II I IM-JM.mmni ! I L_L_L- J. u THE OLD ACCOUNT BOOK. , DY .MBS. M. W. STBATTOX. ] 1 Into did bold an account book old, ( And I scanned eaoh crowded page, , And conld have wept o'er the record kept Of the follies of youth and age. The items there too well laid bare ( What else were nercr told* The reason why so many die ! Not leaving lands or gold. t And with each name to mcni'ry came < Home face long pnssed away, ( That well I knew, and valued too, In childhood's trusting day ; But as I look iu that old book, < New thoughts chase old ones on ; Those pages tell it had been well If some had sooucr gone. / } Of many a face with sorrow's trace, I Of many a troubled brow, And of hidden care, where all looked fair, 1 I can road the story new : I Why many a wifo, whoso path of life < Seemed 'neath a cloudless sky, , E'en when she smiled upon her child, .Seemed choking down a sigh. llow laughing men could cluster'tlicn < Within a brilliant loom, i And light and guy and lmppy they, When all at homo waa gloom ; And thcro I see the wine flowed freo For thoso who could not pay 1 An honest debt, though they could yet Throw twice as much away. I No wonder, now, a lover's vow Was late or never kopt; 'Tis written here how ho did fear A fiend who never slept; How liubit's chain he tried in vain i To break or throw aside, j And then at last must from him cast A lovo worth nil beside, ( These pages tell why many fell f From stations proud and high, t Nor left a name a son could claim <, Wi?li an uplifted 03*0 ; _ IIow men could be so fair to sec, Their good heart's running o'er, v Till some quick crash, some lightning flash, < Showed ashes at the core. J Oh, many a word in chidhood's hour A meaning finds at last; The records here too well can clear " Some mysteries of the past! I Away old book ! I will not look t Upon thy pages more ; v They will not leave the right to grieve jj For one lost fricud of yoro, li Now ye who read I pray you heed i The truthful words 1 say? || The kind of men who flourished tlicu v 4re plenty here to-day. t Your son may look in some old book And sec the season why 0 lie need not weep that note you sleep, li Hut did not toontr die.

Not u drum was heard, because the drum mer was uot fecliug very well and asked t< bo excused, uor a funeral note of any kiud is ins corpso to the rauiparts we hurried not a single, solitary son of a gun of a sol licr discharged his farewell shot o'er tin uravc where the remains of the lute Mr Moore were deposited. The farewell sho business was omitted on accouut of the grca scarcity of ammunition. We buried bin darkly at dead of night, and did tho bes job wo could for hiui .under'the circuui stances. We could not borrow, beg o steal a pick or shovel in the entire neigh borhood, and were obliged to turn tho sod: with our bayonets, which, by the way, wa: the first thiug that had been turned bj said bayonets since we had been drafted We did this all by the struggling moon [team's misty light, and the lautcrn dimly juruiug, with just about half enough oil it t, and a strip of au old fiauucl undershirt or a wick. Few and short were the pray trs we said, the Chaplain bciug home on r urlough, and uo ono within forty uiiles tc ake his place. We spoko not a word ol orrow, our time being somewhat limited, s the enemy was not fur distant, and ad ancing with giant strides. We thought, s we hollowed his narrow bed and smoothed [own his lonely pillow with a canteen that he foe and the stranger would tread o'er lis head and we far away on the billow ; but lot too far, however, as tho cuemy outnumicred us about seven to one. Lightly hcy'll talk of the spirit that's srono, and vouucr wncre tncy cau get another llask illcd with the same, and o'er his cold ashes ipbraid him, knowing, of course, that ho is n no conditiou to defend himself; but little ic'll reck if they let him sleep on in a grave rhcrc a Briton has laid him, and not bother iim to get up and take out a burial permit r ask him to pay ground rent. We wish iore to|corrcct the impression that slowly and adly we laid him down from the field ol is fame fresh aud gory. We did no such hing. The corpse was washed and put in ;ood shape, aud we defy any man to show hut there was a drop of goro about him.? t is true that we carved uot a lino aud we aised not a stone, because there was no toneinason haudy who would do the job t reasonable figures. About this time we card by the distaut and random gun thai ho foe was sullenly firing, so we adjourned lie funeral, and left the deceased alone in is glory, and made ourselves scarce in thai icinity.?

A Miracle Siiowino the Efficacy e Prayer.?Wilmington, Del., Feb. 8.? lins 31inuio Lombard, nineteen years old esiding at 7T0 Joffbrson street, in this city 'ho lias been blind for two years, has re ovcred her sight in a most remarkable lanner. She was afflicted with typhoid jver, which weakened the optic nerves tc uch an extent that, with the recovery rom the fever 6he gradually lost her sight nd became totally blind. She was giver lie best medical attention, but without vail. The physicians could ouly give hci slight hope that she might some day re ain her sight, but were powerless to rendei ny aid. She is a member of St. Paul*! Icthodist Episcopal Church,and the church as made her cause a special subject ol raycr. Oh Tuesday night last, previoui o retiring, Miss Lombard hud been reading f Christ's restoring sight to the blind, nnc he promise, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in mj nine, believing, ye shall receive," and with full reliance iu His power and wisdom j ?i_ .1?l if _?- it:. iic fiiajcu uui iiusujr iuai/, 11 lb wuiu nu nil. her own eyes might be reopened.? She awoke with n hcadacho. Her tnothei mthed her head and she fell asleep a pain Vhcn she awoke her sight was perfectly cstorcd. She is a consistent Christian nd naturally attributes her sudden rccov ry to a special interposition of Divin< 'rovideuce. 9 Who and What tiie Afghans are ?The Afghans are tall, of large and well ;uit frames, muscular and hardy.

The beauty of yonng Al ^hans is frequently spoken of by Eastern wri :crs, but it would seem from the very na ;ure of things as though this glowing dc icription^nust bo overdrawn; just as th tiaudsomo, pensive young Uncus of ou well-beloved West Indian romancer, Jauie b'cnimorc Cooper, can hardly bo recognizor in the modern Modoc.

I A SIMPLE REMEDY THAT IS ALWAYi AVAILABLE, j John S. Wiles, a surgeon of Thorncombe s Dorset, writes to the Loudon Timet:? "After two out of nino or ten cases of ntal ignant diphtheria had provod fatal, I saw ai ' extract fVom au American paper concern iug a practitioner who used sulphur to cur tho iscase. I used milk of sulphur for in fant8 and flour of sulphur for older childrci and adults, brought to a creamy consisteuo 3 with glyceriuo; doso, a teaspoonful or more ' according to ago, three or lour times a daj 1 slowly swallowed, and also applied to th nostrils with a spoulge ; and did not lose i case thero or olscwhcro, and saved live: wheu the disease had almost blocked th throat. That sulphur will do all that i here claimed for it 1 know ; and I wis] ' every one who has, or may have, a case u ' this disease, to use it and bo convinced.? Every one, liviug in Plymouth, years age when this disease broke out in the farnil | of,Mr. John Allcu with such fatal results t need not be told of tho panic that seizei { alike physician and people. It was th t same at Dearborn, and iu every communit which it cutcrcd. Tho Physicians knei nothing of it, aud every two out ot thre cases pfWVed'fatal. I kept from my chil dren(who were small) all knowlcdgo of th B | discaso and pauic, that imugiuatiou shouli not create the symptoms, and so doctorci the first, kuowing thorn real. Wo had fou genuiuo cassc of diphtheria that winter, no " knowing them to be such til!, years after when I bad plenty of chances to loam al , tlie details of this disease. My mother ka< always cured sore throats with dry sulphur I had douo the same in my family, and not it was uiy first resort. Two of tho case P yielded readily and were well iu two or thro days ; two lasted, one 10, the other 12 days ' with that low, intense fever so dreaded ii this disease j sinco then, I h ive trcate* J many eases of it, knowing what it was, an< always with the same result?a speed; ' cure.

I belicv it to be just as good for the scarlet feve sore throat?but have had less cxporicuc , with it for that.

Sohejumpc ' ashore when the boat lauded, and with , great show of fierceness approached th j fellow.

The gawky lazily opened his eyes i wondering amazement at fir?t as though h dide't understand it.
