That there is cause for this success goes with- aut saying, No other publication, of any description, before the public makes the effort to give its readers the best of everything, and succeeds in doing it as does this monthly. Its illustrations lead the world; its literary merit is certainly of the highest order that money can buy or braing produce. Each month, from year's end to year’s end, ean be found in side its covers something to instruct and please every member of the household. In fact a year's careful reading of the Cosmopolitan means a progressive step in the education of any man or woman in the land.

Bartle of Fredericksburg. By one of our farmer townsmen. “Carry me back to old Virginia.” was the tune the bands and drum corps played when we broke camp near Hagerstown, and by easy stages via Harrnton, Cat- letts Station and Stafford Court House reached Belle Plains, in a snow storm, where we went into camp and remained until the 13th Deec., when another ag- gressive movement was made aginst the Rebels, who were strongly fortified on the heights south of Fredericksburg. Early on the morning of the 13th we | were crossing on a pontoon bridge, which | had been thrown across during the night previous and put in position in the cen- ter. in plain view of the Rebel works, and in close proximity to their skirmish line. We had been seffering a good deal on account of the long. cold, wet spell, which made the roads almost impassable and delaved onr supply trams, so that for nearly a week we were on very short allowance of rations. It may appear foolish to say, but it is nevertheless true. the most discomforture to most of us was the want of tobacco. 1saw my captain offer a gold dollar and his fine rubber blanket for one chew of tobacco. The sutlers were the only party we could get tobacco from, and they well knew how anxions we were looking for them to come up. I went back on the road, over | a mile. to intercept the first wagon and | get a plng before they would get to camp, so as to avoid the great rush that was usual when the sutler wagon first ar- rived. T.got a Navy plug which was [about 14 inches long, 4 inches wide and inch thick. for which he charged me 00.

While making a proper disposition of of Stonewall Jackson, who tried to turn our left and get oun our flank and rear. But the brave sons of the old Keystone state were more than a match for them. While jackson was engaged on the left, Lee threw a force against our center, but it was very faint compared to the fight- ing on our left and right. At and in front of Fredericksburg the fighting was terrible and our loss appalling... Our po- sition was a very distressing one, from the fact that we were in such close prox- imity to the Rebel works—their guns be- ing protected, while ours were in the open field. There is no more trying po- sition to a soldier than to put him under fire without the privilege of resisting. To endure is worse than to fight. The night of the 18th I was on picket, and I thought IT would perish. The wind was blowing and snow flying in the air, and I was without overcoat or blanket. About 2 o'clock that night word came along the line, “‘Rebels advancing on the right;” afd in less time than it takes to write it, the whole army of the Potomac was up and at their post, ready for action. Under the conditions that night I believe they would sooner have fought than lie still. It was a bard night on me, forl had a very severe return of that distress- ing disease, diarrhoea. In the morning we were permitted to build fires and cook a warm breakfast, which consisted of fried sow-belly, hardtack and coffee. We lay in support of the batteries all day, under a continuous fire of shot and shell, and at night it was so cold that it was impossible to sleep. The morning of the 15th the tempera- ture raised considerable, and after break- fast everybody except the guards were sound asleep. regardless of the shot and shell the Rebels were dropping around us. We remained in that position until the night of the 16th, when we gilently retreated back over the river and went into eamp at White Oak Church, thus ending the campaign of 1862. Corrr. B. F.

Three days is a very short time in which to cure a bad case of rhenmatism; but it can be done, if the proper treat- ment is adopted, as will be seen by the following from James Lambert, of New Brunswick, Ill.: “I was badly afflicted with rheumatism in the hips and legs, when T bought a hottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It cured me in three days. I am all right today; and would insist on every one who is afflicted with that terri- ble disease to use Chamberlain's Pain Balin and get well al once.” 50 cent bot- tles for sale by Copland, the druggist, Meyersdate, 1 Pa. Safe Unto the yond, If any sincere Christian cast himself with his whole will upon the Divine Presence which dwells within him, he shall be kept safe unto the end. When did we ever set ourselves sincerely to any work according to the will of God and fail for want of strength? It was not that strength failed the will, but that the will failed first. If we could hnt em- brace the Divine will with our whole love, cleaving to it and holding fast to: it, we should be borne.alone, as upon the river of the water of life.—Cardinal Manning. Mothers’ Recommendation, We are acquainted with many mothers in Centerville who would not be withont Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in the house for a good many times its cost, and are recommending it every dav. From personal experience we can say that it has broken np bad colds for our children. —~QCenterville, South Dakota, Citizen. 50 cent bottles forsale by Copiand, the druggist, Meyversdale, Pa.

If he could jump as far forward according to his weight as a flea can, he conld make 23 trips around the world at one leap.—St. Louis Repab- lic. Cholerine in Penney Iyania, Swickley., Penn.: We had an epidem- ic of cholerine, as our physician called it. in this place lately and I made a great hit with Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I sold four doz- en bottles of it in one week and have since sold nearly a gross. This Remedy did the work and was a big advertisement for me. Several persons who had been troubled with diarrlroea for two or three weeks were cured by a few doses of this medicine. P. P. Knapp, Ph.
