"Bring an axe, I'm agoin' to bust this

Luke knew there must be no longer de-

saying:
"Have no fears, ladies, you shall not be
harmed"
"Why, hellol Cap'n, war you in thars"
cried the astounded trooper, who was anx-

might pass for the " Deserted Village.p
Aftera short council OF war It was deter.
mined TO pass the night here. t @
They had brought one Of the wounded
men with them, and hewas so weak by this
time that he was unable to ride further.
They carried him into one Of the deserted
houses and laid him on the floor, where he
lied before morning. During the remainder
of the night the soldiers remained huddled
together in three Of the deserted houses,
listening to the pattering Of the rain upon
the shingles and the expiring groans
their dying comrade.
Luke Mason regards this as the mosL
miserable night Of his army life. He was
In an old hut, and worn out with fatigue
and anxiety sat shivering and doing upon
the ground. The roof was full Of holes, and
the drizzle which finally assumed the form
Of cold rain sent the water drip, drip,
dripping through the rather loose boards In
hundred different places Although he
again and again selected position where
he hoped to be out Of the leak, yet ere he
had long been in his new place the cold
water came drip, drip, dripping down upor
him, entering his collar, and gliding down
his back.
But the long, dreary night came to an end,
and with the coming OF the morning the rain
ceased, though 1t was still cloudy, cold and
clustering.
SNOW, Captain, where do you say we

ave must be about twelve miles from
the fort.n
"Yes, and in the worst kind of rebel
hot-bed."
The commander Of the expedition knew
this, and as soon as he could got his force
in motion. They had gone about mile In
the direction of Fort Donelson when they
entered q narrow lane. On a hill stood Q
large two-story farmhouse, with at least
q dozen doors and windows facing the road
It stood on the left, while on the right was
o large barn.
The anxious soldiers spurred their jaded
horses onward, depending on the advanced
guard, which had already passed the house
to warn them Of danger.
The column was directly between the
house and barn when suddenly shot from
q cluster OF bushes In the yard was heard
Instantly every door and window became
q volcano from which there issued smoke,
flame, fire and death. Bullets and buck
shot whizzed like hail about the troops.
Men fell, horses reared, plunged and be-
came unmanageable, and, whilo Luke was
trying to rally his men, his own steed,
pierced by dozen bullets, fell against the
fence.
In vain Captain Mason tried to disengage
his feet from the stirrups, the horse rolled
over, and the young officers head STRUCK
some hard substance with such force as u

When he regained consciousness ht

WONDERS OF MAN.

Tho Harmony and Adaptation OF All Parts
Of the Human Body.
Wonders at home by familiarity cease To
excite astonishment; and thence 1t happens
that many know but little about the 'house
we live in''-the human body. We look
upon man as we look upon house, from
the outside, Just as whole or unit, never
thinking Of the many rooms, the curious
passages and the internal arrangements Of
the house, or OF the wond erful structure Of
the man-the harmony and adaptation Of
all parts.
In the human skeleton, about the time Of
maturity, are 165 bones. The muscles arc
about 800 In number. The length OF the
alimentary canal is about thirty-two feet.
The amount OF blood In an adult Is nearly
thirty pounds, or fully one-fifth Of the entire
weight.
The heart is six inches In length and four
inches in diameter, and beats seventy times
per minute, 400 times per hour, 100, 800
times per day, 36,772,0 900 times per year,
2,565, ,44O. 900 in three score and ten; at each
beat two and half ounces OF blood are
thrown out Of 1t, 176 ounces per minute, $50
pounds per hour, seven and three-fourths
tons per day. Allthe blood in the body passes
through the heart every three minutes.
The little organ by It's ceaseless industry,
In the allotted span
The Psalmist gave 20 man,
lifts the enormous weight of 800, 0,7Oo, 200
tons.
The lungs will contain one gallon OF air
at about their usual imitation. We breathe
on an average 1,200 times per hour, inhale
600 gallons Of air, or IA, 400 gallons per day.
The aggregate surface Of the air-cells OF the
lungs exceed 10000 square inches, an area
very near equal TO the floor Of q room twelve
feet square.
The average weight Of the brain Of the
adult male is three pounds and eight
ounces. The nerves are all connected with
II, directly, or through the spinal marrow.
These nerves, together with their branches
and minute ramifcations, probably exceed
100000 in number, forming "body-
guard" outnumbering by far the mightiest
army ever marshaled.
The skin is composed Of three layers, and
varies from one-fourth 10 one-eighth OF an
inch In thickness. Its average area In an
adult is estimated 10 be 1000 square inches.
The atmospheric pressure being about
fourteen pounds TO the square inch, n per.
son Of m Nlium size Is subjected 10 q press
ure Of 10000 pounds.
Each square inch Of skin contains $500
sweating tubes, or perspiratory pores, each
Of which may be hkened TO little drain

The Origin Of "siy Uncle.p

The term uncle's, as applied to pawn
brokers' shop, Is said TO be pun on the
Latin word uncus, a hook. Pawnbrokers
employed hook TO lift articles pawned be-
fore spouts were adopted. ''Gone to the
uncus,n therefore, is exactly tantamount to
the more modern phrase, "up the spout.n
In French the concierge Of prison Is
called uncle, because the prisoners are
"kept there in pawn" by the Government
In the seventeenth century a usurer was
called ''my uncle'' In the Walloon Provinces
because ofhi near connection with spend
thrifts, calledin Latin nepotes, nepheMs.
