THE SACK OF. LosoNEz,

On the 1st of August, l849, about 8 O. clock in,
the morning, ninety Russian soldiers, COM
manded by ten officers, arrived at Losonez
They halted IN the public square. and while the
officers were breakfasting in the nearest tavern
the soldiers scattered among the baker shops of
the town They had been scarcely fifteen min
utes engaged in regaling themselves there. when
the place was suddenly surrounded by o column
Of 15O Hungarian guerrillas, who rushed upon
their hated foes with unexpected impetuosity.
Three Russian officers were killed; the rest,
with all the common soldiers, were captured, ex-
cepting only few who managed to escape.
After this feat the guerrillas Withdrew When
they at length departed, the bodies Of the Rus
slams were. buried in the common ditch It was
not long, however, before the rumor reached
Losonez that Gen. Grabbe had sworn to take
vengeance ON the town for the surprise of his
soldiers AT length, on the 7th of August, the
affrighted inhabitants learned that the enraged
Russians were within an hours march of them
All who had vehicles at their disposal at once
hurried away, but the largest portion were COM
pelled to remain. The cholera was committing
its ravages in the town, and nearly every family
had dead members to bury, or sick to attend
! The town was speedily surrounded by the
Russian advanced guard, composed Of Cossacks,
whose first measure was to cut off all retreat for
those who might still endeavor to escape g Hun
garian dogs they cried to the unfortunate
fugitiyes as they drove them with clubs.
Ere long a Russian Major presented himself
at the Town Hall, and the municipality having
secreted themselves or taken to fight, named q
magistrate and mayor among the towns people
present. imposing upon the place ransom Of
27 900 rations of bread, 100 oxen, 100 quintais

THE Use OF THE RULE OF THREE
There are exceptions to every rule but the
rule of three that is never changed. As
your income is to your expenditure, so will
the amount of your debts be to your cash on
hand, and your consequent ability TO meet
them. Ii you allow your vanity to lead
you into cxtravagance, you must rely On
something else to take you out Of it either
rich relation. or sheriff-s writ. Your
furniture may be less snowy than that Of
your neighbor, but never mind. Better
are canc-bottomcd chairs and mahogany ia
bles that are paid for. than spring cushions
and marble niantlcs on note Of six months.
Your coat may be less fashionable than your
neighbor's; and while he is driven by n liv-
cried coachmau. you may be riding shank s
horse: but. remember there is time for
balancing the books, and every purse has
got bottom. So, economize, and always
remember the. rule of three. a m

LYING IN BED WITH THE HEAD HIcH
1t is often question amongst people who
are unacquainted with tie anatomy and
physiology Of man. whether lying with the
head exalted or even with the body, was
the most wholesome. Most consulting their
own ease on this point, argue In favor Of
that which they prefer. Now. although
many delight in bolstering up their heads
at night. and sleep soundly without injury,
vet we declare it to be dangerous habit
The vessels through which the blood passes
from the heart to the head, are always les
sened in their cavities when the head is rest
ing in bed higher than the body; therefore,
in all diseases attended with fever. the head
should be pretty nearly on a level with the
body and people ought to accustom them
selves to sleep thus to avoid danger.

TWO WAYS TO LIVE ON EARTH
BY CHARLES SWAIN,

BY CHARLES SWAIN. "a.
There are two ways to live on earth ....
Two ways to judge-to act-to view;
For all things here have double birth
A right and wrong--a false and true! 1
Give me the home where kindness seeks
To make that sweet which seemeth small;
Where every lip in fondness speaks.
And every mind hath care for all
Whose inmates live in glad exchange
Ofpleasures, free from vain expense;
Whose thoughts beyond their means ne 'er range
Nor wise denials give ofencel
Who in neighbor's fortune find
No wish-no impulse-to complain;
Who feel not-never felt-the mind
To envy yet another's gain!
Who dream not of the mocking tide
Ambitions toiled endeavor meets
The bitter pangs of wounded pride.
Nor fallen power that shuns the streets
Though fate deny its glittering store,
Loves wealth is still the wealth to choose;
For all thai gold can purchase more
Are gauds it is no loss to lose.
Some beings, wheresoe'er they go.
Find nought to please or to exalt-
Their constant study but TO show
Perpetual modes of fincing fault.
While Others in the ceaseless round
OF daily wants and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from common ground,
And twice enjoy the joy they share!
Oh! happy they who happy make t
Who, blessing, still themselves are blest
Who something spare for others sake,
And strive in all things for the best

which he has been delivering, the discus

his expedition. insisting that the compass

electricity are continually travelling towards

there must be temperate climate between
