soldier of the allied army relates the follow
ing:
Sin the heat of the battle, young Rus
sian officer made himself very conspicuous,
and appeared Indifferent to danger. He was
young, tall, handsome and indeed beautiful.
Twice had my rifle raised to shoot him; but
my heart smote me and turned il in anoth-
er direction. In an hour saw him again,
but Q, how changed? His checks, which had
been flushed with the heat of strife. were
now deadly pale. He lay, or half reclined,
on the edge of hillock, and held the nina
ture likeness of a young lady in his hand,
which had been tied to his neck by small
gold chain. His eyes were fixed upon it, but
they were fixed in death. cannot tell what
my feelings were, indeed cannot venture.--

Quick REpARTEE.-Gov. Morris, of New
York, had high respect for Bishop Moore, a
man noted not only for the purity of his char
acter, but also for the retiring modas,y of his
disposition, and for the general favor in
which he was he'd. As the story ran
A dinner was given By some of Gov. Nor
ris' friends, when he was about departing for
Europe. Bishop Moore and his wife were
of the party. Among other things that pas
sed in conversation, Mr.. Morris said he had
made his will in prospect of going abroad:
and turning to B shop Moore, said to him:
'My reverend friend, have bcqueathed to
you my whole stock of impudence.'
Bishop Moore replied
Sir, you are not only very kind, but very
generous: you have lett me by far the largest
portion of yorr estate.'
Mrs. Moore Immediately added
sMy dear, you have come in possession of
your Inheritance remarkably soon.

MrcuASlc'R Wwx speaking Of the mid

sThere We behold woman in her glory: not
doll to carry silks or jewels; not a puppet
to be battered by profane adoration-r rev.
erenced to-day, discarded to.morrow-al-
ways jostled out of the place which nature
has assigned her, by sensuality or by con-
tempt--admired but not respected desired
but not esteemed-ruled by ASSIGN, not af-
fection--imparting her weakness, not her
consistency; we see her wife, partaking the
care and cheering the anxiety Of husband,
dividing his tolls, and Spreading cheer
around her; for his sake, sharing the decent
rcdnemsnts OF the world without being vain
of placing all her joys and happiness in the
man she YES. As mother, We find her
an ardent and afecsionate instructor of her
children, whom shc tended from their infan.
cy, training them to thought and beney olenc,
training them as rational beings, preparing
them to become men and women in their
turn.
