Napoleon's Bravery.


AT the first rumor of the emperor's
return to Champagne, the Austrian army
as if seized with panic at single name,
had retreated by every road from the
walls Of Paris, as far as Troyes and Dion.
The Emperor of Austria, fearful of being
surrounded, even in the midsts of his
troops, took refuge at Dion. Alexander
and the King of Prussia had got beyond
Troyes- These sovereigns, magnifying
the danger by the. memory of 50 many
former defeats, and fearful of a snare in
the very heart of France, which had fall
len with such apparent facility into their
hands, agreed to send to their respee-
tive plenipotentiaries at the Congress of
Chatillon the most pressing instructions
to affect a peace.
Had the emperor had timely notice of
these terrors, he could have signed a
peace on a European basis, at a moment
that his own empire was fading beneath
his feet; but he was ignorant of them.
Alarmed on his own part, at the masses
crOwding down upon him, he retreated
towards Arciasur-Aubs, where he unez-
pectedly came in contact with the army
Of Swartzenburg. A sanguinary battle
ensued, unexpectedly to both generals,
between the French and Austrians. Ma
pOleOn fought at hazard, without any
other plan than the necessity of fighting,
and the resolution to conquer or die. He
renewed in this action the miracles Of
bravery and sang. .troid of Lodi and Riv-
oil; and his youngest soldiers blushed at
the idea of deserting a chief who hazard

spurred his charger towards the instru

explosion, and was blown up. Rolling
in the dust with his mutilated steed, anC
rising without a wound, amidst the plau

Lofty Head Dresses,

THE fashion of the present time in
ladies head. dresses is one of those instan-
ces of cycles in fashion, which shows
that there is a limitation to human inge-
nuity in that direction-and yet, perhaps
I may be wrong there, for believe birds
and birds nests were never worn until
the 18th century.
1t was in 1900 that Addison exercised
his wit against the towering head dresses
that shot up their dirty degrees. They
we're worn for ten years, and then came
down wholly. But they were highest of
all in the 14th century. Monster Para
don, who wrote in the 18th, says they
we're all long and were pointed like stee-
pies, with streamers hanging from the
tips down the back.
Addison wrote a corruscation of wit
and satire upon them in the 98th paper
of the 1st volume of the Spectator The
head dress of that time was called a com.
mode, and by means of wire, bore uE
the hair and fore part of the cap to a
great height. He says the ladies who
we're seven is&2tt-h iHs&2t high in 100, we're but
five in I'LL.
A monk, Thomas Conecte, attacked
the fashion and preached it down. He
was so potent, that ladies threw down
their head dresses in the middle of his
sermon, and made bonfire of them il
sight of the pulpit. This monk was SC
renowned that be often had 10000 hear
ers, men on one side, and women on the
other, the women appearing like fOres
of colors with their heads reaching t
the clouds. The commode became 81
monstrous in the view of the people il
consequence of his thornings, that wher
ever it appeared in public the rabbi
pelted it. But when Thomas Conect
passed away, the head dresses returned

The Disagreeable Religious Man.

4u6 OlSdRT66hDl6 h6llglOuS MdQt
IT must be admitted, with great regret,
that people who make a considerable
profession of religion have succeeded in
making themselves more thoroughly dis
agreeable than almost any other human
beings have made themselves. You will
find people who claim not merely to be
pious and christian people, but to be very
much more pious and christian than 9TH
ers, who are extremely uncharitable, IN
amiable, repulsive, stupid, and intensely
opiniOnated and self-satis6ed.
We know, from very high authority,
that christian ought to be an epistle in
commendatiOn of the blessed faith he
holds. But it is beyond question that
many people who profess to be christians
are like grim gorgon's heads, warning
| people of from having anything to do
with christianity. Why should middle
aged clergyman walk about the streets
with a sullen and malignant scowl always
on his face, which, at the best, would be
a very ugly one? Why should aRotbel
walk with his nose in the air, and ljs eyes
relied up until they seem likely'to roll
out? And why should third be dab

ful thing, that people who eyince a spiri

that of our blessed Rcdecmer, shoult
fancy that they are Christians Of singu

still that many young people should b.

Facts about Meats.

EVERY wife and mother owes it to her
self, her husband, and her children, as
well as to society at large, to prevent
waste in every department of the house
hold, whether provisions are cheap or
dear, whether the husband is rich or
poor; for waste is a crime against huma-
nifty, an insult to the bounteous Hand
which "giveth all things richly to en-
joy" On the other hand a true econo-
my is the Wisest, the best, and most en-
nObling of domestic duties. A hundred
careful experiments were made in Eng
land in reference to roasting and boiling
meats, in order to ascertain their respec-
tive losses.
Roasted chickens lost 16 per cent;
beef-ribs and surloins, 10 per cent;
geese, 10 per cent; boiled mutton legs
10 per cent boiled beef, 10 per cent;
boiled shoulder mutton, % per cent;
turkeys, 20 per cent; mutton legs and
shoulders, 24 per cent; ducks, 27 per
cent.
Boiling beef saves more than four per
cent. over roasting. If leg of mutton
is boiled it loses ten per cent; if roast
ed, % per cent? The fatter the meat is
the greater the loss; it should be med,
erately fat to make it tender; but there
is an Improbable fatness. Eleven lbs
of roast rib pieces loose two pounds, and
the bones one pound, so that of the elev.
en- pounds, only seven come to tho table
Hence if roast ribs cost in New York, in
April, 1864, twenty cents pound at the
butchers stall, it is more than thirty-one
cents pound at the dinner-tablo.
1t is philOsophically true that one Ib
of clear roast beef is more concentrated
than one pound of bold beef, has les
matter il it, and hence may contain NOR,
nOurishment; but the more concentrated
food is, the more unwholesome it is, no
only because it requires a greater diges
tive power to convert it into pure blood

LOVE IN THE BACKwooDs.
By BLEBBs.

LUXE TRUMAN was his mothers son;
He was long, strong, and twenty odd"
Bis hair was like a hopping broom,
His face was like square-as broad
As it was long, and not as fair
As moon and stars and such things are.
Sue sumpter was a "neighbor gal"
And she was Lukey's sweetheart true;
To her be wrote no madrigal,
But courted her "till all was blue"
He often called when shone the moon,
And always Sunday afternoon.
One moonlight night, or day Of rest,
OF which we are not well advised,
Luke in his go-to-meeting best,
And "togs" by Lovers lom devised,
Determined she should "hear a few
He'd "pop the question straight to Sue"
Now Sue was standing by the bars"
When down the lane Luke hove in sight
She jumped and run, with "bless my stars,
I'm looking like very fright"
She " tore up stairs" to change her gown,
And grease her Lair and "sliek it down"
Luke soon came in-sue soon came down
And, "How-de-do," and smack went Luke
But Sue for sPunk' put on a frown;
"Now sue-no more of that, now suke;
For have come to ask to-day,
Won't you! won't you? That is, say"
Wont you what >" says suke. "WOn't you,
That is, I say-wont you-wOn't you"
All Luke, those brags about that "few,"
That you would say so straight to Sue;
But Sukey here his suit did help on
And fairly said" WHY, YES, RECKON"

Female Curiosity.

WHEN had finished my dinner, we would
sit side by side, and I would look at my face
in her eyes-the only mirror which I posses
sed. One day Ananga reproached me with
being artificial What made me wear so many
clothes2 she asked, with inexpressible scorn.
I replied that it was one Of the foolish fash
ions of my country. And was 1t fashion of
my country, she asked, to wear the hair of a
wild beast on my head, and to paint my face
white? On my replying that Ajambi had
thought fit to create me with these deformi-
ties, she uttered a cry of derison, and taking
hold of my hair pulled it severely. When it
did come out, her eyes dilated, and she look
ed at me in stupefaction. Then, wetting her
finger, she rubbed my cheek with it, and fed
in terror to my interpreters They laughed
at her uproariOusly, and she came back in a
shamefaced manner and sat beside me with

my pockets. The sudden disappearance of two
important members filed her with dismay !;
but when I explained the phenomenon, she
went into convulsions of delight Nothing
would now content her but diving her hands
all day long into these wonderful holes" as
she called them; and she used even to hold
soirses, to which her numerous sisters were
invited. I was made to put my hands in my
pockets at least fifty times an evening, and
my hands themselves were passed from one
