WORK TO DO,
From the north and the west--
Thacare joined, heart and hand,
For the flag of their sires,
And tke laws of the land,
Come forth, ye free inen,
That aro loyal thereto,
For Freedom has work
Far her children to do !
Not the work that ye know,
That is best for the free,
gowing towns in new lands;
Plowing ships through the sea;
Ye are perfect in this,
It is old ; but the new— •
'Tis a grim work your Sires
Left their children to do .
Could they speak from their graves,
They would shout to their sons :
“Leave your plows, drop your tools,
Run and shoulder your guns !
Ye must march to the south,
Ye must cut your way through,
Or—leave the stern work
yer your children to-do !"
We hear the alarm
• Like the lightnieg it rune,
And thousaads of freemen
Have shouldered their guns;
They will fall on the south,
They will email and subdue,
Nor leave their sad work
For their children to do I
For the north and the west—
They have - taken their stand
For the flag that they love,
And the laws of the land r
'They'll maintain them till death,
Ay, arid after it, toe—
For they'll still leave the work
Which their children will do I

And wait the celoncl's first command,

Advance quick step there's nu retreating;
The promptest, bravest, are the best.
What though behind we leave our treasures,
Our household darlings, home-born joys,

We go to win a richer booty
Than all our labor could afford ;

And join the Union's mighty band,
Resolved to rise to noble places,
Or die to save our native land.

WASHINDTON AND THD CORPORAL...-
During the American Revolution, it is
said, tile commander of a little squad
was giving orders to those under him
relative to a log of timber, which they
were endeavoring to raise to the top of
military works they were preparing.—
The timber went up with difficulty, and
en this account the voice of the little
man was often heard in regular vocifer
ations of "Heave away I there she goes
heave ho !" An officer, not in the mili
tary costume, was passing, aad asked the
commander why he did not take hold
and render a little aid. The latter, as
tonished, turning round with the pomp
of an emperor, said : " Sir, I am a eor
poral." "You are, are you ?" replied the
officer. "I was not aware of that;" aad
taking off his hat and bowing, the officer
said, "I ask your pardon, Mr. Corporal,"
and then dismounted, and lifted till the
sweat stood in drops on his forehead.—
When the work was finished, turning to
the commander, he said : " Mr. Corpo
ral, when you have another such job,
and have not men enough, send for your
commander-in chief, and I will oome and
help you a second Woe." The corporal
was astonished. It was Washington
who thus addressed him !
A...PLUCKY MAN IN WASNINGTO3)I
That man Mr. Spinner the United States
Treasurer. Some one was saying to him
en Tuesday of last week, that probably
the fate of the nation would be
sealed within three days, the result
of the next contest, at or near Centre
ville. Dlr. Spinner replied, "IQ is not
true, for if we get whipped there wo will
still make another fight on the Potomac
line ; and if we then lose Washington,
the war will have only just begun. Not
until there has been a funeral i,s every fa
mily will the government and the people
make up their minds to wage this war as
it should be waged !" We like. such men
and suck talk. If the question was put
by the Government today to the peo
ple of the loyal States, tisere would
come up such tremendous .Nos, as would
shake the White House to its founda
tion.. We will yield ? Never ! Before
God, never?
A CALIFORNIA DODGE.—Those who go
round with the contribution box in Cal
ifornia churches plead and argue the
ease at the pews as they go along. In
one instance the following dialogue en
suia : Parson L. extended the basket
to Bill, and ha slowly shook his head.—
"Come, William, give us something,"
said the parson. " Can't do it," replied
Bill. "Why not? Is not the cause a
good one ?" "yes, good enough, but I
am not able to give anything." "Poll
poh ! I know better ; you must. give a
better reason than that," "Well, 1 owe
too much money ; I must be just before
lam generous; you know." " But, Wil
liam, you owe God a larger debt than
you- owe any; one else." "That's trae,
parson ; but then he ain't pushing me
like the rest of my creditors."' The ar
gument was conclusive.
Winn Isuiess.—We aft, informed
that a daughter of Mr. Colgrove, of Clin
ton Junction, who was married and re
moved to Minnesota some time *nee, and
settled near Bed Wing, returned to her
father's house a few days ago. While
riding near their residence, in Minneso
ta, she and her husband met the sheriff
of the county, who informed -them that
he had captured three Indians. Suspec
ting some deception, they washed the
faces sf the captives and found one of
them to be a white man painted. The
sheriff and his party hung the scoundrel
on the first tree they came to without
delay or ceremony-.—Afilwaukie Sentinel.

MARIETTA, PA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1862.
At a temperance meeting once held
in the State of Alabama, Col. Lehman
owski (a Pole by birth, and we think
whe was once Count,) who bad been
twenty-three years a soldier yin Bona
part's armies, addressed the meeting.—
He arose before the audience, tall, erect
vigorous, with a glow of health in his
face; and said :
"You see before you a man seventy
nine years old. I have fought two hun
dred battles, have fourteen wounds : in
my body, have lived thirty days on horse
flesh, with the bark of trees for my bread,
snow and ice for my drink, the canopy of
heaven for my covering, without any
stockings or shoes on my feet, and with
only a few rags for my clothing. In the
deserts of Egypt I have marched for days
with the burning sun upon my naked
neck, head, feet blistered in the scoarch
ing sand, and mouth Med....with dust,
and thirst so tormenting that I have
oat the veins of my arms and sucked
my own blood. Do you ask -how I ser
4/ived these horrors ? I answer that next
to the providence of God, I owe my pres'.
ervation, my health and vigor, •to -this
fact, that I never drank-a drop of spirit
eons liquors in all my life." And he
continued, "Baron Larry, chief of the
medical staff of the French army, has
stated it as a fact, that the six thousand
survivors who safely returned from
Egypt, were all men who,abitained from
the use of ardent-spirits." •
SETTING' TYPE BY STEAM—A type
setting machine has been invented, which
is said to work perfectly. The - ma
chine, worked by an operator of common
intelligence and industry, will set and
distribute from 30,000 to 40,000 ems in,
ten. hours. Fit st-rate compositors can
not set and distribute more than 8,000
ems in the same time. Most composi
torraverage. considerably below that.—
Each machine costs 81,500, and occur
pies no more room than two printer's
cases. Although extremely complicated
it is not liable to get out of order,-and
those parts which are most likely to
tecome deranged are easily adjusted.
The owner thinks that a machine will
last fifty years with good manakement.
It may be worked by a pedal until the
operator becomes weary ; but is intended
and adapted to steam, and is seen to its
greatest advantage only when driven by
that mighty and tireless agency.
ipir If there are any Union men who
are half ready to despair, let them for
God's sake be silent and not by *heir
miserable
.cros.kinge discourage those
who are fighting or otherwise , working
for the country. And, if thy
,must look
doleful, let them either shut themselves
up or wear their wives' or mothers veils
over their faces.
far A case of extraordinary longevity
is noticed in the Paris journals. A man
named Gallot,_ aged One' hundred and
five years, appeared in company with his
wife, who was one hundred and three
years old, to receive his allowance from
the Ministry of War for military servi
ces. He was discharged from the army
in 1815.
fir At the last dates from Missouri,
the notorious Coffee at the head of his
guerillas was running, for his life. If he
keep on running in this warm weather,
he will be hot Coffee—but none the har
der to take on that account.
Cr If any young men refuse their aid
to their country, it, to be hoped for
their owh sakes that they will die young
for their reflections in old. age would
make them very miserable.

A BROTHER •IN CONGRESS.—J. S. B.
Todd, who has been elected Delegate
in Congress from the aew territory of
Dacotah, is a brother of Mrs. Lincoln,
and a graduate of. West Point in 1837.
He resigned his commission in the army
a few years ago, and took up a residence
is Dacotah, from which territory he wal
appointed a Brigadier General of Volun
teers on the 19th of September 1861.
He has been, most of the time, and we
believe is sow, in command in Northern
Missouri. Win. Jayne, brother-in-law
of Senator Trumbull, was the opposing
Union candidate.
LINT A HII3IBIIO.—A. writer in the
Boston Post says of lint : "Every ounce
of lint sent to the army does mischief.
Its only use is to cover up the blunders
of bad surgery. It is seldom used by
the best surge Ons here. In the army it
is crowded into wounds by men who
know no other way to stop hemorrhage,
and there it remains until it becomes
filled with filth and Maggots. It re
tains the dischates till they putrefy,
and produces intolerable stench. The
tiernainatfon of its work is the death of

NEURALGIA
) From two Greek words, Neuros, nerve,
and Algos, pain ; means nerve-pain ; but
as there is no pain except in connection
with the nerves, every pain or ache in
the body is really "neuralgia." Ail
ments-are generally named from the part
effected, or the nature of the malady.--
"Head-ache," because the pain is in the
head. "Pleuritis," or pleurisy, because
there is inflamation; too much arterial
blood in the pleura •r covering of the
lungs. Neuralgia is always caused by
blood; bad, because too poor or too
much of it; too poor, because there is
not exercise and pure air enough to se
cure a good digestion, and the person is
thin and pale ; too much blood, because
there is too much eating, and the bow
els not acting every day, more is taken
into the system than passes from, it, and
it is too full. The person may be fleshy
enough, and does not appear sick at all.
For a week, live on cold bread and but
ter, fruits and cold water. Take an en
ema of a pint or more of trepid water
daily, and spend the whole of day-light
in active exercise in, the open air, and
the neuralgia will be gone in three cases
out of four, the feet being kept warm,
and the whole body kept most perfectly
clean. There are twe kinds of neuralgia,
sharp and dull; both caused by there
being to caliph blood in or about the
nerve. Perhaps arterial blood gives the
sharp, venous•blood the dull or heavy
pain. In either case, the pain is of all
forms of intensity, from simple discom
fort to almost unendurable. In the more
fleshy parts, the- pain is less severe,
since the soft flesh yields before the dis
tending nerve; distended by more and
mere blood getting into it, until it is
occasionally three times its usual size ;
but when the nerve is in a tooth, or be
tween two bones, or passes through a
small hole in the bone, as in the face, or
"facial neuralgia," which is neuralgia
proper, or the Tic Dolereux of the
French, the suffering is fearful, because
there is no room far distension, and
every instant, the heart, by its beating,
plugs more blood into the invisible
blood vessels of the nerves. Bat in any
such case, open a bleed-vessel in the
arm or elsewhere, until the person is on
the very point of fainting, and the most
excruciating neuralgia is gone in an in
stant, because the heart ceases to send
en blood, and the blood already in a
part, its naturally flows out of it, as wa
ter naturally flows out of an uncorked
bottle, on its side. Hence, a skin kept
clean by judicious washings and fric
tions, helps, by its open pores, to un
load the system of its surplus ; the bow
els kept free by fruits, berries, coarse
bread, and cold water, is another source
of deliverance of excess. While these
articles of food supply but a moderate
amount of nourishment, in addition, ac
tive exercise still mere rapidly works
off the surplusage of the system, and the
man is well ; not as soon as by the
bleeding, but by a process more effect
ive, more certain, more enduring, and
without harm or danger. Hence, there
is no form of mere neuralgia, which i
not- safely and permanently cured in a
reasonable time by strict personal clean
linees, by cooling, loosening food, as
aanled, and by breathing a pure air u.
resting in our chambers at night, and
in moderate labor out of doors during
the hours of daylight. Those -whe pre
fer uncertain physic or stimulants to
these more natural remedies, are unwise,
and ought to have -neuralgia—a little.—
'Half a dram (or half a tea-spoonfull •r
thirty drops) of sal ammoniac. in one
ounce (or two table-speonfalls) of cam
phor-water. Dose : one tea-spoonfull
every flee minutes until relieved, or from
one to three tea-spoonfulls of varieties o
ammonia thrice a day, are valuable tem
porary remedies.
