Miss !Calor Pauline 'Cushtlian. Among the women of America who have made themselves famous since the opening of the rebellion. few have suf fered more or rendered more service to the Federal cause, than Miss Major Pauline Cushmao, the female scout and spy. At the commencement tl hostilities she resided in Cleveland, Ohio, and was quite well known as a clever actress. From Cleveland she went to Louisville. where she had an engagement in Wood's Theatre. Here, by her intimacy with certain Rebel officers, she incurred the suspicion of being a Rebel, and was ar rested by the Federal authorities. She indignantly denied that she was a Rebel, althuagli born at the South, and having a brother in aißebel Missouri regiment. In order to test her love for the old flag. she was asked if she would enter the secret service of the Government. She readily consented, and was at otice,em ployed to carry letters between Louisville and Nashville. She was subsequeotiy employed by Gen. Rosencrans, and ass for many mouths with, the Army of the I ,Cumberlandi She visited the Rebel lines time after time, and ,. was thoroughly acquainted With all the country and roads in Tennessee, Northern Georgii, Ala bama and 'Mississippi, in whiz.li sections she rendered our armies invaluabla' ser vice. She Was twice suspected of being a spy, and taken prisoner, but managed to escape. At last, hbwever, she was not so for tunate. After our forces had captured Major Cushman made a scout toward Shelbyville to obtain information of the strength aircposition of the enemy, and while teturning to Nashville, was captured on l , the . Hardin pike, eleven miles from the latter city,. She was placed on ,a horse, and in charge of two scouts was being taken to Spring Hill, the head quarters of Fprert: While on the way to this place, she feigned sickness, and said she could not rravel.any further without falling from, her horse. Het ,captors stopped at a bouts sty the lreadside, when it was ascetil taitied that a Fede,ral scouting party had passed the hong - eau hourbefore Knowing aut het guards had importantvapers for Gen. Bragg, the quick-witted spy seized the fact and schemed to use it to her a vantage. Seeing an old negro, whtt 4peared to commiserate her infortimate plight, she] watched bet opportunity and placed $lOl in Tennessee money in his hands{ saying, "Run up the load, Untie, arid dame batik in a few minutes, telling us that fob:. hundred Fecierals -are coming down the street." The faithful negro obeyed she order iitetallyand soon came back in the greatest excitement,telling the story.— ;The two "Reba." told him he lied. The old Colored man got down on bin knees. saying ' "Massa; dey's cUmin' sate null; de Lord help ui. dey 13 cumin:'-' The acotttg, gt this,Atelieved his story, mounted their horses,- - and "skedaddled" for the woods. Miss ,Cushman, seizing a pist of belonging to a wounded soldier in the house, also mounted her. horse and fled toward Franklin. She traveled thro ugh the rain, and after nightfall lost her way .Soo' rt came the challenge of a picket. "Who comes there ?" Thinking she had ' reached the Rebel line, she said, "A friend of Jr. Davis." "All right," was the reply "advance and give the countersign.

Seeing a light at a firm-house, elle sought shelter. Ati old Min received her kindly, shoWed her to a room, and said he would wake her eitly in the morning, and show her the ipild to Y+ianklin. A l loud knock awoke her in the born log from her Lethean slumbers, and up. on arousing She found her horie saddled and the two-guards from stbem she had escapecrt kti he pievioafternniiti, She was taken I,lt'the headgiertera of Potrest, aiid he sent her, after a iititteit examination, toiGen. Bragg. Nothing eoidd be found against her' data a selfish woman stole her gaiters, under the 1136 sole of which were found important doeuments Which clearly proved her to be a spy. She was tried and condemned to be executed as a spy, but being sick, her execution was postponed. She L 'finally, after lying in prison three month's, sent for Gen. Bragg, and asked him if his had no mercy. She received from him the comforting assurance that he should wake an example of her, and that he shoiald hang her as soon as she got well enough to b e hung decently. While in this state of susperi§e; the grand fumy of Rosencrans Couiccienced its forward movement, and one fine day' the Rebel town where she was ilopris. onLd was surprised and captured, and the heroine of this tale was, to her great joy released. She is now in this city ' visiting friends, having arrived at the Riddle -House one ciaj last week.—De. troit - Tribune, May 24th. Coming out from church in the morn log, we found a line of ambulances going down the street. A driver told ui that they had just left a hundred "bully boys" at Judiciary Square hospital. Do you think the adjective a coarse and vulgar ooe-?

I went to the hospital. In one of the wards I Wood a wan, or rather he found we, for I tuark.sd him a reserved man, while I passed, who would choose to be left to his , ' own thoughts. But he Called to we, "II say, you're a Yaokee." It seems that my dozen years of knocking about the world I have out worn off all the marks of nativity I yet; though I had flattered myself that I was grown a cosmopolite. So. I told this soldier. "I knew you becauSU I'd' a Yin ' kee, too , " was his answer—whiqh 1 pass over to students of mental organism. found him,a wan from Maine. He had' a bad flesh wound in one arm, and one leg I was off just above the knee "Don't mind the leg,but tell me about Sheridan's raid " I I read Secretary Stanton's telegram rela: Live to it. "0 . 1 tell you, we'll fetch 'em 'yet ! Old Lee'il find what 'tis to come to judgment, before he bets through with it, I guess, in a way he didn't look for. Go down by that room, and read it to that wan on the right." That was my dismis sal, and r went. "The man on the right" I found to be a Boston notion, red of hair, freckled of face,blue of eye, square of chin, broad of nostril—in a word, not a man with whom Arawinta would fall in love at first,nor a man whom Susan Jane would idolise as the hero of a romance. "3Ior• clia';" was his answer to my salntritico— tette and pointed all poisible. What could I say to one who cut me off in that way? While I stayed an instant he wadi: an in ventory of me—l felt he wan visaing judg , merit, as only a Wan can whose wits have been sharpened by long etperienee at picket duty. Suddenly he opened his -large eyes- to their widest, and "MAL'S the news 1" I saw that uoe arm Was gone above the elbow, and I judged there et/6 a body wound somewhere, and I knee by the waking of his forehead that he wits in pain. I own thiS questibti astonished we. I triefly summed lip the morning papers for him.

For . answer I "tit, '"0, dawn the arw I—what's the difference if we only lick the rebels !" We had fur ther talk, and I found him a hero from head to foot—eyery quarter inch of his five feet nine. His parting word was : "somewhere you'll find a youngster with a hole in his leg—he's a kind of pug nosed boy, with whit( hair. but he's got he grit—l know him, and be came up in the wilibulance with me; please get hi.D an orange or two if you find him, and cheer him up—he's a little down id the gills this wurning,- but tiell be all right in a day or two." .

There were skeptics,however,and When the war closed it remained a mooted point. Those who ;remember the rain& which followed the 'seven (days' -fight 'before Rich atood,as well as thnse which followed all the other prominent battles on the Pettit:nib, will at once acknowledge the theory to be correct—that battles disturb the eleilients in the most singular man ner.

It is thus coriclusive, with the evidetice so plainly before us, that wars bring rein i in summer, and snj items in winter.

It is usual to have sflowers in the,mid dle of Nay, but long Continued rains are out of the ordinary course of events ai this season of the lest.. The subject is one worthy the atfention of all who , taka an interest in th`C phenomena of the weather. . Fretfulness. Fretfulness is a great lender of misery. It begins its loan to very yoing borrow ers; and there is great denger that if its debtors draw on it early they will become sad spendthrifts of misery, and scarcely ever be able to free themselves from the clutches of their haril task-master and cieditur. 'There is nothing more FUC eessful in making people •unnecvsrarily miserable than a fretful, discontented spirit: It works ill io two ways; it causes its victims to think badly-of-them. selves, and (what is worse) to think badly of other people, too. , Fretfulness and peevishness are very touch under our own control. Men can I choose• to what extent they will permit circumstances to have influence over thee), and the char acter of that influence. An exceutric person. of the Johnsonian 'school, has made a sort of fable on this subject. He maintains that all kinds ;of weather may be made charming tort man if he so will; that if he will go'out in the rain, without any defence, and pretend to know tioth., ing about the showers, the rain will tease for him ; each drop exclaiming : "It is no use raining upon thA man, he does not mind it." There is a Moral to that fable; and We maybe sure that if, instead of allowing every slight incident in per sonal; social', or family life to ruse 6nr tempers and Make us wretehed,'we r determined to regard fewer of their, the wear bud leir..of life would be much less," and days aaa hours would pass more, pleisantly.
