lAFU'S  -QUESTION.
Drifting away
Like mote on theBtream,
Xo day's disappointment
Yesterday'B dream;
Ever resolving—
Never to mend ;
Such is our progress :
Where is the end ?
Whirling away
Like leaf iu the wind,
Points of attachment
Left daily behind,
Fixed to no principle,
Fast to no (rieod ;
Such our fidelity !
Where is the end '.'
Floating away
Like cloud on the hill,
Pendulous, treinulou.3,
Migriitiiie- sl.il' ;
Where to repose ourselves?
Whither to tend!
Such our consistency :
Where is tbe end?
Crystal the pavement,
Seen from the stream;
Firm the reality
Under the dream :
We may not feel it,
Still we may mend :
How we have conquered
Not kuowu till the end.
Bright leaves may scatter,
j       SportB of the wind,
But stands to the Winter
Tbe great tree behind :
Frosts shall not  wither it,
Storms cannot bend ;
Roots firmly clasping
Tbe rock, at the end.
Calm is the firmament,
Over tbe cloud ;
Clear shine the stars, throng
The rifts of the shroud ;
There our repose shall be,
Thitber we tend :
Spite ol our waverings

al Gt-mexnl Fremont
Butyouhavo yet to learn my boy, what was
the great reason for sending Fremont to tbe
everlasting hills. Ou Tuesday, I asked a knowing veteran at Willard's what it really was. He
looked at me a moment in immovable silence ;
then he softly placed bis spoon gyiniiasyum ou a
table, looked cautiously in all directions, crept
tip to my ear on tiptoe, and says he:
" Ferriages!"
"Son of a bottle !" says I, "your information is
about as intelligible as the ordinary remarks of
Ralph Waldo Emerson."
The knowing veterau suffered his nose to take
a steam bath for a moment, aud then says be ;
"Kerridges? Kerridges with six horses and
the American ilag flying out of the back window
Fremont's  great   mistake   in the   west was ker I season
Humors of tlio War— X Practical Jo I*e.
The soldiers in Kentucky arc famous for practical jokes, and are constantly on tbe lookout for
subjects. Oue was recently procured in the person of a new teamster, who had the charge of six
large, shagicy mules. Jehu was also proprietor of
two bottles of old Bourbon—a contraband in camp
—whieh a wag discovered, and resolved, to possess. Being aware that tlio dri<*er'a presence was
an impediment to tho theft, be hit upon tbe following plan to get rid of him.
Approaching the driver who waa busy currying
hia mules, ho accosted him with, "I Bay, old fellow, what are you doing there now?"
" Can't you see!" said Jehu gruffly.
Certainly," said tbe wag, "but that is not
r busiuese. It is after tattoo, and there is a
fellow hired here by the Geueral, who curries al
the mu'ea and horses brought in after tattoo."
The mule   driver   bit at ouce,   and wanted to
know where the "hair   dresser" kept himself.—
Whereupon he was directed to Gen. Nelson's tenti
with   the   assurance that   there    was where
hung   out.:'
" You cau't mistake the man." said the
wag—"he is a large fellow, and puts on a thundering sight of aits for a mau in his low business.
He will probably refuse to do it. and tell you to
go lo the devil, but don't you mind that; hi
been drinking to day.    Make him come out, **■
Jehu posted off, entered the tent where our
Nai.iol.-on of the 4th Division sat in deep reverie
probably considering the most expeditious method
of expelling the rebel General Buckner troi
native State, slapped him on tbe back with force
sufficient to annihilate a man of ordinary size.
Springing to his feet tho General accosted his
uuiuvited guest with: "Well, sir, who aro you,
uud what the devil do you want?"
"Old boss, I've got a job for you now, six
mules to be curried, and ri*- bt off, too," aud the
captain ot mules, nothing dauuted at the flashing
eyes ofthe General.
" Do you know whom you arc addressing, Bir?:
"Yes," said Jehu, elevating his voice to a
pitch which rendered tho words audible a squ
off, "yon are the fellow hired by Uncle Sam to
clcau mules, and I won't have nuy foolishness-
Clean them mules, and I'll give you a drink oi
busthead."
You infernal villian," exclaimed the General,
'   perfectly   furious, "I am   Gen. Nelson, the
commander of this Division."
Jehu placed the thumb of bis right hand against
e   nose, and extending his lingers, moved them
slowly, in a manner supposed by some to be indicative of great wisdom.   The General's sword
leaped from its scabbard, and Jehu  from the tent
just in   time to save  bis head.    Our boys drank
the big mule   driver's   health in   Bourbon.   The
story   boou got   out, and is now   the joke of   the

A woman hates a question, but loves to ask one.
The female miud  is too poetical to be tamely
methodical.   Who would marry  a woman   who
puuetuates her love letters.
Cupid is blind to everything—save pin-mor.ey.
In society, compliments are  loans,  which the
lenders expect to be paid with heavy interest,
Praise woman's taste, aud you may attack her
sense with impunity.
Your candid friend has never anything pleasant
to say to you. Ho reminds you of hia pet virtue
by wounding you with it.
If you want to know a woman's true character,
linger after the guests are goue, and listen to what
she has to say about them.
A woman wins an old man by listening to him ;
and a young man by talking to him.
Enjoy to-day, for to-morrow the first grey hair
may come.
Hymen is only Cupid in curl papers.
Women confess little faults, that their candor
may cover greater ones.
There are no reasons which explain love, but a
thousand which explain marriage. Age is venerable iu man —and would be in woman—if she ever
became old,
When a woman vows she never flirts—Bhe is
flirting.—Punch

said a reverend gentleman to a lady arrayed in the
depth of fashion.
"Yes, she replied,' "and a good man, too, I
think."
I don't know what to say about his goodness,"
added the minister, " for my Bible teaches me that
a husband should clothe his wife, but he lets you
go half naked."
George I. on a journey to Hanover, stopped at
a village in Holland, and while the horses were

which were brought him, and charged two hundred florins.
" How is this?', said his Majesty, " eggs must be
very scarce iu this place."
''Fmdon me," f-aid the host, "eggs are plenty
enough, but kings are Bcarce."
The king smiled, and ordered the money to bo
paid.

Alone in the dark and silent night.
With a heavy  thought of a Vanished year,
When evil   deeds come back to sight,
And good deeds rise with a welcome cheer;
Alone with  the spectres of the past,
That  come with the old year's dying chime,
Thrre glooms one shadow datk and fust,
The shadow of Wasted Time.
The chances of happiness castaway,
The opportunities never sought.
The  good resolves thateveiy dav,

In the rugged path we have striven to climb

Prussia, at tho commencement of an action, she
had the misfortune to be wounded by a mu-dcet
ball iu the right hip; instead, however, of returning to the camp, she continued to assault Un- BOfl

pain she was enduring from the wound ; but she
was again struck by n bullet under the right arm.
IVofwithsUuding this, she refused to quit the field,
bound up her wounds with her handkerchief to
stop the bleeding, hung her arm in a sl'ng, pus-
sed the rein of her bridle over her neck, and changing her sabre froin her right to left hand rushed
like a mad hyena into the enemy's ranks. Alter

when he arrived at the 6th hussars, so remarkable
for its splendid appearance. His eagle eye soon
perceiving a volunteer who was caracoling out of
his rank, he immediately exclaimed :■
" Why Is this hussar not iu his place, sir?"asked
he of the colonel, " bow is it that in a regiment

years iu this country, everywhere honored and

and in consequence, the name of this woman, so
worthy of the order of the Legion of Honor,
was not retained in Ihe list of members. She eventually obtained from Charles X.. a penuion of 280

''Very well," eaid the Kmperor, " be it so, let

'l-mmti—— nm, orfwftra art a gallop, and   the
following dialogue ensued :
" Your name ?"
" My Emperor, my name is Duconda Laborde,
but tlie regiment calls me Breton  Double."
" For what reason did you presume to quit the
ranks?"
" I never entered into them, merely following
the regiment as a volunteer, and not wishing to
form part uutil your tnnjesty coustdured me worthy
of (hat honor."
'■ How long have you been attached to the regiment V
" Eight years."
" What induced yon to join the service so long V>
'• Love of my country,  and   my  husband*,   from
whom I was desirous never to be separated."
" What, .you a woman V
" Y'es, sire, aud you have never had iu the reg-
iraent au arm more devoted than mine."
" What is the name of your husband ?'*
" Poneet."
" From what country do yon come ?''
" Angouleme."
n Your age ?"
•'Thirty.■'
"Have you children?"
" Yes, sire, one son ?"
" How is he employed?"
" As a trumpeter iu the llth dragoons."
" Very well; do you anderstaad the e'voFutioos
of the tbe regimeut ?''
"Y'ea, sire, the sworrl ex;Tcis*,'''
" I am very anxious to witnecu  this," sard the
Emperor, who listened to lireton Double with   increased interest.    " Colonel  let a  troop  advance,
and let the brave Breton join Ac ranks."
" The colonel directed tho movements, which
were executed by Breton Double with so much ardor and precisiou, that the Emperor was delighted and surprised at witnessing a woman manage
her horse with tbe vigor and courage of an old
campaigner.
-"lam satisfied with your zeal an3 ability,"
said the Emperor, " and appoint you regimental
quarter-master; take this toward your dress," at
the same time placing a Napoleon in her hand
and ordering twenty-five additional to be given
her.
"Go and rejoin your squadron ; we shall meet
again.''
'' Breton Double expressed her grateful thanks
to the L'mperor. aod lost no time in taking tbe position to which, by her new rank she became entitled, amidst the congratuUvtiona and cheers of the
numerous witnesses of the scene. Tho 6tb hussars
shortly afterwards joined the corps of the army in
Prussia, and the battle of Eylau afforded Breton
Double an opportunity of distinguishing herself-
The action had continued more than two- hours,
when Breton Double, who was sent to th-e right
wing with an order, rejoined her corps, perceiving that tbe troops were surrounded- by a large
body of Prussians, courageously dashed through
the enemy, Bword in hand, killed the commander,
relieved her countrymen, and returned to the
camp proudly displaying tbe sash o f the vanquished officer.
Tbe Emperor having been informed of this gallant feat, directed a golden medal to be presented
to her, wbich was received by our heroine with
grateful and religions respect.   Subsequently, in
me.cf tbat the Miuister Of Wat was
iu expectation of being enabled to satisfy all the
demands she had on ber country for her long aud
faithful services, by re-admitting her to (he Cross of
wounTle^'Viuarter-master, and also the widow of a
captain.
The following sentiment, which she so often uttered under her sad trials, will manifest the character of this sxt*aordinary and noble minded woman : "Although my fortune is humble, my heart
is elevated." Tbe son of Breton Double obtained
high rank in the dragoons, and accompanied the
Emperor to FAb&.—fncidents ofthe French Revolution.

young man named Richmond, while hunting in
the woods near Ottawa, Canadu, few days since, l0;t
his way. He retired to rest, at night under a tree
and was suddenly awakened by the presence of a
e rattlesnake. In the act of striking the reptile
with the butt of his gun, it missed the snake, struck
against a tree and was discharged, but fortunately
causing Richmond no injury. Again using the gun,
tho snake was, as Richmond supposed, killed, The
young man then endeavored to 'get out of the
wilderness," aud after proceeding aliout a mile
heard a rustling behind him, and turning discovered that he was pursued by the •'identical" snake
which be supposed he bad killed a few hours before. [!] This time he discharged his gun at the
reptile uud blew liU head entirely oft'. Journeying
onwards, his endeavors to extricate himself fioin
the woods were unavailing and when nlghl fell be
again "slept out." At an early hour in tba morning he was awakened by tho growl of a bear.—
Arousing himself he fired and killed the monster al
the first fire. The firing of his gun led to bis discovery by some trappers who kindly cared for lllm
and after providing refreshments directed liim
his journey.— Ottawa {Canada)  Gazette

that the governm-ent is^ustified in this step, but
it is evident the further we go South aud the longer the war ta waged the greater use there will be for
horsemen in the army. In tho open plains ot the
