SWISS GUIDEs.-A genuine Swiss
guide must be born to his calling. He
is guide from his earliest youth, and
can scarcely recount the number of
times he has been on many of the most
dangerous peaks. His home is perhaps
a lonely village. where the snow may
fall in midsummer, and where poverty
stood godfather by his cradle. During
the warmer season his playground was
the little spot of turf that surrounded
his native cabin, and in the forest be-
hind it there were continual dangers
threatening his boy life-the wild rush
of the mountain torrent, or the sudden
fall of rocks or earth threatening to
crush or overwhelm him. But it is war
and not peace that makes heroes, and
so all these dangers Of his youth in
sensibly reared him to be a genuine
son Of the Alps, and shaped his strength
for the dangers to be encountered
among them. His brother, perhaps,
may have been more successful, for it
is the ambition of the poor Swiss family
to have one member that may have
lived awhile in some ueighboring town
and learned the secret OF the confec-
TONER art, for the Swiss arc skillful in
the preparation Of sweets and pastry,
and can make delicate cup Of coffee
or chocolate. But the mountain boy
never tastes these delicacies; but grows
strong among the peaks. nourished
only by the coarest fare. His ambition
is to go wherever the chamois can make
its way, and in so doing he forms su-
preme contempt for the greatest dan
gers. Among the precipices he knows
no such ideas as steep or rugged or
inaccessible. He is accustomed to the
grandeur and majesty Of the Alpine
world, at which we gaze with awe and
terror, so that where others tremble
with fear he is perfectly at home.

Jack, l hear you've gone and done it.
Yes know; most fellows will.
Went and tlied it once myself, sir,
Though, You ste, I'm singh It'll.
And you met her-did you tell me-
Down at Newport last July,
And resolved to ask the question
At u soHee2 So dbl.
l suppose you left the ballroom
With its music and its light;
For they say Loves flame i, brightest
In the darkness of the night.
Wen, you walked along together,
Overhead the starlit sky,
And I'll bet-old man, confess it
You were frightened. 50 was !.
SO you strolled along the terrace,
Saw the Summer moonlight pour
Al its radiance on the waters
As they rippled on the shore;
Til at length you sathert d courage,
When you saw that none were i5h-
Did you draw her close and tell her
That you loved her: 50 did /.
Well | need Mt ask you further,
And I'm sure wish you joy;
Think I'll wander down and see you
When you're married-eh, my boy?
When the honeymoon is over
And you're settled down, we'll try
What? The deuce you say. Rejected
You rejected? So was l.

months captivity on Johnson's Island,

Lee, however, not only 'commends
the spirit displayed by the regiment"
in setting the ball in motion, but sug-
gests. officially, how the colored troops
should be organized and assigned to
duty. Gen. G. NJ. Wilcox and Gen.
Harry Heth had approved the docu-
ment before Gen. Lees Endorsement
was made; yet, report says, there would
have been scarcely any opposition from
any source to the plan proposed by
their great and honored chieftain.
