1.-The Heart" is the title of an excel
lent paper lately published. Not until
we read this instructive treatise did we
have the true conc ,ption of how won
derful is the work of the human heart.
We quote by special permission of
the author the following from tho
preface:
every few people have ever given
the attention to their hearts that this
important organ warrants. This won
derful little machine which is not much
larger than your hand. and only about
two and half inches thick, lahors day
and night without rest, performing
such an eormous amount OF work us 10
he almost beyond belief. Physiolo-
gists say each pulsatiOn or contraction
of the heart eXertS 80 pounds of force,
which amounts TO 5000 IL minute, 2l6.-
600 an nOm and the inconceivab BILE
number of ., $4,000 in n single day.
Now, it is necessary that all this vast
amount of lnhnr should he done, and
well don" every day. The health will
surely suffer in co sc luence of The
least failure on the arL of The heart to
properly perform It's duties. When il
is weak or deranged it directly affects
every organ in the human body and
they are unable to perform their duties
from lack of blood and moral force.
Those organs that are more intimately
associated with the heart are usual"
the first to feel the effects when it is
irregular aud fails TO perform its prop
er functions.
This treatise is very artistically
illustrated with handsome plates, and,
although strictly scientific, is written
in IL popular language, making it very
interesting reading for all. The editor
Of this paper has made special arrange
men,s with the publishers to have this
treatise cent free 10 any reader who
sends IL postal card and mentions this
puner. TO The Miles Company, Elk

/ mrde their way out as best thoy could.
! Major Wells, with the larger portion of
tho command, turned toward tho south
and passed through n gap in tho onomy's
limo. Others made their way out be-
tween the Round Tops, while a few
sliirtetl tho base of Round Top and passed
through tho skirmish, line of tho old
Z, Vermont brigade, each of the parties
bringing in about as many prisoners as
they had men.
On the morning of Oct. 10, 1864, tho
First Vermont, with the Eighth and
Twenty second New York, battalion
of the First New Hampshire and squad
ron of the Third Indiana, composing
tho Second brigade of Custcr's cavalry
division, lay on tho right of the Union
line guarding the fords at Cedar creek.
Colonel Wells of the First Vermont COM
manded the brigade. Tho men wero
aroused little before daylight by rat
tie of musketry in the direction of tho
picket line, which was nearly mile to
the front, and in few minutes they
were in saddle ready for whatever the
day might have in storo for them. Dur
luR tilb lOICIlDOl tilC anu Dhlb VI
tho time tho regiment alone, under Gus
tcr's personal direction, gallopcd from
point to point fighting with Rosser's
cavalry. Before Sheridan's arrival at
midday Custor's whole division had
broken through the cnemy's right flank
and thrown Rosser's column off on tho
flank, separating it from the Confeder
ate infantry.
The lines of the enemy rested along
tho Union breastworks OH the north
bank of Cedar creek, and General Sheri-
dan ordered Custer to charge the breast
works, swing to tho left and secure what
ho could. But so rapid were the Con-
fedcratcs i'll their progress to the rear
that before this movement could be cS-
ecuted they were nearly all safely across
the creek, and but few prisoners were
secured. Colonel Wells, with the First
Vermont, moved down through n mar
row wooded ravine which led to ford
across Cedar creek. Captain Watson,
commanding the first squadron, rode
across, and finding tho enemy still re-
treating called his men over, and they
advanced, skirmishing, until they
reached stone wall, about GO rods from
tho creek, where they received volley
from some of Pegram's infantry who
had rallied and were endeavoring to
form behind the wall. Captain Watson
was severely wounded in the shoulder,
and the squadron halted until the re-
maindcr of tho regiment came up. Just
rs the formation was completed General
Custer came up with tho Fifth New
York cavalry, which was all the force
that could then be spared from the first
brigade to assist the Nermonters now
moro than mile from any support.
The situation was desperate, and not a
moment was to be lost. Ten thousand
veteran infantry were within rifle range,
and although broken and dispirited tor
tho time they might, in very few
minutes, prepare successfully to resist a
very much stronger force. The First
Vermont was on tho right and the Fifth
New York on the left of the pike. As
