SOMEWHAT LuDrcRoUs.-The bravery of the
Zouaves is undoubted, but there are stories in
circulation in gard to their effective exercises
which border upon the whimsical. One writer,
in speaking of them, says that the art Of box
ing with the feet is peculiar to Fance, and in
this the Zouave has been instructed, so that in
personal rencontre his first act is to parry the
weapon of his opponent, his second to PROSTATE
him by kick in the breast. his third to stab
him to death with the keen bayonet. All this
marks that it is not surprising that two Austri-
an divisions. numbering twenty thousand men,
admirably Dosted and defended by a battery,
were completely overwhelmed in recent battle
by three battalions of Zouaves. Fancy three
Zouave battalions in the act OF prostrating there
opponents by one universal kick Probably
these wild sons of Mars wear the heaviest bro
gans.

Hymn to the People.

hymn to the People,
BY C. d. STUART.
Not to be blest with warrior strength,
To WELD the sword and wear the Slaive,
Or rise to conquerors fame at length,
Proclaims the good or makes the brave.
To have the power to bide the scorn,
And rise above the hate and strife
Of those TO wealth and title born,
Is ths crcwn'd courage of our life.
What are the swords that prop a king
The banners in his arm,'s van
To strength of soul that dares to spring
And show the monarch in the MAN.
Kings and the mig htiest men of arms,
Strong as the heads of realms they biie,
Sport as they may with f1rtune's charma,
They are like leaves upon the tide.
In dim of old sepulchres they lie,
The feast of silence and decay,
While the true world-heart beateth high
And thrones itself upon to-day
Give me the man whose hands have tossed
The eorn-seed to the mellow soil
W hose feet the forest depths have crossed
Whose brow is nobly crowned with toll.
