Advantages or Crying.

A French physician is, cut in a long
dis, rtion on tbe advantages Of groaning
and crying in general, and especially dur
ing surgical operations He contends that
grOaning aud crying are the two grand op-
elatiOns BY which nature allays anguish (;
that those patients who give aWay-iO their
natural feelings more speedily recover from
accidents and operations than those who
suppose it unworthy a man to betr3y suck

curt, decisive way of doing things.

Fighting vas his forte, and yet he
is the "mldest hammered man" that
ever slashed a rebel crown with saber.
1t is related ofhim that he fought his
way through West Point, and almost
fought his way out, We have his
own confession, that during his last
year he had only "fve points" to
make to be elpernitted to retire without
the hoaoEs of the institution. The
management ofthose ''Gve points was
a difficult and delicate operation.
Nevertheless, he graduated with dis
tinction, and was one of the most pop
ular men Of the Academy.
Your first view Of him disappoints
you little. Imagination always
plays mischief with your estimate
Of hero whom you have not seen
heroic stature, handsome face, COM

wiry, strong little man, not over FIVE
feet seven, or a half inch more, but
with broad shoulders and strongly
knit frame-weighilg perhaps one
hundred and forty or triae more;
short, wiry black hair, compact head
and medium forehead, sharp gray
eyes, a composed and firm counteuance
with somewhat Ailesian features,
and browpish complexion, shaded
with closely cropped whiskeFs,
