of infantry fell on its left flank in close and
deadly volleys, causing it in its unsettled
state, to swerve to right At that instant
q whole brigade of cavalry thandered on
the right flank, and penetrated where the
cavalry had never gone before.
'sThat intrepid Guard could have borne
up against the unexpected fire from sol
.diers they did not see, and would have
rolled back the infantry that had boldly
charged its left flank, but the cavalry fin
ished the disorder into which they had
been nementarily thrown, and broke the
shaken ranks before they had time to re-
form, and the eagles of that hitherto in
vincible Guard were pushed backward
down the slope. It was then the Army,
seized with despair, shrieked out, The
Guard recoils The Guard recoils!' and
turned and fled in wild dismay To see
the Guard in confusion was a sight they
had never before beheld. and it froze every
heart with terror.
ssFor long time they stood and let the
cannon balls pillow through their ranks, dis
daining to turn their backs on the foe.-
Michel, at the head of those battallons,
fought like a lion. To every command of
the enemy to surrender, he replied, The
Guard dies-but never surrenders,' and
with his last breath bequeathing this glo-
rious motto to the Guard, he fell witness
to its truth. Death traversed those eight
battallions with such rapid footsteps that
they soon dwindled away to two, which
turned in hopeless daring on the over
whelming number thatpressed their re-
firing footsteps.
'Last of all but single battalion, the
debris Of the column of granite at Maren-
go, was left. Into this Napoleon flung
himself. Cambronne, its brave comman-
der, saw the Emperor in its frail keeping.
He was not struggling for victory, he was
intent only on showing how the Guard
should die. Approaching the Emperor,
he cried out, retire! Do you not sec that
death has no need Of you?' and closing
monrnfully yet sternly round the expiring
eagles, those brave hearts bade Napoleon
All eternal adieu, and, hinging themselves
on the enemy, were soon piled with the
enemy at their feet.
S'Many of the officers were seen to des
troy themselves rather than suffer defeat

Terrific Adventure in the Mammoth
Cave.

At the supposed end Of what has always
been considered the longest avenue of the
Mammoth Cave, nine miles from its en-
trance, there is pit, dark and deep and
terrible, known as the Maelstrom. Tens
Of thousands have gazed into it with awe
whilst bengal-lghts were thrown down it
to make its fearful depths visible, but none
ever had the daring to explore it. The
celebrated guide Stephen, who was deem
ed insensible to fear, was offered 5000 by
the proprietor of the Cave if he would de-
scend to the bottom of it, but he shrank
from the peril. A few years ago, Ten
nessee professor, a learned and bold man,
resolved to do what no man before him had
dared do, and, making his arrangements
with great care and precaution he had
himself lowered down by strong rope
hundred feet, but at that point his courage
failed him, and he called aloud to be
drawn ont. No human power could ever
have induced him to repeat the expert
ment.
A couple of weeks ago, however, a
young gentleman Of Louisville, whose
ing at the Mammoth Cave with Prof.
ed, no matter what the dangers and diff
culties might be, to explore the depths of
the Maelstrom. Mr.. Proctor, the enter
prising proprietor of the Cave, sent to
Nashville and procured a long rope, of
great strength, expressly for the purpose.
The rope and some necessary timbers were
borne by the guides and others to the point
of the proposed exploration. The arrange
ments being soon completed, the rope,
with heavy fragment of rock affixed to
it, was let down and swung to and fro to
dislodge any loose rocks that would be
likely to fall at the touch. Several were
thus dislodged, and the long: continued re-
ver5erations, rising up like distant thun-
der from below, proclaimed the depth of
the horrid chasm Then the young hero
of the occasion, with several hats drawn
over his head to protect it as far as posi-
bic against any masses falling from above,
and with light in his hand and the rope
fastened around his body, took his place
over the awful pit, and directed the half
dozen men who held the end of the rope,
to let him down into the Cimmerian
gloom.
We have heard from his own lips an ac
count of his descent. Occasionally masses
of earth and rock went whizzing past, but
none struck him. Thirty or forty feet
from the top, he saw a ledge, from which,
as he judged by appearances two or three
avenues led off in different directions
About hundred feet from the top, a cat
aract from the side of the pit went rushing
down the abyss, and, as he descended by
the side of the falling water and in the
midst of the spray, he. felt some apprehen-

sioh tiiaG MS llght would be extinguished !
but his care prevented this. He was land
ed at the bottom Of the pit, hundred and
ninety feet from the top. lie found it al
most perfectly circular, about 1S feet in
diameter, with a small opening at one
point, leading to fine chamber of no
great, extent. He found on the floor beau
tlful specimens OF black slick Of immense
size, vastly larger than were ever discoy-
cred in any other part of Mammoth Cave.
and also multitude of exquisite formations
as pure and white as virgin snow. Max
ing himself heard, with great effort, by
his friends, he at length asked them to pull
him partly up, intending to stop on the
way and explore cave that he had OBJ
served opening about forty feet above the
bottom Of the pit. Reaching the mouth
Of that cave, he swung himself with much
exertion into it, and holding the end of
the rope in his hand. he incautiously let it
60, and it swung out, apparently beyond
his reach. The situation was fearful one:
and his friends above could do nothing for
him. Soon, however, he made hook of
the end of his lamp, and, by extending
himself as far over the verge as possible
without falling, he succeeded in securing
the rope. Fastening it to rock, he fol-
lowed the avenue $50 or 200 yards to
point where he found it blocked by
an impossible avalanche of rock and
earth.
Returning to the mouth of this avenue,
he beheld an almost exactly similar mouth
OF another on the opposite side of the pit,
but, not being able to swing himself into
it, he refastened the rope around his body !;
suspended himself again over the abyss,
and shouted to his friends to raise him to

we're one, and the rope, being i'll adjusted
around his body, gave him the most ex-
crutiating pain. But soon his pain was
forgotten in a new and dreadful peril
When he was 80 feet from the mouth of
the pit, and 100 from the bottom, swaying
and swinging in tile mid air, he heard rap
id and exciting words of horror and alarm
above and soon learned that the rope by
which he was upheld, had taken fire from
the friction of the timber over which it
passed. Several moments of awful sus-
pense to those above and still more awful
to him below ensued. To them and him
a fatal and instant catastrophe seemed in
1evltable. snts the fire was distinguished
with a bottle of water belonging to him
self, and then the party above, though al
most exhausted by their labors, succeeded
in drawing him to the top. He was as
calm and self-possessed as upon his en-
trance into the pit, but all of his compan-
ions, overcome by fatigue, sank down up
on the ground, and his friend, Prof
Wright, from over exertion and excite
ment, tainted and remained for time in
sensible
The young adventurer left his name
carved in the depths Of the Maelstrom-
the name of the first and only person that
ever gazed upon its mysteries.-LoulsvaNe

The TURN OF LIFE.-From forty tt, sixty,
man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered as in the prime Of life.
Ills matured strength of constitution rem
ders him almost imperqious to the attacks
OF disease, and experience has given his
Judgment the soundness of almost infalli-
bility. His mind is resolute, firm, and
equal !; all his functions are in the highest
order, he assumes the mastery over busi-
ness; builds up a competence to the foun-
dation he has laid III early manhood, and
passes through a period of life attended by
many Qualifications. Having gone a year
or two past sixty, he arrives at critical
period in the road of existence, the river
OF death flows before him, and he remains
at a stand still. But athwart this river is
viaduct called sThe Turn Of Life" which,
if crossed in safety, leads to the valley OF
''old age,'' round which the river winds
and then flows beyond without boat or
causeway to effect its passage. The bridge
is, however. constructed of fragile mate
rials, and it depends upon how it is trod-
den, whether it bend or break. GCut, ap-
oplexy, and other bad characters also are
in the vicinity to waylay the traveller, and
thrust him from the pass but let him grid
up his loins and provide himself with fit
| ting staff. he may trudge on in safety with
perfect colnposnre TO quit metaphor,
| ssThe Turn OF Life" is turn either into a
| prolonged walk into the grave. The
system and powers having reached their
utmost expansion, now begin either to
close like flowers at sunset, OF break down
at once. One injudicious stimulant-a
single fatal excitement, may force it be-
yond its strength-whilst a careful supply
| of props. and the withdrawal Of all that
tends to force plant, will sustain 1t in
beauty and in vigor until night has entire
ly set in.
