A LINE OF BArTLK.-Tou often read
aboat cline of battle" and. 1 dare
say, think that the two armies stand
in two lines; but il is not So. The army
is divided into DIVISIONS, and there are
often great gaps between The divisions.
They are posted in positions, or in COM
msnding places-that is, on hills, or in
woods, or on the banks of streams, in
places where they will be best able to
resist or attack the enemy. The divis-
ions are usually so placed that they can
support one another. When 1 was q
schooiboy, We had a game called
''gouId" FThe proper word was goal.
Two boys chose sides, and each party
had its ~gouid," or goal. One boy
would give "dare." Then boy Of
the opposite side came ont to catch him,
to make him prisoner; then a second
boy of the enemy came to help the FIRST
one on that side; then there was q chase,
and quite likely . capture. Oh, those
were grand old timesl dare say you
know all about it. Well, in some such
way, the divisions Of an army are
placed, to help each other. You can
understand q line of battle pretty well,
by imagining a regiment here on Hill,
another down in valley, third in
piece of woods, with artillery and cav
airy placed in the best positions. II
you,want to make it more real, when
you are oat in the fields or pastures,
with hills all around, just imagine that
the enemy is over on yonder bill, with
ten thousand men and twenty pieces Of
artillery. You are General, and have
an equal number. The enemy will
come down that road, spread out in the
field, or creep up through the woods,
and attack you. You can't exactly tell
how many men he viii send on the
right, or how many on the center, or
how many on the left. So you must
arrange your forces to support each
other. Then. to shift it, you are to
attack him. You don't know how his
troops are arranged, for he keeps them
concealed as well as be can. You don't
want many of your men killed, but do
want to win a victory. Now, there is
chance for you to try your skill in plan
ming line of battle. You must move
your infantry SO that they will not be
cut off by the enemy before they get
near enough to cut them up in return.
You see that it is no small thing to be a
General. There are great responsible
tiles.

With pleasure, I've read your late poem on
'Euehre, D q
And own that I've played it, but never for
With q trio of friends taking part in the play,
For amusement,-'pon honor in no other way,
And / think, from the game more truths may
be shown
Than are drawn from the trick of "gOing
alone"
You mix up the cards, in nonehalant way,
Or shuttle the deck, as the ard-plsyers say;
They're cut, and you deal from the left to the
right,
With the trump card turned up, and till play
ed, kept IN sight;
Then the player whose duty it is to begin
Says. "I'H pGss"-if he holds not the cards
that will win.
The man who is playing the great Game Of
Life,
And longs for the blessings of home and
wife,
Must beware lest he's caught in trap by a
shrew,
The cords of whose binding no priest can
undo:
Or hen wish, when wishing's forever too
late,
He had passed through the world, in baehe-
lor state.
Let the youth who is tempted to quaff the red
wine,
Sparkling and fresh from the vintage of Rhine,
Or, to drown IN the bacchanal revels of pirht
The goardlngs of conscience, remember the
bite
OF the venomous adder that Turks IN the glass
And, with resolute frnness, let the poisoned
cupP0ss.
Let the maiden whom Cupid, with unerinr
From his culver and bow has shot through the
Not be caught by the broadcloth and glitter
of wealth, u
But be sure that her lovers of worth and good
Or, the jack may turn out to be but an sss,
And she'll wish she had said, at the first, you
may pass.
If slander should ever assail your good name,
Or the tongue Of the eHvious detract from
your fame, M a .~rf .is
Don't heed them at an; your duties fulfill.
With conscience devoid Of al malice or in.
