THE DUTY OF A GENERAL—A commander should
be self-collected in a battle, calm under a shower of
darts or the whistling of artillery ; but to prove his c°111.1g::
he is not called upon to charge windmills with the chicv'ilio
madness of Don Quixote, or to slay 800 enemies With do
own hand, as recorded of Aurelian and Richard CCellr for
Lion. Charles of Sweden and Attila loved fighting
fighting's sake; for the certawinis gaudia, as Casei°....%Thy
writes ; " the rapture of the strife," as Lord Byron Ibe
lates the passage. Yet a brave general is not obliged the
a vulture snuffing blood like the truculent Sing urge
Huns. He can maintain his reputation for personal of flog,
without jumping alone into the midst of an army ef,
ting
as Alexander did from the walls of Oxydrace ; or 00 ,r.r•
a host of many thousand with 300 men, as Charles 1C...1.01g
did at Bender; or of placing his foot first on the sea
ladder in emulation of the extreme daring of the 000 s of
Bourbon, undei extreme circumstances, at the stormier
no
Rome. Charles I. lacked moral courage, but he NVdig,
craven physically. His bravery in the field and 0151,1101
nity on the scaffold went far in atonement of his P°1:•06,
weaknesses and shortcomings.—Dublin University To..

Want of Appetite.—French philosophers trace the thetal
feelings of the mind to the state of the stomach, and the
is much wisdom in the speculation. The stomach to

human body is more than the kitchen to the domestic ow
blishment :be it ever so slightly disordered, the wisaf the
ternal economy is deranged. The young may smile nioo
simile and disbelieve the tremendous sacrifice indige,shey
exacts from its victims. The day will come when 'fl-zer
will lament over their dyspepsia, as thousands etrc'filir
than themselves have done, when it will be for their ttio
fort and happiness if they will remember these propl'vf
