ridge Of earth, suddenly rose and poured
a volley in their very faces. Another
and another followed till one broad sheet
OF fame rolled on their hosoms, and in
such fierce and unexpected tlow that
they staggered before It. Before the
Guard had time to rally again and ad-
vance. heavy column Of infantry fell
on its left flank IN close and deadly vol
ley, causing It, in It's unsettled state, to
swerve to the right. Al that instant a
whole brigade Of cavalry Numbered on
its right flank, and penetrated where
cavalry had never gone before.
The intre id Guard could have borne
up against the unexpected fire from SOL
diers they did not see, and would have
rolled back the infantry that had boldly
charged its left flank, but the cavalry fin
ished the disorder into which they had
been momen,arily thrown. and broke the
shaken ranks before they had time to re-
form. and the eagles of the hitherto in
vincible guard were pushed backward
down the slope. Il was then the army
seized with despair shrieked out, "The
Guard recoils the Guard recoils I" and
turned and fed in wild dismay. TO see
the Guard in confusion was a sight they
had never before behcld, and It froze ev-
cry heart with terror.
For long time they stood and let the
cannon balls pass through their ranks,
disdainiug to turn their backs on the foe.
Mitchell. at the head Of those hattalions
fought like lion. To every command
Of the enemy to surrender, he replied !;
"The Guard dies-but neversnrrenders y
And with his last breath bequeathed this
glorious motto to the Guards be fell a
witness to its truth. Death traversed
those eight battalions with such rapid
footsteps that they soon dwindled away
to two, which turned in hopeless daring
on the overwhelming numbers that press
ed their retiring footsteps.
Last OF all but a single battalion, the
debris Of the column Of granite" at Ma
' rengo, was left. Into this Napoleon flung
himself. Cambreuil. It's brave command.
- er, saw with terror the Emperor in il
I frail keeping. He was not struggling foi
u victory; he was content on showing hov
the Guard could die. Approaching th'
Emperor he cried out Retire do yoI
not see that death has no need Of you !?
{ aud closing mournfulIy, but sternly arount

Is were soon piled with the dead at thei
" feet.
" Many Of the officers we're seen to de
stroy themselves rather than suffer defeat
Thus greater even in its own defeat thai
any other corps Of men in ginning vic
tory, the Old Guard passed from th
'e stage. and the curtain dropped upon it
a strange career. II had fought its las

In his early life he was engaged as a

loaves Of bread, with more than a quart

ENCHANTMENT OF CHILDHOoD-ilow
true Is this, which we find atloat: "The
child'o eyes are enchanted, but lie does
not know it, and believes in all he SEES
lie does not doubt the simmer and the
glory of the scenes that lie before him.
10 him the future is no sandy de- ert
strewed with dead mems bones; II is a
wide spread savanna, fruitful as tropics,
and delightful as Elpsian plains. He gazes
down the vista of life, and every phantasm
seems to his ardent sight as real and
pleasant thing. There is not a pagean:
looming in the distance; there is not one
Of the di5solying views which hope creates
and fancy touches UP to bewidering
brightness, that the child does not accept
as real AMI soon proves so. All the prs-
matte views that appear to flash across his
forward path he thinks are really Lighting
it, and that he shall be touched and beau
titled by their radiance when once is he
there. Bright and fair is the apparent
prospect before him no wonder that the
child is ip haste to get on. There is
everything to lure him-freedom, plenty,
sweet gardens, flowing fountains, noble
forms, smiling faces, and beckoning hands
He sees the waving Of palms and the gilt
ter OF jewels; he hears the voice of trum.
pet and Of harp; oh . all is before him !;
on on, on. And on he rushes breathlessy,
to the end Of childhood, through youth
aud often into manhood, before he becomes
fully aware that shape, complexion, ard
mien of his phantoms have all been rapid
ly changing, and that what he took for
true worth and beauty, is, in reality, no
bette, than rare show or mira e of the
desert. At last, grown keen eyed by hard
lessons, he pierces through the cheat, and
sees the bare and barren seeds of life
For him there is afterwards no more en-
chan:ment.

Peabody was close BY and heard what was
said. A drove of jackasses was passing
by, and Mr. Clay thought it good oppor

Some of my readers may perhaps recol
lect the publication of descent by the
London police upon that den some time

how they had been decoyed from their pa

modern Fagin, and practiced in the ways
OF pilfering, for his profit In return for
their work he corrupted their appetites
for drink, and furnished them with means
Of of sexual license that made them soon
unfit for any other sort of life. When
the police made descent upon this
place they found all the gymnasia of
roguery In operation for juvenile tut
ton, and at the very momen. of their
entrance, these young pupils for the gal
lows were practlcing at the skirts OF coats,
hung loosely upon clothes lines, in order
to earn rewards from their preceptors, for
taking purse or handkerchief from the
poe ckels without shaking the line or dis
turbing the little bells that were attached
10 the ends Of the garment. There were
a great number of experienced old thieves

and the den ransacked Of its professors
