Heroic ViYandiere.

Chasseurs, pretty woman of 22, and a
wife of one of the chasseurs, requested
permission of her husband, who was in the
reserve, to follow the attack and assist the

keg of brandy, a canteen of water, and a
package of linen and lint. she went for
ward into the thick of the fight, needless Of
the bullets, and dressed the wounds of many
of the men, and among them that of the
Cent Garde, who was struck in the head
when close to the Emperor. A short time
after, she found one of the chasseurs lying
on the ground, wounded in the side She
stopped down and gave him some water
with few drops of brandy in it. While
the man was drinking, ball broke her lit
tie finger. smashing the glass, and killing
the man. Madame Cros then proceeded to
the ambulance to have her wound dressed,
and while on the way saw a soldier named
Richie, both of whose legs had been perfor-
ated by a ball. Being wounded herself she
could not lift the man up, but she adopted
another expedient. She stopped down, and
telling him to clasp both his arms round her
neck, IN that manner she managed to drag
him TO the ambulance On the following
day Madame eros was told by the surgeon
that her finger must be amputated. e.Well,
Them she said, edo it at once and the
operation was effected without her utterino

which were broken by the bali, were after

Cows produce calves; calves grow into cat

". r Observer.

A mans force in the world, other things
being equal, is just in the ratio of the force
and strength of his heart. A full-hearted
man is always powerful man; if he be err
roneous. then he is powerful for error; il
the thing is in his heart, he is sure to make
it notorious, even though it may be down
right falshood. Let a man be ever SO i,
norant. still if his heart be full of love to a
cause, he becomes powerful man for that
object, because he has heart power, heart
force. A man may be deficient in many OF
the advantages of education. in many of
those niceties which are SO much looked up
on In society; butonce give him strong

"We've Struck kentucky"

1t Is well known TO most of our readers
that the enterprise of Tennesseeans has
constructed turnpikes in all directions from
this State to the Kentucky line, under the
promise from our kentucky neighbors that
they would continue them into their State.
All these pixies still end at the State line,
with no prospects of their being extended.
The consequence is that, in a season like
the present, when the roads are soft, and
there are frequnt rains and SHOWS, and heavy
crops tc haul over the roads, they get into
the most horrible condition, and it is no ex-
aggeration TO say that the traveller from
Tennessee absolutely drops into Kentucky;
and if he does not drop in SO deep that hor-
ses can't haul him out, he is lucky beyond
the average of his class.
A few days since, traveller from for
eign ports took passage on the two wheel

was enjoying good nap. From this nap.

where the Responsibility Belongs

The Hon. Jacob Collamer addressed the
Republican, Convention of Vermont, on
questions of national politics. Of slavery
he said:
There are set of men, such as Win
throp, Ketchum, Rives, and others, who
say the way to get out of all the difficulty on
the subject of slavery is for US to stop talk
ing about it. But can the talk stop? Did
we make the occasion for talk ? Did we
annex Texas, and on purpose to add power
to the Slave States? Did we repeal the
Missouri Compromise Act ? Do we go for
letting the slave trade be opened again p
Our action has been, and is, wholly on the
defensive. The aggressive movements come
all from the other side. and the remonstra-
tive gentlemen referred to might better di-
rect their discourse to those who compose
it. The eternal demand that whatever is
done to strengthen slavery we are not to
talk about it, reminded him of the Alabam-
ian, who, when bystander from the North
demonstrated against a proposed application
of Lynch law to some one, replied to him:
Stranger. look here; this is land of
liberty; we shall Lynch this fellow if we
please and You shall not say word about

Mr.. is man of Aldermanic pro-
portions. He chartered an outside car 10th
er day at Island Bridge Barrack, and drove
to the post Office. On arriving. he tender
ed the driver sixpence, which was strict
ly the fare though, but scant remuneration
for the distance. The jarvey saw at a glance
the small coin, but in place of taking the
money which Mr.. -- held in his hand.
he busted himself putting up the steps of
the vehicle, and then going to the boot a.
the back OF the car, took thence piece of
carpeting, from which he shook ostentatious.
Ily the dust. and straightway covered his
horses head with it. After doing SO, he
took the fare from the passenger, who, sur
prised at the deliberation with which the
jarvey had gone through the whole of these
proceedings asked: ''Why do you cover
the horses head % To which the iaryey,
with humorous twinkle of his eye, and to
the infinite amusement of the approving by
ISLANDERS, replied, "Why did I cover the
horses head ? Is that what you want to
know? Well, because didn't want to let
the dacint haste see that he carried so big
load so far for one little sixpence !'' It
should be added. in justice to the worthy
citizen. that half crown Immediately re-
warded the witty jarvey for his ready joke.
