NUMBER l3.


How man feels when in battle is a
question that our volunteers have doubtless
frequently asked themselves. We yes,er-
day stumbled upon a volunteer on fur
Tough, who first smelt powder at Bull Run.
During an hours chat with him he gave
US very good general idea of the way in
which man feels when under an enemy's
gun. Our friend didn't claim to be es.
pecially courageous. He placed due value
upon the integrity Of the American Eagle,
but enlisted mainly because he had no
other employment at the time. He did
camp duty faithfully, and endured the
hardships Of long marches without any
special grumb!ing, That he dreaded
to confront the enemy he freely admirs--
While willing at any time 10 kick bigger
man than himself under justifiable provo.
cation, he disliked the idea of the sudden
sensation impaired BY bayonet thrust in
the abdomen, while only second TO this
was his horror of being cut down with q
rifle ball like an unsuspecting squirrel.
When his regiment was drawn up III line
he admits that his teeth cha,,ered and his
kneepans ratified like pot-closet in hur-
rcane Many Of his companions were
similarly affected, and some Of them would
! have lain down had they dared 10 do so.
When the first volley had been inter-
charged, our friend informs us, every
trace Of these feelings passed away lsom
| him. A reaction took place nDd he lie.
came almost savage from excjtemeus.-
Balls whi;tled all about him, Gnd n eau
| non shot cut in half a conrale at his side.
Another was struck by some explosive
| that spatterei the brains over the clothes
Of our informant, but, SO far from intimi-
| dating, all these things nerved up his res
olution. The hitherto quaking civilian in
| half an hour became veteran. His record
| shows that he bayoneted two Of the rebel
enemies and discharged eight rounds Of
| his piece with as decisive an aim as though
he had selected a turkey for his mark
! Could the entire line Of an army cone at
the same time into collision, he says there
would be no rnnning except after hopeless
defeat. -
The men who had played the runaway
at Bulls Run were men who had not par
ticipated in the action 20 any extent, and
who became panic stricken where, S once
smelling powder in the manner above de-
scrbed tl.ey would have been abundantly
victorious. In the roar Of musketry aud
the laundering discharge of artillery ther.
i. music that bauishes every innate cow
ardce. The sigh, Of men struggling to.
ge,her, the clash Of sabres, the tramp Of
cavalry, the gore-stained grass of the bat
tie field, and the coming charge Of the
enemy dimly visible through the battle
smoke-all these: says our intelligent iu
formant, dispei every particle OF fear and
the verjest coward in the vaulS perhaps
becomes the most tger-ihr

"a have acted very unwisely. | could
have followed up nv victory, and have
taken the whole of the Russian and Aus
trian armies. They are both entirely in
my power. But-let it be. 1t will at
least cause some less tears to be she'd --
Napoleon returned with the utmost ra-
pidity to Paris, leaving the army to follow
by easy marches, which occupied three
months.
In the Place Vendome, in Paris, there
stands a monumental obeisk in bronze,
reared in homer of the army which achieved
this wonderful campaign. The monument
is constructed Of cannon taken from the
enemy. 1t was the design of Napoleon
to have the summit crowned by a statue
of peace, but the nation decided that the
statue of Napoleon, whose genius had dis
persed the armies Of combined despotisms,
should surlnount this trophy of his own
achievements. When the allies subse-
quently drove Napoleon from France, and
renstated the Bourbons. they hurled the
statue Of the Emperor from its proud ele-
vaton. But the French nation have
again replaced it upon the summit Of the
shaft, and there it will remain until that
monument shall crumblc to the dust.

Sharp Trading.

In the village of W. lived aaman, who
had once been Judge of the, County, and
was known all over it by the name Of
Judge L. He kept store and saw mill
and was always sure to have the best of
bargain on his side, by which means he
had gained an ample competency, and
some did not hesitate to call him the
biggest rascal in the world He was
very conceited withal, and used to delight
to brag of his business capacity, when
any one was near to listen. One rainy
day, as quite number were seated around
the stove in the store, he began, as usual,
to tell of his great bargains, and at last
wound up with the expression" Nobody
has ever cheated me nor they cant nei-
tier
Judge" said an old man Of the COM
paay, i've cheated you more than you
ever did me-
How so p said the Judge.
If you'll promise you won't 80 70 law
about it, nor do nothing, I'll tell, or else
wont-for you're too much Of a law char
acter for me-"
Let's hear! let's heart cried half a
dozen or more voices.
"Ill PROMISE said the Judge, "and
treat in the bargain. if you have
well, do you remember that wagon
you robbed me out off,
Il never robbed you Of any wagon"
exclaimed the Judge, | only got the best
of bargain
"WeIl, | then made up my mind to
have it back, and
"You never did T. interrupted the cute
Judge
% Yes did-and Interest too
How so p Numbered the now enraged
Judge.
We'll, you see, Judge, I sold you one
day very nice pine log, and barga!ned
with you for 10, more. Well, tina, log |
stole of your pile, down by your mill, the
night before, and the next day sold it to
you The next night drew it back home,
and sold it to you the next day and SO |
kept on until you bought your own log OF
me twenty seven times ~
That lie p exclaimed the infuriated
Jndge, running 10 his books, and examin-
ing his log accounts; you never sold
me twenty seven logs of the same meas
urement."
II know it, said the vender Of logs
"By drawing it back and forth the en- ds
wore off, and as it wore, kept cutting the
ends of, until i, was only ten feet long
Just fourteen feet shorter than it was the
first time brought it, and when it got sc
short, drew it home again aud worked il
up into shingles and then l concluded
had got my wagon back and slowed in my
pocket book"
The exclamation of the Judge was
drowned in the shouts Of the bystanaers,
aud the log drawer found the door without
the promised treat. And, to see mad
man, you have only to ask the Judge if he
ever was shaved. N. o. Picayune.

THE Battle OF LIFE The battle of
life, in by far the greater number OF cases,
must necessarily be fought up hill and to
win it without struggle we're, perhaps,
to win it without honor. II there were no
difficulties, there would be no success if
there were nothing to struggle for, there
would be nothing to be achieved Difficult
ties may in,imdate the weak, but they act
only as a stimulus to men Of pluck and
resolution. Al experience of lite, indeed
serves to prove that the impcdiments
thrown in the way Of human advance
ment may, Tor the most part, be overcome
by steady good conduct, honest zeal, acti.
vity, perseverance, and above all, by
determined resolution to surmount diti-
onl,iss, and stand up man'ully against
misfortune.

THE SHADOwLESS.

That terrible old legend a,.
Of the one
Whose frame had lost its shadow
In the sun
How wildly, oh, how sadly
Casped his hands
When he saw no proof Of presence
In the lands!
What days Of white ,lipp'd terror
In the light,
As be prayed to the mocking sunbeam
For the mig int
The night, for then, then only
Hid the curse
OF walking without responses
The Universe.
O soul read'st thou the meaning
Wrapp'd Of yore
In that legend of the shadowless
On the shore :?
Had he lost his sacred uses
Therefore naught
His frame on hill and valley
Ever wrought?
Soul tremble at the legend
OF that one;
Lose not thy sacred uses
In the sun.
On thee shall also blacken
The awful curse
OF walking without responses
Gods Universe
