viii You Go!

Say not that other climes are fair
And lovelier than our own
That flowers bloomo on other shores, ss4
Where you may find home
What though the sun shines brighter there,
No cold, nor frost, nor mow--'aiapca
It would be Winter in thy heart 49,.
Without lido not go!
Obi do not dream that lapse Of time 1
Can heal the broken heart:
The friends we find are ne'er so dear
AS those from whom we part. fi.sfs
Lonely you'll be--yolell surely be,
Far from the ones you know!
Many will be your hours of pain -. SOS
And sorrow-can you go?
Yet more--though you may chance to find
In other lands hons; 9za
Though you may meet warm friends and klnt
When far away You roam
Do you not hear my spirits voice 90
Pleading in murmurs low? e 81 4

Ieround. Great was the consterna-
! ton in the camp. On being taken
up, it was found that cannon-ball
had passed between the Princes legs
and wounded him severely in the
thigh. The Annual Register states
that he vas so severely wounded,
that he was compelled to relinquish
the command Of the army. Prince
Menschikof is one Of the most extern
siye landed proprietcrs in the empire,
and counts his serfs by thousands;
but his avarice is unbounded, though

is on the most lavish footing.--
His hatred to foreigners is intense.
Not one even an ambassador, has ever
been permitted to enter bis palace.
| Francis Canrobert, the successor
Of the Count st. Arnaud, and the
Commander-in-C Chief Of the French
forces, was born in the Department Of
Lot. In 1885 be embarked for ,Af.
rica, where he distinguished himself
and won the applause os his superior
officers. He returned to France in
1889, with the decoration Of the Le-
gion Of Honor, and in 1910 he was
on duty at the camp Of st. Omer.
In lS4l he returned to Africa, and
again signalized himself. In lS48,
while the cholera was raging in the
garrison Of Aumale, Col Canrobert
distinguished himself by bis courage
and bis labors. He returned 10
Paris in 1850, and took the command
of brigade Of infantry, and was
also attached to the Prince President
Of the Republic as Aid de- Camp
On the 14th Of January, 1858, he
was appointed Generalof Division,
and more recently he was placed at
the head Of the First Division Of the
army of the East. At the battle
Of the Alma be received 8 wound, and
before his departure, he was known
to be occupied in profound studies,
having for their object knowledge
Of the theatre Of war, as if ne had

Love OF MARRIED LIFE.-The af-
feeiion that links together man and
wife, is a far holier and more endur-
ing passion than the enthusiasm OF
young love. 1t may want its gor-
geousness-it may want its imag;n-
alive character, but it is far richer in
holy and trusting attributes. Talk
not to us Of absence Of love in we'd

ly been recorded. The fact is, that
when men discover the terrible ei-
fects of this new enginefor their de-
struction, they begin to think more
seriously Of war. The old battles
fought without gunpowder were not
half so much to be dreaded as mod
ern war. The battles of Ptolemy
and Camises, kings of Egypt, of
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and
Xerxes of Susa, were Of a class that
may be compared to mighty host
Of robbers sacking country with
little or no danger to themselves
What a contrast do such battles pre-

source Of powder in gunpowder lies
with the saltpetre. This substance,
termed nitrate Of potash, consists OF
nitric acid and potash. Now, the nj
trio acid is, as it we're, an immense
volume of fatmospherioair, condensed |
into solid, ready on demand as
sumo the air form by the touch OF
spark Of fire. When sulphur and
charcoal are mixed with nitre (salt-
petre,) and a spark is applied, the
sulphur (brimstone) ignites, setting
FIRE to the charcoal. Air is applied
to these substances by the decompo- |
sition Of the nitre; the atmosphere
condensed therein instantly unites
with the combustible, and the result
is an intensely hot gaseouscompound,
two thousand times the bulk of the
original solid. The English govern
ment gunpowder is composed Of 10
parts Of nitre, Is Of charcoal, and ten
of sulphur. The Russian govern
ment powder consists Of 73s parts
of nitre, l34 Of charcoal, and 12a Of
sulphur. -.
