IN THE WILDERNESS. VIRGINIA.
r OROROI B. BOXER.
The incident contained in tho following poem is
narrated by a correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune,
; in a letter from the batllc-lield, dated Wilderness,
May 7th, 1S04 :J :,
Mangled, nncared for, suffering through the night,
With heavenly patience the poor boy had lain ;
Under the dreary shadows, left and right,
Groaned on the wounded, stiffened out tho slain
What faith sustained his lone
Brave heart to make no moan,
To send no cry from that blood Fprinkled sod,
Is a close mystery with him and his God.
But when the light came and the morning dew
Glittered around him like a xoldon lake.
And every dripping flower with deepened hue
Looked through its tears fur very pity a sake,
He moved his aching head
Upon its rugged bed.
And smiled, as a blue violet, virgin meek,
Laid her pure kiss upon his withered ohcek.
At once thete oircled in his waking heart
A thousand memories of distant home;
Of how those same bluo violets would start
Along his nativo fields, and some would roam
Down his dear humming brooks,
To hido in secret nooks,
And shyly met, in nodding circles swing,
Like gossips murmuring at belated Spring.
And then he thought of tho beloved hands
That with his own hud plucked the modest flower;
The blue-cyed maiden, crowned with golden bauds,
Who ruled as sorereign of that sunny hour,
She at whueu soft command
lie joined the mustering band ;
She for whose sako ho lay so firm and stilt.
Despite his pangs, nor questioned then her will.
So, lost in thought, tenrec conscious of the deed,
Culling tho violets, here and there he crept,
Slowly ah ! slowly tor his wound would bleed ;
And tha tweet fluweu themselves half smiled,
half wept.
To bo thus gathered in
By hands so pale and thin,
By fingers trembling us they neatly laid
Stem upon stem, and bound them in a braid.
Tho strangest pesy ever fashioned yet
Was clasped against tho bosom of tho lad,
As we. tho seekers of the wounded, sot
His form upon our shoulders, bowed and sad ;
TUough he but seemed to think
How violets no I nud wink ;
And as we cheered him, for the pain was wild,
lie looked upou bis flowers and smiled.

DuAiiSiu: The cholera which has just

j Ut. tin the approach of' cholera, every
f.uiiil) should he prepared to treat it w ith
j out waiting for a physician. It does its
: work so expeditiously, that while you are
wuititin for the doctor it is done. '

thoughtless indiscretion of some meniher of'

the challenge w ill never he refused. U will ,
probahly he made in the night, your pliysi-
cian has lieen called in another direction,
und you luu-tt treat the case yourself or it ,
will prove fatal. I
3d. Cisf of ultarl: I have personally ;
investigated at least a hundred cases, and
not less than three-fourths could be traced
lo improper diet, or to intoxicating drinks,
or both united. Of the remaiuder, suppressed
pi r-pirutiou would comprise a large number.
nud orudeut in his diet. lie used nothing
intoxicating. His residence was in a good
locality. I5ut after some hours of hard labor
and very profuse perspiration, he had luid
down to take his customary noon nnp, risdit
against an open window, through which a
very refreshing breeze was blowing. Alio-
ther cause is drinking largely of cold wuter :
when hot and thirsty, lireat fatigue, greut
anxiety, fright, fear, all figure among incit
ing causes.. If one can avoid all these bo is
as sufu from the cholera as from being swept
away by a comet.
4th. tiuhtptiHit of an attiiel: While chol
era is prevalent in a place, almost every one
experiences more or less disturbance of di
gestion. It is doubtless in part imaginary.
Every on notices thu slightest variation of
feeling, and this gives an importance to mere
trifles. There is ofteu a slight nausea, o,
transient paius, or rumbling sounds, w hen no
attack follows. No ono is entirely free from
these. But when a diarrhrca commences,
though painless und slight, it is lu reolity
the skirmishing party of tho advancing
column. It will have at first no single char
acteristic of tho Asiat ic cholera. But do not
be deceived. It is the cholera nevertheless.
Wuit a little, ifive it time to et a hold, say
ta ourslf. "I feel nrrfecllf well, it will pass
off," and In a abort timo you will repeut of
your folly ia vain. I havu seen many a oue
commit suicide in this way.
Sometimes, though rarely, the attack com
mences with vomiting. But iu whatever
way it commences it is sure ta bold on. Ia a
very few hours the patieut may sink Into a
cpllapse. The hands and feet become cold
and. purplish, the countenance, at first
ncrvoua and anxious, becomei gloomy and
apathetic, although a mental restlessness and
raging thirst torment the suflerer while the
powers of life are ebbing. The Intellect re
main, clear, but alt the social and moral
feelings seem wonderfully to collapse with
tut nyicaj power. Tha patient knows be

COCKSE OF TUKATMENT.
1st. For flopping the incipient diarrhma.
The mixture winch I used in 1849 with great
success, und agnin in 1855, has during this
epidemic been lined by tuousuntlri, and al
though the nttucks have been more midden
and vinlect, it hits fully established its repu
tation for cllicieticy and perfect safety. It
consUts tif c(unl parts by measure of 1.
I,u ud ii mi in nnd Spirits (if Ciimphor. 2 Tinc
ture of Hhulmrb. Thirty drops for an adult,
on a lump of augur, will often check the
diurrhu'a. But to prevent its return, caro
should be tuken to continue the medicine
every 4 hours in diminishing doses 25, 20,
15, 10, 9, when curcful diet is all that will
be needed.
In cuse the first tlocs not 6top the dinrrboji,
continue to give increasing doses, 85, 40, 45
60, at every movement of tho bowels. Large
(loses will produce no injury while tho diar
rhoea lasts. 'Whet, that is checked then is '
the time for caution. I have never seen a
cuse of the diurrheu taken iu season which
was not thus controlled, but some cases of
the advanced dinrthea, nnd especially of re
lapse, paid no attention to it whatever. As
soon as this becomes apparent,! have always j
rcsorted to this course. Prepare a tea cup
of starch boiled as for use in starehino linen,
and stir into it a full tcaqioonful of laud
anum for injection. Give one-third nt each
movement of the bowels. In one desperate
nac abandoned as hopeless by a physician,
I coul I not stop the diurrlirea until tho
seventh injection, which contained nearly a , and her precious self, so far as possible, out
teaspoonful of laudanum. The pu'ient re-! of the rays of the sun. Tho plants, in obc
covered and is in perfect health. At the dienco to natural law, are ki-pt healthy,
same lime I use prepared chalk iu 10 grain w hile the children and mother, being kept
doses, with a few drops of laudanum and , in tho shade, sutler in consequence,
camphor to each. But whatever course is , Light is beginning to lie considered a
pursued must be followed up, and the (liar- gnrni euratire agent, aud we apprehend the
rhca controlled, or the patient is lost. , time is not far distant when there will be
2d. Mustard poultices. Thi-ae should be sun-baths. Corridors with glass roofs w ill
applied to the pit of the stomach, aud kept be so adjusted that persons can properly rc-
on uu i no siirincu is wen luuui ncu.
3d. The patient, however well he may feel,
should rigidly observe perfect rest. To liu
quietly on the back is one-half the battle.
In that position Ihe enemy fires over you, but
the moment you rise you are hit.
Yhen the attack comes in the form of diar
rhea, these directions w ill enable every ono
to meet it successfully.
4th. But when the attack is more violent,
and there is vomiting, or vomiting nnd purg-
ing, perhaps also cramps and colic pains, tho
following mixture is far more effective and
should bo resorted to. The missionaries, ;
Mckst'8. Long, Trowbridge and Washbujn, j
liavo used it la very many cases anu wi:n
wonderful success. It consists of equal parts
of luudannm. tincture of capsicum, tincture
j of ginger, and tincture of cardamon seeds. .
, Dose, 80 to 40 drops, or a half teaspoonful !
in n little water, and to be increased accord- '
ing to the urgency of the case. In case tho j
! first doso should bo ejected, the second, i
t which should stand ready, should be givo '
immediately after the spasm of vomiting has j
. ceased. During this late cholera eiege no
' one nf us failed of controlling the vomiting ,
i nnd also the purging, by at most, the third i
i dose. e have, h nvever, invariably made
. nse of large mustard poultices of strong,
pure mustard, applied to the stomach, bow els,
j calves of the legs, hot, etc., as the case
: seemed to require.
CulLipse. This is simply a more advanced
: state of the disease. It indicates thu gruduul
j failing of nil the powers of life. It is dilliuult
1 to suv wbcu a cusc become hopeless. At a
certain point the body of the patient begins
to emit a ueculiar odor, which 1 call the
odor of death, for when that has become !
decided and unmistakable, I 'nave never j
known the patient to recover. I have re-
peatedly worked upon such cues for hours !
with no permanent result. But the blue j
Color, the cold extremities, the deeply-sunk
eye, the vuuiahing pulseare no signs that the i
case is hopeless. Scores of such eases iu the j
recent epidemic have recovered. In addition !
to tlie second mixture, urmuty (a tablespoon-
ful everv half hour.) bottles ot hot water
surrounding the patient, especially the ex
tremities, sinopsiaui and friction, will often
in un hour or two work wonders.
Third. In these und in all advanced eases
thirst creates iutetise suffering. The bUtlVrer
; craves wuter, und us suio us he gratilies the
i craving the worse symptoms return, und he
fulls a viiit uu to the transient grut'ilimlioii.
: The only nd'u way is to have a faithful friend
! or attendant who will not heed hibeuteealies.
The gutfering may be, however, safely allevi
ated and rendered endurable. Frequent
gargling the throat and washing out the
j mouth will bring some relief. A spoonful
of gumatabic water, or of chamomile tea
muv treovenllv lie triven to wet tne inroai,
a large majority it has been intense for moru
than twenty-lour hour.
Ditt. Rice w ater, arrow-root, Lyndenhum's
White Decoction, crust water, chamomile,
tea, are tho best articles fur it day or two
after the attack in coutrolled. Chumouiile
is very valuable- in restoring thu tone of thu
stomach.
The Typhoid IXter. A typhoid state for
a few days will follow all severe cases. There
is nothing alarming in this. It has very
lately proved fatal. Patience and careful
nursing will briug it all right. The greatest
(lunger is from drinking too freely. When
Ihe patient seemed to be sinking, a little
brandy and water or arrow-root and brandy
revived him. In this terrible visitation of
the cholera, we have considered ourselves
perfectly armed and equipped, with a hand
bag coutuitiing mixture No. 1, mixture No. '2
(,1'or vomiting etc,,) a few pounds ot pounded
mustard, a bottle of braudy, and a pound of
chamomile tlowers, aud a paper of gum
arabic, I lay no claim to originality in recom
mending this course of treatmeut. I have
adopted it from suggestions of able and ex
perienced phyaicjaus. Having been tho ouly
doctor of tuuny poor families living near me,
1 have tried various remedies recommended
by physicians, but I bave found none to be
at all "compared with the above. During tho
recent cholera, I cannot fiud that any treat
ment boa beeu so successful as this.
ConUviion, The idea of oontugion should
bo abandoned. All the missionaries who
have been most with the maliguant cases
day after day, are fully convinced of the non
contagiousness of the cholera. Tho incipient
attacks, which all bave suffered from, are to
be attributed to great fatigue, making the
constitution liablu to an attack.

We build our houses, to be sure, with a

How aoleou bceninc I'rchideut.
There is no character in modem or
nn-
cient history more curious than that of the
present Emperor of the French. Just now
c
when his relations with Mexico bring
him so prominently to our notice, it may be
of interest to glance at some of the earlier
events of his career.
Prince Louis Napoleon, as lie used to be
called the son of I.ouis Bonaparte, King of
Holland, and Ilortense, the daughter of the
Empress Josephine had always been a
schemer. He hud indulged from his boy-
hood in dreams of empire. Heing according
to statute, the heir of his uncle, the first
great Napoleon, he was driven by tho very
c.xingcnc'iea of his inheritance into contri
vances to obtain tho Bitpteuie power over
France, which ho w ithout doubt persuaded
himself was his right. Through long, silent
years he studied, until he became learned in
jujsprudence. He knew well how to veil
Ids designs by high souuding talk about
freedom and honor, and lovulty to the will
of the manv. Slid for a lone time he was
not appreciated or considered a personage
ot much importance. It was, indeed, rather
the fashion to luugh at him, and to regard
him as harmless, because ot sheer want ot
capacity to do great things.
His attemtiU to rousu the enthusiasm of
the French people, in 1830, covered him
still more w ith ridicule. He presented him
self before tho army wearing the clothes of
the tirst Napoleou, and conscious that iu
point of hat, coat and boots lie resembled
perfectly the hero of AlisterliU, lie imagined
himself secure nf welcome from the troops.
He was utterly quenched, however, by
certain resolute Colonel Taldier, and was
shipped off to Auurioa by a gocd-natured
King of the French, Louis rtulippe.
In 1840 ha made another attempt, this
time onrrvitlP" withekim a tame taale, which
he hud tuttglit to perform some exploit that
he trusted the people would resolve as an
omeu. Tho eagle lulled Umentably in its
m-ooTamiiie : and acain a firm, resolute offi
cer forced his way to the theatre of action
a barrack yard and disposed of the Prince,
his titty armed followers, m nag, ms tugic,
and his counterfeit staff, with as much euse
as though he had been dealing with a band
of strolling players. This timo tlie would
be Emperor wus tried for treason, und
suuteticud to perpetual imprisonment in the
fortress of Ham, from which he escaped, six
years afterw ards, iu the gurb cf a workmau,
and went to Eugland.
Ho took advantage of the revolution of
1848, in which King Louis Philippe was
deposod, to return to France. "The
third time wius," says the old proverb, and
this third time he found more fuvor in the
eyes of his country. He was choseu a
deputy to tho National Assembly. Lamar
tine, always opposed to the Bonaparte
dvnasty, endeavored to effect bis bauishuicnt,
but was uiibuccesatui; aua auer a eimuij no
bate, the Priuce, at this time forty years old,
wa found to be the most popular candidate.
The election wa conducted with perfect
fairness: the Prince became President, and
perhaps, as be bad already wade two at
tempts on tho tbrona of France, be baa
some right to infer that the millions of
citizen who elected blw i as Presidency were

AGRICULTURAL, &C,
Hints on Sowiko Vegetable asd
Fxoweh Seeds. Tho first error committed
by novices in the gardening line, is sowing
too early in the Spring, before the ground
is warm enough. Seeds often have an un
certain or indelinatc existence in the soil, a
sort of go-between the vegetating and de
coying process, and 24 hours of warm sun
shine or cold raius often decides their suc
cess cr failure. Some varieties are much
hardier than others, a Qtui covering or other
provision resisting decay, wliile others easily
succumb; hence the need of discretion, or
varying the time of souring, such seeds as
spinach, radishes, lettuce, onions, beets, to.
mattoes, peas, etc., will bear putting in
early, while tho more delicate bean, corn,
egg-plant and melon should bo plauted
later. Another mistake is in covering ton
deep, thus placing the seeds below tho
warm sunshine, and giving them a deal of
trouble to force their way up through a,
packed soil. An old rule is to cover each
variety with its own thickness of earth.
This is too shallow, unless the soil is firmly
pressed upon the seed, but J inch is suffi
cient for all the small seeds. It is much
better to cover lightly and press the soil
down with tlie foot, a board or roller, than
to cover deeper and leave the surface rough,
to dry up in tho sun and wind. Covered
shallow and rough, fully half the seeds will
dty up before vegetating. Seedsmen often
come in tor a share ot unnecessary abusu
by those who sow out of season, cover ton
deep, or leave an uneven surface, which
soon hecames toe drv for vegetation. Thero
U very little gained by sowing early, even
ii thp seeds do bsrely vegetate. They have
weak, sickly look, and it is not until
settled warm weather thut they become
healthly, nnd even then are often stunted in
their growth and outstripped by a mors
vigorous out utter plant,

To Make Ginger Beeu. Two gallons of

t wo gallons of cold water into a pot upon
the tire; add to it two ounces of good gin

sugar. Let all this come to a boil, aud con
tiuuu boiling for half an hour. Then skim
the liquor, and pour it into a jar or tub,
ulong with oue sliced lemon, and half an
.ounce of cream of tartar. When nearly cold,
put iu a teacupfull of yeast, to cause tha
liquor to work. Tlie beer is now made :
and after it is worked for two days, strain
aud bottle it for use. Tiu tbe corks down

SpitrcK Beer. Two quarts of boiling
hot water; tight quarts ot cold water. In
the hot water add twenty-five drops each of
the oils of spruce, sassafras, nnd winter
green ; ttree cents' worth of yeast ; three
pints of molasses; mix it and let it stand
all day, then bottle it. Put the molasses in
the cold water after the oils are all well
mixed iu thu hot water; add all to tha
sweetened water ; last of all add tha yeast.
If made in tho morning it muat be bottled
at night. Half a goblet of dock root boiled
iu the water is heullby.
Savino Soap Gkeasb and Making it
Tjr. In order to keep Soap grease clean and
sweet during summer, run off some lye, and
boil it down until it will eat a feather if put
into it. Then put it away in an iron or
other vessel, ami throw your meat rinds and
scraps therin. When you make yout soap,
boil down lye as before, put it iuto an iron
kettle, and this grease w ith other, if you
bave it, and let it boil, and stir occasionally.
In order to test the proportions of grsaso
and lyo, take some out into a disb, lot it
