THE RUSSIAN SoLDIER.-The Russian when dis clpned become excellent soldiers. They are locoino- tive machines, which may be moved in any direction at the will of the officers. The Russian soldier has no opinion of his ownhs paSsiUe obedience and abi- ty q snBeTang under protracted physical nconyenen- ces, almost unexamped. He conceiyes it to be his duty to obey has officers under any circumstances regardless of peril, or even death Many anecdotes might be related 10 illustrate the blind obedience of the Russian soldier. The following is from a work en- titled Resources of Russia
 "Peer the Great at interview with the kings of Denmark and Poland hearing them boast of the su- periory of their soldiers, instead of dspung inc point with them, proposed experiment which was mme- diaely assented to, and which was, order grena- dier to jump out ofa third floor window. The king of Denmark tried the experiment on one of his bravest and most loyal soldiers, who on his knees refused com pliance The King of Poland waved the trial alto gether eonceving 1t to be hopeless; when Peter or dered one of his soldiers, the least promising that could be picked out, 10 descend the window The soldier merely crossed himself, touched his hat according 10 form, boldly marched to the window and had already one of his legs out when the emperor stopped him. and told him he was satisfied. The kings were asionsh- ed and each made the soldier present of 100 ducats requesting Peter to promore hlm the rank of officer. The Czar answered that he would do to obge them, but not to reward the soldier ;for all his soldiers would do much, and by rewardlng them Tn the same way he would have no soldiers at all.'

 The while my heart is desolate When last joined the festive throng, l heard-it seemed my brain to scar A stranger breathe the very song

 Unutterably desolate. miss him by the evening hearth,
 miss him at the silent meal, But keenest in the bower of mirth
 Ny joyless solitude feel. But late saw happy bride
 Smne tondly on her welded mate, While I-oh would that had died
 With him who left me desolate. Yespeak of wealth--in Mammon's mart There's not single boon crave; Gold cannot heal the broken heart,
 Nor bfibe the nnretufning grave; It cannot fill the vacant seat
 Where once my honored husband sate, Nor still my hearts conyulsive beat, Nor make my home less desolate. Alas! the base on which we build
 Hope's fairest fabric is but air, And laughs the heart when God has willed To lay his christening finger there. A brighter, happier dream than mine Did never love and hope create; bowed before an earthly shrine,
 And Heaven has left me desolate. And yet not so--my soul be calm
 The hand that smiteth will sustain Thou hast helper on whose arm
 The mourner never leaned in vain. Oh! may that arm the pilgrim guide
 By the straight path and narrow gate, To where the loved in bliss abide,
 And hearts no more arc desolate.

This unfashonabie notion of ours frequently
 leads us 10 tarry at those primitive assemblages which are to be ound every pleasant sabbath, congregated in
 the open air the decks of some of the thousand ships
 lying at the wharves; and al which we have, on more
 than one occasion, heard more plain, practical expos
 tons of the religious and moral duties of man towards bis fellows and his maker, than any of the luxurious and splendid places osensiby devoted to religion, but more really pride and worldly display, with which city abounds.
 At conventice of this character, assembled Sun- day afternoon last, board vessel lying at Coenties Slip, we formed one of congregation of perhaps two hundred, who listening the discourse of plain spoken and zeaous expounder of the fourth command ment. fellow sat on the stern of the next vessel, with line in his hand, making double of his lime by listening with his to the preachers expound-
 ngs of the law and with his hands doing constant yo- fence 10 the same, byplyng his vocation of angling; albeit, though he was constantly hauling up and bait ing his hook he caught no fishes. The fact was ob- served by the preacher and he sought improve fl an illustration of his assertion that man was ever the better of for laboring cn the sabbath. My friends, (sad he, Providence in his wisdom has placed before your eyes living evidence of his indignation against the violation of this most righteous commandmen.- There, observe that sabbath breaker.

E WASHINGTON, Oct. IS, 1886.
 General Jackson has been thrown into a Paroxysm of rage. by the receipt of letter from Gen. Call, in which he states that there are not officers in Florida to conduct the Unlted States troops. In the first moments of m ms anger, he is said to have issued an order that all the U. s. officers. be their occupations ana situations what they might, should be in- Stantly ordered off to Florida. A little re- necnons and perhaps suggestion from the locam se''ens of the head of the War Depart ment, induced him afterwards to .rescind this order but there will, no doubt. be a consid- eraole reinforcement of epaulettes transn1it- tea to the seat of war immediately. The war m Florida languishes. and l fear is likely to lang9ish. General Jesup is said to be on his way homes to be present at the investigation of the charges which he preferred against General Scott, and which he will find all his ingenuity requisite to supper. The army is dissatisfied, and am fearful that the. disaf- fection is more likely to increase than to sub- side, The rage for resignation does not ap- pear to have suffered material abatement. U. S.
