Children Gone.
Sometimes, when day grows dusky,
And the slurs begin to come.-
thn the children from their playing,
Come singing and laughing home,
I think, with a. sudden sorrow,
As they press through the open door,
Ofthe faces of the children
That we never shall le any more.
Children in snow-white caskets,
Laid away to their rest.
Their still hands lying folded
Over the pulse-less breast !
Children who came and larried
As only it were for a night,
And passcdmt the break of the morning,
0n ajourncy far out of’sight.
On along and lonely journey,
Where we could not help or hold,
For we saw but. the closing eyelids,
The fading of locks of gold,
And knew how now was but silence,
Where once had been pralflc and song
And only a chill and a shadow.
Where was sunshine the whole day long.
Away from our care and caresses,
“God knows where they are," we say,
And we know that we talry behind them,
Only a little way;
For we, too, haste in our journey,
And we know it. will not be long
Till we colne lo the city eternal,
The rest and rupture of son".
Yet oft, when the sun is setting
In unspeakable splendcr of light,
Or the day grows dim anddu'sky,
And the shadows stretch into the night.
The children tired with lheir playing,
Come in through the open door,
I think of the dear, dear children.
who never willcomc any more.

nv “ADJ."
One cold night in the winter of '65, it. was
my fortune to take the night train frotu Ma-
con to Atalanta. in company with Col. '1‘.
formerly of a New Hampshire Regiment.
The Railroad had not been refilled since
the war, and the uccommoda‘ions were poor,
even for a daylight trip.
We anticipated a bad night, and the pros-
pectmadc me think'of several night, during
the last four years, that stood prominent
among a host of ugly nights, for their inten-
sity of ugliness. In this mood I turned to
the Col. and inquired,“ he could fix on any
one night during his service, which be con-
sidered as surpassing all others in wretched—
ncss. .
After reflecting a moment the CUIOIIC] com
menccd :—
V “There are many nights I shall never for
get; but just now'onc occurs to me, which
always seemed peculiarly horrible.
“It was just. after the surrender at Vicks—
burg, when the Divlsion to which I belonged
had been sent to take Jackson,‘Miss., from
Gen. Johnston.
“We had fi fished our approaches to the
place, and the two armies lay confronting
each other; the sirmishers continually ex-
changing shots. My Regiment was on. the
extreme left and in advfiuce. Seven compa-
nies were out as skirmishers;—lhc remain-
der in reserve a short distance in the rear.—
Thc ground was exceedingly rough and brok-
en, und my pickets were sci: aralcd from the
Rcbs by a ravine, deep, but only a few rods
in width. The men on botll sides were con-
ccaled behind trees, stumps, bushcs,'0r uny-
tlling that would furnish a shelter.
“They were so close that the slightest
noise, on either side, would instantly bring a
shot. in that. direction.
“It was a lnisfy,drizzlingalisagrce lbfc day.
“During the afternoon 1 passed along the
line to see that every man was t ttending to
his duty, for I was fearful of an attempt to
turn our flank. Several of my men had been
shot at their posts. I found the men lying
quict,intcntly peeling across the ravine,wait- '
ing for any incautious movement on the
other side.
“I remember I 'crawled to one of the ad-
vanced posts, where three of my men were
stationed, and lying down behind a slump,
’ remained for several minutes, while I looked
for any signs of the enemy. As I was about
giving up my watch, Idetected a movement
among the undcrbush on the opposite side.
Looking closely, I made out distinctly the
form of a rasmlly-looking 'gray-back,’ just
rising and evidently. watching something, a
short distance toany right.
“In a low tone I ordered one of my men
to pass Inc his rifle, and drew a bend on him,
as he was raising his peicc to take aim.
"It was an easy pistoljrangc, and my arm
was steady. He was the first and only man
whom I shot deliberately, and even now it
worries me when I think of it; but Iknow
I saved the life of one of my own men, for
at that distance, he could not have missed;
and those rebel backwoodsmcn had a knack
of not missing at almost any distance.
“After completing my round and returning
to my headqitartcrs, which consisted of a
‘shcltcr tcnt,’ I felt unusually depressed in
spiritsl Ihad a sort of presentiment that.
something would happen (lilting the night,
and do what I would, I found it impossible
to rid myself of the feeling
“The du’y closed into an evening, dark and
dismal. .
“Just afterdarkcue of my last Captains,
and my intimate riend, was brought. in shot
through the body by his own men. He was
‘Oflicer of the Day,’ and after visiting the ex-
treme posts on the left, lost his way in the
darkness,-gotnutsidc the lines, and on un-
suspectiugly coming towel d another post,
was shot. by the men, whom he had just in—
structed to fire at anything approaching.
“Of course, the night commencing so in-
auspiciously did not lessen my depression of
spirits. But after dark the 0 lug had almost.
ceased, and in its place there was an unusual
stillness. Not even a breath of air stirred
the brnnchss of the trees.
“Thus the hours wore away until finally,
wctrie.‘ with the labors of the day, I deter-
mined to lie down. So strong, however,was
my forebodzng of ill, I found it impossible to
sleep, and (lid notuubucklc my sword.
“About 11 o‘clock the stiffness was bloken
by the sharp, ringing crack of a rifle, follow-
ed alm rst instintly by the most horrible
sound I ever heard. I: was the unearthly
s‘lriek of a man in dying agony- Fora sin-
gle. moment it rose on the night air, echoing
through the wood,thcn the smnc awful still-
ness ensued.
“The report and the yell were both from
our own line, as was evident from their near-
uess and disliuctucss. I immediately splang
up and found my reserve all in line, waiting
for some solution to the terrible sound; but
excepting by our own whispers the silence
was unbroken. .
“I’crlmps an hour passed, flu-n there was
oncc more a rifle shot, followed again by the
gurgling cry of" a dying man. both sounds
coming from the same quarter as before.
“In- a few moments men cllnc struggling
in through the darkness, having left their
pos's in lelllr, unable ll. gm, any “'l'ml.
save that our men \\('lt' being killed, and m,
enemy could be heard, much less, seen.
“Presentl y a corporal from one of the posts
found his way in, and reported that his com-
rade on watch had been stabbed.
“Hearing :1 sound in the ravine he had fir-
ed i I that direction. The moment he fired,
some one had sprung on aim and stlbbcd
him through the heart, saying—‘Now, God
d—n you, I've got you," and immediately
disappcllcd in the darkness.
“Fearing that in their terror my men had
all dcse led their posts,l determined to take a
squad of men, and ascertain as well as possi-
ble the real condition of things, So thick
was the darkness, I found it impossible for
the men to follow each other, so going to the
right of the line, I ordered the men to join
hands and thus proceed in single file. In
this way we moved along as far as I thought
prudent. Then, trusting to my own knowl-
edge of tee ground: I determined to halt the
company, and go on quietly alone, until I
found one of the outposts. Ol'dcrmg the
Inca to remain in perfccfsilcucc, and step-
ping, myself, as noiselcssly as possible, I left
them. I had gone, perhaps, two hundred
yards, when I heard at my right a stealthy
step, apparently moving towards me. Re-
maining motionless I pointed my revolver
in the direction of the sound, and, in as quiet
a tone as I could Command, spoke, ‘Who
comes there ?’
“There was no reply and the step ceased.
By firing I would onl/ reveal my own posi-
tion, so I determined to wait in silence Af-
ter a few moments pause I again heard the
step. It was coming nearer. Very quietly,
and step by step it came, until I imagined it.
only some ten feet: distant. Then it stopped.
I think that was the most horrible moment
of my life. My blood seemed to freeze and
I believe my hair stood on end. There in
the utter darkness, with no help near, afraid
to fire and afraid to stir, expectlngcvcry mo-
ment to feel the knife.
“My heart stopped beating and the licking
of my watch, seemed like the noise of anti“.
“For several minutes I could detect no
movement, then came the sound of that step
once more, but now it came no nearer. Qui-
etly and stealthily as it. approached it with-
drew to the left and front.
“I hunted for no more outposts, but as
quietly «.s that step, I made my way back to
my men, and stationed them as well as pos-
sible in the darkness, waited through the
longest night I ever know, until the grey
dawn of morning enabled us to find our cul-
posts and replace missing men. We found
the two men, who had been murdered, at
their posts, and from the manner of their
deaths, concluded that the enemy had taken
this desperate method of averaging the death
of some of their ov- a number. One had ap-
proached to the picket noisclcssly until within
reach, then in some manner drawing his fire,
had taken advantage of the flash to stab him
and retreat. . '
“I have no doubt the step I heard Was of
one on such an errand, who had perhapsdost
his way; and I feel certain that nothing but
my remaining motionless saved my life.”

SUBSTITUTE non 'rnn Baum—The follolir-
ing plan was adopted by Sir Astbly Cooper,
during mar y years of his life, and is worthy
of the eXalnplc of those who cannot enjoy
the ble~sing of bathing in their own house :
“Immediately on rising from bed, and hav-
ing all previously rendy,_lake 00 your night,
dress; then take up from your earthen pan
of \Vfllt'l‘ a towel quite wet, ,ut not dropping;
begin at your head, rubbing the hair and face
and ntck, and ears well; then wrap yourself
behind and before, from neck to chest, your
arms and way portion of your body. Re-
mand your towel into the pan, charge it
afresh with water, and repeat once all I have
men ions-d, excepting. the helldgnglegs that
b- ln a heated slate, when you may d9 90.
and with advantage. Three minutes will .
now have elapsed. Throw your toWe-l into
the pan, and then proceed with two long,
course, drv towels, to scrub your head, and
face, and body, from and rear, when four
minutes will have you in a glow; then wash
and rub your fee', brush your hair, and com-
plete your toilet ; and trust. me that this will
give a new zes'. to your existence. A mile
of walking may be added with advantage.

Tonacco AND Instant—The following
facts have been compiled from aFr’ench pub-
licution, and are certainly startling enough
to have a restraining influence on those who
are not already confirmed tobacco users :
From 1812 to 1832, the tobacco tax in
France produced 28,000,000 francs, and the
lunatic usylums contained 8000 patients.—
'l‘he tobacco revenue has now reached 180,-
000,000 francs, while there are 44,000 paral-
yctic and lunatic pallents in the hospitals;
showing fly the incleaseof lunacy has kept.
pace with the increase of the revenue from
lobacw. These statistics, presented by M.
Jolly, to the Academy of Science, in connec-
tion with the .closing words of his speech,
contain a frightful warning to lhc sc forming
the pernicious habit of smoking, now rapidly
increasing “The ilnnu-dclate use of tobacco,
and more especially of the pipe, produces a
weakness at the brain and the spinal mar-
row, wlich causes madness.”

CAPTAIN Murmurs-I often wondered
where and when Manyal. had found the time
to cultivate his own mind, for he had but
few advantages of actual education. I sup-
pose it was from the great power and habit
of observation which he possessed that hes
learnt intl i ively. There was hardly a scien-
tific suljccl. upon whicu he was not. Well in-
formed, besides being, as all the world knows
a practically scientific unm. lhave heard
him regret. that he was not born a century
later than his time; as he considered the
world in a scientific point of view an com-
paratively in its infancy. He used to plug-ho}
sy of the great discoveries yet to be made in
steam and in electricity.- He took a’ great. in-
terest in magnetism, and in phrenology. in
both of which he was, I am sure a firm be-
flavor. He had blen told by Townshend
that he was lnmself a powerful mesmerist;
but I do not. think he ever tested his power.
There was hardly 5 Meta language of
