Without waiting to count his foes,
he seized the tridle in his teeth,
and with his pistol in one hand, a
drawn sword in the other, burst in
headlong fury upon them, aud
scattered them as if hurricane
had swept by.
Murat was a thunderbolt on that
day, and tie deeds that were
wrought by him will furnish themes
for the poet and painter.

Oar Daily Reckoning.

IL we sit down 40 set of sun,
And count the things We have done,
And, counting, find
One self enying net, one word
That eased the heart OF him that heard
One glance most kind,
That fell like sunshine where il went,
Then We may count the day well spent.
But, il through all the lifelong day
We've eascd no heart by yea or nay;
If through il all
We've done no thing that we can trace,
That brought the sunshine 10 face;
No act, most small,
That helped some soul, and nothing cost,
Then count that day AS worse than lost.
