And not bear the children breathing,

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. '

ick, and disheartened, she turned back.
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

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

Those who ;remember the rain& which

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
