The Post Of Honor.--It is impossible to set
bounds TO the love ofdisncton, or disputes concer-
ming precedence, of which we have memorable
instance in the account given US by Col. Monro, OF
a mutiny in the army in'India under his command
Having found it indispensaby necessary to pun ish
some of the ringeaders, four were ordered 70 be
tied to the guns, and the artillery officers directed
to bLo1C them alCay. Just as the dreadful sentence
was going to be executed, four grcnaders stepped
forth and insisted upon it that, as they had always
had the post of honor, they were strictly entitled TO
be 6loaon "1oay first! The others, therefore, were
united, and the grenaders blown away according to
their desire! Eng. Daper.

SOLDIER FOUND LYING DEAD uN tHE fiEi
or BATTLE.
From The Edinbarg sHagazine.
Wreck Of a warrior pass'd away
Thou form without name.
Which thought and felt but yesterday,
And dreampt OF future fame!
Stripp'd Of thy garments, who shall guess
Thy rank, thy lineage, and race?
If naughty chieftain holding sway,
Or lowler, .destin'd to obey
The light of that 6x'd eye is set,
And all is moveless now,
But PASSIONS traces lingcr yet,
And lower upon that brow;
Expression has not yet wax'd weak,
The lips seem cen in act to speak,
And clench'd the cold and lifeess hand,
AS if it grasp'd the battle brand
Though from tina, head, late towering high,
The waving plume is torn,
And low in dust that form doth lie,
Dishonor'd and fororn
Yet deaths dark shadow cannot hide
The craven characters of pride,
That on the lip and brow reveal
The impress of the spirits seal.
Lives there a mother to deplore
The son she meier shall SEE
Or maiden, on some distant shore,
To break her heart for lhee:--
Percbance to roam maniac there,
With wid.hower wreaths to deck her hair,
And through the weary night 10 walt
Thy footsteps at the lonely gate.
Long shall she linger there, in vain
The evening fire shall trim,
And gazing on the dark ming main,
Shall often call on him
Who hears her not--who cannot hear
oh deaf forever is the ear
That once in listening rapture hung
Upon the music of her tongue
Long may she dream-to wake is woe F.
Meier may remembrance tell
lis tale to bid her sorrows How,
And hope TO sigh FAREWELL
The heart, bereaying of It's stay,
Quenching the beam that cheers her way
Along the waste of life--till she
Shall lay her down and sleep like thee

The following anecdote is, we are assured true.
About eighty years ago the parish Of Gilerux
contained very scanty population, and for three
cessve years the parish clerk made no returns at the
visitations of the register, of either marriages.
births or burias. When the Court inquired the
reason, suspectng him of negligence in the dis
charge of his parochal duties, he replied (aluding
to The parishoners that Cod did not like them the
Devil did not like them and they did not like one
another. Of this strange reply an explanation was
demanded. God did not like them, says he else he
would take some OF them to himself; the Devil did
not like them, or he would do the same and they
did not like one another, or there would be MARI
ages andbirhs amongst them. 1t is needless to say
what effect this had on the whole Court.
