In an address some time ago the
late DR.. George P Hays told a story
of an old German in Pennsylvania
who, meeting young infdel who was
to speak at the school-house in the
evening, said:
"Is you de young man what is to
schpeak dis evening""
Yes, sir; l am."
"Vsll, vot you schpeak about?'
my subject, sir, is this: Resolved
that will never believe anything
that do not understand.
"Oh. my is dot it2 Veil, now, you
shoost take Won leetle example. There
you see that field, my pasture, over

the left flank. and form;ngon Pender's
left, simultaneous, daringcharge was
made, and the enemy driven pell-mell
into the river. Then commenced the
most terrible slaughter that this war
has yet witnessed. The broad surface
of the Potomac was blue with floating
bodies of our foes. But few escaped
to tell the tale. By their own account
they lost 800 men killed and drown
ed, from one brigade alone. Some
200 prisoners were taken. Ny own
loss was 30killed, 23l wounded. To-
tai, 26l.
This was a wholesome lesson to the
enemy, and taught them to know that
it may be dangerous sometimes to
press retreating army. In this bat
tie did not use piece Of artillery.

An angel passed over the earth one
morning and met little child play

The child looked up with bright
eyes and said "Yes, I am one of His
little lambs.
"Then," said the angel, "there is
work for you to do; go and do it."
"Yss, I will do it after awhile"
said the child. 1T is only morning
now, and the day will be SO long, and
l do love to play"
And the child ran away after the
butterflies and flowers. The angel on
his way murmured, THE day will
end, the night comes, and it will be
too late.
In few year. the child had grown
into a school boy. The angel visited
the earth one morning and passing
near the school, found the boy locked

said he, "the day is passing, night

Oh" laughed the boy, there is

Cold Waves.
Division.

The cold wave, 80 much dreaded by
most people, is really blessing IN dis
guise. 1t charges the atmosphere with
fresh oxygen aud a surplus OF free
electricity, which produces a most eI-
hilarating and beneficial effect upon
mankind. Torpid energies are
aroused, physical vigOr and resistance
increased, by the advent Of a cold wave
to such an extent that any incidental
damage is more than made up for.
The American climate has al%eyc
been recognized as strong factor IN
causing the aggre.siveness and enter
prise which have lifted our people ln-
to the first rank among nations and
made us commercially supreme. The
cold wave, with it's results Of increased
energy and vigor, is meteorological
phenomenon peculiar to this country
The chief of the weather bureau at
Washington explains the origin Of this
wave.
1t appears that with high pressure
system, rotating with great velocity,
large volumes OF cold air are drawn
down from above the clouds, so that
the cold wave is homemade, being
simply a product Of motion. The sys-
tenn OF motion originates in the north
west, but the cold air comes from
above the clouds.
The cold wave is not only useful for
its beneficial effect upon the human
system, but as a cleansing and purify
ing agency. 1t dissipates the deadly
carbonic acid gas, the product OF respl-
ration and combustion, aud the foul
effluvis of decaying matter, increasing
atmospheric circulation generally and
thereby relieving stagnatlon.-Medl-
cal Brief.

Army Corps:
Colonel On the morning of the
Goth, at $50 o'clock, was directed
by General jackson to take my diyis-
ion and drive across the river some
brigades Of the enemy who had cross-
ed during the night, driven of Gener-
al Pendleton's Artillery, capturing
four pieces, and were making prep4ra-
tions to hold their position. Arriving
opposite Boteler's Ford, and about
halt a mile therefrom, l formed my
line of battle in two lines, the first the
brigades of Pender, Gregg and Thom-
as, under command of General Gregg,
and the second, Lane (Branch's Bn-
gade), Archer and Brockenbrongh,
under thecommand ofGeneral Archer.
The enemy had lined theopposlts hills
with some seventy pieces OF artillery,
and the infantry who had crossed lin
ed the crest of the high banks on the
Virginia shore. Ny lines advanced
simultaneously, and soon encountered
theenemy. This advance was made In
the face of the most tremendous FIRE
of artillery ever saw, and too much
praise cannot be given my regiments
for their steady, unwsvering step. 1t
was as if each men felt that the fate OF
the army was centered in himself.
The infantry opposition in front OF
Gregg's center and right was but trif-
