Chn*. Uflado's grant story, " NVhito I<lo*
occur* the following description of nn attack
l>y llio Kroncll upon Hie, Uastion St.
Andre, during llio war* of Napoleon. The
picturo of the event Ita.* no superior in the
language, for graphic description and fearful
interest:?
'This won't do, coinrnde; I must go.?
I shall attack from vour nnsition. So T
shall go down tho line, and bring the men
up. Meantime, pick mo my detachment.
Givo mo a good *pivo of veterans. I sliall
got one word with yon befuro wo go out.
God bless yon !"
"God bless you, li:ivnal !"
Tlio moment Itaynal was gone, Camile
beckoned a lieutenant to him, and ordered
half the brigage to form in a strong column
on both sides of Death's Alley.
His eye fell upon I'livato Paid.
" Come here," said lie.
Dnrd came ami saluted.
" Have you anybody at Beaurepaire that
would be sorry if you were killed ?"
"Yes, colonel, Jaciutha, that used to
innke your broth, colonel."
"Take this line t<> Colonel Raynal.?
You will liud him with the 12lh brigade."
He wrote a few lines in pencil, folded
them and Dard went nil' with them, little
dreaming that the colonel of his brigade
was taking the trouble to save his life, because
he came from Keauropaire. Colonel
Dujardin then went into his tent, and clos 1
<id the aperture, and took the good book
tho priest had given liini and prayed humbly,
and forgave all the world.
Then he sat down, his bend in his hands,
and thought of his child, and how hard it
was lie must die and never see him. One j
sad sob at this?one only. j
Then he lighted a candle and scaled up '
his orders of valor, and wrote a line botfI
gmg that they might he sent to liis sister, j
He also sealed up liis purse and left a mem- j
f orandum that the contents should he given i
to disabled soldiers of liis brigade upon '
their being invalided.
- Then lie took out Josephine's letter.
Ij&fr' "Poor coward," lnj said, "let me not be
unkind. See, 1 burn your letter, lest it
should be found, and disturb the peace you
Av'-V:' prize so highly. I, too, shall soon beat!
*%" '* peace' ^m,,k God!" He lighted it and!
V..' W dropped it on the ground : it burned slowly I

If- Ho put his white handkerchief to his
eyes. Josephine had given it him. lie
cried a little, not at dying, but at seeing his
life thrown away.
When he had done crying, he put his
white handkerchief in his bosoru, and the
\ . whole man was transformed beyond language
to express. Powder does not change

out of the tent. The next, he came down
like a, falcon between Lho lines of the
strong.column to Death's Alley.
" Attention," cried the^seargeants, " the
colonel."
There was a dead silence, for the bare
tight of the erect and inspired figure made
the men'i bosom thrill with the certainty
. . , of great deeds to come; the light of battle
as iu his eve. No longer the moody co?al,
but a thunderbolt of war, red hot,
I waiting to bo launched.

"The attack of the bastion was settled !''
cried a captain.

And now in front tho attack was so he
that often tho l'ru .dan gunners were see
to jump down, driven from their posts; an
tho next moment a fierce hurrah from th
rear told that the French had won som
great advantage there. Tho fire slackenin
told a similar talc, and presently dow
came the Prussian Hag-stall*. Th?it migli

Then shot from the earth a cubic acre c
Tire where last the bastion was seen ; it cai

smoke, that looked solid as marble. Tlier
was a heavy, sullen, tremendous cxplosioi
that simllcd out the sound of the cannot
and paralyzc-d the French and Prussia
Stunners' hands, and checked the very beat

pounds of gunpowder were in the awft
explosion. War itself held its breath, an
both armies, like peaceful spectators, gaze
wonder-struck, terror-struck. Great lie
seemed to have burst through the earth'
crust, and to be rushing at heaven. Hug
stones, cannon, corpses, and limbs of sol
diers, were seen driving or falling tbroug
the smoke. Some of these last even cam

The Moustache in the English Pulpit.?
A London periodical states that nearly al
the English clergymen, living between tw
and three hundred vers ago, wore th
moustache. In his list of those who wor
the beard on tho upper lip we find the wel
known names of John Donne, George Ilei

Tliomas Fuller and Robbert South. TIi
J famous John Knox and the celebrated Job
Bunyan wore tho moustache ; also ~\VicliiF<
Cardinal Pope, Archbishop Craniner, Bisl

Laud, and a host of others.
Lord TVs Last.?Lord Palmerston sai
rather a neat thing to Mr. Punch at tl
Reform Club, last Tuesday, about a quart<
before 8 p. m. Mr. Punch was urging hit
to give something belter than a baronetc

have all possible honors," said Mr. Puncl
"here, tho man has won n!n? hni?iao?_
"That's just it," said Palmerston ; M at nil
honors don't count." "Let's liquor," sai
