The following fragment describes only one of many "martyrs" abused to death by the rebellious south, and whose blood appeals to the vengeance of God. The hero whose death is recorded was a Union captain, cap tured at the battle of Fair Oaks, and starved in Belle Isle prison, and.his widow tells the story of.his return: . Last October they brought my husband borne 0, what a pitiful semblance of the man who wavedhis gilded cap to me from the road, as I stood in the porch that Sep tember morning so long ago? They left him alone in the parlor to wait for me, for I had fainted at sight of him from the window— my darling Frank—this skeleton with sun ken limbos and ghastly fallen checks and dull eyes ! Could it be he ! Only when I en tered the parlor where he sat, and beheld the clustering black hair that shaded his white forehead, could I see ought of •the man I had married in that May night when the Oder df the apple blossoms was in the air. He looked on me so pitifully, and raised his wan bands as if to embrace me. I flew to his breast, and kissed his white cheek and colorless lips with despair in my heart for I knew he had "come home to die." "Is this my, husband?" I murmured in a tone of awe, as I looked upon the strange, strange face. "This is what they have left of him," said he, smiling faintly; and I hid my face in his bosom. -'Where is my boy ?", smoothing my hair with his bony hand. I went for Frank, and held him up while his father embraced him in his arms. The .little fellow looked into his white and beard ed face with a straight, earnest gaze, and then his eyes filled with tears, and his lips began to quiver; bat it was with pity, not with childish fear, for he put up his little hand to his father's mouth caressingly, and said, "Papa sick!" ***** * * * * The winter rolled by. slowly, and he did not die.

Is there a reeurreetiou? • Nature each year demonstrates the resur rection ih their revolving seasons. It is winter, and animate nature is dead. Earth and ¶ater are changed to a crystaline rock. There is no dew, no rain, only frost —the congealed damp on the frosty land seape;,there is a biting wind, and the leafless trees are swayed like hoary skeletons moved in mockery of life. The sap in their veins is stone. A few animals, protected by the forethought of man, and man himself, by su- perior wisdom and the control it gives him of the elements. survived. Look out on the frozen world, and say if anything were more completely dead! There nothing active but the wind, and that seems o infernal breath, blown from an unknown source, by which nature was destroyed. If to this'seene we add one element—heat —everything bounds into life; the shroud vanishes; the stream dances down the mead ow, bordered with green grass and bright flowers; the trees clothe themselves in emer ald; birds earol in the branches; the little lumps of stone turn to insects and reptiles, chirping in the foliage, or bathing in the sunshine. Suddenly there is a resurrection of life in exuberance. of forms, and pleni tude of power.

We take the following instructive anti-' de from a late number of Ball's Journal' of -Heald; All know that the less ,we exercise the less health we have, and the more certain , we are to die before our time. But comparative. ly few persona are able to explain how ex ercise promotes health. Both beast and bird, in , a state of nature,- are exempt from disease, except in rare cases; it is because the unappeasable instinct' of searching for their necessary food, impels them to cease less activities. Children, !hen, left to them selves, eat a great 'deal and have excellent health, because' they will be doing some thing all the time, until they become* so tired that they fall asleep; and as soon as they wake, they begin right away to run about again; thus their whole existence is spent in alternate eating and sleeping, and exer cise whichintere sti n g and pleasurable.— The health of childhood would — bir - enjoyed by those of maturer years, if, like children, they would eat only when they. are hungry; stop when' they have done; take rest in sleep as soon as they are tired; and, when not eating or resting, would spend the time dil igently in such muscular activities ay would e interesting, agreeable and profitable.— °Exercise, without mental elasticity, without an enlivenment of the feelings and th e mind, is of comparatively little value. 1. Exercise is health producing, because it works off and but of the system its waste,' dead and effete matters; these are all con verted-nto a li uid form , called by some' "humors," which haves — from the body through the "pores" of the skin in the shape of perspiration, which all have seen. and which all know is the result of exercise, when the body is in a state of health.— Thus it is, that persons who do not. perspire, who have a dry skin, are always either fev erish or chilly, and are never well, and never can be as long as that condition exists. So exercise, by working out of the system its waste, decayed and useless matter, keeps the human machine "free;" otherwise it would soon clog up, and the wheels of life would stop forever! 2. Exercise improves the health, because every step a man takes tends to impart mo tion to the bowels; a proper amount of exer cise keeps them acting once in every.twen ty-four hours; if they have not motion e nough, there is constipation, which brings on very many fatal diseases; hence exercise, especially that of walking, wards off innum• erable diseases, when it is kept up to an ex tent equal to inducing one motion of the bow els daily. 3. Exercise is healthful, because the more we exercise the faster we breathe. If we breathe faster, we take that much more air into the lungs; but it is the air we• breathe which purifies the blood, and the more air we take in, the• more perfectly is that process performed; the purer the blood is, and as ev erybody knows, the better- health must be. Hence, when a person's lungs are impaired he does not take in enough air for the wants of the system; that being the case, the air he does .breathe should be the purest possi ble, which is oat door air. Hence, the more a consumptive stays in the house, the more certain and more speedy is his death. Fourteen Ways by which People Get Sick. let.

IEI INTERESTING PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTS An army correspondent writes: In the army, and among returned soldiers, I have voted one fact in particular, somewhat at variance with the usual theories. It in that light haired men of the nervous, sanguine type; stand campaigning better than the dark hair o d men, o f bilious temperament Look through a raw regiment, on its way to the field, and you will find fully one-half its members to be of black hair, dark skinned, big boned, bilious type. See that same reg iment on its return' for muster out, and you will find that black haired element has melt ed away, leaving at least two-thirds perhaps three-fourths, of the regiment to be repre sented by red, brown, and flaxen hair.' It is also - noticed that men from the cities, slighter in phisique, and apparently at the outset unable to endure hunger and .priva tion, stand a severe, campaign much better thin men from agricultural districts, A thin, pale looking dry goods clerk will do far more marching and starving than many a plow boy, who looks muscular enough to take a bull by the tail and throw him over a stake and rider fence. THINK OP is one thing to grow up like a cabbage or a pig, and quite anoth er to grow up like a man. And yet thous ands act as though they had never realized the difference. We are left to infer this from their conduct, for they appear to have no motives controlling their lives—if lives they are worthy to be called—but those of the lower order of animals at the most, such as the instincts of hunger and repose.— Hence they live to eat and sleep; instead of eating and sleeping to live: Only think of it! But if, perchance, they depart from this swinish routine, it is to add unnatural ani malizing habits to their perverted natural ones, such a s narcotics a n d stimulants, which steal away whatever semblance ,o f manhood they may have previously worn.

We mean the a daptation of methods of instruction to °the , some one, and truly too, that order is lieav- , en's first law, and wo may expetit to find Pi mind as well as in matter unity of design and harmony of action. We-regard the mind as a whole made up of several distinct opera tive faculties,,each one performing its own function in the various operatiobeeto Which the mind 'is rubjeet. Theo faculties - are unfolded and developed in a regular order from the moment the light first greets the eye of the child until the lull lamp of reason illumines its soul.. • The faculties first awake, are the percep tive,. They are most- active in childhood., and each day • and hour the child is laying up a store of knowledge through them. The inquisitiveness and restlessness of childhood, the desire to see; and know, and observe, are the results of the action of these faculties.— They should be cultivated and disciplined by the teacher; hence we approve .and rec ommend the system of object teaching. But, we hear ati objector say, "whatie l the utility of object teaching if the child is gathhring all its knowledge from contact with things?"— We answer, for the purpose of -teaching it to systematize And classify the knowledge it is daily gleaning from the things,atound it. The knowledge it is gaining in its plays, and rambles, and researches, is crude and unor ganized, and must be reduced to order and system. • • ° Besides, another important point in object teaching, is to assist in unfolding and devel oping the reflective and reasoning powers which follow• the peseeptives in order. It is through those that are active and 'working that we reach those that are further back in the order of development. At the same time that these object lessons are given, much can be done toward the cul tivation of the moral powers. Through na ture, the child can be led up to nature's God. His love, wisdom, and goodness, and a sense of His existence can be impressed upon the young mind with a force that can - be done in no other way: Many impressiOns thus 'made in childhood shape the moral and reli. glom careerxif the future mdn. Thus by a judicious system of training,— by observing the laws of the mind, aQd cul tivating and strengthening the various fac ulties as they unfold, Working iB harmOny, with the laws of nature, le' turn out a well balanced and harmonious mind. ‘'Delightful task, to rear the tender thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot, To pour the fresh instruction o'er the mind , i To breathe the enlivening spirit, and to liz The generous purpose in the glowing breast'."
