LIFE.
BT TIDEUTX.
Life, 'tis said, is but a vapor.
Passing quickly from our sight,
Like the little burning taper,
Giving but a moment's light.
Yes. life is short, they truly feel
Who are working for the right,
Who are striving for the weal
Of the blind, devoid of light.
Life i Oh, it is sublime to live,
Not iu letter, but in deed :
To live a life that we may give,
Patterns to the world in need.
Life is something more than living.
Something more than breathing breath :
It is doing— it is giving,
It is working until death.
Life descended down from heaven,
'Tisthe breath of God on high;
To us. from Him. 'twas lent, not given,
To improve it till we die.
We are stewards of this blessing,
Rightly let us keep the prize;
Iu the way of trutlr keep pressing,
Till we pass beyond tlie skies.
There our life will not be fleeting,
'iirne shall cease. Kternity
I'shers in the endless meeting,
Of faith, love and verity.
Christ, the Life, will be the centre
Of the life we live ahpve;
'Tis through him we hope to enter
In the gates of life and love.

TILES & SKETCHES
HOW I WAS NOT TAKEN PRISONER
'I was serving in the —<l New York
State Volunteers, in the vailey of the
Shenandoah, in the spring of 1802, and
was upon the day to which my story relates
out with a foraging party of rny own men
I am a West Virginian by birth, and
was consequently pretty, much at houie on
the ground over which we were traveling.
Our columu was advancing, and I rureiy
allowed it to go out of si.'ht. We did
not do our toraging on the rebel plan of
seizing everything on which we could lay
cur hands, whether it belonged to friend
or foe, and appropriating it by force of
arms; but went out with sizeable ro Is of
greenbacks, and paid asking prices of eve
ry bit of proveuder we brought back to
camp.
Many times on these excursions I was
tempted to renew some of my friendships
of years gone by. and drop in upon the
wayside mansions rather as a guest than a
buyer of pigs and poultry ; but, I resisted
the inclination, tor the reason that it was
bard to tell where I might find friends,
and where foes, who, though they might
be only passive ones, had it in their pow
er to make my call a very unpleasant one
This day 1 had been especially attentive
to my errand, hardly allowing myself to
look up from my bargaining with some
sable aunty or uncle, when I knew that a
pair of bright eyes were looking down
from the piazza, or female ears were listen
ing curiously, to catch any little matter
connected with the 'dieker,' that might be
of interest. With this virtuous resolve
strongly upon me, I was slightly taken
aback in the midst of my acquisition of a
dozen ducks and a few scores of eggs, the
lawful perquisities of a stout wench, by a
silvery voice that struck something of
memory calling • Captain !'
I raised my eyes to see above me, on
the balcony, Mrs. Grant Wetherbee, once
M s* Kate Corni U, and once my acme of
perfection and Virginian beauty. Five
years had gone past since I had submitted
to have my heart torn into minute shreds
by being present at the wedding where
the beautiful Kate was transformed into
Mrs. Grant Wetherbee. and yet upon the
first glance that same heart hounded with
something iiks the old love, bounded so
forcibly, indeed, that it sent me springing
from my horse and up to tie verandah
without further notice.
It is hardly necessary for me to fell ex
actly how glad wc were to meet I say
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1864.
4 we,' because I can speak confidently of
myself, and 1 am sure, it I can believe in
eyes, quite as confidently tor my tair triepd
Nothing would now do but i must enter,
and the homes of the lair ones who would
9 greet uie inside were rehearsed. A more
denying disposition than mine would have
yielded when I heard the promise of tiftd
ing in the parlors two of the most elegant
women of V irginia, firm friends of mine
iu the past.
I believe that they were sincerely glad
to see uie, and 1 will not otter an apology
for yielding to the cordial invitation, press
ed upon me, that I should spend an hour
or two with them and share, what a sol
dier has so seldom offered to him,a bounte
ous and rcfind tea tatde.
I accepted how could I help ?—alter
stepping out upon the verandah, at d send
ing my men about two miles across the
country to a mill, where they were to ob
tain some sacks ol corn, with orders, after
that to rejoin the regiment, and report me
absent until dark. The Tea was dispatch
ed, and we returned to the parlor, bu: my
fair hostess would not hear me speak of
departure yet. I must play one game of
chess ank dri k some of that superb sher
ry I was wont to praise five years before,
when it made payt of her father's cellar.
Chess and sherry with one of the most
beautiful women south ot Mason Dixon's
line I I was but a uian, arid 1 yielded,
though I knew that our line had passed on,
and I should have a hard and perhaps a
risky gallop to overtake them
The chess had avdauced hut a little way,
and I was conscious of spending one of
the happiest hours of my existence, when
the door of the room iti which we s;it was
thrown open and five gentleman in the uni
form ot officers in the Confederate service
entered. As quick as lightning I glanced
into the taces of tlie three ladies who were
my entertainers, and us quickly L became
Convinced that they were innocent. Fortu
nately I was enabled to preserve my pres
ence of mind, when Mrs. Wetherbee siid.:
' Captain Foot allow mc to present Col
Ash by,' 1 rose quietly, and taking his hand,
responded: T am happy to meet one of
whom I have heard so much '
, Then, with an introduction to the offi
eers of the party, we were seated 1 can
riot help admitting that tl ere was a mo
merit ir\ em ; raiment v, ith all The party,
and tor a mwiu • nobody >p<>ke. It requsr
ed the tic* ni women t rectify this: it
was rectified instantly and the Conversation
flowed smoothly. Our chess was dropped ;
but our sherry wa-> discussed, as well a.
but that of the war Tabooed
subject, and not one word wa- uttered upon
either side that would have led the mo-t
earelul listener u> believe that we were sol
diers wairJng against each other.
It would he useless to deny that during
this time my tuitid was running on all
things besides those upon which I was
talking. I know that 1 was Col. Ashby's
prisoner, though there was just the shad
ow of a doubt whether he meant to en
force the forfeit. I could not help steal
ing anxious glances occasionally into Mrs.
Kate's face, to see if 1 could read there
any indication of her belief, and as offen.
t saw an uncomfortable recognizance of her
position and the fear of my suspicion.
At last the time came when 1 must bring
the matter to an issue, and I rose to de
part. Whatever the end might he, 1 did
not intend that Ashby and bus friends
should see it in my face or in my manner
of taking leave that I for an instrnt
suspecief such a termination to our inter
view In fact 1 made up my mind not to
he taken without a struggle ; as it was hut
a few nights before that two of our officers
had been captured while upon a visit to
some fair ones outside our lines, and the
incident had served for some hard jokes
on the now imprisoned amorato. It yvas
well worth a bit of a flight, therefore, to
avoid not only being taken prisoner, but
being taken in so ignoble away.
I bade my fair entertainers good night,
regretting that it would he so long ere I
should see them again, and advanced to do
the same by Colonel Ashby and his friends
but found them on their feet and also
preparing to depart. I shall never forget
the minute it took us to reach the piazza,
it semed an age. 1 had picked up my
sword by the way, having unbuckled and
stood it in a corner of the room when I sat
down to chess, and grasped it tightly by
scabbard in my left hand, prepared to
use it on the slightest demonstration. My
horse stood fastened within a lew feet, and
I felt that it I once got on his back I had
no fear of the whole party.
It was just dark, and we all stood an in
stant looking out upon the landscape. Ev
ery moment I expected the words, 'Cap
tain you are my prisoner !' when I noticed
a look ot intelligence pass between the
Colonel and his adjutant. I grasped niy
swore tighter and looked in the direction
of their eyes, and with a great bound of
the heart saw my own men coming slowly
up toward the house.
Whether they were deceived and be
lieved them a squad of their own in the
dim light, or really knew what they were
and trusted to my generosity, I could not
tell, but after they had fairly emerged in
to the road I turned towards my com pan
ions and, with one glance int, their in
scrutable faces, I extended my hand to
Ashby.
' I must bid you good night, Colonel ; I
ee a file of my men coming after me, and
it might be unpleasant for you to meet
them.'
'Goodnight,' Captain—l thank you 1'
j was all the response ; and in a moment I
was on nty horse-and had joined my men,
who had returned that they might warn
me ol several wandering parties of ' r.. bs"
i they knevjt to bo out, aisd prevent me from
I being picked up
I never knew whether I Was a prisoner
that evening or not.

The Trouble in Southern Illinois—The
Facts in the Case.
We find in the detailed report, furnished
by the special correspondent of the L'hiea
go Times, some statements which throw a
good deal of light on the late outrages in
Southern Illinois. This account is present
ed under the boldly displayed headline,
'•The Bloody Responsibility rests upon the
Abolitionists."
The correspondent, it must be remem
! ber, *is giving a story as favorable as possi
ble for the copperheads, and we may take
as unquestionably true all that he admits
that tells against his own party. He com
mences by saying, the disturbance was'but
the natural and inevitable result of the
outrages which the citizens of Coles and
adjoining counties have received at the
hands of the Federal soldiers.'
The Times' correspondent, having re
ferred to the whipping of copperheads,
goes on :
i 'Among the men so beaten were some
from "OTiair's Settlement, ' who were
quite as fond of liquor as the soldiers,
; and had betrayed themselves into several
affrays with them while over their cups.
Th rse men determined to revenge them
selves upon the soldiers.'
'Last Monday was the conimemcement
of the Spring term of Court, an event
which usually brings many citizens to the
county seat. In addition to the commence
n ent of Court, it was understood that Hon
; Johq R Eden, the Democratic member of
Congress from this district, would address
! his constituents, and this would bring to
Charleston a large proportion of the Dem
norafs of the county The people at
O'Hait's Settlement, deemed that the sol
' diors would make some effort to interrupt
Eden while speaking, and conceived the
tt/eu of embroiling all the Democrats in
; attendance iu the a frag with t ! >e soldiers,
! lay resisting, by force any attempt made to
interfere with them.
'To this end some thirty or forty of
I th ent came armed, sum" with revolvers and
the remainder with shot guns and rifles
j concealed in the straw in their wagons.
They appear to have had a concerted plan
thus far, that when any shot was fired, it
| should be the signal for a general assault
upon the sobli'l's. Supposing the distur
bance would occur at a public meeting, and
that the Democrats would join them, the
! people from "OTiair's Settlement" hoped
i to overpower the soldiers without much
j difficulty '
The plan of the men from 'O'flair's
j .Settlement' was deranged hy the refusal of
the Hon. John R. Eden to speak. But
i they yet contrived to have the signal for
i the massacre given. A soldier named
Oliver Salee, who had been drinking, and
! was expressing the opinion that he could
j whip any copperhead, addressed one Nel
i sou Wells, saying 'I understand you are
a copperhead.' Here the stories vary.
One account says the soldier was good
humored in his manner, and that the reply
of Wells was a volley of oaths and the
presentation of his pistol. The Chicago
Times' story is this :
j 'Wells answered in the affirmative. Sa
lee then put his hand on Wells' shoulder,
; whether iu anger or not I have not been
able to satisfy myself. Wells drew back,
remarking, 'Don't you put your bauds on
me; if yuu do, I'll shoot you.' To which
I Salee replied that he could shoot too, or
shoot back. What transpired soon alter
; seems to have obliterated from the minds
ol witnesses what immediately followed.
What he next remembered is that, after a
lapse of time, Wells drew his pistol and
fired, at Salee is not known. In
a second or two the men from "()'Hair's
i Settlement" responded to the signal, aod
the firing became general.'
Soin this Copperhead account, we have not
j only the admission that the Copperheads
came to town for a fight, prepared for it,
with arms, and a plan, but that the frst
shot isos fred by a copperhead, and that
that was the agreed signal for a general
and murderous assault upon the soldiers,
which was made accordingly. The Times'
correspondent says:
'The soldier, Salee, fell almost at the
first volley. After he was down he drew
his revolver and shot Wells, who ran some
distance and tell dead. Major York, Sur
geon of the 54tb, in passing into the court
j riom was shot iu the shoulder, and died
a few minutes after at the side of the
Judges stand. Colonel Mitchel, who came
into the yard from the County Clerk's
office, had several hots fired at him, and
i engage J in a de-perate- h-nd t > band
struggle with a man named V .nkler Co.
> Mitchell's life wax saved by bio w&uU,
which received one bull nnd turned it
aside He was wounded slight! in the
abdomen and oil each hand, and had sev
eral holes through his clothes.'
It was not pretended that Major York
was doing anything wrong. The Times'
correspondent expressly states that he was
'courteous to his opponents anu opposed
ail outrages by soldiers ' Vet, in the af
fray commenced by copperheads, be-was
shot by one of them in the back—the pis
tol that gave his death wound burning his
coat. The copperheads, aside from being
with deadly weapons and a plan of opera
tions, had one terrible advantage over the
sol icits. Ihe cops feed ./ the Line uni
forms, while the soldiers could only tell
when they saw a man shoot at them that
he was their enemy. In this way the blue
jackets fell into a perfect ambuscade. The
wonder is that more of them were not mur
dered. and that they contrived to kill so
many ot their assailants The Times' cor
respondent. in giving a summary of the
affair, hy way of concluding his letter
says:
'Democrats here and at Charleston are
much incensed at the conduct of the men
from ''OTiair's Settlement," whocomtnen
ced and wTo alone participated iti the af
ftay They evidently came in anticipation
of a disturbance and with a preconcerted
plan as to how it should be commenced and
conducted The refusal of Mr. Eden to
speak disarranged the-'r plans somewhat,
when the trifling cause I have given above
was seized upon and made the pretext for
commencing the affray.'
Two Boys, and What Became of Them
Eugene Fydney was a fine looking, well
dressed boy, very good-natured and agree
able; he had as many friends as his fath
er's purse eould buy (atid I hey were not a
few) and he fancied he had not an enemy
in the world. lie had had great "advant
ages. He had been to an academy ever
since he could remember. His fat her paid
the teachers handsomely and made them
presents; he wanted them to make his son
a pre ent of a good education ; but you
know they eould not do that. No boy can
have learning unless he digs it out for
himself, and Eugene was like a certain
steward we read of in the Bible, 'he could
uot dig.' When he was sixteen his fath
er died, and to the surprise of every one it
turni d out that he had spent all his mon
ey; there was not a dollar left for his son.
The teachers said he was nearly fitted lor
college, but-nu a strict examination he was
found to 1 c neither fitted for that place or
any other. He did not know enough of
accounts for a hook keeper, and he could
not learn ;it made hi* head ache. Heap
plied for a country school, but the com
mittee sem him back to review t.be spell
ing book. He found a chance to carry
packages for a dry goods store, but the ex
ercise wore out his patent leather boots,
and lie had no other pair and had no mon
ey to buy them with. He found what he
called his advantages were all his enemies ;
he had had everything done for him, and
now he could not do anything for himself.
John Smith was a poor boy whose era
die was m ide at the same time his father's
coffin His mo'her brought him up as
vveil as she could but women do not under
stand such work as men ought to do
When John was sixteen he removed with
his mother to a city where work was plenty,
and very soon afterwards the mother was
taken ill and suddenly died. There was
just enough money to pay her funeral ex
penses, leaving John without a dollar, and
most people would sry without a triend
But he had excellent friends. He had
two hands, and knew how to use them,
he had a clear head, with some useful
knowledge in it, ami an honest heart, full
of hope and resolutions. He had the hah
it of living cheaply without grumbling, of
working faithfully without whining He
learned useful things every day. He did not
ask people to belp him, he helped himself
as his mother taught him. These habits
were the very best of friends. They took
care of him when his mother was gone,
they introduced him to good people who
were pleased with him, they kept close to
him all through his boyhood, and gave him
health and education and money.
When John became a uian of business
he tried to help Eugene but Eugene's hab
its were his enemies, and they grew strong
er and more unkind to him every yeaf.—
They took him away to a larger city
where there was a better chance to be nrs
erahle, and one morning he was found
dead in the gutter; one of his enemies
had knocked him down and killed him.

Earth Eating Indians.
On the hanks of the Orinoco is a small
village, picturesquely situated at the foot
of a rock named La Concepeion de Grans.
The tribe inhabiting it is called Otoaiac.
These singular people use for lood a soft,
unctuous earth, resembling the potter's
clay, and containing a stnali proportion ot
oxide iron. The good people are very
dainty in their taste, not being satisfied
with every sort of clay, hut distinguish the
taste of one from that of another. The
batiks of the Orinoco are carefully search

PUMPS. A general assortment of
Notions, Perfumery, Soaps, &c.,
and in fact everything connected with Medi
cine or Medical treatment.
Physicians' and all other prescriptions
carefully compounded and put up.
All consultations strictly confidential, and
free of charge. Any preparation or medi
cine not on hand will be immediately order*
ed. I hope that the experience of sixteen
years almost constantly engaged in the active
duties of the medical profession will be a
sufficient guarantee that no deception or
humbugs will be practiced upon those who
consult me professionally, or who desire to
purchase medicines.
