From the Garks6urg Register.
The Frost-king.

From the Carksdurg Register.
The Frost-king.
The Frost King arose in mischieyous mooa,
One Saturday night in June;
And looking out from his easement wide,
Beheld bright new moon.
"'Tis glorious night for a ride" said he;
"The air is so cool and clear,
I'll mount my steed, and ere morning dawn,
III have travelled far and near
"'1is many year since had jaunt
In the rosy month of June;
So I'll hasten away while the clouds are gone,
And have the light of the moon.
"'Tll take the folks by surprise, know,
And catch them mapping too;
For they think am off on my Southern tour,
And have bid them long adieu.
"Their gardens looking so tempting and green,
And not dreaming that | am nigh,
They have not covered so much as bean,
So first rate chance haveI.
"Pll robe myself in my shaggy coat,
And put on my coldest frown;
And the leaf that carries the proudest head,
Shall, by morning, with shame, hang down,
"But have no time to lose" said he,
Gas I'm bent on having fun;
must travel many leagues onight,
And be back an hour by sum-"
He mounted his steed and away he rode
ring his hoar-trost round;
There was not garden IN all his track,
But by morning was cut to the ground
Not content with ravaging meaner things,
Destroying leaf aud stem,
He rudely brushed by the delicate flowers,
And left his blight on them.
He breathed as he passed on one l0rsLy rose,
Which lady bad cherished with care;
And when morning came you would scarce have know
That flower had fourished there.
But ne saw In the East, approaching morn
His breath, too, was we'll nigh spent;
So he hurriedy past Ger the wheat and corn,
Which he injured to some extent.
Then he hastened back to his cloudbuilt home,
Secure from the scorehns sun,
Aud looked from his window in grim delight,
On the mischief he had done.
The old man laughed with malicious glee,
As he peeped from behind cloud,
AT the dowu.cast look and fearful eye,
Aud murmurings deep and loud.
As neighbors met no smile was
But each bosom began TO swell,
Ii needed not the power of words,
The sorrowfu tale to tell,
The millers and farmers here and there,
In groups, along the street,
COnversed with melancholy air,
On the state of the corn and wheat.
Some thought the wheat entirely gone
Some did this idea fout,
While some still hoped the crop was safe.
They all were LETT in doubt.
Then the Frost King shut his window down,
And drew his curtain blue;
And left the earth to the kindier care
Of the and the gentle dew.

Almost all, if not all, the special correspon
dents of the French journals at The theatre ol
war have been sent back to Paris. The police
lately ordered the French journals not to say
,nvILipg more about the battle OF Magenta, and
10 consequence the account which NJ. TexleI
sent to the Steele was entirely suppressed. That
journal was reduced to excuse itself to its read
ers by saying, "Our correspondent has sent De
sucn q narrowing account OF the battle OF Ma.
eenta, that We think it desirable to suppress II,
not to distress our readers" 1t is reported
that the Emperor, in giving an order for the ex'
pulson of the correspondents, said, "Theee
gentlemen describe my battles as they would
new piece at the circus"

The Japanese Prize Ring.

No spectacle in japan is complete or even pos
sible, in which both spectators and performer
do not make several changes of costume. Oh
the stage this is matter of course with actor
and actresses, but it is also extended to the gu.
dience. Ladies who 60 to the play are accom-
panied by numerous servants and magni6cen
wardrobe; and in the course of the spectacle
which begins in the morning and ends late a
night, they retire several times, and when the,
return, it is in new and gorgeous attire.
The wrestlers are dressed and led out for show
and then they are undressed again; and spacs
being prepared, and ring formed they are d.
vided into two opposing parties. These TIVE
parties stand in the ring glaring at one another
then they tramp heavily backward and forwart
50 as to show their points, and enable spectator
to make up their betting books.
After this they retire, and all, with the ex
ceptlon of two, are again clothed in full dress
aud take up their position on the front seat
round the ring. The two who have been reserved
now come forward, with the simple cloth bount
round their loins, and walk with slow and de
liberate steps into the center of the ring. They
stand eyeing each other with wary look, glar-
ing with brutal terocty, each watching 6
chance to catch his antagonist off his guard
Aud as savage nature comes more and more
to the surface, they assume the look and even
the movements of two wild fierce bulls.
As they continue to eye each other, they stamT
heavily on the ground, paving the earth, as il
were, with impatience, and then they stoop
grasp handfuls OF earth, and fling it with an an
CRY toss over their backs They crouch down
low, still keeping their eyes fixed one on the
other, and watching lch movement; then in 9
moment there is sudden spring, great shock
as the massive frames strike each other, re-
bound, aud then the two monsters become one
monster, with many limbs heaving and strug
Cling, with great muscles rising in distinct out
line, with bloated faces, and gushes of purple
blood.
Prize-fghting in Japan is very much like
prize-6ghtDg in Eogland. But perhaps in Ja-
pan they recognize the nature of the exhibition
more truly than we do, and it is quite in charac
ter with the rest of the scene, and q Legitimate
demonstration, when the next antagonist lowers
his head and rushes at his opponent, believing
like bull. Let US leave the wrestlers, they will
all struggle in succession, and with like result
and then the man who can give and take most,
will stand painting and victorious, and will be
led off in triumph. The spectators meanwhile,
instead Of talking slang and looking disreputa-
bic, like the frequenters Of English prize fights
will 60 home to music, and poetry, and water
parties.
Perhaps in the evening of the same day we
shall find them in the company of ladies, sitting
by cool running stream or in q shady grove,
each with book The book may be of poetry
or containing religious and moral apophthegms
-HousehoM Words.

as Bundle, when Oliver Twist asked for more"

THE AUSTRIAN Accountable following is
the Austrian official account of the recent great
battle in Italy. 1t is a despatch dated Verona,
June 25th
"The day before yesterday our right wing oc,,
cupied Pozzoongo, Solferino and Cavriana, and
the left wing pressed forward as far as Gardez-
zolo and Gas Coffredo, but were driven back by
the enemy. A collision took place between the
two entire armies at ten o'clock, A. NJ, yester-
dsy. Our left, under Gen. Wimpen, advanced
as far as Chiese. In the afternoon there was
concentrated assault on the heroically defended
town of Solferino. Our right wing repulsed the
Piedmontese, but on the other haud the order
of our centre could not be restored, and our
losses are extraordinarily heavy. The develop
ment of powerful masses of the enemy against
our lett wing, and the advance OF his main body
against Volta, caused our retreat, which Degap
late in the evening"
The London Times says that the Austrlanss
have most csndidy admitted their deteat, and
that history scsrcel y records bulletin in which
such a disaster is more explicitly avowed.

ORIGIN OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD.-The I'M
perial Guard originated in the first campaign OF
Napoleon l., after the taking of Milan, when the
French were in pursuit of the retreating Aus
trians near the river Mincio. The circumstan-
ces are thus narrated by Abbott, in his life OF
Bonaparte:
"Though the Austrians were some fifteen
Thousand strong, aud though they had partially
demolished the bridge, the march of Napoleon
was retarded scarcely an hour. Napoleon was
that day sick, suffering from violent headache.
Having crossed the river, and concerted all his
plans for the pursuit of the flying enemy, he
went into an old castle by the river side to try
the effects of a foot.bath. He had but a small
retiuue with him, his soldiers being dispersed
in the pursuit of the fugitives.
He had Just placed bis feet in the warm water,
wien he heard the loud clatter of horses hoofs.
as q squadron of Austrian dragons gallopped in
to the cuurt-yard The sentinel at the door
shouted, ITO arms to arms! the Austrians u
Napoleon spraDg from the bath, hastily drew on
one boot, and with the other in bis hand, eaped
from the window, escaped to the garden through
the back gate, mounted horse, and gallopped
to Massena's division, who were cooking tnel'
dinner, at short distance from the castle. The
appearance of their comnader-in-chief among
them in such plight, reused the soldiers from
their camp kettles, and they rushed in pursuit
OF the Austrians, who, in their turn retreated.
This personal risk induced Napoleon to establish
body gnard, to consist of five hundred veterans,
of at least ten years. service, who were ever to
accompany him. This was the origin of the I'm
perial Guard, which in the subsequent wars oi
Napoleon obtained such world wide renown
