On , y the morning of the INOt of December, fa crossed the Rappahannock river, and ' t commenced the first Frederick*. ' | i battle. That night our regiment 1 , was ordered to the front to keep ranks j closed up and not fire a gun. We marched, j facing a severe fire, until within forty j yards of tho enemy, when from • their rific pits, they opened a volley of | r musketry upon us, a perfect alirct of | f flame. We then received orders to return 1 the fire, which we did and kept it up about ! c half an hour, when the enemy ceased i < firing. We then received orders to fall j 'I back and form a new line of battle and | < tried to find who wan mining, and sent j a men back to get the wounded. While f in the act of doing IhaL received orders « to foil back to the railroad, which was ' mile in tlic rear. After wc got I there, forty men out of the regiment ant) i four out of our company volunteered to go back to the field and bring ofl the v wounded, but the rebels had thrown I out their pickets and taken possession t of the field, and fired on those who at- I tempted to get back. They were com- ' pcllcd to return to the regiment. We I then fell back to the city, where wc laid I out in a field on our arms all night. Not * until next day did we find out the exact ' loas of our company, which was two < killed — Sergeants Albert 8. Edmunds t and Edward S.Townsend. The wounded 1 were Corporal, C. F. Ludlam, Piivatci, Daniel II. While, Sumucl Horn, Jos. 8. < Iltgbee, Jonathan Hoffman, Jeremiah Tyler, W. F. Smith, James S. Eldrcdgc. Joseph Garrison was taken a prisoner while on picket dnty. Four sons of Cape May supported the i colore during the battle: Sergeant Aaron Learning, carried the State flag ; Corporals Holmes, Reeves anil Shoemaker, were color guards. We stood by our arms that day expecting every moment to be aent into the field, bnt no order* came to-Advance, the piincipsl fighting of the day being between the pickets on Sunday night. Our company stowed away in a small story and a half house, thankful for a night's sleep. Monday morning pasaed aa the preceding dav. occasionally the enemy would be a little careless and let fly a bomb into the city which luckily injured no one. In the afternoon, squads were detailed fiom each company to search the city and gather all the old iron that could be found, wliich was deposited in the river. About sunset the regiment was ordered • to go out on picket, the city was to be evacuated. In the morning the pickets ■- fell back across the river and took up the pontoon bridges; after three hours | tiresome march we gained our camp ■ and pl'ched onr slieltr tents ; four days I after the battle our forces crossed, the I river under fisg of truce to bury our J dead. The man detailed from our com I pany was instructed to bring the body I of our Sergeant, Albert S. Edmunds, If I possible to recognise it, but so long a I time bad elapsed it was out of the quesI tion to 1*11 one from another. Trenches I were dug and comrxdes were laid in then, J side by e.,I c their last resting place.

It Is to tlic mind ! what good health is to the body. I*utting a man in the capacity of enjoying ' everything that is agreeable to life, and of using every faculW without im- ' pediment. It disposes to contentment c to our lot, to benevolence to all men, to r sympathy with the distressed. It prc8 scnts every obj.ct in the most favorable 8 tight, and disposes us to avoid giving or taking offence. There is a disposition opposite to good humor, whleh we ■ call bad humor, of which the tendency is directly contrary, and thereforfc Itsine fluence is malignant as Ibat'of the other 8 is salutary. Bad humor -alone is suffl p clent to make a man unlisppy; It tl«ges every object with its own dismal color p and, like a part that is galled, is hurt by everything that toadies. .

The arteries I- carry blood to the nose quicker tliin the s vclos carry it back. The blood, thereJ> fore, remains congested in the over filled vessels, and the nose, and the face as >f well, becomes habitually red. Whew a Is dram drinker's nose meets a sudden curie rent of cold air, it immediately turns ic purple, and io 'remains until warm air r. restores the red color. The red nose is ; caused by congestion, nni^it. is a true :i sample of i . i > »rge i itrthe boily. . -The saloon is an i nemj - ' ihe Church ^ of God. It keeps whole fo-il's from m the sanctuary.

Prat. He Modified Hla Prayer. A little fellow Who, 'like moit children at that time, had been looking eagerly ( forward to Christmas, had implicit faith , in the generosity of Santa Claus, and had been racking his small brain for , some lime to determine what he had r best ask Hie good old man to biingtmn. One mo ning.la-t week bis molhcrfound B him in the parlor, where the lire had . gone out, witn the stove door open and his face at the aperture, saying: r "Plcathe, Thanta Clauth, bring me a tbied, a pair of big wubber boots, thum B candy, a tlilatc, and manma a new r dweth!" (. "Why, Tommy," said his mother, i. "Santa Claus cannot afford to bring you ail those things. You should not ask forRo much. It's selfish."

Tho Maid And The Highwayman. It was a giddy, gushing girl from New York, witli an amplitude of bang and a scarceness --f vocabulary, which allowed at once her romantic tendencies. She sparsely settled regions of the coun- " oil!" she ssiil to her mother, "I do wonder whether we are going t" make this whole trip without even the sign of an adventure. Wouldn't it be horrid." Her mother informed her that she the girl didn't -'■cm to mind II In the least. In the course of the next hour, however, tlic conch stopped suddenly and the inu/xlo of n pistol was shoved ' the door. "Sorry to trouble yon, ladies," said man whose head followed the pistol, "but if you've got any valuables, them's what we want, an' we're a little pressed "Oh. Mamma, at last wc have found real highwayman," said the girl with a dclightedsbjislj. I "You're a real live robber, aren't yon?" "Well,! reckon that's what I'm called."

The mi.'tresa was allowing an old friend over the house, when tho hitter said to the cook: "You have a nice, quiet place here, i Margaret, with none of tho noise of the ' old house." i "It's 'he noise of the city that I'm af1 tcr likin* mesctf, ma'am," returned Marr garct sourly. i "Do you ?" said the lady, pleasantly; "oh I don't; I can't stand the rattle and i tlic roar of the noisy streets of the city." , "Very likely not," Margaret assented, : grimly; "1 spose most likely your brain ' isn't as strong as mine, ma'am-" a Renews Her Youth, a Mrs. Phu'bc Chesley, Peterson, Clay f Co.. Iowa, tells the following remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched for by the, residents of the town: "I am , 73 years old, have been troubled with J kidney complaint and lameness for many years; could not dress myself without help.
