The Shadows in the Valley.
BY II. L. FLASH.
There’s a mossy, shady valley.
Where the waters wind and flow,
And the jjaisies sleep, in w inter,
’Neath a coverlid ot .snow—
And violets, blue eyed violets.
Bloom in beauty in the spring.
And thesnnbeems kiss the wavelets.
Till they seem to laugh and sing.
But in autumn, when the sunlight,
Crowns die cedar cover- d hill.
Shadows darken in the v Hey—
Shadows ominous and still;
And the yellow leaves, like banners,
Of an Elfindirfst, that’s fled.
Tinged with gold and royal purple,
Flutter sadly oveihead.
And these shadows, gloomy shadows!
Like dim phantoms on the ground,
Btrctch their dreamy lengths forever.
On a daisy covered mound.
And I loved her— yes! I loved her,
But the angels loved her, too,
Bo *be’s sleeping in the valley,
’Neatu the sky so bright and blue.
And no slab cf pallid marble.
Rears its white and ghastly head,
Telling wanderers in the valley,
Of the virtues of the dead;
But a Tilly is her tombstone,
And a dew drop, pure and bright,
Ip the epitaph an angel wrote,
Jn the stillness of the night.
And I’m mournful—very mournful—
For my soul doth ever crave;
For the fading, of theshadows,
Fiom that little woodland grave;
For the memory of the loved one/
From my soul will never part;
And those shadows in the valley,
Dim the sunshine of my heart.

PBOCLAMATION- '
TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA
Headquarters,
Atlanta, June 24th, 1S64. (
I am infonnedby the old men iu diffe
rent parts of t he State that there are occa
sional instances of militia and civil officers
who have failed to report at Atlanta as di
rected by the order contained iu my Procla
mation on that subject. The 14th Sec
tion of the Act of 14th December, 1S63,
to re-organize the Militia, declares, TTiat
any militiaman ordered into active service,
whether by order of the Goverucr or upon
requisition from the President of the Con
federate States, who shall fail or refuse af
ter due notice to enter said service, or be
ing therein, shall leave the service with
out permission, shall be liable to betiied
and punished as a deserter, and subject to
to all the pains and penalties imposed up
on deserters in the Bi les ami Articles of
War for the Government of the Ai my of
tlife Confederate States.
That those who have refused to en/ir
the service when ordered may he compell
ed to do so immediately or suffer the penal
ties in said Act contained, I hereby direct
all Aids de Camp who are ordered to the
discharge of their duty at home, or are at
home on leave of abfence, and all persons
belonging to the Division of Militia who
are absent on furlough or detail, to see that
all such officers able to do duty are arres
ted and sent without delay to the Head
quarters of Major General Smith, Com
manding the Division. For the purpose
the Aids-de-Camp are authorized to order
any of the non-commissioned officers or re
served militia to make such arrests and
convey such persons to the Division Head
quarters.
As the Judges of title Supreme, Superior
and Inferior Courts, Ordinaries, Solicitors
General, Sheriffs, Clerks of the Superior
and Inferior Courts, Tax Collectois and
lleceivers, Reporter and Clerk of the Su
preme Court, and members and officers of
the General Assembly, are by the statute
of the State, exempt from iriilitia duty, I
earnestly request them to aid in arresting
and sending to General Smith all militia
officers who have»not reported, and all
civil officers under fifty years of age who
are subject to militia duty, and have failed
to rcpoit. The fact that a civil or militia
officer is exempt from Confederate con
scription by reifton of his having given the
bond as owner of fifteen bands, as provi
ded by Act of Congress, or for other
causes, does not exempt him from State
militia service.
Wbeu the officers subject have generally
obeyed the call and reported, justice

MittcLv retlHires every , M n at the front l.iulgatcd U.C idea of d.ss
tlie trade of weavers. For years their
food has been altogether insufficient,
being composed solely of potatoes;
they were reduced to such a state of
wretchedness«« to become to some ex
tent degenerated. Fortunately the
medical men of the country cooceived
the idea of placing them under a course
of coffee. The trial succeeded beyond
all expectation, and the weavers of
Riesen-Berg have no longer cause to
envy the health and strength of the
workmen of other countries. For the
purpose of facilitating the acquisition
ot that salutary substance of the poor
mountaineers, the Austrian Govern
ment has recently abolished the duties
that used to be levied on the importa
tion of cofiee. -
Coffee, says JVF. .deCusparin, renders
tlie elements of our organism more
stable. It is observed that, under the
influence of coffee, the produce of the
secretions is more than fluid., the re
spiration less active', and consequently
the loss undergone by the absorbed
substances less rapid. A diminution
of animal heat has ever been observed
under similar circumstances. This last
consequence helps us to understand
the utility of coffee in hot countries
where the temperature is so difficult
to bear that it seems to wear out the
springs of life. Our military and na
val authorities have made coffee form
a part of the rations' of our soldiers
and sailors, on active service, aud have
reason to be satisfied with the result.
The use of coffee has been of immense
benefit to our troops, as well in the
African deserts as in the Crimea, in
Italy, and fn China-; the crews of our
fleets have also derived the same by)
gicnic advantages. It is of infinite
value to our soldiers in Mexico, and
principally in the Sierra Callente, at
Vera .Cruz,, that hot bed of yellow
fever. *
As man advances in life, the bony
tissue diminishes in quantity. We
know, for instance, how easy the bones
of old people are fractured. This ac
cident is consequent on the slight re
sistance offered by the bone, which
becomes weakened by the diminution
of the organs. Now to point out the
consequence of this disappearance of
the bony substance in persons of ad
vanced age. The phosphoric parti
cles of the bones are absorbed, carried
away in the circulating torrent and
molecules thus moved along by the
blood, and by obliterating the small
Wood vessels or capillary tubes. One

M. Petit is of the opinion that it is
