COL. NOTT’S EXPERIENCE -IN
TEXAS.
Chas. C. Nott was Col. of the ITCtii N.
Y. V. and before the war was a Lawyer of
some prominence. He \vas taken prisoner
atßrashoar La., and since ilia relurn has
written an aeconnt of’his prison l life, ])?c
turing “the better side of everything, ami
left out only tbe unpleasant parts of bis
imprisonment.” We give below some ex
tracts :
‘The red flag of ourhospitai was not! un
derstood by the assaulting party, and for a
little while it looked as if no quarter would
be given by tbe wild Texans to ouk sick
and wounded. A wild looking squad,
broad hats and jangling spurs,. rushed, rep
volver in hand,upon tho building, In no.
Very decided mood at the time, and acting,
chiefly from tho military habit of looking
to some one in authority, I asked sharply
if there was nn efficir among them. ’ ’L'liey
stopped, looked a t,giSe ,discpncp,rt^d,, and
one answered that be was a sergeant..
yf ‘T4We*fta-,i)Ospit%l ) ’ ,1 aulhoritn,-
tively.i ‘Sergeant, put two men on guard
at th door, a.Tid tlon’t <let ;any but the
wounded pass in.’
“Well, then, Dill,’ said the sergeant; ‘you
and Jdhn stand guard here. And now Se‘6
you don’t let nobody.gq in Atnless they ‘ bd
wounded.’ v
i “About the same instant another, squiul
rushed to aside window and poked thdir
rifles through the’sash. ‘Dr. Willcits, the
surgeon of the 176th* kit the motneiit was

owes its crown of intelligence. These are
tihe chief bulwarks of free society—the
mightiest, most powerful agencies of ghrisf
. landom. Indebted to religion, per nans, for
their belter spirit and morality, it is t,oV
Exaggerating to say that religion is deeply
indebted for its diffusion to them. Hoth
educators and disseminators, their functions
’’are still .measurably different—the school
laying the basis of knowledge, and the news-
I paper spreading knowledge, with unparal
leled speed and universality, among men.
It is now a little over four cent uries since
printing commenced its annals, and some
thousands of years since book nvakihg be-
{an ; yet,it is safe to sfty that newspapers,
ithin the half century past, liave done
more for the diffusion of essential knowl
edge, and to make it the common property
and blessing of mankind, than all thb ages
Ef books. So too, though Universities date
Sack into the dimness of time, und acade
iies are as old as the f J classic groves ’! of
iellas, modern common schools have trau-.
ceuded them all in universalizing intelli
gence. Schools and newspapers are the
grandest of new time institutions ; and to
I how that they are new time institutions we
eed but quote what (ioir. Berkeley, of ViR
ginia, wrote to King Charles, in 1671 : “1
tliauk God there are no free schools nor
printing presses hero !” And lie thanked
God for it, hoping “ there would not be
these three hundred years, for learning
breeds- up heresies, sects, and all denomina
tions.”
i And,ft was one huiqdred y.tgig&.au.i) more
before Tree schools or newspapers were at
Eli common in our country. Jlut what a
Revolution since the days of the old Gover-
in politics, government, news
papers and schools. Less than two centu
ries and the New World is rid-of Kings and
parliament; and while every hamlet has its
free school—or school open to all—there
r.re about five thousand newspapers pnb
islifed in the land! It is enough to make
the ghost of Berkley wince, and wmuld as
tonish the shades of Guttemburg acid Faust,
iwere they penetrable.
Let us, therefore, be thankful that we
in an age when free schools and news
papers are all arouud us, as beacons and
shields. Let U 9 sustain the schoolmaster
and encourage the printer—multiply the
schools and extend the circulation of the
bewspaper, and freedom and knowledge
shall flourish. —Editor Columbia County Re

How to Breathe.
: There is one rule to be observed’ in ta
king exercise by walking—tho very Tiest
Torm in which it can be taken by the young
and able-bodied of all ages—and that is,
nelver to allow the action of respiration to
be carried on through the mouth. The nn
sal passages are clearly the medium through*
twhich ; respiration was, by our Creator,
designed to be parried on. “God breathed
into man’s nostrils the breath of,life!’, .pre
vious to his becoming a living creature.—
The difference in the exhaustion of strength
by a long walk with the month firmly closed
and respiration carried on through the nos
trils instead of through the mouth, is in
conceivable to those who have never tried
1 the experiment. Indeed, this mischievous
and really unnatural habit of carrying dn
the work of inspiration and expiration
through the moutb, instead of through the
nasal passages, is the true origin of almost
aU the diseases of the throat and lungs, as
bronchitis, congestion, asthma, and oven
Consumption fitself. Tjiat excessive, per
spiratioa to which some individuals are so
liable in their sleep, which is so ; weakening
to the body, is solely the effect of such per-
BOnh Sleeping with their mouths unclosed.
And the same unpleasant and exhaustive
Results arise to the animal system from
walking with the mouth open, instead of,
when not engaged in conversation, preserv
ing the lips iu a state of firm but quiet
compression. As tho heat, and velocity of
the bipod through the lungs depend almost,
entirely upon the quantity of the atmos
pheric air inhaled with each inspiration,
and it is xinavoidable that it should be ta
ken in, in volume, by the month, while it
can only be supplied in moderate quantities
and just in sufficient proportion to serve the
purpose of a healthy respiratory action,
while supplied through the uostrilg, ft is
Clear that the body must bo much lightcr
and cooler, and the breathing much freer
. and easier, when tho latter course rather
than the former is the one adopted. Chil
dren bught never to be allowed to stand or
walk with their mouths open ; fdr besides
Ithe vacaut appearance it gives to the cotm
tenauce, it is the certain precursor of coughs,
colds, and sore throats.
j -uoif. it ■1 A Happy Home. 1
A pleasant and sensible writer says that
' in a happy home there will be no fault-find
ing, over-bearing spirit—there will be no
peevishness nor fretfulness. Unkiudness
. will not dwell in the heart or be ou thq.
tongue. 0, the tears, the sighs, the wast
ing of life and health, atrength and time, of
all that is most to be desired iu a happy
home, occasioned merely by unkind words?
The celebrated Mr. Wesley remarks to this
! effect, namely, that fretting and scolding
‘ iseem like tearing the flesh from the bones,
and that we havo no more right to be guiL
ty of this sin. than we have to curse a*d
swear and steal. In ft perfect, happy home
all selfishness will bo removed. Even as.
, i“ Christ pleased not himself,” so the mem
. biers of a happy home will not seek first to - :
> 'plhafee themselves, but will seek to please
each other, v •
Cheerfulness is another ingredient iffn
happy horile. How much does a sweet smfle
emanating from a heart fraught with love
tond kindness, ’contribute to render a home 1
happy ? -How attractive, how soothing Is '
that sweet cheerfulucs that is borne ou the 1
couuteuauce of wife and mother I How do
the parent and child, the brother and sister,
the mistress and servant, dwell with delight
on those cheerful looks, those confiding :
smiles that beam from the eye and burst ’
from the inmost soul of those who are near
and dear.'- How it hastens the return of 1
the father lightens tho cares of the mother ■
renders it more easy fur youth to resist:
temptation, aud drawu by the cords of a,f- (i
fection, how it induces them with loving '
hearts to return to the parental rdof. U :
that parents would lay this Subject to heart >
—by untiring effort they would so far reddl*
er home more happy, that their childreu and
domestics shall not look for happiness in
'forbidden paths!
