TIE CANTINrEREs AND VIvANDIEREs OF THE FRENCH ARMY.-We believe there is no army in Europe, save that of France, which possesses an Amazonlan rearguard-a rearguard, however, only in so fur that it is the duty of those who com pose it to follow the battalions to which they are more immediately attached.
 To every battalion of the French army, both cavalry and infantry, are attached a certain number of cantinaeres and Daoan- dieres, in accordance with the permission of the commanding officer. Some regi- ments have only three, others four; while tbe regiments of Zouaves and Chasseurs can boast of as many as SIX. Whether the women are more particularly attached to the costume, or to the gallant bearing of the men who compose these regiments, we are unable to say. They are for the most part well-conducted and brave wo- men, and are generally the wives of men belonging to the regiment, or regiments, to which they are attached.
 The duty of the cantinaeres is similar to that of the holder of canteen, when the SitlSlt ID HI Uulid1hS, VI HuNAeSAS' " ASiA before an enemy in the field, they supply the men with spirits, wine, tobacco, and occasional luxuries in the way Of food, and mot unfrequently provide a table for the officers; whereas the vivandieres follow the regiment, Gas do the caatinseres also, ) on the line of march, and even to the battle field, where, often under fire, they present the refreshing cup of wine or eaa'- de-vic, from the little keg swung across their shoulders, to the parched lips of the wounded or dying soldier. In one in- stance, during the Crimean war, a vaoan- daere, who was standing by the side ot wounded soldier of the corps 10 which she belonged, is known to have reloaded the fireIock which had fallen from his hands, and fired on the retreating foe.
 | Among the men of the regiments to which the vivGndieres are immediately at tached, It is held as point oi honor to protect them from insult and danger while they on their part, are ever ready to sacrifice their own comforts, and some- times even their lives, to succor wound ed comrade; and they regard every man of the regiment as comrade.-l Illus trated News.

But Don Alfonso had a dread

But Don Alfonso had dread
OF something worse than 'prisonment-
For luck like his is seldom sent,
Without some evil at the head,
Or heart it matters little which
To linn who is a captive led
Into prison or ditch.
Although he knew what might befall
Him, in this worse than hopeless case.
He dwelt upon the chances all
And friends, at need, within his call
Who, II they had not grown too base,
Might.surely some assistance lend
Such as the fates are apt to send,
BY accident to those who feel
The pangs of the oppressors steel.

One mournful look upon the place
That held the treasure of his heart,
Was the farewell that bid them part
Save bright tear that on his face
A moment glitter'd and pursu'd
Its channel down the sadden'd cheek
His spirit seem'd somewhat subdued,
Yet his still tongue refused to speak.
But oh there was an inward pang--
Which is unknown to outward sign
That man, nor fiend can e'er divine
Swift DER his nervous system rang.
Few, few there be, who have not knelt,
A suppliant at beauty's shrine,
Or delved into the affections mine
And had their hopes forever broken
With ev'ry tie and worldly token--
Can tell the pang Alfonso felt
As from the scene that once was gay,
He voiceless, sighing turn'd away.

Aud all the world is arm'd for strife,
Blasting much merry revelry.

Dim hopes are tickle, yet the mind
Clings to the phantom with zeal
Til at leaves all incidents behind,
Except the one who deeply feel.
Yet this lone beacon is star,
Whose distant CLEAN and glimm' ring light
Though dimly shining from afar,
Illumines many victims night.
How often does the wand'ring thought
Traverse the immensity of space
Running a wild electric chase
For that, il found, as often sought,
Would change, of earth, the very face,
And end, in fact, the human racer
But the ehimera of his mind
Was of very diff rent cast
Freedom was all before-behind-
Around, the holy, withring blast
OF monks enraged-of fury dire,
With vengeance loudly threat'ning fire.

What sound awakes Bembibre's hills.
When all is gaiety belowG
Why terror ev'ry bosom fills,
When peace and harmony should flow
Like oil upon the waters foam,
And bid the giant terror roam?
Still louder comes the thund ring sound
Upon the winged echo's breath,
And from the tow'ring hills around,
With heightened stride and yell of hound
A troupe of monks-with cry of death,
Came sweeping to the vale below,
Prepared to strike deadly blow.

Can o er your destinies subside;
Fly quickly with your Gallo
They come, they come with bloodhound speed,
zincali's fly Your danger heed;
For who can triple force Withstand,

Has raised the dreadful cry of blood,

Swift feet are on Bembibre's plain;
Loud cries are in the midnight air,
Some shout a triumph--some despair;
But others ply their legs amain,
As if-the truth-their very lives,-
Their hopes-their children and their wives
Depended on their utmost speed;
In truth, of this, there was much need;
For who would trust an humble saint
When armed to kill wicked sinner;
For In his fancy one might paint
A sad uncertainty who's winnerl
But most of all, Alfonso flew
For none their vengeance better knew
Across the wide extended plain,
In hopes thedistant wood to gain;
Nor stopp'd he for his Gallo bride

Papeta was all loveliness
The brightest spirit of the throng,
She seemed the very one to bless
One though this weary life along.
Her air was easy and her grace
Was queenly in the wide extreme
Beside, the smile that lit her face
Was but the real Of beauty's dream.
To her the beaux all homage paid;
The bellies withheld no needed aid,
And all was gaiety and life,
Where moved the happy Gallo wife.
The light fandango's mazy reel
Woke the bright spirits of the gay;
And some were brilliant as the day,
When Nature set tn approving seal
On all the world and call'dit good,
From mountain top to running flood,
