The Russian soldier is always hungry, SO
when he discovers a field of cucumbers, water
melons, or gourds, he eats them without
washing them, with the rind on. If with this
the poor wretch has little salt and mouth
ful of brandy, he would not exchange with a
prince. These men are mere children
They must be led, but they obey readily.
Every four months they receive their pay Of
three paper roubles go cents). The soldier
who is not on active service wears always,
Summer and Winter, a cowskin cloak of a
mixed gray and red color. This is his gar
ment and his bed. Once year he receives a
new cloak, with three pairs Of ankle-boots Of
Russia leather, with excellent soles. He
does not use them, for he takes great care of
his kit. His ample belts are always dazzling
white, his arms shine like mirror, and are
always in good condition.

In Case of Fire.

Going to fire is an art which needs study
and practice to make one perfect, yet how bun
glingly do some proceed when present at one
There is Philanthropos, who always runs when
there is an alarm, and directs his unframed
efforts towards saving property in the most alb
surd way. We have directed our attention to
this subject lately, and obtained from an artist
in the line, the rules that regulate his actions
at fires. We commend them to the reader
L. If the fire be a small affair, rush furious
ly up stairs, seize the poker and tongs and rush
furiously down again.
2. Rush back, and bring away boot jack.
3. If the fire has increased, your duty will
become more pleasant than ever, for then you
arc justified in throwing things on; Of the win
dow. Avail yourselves of the opportunity
and seize the mirrors and dash them out of the
window. Perhaps they may break, but the
rule is never TO carry glass down stairs. If
any body makes impairment observations, as
cribe it 10 his ignorance.
4. Feather beds may be carried down.
5. Bureau drawers may be thrown down,
especially if there be anything in them.
6. Finally, throw out everything that may
afford amusement TO the crowd, and relieve the
horror of the scene, for in SO doing you extract
pleasure from painful occurrence, which is
the province Of both philosopher and an artist.

THINGS TO BE DEPLoRED.-That wine is
not like gratitude, because then no one would
indulge in it to excess; that vice is not like
the tax-gatherer, because it would need only
to be seen to be avoided that our law reform
ers do not apply to the duration of Chancery
suit the whole maxim of the Institutes, The
law abhors a pe,petmity;' that womens' follies
were not like their bonnets, for then they
would every day be growing less that inju-
ries were not like borrowed umbrellas, for
then those who receive them would never think
of returning them.

Prince Albert is 'hen-pecked husband,
if we may believe the London writers, one Of
whomsays:
g Prince Albert was lately out for day
visit to Cambridge, with instruction that he
must return by ten at night. When there,
the Professors became so prosy in their adj
dresses, that, being promised an entertainment
by the municipality, he telegraphed for per-
mission to remain till hgelue. The reply
came from Victoria that, as punishment for
this conjugal disobedience, he must return by
eigt; and at this early hour the poor Prince
was obliged to trudge into Buckingham Pal
zee, to escape suspicion and consequences of
marital infdelity."

HEMP NARCoTIc.-We see it stated in an
article in the National Intelligencer, that the
hemp plant possesses a narcotic resin, called
in Asia " hochshish, which has the same
effect on fish and cattle as coculos indicus.
In streams where hemp is rotted, the fish come
to the surface Of the water in state Of intoxi-
cation, and to all appearance, dead; and cat
tie, after drinking the water, stagger about
and cut strange capers. These facts being
misunderstood, prejudice has for many years
existed against water rotting hemp, under the
impression that the process caused death
among the cattle IN the neighborhood Of the
str cams where it is carried on.

Singular Occurrence.

We learn that a schooner which recently ar
rived at this port from the Marquesas Islands,
picked up near the Equator, upwards of a
hundred casks of oil, which were found float
ing in group very close to each other. On
examination the casks were found coated with
barnacles, except upon small portion OF the
sides, which would be in contact-with others
when packed together. This would indicate
that thew had been in the water a long time,
and further, they had only recently been sepa-
rated. Upon them were also found certain
initials branded, which answer to those OF a
whaler which sailed out Of Nantucket some
five or six years ago, and never was heard OF
afterwards. 1t is a matter Of curious specu-
laton how these casks came to be floating to-
gether at this late day, and how one portion
of them should be covered with barnacles and
others not 1t may be accounted for by sup
posing that the vessel foundered IN gale and
went down with cargo on board. She re-
NAMED at the bottom of the ocean for several
years, until the timbers deeayed, when the
levity of the oil became sufficient to burst the
rotten timbers Of the deck and rise to the sur
face; and it must have been very shortly after
this occurrence that they were found, as the
winds and waves would very soon have scat
tered them, and barnacles attached themselves
to all portions of their surface. Had they
tongues to speak, what story they could tell
of the wonders of the deep San Francisco

How Hannah came near being Left.

How Hannah came near being Left.
A few days since, says the editor Of the Sui
Ivan County Wing, we were at the depot Of
the branch railroad in Newburg, and being
punctual, as usual-i. e. half an hour before the
starting time of the train-we had an opportu-
nifty of making few observations. We were
no sooner seated than in came ar elderly gen
tleman, who purchased ticket for himself, and
at the same time remarked to the clerk that he
must keep four or five tickets ready for his son
and his family for they would want then quick
when they did come, for they were dL,cdyS be-
Mnd-hand. Fifteen minutes elapsed, and the
old gentleman again stepped up 10 the clerk,
and said-'OnIy fifteen minutes they'll be too
late, of course-always = Ten minutes more
elapsed, when the old gents voice was again
heard Confnund them I hope they will be
left! They deserve it. 'All aboard ! says
the conductor; and all aboard it was, save our
old friend, whose folks were altoGys 6ehiHd-hand
Do wait few minutes, CONDUCTOR he cried;
Daniel comm! =
The conductor, with his usual kindness,
promised TO wait a minute, but the time was
pressing. The attention of the passengers was
by this time attracted to the spot, and all eyes
were directed 10 Daniel; and sure enough, there
was Daniel on keen run, with boy, and a
girl, and a valise, and carpet-bag, and an UNI
brella, and baby, about two blocks off, making
a Decline for the cars. The old gentleman
again got excited, and by turns called to the
approaching travellers and heaped impreca-
lions upon them for their hardness. There's
Daniel, but where's Hannah!' But Hannah
was not to be seen, till the cry of Times up
from the conductor brought her round the same
corner Daniel had just turned, in fine style.
The excitement now increased among the spec
tators The conductor gave one minute more
only. Could Hannah make the cars in one
minute, she would yet go with the family
The old gentleman stamped; he waved his
handkerchief; he shonted Hannah ran well
but alas she was fat, and the day was very
warm She made half the distance, and was
over-done-blown, fabbergasted. The old
gentleman, Daniel boy, Qill, baby, conductor
and brakeman, all shouted at the top of their
voice but Hannah couldn't raise run. A hun
dred yards yet TO make-the whistle blew, the
bell rang; but Hannah came at snail's pace,
and it was just as the wheels started she was
dragged aboard, nearly redhot from her severe
and unusual exercise. There says the old
gentleman, turning to Daniel, when all were
on board, when your wife travels with me
again, she'll take the train ahead Of me. Al

a Great Shot.
N. Y. Pic

The best shot ever made,' that we have
heard of, says the Cincinnati Commercial.
was that Of an old hunter, who told US the
story, but for the perfect accuracy of whose
statements we will not vouch.
Our friend, the hunter, was standing on the
bank of the Miami river, rifle in hand, and
spied on the opposite shore noble deer, upon
which he fired. AT the instant he touched
the trigger, an enormous fish leaped from the
water and received the ball through the gills
the deer dropped dead in his tracks.
The hunter took canoe, which, as fortune
was In a smiling mood, happened to be near,
secured the fish, which had ceased to founce
and was floating with the current, and landed
at the spot where his prize-the deer-had
fallen. On examining the animal he found
that the ball had passed through him, and
looking in the direction it had taken, he dis
covered dead bear, also slain by the indomi-
table bullet, and presently saw that it had
buried itself in an old poplar, and from the
hole which it had pierced, gushed stream Of
honey bright as gold He stopped to gather
a stick to stop this waste of sweetness, when
his hand rested on rabbit, which he lifted
and then dashed to the ground in anger, when

Der of them.

success which had come upon him, he took

A Good Reply.

A Sabbath school teacher, instructing his
class on that portion of the Lords Prayer,
{ Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven,
said to them
You have told me, my dear children, what
is to be done, the will Of God /; and where it
is to be done, on earth and how it is to be
done-as it is done in Heaven. How do you
think the angels and the happy spirits do the
will of God in Heaven, as they are to be our
pattern?'
The first child replied, They do it imme-
diately.'
The second, They do it diligently
The third, They do it always
The fourth, They do it with all their
hearts,
The fifth, They do it altogether
Here pause ensued, and no child appeared
to have an answer; but, after some time, a
little girl, arose, and said
Why, sir, they do it without asking any
questions
