If General MacMahon had poi chanced to discover io the barrack / one vire leading from a well-concealed x voltaic pile to a large quantity of pow? der ceder it, an another connecting it with tb* powder-cuagazrea, the whole victorious force might have been blown into the air after having gained posses? sion of the fort. The wires were cat, bat the'po ?der-mags z i ne could not be found. Some of the French soldiers vere setting fire to the empty gabions, which had been thrust into the small windows of the bomb proof cellars under the tower in order to barricade it 3 One of the gabions appeared to be mov? ing. A-Frecch officer called oat that, if any one-was there who could speak French, he might come wit boat fear. The gabion was pushed through the -windor, and a very young Russian of? ficer crept out. He was assured that he and any others surrendering as pris? oners of war would he well treated. After saying a few words in Russian at the window, he was joined by four of? ficer? and two hundred common soldiers They begged, through him, to be taken j away at once. This request suggested some knowledge of an impending ex? plosion. The young officer was there? fore ordered to point out the position of rhe powder-magazine. The Jad made no answer. A French subaltern said, in a load voice, to thc commanding of . ticer that the Kassian 003ht to be shot if he refused to obey the order given to save so many lives. The yoatb kept silence, with a haughty glance of indig? nation at the subaltern, apparently for supposing thai he would betray a secret .under a, threat. The French chief formed a platoon to shoot him, and he turned to face his executioners. An old Kassian major, who seemed to un? derstand French, ran forward, took the com mandant by the baud, drew him to a heap of earth, and pointed downward. The earth was quickly shovelled away, and barrels containing eighty-eight thousand pounds of gonpowder were discovered. A stroog French guard WS3 ptaeed over them The young Kassian officer was told to go with the other prisoners He gave a military sa? lute, tod kissed the old Russian major's hand?

There is scarcely a man so hardened bat that one tender spot may be found in his heart. If that is gently touched, the man responds. At a religious mes-iing in Scotland, the following anecdote was told because it illustrated a drunkard's sensitiveness to the influence of a dead child whom he had tenderly loved. A fisherman, who habitually drank to excess, used to sail from a sm;1 il cove OD the Scotch coast to the fbhing groonds, several miles out in the oceau. There was no light-house, to guide him. not even a beacon-light, and the chau nel was intricate. When the fisherman had taken a drop too much and night had fallen, it was dangerous work en? tering that cove. His little son used to watch for his father's corning, and as soon as he saw "him he wooM run down to the point, and cry out, t '.Steer straight for me, father, and yon, ll get safe home !' The boy died, and one evening the father was sitting st the louely fireside. Hts conscience troubled him, for he had been thinking over the sins of his life. As the night settled down, he thought he heard the voice of his boy ring out through the darkness, 'Steer straight for me, father, and you'll get safe home.* Sprigging to his feet, he called out, .You're right this time, my soo !' From that moment be was a changed TOD, coe whose sobriety and pious life attested the genuineness of his convic? tion of truth and bis purpose. .Judge not.' Despair not of any soul, whatever nicy be its lapses. You know not its secrets, its struggles, its prayers. A right wora oay rouse its latent energies, and a simple incident may give force to the wiog of right res? olutions when discipline, dangers, and the most solemn events have failed. Selected.

The California Miner caught sight of the mountain heartVoase just whi re his up? lifted pick was going to fall, aud ere it fell he was across the coutir.ent and in his own pasture, where a barefoot boy he drove the cows a thousand times. Hollyhocks and lilacs, who thinks of them and does not see n quiet dooryard iu the sunshiue? The sick soldiers in army hospitals, longing for certain faces, tone-, and touches, greeted the flowers as the best substitutes. 'Now I've got something for you !' said a woman nurse, holding the bunch be? hind her, to a very sick New England soldier, 'something for yon just, like what grows in your front dooryard at home.

There are some kiuds of animals that hide away iu the winter, that are not wh'dly asleep all the time. The blood moves a little and once iu a while they take a breath, if the weather is at all mild, they wake ap enough to eat. Now bu*t it curious that they know all this beforehand ? Sucb animals al? ways lay up something to eat, just by their side, when they go iufo their win? ter sleeping places. But those that do not wake up never lay up any food, for it would not he used if they did. Thc little field mouse lays up nuts and grain, it eats some wheu it is partly awake of a warm day. The bat does not need to do this, for the same warmth that wakes him. wakes all the insects on which he feeds. He catches some, and then eats When he is going to sleep again he hangs him? self up by his hind claws. The woodchuck, a kind of marmot, does nor wake; yet he hys up dried 2~as< near his hole. What is it for. do you think ? On purpose to have v ready the first moment he wakes in th?? #priug. Then he can eat and be strong before he conies out of his hole. How many things are sleeping in the winter? Plants, too, as well as ani? mals. What a busy time they-do have in waking up. aud how little we think about it I-Our Little Ones.

Keudall & Co., Gents :-I thin it my duty to render y OH my thanks for ben efits and profits which I have derived from your invaluable and fur fame of Spavin Cure. My cousin and I had a valuable stallion, w ::h $400 which had a very bad spavin and was pronounced by four eminent veterinary surgeons, beyond any cure, and that the horse was* done forever. As a las? resort I ad? vised my cousin to try a bottle of Kendall'? Spavin (Jure. It had a magical effect, th? third bottle cored it and thc horse is as well as ever.

I tried a great many liniment* which fai?ed to benefit the injured part. At last when disgusted, and ready to give up ?he colt as ruined, I happened to see your advertisement of 'Ken? dall's Blister and Spavin Cure," and thought I would give ii & tria!, ? aral applied the "Blister" to the hock which by this time had become calloused, and to my surprise found it work like a charin. In twenty four hours thc part that was hard became toft aud the tameless began io leave. I then got some of '.Kendall's Spavin Cure'" and applied it ac acrordi?}? lo directions , whb-h has made ft perfect cure, nnd tlie colt is now as sound as any horse .-ilive. ? merely write this letter to you, as I liiink it a duty I owe to you, and also for the good of the public at large.
