An Ingenious Egg Punch.

OF the nutritious qualities of the fresh

The Story Of the Drums.

An animated controversy has of late
been carried ON in the French military
papers respecting the relative value of the
drum and bugle, some writer's maintaining
that the former, others that the latter,
instrument should be abolished. Among
other arguments against the drum, it is
urged that signals beaten upon it are I'M
derstood by very few, and, In support of
this assertion, an anecdote of the cam
paign of 1859 is related by writer In
the AUenir MiIitdire. On the evening
of the Sth of June, 1859, the I'd French
Corps had arrived in the neiChborhood
of the town of Marignan, too late to cut
off, as it had been intended it should.
the retreat of the Austrians along the
Lodi read. Finding that it had come up
too late TO accomplish its mission, its
commander had issued orders for the
troops to bivouac for the night The
first company of the I'D Regiment was
extended in slOrmishing order in front of
the rest of the regiment, and its COM
mander ordered his drummer to beat the
ASSEMBLY" The I'd Regiment of Zou-
aTes happened to be on the right front,
and about 200 yards only distant from
the skirmishers of the I'D; and the men
of the former, hearing the taps on the
drum, nlistook them for the reports of
muskets, and at once opened fire in the
of the sound. The night had
become very dark, and the men of the
I'D Regiment, in turn believing that they
were being fired upon by the enemy,
also opened fire. Hearing the noise of
the firing, Marshal MacMahon rode
hastily up, and found the two regiments
angagedna hot musketry combat, which
was only stopped by ordering the buglers |
TO sound the march of the I'd Corps, and |
cease firing"

Imagination.

It is impossible for human beings to be
cheerful at all times. Indeed, we are
SO constituted that it seems as though we
must have something to be wretched
about. If our actual circumstances do
not admit of this contamination, then our
life is a world of imaginary evils, and we
weep as though we had real sorrow. In
stead Of taking a bright and cheering
view we seem never to be quite happy
unless we have an opportunity to put an
off" or "but" In somewhere. We al
ways keep an eye out for a storm cloud,
and make ourselves unhappy over the
possibility of its coming, whether it ever
actually comes or not We once heard Of
an invalid who insisted to his doctor that
he was certainly growing weaker every
day, and that the end was not far Oft
"Why, Doctor" he said one day, IN
uuerulous tones, ga month ago I could
walk round the park yonde-, and to-day

only thought a minute, he would have
discovered that to walk half way round
and back again was Just as far as to walk
all the way round The best way to live
is to live as well as you can, and the only
way to take care of the future is to let il
