now suuE DESCRIBED IT.

He was a bald-headed bachelor, whose
heart for the first time had been moved
by the tender passion.
"Then you confess" he said, in a
trembling voice, to the object of his
regards, "that you like me little-that
you admire certain qualities of my
headY
eyes" shyly responded the young
lady.
''And may I ask he continued, in a
voice of emotion, what those qualities
areP
81 can hardly explain, said the young
lady, bashfully "but thing it is be-
cause your head is so mellitluent-I
can't explain it more clearly"
"And you can never know how I ap-
preciate your high opinion" exclaimed
the happy bachelor, as he pressed her
hand.
He didn't know just what "mellifu-
ent meant, but he was sure it was the
synonym for something grand and en-
nobling, and when he babe her good
night he rushed eagerly home, excitedly
took down the dictionary and feverishly
turned to the endeared word. His
blood changed to ice rs he read:
"Smooth, soft, mellow"

A cmlEAcrERIsrrc IxcIDESr.

While the American army lay before
the City Of Mexico, Gen. Shields per-
formed one characteristic deed, recital
Of which reads like a chapter from a
medimvel romance. An English boy
arrested as a spy obtained a private
audience Of the General and told him
that Mexican desperate had sought
his sisters hand. and being refused had
threatened vengeance and obtained
from Santa Anna the control Of that
part Of the city in which the boys faith
er, mother and two sisters lived, and
hired gang Of villains who were to
plunder the house, keep the booty and
deliver the girls to this Mexican. Prop
erly disguised the boy had entered the
American ranks to beseech assistance Of
General Shields, whose fame was known
in the enemy's ranks. There was little
time for debate, and as il was certain
that General Scott would refuse to
sanction any plan for attempting a res
cue, Shields got together 400 volunteers
and dashed at the wall. The Ameri-
cans went over them with fierce rush
bayoneted the few sentries, took the
English girls and their parents and
started back for the American lines. A
Mexican infantry regiment which ha6
been turned out to stop them, were
scattered by resolute charge, and the
girls were brought in safety to Shields
headquarters. The most indescribabl,
confusion reigned in both armies; the
Mexicans were all under arms, appre
hending a general assault, and th,
American commanders turned out thei
men, anticipating a sortie. Scott wa
furious, as from strictly military poin
of view he might well be, but the sigh
of the rescued captives and the ster,
which they told him appeased him, AM
General Shields was not even court
/ martialed.

GENERAL SHIELDS AT cEEEo conDo.

Early in the morning
Shields brigade had orders to advance
across rugged, broken ground, attack
the Mexican reserve under Santa Anna
and seize the Jalapa road in order to
cut of bis retreat to the capital. The
attack was SO sudden and unexpected
that Santa Anna had hardly time to es-
cape into the woods, leaving his car
riage, baggage, money and plate in the
hands of the volunteers, and the whole
medical staff of the Mexican army was
surrounded and captured. A few min
utes later Shields was struck down
while leading his troops, big copper
grapeshot passing through his lungs.
His soldiers halted to attend TO their
idolized commander, but he said to
them, sMen, am of no further use to
my country; you are. Lay me down
and let me die. might as well die
here as be taken of TO die. You are
all strong, able bodied men-able to do
your country some service. For Gods
sake lay me down and go to your dutyEs
But he was not fated to die then. One
of the captured Mexican surgeons drew
silk handkerchief through the wound
the silk went In at the breast and
came out at the back-and cleansed it
of clotted gore, and thanks to a splen-
did constitution and careful nursing
Shields recovered He was boevetetl

Twiggs and Scott eulogized him in their
reports, the latter as " commander OF

Between the ages of 10 and 60 man
who hasproperly regulated himself may
be considered in the prime of life. His
matured strength of constitution rem

tack Of disease, and experience has
given soundness to his judgment. His
mind is resolute, firm and equal. All
his functions are in tie brightest order.
He assumes mastery over his business /;
builds competence on the foundation
he has laid in early manhood, and pass

many qualifications. Having gone a
year or two over 60 he arrives at a
stand-still. But athwart this is the
viaduct called the turn of life, which,
if crossed in safety, leads to the valley
of "old age" round which the river
winds, and then beyond, without boat
or causeway, to effect his passage. The
bridge Is, however, constructed of fra
gle material, and it depends on how it

EoruscnuEDs AND rHE RANK OF Exc
LAND.

Nathan Rothschild, father of the last
dead banker, early in his English ca
reer measured weapons with the bank
of England itself, which had declined
to accommodate the Rothschilds In
trifiing matter. The Baron amused the
clerks by going down solemnly to the
bank with roll of notes, for each one
of which he demanded gold, carefully
examining each coin as he received it.
The young men laughed heartily at the
millionaire's freak, and all the more
heartily when he returned the next day
with q pocket-book full of notes and re
sumed his occupation of demanding
gold for each. Presently it was found
that a Rothschild clerk was at each
desk, monopolizing the teller's attention
TO the exclusion of all other customers
wanting gold, and that as fast as the
teller could shovelout the gold the clerk
presented more notes for redemption
The laughing ceased, and with much
Difference Baron Rothschild was asked
how many bank notes he had for which
he wanted gold. The amount he named
was greatly in excess of the specie In
the banks vaults. Had a run been
precipitated the bank must infallibly
have suspended. So the directors IN
stantly made their peace and thereafter
it was never said in Threadneedle street
that the bank didn't know Roths-
childs !"
