Sonic are cool, determined and courageous; some lose all judgment, and will single= -banded, rush upon hundreds; others are entirely unmanned, tremble like aspens, seem dead to every emotion of honor or feeling of shame, and will slink into cov erts or run from the field. Lord Forth, in the Crimean war, is an instance. If skirmishers engage prior to a general bat tle,-.and _a desultory fire..is kept up for awhile, one becomes used to it, and, as the battle warns, it frequently becomes exciting, and men that tremble at the first few shots now rush on like heroes. I re member well my feelings during the first battle in which I was engaged. The night before we received orders to pre pare to attack the _enemy early on the morrow. 1. ID P. M , All was now_hurry,.bustle and anxiety. Guns were cleaned, ammunition inspected, straps adjusted, canteens He'd, knapsacks lightened, letters written. We had sever al men in our company who had always booked of their bravery and prowess— men who had been " spoiling for a fight," they said. _These,; were,,qoW._ still, as I mice; theyol: - e Ortite . m, who lad taken a -master's degree in all kicds of profanity, now borrowed a Bible, sat down and rend it for some time, and intimated to his mess-mates the propriety of praying before going to sleep that night. It is not your blustering, profine bravado that is the brave man on the field of bat tle—it is your patient, retiring men. I confess a feeling of dread and anxiety stole over me. Battle was certain, the enemy was strongly posted, and we had desperate work before us. I wanted_ to go into battle, yet I dreaded it like death. I slept but little that night. The morn ing - came, and our columns Moved quietly and sternly forward through a wood. The first 'intimation we had of the enemy was the skirmishing between his out-posts and our van-,gitard, the former falling back as the latter advanced. We passed out of the wood and - rapidly deployed into line I of battle, a•general sloping hill hiding the enemy from our view , . A part of our force had been sent round to make a flank and rear attack on the enemy, and while so doing it was of the utmost import:nice that we should hold his attention in the front. We marched steadily up the hill till the whole, line of the enemy burst upon our view; there we halted, and for some urinates not a -gun was fired on either side. . There stood the two armies, each wait ing for the other to begin the work of death. The faces of our men looked pale and determined ; some of them looked like statues, others nervous and uneasy. It was the time to test their courage. A line of cannon was bearing directly upon us. Death to manyof us was 'certain. Who will it be? thought . I. A singular feeling came over me, a confused image of a mother and sister appeared flitting and floating before my imagination like dissolving shadows, while the tremendous reality in front oppressed me with dread ful forebodinzs. A few moments passed, like. those that intervene between drawing the cap over the criminal's face and letting fitli the trap, when a puff of smoke shot Ent from one of the cannon, followed •by a c rash, and a shell went screaming 'over us. Our men ducked their heads like geese: Fire was now opened on us along the enemy's entire line. Their first shots were aimed too high. They gradually lowered them. Every discharge brought their balls fear fully nearer. We'were impatient to re turn the fire, but dare not till the com mand was given. Our Colonel passed along in front of the dine and urged us to stand firm till the proper time, and the day would be ours. It is a task to hold men exposed to an enemy's fire without allowing them to return it. They will soon run one way or the other. ' • The enemy's shot began to howl around us, plough through our ranks, and tear up the earth about our feet. A six•pound ball cut off the bayonet of my messmate on my-left; a moment more acid one struck him in the breast, severing him almost in twain. The hot blood from his heart spirted full in my face. great God, how I felt ! A faint sickening sensation came over me. - He-smiled faintly-, spoke my name, gasped and expired. He was frightfully mangled. I was maddened to desperation. All thoughts of fear vanish ed; I could have fought thousands. The command of " Fire!" ran along the line. and a tremendous crash of musketry an swered the command. We now loaded and fired for dear life. Dense voluuMs of sulphurous smoke hung like a pall over us, and shut out the enemy from our sight. The battle grew warm and bloodly. The rattle of musketry, the screaming- of shells, the thunder of artil lery, the whistling of bullets; the shouts of command nommingled witheurses t prayeri and gidans of the wounded and dying:, filled the air. Our ,men, black with : smoke and powder, .looked— like fiendinearnate, as they plied" their work of death. At length a breeze rolled away. the smoke that shrouded us, and disclos ed our other columns bearing down upon" the enemy's flank. Now was the decisil;e moment. " Charge bayonets I" rang out, and with loud shouts we rushed forward tO the assault. A storm of grape and canister was hurled against us as we near ed the batteries. Like maddened tigers desperate. It was . a butchery, savage in the extreme. The enemy soon broke and fled,' leaving us masters of the field. Since that time I have not felt the least dread or hesitation on, entering n battle. After the first few shots I fired away as coolly as when hunting squirrels. . The ...Final Charge 141Waferloo: I The e cavalry and infantry repeatedly ' charged in masses, under cover of a.tre mendous fire from MO pieces of artillery. Four times were our guns in possession of their cavalry; and as often did the baYo nets of our infantry rescue theta. For upwards of an hour our little sytares,were surrounded by the elite of the French cavalier -1p they gallantly stood within for ty paces of us, unable to leap over the bristling line of bayonets ; unwilling to re• tire, and determined never to surrender. Hundreds of them were dropping in all directions from our murderous fire; yet as ling as they dropped, others came to supply their places. Finding, at last, that it was in vain to attenV to break our de termined ranks, they swept round our rear. and rushing into the Nivafies road. and attempted to cut their way back to their own lines; hut the whole road was lined with our infantry on both sides, and at the advanced part of it was an impas: ' sable barribade of felled trees. Hers fell the remainder of these gallant cuirassiers of whom not one was taken without a wound. The cannonade was, continued without intermission ;,and about six o'- clock, we saw, heavy columns of infantry supported by dragoons returning for a fresh attack. It was evident that it would be a desperate one,, and, we thought,' a decisive one. Every one felt how much depended on this terrible moment. A black mass of grenadiers of- the Imperial -Guard, with music playing and the Great Napoleon at their head, came rolling on ward from the forum Of La Belle Alli ance. With rapid pace they descended. Those spaces in our lines which death had opened, and left vacant, were covered with bodies of cavalry.. The point at which the many aimed was now evident: it was an angle formed by a brigade of- Guards, and the light brigade of Lord Hill's . cerpS. Lord AIM was there in. person. The French moved on with arias sloped an pas de charge (double march). They be; gau to ascend the hill. Iu a few seconds I they were within a hundred- paces of -us, and as yet not a shot had been fired. The awful moment was now at hand.

Still they stood firm—" the Old Una pd (lies, but does not yield !" Per half an hour this horrible butchery continued. At last, seeing all their efforts vain. all their courage use less, unsupported by their 'comrades who were already beaten, the hitherto invinci ble Old Guard gave way and fled in every direction. One spontaneous and almost painfully aniniated " Uurrah 1" burst Prow the- vie. torious ranks of -England. The line at once advanced; generals, officers, soldiers, all partaking in one common ' enthusiasm. The battle was over. Guns, prisoners, ammunition, wagons, baggage, horses, suc cessively fell into our hands. Night and fatigue compelled us"to halt. We halted ou each side of the Geunappe road, and in a short time numerous columns of Prussians came pourin along in pursuit of the enemy. Each b.ttaliou, ehZered us in passing. The Mil ceig saluted, and many embraced us. Never was witnessed a inure enthusiastic moment. We felt amply remunerated for the exertions ,of the day. The Prussians continued the pursuit without interruption. Lord Hill and stall" retired to a small cottage where we - now are. We have but one room be tween nine of us, including his Lordship.

The Cincinnati Gazette says of :I:e new method of raising steam : " The advant ages of this arrangement are so obvious that it seems a1m0...t superfluous to speak of them-yet we cannot resist. pointing out a few of thein. I"rst, we have the econ• only of be fuel itself, twenty dollars worth of petroleum being equal to fifty dollars worth of coal. Then, there is the econo my of weight and space, which is as one to ten. In addition to this, we have the. saving of wages of firemen andeoalheavers, the saving of time in taking the fuel on board, and above alt-the perfect control of the engineer over the fire, and complete absence of danger from sparks. The ex plosive qualities of petroleum harp hitherto been the great bugbear by which our enterprising steamboat builders and machinists have been scared off. We are not at all surprised at this, for steam itself had to •struggle hard ere it could Assert its - supremacy over every other power in use, and we Thel satisfied that coal will give way to petroleum as the tow path gave way tsi the railway."

God With Man We clip- the following from the address .of Mr; Bancroft; delivered, at the semi an nual Centennial' celebration of the New' York historical Society : • - • • • "Ir events do, 'as I believe, correspond to the Divine - idea, if God is the fountain of all goodrresS,: the inspirer eetrue affec tion, the 'sbureeof all intelligence, there' is nothing' of 'S6 great inonient to the race as the 'conception. of his exiitenee m and true apprehensij?nOthjs_re4tioes to man must,constitute„ turning point.in ,the progress of the world. And it .has been so. A better. knowledge of his nature, is the dividing line, that separt!tes_armient history from modern, the old time : Trona, the new. The thought of the Divine.uni, ty us an absolute cause, was familiar to an tiquity; ;but the undivided testimony,of the records of all cultivated nations, shows that it took: no hold of the popular affec tions. Philosophers might conceive-this Divine unity as purest action, unmixed with matter; as fate, holding the universe in its invincible, unrelenting grasp; as' reason; - going forth to the work of crea tion ; as the primal source of the ideal architypes, according to which the world was fashioned; as boundless power, care lets of boundless existence; as the infin ite one slumbering unconsciously in the in finite all. Nothing of this could take hold of the common mind, or make peor and Bahian' L'orsake their temples dint, or throw down the altars-of superstition. For the regeneration of the World, it was reqUisite that the Divine Being should enter into' the abodes and the hearts of men, and dwell there,' that an idea of Him should ariseovh ich should include all truth respecting His essence; that he shoUld be known not only as ab abstract and abso: lute cause, but as a pert Being, from whose perfect nature OW Universe is an effluence; not as a ,distant 'Providence pf, infinite power; and uncertain or inactive will, bat as God present in the flesh; not as an absolute lawgiver, holding the ma terial world, and all moral and intelligent existence, in the chains of necessity, but as a creative spirit, indwelling in man, his fellow worker and guide. . , When the Divine being was thus pre 7 m sented to the soul, he touched at once man's aspirations, affections and intelli gence; and faith in him sunk into the in most heart of, humanity. In vain did the proud and ambitious Arius seek to over lay spiritual truth with the fabulous con ceptions of heathenism, to paganize Chris tianity, and to subordinate its , enfranchiv ing power to false worship and to despot ism. Reason asserted its right of suprem acy, and the -party of superstition was driven:from the field. Then Mooned Ash. tareth was eclipsed, and Osiris was seen no more in Memphian Grove; tinktm might have been heard the crash of the falling -temples of polytheism, and instead of them came that harm.my which holds Heaven and Earth. in happiest union. Amidst all the deep sorrows of human ity during the sad conflict which was pro: tracted through centuries for the over throw of the past, and the reconstruction of society, the idea of an incarnate God --carried peaceinto-the..,besmaum-maf mwemh-inci. That faith emancipated timeshare, redeemed the captive, elevated the low, lifted up the Oppressed, consoled the wretched, inspired alike the heroes of thought and the count . less masses. The down-trodden nations clung to ft as to the certainty of their future emancipation; and it so filled the heart of the greatest poet of the middle ages, per haps the greatest poet of all time, that he had no prayer so earnest 'as to behold in the profound and clear substance of the eternal light, that circling of reflected light, which showed the image of man. From the time that this truth of the Triune God was clearly announced, he was no longer dimly conceived as a remote and shadowy casualty, but appeared as all that is good and beautiful aud true; as good ness itself incarnate and interceding, re deeming and inspiring, the union of lib crtyr love and light; the infinite cause the, infinite mediator, the infinite in and with the universe, as the paraclete and the com forter. The doctrimN once communicated to man was ineradicable. It spread as widely, as swiftly, and as silently ,as light, and the idea of God with us throb, and dwells in every system of thought that can pretend to vitality—in ,every oppressed nation whose struggles to be free have the promise of success, in . every soul that sighs joy redemption." .Gen. Phil. Sheridan. Philip EL Sheridan was born at the City of Albany, State of New York, in February, 1831.- His parents are natives of Ireland, - County of Kerry. Their oldest child Patrick, was also born in Ire land. About the year 1.829.- - john Sher idan and wife, with their first born, bid farewell to their native land and came to America, their adopted and chosen home. They first located in Albany, New York, where, as before stated, Phil. Sheridan was born. They resided there about five years, While Phil. was very young, his parents - removed to Somerset, Perry County, Ohio. The parents were in quite limited circumstances, and Phil's early experience was that of other boys simi larly situated. When the turnpike was being built through Somerset, Phil's father used to own and drive a cart. Men of Phil's age tell us that they have often seen him hanging on his father's cart, and once in a while, when ho would get to drive, he would be highly delighted. Phil must have been regarded as a very honest boy, for while rely young in years, he was taken by John Talbot, a hardware merchant, to serve in his store, He serv ed satisfactorily ;About two years. After leaving Mr. Talbot, the subject of our sketch went to - stand iu the store of D. Whitehead, a duet goodsmerchant of Somerset. Here we believe he remained until he was appointed a cadet at West Point. Gea. Thomas Ritchie. a farmer living five miles earl of Somerset, has been elected to Congress for the diStriet com posed of Perry, Morgan, and Washington: Mr. Ritchie was a good judge of a char-, actor. He was acquainted with young Shcridau, took a fancy to hiut,,and pro posed to send him to West Point. •Young Sheridan was willing, - and his Parents agreed to it.

The wothan was asleep. What to do was _the question of terciblo import recommended to the watchers. The woman was weak- from illness, and any sudden ex`citement would surely kill her. It was therefore thought unsafe to attack the snake while - she was asleep, because an excitement would thereby be communi cated to her system. which might prove fatal; while, for a like reason, it was• thought equally unsafe to wake her up to a realization of the danger menacing her. The question, in all its terrible' bearings, was discussed by the watchers in a moment, while their blood ran cold, and it was decided to maintain a masterly inactivity. If the woman remained asleep and motion less, she might escape. There was a chance that the reptile might withdraw, without doing any harm. After a few minutes, which seemed like hour to the lookers-on, the slimy thing moved, first one fold, then another—it slid from the bed' to the floor—it crawled rapidly through the room and ball. and out into the garden. It' was then killed.• The woman - slept calmly throUghont the trying,cent, and Was spared an-experience the mere recital whereof is enough to check and cause the blood to curdle.--Alleglteaiun. Drunk. Young man, did you ever stop to think how terrible that word sounds ? Did you ever think what misery and woe you brought upon your friends, when you degraded your manhood by getting drunk? Oh, it is a fearful thing thus to fiample under foot the high claims that God and man have upon you. Drunk !. How it rings in the cars of a loving wife ! How it makes the heart of a fond mother bleed ! .How it crushes out the hopes of a doting father, and brings reproach and shame upon loving sisters. Drunk See him as he leans against some friendly house, lie stands ready to fall into the opening jaws of hell, unconscious as to his approaching fate. The wife, with tearful eyes and aching heart., sits at the window to hear her husband's footsteps—but alas, they come not ' He is drunk! The husband, the parent, is drunk—spending his time and money, when he should be at home, enjoying the comforts and pleasures of the family circle. Drunk! He is spending the means of support for liquor, while his family is starving fur bread, his children 'suiferingfor clotbing. Drunk! His reputa tion is going, - gone ! His friends, one by one are reluctantly leaving him to his mis erable fate. He goes down to his grave " unhouored and unsung." Drunk ! - Omaha. Omaha, Nebraska, is a.eity that is in despair. It wants laboriiig men and cannot get them. The Omaha Republi can of august 23, speaking of the labor market in that city, says: "Of clerks, salesmen, lawyers, doctors, we have any quantity; iu fact more than we have really any need of; but laborers, stone-cutters, masons and plasterers we are sadly defi cient in..

'There is no safe way to get rid of them, except to use soap where it can he used, and give the other places a good look every few days, except in cold weather, and give them no time to lay their eggs, for noth ing.will prevent their hatching except a coat of varnish, and prevention, is better than cure.' -I known pious old. lady who always declared that " none but a lazy, slovenly housekeeper ever had bed bugs in her house." It was part Of her - piety - s! to see that the sleep of her householclivas never disturbed by bed bugs; or the fear of them. It was a part of her Sunday religion and Sunday service to look for beebuos, if she hid not had time through the week, for no week was allowed to pass and leave that duty undone, except in frosty weather. She lived up to the creed, that "cleanliness is next to Godliness." Let no housekeeper suppose that even the servants' beds can have bed bugs in, with out havingthem scattered and sifted all over the house, even though they are not ay.are of it. If servants were always truthful, it might do to trust their word, that they tend to such things ; but it is not well to let household comforts rest on their word,ivithout care to see there is truth in it. A decent woman would be horrified at the thought that others thought her lousy - , but the next thing-to it is liar ing bed bugs in her house, when so little vigilance can prevent it. Diann suppose that if poison keeps them off the bed• ' steads, it kills them or drives them out of the house. but experience and observation have taught that it is a great mistake. Nature evidently meant that human b e - . jugs should get out of work, or she never ! would have made so many things to lo•tk after and contend with; though men try ' to limit their work to a few 'hours a d .y. which is a questionable benefit to most of them, giving more time for Satan to tentia ! them to sin and spend their wages in ill tt which profiteth them not.
