We learn that there are a number of Temperance Societies in the various regiments. while there are whole regiments that refuse to touch a drop of ardent spirits and hence it was that the remark was so signally responded to.

Toh Hikdirsoh'b SttD.-Onee np on a time there lived in Cincinnati, not so long ago as to be fqrg.TUen by the 'oldest inhabitant." a native 01 that city known as ;Tom Henderson. Now Tom was not generally supposed to be the brightest youth ever born, but one of his acts was so full of wisdom that it passed into a proverb, long in - use in Cincinnati, and well onderstood by the least all usion to "Tom Henderson's sled." ; - The organ of secretivenes was large largely - ly largely developed in Tom, and withal the organ of constructiveness; and these combined incited Tom, during the va , cation of school one winter, and in long winter evenings, to construct a sled, "pung, or sleigh, in bis lather a cellar, designed for "a jolly sleigh-ride" whenever nature should favor that somewhat warm latitude with snow for the purpose. At length the occasion arrived. Tom procured hia horse ready barnessed, and extended a cordial invitation to several of bis comrades to join him in his sport. "Where in the world, Tom, are you going to get a sW?" "0, never fear; I've got one safe enough. I've got a sled a bran, spanker new one all safe enough, I'll assure ye; so come along, and won't we nave a jolly ridel" So come along they did, a jolly lot of sportive boys. Tom led ibem to his father's house, halted his team in front of his father's old-fashiobed outside cellar door, and said, "Now. bold the horses, while I go in." In Tom went, and. down the cellar stain, uniolwd and opened the outside cellar door, and cried. "Come on, boys, and give us a for there WM the gejf bran. spanker new;" but in spite of all their . . M . tugging. lifting, twisting, and screwing and all their ingenuity, coupled wilh Tom Henderson's wisdom, the sled would not come out of the cellar door. It was simply too big for the hole! In other words it drew too much water for the channel it was intended to navigate. We are not sure that Tom is still living, but some of his old friends think they see evidence of his genius in the management of the Burnside expedi expedition. - tion. expedition. Xev York Tribune.
