" b Sir" A Mmtwi T10NEST.A, PA., Tho Liht The cliargo of llio Six Ilundrod tit Bulaklava is thus described in a Etory in the ticoUiih Amcr'unn, entitled "One of the Six Hundred.' " Ilecoilin;' before the glorious rnarpca of our Heavy Brigade, the Ilussian bordtt nnd fjot bad rtlircd into ,i nnr row gorpjo nt the bead of llio long green vall'-y. There lliitly pieces of am iion were iu position, and in the rear of them were formed six Rolid columns of cuvaliy and six of infan try, while other deii.se masses occu pied tho slopes beyond. Notwith standing: this ibrmidublu array, iu an almost unassailable position, a mes sage wn3 received by Lord Lucr.n from Cupt. Lewis Edward Nolan, of the fifteenth Hussars, undoubtedly one of tho. bravest of the bravo, to the edict that tho Light Brigade va3 to carry thoso thirty pieces of cannon. Another account says that bo simply pointed to the guns with his sword, and said, "wts should tako them," and that the motion svas taken fur an or der. -Ere many minutes were pursscd poor Nolau paid the full penalty of ihe misconception or error in judg; ment if error it was. Perilous, rash and desperate though tho attempt, Lon' Lucan reluctantly ordered the Earl of Cordigan to ad vance with hi3 brigade, and cheerful ly wo obeyed the startling order. We numbered only six hundred and seven horsemen, officers inclu lei. Each officer took up the words in succession "The brigade will advance; First squadron, march, trot, gallop !" and then for the first time, as I lead my squadron on, did I become aware how thirsty v.o unconsciously become when under fire. My lips were quite baked, yet the moruing air was moist and cool. We had before us a mil ami a half to gallop over, level a;id open ground, encumbered hero and there by the dead and wounded men and horses of the previous encounter; but these were swept over in our ad vance towards where tho black and grim artillery stood, with round and gapping muzzles, before the solid ar ray of Jlussiau Inrsis and foot these dark columns in long gray capotes, all cross belted, with fixed" bayonets in the "sun; darker and less distinct clouds cf borsotnen, whose forest of lances, (.word-blades and brighter ap pointments glittered and flashed among their unnumbered masses. On. and on we rode, and faces Hushed red, and hearts beat wildly, while the Earl, brave as every English gentleman thould be, with all his faults of tem per, led us on with brandished sword. Every hand was firm on 'the bridle, every grasp was firm ou the 6vord, every knee was pressed on the saddlo laps, every rowel was tinged with blood ; so, holster to holster and boot to Loot, the squadrons were prcssicg on. "Charge 1" escaped me, almost be fore the lime, and then t!.c madden ed horses rushed orr at full racing speed, with long invigorating blri-.l.ja. Our lances were all unslung, and iu the rest, tho bantierole3 fluttering he. foro the horses' heads ttad otitstreatch-t-d necks from which the manes were floating backward liko smoke. We vere soon within the lines of fire. Like the thunder of heaven the park of artillery shook the air, as can non, mortars aud rifles opened like fiery hell on front and flanks at ot:ee. An iron shmver of round shot and grape, shells and rockets, with a tem pest of conical rifle bullets, whizzed past our ears, or tore through horses and men, and down they went on right and left at every stride. Struck on tho breasf with a shell the gallant Nolan fell back in bis sad dle with a wild and harrowing cry, as his horse swept round and bore his body to the rear, with bis ft-et still in the stirrups, vindicating, even in death, his reputation as one of Eng land's noblest horsemen. Man after man, horse after horse.aro now going dov;n thick and f.ist,shrieks and prayers and curses rise together to hcaveu ; but the rest close in fr,.iu the flank, and firmer, deuser, wilder uud more resolute thai) ever wo rido the race of duath ! On and on yet, steeds snorting, lan ces rising and filling, pennons flut tering, and sabers flashing in tho sun shine. "Steady, lads, steady !" cried Lion el Beverly, as another shower of grape tore through tho squadron, nnd many more went down, though somo of the horses remained riderless in the rank, and galloped mechanically on. For a moment, amid the confusion, I saw the Col. for tho last timo as ha led us that nobis heart, that polished gen tle man and gallant lancer. Ho was deadly pale, fur he was mortally wounded in tho side. His lif'e-hlond was ebbing; but his sword was slill up lifted, and a light was flashing iu his eyes, which already could see tle "glories and tho terrors of the un known world." "C'loso gentlemen and com i- li it led '-! X APJUL 25, 1877. rades!

Poor Fred. Wil ton I ! On and yet on 1 Many' a familiar face is gone no,v ; the g:.p3 arc fear ful, nnd men who were on tlio flanks, now find themselves in the center. On we still gallop toward the mouth of fire on, an.) fearlessly. Tho best blood of the three kingdoms is in our ranks, all well and nobly mounted, the flower of our noble cnvalrr on ,yet like a whirlwind, the hearty Brit ish "iiurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah 1 ring ing iu our ears, the heart's blood seem mounting to the brain and now wo arc upon them! Now tho red flash ing myzzlorf tho cannon are passed ; the gnnneiSre throwing themselves under the wheels aud timbers, whero we cut them down, and spear or pin them to the turf. Others are rushing for shelter lo their squares of hfantry, under whoso rifles they lioflat and se curely, while sheets of lead arc tear ing through us ! Oh, tho superlative bitterness of that moment, when, with all our horses blown, I look back aod see that we tiro without supports ! , The guns are taken ths gunners almost nnnihili'ted ; our horses are breathless. Wo havo to ride back, under such a concentrated firs as troops weie never before exposed to. "It's all up threes about retire ?" .A single trumpet feebly gives the call, and away wo go. Shot in tho heart, perhaps my Arab steed sank down gently beneath me ; but I receive a severe blow from something, I know not what the splinter of a shell, probably, which crushed my larcc-r cup, end almost stunned me. I must have remounted myself mechanically, for v hen we hacked our way beck, and reached the rear, I was riding a bay kcioO of tho Eleventh IIus3ai3, the saddle and holsters of which were slimy with blood. The horse fell with me soon after, as it had been discmbowled by a grapeshot. Of all thos3 glorious regiments w ho formed the Light Brigade there came back but cno hundred aud ninety eight men; many cf lhe:-e were wound ed and many dismounted, and when tho rolls were called over at nightfall, it was found that one hundred and fifty-seven weie dead, one hundred and nineteen wounded, and three hundred and thirty lino horses were killed. leaving more than ot:o hundred nnd thirty dragoons unaccounted for. I had not the heart to number tl.c forty men who rpprt scnti d (lie two squadrons which followed Lionel Bev erly. There, on tho green sward of that Valley of Death", lay our gallant Colonel, cut in two by a round shot; Travers, torn to pieces by a grapeshot; S-orivcn, slain by three lance wounds; Howard, "the only son of his mother, and she was a widow ;" Frank Jocelyn, our old Sergeant-Major, and an in credible number of others killed. The flower of our lancers was there, and among them my faithful follower, Pitblado, with a villa bullet in his leg. Hot, breathless, still', soro and cov ered with bruises, I now discovered that in the molec though I was un conscious of having struck a blow there were, at leasttwenty notches in the blade of my sword, that I had re ceived three very severe laneo prods, two sword cut, and that my uniform was torn to rag?. Whwn wo hailed to girth up I threw myself on the rich grass of the valley, nnd, taking off my battered lancer cap, 1". It the cool breeze most grateful as it cam a from the dis tant sea. Then I buried my face among tho verdure, K-.-s for cooIik-js than from execs", of w caki:e.-s, and to hido the sorrow t Rat consumed me for t he losses we had su.stainud. From a distance cama the cheers cf the Heavy Brigade, avi-ngiug us and completing tho work wo had begun. Then tho fierce excilcmei t tho devil that had posssed mo pa-ed away, and I thought only of thu dying und tho dead. - - Tradition says that years ago, when tho hea 1 waters of the Chesapcako swarmed with wild fowl, the hands employed at an iron forgo at Havre do (Irnco once upon a time .refused to work because they wero led upon cau-vas-buek ducks instead of bacon.

On board the steamer Rhode Island Orrin F. llugglca, of Tioga county, Pennsylvania, Tuesday t"ck .passage for Providence. 0;-ri:i is a young man, fresh from his unlive hoalh :nd inno cent of guile, and a-:, ho strode tho ves sel's dock ho longed . f,r a cheerf :I covi! -anion. Such a one presented hi.r.s-.il' io t'oc person of El. Nesbit, a gentleman peculiar "i'-;r way 3 that are dark," but who, in a vest and coat of clerical cut, is a man of singularly meek and saiully presence. In such a guise he came Tuesday, ;u:l to Mr. K'.igglcs bo imparled, with a fthov of cori.-.ujucnoc, that he was a leather mo rib an I who had a cargo of hid', s on board. The young man from Tioga was delighted to mako so reputable an ticepiaia'.aiico, and v.l-cn the latttr showed him a peckttbock filled with gold coin his opinion of tho stranger became still higher. After ab.'-enting hivirdf for a while to l.ok after his merchandise tlio clci iwd looking stran ger reappeared, and said hurriedly that he was at a loss for change to pay some freight charges, and taking out a one hundred dollar bill 'ho laid it- on Qrrin's lap and stid : "Will you loan mo -15 for an hour or two till we caii change tho bill? Keep it till then." Mr. Eugglcs was only too hnppy To bo iu a position to obligo Ids new ac-qucintaiK-e, and he at ncea counted out tlm required sum. 'llio itranger took it, smiled his gratitude, rose to go, and then, a3 if an idea struck him, h said : "Ah, perhaps I could get sjmo chau?e for the bill below. L(t me havo it if you can and tako ihi.'," at tho same timo producing the plethoric pocket-book in which was tho goLl coin. "Take it, my dear sir," ho ad ded, seeing that Mr. Buggies hesitated. "It- is a mere form, of course, but ju dicious, very judicious among business men. One cannot tell nowadays with whom one is dealing. Take it, sir, till I return." Tho stranger, smiling still more suavely, bowed" himself away, and the Tioga youth placed tho poe'ketbook in his coat, thinking ell the tin.c how precise and formal these bus in ess men wero in their dealings. There had been a witness, however, to the collo quy iu the person of a small but posted darkey, who expressed his contempt of tho whole proceeding by halloing out; "Hay, Boss! Reckon you'ro Kudd. That 'ar ole cuss'll dust away with tho sugar. You're robbed, boss, shuah." "At this, Orrin F. Buggies, of Tjo ga, rose to his feet, and, in hia surpi isc and consternation, hoarsely articula ted : "Sonny, I kin run some." -And ho could. Bcforo the -stranger had left the pier Orrin had oveihauled him, and w ith his hand fiercely clutch ing the coat of clerical cut he demand ed his money. . His acquaintance of the upper deck looked up in surprise. "What !" said he, "did you think 1 was stealing ir, sir ? If you did, sir, hero "it, i-.. Now give mo miue."

It is needless to add that tho pletho ric pockctbook contained a lot of bogus coin. Advice is a first-rate thftig when the pc-r.-o.) giving it kcows what ho or she ir, talking about. But there nro vol umes of advice and eouij.-a l which arc utterly useless, and more than ukJc.ss bt-causu it is simply the result cf an uncontrollable desiro to say something what, makes no uiacretieo. Advice, to be worth anylhii.-g, needs to be ma tured beibro it is uttered. It is gether better, however, as a rule, to at tend to your own business and li t oth er people's alone, unless you are invi ted to iulerfcr?. Public men are es pecially tho victims of tho mlvico giver. Every nun aud woman in the world think themselves called upon to give a man who happens to be in pub lic life a sort cf advice, seeming entire ly to loso sight of the very important fact that any man who has mind enough to attract any com.idorablo sharu of public at tent km probably has euuugh to manage his ow n i;U'air.-j.

Curriii and tho o'l djje. Among the many anecdotes related cf ( '!irr.in, we cannot help thinking -of tho folloivirig, bearing upon the imper tii:cr.ce and assumption of Judge Rob-iu-.-oo, as among the most telling and t haraefcr'stio attacks of unpremedita ted a !::; up jn "bloated empiric" and "piifk; 1 pretence," lhat ever even Cur ran nfloided to t ho wor'd. The samn dtidgo libint-on, accoiding lo Lord Brougham, "was the author of many stupid, slavish, nnd scurrilous political pamphlet?, and, by his demerits raised to tho cniinenc.i which ha thus dis graced." Vrar;, v ry soon after be ing called to tho Bar, on somo state ment loado by Jadgo ilcbinsou (before whom ho was pleading), ohser7ed that "ho brt-l m-ver tort tho law, r.s laid down by hi.. Lordship, in any Look, in his library." "That may be, sir," said the .Judge ; "but I suspect that, your li- V In at y is very small." Cur ran replied, "I find it more instructive, my Lord, to study good works than to compose -bad ones. My books may be few, but the title-pages give me the writers' names, and my shelf is not disgraced by any such rank absurdities that their very authoi-3 are- ashamed tr. own them." "Sir," said' tho Judge, "you ate fcrgotliiigi-lhe respect which you owe to tho diguity of tho judicial char acter.'' "Dignity!"' exclaimed Mr. Ctirran ; "my lord, upon that point I shall cite you to a caso from a book of some authority, with which you are, perhaps, not unacquainted." He thou biid'y recited tho story of Su-ar in "Roderick Random," who, having stripped off his coat to f'ght,"cntiT,.,Ud it to a Lystamkr. When tho battle was over, and he was will beaten, ho turned to resume it, but the mini had carried it off Mr. Cumin thus ap plied the talo : "So, my lord, when the person entrusted with the dignity of the judgment scat lays it aside for a . moment to enter into a disgraceful per sonal contest, it is in vain,' when ho has beeu worsted in the encounter, that ho seeks lo resume it it is in vain that he tries to shelter himself behind an authority which ho lm abandoned." "If you say another word I'll commit yon," replied the angry r Judge; to which Mr. C. retorted, "If your lordship will do so, wo shall both -of ns-havo the consolation of reflecting that I um not the w-ors-t thing your lord-hip has committed." 36 A Surgeon snd a Priest. A French journal says that a fa mous French surgeon, lately decensed, who was brusque and unpolished, found, on entering his house one day, on old priest who had been long wait ing his return. "What do you want of me?'' "I want yon to look at this," meekly replied t lie priest, taking off an old woollen cravat, which revealed ou tito nape of his neck a hideous tumor. "You'll havo to dio with that," coolly remarked thu surgeon. "I thank you, doctor," simply replied tho old priest? replacing his cravat, "and am much obliged to you for warning me, for I can prepare myself, as well as my poor' parishioner.?, who love me very much.". The surgeon, who warj never astonished at great things looked upon the priest, 1 who received his death fct'tnee un moved, with amazement, andFaid: "Come to morrow at eight o'clock to the Hotel Dion, nnd ask for me." Tho priest was prompt. The surganti pro cured for him a special room, and in u month ihe mr.it w-;rt out cured. When leaving ho took out of a sack 110 fraucs in small change.
