Hut what at tracted our attention most, was t ho figure of a tall man btatidin on thehreastworks, ilressed iu liucy wotdscy, with buckskin lein, aud u broad rimmed lelt hat that fell around his face, almost couceal in his features, lie wa. etandiuiii one ofthoe tetureMtic and graceful atti tudes, reculinr to the natural mctt dwell ers in the forest. The body rested on the left le. and wayed with it curved litie upwards; the rii:ht arm w.i exten ded, the hand rasjin the rifle near the muzzle, the butt ot which rested near the foe of his rijiht tior, while with hi Itand he raised the rim of his hat from his eyes, aud seemed szin from beneath in tensly upon our- advancing column. The cannon of (Jen.

The roar of cannon seemed t bavo no effect utu the figure Mandin on the cotton bales, but hegecmed iiied aud mo tionless as a statue. At last ho moved, threw back li"w hat rim over the crown with his I ft hand, raised the rifle to his sh'iuidcr, and took aim at our j;rouj. Our c)cs freru riveted on hhu. At vhu had he leveled his piece? Hut the distance was go jrrfat that we looked at each other and Mi.iled. We saw the rifle flash, mid my riht baud compattioii, as r;b?c hsij. tn a fellow as ever rie at the head of a regiment, fell fr.cn hissaddlo, Tle hun ter patted a few inijiiictitK. without tnovii. his :uu from hi fchoul Itr, then rchudi'd aud resumed his former attitude.

Once uiore the hat rim was thrown back and the uu raided to the Mhou) :er. This time we did not smile, but cast short glance at enh other, to ffee which of us riiuit die; and when the rifle ac n fl i-he l. another of us drop, ped tttheeurth.

So long as thousands und thousands of rifles remain in the hands of the people, so long u men come up from their child hood, able, ere the down appears on the chin, to hit the centre of a mark, or strike the deer at one hundred and fifty yards in the most vital part," ho long as there bra great proportion of the Repub lic who live as free us the wild Indian, knowing no leader but of their own choos ing; knowing no law but that of right, aud the honorable obscryapee of friendly in tercourse, America is urjconaucrabje; and all the armies of tlio combined, world, though tl;ey might drive them from the sea poast and across the Alleghany mountains, would jjot be ablo to subdue the free-souled hunter , among the moun tains, great prairies, aud mighty rivers of the West.

All theso things, and more, were permitted by the Democratic party when it was Ac "I'uwer in the land." Arrets for expression of opinion were unknown, and the l'res was as free in its utterance as a healthy man's respirations. N'or was such toleration limited by the Democratic "party to ti e exercise of the powers of the Government, but was exten ded by its individual member to social intercourse and business tran-actiotis. The Democrat stopped not to eiopiire whether the dry gssjs merchant, the gro cer. the butler or tho employe entertained political views in accoril with his own. mr did hepriscribe thoc of opposite polities in the common amenities of life.

Men of the strongest minds really believed theso things; and hdes of. delicate fancies were impressed to an extent accordant with fragile organization. Theso fellows pro tended to curtail manner of diseases, and to reveal secrets from tho dead. ' cy made such an impression, even unon in tellects otherwise sound, that hundreds were actually undct the belief that they had enjoyed interviews with tho departed.

Of all hard daily workers, the heart and lungs are the most persevering. From day to day, front youth to old ago they toil away with scarcely n moment's intermis sion, and, gentle and almost imperceptible as their labors appear, tho amount they get through is something enormous. The heart is n most powerful pump, throwing out at every beat five or six ounces of blood,- In twenty-four hours it pumps out in this waya quantity which is estimated at from fourteen to nineteen tons; and the force which it exerts in doing so would be sufficient 'to raiso fourteen packs of coals io tho top of tho , Monument ! The lungs,, too. the bellow of the animal machine, although they do not do more than one-tenth of the work the heart ac complishes, contribute .Very materially o the total. Other kinds of work arc also being done in the bisly, the amount of which we are not yet able to estimate. ' Mcutal work,' for instance, ha been ex perimentally proved to be, in part, at least nptual physjcul labor ezhausding the pow- crs of the hody as effectually, though not to so great extent, as the more mechanical form of labor. The heat which a human being develop in a day various exceed ingly, and its amount has not been very accurately determined; but for an adult iu good health, and upon a moderate diet, wc cannot be far wrong in estiuuttug tt'to be equal to the raising of five gallons and a half id water from freezing point to boil ing point. 2Sow the quantity of work which a definite amount of heat is capable of doing : perfectly well known. The heat which would raise one pound of water ouedegree Fahrenheit, would if it were em ployed in doing work a it U in a steam engine, raiec oue pound weight 772 feet or what is the same thing, 772 pounds 1 foot. Measured by this standard we find that the beat which would raise five and a half gallons of ic;-cold water to a boiling point would bo enough to lift 3.412 tous otic foot high, or to put the fact in anoth er form, to bout 17U sack of coal to the top of the monument. Wc can uow clas sify, in a rude kind of manner, the chief varieties of work which are done in the body. It is not uccessary for our present purpose to enumerate the less important kind of work. This we have seen is the greatest in amount. It probably conti tute not les tJian four-fifth of the wh ile work of the body. 2. Internal Work, including, as the chief items the action of the heart and lung. 3. External Work. The actual mechanical labor performed, for tho most part, under the direction of the will some kind of external jfork cannot a - ' a .a' s well he estimated, out the whole, ye are ablo to make a fair approximation to the whole amount. .4 Mental Work.- a n a As to the uiccuattical v.niuo ot which we are still entirely iu the dark, but tohich is probably iucousidcrablc iu amount. Itsxsf of Interest and Qonij, An old author quaintly remarks: "Avoid argument with tho ladies. In spinning yarns among silks aud satins, a man i sure to be worsted and twisted; he may consider himself wound up." Lucy Stone once said : ' There is cot ton in the cars of man, and hope in the bos'im of women." Lucy made a mistake, and got thi cotton in tho wrong place. An Irishman who was near sighted and was about to fight a duel, insisted that ho should stand six paces nearer to his an tagonist than tho latter did to hiui.
