the constant draw made by repeated requisi-
tons Of the enemy on the people. The sur
rounding country is entirely ruined.
The Prussians evacuated Orleans yesterday
with great haste, leaving about 500 sick and
wounded. The day before the French gained
a marked success at Coulmers. The Prus-
slams had a strongly entrenched position,
but were dislodged, suffering heavy loss.
Gen. Taun retreated to Arthenay and the
French moved forward to Geminy, where
they will occupy strong positions until the
entire army Of the Loire moves forward.
Gen. Paladiu reports to the government
that the battle which occurred 2 days ago at
Marchenoir, was more important than at first
runorod. The Prussians lost 250 killed and
and over 100 were taken. The French troops
behaved excelently. One regiment of Chas-
seurs kent a large Prussian force checked
until other French troops arrived, when the
Prussians retreated.
Kcratry having organized the army of the
west, is forming a camp in Brittany for an
other army 10000 Strong. Lyons is prepar-
ing for defence, and Tolouse is sending for
ward large numbers of troops fully armed
and equipped. Order prevails in both cities,
and also at Marseiles where the internal
dissensions have disappeared.

Affection.

A0ccttOn.
How much more we might make OF
our family life, if our friendships, of
every secret thought Of love, blossomed
into deed. We are now speaking
merely of personal caresses. These may
or may not be the best language of affec-
ton. Many are endowed with delicacy,
a fastidIousness of physical organization,
which shrink away from too much OF
these, repelled and overpowered. But
there are words and looks, and little
observances, thoughtfuluess, watchful
little attentions, which speak of love,
which make it manifest, and there is
scarcely a family that might not be
richer in heart wealth for more Of them.
IL is a mistake to suppose that relations
must. of course, love each other because
thew are relations. Love must be culti-
waited, and can be increased by judicious
culture. as wild fruits may double their
bearings under the hands of the garden
er; and love can dwindle and die out OF
neglect, IA choice flower seeds planted
in poor soil, dwindle and grow single.
Two causes in our Anglo-Saxon nature,
prevent this easy faculty and flow of eX-
pression which strikes one so pleasantly
in the Italian or French life; the dread
of fiattery, and o constitutional shyness.

Miss X. "Then why in the world
