How a Great General Silent.

A good story is told of the Duke Of
Wellington. The French, with fresh
force double that of the Duke, were
closing in upon his jaded troops one
stormy night in Spain. Wellington
completed his preparations, and then
turning to q scout, asked: "How long
will it be before they can reach us?"
'.Half an hour" was the reply.
"Then I can go to Sleep" he said;
and wrapping his cloak about him, he
dropped where he stood in the muddy
trench, and in an instant was asleep.
He awoke when the bugles of the ene-
my sounded IN his ears.-Weekly Tele-
