The gentleman Is mistaken. No further

With the whole country around US full

A Testing Marshal.

The stories told Of the celebrated Rus
sian Marshal Suvoroff display, better than
whole pages Of description. the wonderful
way be contrived TO adapt himself to the
spirits with whom he bad to deal, without
losing one lot Of his authority. What
Napoleon was to the French army
Su7orof was to that Of Russia, now jesting
with soldier, and now rebuking a general
one day sharing a ration OF black bread
beside a bivouac fire, and the next speak
ing as an equal TO princes and potentates.
1t must be owned however, that in his
own peculiar vein of pleasantly the old
marshal more than once met with his
match. One Of his favorite Jokes was to
confuse a man by asking him unexpected
ly, How many stars are there in the sky 3?
On one occasion he put this question to
one Of the sentries on a bitter January
night such as only Russia can produce
The soldier, not a whit disturbed,
answered, coolly, " Wait a little, and I'll
tell YOU, and he deliberately began to
count, one. two, three, etc. In this way
ne went gravely on to a hundred, at which
point Suvoroff, who was already half
frozen, thought it high time to ride off,
not, however, without inquiring the name
of this ready reckoner. The next day the
latter found himself promoted, and the
story (which Suveroff told with great glee
to his staff speedily made its way through
the whole army.
On another occasion one Of his generals
of division sent him a sergeant with dis
patches, at the same time recommending
the bearer to Suvorof's notice The
marshal, as usual, proceeded to test him
by a series of whimsical questions, but the
catechumen was equal to the occasion.
How far is it to the moon p asked
.Suvorof.
1.-Two of your excelency's forced
marches" +" answered the soldier.
"Supposing you were blockaded, and no
provisions left, how would you supply
yoursslfP'
From the enemy"
How mary fish are there in the sea ?''
CAS- many as have not been caught
And so the examination went Oh, till
Suvoroff, finding his new acquaintance
armed at all points, at length asked him
as a final poser, " What is the difference
between your colonel and myself" ?"
1.-The difference is this" replied the
soldier. cooIly my colonel cannot make
me captain, but your excellency has only
to say the word"
Suvorof, struck by his shrewdness, KEEP
his eye upon the man, and in no long time
after actually gave him the specified pro
motion.
The anecdotes of the great marshal's &c
centricities-his habits Of wandering about
the camp in disguise, his Whim of giving
the signal for assault by Growing like q

cock, his astounding endurance Of heat and
cold, his savage disregard of personal COM
fort and neatness-aTe beyond calculation !:
but perhaps the most Characteristic of all
was his appearance in 1899 at the Austrian
court-then one of the most brilliant in
Europe. On being shown to the room pre-
pared for him IA splendid apartment, filled
with costly mirrors and rich furniture) this
modern Diogenes said, simply, " Turn out
all that rubbish and shake me down some
straw" An Austrian grandee who came to
visit him was startled at these preparations,
and still more so at the first sight of the
marshal's baggage, which consisted of two
coarse shirts and tattered cloak tied up
in a bundle
" Is this enough for winter p asked the
astounded visitor
The winters the father Of Russians, "
answered Suvorof, with a grin; be-
sides you don't feel the cold when you are
riding full gallop."
But when you're tired Of riding, what
do you do ?'
/" Walk
And when your tired OF walking ?"
Run"
" And do you never Sleep asked the
astonished questioner
4" Sometimes, when Eve nothing better
to do, replied Suvorof, carelessly, and
when | want to have a very luxurious
nap, take off one Of my spurs"
The thuuderstruck Austrian bowed and
retired, doubtless very much enlightened
in his ideas Of q Russian general.
1t is worth while to chronicle however
out Of place il may appear in a collection
Of jests) one more story Of Suyorof.-that
tells how the grim veteran, already far on
the road to the boodiest Of his campaigns,
rode back for miles through the binding
storm to take one last look at his sleeping
children. kissed and blessed them with
passionate earnestness, and then rushed
away like q whirlwind upon his mission Of
destruction Such a man deserved more
merciful judgment than the singing epi-
taph written upon him by wit OF the na-
tion which wrought his downfall a good
soldier, but q bad general a good servant,
but bad courtier, good russian, bat a
bad European.

PoLrENEss.-One of the English iud-
dels was 30 struck with the poIjteaess and
good feeling manifested in -. Paul !, writ
ings. that he affirmed that if s.. Paul had
said that be himself had ever performed a
miracle, be would believe it, because he
deemed St Paul too much ola gentleman
TO tell an untruth. Whatever we may
think OF this remark. we can not but be
struck with the power which poiiteuess had
over the inidel And as this mt Tel Is not
an exception. it may be well to show some
OF the advantages Of being polite
1t Is scriptural. Ii $. Paul taught po-
liteness by his example, 50 did he In his
writings Tie tells us &, Ia honor we must
prefer one another Here IS the great
secret of politcnoss; namely torgettu.ne~>
of self. In another place he says, :. BE
courteous In other words. be polite.
Ii makes frieuls Nothing So wins up-
on strangers as true p0itene>>. \ little
attention, shown in a stage or iu tde ears
or at a puo.ic table, costs Us very little
But what an effect it has upon the person
to whom the attention Is shown The
pleased look the grateful smile. shows US
we have gained friend
1t increases our usefulness. One rea-
son why some ministers and good Christian
people have no more influence, is on ac
count Of their sour face and torbiddng
countenance. They look as II they said
Keep away from me But if they al
low the vulgar to approach within reach OF
their majestic presence, there Is a p0mp0us
manner or way they have which prevents
the hearts Of others going out to them, and
thus Influence over such people Is lost.
1t gives success. Let any man who
has goods to sell, or office to attain, be kind
and polite no sham-like that put on by
the poiticians-and his goods are sold
and office Is reached ten times sooner than
by the man who looks mad, and cuts YOU
up as be cuts of his calicoes and clothes
Politeness. Of all things earthly, costs
the least, but its power Is tremendous
The influence of a genuinely polite man in
the sphere in which he moves is wonderful

SUNLIGHT.-The Lalc Of Life says /:
Is Sunlight exerts a powerful influence in
energizing the organic nervous system,
Indeed, as a stimulant to all the functions
Of organic life, [ believe it mas no equal
within the range of natural agencies.
Its tendency always Is TO induce the pro
per development of the physical organiza-
ton, promoting the complete change and
perfect assimilation of food TO the wants
Of the organism. Hence the immense
value of it in scrofulous constitutions where
imperfect assimilation Of food and poor
physical development are prominent charac-
teristics The observations of DR.. Edwards
on the influence of light in promoting the
perfect development OF animals led him TO
conclude that in climates where the expo
sure Of the whole surface of the body to
light is practicable, it Is favorable to the
regular formation of the body; and he
therefore has suggested isolation IN the
open air as means calculated to restore
healthy formation to children affected
with scrofula whose deviations of form do
not appear incurab.e. In consumptive
diseases also, it Is exceedingly useful.
