Gloomy Thoughts and Gloomy Wealth

Dull, depressing, dingy day:
produce dispiriting reflections and
gloomy thoughts, and small wonder
when we remember that the mind
is not only a motive, but a recep.
tive organ, and that the impression
it receives from without reach II
through the media of senses which
are directly dependent on the con.
ditions of light and atmosphere for
their action, and therefore immedi-
ately influenced by the surround
ing conditions. IL is a common
sense influence that IL the impress
sions from without reach the mind
through imperfectly acting organs
of sense, and those impressions
themselves are set in minor as
thetic key Of color, sound and gen.
eral qualities, the mind must be
what is called moody" II is no,
the habit of sensible people to
make sufficient allowance for this
rationale of dizziness and subjective
weakness. Some persons are more
dependent on external circum-
stances and conditions for their
energy--or the stimulus that con-
verts potential into kinetic force
than others but all feel the in
huenee Of the world without, and
TO this influence the sick and the
weak are especially responsive.

The Early Rising Dclusion.

For farmers and those who live
in localities where people can re,
tire at eight or nine o'clock in the
evening, the old notion about early
rising is siill appropriate. But he
who is kept up till ten or eleven or
twelve o'clock, and then rises at
five or six, because Of the teaching
of some old ditty about "early Ia
rise, is committing a sin agains,
his own soul. There is not one
man in ten thousand who can az
ford TO DO without seven or eigh,
hours sleep. All the stuff written
about great men who sleep only
three or four hours a night is
apocryphal. They have been put
upon such small allowances occa-
sionally and prospered; but no
man ever yet kept healthy in body
and mind for a number Of years
with less than seven hours sleep.
IL you can get 10 bed early, then
rise early; IL you cannot get to bed
TIL late, then rise late. Ii may be
as proper for one man TO rise at
eight as 1t Is for another TO rise az
five. Let the rousing bell be ruug
by at least thirty minutes before
your public appearances. Physi-
clans say that sudden jump out
of bed gives irregular motion
to the pulses. IL takes hours TO
get over a too sudden rising. II is
barbarous TO expect children TO
land on the center Of the floor at
the call OF their nurses. Give them
time after you call, 10 roll over,
gaze 81 the world fnIl 10 the face,
and look before they leap.

Arizona CataconbS.

The Phpnix Herald gives the
following description of recent dis
coveries of Arizona catacomts by
an exploring party, which will be
read with interest:
The discovery was made about
one mile east Of the territory. The
cave was fonnd to have an archel
entrance, about three feet wide
and four feet high. Two Of the
explorers took the lead with can
dies placed in a small board and
this fastened to long pole, which
was carried so that the light was
cast far ahead Of them. and dan
ger from pits or other obstacles thus
avoided.
After proceeding about loo feet
down an incline, they came to the
two main branches Of the cave
Taking the one TO the right and
leaving candles at various points
by which to find their way back,
there being innumerable chambers
branching out in all directions.
they continued their way through
a chamber, the walls of which.
though presenting the appearance
of stalactic formation, were black
and dingy, which was accounted
for by the finding Of ashes and
other indications of fire, evidently
very old. Here, no doubt, was
one Of the haunts and resting
places OF the Apaches. Bones of
all kinds Of animals lay scattered
around, no less than 200 deer ant
lers being seen, and other evidences
of life-destruction and feastiug.-
Animals may have done the work.
but If so, they must have had great
strength to carry their prey to
such. distance.
Into this cavern they erored
their way for a distance of 500
feet and found no end. In some
places the cave was so small thew
would have to creep through, and
then suddenly would find them
selves in a large room, full of
gloomy grandeur, still as death and
as full Of mystery. Their candles
giving out at a point about 500
feet from the entrance, they re-
turned to the light of day for re-
freshments aud more candles.
Upon re-entering, they explor-

gallant colonel Fleming, ana many
a brave soldier. My regiment had
lost 1863 men. Two whole COM
pauies A and c, Eighteenth South
Carolina, had not a man left who
was on duty to tell the tale (; 101
Of my men, including Capts, Me-
Comich and Bridgis, were dead
buried in the crater or scattered
along the works-and sixty-two
missing.
Among the missing were Lieuten-
ant Hill and Sergeant Greer. We
left them in their almost living
grave, Greer digging with his bayo-
net, while Hill passed back the dirt
with all the desperation and de-
spair. They hear not, heed not
the battle that is raging above
them, but toll on. Often hope
would spring mp in their hearts to
give way only to dispair. Hill has
often told me how, when he awoke
to consc BUSINESS of his condition,
the { oughts that flashed through
his brain like lightning flashes;
how he thought il he could only
see one ray of light, or breathe the
fresh air once again; that If he
could only let his wife know how
and where he died, that death
would be relief TO him. Almost
suffocated for want of fresh air,
they worked on; at last it seemed
to them that something had crush
ed them; they had dug through the
loose powders, and the Eighth burst
upon them. They both, overcome
with the sudden transition from
their suffocation and despair to
light and hope, tainted. How long
they remained there they knew
not. When they awoke from their
swoon the first sound that broke
on their ear was the clash of arms,
and the quick rolling roar of the
battle as it ragged around and above.
Almost in stupor, trying TO realize
that they could again see the light
Of heaven, and hear the voice of
a living creature, they lay still I'M
til they recovered their minds
enough to know what was going
on. Hill has often told me that
he knew and realized that it was
battle, the sound was the sweetest
music that ever greeted his ears.
At last the cry of victory arose
high above everything else. They
knew that somebody was vanquish-
ed and that somebody was victor.
who, they new not. They emery
ed from their awful retreat, weak.
worn in body, and with mind al
most crszed. They knew not how
long they had been there; they
did no; know their own comrades.
Nor could they realize that it was
the same day that they were bur-
led.
They were brought back to me
at the field hospital more dead than
alive, for, strange as it may seem,
they were the most sadly changed
men that ever beheld. Both were
fine-looking soldiers before now
they were weak, with sunken
cheeks and eyes. Lieutenant Hill.
