The French Zouaves I'm the CrI.

The following sketch illustrates the cool
way in which the French soldiers take
serious things:
At Balaklave bugler was sounding the
charge while the grapeshot hurled around
him, when a passing ball tore away his
right arm; catching no his instrument
with his left hand. he said, turning to the
comrades who gathered around him to ex-
press their sympathy:
''Egsd was lucky that di6u't learn
to play the violin"
On another occasion the Zouayes had
allowed themselves to be carried 50 far by
their ardor, that they had narrowly escap-

restrain them, and when be saw them re-
turning, decimated mutilated and exhaus-
ted. he could not avoid repremandiug them,
and. to add force to his reproaches, he
threatened not to take them out another
time if they did not behave with a little
more prudence
The Zouaves hung down their beads and
made no answer but on the next day there
was another engagement At this time il
was Col. Cler's time to be carried awav by
that fever which fires the blood in the heat
OF battle, and a moment came when he
found himself cut of from his trOops, sur
rounded on all sides by infuriated Rus
SANS, and on the point of being made a
prisoner.

end Of Russia to the other" said the brave
Colonel ; 'it were better to die"
And with this he was just darling again
into the thickest of the fight, to seek a Clio.
rious death, when the Zouaves, who had
just noticed the absence Of their Colonel,
and knew that be was to be found nowhere
but IN front, fell like tornado upon the
very centre of the adverse columns, aud
dashed everything to pieces that resisted
their attack.
In five minutes the Colonel was extrica-
ted, and the regiment quietly returned to
camp.
However. as he was passing along in
front of soldiers, the Colonel remarked a
smile of ironical good will on every lip,
and noticed the men nudging and whisper

THE CIVILIANS AT BULL RUN.


R. TRACY.
Have you heard OF the story so lacking in glory,
About the Civilians who went to the Fight,
With everything handy, from Sandwich to brandy,
To fill their broad stomach s and make them all tight.
There were bulls from our State street, and cattle
from Wall street,
And members of Congress, to the great fun;
Newspaper reporters (some regular snorters)
On a beautiful Sunday went to Bull Run.
Provided with passes as for as Manassas,
The portly Civilians rode jolly along,
Till the sound of the battle, the roar and the rattle
or cannon and market, drowned laughter and song
Their hearts were all willing to witness the killing,
When the jolly civilians had CHI osen their ground,
They drank and they nbbled-reporters they scrbled
While shot from the cannon were flying around.
But nearer the rattle and storm Of the battle
Approached the Civilians, who a show;
The terrible thunder filed them with wonder
And trembling, aud quaking with fear of the fee.
The helPsegg-shells flying the groans of the dying,
Soon banished their pleasure and ruined their fun.
There terrible slaughier,-blood ran like water
When Civilians were picnicking down at Bull Run.
Their forms Aldermanic shaken with panic
When he"Black Horse sweep down like cloud
on the plain;
They run heller skelter; their fat bodies swelter-
They ny from the field thickly strewn with the slain
Obi save me from their rage; Obi give me my car
riagel
The Civilians cry out at the sound of each gun;
No longer they're frisky with brandy and whiskey,
No longer they seek for a fight at Bull RUM
Did they come down there bamyt stampede the army
1t would seem SO, for how like a Jehu they drive!
Ger the dead and the wounded their vehicles bounded
They caring for naught but to get home alive.
For the sharp desolaton that struck through the
nation,
We hold to account the Civilians and-Ruml
When our soldiers next go to battle the foe,
May portiy Civilians be kept here at h.me
