Since Zephyr alone thy shallop steers.

The hunger of heart and soul ba fed;
Well, if the sUo still gild thy bowers.
When some of the gold, of thy wing ia abed.

Of tho worshippidg insects that idly praise,. ~
Of the wanton fi oct s that eirelling sing.

With the conscious use.of a thousand powers,
That work and struggle 'gainst human woes.

A writer in Blackwood some years ago
-remarked, let your proceeding toward an
enemy in battle be as-sharp bot as polish?
ed as your sword. In battle it ia the duty
of each party to kill, capture and disable ?a
many of the. enemy as possible. When a
man ia disabled the object is gained as well
aa if he were killed, and no liberal minded
soldier would wish te do more. At the
battle of -Foutenww it is related the ?ritjsh
Royal Guards politely ?aired ?ut Fire, jfres
tisurs hts Gardes Francaise*. The otbei
corps replied, the French Guard - never fire
first; upon which their- opponents, having
given them the option, put an and to the
chivalrous contest by opening their fire and
annihilating their adversaries.. During
the protracted campaigns i? the Peninsular,
the exasperated citizens of Oporto threaten
ed an attack on the garrison of Almeida
which, by the convention of. Cintra, was tc
ba embarked at Oporto and sent to France
The Captain commanding the British de
tachment declared that in the event of i
rising of the citizens he Would stand by th<
French to the last. The Portuguese thet
permitted the embarkation'to go on. -
" . - At Lisbon, where complaints of Freud
stealing were laid before the English, a con
Bcientious French .General in leaving, ob
serrad io hi* Lost, I think you wiij bear rai
?witness that when I entered your house
had two portmanteaus. This being admit

now bear me witness:, General, that I an
retiring with but one. a
Attn? battle of Palavira, the Frene!
Marshal, Mortier, took the greatest care c
the English sickl and wounded, and sup
plied , some officers with money. II
gave- one officer 'credentials to retur
home through Paris, where he was presen
at the fetes-for the marriage of Napoleon 1
After the close of ?ha battle of Busaco,
French outpost remained nearer tbe Eng
Uah lites than was warranted by relativ
positions. Crawford sent the French a me
Bage to remove it. The officer commanc
ing said be -had to obey superior authorit
and remain .'Until forced sway. A fe
shots from the j?pglish -satisfied the hone
of the Frenchman, and he -mthdrew from
position where ho could easily have been
annihilated. - ? .
Near "?orrunat a French patrol advanced
toa-far. Will I shoot hin? asked the
English sentinel. By no means, repliecWhe
officer, and the dragoon speedily withdrew.
A Frenchman found on the Goranna field
a British officer almost dead. He was well
cered for and finally recovered and proved
to be a Napier.
After the .engagement of Fuentes d'?nor,
the village lay between the armies. Men
from beith sides got scattered over the pi ace,
and to prevent confusion a demarcation was
drawn along a street. At Lisbon the Eng
4ish frequently supplied the French with
cigars,and other luxuries.
In one of these Peninsular engagements
a French dragoon came across an English
cavalier who .bad lost an arm* as 'they ap?
proached each other, the Englishman rats
ed the bloody stump to endeavor. to save
hie head from the coming s blow. The,
Frenchman perceiving his condition instead
' of killing him, dropped his sword to Che
salute and galloped on. Favorite officers
I were always exchanged when a request
?was made to have them heck for others of
equal rank. ' At the first assault oh Sebas?
topol a joong officer was found wounded
far forward on the beach. -A French
grenadier, who had witnessed his gallan?
try, ran up aqd kissed him. 1
Wellington went ont one day with his
escort to reconnoitre the Adour River. In
passing round the Bayonne fortress, a lot of
unarmed soldiers from tba garrison rushed
out ta see him. " The English could fcave
swept them-ail away but would not do it,
seeing they were unable to make any de?
fence. . . - . I
