EUROPEAN ARMIES.


Broea Zeifung Of Berlin, publishes an
account oi the military forces of the great
Powers of Europe, from which it draws
the conclusion that several Of the Pow
ers which have hitherto been ranked as
OF the first class will in consequence of
their military developement not having
kept pace with that of other great Powers,
be incapable of going to war in futue un.
less they have allies. This is especially
the case with Austria and England, and
also with Italy," The strongest military
Power, says the writer, is Russia. The
Russian army, which hitherto consisted
of 7113 ba;tallions, is now raised to 22S
regiments of infantry with 6S4 battallions.
226 rife battallions, ESQ reserve battallions
under the new army organization, 70 reg
iments OF the Guard and OF cavalry of the
line, so regiments of Don Cossacks with
660 sqsadrons and 70l batteries of eight
guns each. OF this force 96 battallions,
20 squadrons, and l6 batteries belong to
the Caucasian or Asiatic army, SO that
there remains force of 816 battallions
on active service, and $50 reserve battal-
lions for disposal in Europe. Next
comes Germany. This Power, reckoning
only troops which are ready for the field,
has 14S regiments of the Guard and in
fantry Of the line (equal to AS battal-
linns), "a rife battallions, 302 battallions,
of the Landwehr, 100 cavalry regiments
with $50 squadrons, and 382 batteries Tin
cluding 70 reserves) of six guns each. The
French army will, under the new organi-
zation, consist of14S infantry regiments
and 30 rifle battallions, making in all 51a
battallions on active service, and 22a
reserve battallions. To these must be
added 64 cavalry regiments, with 3s4
| squadrons and 800 batteries of six guns
each. Austria has only 80 infantry regi-
ments GAO battallions), 40 rifle battal
1 lions, Al cavalry regiments, and 176 bat
teries of six guns each. Her 160 reserve
and 140 Landwehr battallions are as yc,
raw troops, which it would take sometime
; TO train for active service. The Italian
army is similar in strength to that o'
Austria 1t consists of 80 infantry regi
; ments. 10 OF Bersaglieri, 20 of cavalry, and
! 10 of sytillery-270 battallious in all and

HEALTH APHoRIsMs.
Rise early, and take a good walk or
ride before breakfast. Do not eat break
fast Immediately on rising. The stomach
Is not in condition to receive food.
There is great virtue in fasting early in
the day, and at evening. Let the break
fast and supper be light, reserving strong
food, as meat, &C., for the middle of the
day. A good rule would be: rise at s.
breakfast at q or dinner at ia ligh.
tea at 8. Eat slowly. masticate thorough
ly and drink in sips. Very little fluid
should be taken during meals. Liquids
should be taken an hour after meals
then they assist digestion.

Amid all the hurrying throng of hu-
manity that wear out their fieeting lives
in this world Of ours, how few are found
who ever pause to ask themselves the
simple question. "What is life, its duties
and its cares. What its objects-what its
endsg" Immersed I'm business. wearing
out his lire in perpetual round of drudg-
cry, intoxicated with pleasure, pursuing
the giddy rounds of gaiety and fashions
eager for fame, straining every nerve to
win reputation and name-careless of
himself, treading the broad road uf dissi-
patton and vice, to poverty, disgrace and
ruin-man everywhere seems unmindiul
OF his own existence, and rushes onward
with not a thought of the future. He
sees not the light that comes to him
through the dim hereafter--he knows not,
he cares not what life is
Now and then is one whose prophetic
pen has discovered in the distant future
the outlines os that bright morning land"
and he awakes to ask himself the ques-
tion-such usually have drank deep of the
cup of human affiiction, been purified
from the grossness of earth, and have
learned by dear experience to look with
distrust upon all promised happiness based
only upon earthly foundation-and
they bear with stern f,rtitude and un-
flinching endurance, all the numerous
sorrows, to which the inhabitantS of
earth are ever exposed-such man
knows too that this life is but the gateway
to a better, purer, brighter life across the
river"-he meets all his trials with the
same calm endurance. fer he knows the
dark hours must have an end. He is
thankful for the blessings he receives for
lie knows they last forever.
Life is but a 'pitiful dream," frcm
which he awakes to real life in the
brighter world beyond. Men live with
out thought of aught, save the present
and waste the precious years of life not
knowing what they are living for-not
realizing that this state of existence Is
but the ante chamber to the great audience
hall above Men and women are brought
into the world, educated without much
care, marry for fancy, convenience, or
pleasure, live a few years for self, die and
go they know not whittier. Ii a man
would occaxionaiIy look in upnn himself
III he would not permit himself to be So
absorbed in his business, or his pleasure,
as never to look beyond the present, he
would add much to his happiness. for he
would know then what life really is-hc
would have better and clearer conceptions
of life's duties and ends. Let us then
strive to know ourselves, and to be what
God designed US to be, happy and content,
knowing that all of earth must soon pass
away. .st
