A PERFECT LAwYER.-An English writer Of
the seventeenth century has given sketch Of
"the character Of perfect lawyer" The
concluding sentence Of the eulogy is asfollows:
In word, while he lives, he is the delight
Of the court, the ornament of the bar, the glory
of his profession, the patron Of innocence, the
upholder Of right, the scourge Of oppression,
the terror Of deceit and the oracle Of his
country when death calls him to the bar Of
heaven by haJeas corpus cum causus, finds the
Judge his advocate, non.suits the devil, obtains
I5erate from all infrmities, and contin uea
still one Of lifelong robes in glory.

The Females of the French Army.

We believe there is no army in Europe,
save that of France, which possesses an ANA
zonian ar-guard-a guard, however,
only in so far that 1t is the duty of those who
compose it to follow tho battalions to which
they are more Immediately attached.
10 every battalion Of the French army, both
cavalry and infantry, are attached certain
number Of cantinieres and vivandieres, in &C.
cordancc with the permission Of the command
ing officer. Some regiments have only three,
others four; while the regiments Of Zouaves and
Chasseurs can boast Of as many as six.
Whether tho ladies are particularly attached to
tho costume, or to tho gallant bearing Of the
men who compose thoso regiments, we are
unable to say. These, for the most part woll
conducted and brave women, are generally the
wives of men belonging to the regiment or
regiments to which they are moro Immediately
attached.
The duty Of tho cantinieres is similar TO that
Of the holder Of q canteen when the regiment
is in barracks or quarters. When before an
enemy in the field, they supply the men with
spirits, wine, tobacco, and occasionally luxuries
in the way Of food, and not unfrequently pro-
vide table for the officers; whereas the VIVIAN
diere follows the regiment las do the cantinieros
also) on the line Of march, and even to the
battle field where, often under fire, they present
the refreshing cup of wine, or eau do Uie, from
the little keg swung across their shoulders, to
tho parchod lips Of the wounded or dying
soldier. In one instance during the Crimean
war, a vivandiere who was standing by the
side of wounded soldier Of the corps to which
she belonged is known to have reloaded the
firelock which had fallen from his hands, and
fired on the retreating foe.
Among the men Of tho regiments to which
the vivandieres are Immediately attached it /,
held as point Of honor to protect them from
insult and danger; while they, on their part
are ever ready to sacrifice their own comforts
and at times even their lives, to succor ,
wounded comrade, and they regard every mar
Of the regiment as comrade.
