Experience Of a wounded Officer, Hon.


 The Russian army was drawn up on the heights, upwards of 10000 strong, and with immensely heavy artillery, A and 32 .pounders The light division advanced to the attack, SUD- ported by the first division, (guarls and nigh landers.) They got across the river, and then advanced against the intrenchmeuts. The 23d was in column when the brigade of guards charged in line. My company (the 4th) was next to the colors, and in the very centre of the line. We got up to within fifty yards of the ditch when the regiment before US (which has had three senior officers kiled) turned right about and came down in our face, thus break ing our hne We were about thirty paceS then from the ditch, and the fire was so hot that you could hardly conceive it possible for anything the size of rabbit not to be killed. Ikept on shouting Toward, guards.'' to the men that were not swept away by the * when a ball came and stopped my mouth most uncere- moniously.
 It entered the left cheek, and went out at the mouth, taking away my front teeth. I in- stantly turned to the rear, feeling it was about 100 to one against my ever getting there, as the bullets were whizzing round me like hail. l tripped, and thought 1t was all over with me; however, I got up again with the loss of my sword and bearskin, and at last got into the riv- CT, and out of the fire. l had then another struggle on the other side, where grape and round shot were ploughing up the ground, and shells bursting; however, stumbled on, and at last got out of the fre and sat down among the wounded and dying soldiers and horses The doctors gave me some water, and then were obliged to go to others; so when they left Isat there for above half an hour before 1 could find out where our hospital was. At last an officer of the 10th, though wounded himself, gave me his arm, and took me to the Fusileer hospital. where I got some water, and sat down to bathe my face. -
 There were six or seven of our fellows there -one with five balls in him, another three, and third with his leg broken. My servant got me some blankets, and then we got stable, half burnt down, cleaned it out, and five of us lay there for the night, very wretched, as you may suppose-operations going on all around us Some weak brandy and water and some tea were all we had. The shed we were in was horrid thing-the heat, and dust and flies were intolerable; so in the morning four of us came down to the fleet, and 1, with two oth- CTS, went on board her Maiesty's ship London.

A NOBLE HEARTED WIFE.-A romantic
story of female devotedness has just been
circulated at Valence. 1t is stated that
a Prussian woman, named Hipson, has
been working in male attire, as a nayvie
on the railways, for more than five years.
She had an iniirm husband and four chill
dren; their family were starving: she
disguised herself. worked hard, and had
her wages advanced for her assiduity
with her earnings she supported her pre-
tended g father" and brothers and sis
ters," her husband and her children
When her secret was discovered, gifts
poured in upon her from the neighbor-
hood, and work more suited to her sex
has been provided.

To K-EATERs.-It is said that the
Jews, Turks, Arabians. and all those who
observe the precept Of avoiding blood and
swlne's flesh, are infinitely more free from
disease than Christians; more especially
do they escape these opprobria of the
medical art, gout, scrOfula, consumption
and madness. The Turks eat great
quantities of honey and pastry and much
sugar; they also eat largely, and are in
dolent: yet do not suffer from dyspepsia
as Christians do. The swine-fed natives
of Christendom suffer greater devastation
from painful tubercular disease of the
bowels (dysentery,) than from any other
cause. Those persons who abstain from
Swine's flesh and blood are infinitely
more healthy and free from humors, CLAM
dular diseases, dyspepsia and consump-
ton: while in those districts and among
those classes Of men where the pig makes
the chief article of diet, tubercle in all its
forms of eruptions, sore legs, bad eyes
and assesses must prevail. 1t is stated
as remarkable coincidence that Prince

TIE BEARD REFORM IN FNct.xn-y

TIE BEARD Reform IN ENGLANp.-A
correspondent at London sends the New
York Tribune the following account of
the anti-shaying movement in that con-
servative kingdom
-" England will shortly be able to beard
the world in arms. Capillary attraction
is increasing rapidly. The BARRIERS re-
Gently struck against the public and half
penny shaving, and now the public strike
against the BARRIERS, and intimate that
they don't care one half penny for them.
Altogether, our mustache movement may
be denominated barbarous proceeding.
That Norman institution, the razor, is
threatened; the Saxon spirit reyolts
against its hairs breadth escapes, and in
stead of turning up the chin it turns up
the nose at it. Seriously speaking, we
have had no such innovation for a long
time, or one that so completely alters the
face of things. 1t might perplex an
Austrian detective to tell who is foreign
and who isn't. Friends that were wont
to meet you with smiling smoothness on
their faces. now glover at you from be-
hind bush or hedge ofhair. The Guards
on the Rail, and Smiths in the red FORGE
light, and Engineers in the factories, ap-
pear like new race Of stalwart Saxons.
Mr.. George Dawson was the first, and
for long time the sole person who burst
mount the pulpit and a mustache at the
same time. Others, however, are follow
ing his example, and large numbers of
our literary men may be seen bearded
like the pard.' If the movement goes
on as it has commenced, the wearing Of
hair round the mouth will soon be ma
tional as well as a natural custom, and if
the ladies object, their errcr must be
kissed out Of them. May we hope that
this is a sign to all the world that hence
forth no one, whether he be Car, Kaizer,
King or Barber. will be permitted to
tweak an EngliShman by the nose?"
