the heads of the French. The wounded
crawled along the ground, and cut at the
legs of their indomitable foes They dis
played supernatural bravery, the only
virtue which the Mamelukes possessed.
But an incessant and merciless FIRE from
Napoleon's well-trained battalions contin-
uaily thinned their ranks, and at length the
Namelukes. in the widest disorder, broke
and fed. The infantry in the intrenched
camp, witnessing the utter discontinue
OF the mounted troops, whom they had
considered invincible, caught the panic
and joined the fight. Napoleon. now. in
his turn. charged with the utmost impet-
uosity. A scene of indescribable confu-
aion and horror ensued.
The extended plain was crowded with
tugitives-footmen and horsemen, bewil-
dersd with terror, seeking to escape from
their terrible foes. Thousands plunged
into the river, and endeavored to escape
by swimming to the opposite shore. But
shower of bullets like hailstones, fell up
on them, and the waves Of the Nile were
crimsoned with blood. Others sought
the desert, wild rabble route. The vic.
tors, with their accustomed celebrity, pur-
sued, pitilessly pouring into the dense
masses of their flying foes, the most terri
BILE discharges of artillery and musketry.
The rout was complete-the carnage aw-
full. The sun had hardly reached the
meridian, before the whole embattled host
had disappeared, and the plain as far as
the eye could reach was strewn with the
dead and the dying.
The camp, with all its Oriental wealth,
fell into the hands of the victorious and
the soldiers enriched themselves with its
profusion of splendid shawlz, magnificent
weapons, Arabian horses, and purses fill
ed with gold. The Mamelukes were ac-
customed to lavish great wealth in the
decoration of their persons and to carry
with them large sums of money. The
gold and the trappingS found upon the
body of each Mameluke were worth from
twelve hundred to two thousand dollars.
Besides those who were slain upon the
field, more than a thousand of these for
midable horsemen were drowned in the
Nile. For many days the soldiers en-
ployed themselves in fishing up the rich
booty, and the French camp was filled to
abundance. This most sanguinary battle
cost the French scarcely one hundred men,
in killed and wounded, More than ten
thousand of the enemy perished. Napo-
leon gazed with admiration upon the bra
very which these proud horscmen display
ed. " Gould have united the Mameluke
horssmen to the French infantry" said
he, "I should have reckoned myself mas
ter of the world"

And verdus is over them spread.

Like the first crystal dew.drOps Of day.

The bright air IE filled with the hum Of the bees
And birds sing in the cool, shady bowers.

To u the calm joy that IL spread
Upon her bright bosom, but often our hearts
To joyous emotions are dead.
For sorrow will of leave its sting
To corrode In the desolGte heart,
Nor time and itS changes of seasons can bring
A balm to the sOul-rending smart
Though deep in our broast we conceal
The gloom that IL only. our own,
Yet the changes of seasons and years, will reveal
That our feelings are changelsss alone.

An IRCIDEHT IN TIE EARLY LfYR or WM.
Wharf.-The history Of William Writ, Of
Virginia, presents curious incident, which
led to his marriage. In his early career,
Mr.. Writ was addicted TO intempeTate ha.
bits, and was, as every friend supposed,
hopeless, irreclaimable man. He was
abandoned by almost every friend, and
was so reduced that his presence was OBJ
jeetionable in the meanest establishments
where rum waa sold. On certain ocea-
sion, he had become 80 grossly intoxicated
that he fell upon the floor Of rum hole
insensible. The proprietor very eoolly
dragged him out Of the place and laid him
at full length on the edge Of the sidewalk.
1t was in the city Of Richmond, Virginia.
The day was excessively warm. and the
rays of the sun fell directly upon the ine-
briate. who WAS totally unconscious Of his
situation. A young lady was passing the
spot, and on noticing the exposed features
of Mr.. Writ. stopped, spread her handler.
chief over his face, and passed on. When
Mr.. Writ became partially sensible Of his
situation, few hours afterwards, he dis
/ covered the handkerchief, and the initials
upon IL made him aware to whom It be-
lonped. That kind act made him re-
formed man, for he found that there was
one living being that was interested IN his
fate. In after years. when Mr.. Writ had
risen to an eminent position, and was q
candidate for the Presidency Of the United
States, we met him and his gifted lady,
(the identical young woman who mana
ged the handkerchief business when Mr..
Writ was in the :" grog'' trade, and she
never regretted her choice, and he never
drank nore.-IAe Piek.
