A Bows Bravery.

Many deeds of reckless daring are
never recorded, but here is one, chron-
icled by no less a man than the great
Duke of Wellington. He was once
asked who, in his opinion, was the
brayest man at Waterloo Il can't tell
you that" he said, "but L can tell you
of one than whom / am sure there was
no drawer. He was only private i'll

day, he would have been an officer.
"A farmhouse, with an orchard sur
rounded by a thick hedge, formed a
most important point in the British DO
sition, and was ordered to be held
against the enemy, at any hazard or
sacrifice.
"The hottest of the battle ragged
round this point, but the English be-
haved well and beat back the French,
though they attacked the place again
and again with great fury. AT last the
powder and ball were found to be run
ming short. At the same time the tim
Der in the hedges took fire, and the
orchard was soon surrounded by ring
of flame.
"a messenger had, however, been
sent to the rear for more powder and
ball, and in short time two loaded
wagons came galloping down to the
farm house, the gallant defenders OF
which were keeping up o thin and
seanty fire through the flames which
surrounded their post.
@The driver of the first wagon, with
the reckless daring of an English boy,
spurred his struggling and terrified
horses through the burning heap; but
tie flames rose fercely round, and
caught the powder, which exploded, in
an instant, sending wagon. horses, and
rider in fragments into the air.
"for one instant the driver of the
second wagon paused, appalled, by his
comrades fate; the next, observing that
the flames, beaten back for the moment
by the explosion, afforded him one des-
perate chance, he sent his horses at the
smoldering breach, and amid the deaf
ening cheers of the garrison, landed
his terrible cargo safely within. Behind

The showers of 1888 are perhaps
the most noted and extraordinary on
record in this country, and were OBJ
served along the entire eastern coast
of North America, from Florida to
Halifax. From in the evening until
sunrise they were plainly visible.
Many persons tried to count them, but
gave it up in despair. In some parts
of the country the people were terror
stricken on beholding the unusual
sight, and many thought the world
was coming to an end.
