CHAPTER IN.
ARRIVAL IN THE POTOMAC.

Little occurred worthy of particular
notice, from the morning of the first
till the evening of the llth Of Septem-
Der. During the first five days of the
month, the fleet remained stationary;
those at the head of affairs being occu-
pied III preparing their dispatches,
whilst | and my companions killed
time, 10y having recourse to as many
expedents as our situation enabled us
to adopt. We walked the deck; we
read the few volumes that were within
our reach, till we had almost learned
them by heart; we bathed in the river,
rowed about from ship to ship, and oc-
casionally. ventured to put foot upon
its banks, and even to penetrate I lit
tie way beyond them. Our sportsmen,
moreover, myself among the number,
brought their guns and tishing-tackle
into requisition; with both of which
they succeeded in obtaining consider
able amusement. The PatuXent
aboundcd with fish,-we took in our
nets, not unfrcquently, as many as five
or six dozen of different kinds in
morning; and the woods proved to be
full Of partridses, quails, and hares,
and, above all, Of wild turkeys, there
was no lack of game to reward our la
bors on shore. Two of the latter | was
one day fortunate enough to kill, and
they proved Il very acceptable addition
to our mess.
In the meanwhile the wounded were
divided into three classes, according to
the nature and severity of their hurts.
Such as, like myself, had received mere
scratches, being placed upon the list of
convalescents, were regarded as fit for
duty, and left in their respective trans
ports. Such as had been more severe
ly, and yet not seriously injured, were
removed to the Maj ajestic," for the pur-
pose of being carried to Halifax; whilst
the dangerously wounded men, whose
ultimate recovery, if they recovered at
all, promised not to occur for many
months to come, were lodged on board
Of lhe "1pligenia," already appointed
to bear the news of our victory to En-.
land. Every cNcrtion was, moreover
made, to restore to the little army that
perfect discipline and order, which the
progress of dashing campaign had
unavoidably weakened. His own KNAPP
sack, for example, was, as far as could
be, returned to each of the men, and
the necessarirs OF as many rs had suf-
fered a loss in the late operations. were
made good The clothing, accoutrc-
mcnts, and arms of all were carefully
cleaned and repaired; in word, every
advantage was taken of the breathing
! time, to place, as perfectly as circum-
stances would allow, the armament in
a state of renewed efficiency.

EASE AND DISEASE.
A SHORT LESSON ON THE MEANING OF a
FAMILIAR WORD.

Disease is the opposite of ease
Webster defines disease as "lack OF
ease, uneasiness, trouble, vexation, dis.
quiet, 1t is condition due to some
arrangement of the physical organism.
A vast majority of the "dis-ease' from
which people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla which puriies,
enriches and vitalizes the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures scrofula,
salt rhcum, pimples and all eruptions.
1t tones the stomach and creates
good appetite, and it gives vigor and
vitality to the whole body. 1t reverses
the condition of things, giving health,
comfort and ease in place of "disease."

\ NEGLECTED CHARM.

Women of refinement and education
in other directions often speak in harsh,
nasal or indistinct tones. showing an
tire want of care and cultivation of the
beautiful art of familiar speaking. A
musical-speaking voice, with clear
enunciation. is one of the most rcstful
subtle charms of personality, and un-
like most precious things it is within
the reach Of almost any one who cares
to have it. Have you never, in some
sudden pause and silence, been startled
by the echoing ring of your own voice
in your ears? 1t had been raised too
high, perhaps, in argument or expost-
ulation, or had vibrated with anger.
How quiet you were, and full of cha
grin, for half hour after that expe-
rience! There is comforting truth
about this matter. A pleasing voice
and manner of speech can be acquired
by almost any one who is willing to
give a little attention and practice to
it. First, as l have said, listen to
your own voice as you speak. lnvol-
UNFAIRLY you will lower and soften it.
Practice with your sister or other girl
associates each in turn and each try
ing to improve her own natural voice.
Do not initiate, do not make unnatural
or affected changes, but having tried
your usual voice critically, decide
where it needs improvement, and hold
yourself to the reformation. If you
are like nine out of every ten Amerl-
can girls your voice is pitched too
high. Lower it, and make constant
effort to keep it down. Speak from
the chest, not from the throat or head.
Practive the modulation Of your speak
ing voice as patiently as a singer
practices the scales. 1t is worth while
because it is for the pleasure and good
of all around you more than for your
owr. In the effort to keep your voice
low and gentle you will make the first
practical move toward calm outward
demeanor, and success in this will i'm
