In July, oils or two instances of true typhus .s ero recorded. In August, eight cases occurred. in September, upwards of forty were registered; in October, fifty-one. Now the number has reached, if not exceeded, one hundred and forty. It is evident from the figures, that the activity of the disease is steadily becoming greater and its sphere of action wic?- er; and sooner or later the time must come, if human help be power less, or too long delayed to stave off the disaster, when, from the :lure re sults of inanition, the famine-strick en population will become as apt to receive and propagate the deadly in fection as tinder to receive and prop agate flame. lOWA very talkative person, who had wearied the temper. of Mr. Abern ethy, who was at all times impatient of gabble, was told by him, the first moment he could get a chance of speaking, to be good enough to put out her tongue. "Now, pray, mad am," said.he, playfully, "keep it out." The hint was taken. He rarely met with his match ; but on one occasion he fairly owned that be had. He was sent for by an innkeeper, who had had a quarrel with his wife, and who bad scratched his face with her nails, so that the poor man was bleeding and much disfigured. Mr. Abernethy consilered this an' oppor tunity not to be lost for admonishing the offender, and said : "Madam, are you not ashamed of yourself, to treat your husband thus—the husband, who is the bead of alk—your bead, madam, in fact." "Well, doctor," fiercely retorted the virago, "and may I not scratch my own bead ?" Upon this her friendly adviser, after giving directions for the benefit of the patient, turned upon his keel and confessed himself beaten for once. = ar An old Scotch minister was often obliged to avail himself of the aid of probationers.

All wool growers and their neighbors are fully ware that at present prices, few if Ly other branches of agricultural dustry are more remunerative he unprecedented demand for wool goods consequent upon the neces ies the immense armies now in ke field and being raised, is still fur .er enhanced by the scarcity of cot: m, which brings woolen fabrics in more general use. How long this .ceptional state of things may c•on nue, it is impossible to predict with but there is good reason suppose. that even if the long shed for peace should be proclaim . within the next six months, the mand for woolens will almost c•er- inly be such as to give a paying re turn for investment, in sheep. Ore fact alone speaks volumes in favor of sheep raising. There has been im ported into the United States from foreign countries, wool and woolen goods to the average amount of $35,- 000,000, to $-1 )00,000 for the last three years; equivalent to the yield of at least 13,000,000 sheep. It is stated by Daniel Needham of the Vermont Wool-Growers' CoLvention. that the average annual increase of population in this country requires the wool of 3,000.000, sheep. If These figures be only approximately correct, they demonstrate the slight danger of an overstock of sheep for many years to come. The present and prospective high tariff will keep up the price of American wool to much higher figures than have pre vailed hitherto. The scarcity of mutton has, as would be expected, been aggravated by the rise in wool. We say aifgra vated, because year by year betiire the breaking out of the war, it had been more and more difficult to pro cure a supply of good mutton at rea sonable prices. At present this ar ticle is one of the luxuries. Very wisely tew care to sell when pros pects or keeping are so good. Even if the wool market should return to its ordinary level, or below it. there is abundant encouragement for sheep raising. Of course, each must be governed by the circumstances of his locality, both in deciding to invest in sheep, and also as to the best breeds. Thus, the average cost per head per annum, of keeping sheep is estima ted as fullows : In Illinois die. ; Inwa, 75c. ; Miehigan, Sae, ; 50c. ; Maine, $1 ; Califorhia, 75c. ; Verinottt, 81:30. In Vermont, alter trying almost every breect, the majority of teool growers give the preference to the Spanish Merino. as yielding the lar. gest, return for wool. Where mut ton is the principal object, as in the largo cities. larger middle wool breeds, like the Southdown, are pref . - erable. The hitter breed probably combine the desiderata of both wool and mutton in a higher degree than any other raised in this country.— With the additional security which the tax upon dogs will give, we may safely say the prospects of the: sheep interest in this country are better than before. A word to the wise is sufficient. AN AFFECTING INCIDENT. An Oberlin College student, now Lieutenant in the 105th Ohio Volun teers, writes as follows from Mun fordsville, Ky., the last of October : Arriving the day after the battle, I found seven of my company in camp. The rest were killeu, wound ed, or scattered. Of the six hundred of the 105th who went into the en gagement, one hundred and seventy three were killed or wounded. On the 10th inst. I helped bury the dead from our regiment. Among • the forty-two we buried, I recognized many who seemed near and dear to me. One had been struck in the face by a shall ; there it burst, blowing off his face altogether, and the inner por tions of his head through the back part of it. His right hand was blown off at the wrist ; his left arm badly mangled between the shoulder and elbow, mostly blown away from the elbow to the wrist, and the hand just hanging to the poor boy by one or two tendons. My mind was filled with anxious thoughts for my brother, who was in the same company withi me, and was still missing since the battle.— Upon examination, some envelopes were tbund in this poor fellow's pock ets, directed to my brother ! Here, then, lay my brother, without any doubt ! A terrible sensation passed over me. 1 sat by him for some time in great agony of mind. We had gone into the company together to share each other's joys and sor rows : now he was gone forever.-- Finally, looking around me upon the scattered slain, I said to myself.— This is not the place fur man to weep Take.thou, 0 God of battles, the sac rifice I make. Here are forty-two of the 105th slain in defending the right. Ail these we surrender up to thee! I clipped a lock of my brother's hair as a parting token. Then with my own baud el dig his grave, wrapped kink is his bisuamt, corved his DEMO upon an oak board, and iskking ue m. samminamai asw kmoistaralii , A NOBLE BOY.

A little drummer boy in one of our reg iment..., who 'Lid become a great favorite with many of- the /officers, by his unremit ting good nature, happened, on one occa sion, to be in the officer's tent when the bane of the soldier's life was passed around. A captain handed a glass to the little tel , low, but he refused it. saying, am a ca det of intemperance, and do not taste strong drink." "But you must take some now. T insist on it. You belong to our tne,-e to day, and cannot refuse." Still the boy stood firm on the rock of total abstitience, and held fast to his.nteg- OM The captain, turning to the Major, said: "I.l is afraid to drink ; he will never wake a soldier." •` how is this?" said the major, play fully ; and then assuming another tone, added—'• I command you to take a drink, and you kuovi it is death to disobey or ders." The little hero, raising his young form to its full height, and fixing his clear blue eyes, lit up with unusual brilliancy, on the titee of the officer, said— " Sir, my father died a drunkard ; and when I entered the artily I promised my dear mother, on my betided knees, that by the help of God 1 would not taste a drop of rum, and I mean to keep my promise. I ant sorry to disobey your orders ; but I would rather suffer,• than disgrace my mother, and break my...temperance pledge." That major and his associates are still in the army, but the little drummer boy is a wounded sufferer in the hospital at West Philadelphia.—.S. S. Tones. A Singular Case of Nervous Sympat y. A singular story is related of an oc currence in a cotton mill in Lanca shire, in 1781. A girl put a mouse into the bosom of another girl who had a great dread of mice. She was instantly thrown into convulsions, which lasted 24 hours. The next day ti ree more girls were thrown into similar ‘:.onvulsions, and the fol lowing, day six more. A physician was sent for, but beb,re he ;a rrived twenty-three girls had been seized in the same way, and one man who had been employed in holding them during the first. TLe work in the factory was stopped, and 'the idea prevailed that sumo disease had been introduced by a bag of cotton which bad recently- been opened. This con viction spread through the country, and three mole factories, limr or five miles distant were infected although the workers in them had never seen any of the original patients, but, like them, were impressed with the be lief that the plague had been caught froth the cotton. The convulsions were so violent as to require four or five persons to pre vent the sufferers from dashing their heads against the wall. The doctor bethougut him of trying the effects of electric shocks, and the application was unifbrthly successful. As soon as a few had been relieved and the disorder was thus shown to be a nerv ous affection easily cured, and not in troduced by the cotton, no flesh ease oecured.--Mental Lpidentie" in Fra zer's Magazine. Good Receipt for Keeping Sober. In the rural district in the North of England, the following dialogue lately took place between a friend and a shoemaker who bad signed the temperance pledge , •Well, William, how are you ? "0, pretty well. 1 had only eighteen pence and an old hen when I signed, and a few old sciTes ; but now I have about ten pounds the bank, and thy wife and 1 have lived through the summer without getting into debt. But as lam only thirty weeks old yet (so he styled himself;) 1 cannot be so strong yet, my friend." 'flow is it you never signed be fore?" ••! did sign ; but I keep it different now to what I did before, friend?" "How is this?" "Why, I yae doon on my knees and pray!"

A letter in the Athenaeum, dated Na ples, October 18, mentions some interest ) ing discoveries at Pompeii, The writer says: "In an extreme corner of all inner room of a small and apparently poor house, have been discovered some human bones—a rare thing in Pompeii, where most of the population had time to escape. Further researches—and it was interest ing to observe with what extreme care and delicacy they were conducted—revealed yet others, until the skeletons of five per sons were visible—four women and an in fant, all crouched up in a corner. The sex and age of the v;ctims, and the very form in which they were found are sugges tive of incidents and sufferings which would promise materials fur an affecting tale. The arms seem to have been clasp ed as if all hope h d been abandoned, and they had come there to die, while the legs were doubled up with the agony of their sufferings. The month of one skeleton was open, distended, and hard must have been the last expiring efforts of that poor person. The infant was in the extreme corner, where a mother's love, perhaps, had placed it, in the- hope of its there find ing greater protection from the storm of ashes which was raging around tl em, and penetrating into the most secret recesses of every building. Poor, helpless women ! they were too weak or too feeble to escape, and had been abandoned by husband, fath er, brother—by every male friend.—•~ There were bronze armlets or bracelets round their fleshless bones ; and by the side of them lay what were evidently the remains of a purse, in which had been in closed twenty silver Roman coins and two copper coins. Of course the material of the purse was imperfect, and vas reduced to mere tinder; still the texture was per ceptible, and (hie, it was which contained the hurried gleanings of the unhappy par ty. There were considerable traces of cloth, too, in the ashes, all around the bodies or skeletons—that is to say, on the ashes there were impressions as of cloth which had been laid over them and expo sed to the fire. The probability appeared to be that they were the clothes of the wretched fugitives, for there were impres sions, as it were, of folds." THOUGHT E33Elrm TO HEIL TH "If we would have our bodies healthy our brains must be used, and used in orderly and vigorous ways, that the life-giving streams of force may flow from them into the expect ant organs, which minister but as they are ministered unto. We ad mire the vigorous animal life of the Greeks, and with justice we recog nize and partly seek to imitate the various gymnastic and other means which they employed to secure it.— But probably we should make a fatal 'error it' we omitted from our calcula tions the hearty and generous ear nestness with which the highest sub jects of art, speculation and politics were pursued by them Surely in their case the beautiful and energet ic mental cite was expressed in the athletic and graceful frame. And were it a mere extravagance to ask whether some part of the lassitude and wearine's of life, of which we hear so much in our day, might be due to lack of mental occupation on worthy subjects, exciting and repay ing a generous enthusiasm, as well as to au over-exercise on lower ones; whether an engrossment on matters which have not substance enough to justify or satisfy the mental grasp, be not at the root of some of the maladies which affect our mental convalescence? Any one who tries it soon finds out how wearying, how disproportionately exhausting is an overdose of " light literature" com pared with an equal amount of time spent on real work.

When a man is sick he is weak, and ta,ncludes that as when he was well he ate heartily and was strong, if he now eats heartily, he will become strong again ; well meaning, but ignorant friends are of the same opinion, and their solicita tions to eat become one of the great est alinoyances of a sensible invalid. Nature purposely takes away the appetite wilder such circumstances and makes the very sight of food nauseating: A' sick man is feeble; this feebleness extends to every muscle of the body, and the stole ad) being made up of a number of muscles, has its share of debiiity.— . It requires several hours of labor for the stomach to "Nork up" an ordi nary meal; and to give it that , amount or work to do when it is al ready in an exhausted condition, is like giving a man, worn out by a hard day's work, a task which shall keep him laboring half the night.— Mothers are often much afraid that their daughters will hurt themse.ves by a little work, if they complain of not feeling very well ; and yet if such daughters were to sit down to dinner and shovel in enough proven der for an elephant or a plowman, it would be considered a good omen and the harbinger of convalescence. A reverse of such procedure would restore multitudes of ailing persons to permanent good health ; namely, to eat very little for a few days eat nothing but coarse bread and work about the house industriously ; or what is better, exercise in the open air for the greeer part of each day on horseback, in the garden, or walking through the woodlands or over the hills, fur hours at a time.— Objectless walks and lazy lolling in carriages, are very little better than not hing. The effect of interested, absorbing exercise is to work out of the system the diseased and surplus matter which poisons it ; this relieves the stomach of the burdens imposed upon it, and allows it time to gain strength, so as more perfectly to convert the food eaten into well made, pure, and life giving blood. A weakly but faithful servant, in the effort to get through with a specified amount of work, may perform it all, but none of it is thoroughly done; whereas, if a moderate task had been assigned, all of it would have been well done, so a weak stomach, indi cated -by a poor LIN etite, may be able to convert a small amount of food into pure, invigorating blood; but if too much is eaten, the at tempt to "get through it all" is made, blood is manufactured, but it is an imperlect blood, it is vitiated, and mixed with that already in the sys tem, at every beat of the heart, the whole mass its corrupted, and "lam ailing all over" is the expressive de scription. In . anotber set of cases there is a morbid appetite; the un happy dyspeptic is always hungry; and finds that he feels best while eating, and for a brief space after ward, he is always eating and always dying. To hear him talk, you would imagine he could not possibly live 1 1 1 long, and yet be does live and grows old in his miseries. Such may reas onably expect a cure; Ist. By eat- . ing very moderately- at three speci fied times each day, and not an atom at any other; then in less than a fortnight sometimes these distress ing cravings will cease. 2nd. Spend a large potion of daylight in agree able out-door activities.---ildll's Jour. nal of Health THE LAST DAYS OF QUEEN ELIZA- BETH. Queen Elizabeth dies, and dies of grief. It has been the fashion to attribute to her —1 h now not why—remorse for Essex's death; and the foolish and false tale about Lady Nottingham and the ring has been accepted as history. The facts seem to be that she never held up her head after Burleigh's death. She could not speak of him without tears , forbade his name to be mentioned in the council. No wonder; never had a mistress a better servant.— For nearly half a century have these two noble souls loved each other, trusted each other, worked with each other ; and God's blessing has been on their deeds, and now the faithful God-tearing man has gone to his reward; and she is growing old, and knows that the ancient fire is dy• ing out in her; and who will be to her what he was ? Buckliuret is a good man, and one of her old pupils; and she makes him Lord Treasurer in Burleigb's place ; but beyond that, all is dark. "I am a miserable, forlorn woman ; there is bone about me that I can trust." She sees through false Cecil, through false Henry Howard. Essex has proven himself worthless, and pays the penalty of his sine. Men are growing worse than their fathers. Spanish gold is ',ringing in luxury and sin.

"Oh, that I were a milk-maid, with pail apbu mine arm !" But it cannot be. It never could have been , and she must endure it to the end. "Therefore, I hated life; yea. I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun, because I should leave it to the man that shall be after we. And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a tool? Yet shall he have rule over all my labor wherein I have showed myself wise in wisdom, and knowledge, and equity. Vanity of vanities, all is van ity and vexation of spirit !"
