How TO PoACH TIE RUssIANs.-A Xouave be-
fore Sevastopol thus writes to his father in Paris:
{" have of late been leading the life of poacher.
l am every day on the lookout for n Russian, be-
ing attached to a company Of .frauccs-tircurs, or
rihemen. Our duty is to fire at the Russian ar
tillerymen and to protect our own, who have no
reason to be dissatisfied with us as yet. | can
not say the same of the Russians who appear to
suffer greatly from our rifles. To give YOU an
idea Of our mode of acting, we set out at two in
the morning fully accOutered, with supply of
ammunition and biscuit. On our arrival in the
trenches We are provided with bags, a pickaxe
and a shovel. At given signal we Jump over
the parape with the agility of stags and take ref
uge in some sheltered spot under the forts, where
We dig kind of rabbit-hole to hide in. We place
our bags rs a protection on the side facing the
enemy, and we then set to work. We remain in
this sort of tomb the entire day; we leave it at
dark. often exposed to shower of grape shot,
You will naturally ask, dear father, what we have
to do all that time. can assure YOU that we have
plenty to do. We load and fire in rrpid success
sion, and every shot tells Russian artillery
man. The other day two officers were standing
on piece of timber placed on the top of tower
opposite my station, for the purpose of viewing
our works. With two shots 1 brought down these
gentlemen, and at the same time the batteries let
fly discharge of ball, shells and grape shot,
which fortunately passed over my head.''

WAsN'r THERE Too PAT the late election

at the poll to claim the elective franchise.
Feeling deep interest in favorite candidate
the father, who was evidently opposed to the boys
preference, stood at the ballot box, and chaleng-
ed his right to a vote, on the ground of his not
being of age. The young man declared that he
was twenty years old that he knew it, and
that he insisted upon his right The father be-
coming indignant, said:
Now, Bob, will you stand up here and con-
tr.dict me? Don't know how old you are? Wasn't

NEWLY, Discovered VERSES BY BYRON.


In Madden's Literary Life of the Countess of
Blessington, occurs the following passage:A
"Four years previously to July, $40, Byron
had met with some loss, which he made the sub
ject of lines of much beauty and pathos, that are
not to be found in his collected published works.
These lines throw some light on the apparent in
difference which Byron was in the habit of exhi-
biting, on occasions of separation by death, or
other causes, from those he loved; and especially
on the occasion of his parting with Madame Guic-
cioi, at the period of his embarkation for Greece.
STANZAS. BY LORD BYRON.

loss with sigh;
And yeti thou vert surprising dear
; Of all 10 die.
what hath scared mine eye;
The tears refuse to start: .-t
But every drop its lids deny,
Falls dreary my heart.
Yes-iecp and heavy. one by one,
They sink and turn 10 care;
As governed the stone,
Yet dropping harden there
They cannot petrify more fast
Than feelings sunk remain.
Which coldly fixed. regard the past,
But melt again.

others against the treaty Of alliance of Piedmont,
France and England. lie declares every Italian
traitor to democracy and his country who fights
under the flags of that un-holy alliance. But
his anathemas have not prevented large mum
Der from enlstins voluntarily, and the Sardin-
ian Chamber of Deputies, to which the Cabinet of
Turin submitted the treaty, has named five out of
seven Commissioners who are favorable to it.
From these facts it is inferred by the French pa
pers that Mazzni's voice has no longer an echo
in Italy.

The more one sees Of the world, tho more one be-
comes convinced that one's; existence andiwolfare
is of far more Importance to oneself than to any
other person, and the feeling of selishness there
are often shocked to find how soon are recon-
ciled to the loss, or to the misfortunes' Of our
friends; and We cannot expect that they will be-
wall our individual suHerings to any greaterex-
tent. In India, where deaths are so sudden, you
sup with man one night, attend his funeral the
next morning, and probably dine with some OF
his most intimate friends that evening, after az.
tending the sale of his effects, this feeling OF
sclfshness increases more than in Europe. a
friend of mine in India told me that his death
from cholera had been reported and credited, ana
on the evening of the day in which the report
reached the Presidency, he walked into the bill
lard room of the club, and he said that his eyes
were never more completely opened to the actual
value and duration of friendship, and of the ut
ter unimpOrtance of any individual life to the
general routine and amusement of society, than
by finding his most intimate and atfectionate
friends playing, and smoking, and chatting away
as usual, having in very few hours, got over the
shock, and reconciled themselves completely to
his sudden loss. Of course they were very happy
to see him, and shook him by the hand, with ''By
Jove, old fellow, thought you We're dead" &c.
&c. But an occurrence Of that nature could not
fail to prove to man of the most moderate dis
elimination, that his existence was of remarka-
bly, little consequence, even in his own small world
The difference between sickness and death in the
East and in Europe is this in India, as have
said, the last details are hurried rs quickly
as possihlc: the blow is so sudden, the shaft from
the CULVER of the ''rider on the white horse" dealt
with so unerring an aim, that the shock is past
almost before one is aware the blow is struck;
and when you see the man standing at your elbow
struck down, your first feeling is one of selfish
congratulation at having escaped similar fate
In England, it is different; there you see your
friends sinking gradually, but surely, to their end;
you may meet one apparently in the full enjoy.
ment of health, but you know that the hand Of
death has set his seal, and that he will assured
ly claim that fair form within certain number
of weeks or months, as that night will succeed
the day. The former may be compared to a gust
of wind suddenly cxtinguishins the lamp that is
in your hand: the latter, to lamp which can last
but a certain time, its light and brilliancy sink
lower and lower, and become more feeble with
every breath, and you watch the uncertain return
of its chickering's with the PAINFUL oppressive con-
victiou, that each one may be the last.
