AN ANCIENT* TOAST.
It was a grand day in the old chivalric time.
The wine circled around the board in a noble hall,
and the sculptured walls tang with sentiment
and song. The lady of each knightly heart was
pledged by' name, and many a syllable significant
of loveliness had been uttered, until it came to St.
Leou’a turn, when, lifting the sparkling cup on
high:
*‘I drink to one,” he said,
“Whose image never may depart,
Deep graven on a grateful heart.
Till memory is dead ”
“To one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have passed.
Bo hoiy "tis and true;
To one ivhoso love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt,
Than any pledged by you.”
Each guest upstarted at the word.
And laid a hand upon his sword.
With fiery flashing eye:
And Stauley said. “We crave the name.
Proud knight , of this most peerless dame
Whose love you count so high.”
St. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood
Thus lightly to another ;
Then bent his noblo head as though
To give that word the reverence due,
And gently said, “My Mother !”

THE GER5IAN MOTHER
Hear what a German mother said,
Wiidly waving a banuer red,
As her country’s host went trailing past,
With rolling drums and trumpet blast:
“Come forth, my sons, come join the band
Who battle for our fatherland !
Come, leave the pLw ! come clutch the sword I
Three noble youths came at her word.
The first is sunk in his last sleep :
The second rots in dungeon deep ;
The youngest, wounded, writhes in pain—
Ah, he will never walk again!
“What recks it?” said that mother gray—
“Their name and mine shall live for aye;
They fought for fatherland and right,
And God accepts my widow’s mite."

adoption of a less dangerous, because

Organized squads, usually from four

the banacks, they opened fire on the

a man was detailed to throw a blank

Romanhc Adventures of an Austrian

How often has it been said and writ
ten, that “Truth is siranger than fic
tion and every day further verifies
and corroborates the axiom. The ele
ments ot actual romance pervades ev
erything around us, and event and ac
cident sometimes give biith to occur
rences and incidents that seem truly
astounding. Every day men become
richer and men become poorer. With
one flash of the telegraph, hundreds
are ruined, and, consequently, others
become enriched. But, it is not our
purpose, at present, lo deal with gen
eralities and,speculations,but to narrate
as accurately as possible, an event that
has startled our German citizens from
their usual propriety, and caused them
for a time, lo forget their local church

_ From tiall's Join a-it of Fhalth.
Uuration of Life.
The a verage duration of file of man,
in civilized society, is about thirty-three
and a third years. This is called a
generation—making three in a century.
But there are certain localities and
communities of people where this av
erage is considerably extended. The
mountaineer lives longer than the low-
lander ; the farmer than the artisan :
the traveller than the sedentary ; tin-
temperate than the self-indulgent ; the
just than the dishonest. “The wicked
shall not live out half hts days,” is th»>
announcement of Divinity. The phi
losophy of this is found in the fact that
the moral power has a siiong power
over the physical, a power much more
controlmg than is generally imagined.
The true man conducts himself iu
the light ot Bible precepts, is “temper
ate in all things is “slow to anger
and on his grave is written : “went
about doing good.” In these three
things are the great elements of hu
man health; the restraints of the ap
petites ; the control of the passions ;
and that highest type of physical exei
eise, “going about doing good,” It i,
said of the eminent Quaker philanthro
pist, Joseph J. Gurney, that the labor
and pains lie took to go and see per
sonally the objects of Lis contemplated
charities, so that none of them should
he unworthily bestowed, was of itself
almost the labor of one man. and lie m-

Thus goaded, proverbial Yankee in
genuity advanced another step—it
might be termed a stride.
The old barracks were wheeled into
parallel lines, new ones built, and the
kitchen buildings abolished, a few feel
being partitioned off from each barrack
to subserve our moderate culinary ne
cessities. This increased the capacity
of the prison to 12,000 men. Every
building and object of size was elevat

Tunneling was at an end.
A new fence was run, also, across

were powerless to serve in our escape.
Bribery lor escape was rendered im
possible.
After these herculean labors, the
Yankee intellect reposed wearily. Con
federate resources, however, continued
active. Check-mated at two vital
points, the ragged sons of war survey
ed the field anew. The passage under
the fence wa9 barred; but nothing
thought struck liiui that he had no
chickens,and he was powerfully fond
of sucking raw eggs. He was too hon
est to steal them, and too mean to buy
them. At last the thought struck him
—he could borrow. He went to a
neighbor and thus accosted hitn :
“Wall, I reckon you hain’igot no old
hen nor nothin’you’d lend me fora lew

Major. In the mouth of September of
that year, he was insulted at a levee
by the Colonel of his regiment. Proud
and high-spirited, he resented the in
sult, and a challenge was passed be
tween the two officers. They met—
pistols at teu paces—and the Colopel
fell. With great difficulty Yechter
eluded the authorities, and at length
escaped to England. There he re
mained but a short lime, and finding
no suitable employment, he embarked
for the United States, and upon his ar
rival, proceeded to Chicago, He ar
rived there the day the intelligence of
the fall of Fort Sumtet flashed through
the country, and his means being near
ly exhausted, he enlisted m the 9lh Il
linois, then being organized. The man
who had worn the epaulets of an Aus
trian officer, for more than three years,
carried a musket in the ranks of that
battalion, and was severely wounded
at the battle of Pittsburg Landing.—
When he was mustered out, lie obtain

dured many vicissitudes incident lothe
lot of a laboring man. He feared lo
write to his relatives, as the Austrian
government might learn of his wherea
bouts and cause his apprehension un
der the extradition treaty, and so he
suffered and toiled in silence, until fi
nally he found himself in Galesburg
carrying a hod on the new hotel.
The packet he received yesterday,
contained a full pardon under the sign
manual of the Emperor. The Colonel
had only been severely wounded, and

^ttll it is encouraging
lo know that the science of life, as re-
\ ealed by the investigations of ihe phy
siologist and the teachings ot educated
medical men, is steadily extending the
period of human existence.
The distinguished historian, Macau
lay, stales that in 186-5, one person in
twenty died each year; in I860,
of forty persons, only one died. Du-
pin says, that from 1776 to IS-U, ih«*
duration of file in France increased
fifty-two days annually, for in 17-31 the
mortality was one in twenty nine
1S42, on in forty. The rich
France live forty-two years on
erage, the poor only thirty. Those
who are “well to do”“in the world, live
about eleven years longer than those
who have to work from dav to day for
a living. Remunerative labor and dil
f usion of the knowledge of the laws ot
life among the masses with temper
ance and thrift, are the great means of
adding to human health and life ; but
the more important ingredient, happi
ness, is only lo he found in daily lov
ing, obeying and serving Him “who
giveth us all things richly to enjoy.”

in cases where the stomach rejects almost

while patients learn to long for it and like
