ENGLISH AND FRENCH SoLDIERY The battle of
the Alma (says the Newark Eagle) brought into
striking contrast the characteristic differences of the
French and English soldiery. The former have al
WAYS been distinguished for the qualities valua-
BILE at onset-the latter for those necessary for
steadfast defence. In coup an main the French
soldiers from their mpetuoSity, would be the most
useful instruments; but the steadness fthe English
would be most available in struggle attended by
prolonged resistance These contrased qualities
admirably combined in the contest at Alma. An
English naval officer thus describes the manner in
which the conflict brought the opposite national char
acteristics into effectual combination:
"The English could not have scaled the heights
like the French, nor would French columns, in all
probability have marched up the batteries with that
logged courage which distinguishes British troops
when placed in the position in which they were du-
ring this battle The French having turned the
Russian flank, and held the heights, our troops add
vanced steadily under most tremendous fire from
the batteries They broke in crossing the river, and
the light division rushed up the slope without paus
ing Two regiments it is impossible to reconcile
the conflicting accounts, each regiment saying that
the other gave way-recoed beneath the trench
dous fire of the Russian batteries. This part of the
battle in much criticised by some of the military au'
thoritics, who declare that troops were exposed
to almost inevitable Instructions the earthwork was,
however triumphanty carried, and the battle decid-
ed by an admirable movement of the highland
brigade, under Sir CollinICampbel, to whom every
one assigns the decisive movement which secured
complete victory but the slaughter there was ter
rible.
"The oldest generals declare that in no battle
heretofore fought have SO many dead bodies been
heaped up in one spot 1t would be impossible to
describe to you the frghtful scene which witnessed
in the square mile comprising this earthwork, the
slope beneath itSand the the slope above it, upon
which we're formed the enormous squares of the Rus
ian infantry The greatcr part the English killed and
wounded were here and there at least five Rus
slams to every Engshman You could not walk for
the bodies The most frightful mutilations the hu-
man body can sufer-the groams of the wounded
the packs, helmets arms, Clothes scattered over the
ground all formed that one can never forget
The two principal batteries having been carried the

the Russians to retire in good ORDER and to carry off

LEARNING A TRADE. 1t is a lamentable fact that
too many parents consider the learning of mechan-
ical trade disgrace, and labor ignoble-worthy on,
ly of slave and send out their sons into the world
encumbrance rather than useful members OF So
ciety. People too often judge men by their outside
appearance seeming to forget that it is the heart that
constitutes the gentleman, and that the raiment a
man wears is no more test OF gentllIty than the
beard that he wears upon his face. Labor ana gen.
tllty are notantagonStS and the connection between
them in their true meaning is close, that they are
almost inseparable. We do not pretend to say that
every man who labors is gentleman, but labor IS
necessary to develop the good traits OF the heart
and prevent ideness from planting the weeds OF dis
sipation, which are so ruinous to the young. All
great men are hard workers; and in no other way
could they have attained the position they hold.
The most despised calling may be made honorable
by the honor of its professor; will any trade
degrades the that is intrinsically pure. 1t is
the heart, the mind, the intention carried into the
work that ennobles or degrade him who is engaged
in it.
Let no parents who almost compel their sons to
spend their time in deness and consequent debauch
cry and dissipation or who teach their sons to be-
ieve that labor degrades them, and the knowledge
of mechanical trade is stain character, ever
complain of disappointed hopes in their children.
The destiny of the child is, to some extent in the
hands of the parent, and depends greatly upon the
principles inculcated by them. How many poor,
idle, hestating, outcast is creeping and crawl
ing his way through the world who might have held
up his head and looked the world in the face with
an unblanching eye if his parents had given him
trade and taught him that
Honor and fame from condition rise,

powers of delineating the varied emotions
of the heart, and her finished education
as disciple of Thalia and Thespis-and

alleging that the Wing organ has mis-
