corrupt their hearts •nil their customs, have also
attempted to ilivistle those asylums of virtue, the con-

&o.rates-Aoalcuvroaretta—The Noatreiliste of Roues
has the following :—" Among the modifications °Detain-
plated by the Emperor in our military organisation is
one inspired by the constant agglomeration of nolo in
the peat inaufacturing centres. The most regent
statistics show that of the soldiers every yeardischarged
from the ;service, scarcely une-half return totheir homes,
but settle themselves in the towns—thus weakening the
agricultural force of the oouutry,and causing an loam,'"
iu the wice of provisions. At the camp of Chalons the
Emperew has already caused to be given to each soldier
a email garden, which he is to cultivate and keep in
order, and rewards are given to the best labourers. is
measure is to be conxiderably extend-di. Henoeforward
tie troops will &Tete part of their leisure time fp

into exeentiou, will be attended with a twofold result—
to create agriculturists where before they were merely
peasants, stud CO cease to make the seven years of
