Music for the Sick.

Music arouses the circulation of the
blood, wakes up the energies, and diff
fuses life and animation to every faculty
of the soul.
There may be cases where the most
exciting music upon stringed instru-
ments is required to awaken the sensi-
bility, but for the sick generally, we
should omit such music as appeals to
the muscles, and tends to lift the foot,
instead of the affections Of the soul, and
select only such music as will soothe as
well as cheer-music that appeals di-
rectly to our spiritual nature; music
that tends to lift the soul above the pain
and sorrows of earth into the realms of
peace and joy.
In music there is great recuperative
power. Who has not observed the in
valid forget pain and WEAKNESS under
the stimulating effect of music? Who
has not seen the pale cheek flush, the
dull eye sparkle, and the whole frame
beam with animation, as the sweet mel
ody of some far-off songster is waited in
at the open window?
The charms of music are wonderful,
and may be modified and varied so as
arouse to thought and action those
whose emotional life seems to stagnate,
| as well to soothe and tranquilize those
whose nervous systems have been worn
| out by disease, or by the cares and trials
of life. The singing Of birds does much
to cheer and enliven our spirits, and
made this world more beautiful. But
the human voice affords the best music
for the sick, as we'll as for social and re-
ligious worship.
Music should always be selected with
Judgment, and when used as q thera-
peutic agent should be chosen with di-
rect reference to the physical and mem
tai condition Of the patient. There are
certain kinds of music which act like
the whip and spur, which may encour-
age the racer for q time, but weary him
to death at the last. There are other
kinds of music which soothe the mind
and tranquilize and restore the tired and
worn-out nervous centers. ~ 8}f
Music is especially adaptedto the cure
of the insane, and ifjudiciously selected,
will do much to cali back the recollec-
tions of earlier days and bring the mind
to its normal condition. Music will dc
much to assist the physician in tran
QUILTING, harmonizing and restoring
+ the physical and mental condition of the
patient, whose brain and nervous sys
tenn have been overtaxed, or whose over
1 excited imagination has unbalanced tht
Judgment. If musical instruments arr
used, reed instruments, like the organ
melodeon or ACCORDION, should be Sc
lected. Stringed instruments, like th'
piano or violin, are exciting, and tent

ed up the remaining battalions, raising
the number OF the column to one thou
sand one hundred the force at San ia
cinto on the 2lst of April.
The line of battle was then formed
and arms stacked. A company of cav
airy under Capt. Aguirre was then Or
dered to advance about two miles to
reconnoiter the enemy, with orders from
President Santa Anna that if they were
few to retire, but if numerous to report.
But this was not possible, as the enemy
were advancing on the right and center,
partly covered by the Ugh grass, and
Capt Aguirre was found to be wounded
in the leg, and the advance retired in
disorder. The enemy then charged the
main body, where President Santa Anna
was, and the confusion became SO great
that there was very little resistance, and
still less when Col. Correblon fell dead
under cannon.
We then retreated with the President
Santa Anna towards the Brazos, only to
find the bridge burned. There we dis
persed among the rushes (tule). Many
were drowned, not knowing how to
swim. A party of five of us-myself,
Sergt. Medina, a soldier named Molino,
and two soldiers whose names did not
know-arrived at the Brazos River at Z
P. NJ. on the 21st of April, which was
the day of the action.
Gen. Filisola, who remained in COM
mand of the troops on the Brazos, would
not believe our report of the defeat; but
later in the night another soldier arrived
afoot, bringing the same news that we
did, and that he had left the President
on this side of the river afoot, and that
he was probably captured, as he was in
fact the next day.
Gen. Filisola then marched with the
rest of the forces in the direction o1
Columbia, to Join Gen. Don Jose Urea
coming from La Bahia, whom he mel
between Brazoria and Columbia, where
the Generals held council. Urres
wished to march to San Jacinto, bul
Filisola would not. Meanwhile courier
arrived with note from President San
ia Anna, that to save his life and the
lives of the Mexican prisoners, it wa.
necessary that the army should counter
march across the Rio Grande, and tha
Gen. Serna should hurry, as he was con
sidered responsible for the deaths at th'
Alamo as chief of vanguard. This is al
! | can state.
This is what took place at La Bahi;
with the troops under Gen. Urea, a
told to me by an American who wa
among those shot, but escaped from
among the corpses without knowing il
what manner Thus, when the 500 mel
were taken prisoners by Gen. Urea, b
guaranteed their lives until he could re
port to President Santa Anna, who wa
in San Antonio, and the answer was sen
from Santa Anna by Col. Jose Vicen
Minon, that they should all be shot
which was accordingly done.

Seventy Years q Printer.

The New Orleans Times of June 20
says " Yesterday the Bee was gracefully
dressed in mourning over the death OF
Francois Delaup its veteran founder,
who died at the age of 80 years. Born
in San Domingo, he came to this city
at 10 years of age, and at once began
to learn the printing business, at which
he has continued ever since, for the ur-
precedented period Of 70 years. Halt a
century ago last September he founded
the Bee. In few years its ownership
passed out OF his hands, but he has re-
manned upon it ever since as proof
reader. The physical constitution that
for so many years could endure the ex-
hausting night work of this occupation
must have been remarkble. He had q
son killed in the defense OF Atlanta, but
he had other children, and leaves large
circle of relatives and, warm friends.
He was universally esteemed as q man
of the strictest integrity and OF the high
est sense of honor.

WHAT MAKES THE MAN

Many people seem to forget that
character grows; that it is not some
thing to put on, ready made, with wo-
manhood or manhood; but, day by day,
here little and there a little, grows
with the growth and strengthens with
the strength, until, good or bad, it be-
comes almost coat of mail. Look At
a man of business prompt, reliable,
conscientious, yet clear-headed and en-
ergetic. When do you suppose he de-
yeloped all these admirable qualities:
When he was boy.
Let us see the way in which boy
of ten years gets UP in the morning,
works, plays, studies, and we will tell
you just what kind of man he will
make. The boy that is late at break
fast, and late at school, stands poor
chance to be a prompt man. The boy
who neglects his duties, be they ever
SO small, and then excuses himself by
saying, 81 forgot! I didn't thinkp' will
never be a reliable man. And the boy
who finds pleasure in the suffering of
weaker things, will never be noble.

The roses filled the air with musk

He twined a rosebud in her hair.
He kissed the tresses beaming fair
IT will be true, for aye, to thee"
He whispered, keep this rose for me
And Wnen its leaves have turned to dust
Show me, and say I've kept my trust
They wandered slowly down the lane.
The moon was hidden meath cloud.
They murmered to brooks refrain
That by the Wayside planted loud.
She could not see his faithless eyes,
She only heard his sweet replies
To her low words The moon shone down
Upon a rosebud crushed and brown
The tender blossom frail and sweet
That he had trampled meath his feet
She tWines red rose in her hair,
The youth is stricken from her face;
Her eyes are dimmed with her despair,
Her mouth is hopeless in it's grace.
Q woman's unayailing tears
0 weary, tagging. lonely years
She leans out in the summer night,
The old moon glimmers, wan and white
And, far away below the lane
brooklet sobs as if in pain.

KEEPING GOATS FOR PROFIT.

The facts show that the number of
goats in the United States is increasing
very considerably. Large flocks are
kept in Texas and California, and more
or less in almost every State in the
Union. Many persons are turning their
attention to raising these animals as q
profitable occupation.
In personal appearance the goat is
not very graceful; boys sometimes in
towns and cities train them to draw
their wagons, but very often the mas
ter and driver gets an unlooked-for
bunt from this owner of beard, And
as to his habits around town, every
body knows this native of the noun
tain will brouse off the finest shrub or
plant you have in your door-yard, and
feel no regrets. His defiant impudence
is proverbial.
Insome localities goats are kept for
milk, both in Europe and America.
They are the COWS of the poor, and
they live where sheep would starve.
The principal value Of the goat is his
skin and hair. Large quantities Of
skins are annually imported for tan
ming. Goat-skin morocco makes the
best of shoes for ladies' and children's
wear. Sheep-skin is worked so as to
resemble very closely the goat, but eX-
pert leather dealers readily detect the
difference, and the buyer soon finds out
the deception when the shoe; are worn.
The Angora goat produces fleece of
"mohair'' valuable for variety Of
manufacturing purposes; while the
Cashmere goat has an underground Of
| fine wool, from which the Well-knoWn
costly shawl of that name is made. BY
crossing with the Angora males, the
common goat can soon be bred up to
grade of fineness where the fleece is
worth as much as the pure breed.
! The poorest and toughest land will
satisfy the goat; he is no epicure, and
like his distant relative the sheep, he
seeks the rocks, the hills and the noun
tains. Pure air, wind and altitude, call
him away from the wet meadows and
damp rayines.
There are millions of waste acres in
Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, in
deed all along the Allegheny range,
and the vast and sublime mountain
slopes Of the Rocky Mountain chain,
as well as in the more barren portions
of every State in the Union, where this
Arab of animals might live, multiply,
and add to the wealth of man, at
nominal cost.
The care OF a flock of goats differs
| little from that of sheep, the rules for
feeding and breeding being essentially
the same.-Young Folks Rural.
