THE BATTLE OF MARENGO.

THE BATTLE OF MARENGO.
The following sketch Of one of the mos
famous Of Napoleon's battles is from Harp.
er's Magazine.
Napoleon was fully aware that q deci-
sive battle would soon take place. Melas
was rapidly, from all parts concentrating bis
army. The following lsconic and charac-
teristc order was issued by the FRS, Con
sui to Lannes and hIurat: "Gaiher your
forces at the river Sradels. On the S;h
or 9th at the latest you will have on your
hands fifteen or eighteen thousand Austri'
ans Meet them, and cut them TO pieces
1t will be so many less on our hands on the
entire army of Melss." The prediction
was true. An Austrian force advanced
eighteen thousand strong. Lannes mel them
upon the field Of Montebelo. They were
strongly posted, with batteries ranged upon
the hill sides, which swept the whole plain.
1t was Of the utmost moment that this body
should be prevented from combining with
the other vast force of the Austrians. Lam
mes had but eight thousand men. The

Of the carnage in the midst Of which they
were plungng. with shouts Of enthusiasm

storm of grape shot from all the batteries

could hear The bones crash in my division
like glass IN hail Storm" For nine lone
hours, from eleven in the morning till eigh
at night, the horrid carnage continued
Again and again the mangled, bleeding, wasl
ed columns were rallied to the charge. A
last when three thousand Frenchmen were
strewn dead upon the ground, the Auslrian'
broke and fled, leaving also three lhousant
mu,ilaled corpses and six thousand prison
ers behind them. Napoleon, Fastening IL
the aid of his lieutenant, arrived upon lh'
field just in lime to see the battle won. Hi

A COURTING SCENE.
BY MISS LESLIE.

BY MISS LESLIE.
The parlors both are occupied, and every other
spot,
By courtiers who accounting seem, and yet per-

There's some that court on taborets, placed low
ingly together, ,
And lovingly they whisper low, OF fashions OF 'he
weather;
Some court within the outer porch, and some up
on the stairs,
And many court on ottomons, and very few on
chairs.
And openly, without disguise, is all this counting
No matter whether on it shines the gas light or the
And so desirous are they still the state of things
to prove,
The more that visiters come in, the more they
will not move,
But there they sit and persevere, IN spite OF hint
and glance,
And people that on business come have very little
chance.
And some court at the checker board, while others
court at chess,
(Though chess-players cannot be IN love SO much
as they profess,)
There are some that at the backgammon court.
half hid behind column,
And some would even court at whist were not the
game solemn.
There are some that promenade as if they never
meant to stop,
And some that think it policy to institute hop.
This courting of the young folks is pretty sight
to see,
+, But the courting of the married ones had better
never be

We wish, with them, that they could mako a
shorther courtship do

For it's very dull to stay at home with no one
counting me.

PosTCRIPT TO LADY's LETTER-Some-

PosTcRIPT TO LADY's LETTER.-Some-
body has said that lady always expresses
her mind in a postscripl-and this, in the
main, is true. Some Two years ago, friend
of ours fell in love with very beautiful
and very romantic girl, whose guardian set
his ugly face against the match. After an
ordinary process of anxiety and. .ribula.ion,
the young gentleman conlrived TO have a
letter put in the hands Of his Julia, begging
her TO run away with him. She returned
an answer Of three pages closely written :
she talked about aching hearts, tombslones
and willow trees, in style of unutterable
sensibiltv-bu, not word about his re-
quest. He read on till he came to the sig
nature, "your broken hearted julia" and
was on the point Of deciding that Julia was
not as wise as she might be, when little
P. S. caught his eye. II was to this effect
that she would be ready to run away with
him that evening, in spite of all the guar.
dians in the world. This was the quinl-
essence of the whole three pages.
