AN INVOLUNTARY DEsERTER -During
ore OF Napoleon's remarkable campaign
detachment OF corps commanded by
Davoust, occupied the Isle of Rugen
which they were to evacuate. They en
barked with such precipitation. that
they forgot one of their sentinels, who
was posted IN retired spot, so deeply
absobed in the perusal of a newspaper
containing an account of one of the En-
peror's splendid victories as to he total

going to and fro for many hours upon
his post, he lost patience, and returned
to the guard room, which he foun6 emp

His lamentations excited the compass.
ION of worthy tradesman, who took aim
to his house, did all in his power to con

An idea, however, suddenly occurred to
him, and revived his courage. He run to

Selling his firelock, returned to the beach,
and posted himself on sentry at the mo-

"Who goes there, yourself?" replied

a LAWYER AND HIS FEE.-In bis re-
mlnlscences of public men, in the Wash
ington Sunday Chronicle, Col. John w.
Forney writes the following: GAS mark
ing the difference between lawyers in the
past and the present, heard an anecdote
of John Sergeant the other day, which
shows how the giants estimated their pro-
fcssional services, and by what sensitive
and scrupulous rules they squared their
actions. A distinguished merchant, still
living, called upon Mr.. Sargeant for his
opinion in an important case, which was
duly prepared and sent by one OF the
students of the great lawyer. The mer-
chant opened the letter, and after ganc-
ing over it, asked the student for the
charge. He said he did not know the
contents of the paper, and could not an
swer. The merchant then signed blank
check and then sent it back to Mr. Sar-
geant by the same hand, with message
that he should fill it up with the amount
of his fee. This very student, now one
of the leading members of the Philadel-
phia bar, graphically describes the eff
fects of the communication He SAYS he
never saw little man (Mr. Sergeant
was of slight stature) so suddenly lower
into giant. "Mr.--entirely misunder-
stood me,sir Go back to him, sir, and say
for me that I am the last person
living to fill up another mans check. If
he will carefully examine the paper [
sent he will find my fee written in one of
the corners With this somewhat con
siderable flea in his ear, the young man
retraced his steps to the merchant, when
the opinion was carefully examined, and
Written in very small letters, in the angle
ofone of the pages, were the figures $50
co."

The Chicago Post says, good story
comes from an Eastern college, where the
students in divinity were compelled at
stated seasons to write prayer for the
critical eye of the professor. This pro-
fessor was OF the crankiest nature posi-.
bic, and the unf1edged Beechers could
never manage to blend, in one harmoni-
Gus supplication, thanksgiving and con.
fession so as to suit his taste. One morn
ing one of the students, being proficient
In stenography, was moved to take down
the Professors own opening prayer Vsr-
6dti9o, and having written 1t out, he
handed it in for criticism. The Profess
Sor came down on his own work like the
wolf on the fold, buffeted it, treated it
shametully, ridiculed It's false rhetoric, in .
Weighed against its poor syntax, severely
censured its general lncongruity, and
wound up by declaring, substantially, that
the author thereof couldn't pray worth o
cent Of course the student informed
him that he had been mangling his own
offspring, and since that day less Satur-
day-Reviewish style of criticism has OBJ
tanned In that particular college.

NO TIME FOR HATE.

BECOME with teud, away with STRIFE,
Our human hearts unmatlng;
Let as be friends again, since lie
Is all too short for hating.
SO dull the day, so dim the way,
So rough the road we're faring,
Ear better Wend, with faithful friend,
Than stalk alone, uncaring.
The barren fig, the withered vine,
Are types of selfish things;
But souls that give, like thine and mine,
Renew their strength by giving.
While cypress waves DER early graves,
On all the way we're going,
Ear better plant whore seed Is soant,
Than crush the fruit that's growing.
Away with scsrn, since die we must,
And rest on one low pillow;
There are ne rivals In the dust,
No foes beneath the willow.

Our weary path discloseS,
Ear better stoop where daiBes droop
Than tramplc over roses

compared to joys above us?

Taking lesson 'front.' is impossible
to tell whom, Hindoo lady, bearing the
innocent name of Steerungammel, has en-
tered the lecture field in Madras, and is
actually discoursing upon practicable
and sensible subject. 1t is nothing less
than female education, which, in con
sideration of the deplorable condition OF
the Hindoo women, is highly commend
able thing in Madame Steerungammel.
The lady is reported to be finely edu-
Gated, learned in the Hindoo, Shastras
and Paranas, and eloquent in an eminent
degree. She is the pioneer lecturer among
the Hindoo ladies. It will surprise many
of our good readers that, notwithstanding
tie lady has made several public appear
ances, she has not favored her hearers
with her opinion of womans rights and
spiritual atfinities, nor has once made any
reference to that all absorbing question Of
Sociology" 1t seems pretty clear that
Madame Steerungammel is very extra

traordinary place. Otherwise these in
teresting matt ers could not be ignored

A RUSSIAN CEREMoNY.-As the Grand
Duke Alexis entered the Russion Min
ister's house in Washington on Tuesday
evening, he was met by Madame Gaia
cazy, who, In her uplifted hands, held a
silver salver,on which was placed round
loaf of bread. In the top of the loaf was
an indenture holding golden salt-cellar
containing salt. The loaf was not the
wheaton bread to which we are accustom-
ed, but the plain, HARD, indigestible bread
which in Russia is served on the table of
the Emperor as we'll as the peasant. This
offering of salt and bread is an old and
essentially Russian custom. Whenever
the Emperor or any Of the Imperial
family honor subject with visit, the
hostess, as token of welcome, performs
the ceremony, and no matter how often
the Prince has been the recipient of the
honor, it is safe to say it was never more
graciously offered or received. He simply
took the uninvitlng afbroke and tasted
that, and returned il to the salver.

CARToUCHE's CONSTANCY..-The genuine
report Of the execution of Cartouche
affords some very dramatic particulars
not generally kn3wu. This brigand was
not emily an immensely powerful man, but
he had an iron will and when undergoing
the fulfillment of his sentence, suffered
the application of the question" in very
severe forms, without for moment
tiinching or wavering in his determine
ton not to betrsy his accomplices, per.
suaded as he was that before the final
issue he certainly should be rescued by
the armed force of his desperate band.
With wonderful constancy and confding
patience did the brigand chief await the
arrival of his followers and even when
his limbs were SO dislocated and mingled
that he was about to be carried of co the
scaffold to which he was no longer able
to walk, he yet held firmly to his convic
ton OF their intrepldity and fidelity.
Alas! however, for this heroic faith, which
might have been better placed, no signs
Of relief appeared and when, arrived
under the shadow of the guillotine, he
saw himself hopelessly forsaken, his heart
was filled with disappointment and rage.
"Stay," said he to the VdLsts do 6oUreGW,
who supported his shattered frame, 81
have revelation to make"
On this, Cartouche was taken back
Heavan knows in what condition-to his
cell, the condemned cell, an awful place
to behold pens and paper were brought,
and the wretched convict made last
supreme effort to write down the names
of his false friends and faint-hearted adj
herents. It was in vain his arm dropped
lifeless by his side, and he was fAin to
content his vengeancs by debating the
fatal declaration. Thirty names he gave,
including those of two OF his mistresses,
which head the list, as it there stands APP
pended to his "acte de condemnation"
This evidence, however, though fatal
to his gang, served him but little, and the
sentence which condemned him to die on
the wheel was not even scommuted /; for
we read'in the margin of the record the
fearful words 'r0mpW OsG" tcstitying to
the mode of his death, and another note
states that he lived twelve hours on the
rack

AN ANT TRAP.-Procure large sponge
wash it well and press it dry, which will
leave the cells quite open. Then sprinkle
over it some fine white sugar, and place
it near where the ants are most trouble
some. They will soon collect upon the
sponge and take up their abode in the
cells. It is then only necessary to dip the
sponge in scalding water, which will
wash out the dead ants. Put on moresugar
and set the trap for new haul.

SUNSETS.
By FRANCEs A. WHITTIER.

By FRANCIS A. WHITTIER.
Young eyes looking out on life,
Seeing nothing OF Its strife,
Catch the sweetest snnny CLEANS,
And delight in joyous dreams.
Kager ones the hillside climb,
Singing songs OF silvery rhyme
Stroll In woods where Yiolets hide,
And where clover blooms abide.
For awhile they roam in ease
And the gentle fioW'rsts please;
But full soon they weary grow,
Miss the daylight's tender glow.
Turn they to the sunset sky,
Where the golden cloudlets lie,
And perchanee their lives may know
Glory like the sunsets glow.
Many years have rolled since then,
Years that meier will live again,
lem'ry turns her melloWed gaze
To the joys OF early days.
For ne, like the children gay,
Have grown weary in the way;
Oft have missed the daylight's fall;
Seen the shadows wrapping all
OFT have turned to sunset skies
With calm and pleased surprise,
Finding in the days release,
Gentle showers of quiet peace.
Finding, when the way was long,
Oft amid the hush of song,
Gods great love and tenderness
Ever making burdens less.
Sweet the sunlight's parting smile
On the answering clouds awhile;
SWester than the smile of day
Is the love that fills our way,
Walking with us svermore,
Gliding all our life-clouds DER,
Making Of our daily strife
Richer sunsets in our lie.

NOVEMBER.

Spring, so longed for by the weary n ,,a,'t

)cal by the song birds holy arr,
e passed beyond in ell her beauty oflsh''
soul remembers when from day to DAY,
le iourneyed NorthWard Win mex troop
of hours,
by our homes from Sunland far away,
cured out her tender offering OF flowers
Summer. in still richer garments clad,
nth grains and fruits, unmeasured, at her
feet,
sth song of school boy and Of reaper glad !;
Int she has left naught but remembrance
sweet.
lher vast pageantry Of lake and land,
OF eve and morn, her march, Of hammered
kings,
Has passed beyond the shore whereon l
stand,
And now no music in my spirit rings.
This silence of the world, this falling leaf.
This fading rose, this overhanglng cloud
Come to us with the sackcloth OF old grief,
And with sad hands the yesterday en-
shroud.
Where, in dear June, the birds were wont to
sing,
We went and stood beneath tn entangled
tree,
And once again we saw u uaSuLAR mlukS
And heard what seemed farewell melody.
"The leaves are faded here. The canopy
All spread above me in the summers sun,
Now torn and faded, plainly telleth me
That here my song and happiness are done
But alb know far aouthward lies land,
Across the Mexique gulf, where, day OF
night,
No Hintry storms sweep DER the happy
strand,
And there we songsters plume joyous
flight"
Oh. truthful bird Good lesson for the soul
When cutting frosts attack our esrthL
bowers,
When wintry storms DER all our hsnrtl.stone
roll,
With upward flight we find more colder
hours.
Thsrs ell the songs that sink to silence her
Resume their joyous strain and all tn
joys we've met,
In the long years of Earth, shall reappear
Where no leaf ever fades, nor buns ma.
ever set.
A gulf doth inservsne-but there's plume
Concealed within the spirit that can Goar
Beyond the flight of birds, by home an'
tomb,
And cast US happy on the nowery shore.
