THE Tone OF BULLETS A soldier writing from

pitch of large sized mimic yesterday-it was a

pretty change One of the most startling sounds is
that produced by the Hotchkiss' shell. It comes
like the shrek OF IA demon, and the brayeSt old
soldiers feel like ducking when they hear it. 1t is
no more destructive than some other missiles. but
there is great deal in mere sound to work upon
mems fears. The tremendous scream is caused by

ball seems to gather up the atmosphere and carry
it along as the earth carries its atmosphere through
space. Men are frequently killed by the wind of
cannon shot. There is law which causes the

The Cotton State conspirators have sudden.
ly discovered that cotton, with which they
propose to conquer the world, is weakness
They have been moved to forbid accumulation
at any of the ports, knowing that it would
cause attempts to be made for its capture. So
the cotton planters, instead of sending of their
staple which has hitherto been as good as gold
to them, are obliged to keep it at home, where
it is perfectly Yalueless. This may cause the
plantocracy TO indulge in reflections on the
evils of their ways.

GoosEBERRIEs.-A correspondent of the
Boston Cultivator says it is well known that
gooseberry bushes do not produce their finest
fruit until they are four or five years old. Af-
ter that period the quality of the fruit general
ly deteriorates. The plan, therefore. to secure
fruit of the largest size, is to transplant the
bushes at two years old. The next or third
year it must not be allowed to fruit, but in the
fourth year it will be in its glory, and under
ordinary circumstances will produce berries ci
unusual size.

The heroism of private life, the slow
unchroniclcd martyrdoms of the heart,
who shall remember? Greater than any
knightly dragon slayer of DID, is the man
who overcomes an unholy passion, sets
foot upon it, and stands serene and strong
in virtue. Grander than Zenobia is the
woman who struggles with love that
would wrong another or degrade her own
soul, and conquers. The young man, ar
dent and tender, who turns from the dear
love of woman, and buries deep in his
heart the sweet instinct of paternity, to
devote himself to the care and support of
aged parents or an unfortunate sister, and
whose life is long sacrifice in manly cheer
fulness and majestic uncomplaint, is a
hero of the rarcst of types-the type of
Charles Lamb. 8."


The young woman who resolutely stays
with father and mother in the old home
while brothers and sisters 60 forth to hap
by homes of their own; who cheerfully
lays upon the altar of filial duty that
costlicst of human Sacrifices the joy Of
loving and of being loved-she is a hero
inc. The husband who goes home from
the weary routine and perplexing cares Of
his business with cheerful smile and a
loving word for his invalid wife; who
brings not against her the gricvous sins
of long sickness, and reproaches her not
for the cost and discomfort thereof who
sees in her languid eye something dearer
than the girlish laughter, in the sad face
and faded cheeks that blossoms into smiles
and even bushes at his coming, something
lovelier than the old-time spring roses
he is hero. F. a. -.


The wife who bears the part in the bur-
den of life-even though it be the larger
part--bravcly, cheerfully; never dream
ing that she is heroine, much less a
martyr; who bears with the faults of a
husband, not altogether congenial, with
loving patience and a large charity, and
with noble decision hiding them from
the world; who makes no con6dents and
asks no condolences; who rofrains from
brooding over short comings in sympathy
and sentiment, and for seeking for peril
GUS " afinities = who does not build high
tragedy sorrows on the inevitable, nor feel
an earthquake in every family jar; who
sees her husband united with herself IN.
dissolubly and cternally in their children
she, the wife in every truth, in the in
ward as in the outward, is a heroine,
though of rather an questionable type

At late dinner party in New York city, ex-
president Van Buren related that in his west
ern tour, while president, one Lincoln, law
yer of some local repute, was chairman of the
reception committee; and in their formal inter
view he was so much impressed with him that
he called him to his own room, afterwards, for
more intimate discourse. He had often thought
of that interview and of that man; and falling
to hear of him in public life he had set it down
that brilliant intellect was lost to the world
and was heard of in a senatorial contest that
aroused the interest of the whole country
To-day he was heard of again as the presid mt
elect. And that man was Abraham Lincoln OF
Springfield Ill. Mr.. Van Buren, gave it as his
testimony, from the remembrance of mere than
twenty years ago, that he was "endowed with
talents to adorn the station"

KINpNEss-How much misery may be aba
ted. how much suffering may be removed by
the simple tone and expression of the human
voice Upon the heart that is lone ard desc
late that feels itself, as it were, shut out of the
world, wrapped up in gloomy imaginngs, how
sweetly falls the voice of sympathy and conso-
lation Why is it, then, since everything
proves, and none are ignorant of the fact-that
all must lie down in the earth together, since all
are travellers in this higway to death-why is
it that each should be so sparing of that which
costs nothing, but which might raise the droop-
ing spirits of his neighbor, and cheer him on
his journey--a few kind words and kindly
looks.
