The deformed girl paused. Clasping her

with all the fervor ol an/enthusiasts Her
eyes beamed with a soil saintly light. I lost
sight of her poor body, end saw only the soul

the pulse of human sympathy, she bad of

inner life—the ideal —the eternal, .

.And this mixed and mingled world is heed
less of intellect, unless trampled in a beauti
ful body. We cannot judge from the exter
nal who is the most West. It may be the
beggar in the street, the hunger pinched
needle-woman, the forsaken outcast, the
doomed tailor, or the infidel dying of an in
curable malady. Happiness of the mind—
the kingdom of joy within. An apparent
evil may be a joy in disguise. Our knowl
edge is limited. What we decide upon hast
ily it still undecided. All things are man
tled with mystery. All wisdom casts differ
ent shades when viewed from different points.
All troth has paradoxical sides, AH minds
have their fata morgana—their hazy atmos
phere—their world of mental mirage.
The deformed girl is sick now. Her sick
ness is mortal. Before the spring months
come, she will escape from her bodily prison,
and that part which is immortal will be in the
realm of her hopes. She has been cared for
end made comfortable, so far as practical.—
She will suffer no more from unkind treat
ment.. I shall note her footsteps down' into
the dust—not op to the clouds. She is re
joined at the prospect of dissolution; Her
faith may well cast shame on older poisons
and deeper pretenders to piety. '
And the deformed girl has nothing to fear.
She will pass joyful onto him whosaid, “SuA
fer little children to comsunto roe.”
It is not ollen that mirage is seen in tem
perate climates unless upon deserts. But a
recent instance of this phenomenon was Seen
at Buffalo, upon Lake Brie, it is an optical
illusion arising from an unequal refraction of
the atmosphere it its lower strata,causing oh;
jecis to be seen double, as if refleeted in a
mirror or suspended in the air. In deserts
cities, trees, and water frequently apper in (he
distance, inviting (he weary, thirsty traveler
to comfort and rest, but upon bis approach
they melt into air end disappear from bit vis
ion. In regard to the illusion upon Lake
Erie, the Buffalo Democracy says:
“A peculiar appearance was presented in
the atmosphere over the lake on Saturday
morning'' the like of which had never been
noticed before by those accustomed to daily
intercourse with all the beauties and tenon
peculiar to oar waters. At an early hour,
some gentlemen, looking out upon the bay,
discovered the top hamper and loflier sails of
a vessel apparently rising front (he surface of
tbs water, the hull and towter mskt being en
tirely invisible. Soon another craft, similarly
situated, was pointed out, and 'still the won

keelf yet there they were, as distinct as pos
sible, sunk to their topmasts, the glassy Mr*
face of the water just reaching their lower
mastheads. A tdg was firing up, and when
ready slowly steamed out into the lake. For
a lime there was nothing remarkable in hhr
conduct, but suddenly she too sunk, And there
was her smokestack jusf emerging from the
deep and ploughing through jt without a rip.

the bright morning sup, and the soft balmy
temperature. _ The inasidn' greW put bf a

General Morgan’* camp. The day was’
beautiful, aid- th* apoi wo had-chosen for
oar resiiog place was on those grassy nooks,
shutout apparently (tarn the rest of tbe world
by lints of thick, impenetrable underbrush
and a gigantic forestf a email bui deSr aid
deep etream ran by it, and the sun was at,
tech a declination ns to thro* half of (he lif
tie Spot To (he shade; We laid down our
arms, relieved ourselves Of knapsacks, apd
spreading the scanty store upon the grass,
ate with a good appetite, refreshed 'ourselves
from the limpid watera.jpf. the stream, "and
then each amused himself as be coold.
; After restingawhile, some went in lo bathe,
andone by one, as.'ihe pleasure seemed to
increase, followed, until , the whole party
were in the stream. This lasted for about
half an hour, and most of us bad returned
to ibe shore and were dressing, when a new
feature was given to the scene by one of the
number saying that “he.was going to wash
his shin,” Now, most of us bad worn (his
peculiar garnjpu, two, three and four wqeks,
andeome even longer, without their having
been once washed, and there is on doubt of
their needing it very much; for, mind you,
the man in .those days who could afford two
ahirts—whole shirts—was a curiosity. The
idea, therefore, was.a good one, and many
immediately began disrobing themselves
again, and soon were as busy as washer*
women, rubbing away like fulling-mills. As
the pieces were finished they were hung in
t he. sun on the limbs-of trees, er spread out
on tbs grass.
.Many were still engaged in their washing;
some were stretched on the ground in deep
sleep, some were wrestling, some jumping,
some collected in knots,telling stories; near
ly all naked as they were born.; in fact, as
fellows could be, with one shirt,and that dry
ing in the sun, and but a morsel in the knap
sack, when we were startled—yee, indeed,
really frightened—by a volley of musketry,
the balls of which whistled by us, fortunate
ly only making a few slight flesh wounds.
The sound of musketry, although -it sur
prised us at first, we were too much accus
tomed lo bearing to remain long under a pan
ic, so, the nest moment found each man in
possession oMtis musket, and himself covered
by a tree. We had not long to wait, before
a large body of British broke through the un
derbrush, which bad before concealed them,
and rushed with fixed bayonets upon us. But
their progress was suddenly checked by our
fire, which laid a large number dead before
ua. We bad no time lo reload, when the
enemy again charged down upon us, and we
were forced to give way. We ran some dis
tance, reloaded and stood our ground. Up
to this lime we had not thought of the condi
tion we were io, when one of the officers
cried out; "Boys will you lose your shirts 1”
(then casting our eyes around quickly, we
gave a shout, “Now for our shirts!’.’ and
rushed forward like so many naked devils.
Aaaoon os the British came to our view we
poured in a well directed fire, and immedia
tely charged with the bayonet, So suddenly.
bad this movement been made that, supposing
that we were still running the other way, they
tyere completely surprised, and -then dime
their time to run. .After them we shouted
still with out new watchword “Shirts I” The
officers of the enemy, having at length suc
ceeded in securing the attention of the men,
wheeled them and gave us a return fire, which
killing as we supposed, seme of cur party,
we again took to our heels; and the red-coats
taking up. our cry of “Shirts I” came pell
moll after us. Again we turnefinnd charged
the British running, they in turn charging
upon us, each party shouting “Skirts I’ 7 uni>l
finally it became a regular “shirt-tail fight:’*
At length becoming somewhat exasperated
with the game, and constantly reminded of
our shirts by the enemy screaming it io our
ears, and, recollecting too, that we would cut
a very aqtrrw figure returning to our quarters
anas eutottet, Ore made one desperate charge;
and finally succeeded in gaining the day by
driving the British from the field, Seuerat of
our party were wonuded but not kilted.- Not
so with the British, Tho dead werescattered
all over the little green space, aud through
the woods, and putting on our garments, and
leaving tbe.dead to be buried by their own
people, vre took, .the circuitous route Which

Air can be compressed into nbodyof const*
entUe density when closely in
tba open atmosphere a projectile though
moving at the utmost. velocity attainable in
artillery practice, is incapable of condensing
the air around it aufficiemly Id cause serious
injury by the impact. Instances have oc.
curred in the present Europettn military ope,
rations, where lose of life has been ascribed
lo the influence of air acted upon By rapidly
moving balls. In the selge of Vera Cruz,
Major Vinton was said to have been killed in'
this manner, no injury existing apparently
produced from contact with the missile By
which he lost his Hie; and an instance is giv.
en in the idtordsof military surgery of a boy
who was carrying a sand-bog upon his head,
from which it'was knocked byattvobty-fbur
lb. shot; He fell ■ senseless j laborious res
piration, dilated pupils, incessant nausea and
weak alow pulse continued for 34 hours, at
the end of which time convulsions recurred
and be died. A more rational explanation
exists than lo attribute these easey to the ef
fect of condensed air. A cannon ball in the
first part of ila course moves in a right line.
When the impulse received from the explo
sion of the powder commences to abate other
influences begin to act. The resistance cf
the atmosphere and (he attraction of (he earth
causes the ball lo revolve opon its own axis
in addition to its forward impulse. If, with
diminished velocity and the consequent rota,
ry motion, the bait strikes on object, it is not
carried away, as would be the case in the
more rapidly moving portion of its coarse;
but, in consequence of the curvilinear move*'
raent it bas acquired, (urns around the object
struck, or rolls over it like a wheel passing
over a resting substance in its path. The ef
fect produced resembles (bat resulting from
the fall, upon a diving part, of a ponderous
body which is arrested in its descent beforait
has proceeded far enough to crush the object
beneath it sufficiently to inflict faint contusion.
The head is obviously the part most suscepti
ble of receiving such severe injury in the ab-'
senco of outward marks of violence.
Thai a ball can be turned from its course
by comparatively trivial obstacles. is often
shown. A trifling inequality of surface or
difference of density is sufficient to cause great
divergence. An instance is known where a
bullet entered on the side of the head, passed
around beneath the scalp and lei) out upon
the opposite side, as though it had passed di
rectly through the brain. In another instance
a bullet stnick the “Adam’s apple,” passed
entirely round the mck and lodged in the ori
fice by which it entered. A soldier being
struck in the right arm, the ball was found
beneath the akin of the opposite (high; nod
in another, who was wounded in the an
kle when running, the bullet was found above
the jroeo. A soldier at Waterloo received a
maskel-ball upon the nose, which split open
the sharp edge of the bone. A part of the
bullet waa immediately extracted, and ns Con
tinental troops sometimes fire split balls, the
other part not being found, this waa supposed
to be such an instance. The man died opon
the tenth day from bleeding at thenose and
mouth, and on dissection. fho missing portion
of the ball wos discovered imbed ded,l»y the
side of the jugular vein, which hod inflamed]
and burst. At (he same battle a pocket, con J
taining two five-franc pieces and two copper
coins,.was driven into the owner’s leg, nod
and extracted after some days. Three pie
ces of coin were removed from the leg of a
Hanoverian soldier five days after the bailie.
As he bad neither money nor pocket, they
evidently come from a cotnrad who was killed
beside him. The pain from a gun-shot wdbnd
is said not to be severe, but Mr. Guthrie, a
distinguished British surgeon, who served
through the Peninsular war, and was himself
woondefl, slates it otherwise. The pain be
affirms, is like a dead, heavy blow, and it
causes great mental disturbance.
Dkbau of a Qdakee Lady.— There is a
beautiful story told of a pious Quaker- lady,
who was much adicted to smoking tobacco.—
She had indulged herself in this habit until it
bad increased so much upon her that she not
only smoked her pipe a large portion of the
day, but frequently sat up in bed forthis pur.
pose in the night. After one of those noctur

replied on returning, that be could not find it.

there.” He eiaroined again,, but returned'
| with a sorrowful itece, shying that it was not
, there. “Do look once more l" The angel
•wee moved to lean , by her entreaties, and
Sgain left her to renew his search. After a
long absence he came back, his face radiant
with joy, and exclaimed, “We have found it!
but it was so clouded with tobacco smoke that
We could hardly see it I” Ttte good woman,
upon .waking, immediately threw her pipe

Southern people often laugh at what they
consider , sqdeamishqess at the north upon
such subjects. A few years since a great
cry was raised about a public, man, who has
since been President of the United States, for
selling one of bis sons who was a stave. It
was pronounced by his partisans a base libel
A slave dealer who livedjn the immediate vi
cinity of this told us that there
could be no possibility of doubt about the pa
ternity of the slave in question; that bp /
sembled his father even more closely than did
any of his whits sons.
This same dealer said he had purchased
not long before, from a northern man who
was keeping a sort of seraglio in a slave
state, an elegant mulatto servant at a mere
nominal price, entirely on account of the mas.
ter’s jealousy* of his attentions to one of his
favorite mulatto mistresses. He took him to
Louisiana and sold him at a very large ad
