idea of the character and magnitude of this
| dreadful scene. As a general thing the wound
| ed made but little noise. Many of them were
too much exhausted, nome of them crieC
aloud, and comparatively few could be heard
to groan. But there was no mistal1ing the
expression of their faces, which spoke of in
tense agony in spite of all their efforts to sup
press and conquer it. As 1 was riding through
the principal street in Castiglione this after
noon, passing the largest hospital, saw lyihg
in the street close to the wall. fifty or sixty
Austrian wounded who had just been brought
in from the field, and for whom no place within
the building could yet be found. One of them
a large, powerful man. with an intelligent face.
was sitting upright with his back against the
wall and uttering with chattering sound the
most intense and heart-rending yells of pain
He looked eagerly into the faces of every one
who passed, as if he must have help==but he
could only wtsit his turn. In another part of
the town. on pfossroad leading from the hill
in front of s,aferino I met twenty-one OK
carts laden with Austrians in every stage of
suffering. One Of the carts contained but

they had half risen to their knees, grappled
one another by the shoulder and were gazing

SPEAR WELL OF OTHERS.

If the disposition to speak well of others
were universally present, the world would be-
come a comparative paradise. The opposite dis
position is the Pandora box, which, when open
ed, fills every house with pain and sorrow. How
many enmities and heart burnings flow from
this source. How much happiness is interrupted
and destroyed. Envy. jealousy, and the ma
lignant spirit of evil, when they find vent by
the lips, go. forth on their mission like foul
fiends to blast the reputation and peace of 9TH
ers. Every one has his imperfections, and in
the conduct of the ,.est there will be occasional
faults, which might seem to justify animadver-
sion. 1t is a good rule, however, when there
is occasion for fault finding, to do it privately
to the erring one. This may prove salutary.--
1t is proof of interest in the individual, which
will generally be taken kindly, if the mauner
of doing it be not offensive. The common and
hnchristian rule, on the contrary, is to proclaim
the faults of others to all but themselves.

Life at W est Point.

A correspondent Of the Daily Times, in his
account Of the annual examination at West
Point, which was concluded on the 18th ut.,
draws picture Of cadet life which is not like
ly to increase the zeal of patriotic young gen.
tiemen to earn the right to serve their country
by five years course at q military academy
At five O'Clock during the summer, aud half
past six during the winter reveie is sounded.
Then there is dressing in hot haste. Bed
clothes are to be put away. and the room is to
be arranged for inspection within half an hour,
everything placed in the most exact order the
muskets being ranged in the rack standing in
one corner. Till seven o'clock the cadets are
supposed to study. Half an hour is then al
lowed for breakfast. At halcpast seven there
| is guard mounting, and then comes the first
half hour of recreation. At eight O'Clock
class parade occurs, and from then till half
past nine at night the time is occupied in
studying and various military exercises with
the exception of half an hour each for dinner
and supper, and thirty minutes before two
Ocock and from four till 7ttaeet, which is al
lowed for recreation. At ha!Epast nine the
tattoo is beat, and at ten o'clock every light
must be eXtinguished.

but imagine it repeated day after day and
month after month, for five years, with 70 in
terruption but that which Sunday gives and
it seems strange that so riiang graduate as
eventually do. At the end Of the first two
years there is IL furlough of several weeks, this
being the only time during the course in which
| the cadet is allowed to leave the Academy.
For all this drilling the cadets receive $50
| per month. From this sum they are required
to pay for board 50 to $40 Fer month"; and for
washing 81. Other expenses, clothing, etc,
consume nearly the whole of this allowance
BY the strictest economy some manage, during
the five years course, to save Sl00. Nothing,
however, is paid over to them till they gradu-
ate The officers take good care that the ca
diets shall have no oFfportunitF Of indulging in
luxuries. Their fare is Of the plainest kind
and there is but solitary refreshnIent saloon
near by where their presence is at all tolerated
by the powers that be. Here they are al
lowed to expend one dollar month in the
luxuries of the season, but when Strawberries
and ice cream cost twenty-five cents dish, the
young gentlemen are not particularly liable tC

"Lzr US ATE BE FRIENDS =

No sort of qnarreling pays. 1t is always
more profitable to have the good will and the
good opinion of any man than to count him an
enemy The humblest man has some influence,
and it is better to have that on our side than
against US. If we quarrel with one who can
not himself injure u.s. he may have relatives or
friends whose good word might one day be use
full. Or, if he is such perfect outsider, as to
have neither friend, relative influence, il
seenls like small business to quarrel with sc
forlorn an individual, Amiability is SO lovely
o virtue that men instinctively admire its fort
innate posessor, and when he comes in contac,
with cross grained, quarrelsome individual
his own good nature shines more brightly by
reason of the contrast.
We may safely promise largely increased en-
ioyment to him who becomes reconciled to al
old foe 1t is not wise to nurse quarrel anc
Keep it warm by brooding over real or imaginary
injuries. And the road to peace is very plair
and strait if we have been hasty, or unkird, o
inconsiderate, there is nothing so manly anf
honorable as prompt acknowledgment OF oul
fault or folly, and none but brute will refus
proffered reconciliation. On the other hand i
we have been injured, let remember that w
also need pardon for many Offences ard we ais
need grace to ask that pardon, and we viii fnt
it hard to withhold our forgiveness.

Those Terrible Eouaves.

The following description of the Zouaves-
the most efficient portion of the French army
is taken from the report of Capt. George
B. M'Clellen, who was one OF the United
States military officers sent to the seat of war
in Europe in 1855, to collect information on
military subjects
The dress of the Zouaye is of the Arab
pattern the cap is loose fez, Or skull-cap, Of
scarlet felt, with tasse turban is worn
over this in full dress a cloth vest and loose
Jacket which leave the neck unincumbered by
collar, stock, or cravat, cover the upper por-
ton Of the body and allow free movement of
the arms the scarlet pants are of loose ORR
entail pattern, and are tucked under garters
like those of the Foot Rifles Of the Guard ;
the overcoat is a loose cloak, with hood; the
Chasseurs wear similar one The men say
that this dress is the most convenient possible
and prefer it to any other.
The Zouaves are all French they are Sc
lected from among the old campaignars for
their fine physique and tried courage and have
certainly proved that they arc what their ap-
pearance would indicate-the most reckless
selfreliant and complete infantry that Europe
can produce. With his graceful dress soldiery
bearing, and vigilant attitude, the Zouave al
an outpost is the beau-ideal of a soldier. They
neglect no opportunities of adding to then
personal comforts if there is a stream in the
vicinity, the party marching or pickets is sure
to be amply supplied with fishing rods, etc
If anything is to be had, the Zouaves are quit'
certain to obtain it.
Their movements are the most light ant
graceful have ever seen; the stride is long
but the foot seems scarcely to touch the grounC
and the march is apparently made withou
effort or fatigue. The steps of the Foot Ri
hes is shorter and quicker, and not easy AM
graceful
! The impression produced by the appearance

of these two corps is very different; the Rifles
look ike active, energetic little fellows, who
would find their best field as skirmishes but the
Zouaves have combined with all the activity
and energy of the others, that solid ensemble
and reckless individuality which would render
them alike formidable when attacking in a mass
or in defending position in the more desper-
ate hand-to-hand encounter. OF all the troops
[ have ever seen, l should esteem it the great
est honor to assist in defeating the Zouaves.--
The Grenadiers of the Guard are all large
men, and iinc-looking, soldiery set.
The Voltigeurs are mall active men, but
larger than the Rifles, They are light intan-

ILLusIoN.

There is nothing 50 real in this world as ilIu-
sion. All other things may desert man, but
this fair angel never leaves him. She holds a
star a billion miles over baby's head, and
laughs to see him eEawing and battling himself
as he tries to reach it. She glides before the
hoary sinner down the path which leads to the
inexorable gate, jingIing the keys af Heaven at
her girdle.--The Autocrat.
