Wounds OF Generals in Action.

A curious article might be written
on the immunity from wounds in action
of some Generals, and the ill-fortune
Of others in becoming the billet for q
bullet. No commander adds Mr.. A.
Forbes in the EngjiFh Illustrated Maya
zjHe), was ever more forward in The
fighting line than Sheridan, yet he never
got scratch. Skobeleff, who many q
time went at it with his own good sword,
and in his white coat and on his
white charger headed every charge with
a recklessness that men called madness,
had as complete an immunity as if he
carried the charmed life that mis- sol
diers ascribed, and was wounded only
in the quiet trenches by chance bullet
fired into the air mile away. Well
ington was but once hit; the bullet
that carried away his boot heel
scarce gave him confusion.
Grant was never struck; no more
was Napoleon. OF Sir Neville Cham
berlain again, one of the most distin-
guished officers of our Indian army,
the saying goes that he never went into
action without receiving wound, and
the gallant old man has been fighting
pretty steadily ever since the first At
CHAN war. Bazaine was s. man to whom
fortune was not stingy in. the matter of
wounds. AT Borny there came to him
the leaden reminder that he was mortal,
though this time it was into nearly as
great sham as itself.

sDirty NeapOlitans.

IL is singular. more than singular,
tha& a people full of piety charged with
2Oye of art and surrounded by every
4hiRg in nature that is lovely and beau
tiful. should be so under the DONNA
tion of the tiend dirt 1t is singular
that shey should not make some faint
efforts to assimilate themselves to the
conditions about them, that they should
not gel. into some sort Of harmonious
relations with their surroundings.
Kat they don't. The Neapolitan is
frIeyocably dirty. In his natural state
ne makes no effort ut cleanliness, but
resigns himself to dirt. pure and sim
pie. His body is as filthy as it can be,
and he has not even the hypocrisy to
attempt 10 deceive a contiding world by
keeping his hands and face clean He
wears dirt as abadge, it is a self evil
,dept- obtrusive truth. When partially
tanned, as in the case of shopman or
sh0pwoman, a waiter at a hotel, or q
musician, any occupation where he or
she must come in contact with other
people who have a prejudice against
filth, he does attempt cleanliness, but
it is a hollow mockery, sham so thin
that it is at once detected. He over
does cleanliness as all men do who at
tempt that for which they have no
taste. His neck is 50 scrupulously
clean down to the line where the collar
+cneircles the throat that you know at
once that from that point downward
Che body is in its normal condition, and
ii your eyes bear testimony to his clean
Illness your nose does not. He carries
with him his own condemnation
sense opposes the other You feel that
his collar has been turned, that the
other end of his turned cuffs are filthy,
and that his stockings are something
awful. And as the pretense of clean
Illness on dirty man or woman is worse
than the undisguised article, worse than
seif-evident dirt, you turn from the bo-
gus article and give your preference to
the natural unwashed
Likewise in the matter of honesty. If
a NeapOlitan had the remotest idea of
business, could he persuade himself to
deal fairly with any one, and do bust
ness as other people do, he would make
mneh more money. Should he ask even
double the value of an article and stick
10 il, he would get it, and he would do
n great deal more business. But as it
IL people buy as little as possible No
ono knows what to offer and everybody
expects to be swndled, no matter how
much of reduction from the asking
price they get. The Neapoltans seem
tn regard falsohood us a luxury and
swindling as an enjoyment.
The dirt and dishonesty of Naples are
greater than Vesuvius, and longer to
be remembered than Sorrento. You
neyoy get either out of your nose and
feelings. Think of Naples and these
tEWn blemishes rise first in the mind.

IN. UNHAPPY LITTLE GIRL.

don't know how it happened but the worlds
There's not bit of real fun in any sort of
play;
My d3lys just as sulky, my dog won't show
NV sister Lii Is crosser than pair of crooked
sticks; ..
When Nursey, went to brush my hair she
Jerked it by the roots;
And now the rain has gone and spoiled my
best new Sunday boots;
The apple that ] took to school was sour as
m sour could be
There's not thing but has spite against
poor little me!
And here's the hardest part of all-the fears
1 told mamma, and thought of course, that
she would sympathize;
Bnt when she heard the story she only smiled
and said:
q 1 think my little girl got out the wrong side
of the bedlP
And then she went and left me there as if I
were to blame
Instead of other people! And it's just per-
feet shame
If girls Only mother, who should comfort
Is going to say cruel words, and turn away
like this!
The wrong side of my bed, indeed! I'd really
What difference that could ever make to any
one but me-.
It's other fOliS I'm talking of SO hateful,and
Who make the good things horrid, and all the
bad things worse,
Like cook to-day at breakfast who lust began
to scold
Because | simply tolu her that the porridge
was all cold
And her mullins were too heavy and no tea
Suppose ! was little late-she might have
kept them hot!
Then Kit and Sue came after school, and each
one played SO rough,
And talked so rudely, that at last we broke up
in huff,
And / declared I'd never play with two such
hateful things;
And they said something Just as mean, ali full
OF pricks and stihgsl
I'd like to know whose fault it was or if twas
wrong to say
That since was the oldest there, I ought to
Now, could mamma think possibly the horrid
things they said
Could have the least connection with how
got out of bed?
1t makes one so unhappy! 1t makes one feel
so blue,
To have your mother and your friends all lay
the blame on you.
When any one with half an eye can see as plain
as day
It's everybody else who acts in such an awful
way!
Perhaps they'll all be sorry when they see me
fade away
For who would ever want to live the life I've
lived to-day?
Perhaps they'll realize too late how wicked and
absurd
1t is to crush person down without one kindly
word
And then, perhaps-that is, Ihope-theyll turn
around and see
How perfectly preposterous their hints have
been to me;
For what does this big world care when all is
done and said,
For how one wretched little girl gets in or out
of bed.
