A Muddy Campaign.

From "Recollections of q Private"
in the December Century, we quote the
following: mo country can beat Vir-
etuia road for mud. WeStruck it thick.
1t WAS knee-dcep. 1t was verify heavy
marching The foot sank very insidi-
ously into the mud, and reluctantly
came out again; it had to be coaNed,
and while YOU were persuading your
reluctant left, the willil~r right was
sinking into unknown depths; it came
out of the mud like the noise of sue
tiou-pump when the water is exhaust
ed.
THE order was given, Route step;'
we climbed the banks of the road in
search of firm earth, but it couldn't be-
found, so we went on pumping away,
making about one foot in depth to two
in advance. Our feet seemingly weigh
ed twenty pounds each. We carried q
number six into the unknown depths Of
mud. but it came out number twelve,
elongated, yellow, and nasty; it had
lost its fair proportions, and would be
mistaken for anything but a foot, if
not attached to leg. 1t seemed i'm
possible that we should ever be able to
find our feet in their primitive condi-
ton again. Occasionally 4 boot or
shoe would be left in the mud, and it
would take an exploring expedition to
find it. Oh. that disgusting, sticking
mud! Wad Rider declared that if Vir-
ginia was once in the Union, she was
now in the mud. A big Irish comrade,
Jim O'Brien, facetiously took up the
declension of mud,-mud, mudder,
murder, pulling foot out at each
variation for emphasis. Jack E. de-
clared it would be impossible to dis
lodge an enemy stuck in the mud as we
We're.
The army resembled, more than
anything else, congregation of flies
making pilgrimage through molasses.
The boys called their feet 'pontons,'
'mud-hooks,' .soil-excavators, and 9TH
er names not quite so polite. When we
halted to rest by the wayside, our feet
were in the way of ourselves and every
body else. Keep your mud-hooks out
of my way Save your pontoons for
another bridge were heard on all
sides, mingled with all the reckless,
profane, and quaint jokes common to
the army, and which are not for print.
The mud was in constant league
with the enemy; an efficient ally in de-
fenSive warfare; equivalent to re-en-
forcements of twenty thousand infant.
~. To realize the situation, spread
tar a foot deep all over your backyard.
and then try to walk through it; par
ticularly is this experiment recon-
mendcd to those citizens who were con-
stantly crying, Why doesn't the army
move?' 1t took the military yalor all
out OF man. Any one would think.
from reading the Northern newspapers.
that we soldiers had macadamized
roads to charge over at the enemy. 1t
would have pleased us much to have
seen those On to Richmond fellows
put over a tive-mile course in the Fir-
ginia mud, loaded with . Foreground
knapsack, sixty rounds of cartridges.
and haversacks filled with four days

Swedish Folk Lore.

On New Years Eve, after tie lights
put out in your bedroom, you must
throw your slippers over your left
shoulder, and then look next morning
to see in what position it has fallen. If
the toe points to the door you will
leave that house during the year; but
if the toe points inward, then you will
remain where you are for another year.
1t is customary, also, on the same
night for the people to 60 out into the
house where the logs of wood are kept
that arc used for fuel. Each one picks
up the first log that comes to hand; if
it is clean and shapely piece, so will
his or her future partner be, and vice
versa.-Notes and Queries.

The definition of man as q cooking
animal is not less profound than agree
able. 1t relieves us of Il painful dilem-
ma. For if, with coarse assurance, we
define man to be carnivorous animal,
we confound him with savage beasts;
and if, on the other hand, we style him
herbivorous, the progress of centuries
is ignored, and he is associated with
tanner animals. Balzac has remarked
that one of the keenest joys of the gour-
mand lies in the mystery concealed by
the covered dish in the anticipation and
revelation; 'C'est Ia surprise, l'impres-
sion gastronomique du plat extraurdi-

Delaware claims to have the largest
grapevine in the world. 1t is on the
farm OF Mrs. Chandler, in Christiana
Hundred. The main trunk is about 6
feet high, averages in circumference
over co inches, and is 81 inches around
in the largest place. Some haif-dozen
branches issue from the trunk, each of
which is as thick as a mans arm, and
spreads itself for many yards over and
through the branches of several large
trees that seem to have reared them
selves especially for the development of
the great vine. Nearly dozen springs
of pure water rise q few feet away, and
are source of never-failing nourish-
ment to the vine. The vine is of the
raccoon variety, and produces between
twenty-five and thirty bushels of grapes
yearly

The Mind During Starvation.

The recent case of cannibalism at sea
opens up some curious questions as to
the effects of fasting on the moral ma
server, death by starvation simply
means wasting of the body, a horri-
BILE agony, an increasing weakness, q
lethargic state of the brain, and sleep
from which there is no awakening; but
is this all that it means? While this is
going on, let us consider whether or
not the intellectual faculty, and with it
the power of distinguishing right fEom
wrong, is not also undergoing pro-
cess Of wasting and death, even before
that of the material part, for, however
dangerous it may be to received opin-
ions to associate the material nature of
brain with the moral nature of our be-
ing, we are bound to do so to elucidate
some of the facts connected with this
case.
Reasoning by analogy, we find that,
in many cases of bodily disease, the
state of the mind is the first indicator
of the mischief going on in the system.
Take even such a simple thing as indi-
gestion, which, as every one must
know, is only a manifestation of a de-
ranged stomach, and what do we find?
That the lowness of spirits induced by
this affection may vary from slight de-
lection and ill-humor to the most ex-
IRENE melancholy, sometimes inducing
even a disposition to suicide. The suf-
ferer misconceives every act of friend
ship, and exaggerates slight ailments
into heavy grievances. So in starva-
ton, the power of reason seems para
lyzed and the intellectual faculty dazed
really before the functions of the body
suffer, or even the wasting of its tissue
becomes extreme. Such being the
case, the unfortunate individual is not
accountable for his actions, even if they
be criminal in character, long before
death puts an end to his sufferings.-
