The Charge of the Light Brigade.

On and on rode the Light Brigade, inspir- ing wonder in those they were to attack,
 while Cardigan led them on with brandished sword Each troopers hand was firm on his bridle, each grasp was firm on the sword, as,
 holster to holster, and boot to boot, the dragons swept on, their horses with necks outstretched and names streaming backward like smoke on the wind. The moment they were within range of the Russian guns, the whole park of artillery shook the air like the thunder of heaven, while they, with shot, shell, grape and rockets and infantry with their tempest of conical rife bullets, from front and both Hanks, tore through horses and men, and down went both on every side
 . Down-down-thick and fast, were going men and horses now, and shrieks and prayers, hurrahs and curses, rose to heaven together but filling the gaps, the Hanks closed in, and firmer, wilder, denser, became the death ride down the valley. Here and there the troopers could no longer be re- strained from darting in front of their off cers the genuine English racing spirit
 broke out each man striving to outride the other. Above the varied sounds and the rush of troops one vo1ce rose clearly ''Now, my brave lads. for old England! Conquer or die!'' The speaker was Lord George Paget, who rode at the head of the Fourth Light Dragons. He was peer's son; but every

The Nfght-Fiight of Birds.

ltrom the worcester (nass.) Spy
 One of the phenomena which has been noticed in connection with the cold and stor- my weather of the past four weeks is the scarcity of some species of birds which usu- ally make their appearance in numbers throughout the country from the 1st to the 18th of this month. Although in the milder weather of the last month the early birds came thick and fast, passing On their way to the north, the tide of emigration has appa- rently been staid by the unfavorable weather, which has retarded it as well as the growth of vegetation in some ways. Many of our birds which may be seen here regularly in numbers on certain dates every season have not appeared at all or but few have been seen. It is well known that flights of birds occur quite regularly in autumn before the storms and in spring after them. It is also well known that many birds in their migra, tions travel during the night, resting usually during the day. We were prepared on the rise of the mercury Saturday evening to note a flight of birds during the night and were not disappointed The early hours of the evening passed without much having been heard of the birds, except now and then the chirp of 8 warbler or the noise of 8 small flock passing over. At eleven o'clock, how ever, bird calls began to resound high in the air and on all sides and from 12 to in the morning multitudes of birds were heard passing overhead; some low, some so high that their notes came back like faint echo from the darkness Occasionally flock of war5lers and sparrows would pass, flying so low that the rustling of their wings could be heard. Now and then flock of some small song birds passed high overhead, making their call notes continuous musical ripple through the night. From the regions of the upper air, high above all, came back the tones of the blower and other shore birds, all tend ing toward the north. The vast multitude of birds continued to pass throughout the night. The notes of many such as the bobolink, tanager, Wilson's thrush, white crowned sparrow, etc., were recognized, and during a walk on Sunday morning these birds and many others were found in numbers. Those who wish to observe the smaller land birds now on their way to the north should be on the alert, for in ten days from this time very few birds will be found here except our sum- mer residents. This flight of birds which is probably not local, may extend over the en- tire portion of the northern United States east of the Mississippi, or even further. Countless millions of birds are now spread ing through these States, returning from their wanderings in southern forests to their old homes in the north.

Arthur schopenhauer.

The son of wealthy and we'll educated merchant of Danzig, for whom he claimed Dutch descent, and of a clever and vivacious woman he lost his father at the age of eight cen. Soon after he abandoned the commer- clal career upon which he had entered, and,
 after passing short time at Gotha, betook himself to Weimar, where his mother was siding. She, however, stipulated that he should not live with her ''Your mania for
 dissipation, your lamentations over the folly
 of the world and the misery of mankind
 prevent my sleeping and give me bad dreams. :"
 On attaining the age of twenty he entered at
 the University of Gottingen, where, besides
 the humane letters, he studied chemistry
 medicine, natural history and the religions
 and philosophies of the East After two
 visits to Italy, and an unsuccessful attempt
 to obtain pupils as T1lUGt d0ceaat at Berlin,
 he took up his abode in Frankfort in 1880,
 and there he finally fixed his residence. He
 never left 1t from 1883 until his death His
 life, through all that tract of years, was led
 ln a routine of study, tabled 'hote, flute
 playlng walking and sleeping. He never
 married, and appears to have declined, as far
 as possible, all the ordinary duties of life
 His chief amusements were the theatre and
 music, and the contemplation of the works of plastic and pictorial art The picture which Miss Zimmern, professed admirer o1 him, gives of his manners, is not winning She attributes to him ''boiss&rous arrogance'
 and ''vanity in the worst sense of the word. } l Neglect exasperated him, he was easily an gered, suspicious and irritable" "The heavy artillery of abusive utterance characterized his speech" Loss of fortune was of all evils
 most dreaded by him. ''The slightest noise | at night made him start and seize the pistols | that always lay ready loaded. He would | never trust himself under the razor of bar l Der, and he fled from the mere mention of al ] infectious disease" He professed great re 1 spect for the memory of his deceased father 1 but to his living mother he exhibited "s shocking want of filiaI piety." In politics he was strenuous advocate of absolutism l Patriotism he judged "the most foolish ot Voltaire, he held the people to be "a collec tion of bears and swine, and he regarded al pleadiDgs for their liberty, freedom and hap piness as hollow twaddle -iSaturdaY Revieao

man who rode there, even to the youngest trumpeter, was knight as true as any that ever rode at Greasy or Flodden Field. In this headlong rush the Seventeenth Lancers were subjected to much of the ''rending perturbance' created among cavalry by the sinking and wild plunging of every wounded horse, and again by the piteous intrusion of it, rideress, in the midst of the battle, as it sought to wedge itself into it's old troop. At one time there were four horses abreast of Lord George Paget on one side and five on the other, all with saddles empty and all impelled by terror and the habit of ranging in hne. On and on yet they rode. Many familiar face had vanished now, and men who were in the Hanks found themselves in the centre, and familiar pulpit reflections concerning mans frail tenure of life came to have all the air of fresh truth when pressed upon the attention by the ping of the bullet, the sigh ing and humming, and at last the 'whang of the round-shot, by the harsh whirr of the jagged iron fragments thrown abroad from bursting shell, by the sound most abhorred of all those heard in battle-the sound that | issues from the moist plunge of the round shot when it buries itself with a 'slosh' in | the trunk of man or horse." On and on yet, like whirlwind, swept our gallant | Light Brigade-the flower of the three king
 doms, all well trained and nobly mounted,

 whose musketry rained down a ceaseless
 shower of lead. The gunners swept away.
 and next the Russian cavalry were attacked,
 and literal forest of Cossack lances and
 cuirassier swords was hewn through and

HECK KER9S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75, 5,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recOm- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuit) than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by pr. Love were furnished by the government conn missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder 5 submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained
