seven o'clock that eysning , by
r the ; Fits

er necessary that, he should he there
that hoar. So the Stage Company said
to Henry Monk, the driver of the saki?,
" Henry, this man must.be' there by Bey
ea o'clock to -night." And , Henry fit,
awsred t " The peat man shall be there:
The roads were , in an . awful state, z aff.d'
during the first few miles out of :F4som,

" Sir," said Mr. Greeley, " aremm ;

" Pre got r .my orders," lacenicall,y,-rei

Butltha:spead Wka not:increased,- au',
Greeltifchafed 'away , another
hour ; then, as he was, again about to
remonstrate with the driver, the horses
started into a furious run, and .a 1 sorts
of encouraging yells filled the air, from
the throat of Henry Monk.
•That's right, my good fellOw.T! said
Mr. Greeley. "1.11 give you ten dollars .
when we-arrive at Placerville. -Now we
are going !"
They were, indeed, and at a terrible
speed
Crack! crack went the whip, and
again that voice split the air. — "Git up I
Hi hi! G'long 1 Yip—yip !"
And on they tore, over stones and
ruts,'np hills and down; at a rate' never
before achieved by stage horses.
Mr. Greeley, who had been bouncing
froin one end of the Coach to the other
like 'anindia rubber ball, managed to-get
his head out of the window, when he
said
"Deal on 1-on't yon.u-n think we•e-e

,
on't`go so fast ?"
" I've got toy orders!" That was all
Henry ilonk said. And on tore the
coach:
It was hemming serious. Already
the jonynaltst was extremely Bore from
the terrible jolting, and again his head
"might have been seen" at the window
"Sir," he said, I. ‘ I don't care• Care-air

the coach narrowly escaped turning a

"`l've got' my orders ! I work for the

sr Mr. Fields, a London bookseller,
is known for his wonderful memory and
knowledge of English literature. It - is
said that - when any anther in the neigh
borhood is at a loss for a particular pas;
sage, he goes at once down to the "book
store" forth° desired information. One
day, at a dinner-party, a would be wit,
thinking to puzzle M. Fields, and make
sport for the company, announced., prior
to Mr. Field's arrival; that-he had him
self written some poetry, and'intende'd
to submit it to Mr. Fields as Southey's.
At the proper moment, therefore, ,after
thesuestemere Beate d, he began "Friend
Field, I have,been rt good deal exercis
ed onate, trying to-find out in South
ey's, poems his well known lines zurtning
thus" (quoting .the lines he had, com
posed.) "Ceti you tell . us about what

plied Mr. Fields." "And there were on
ly two perioda 'in Southey's life when
such lines could p'ossibly have been writ

gleefully' ask'e ' d ! the Witty restitiner.

The celebrat,ed report. of Dr. Mena
on the,mortaiity caused by war.contains
some. interesting information. concerning
the, appearances piesented by , soma who
.
die, a violent death on the field of bat
tle. One surgeon says that wandering
oVer.,the battle field of the Alma, on the
third day after the fight, he observed
with astonishment a number of Russian
corpses whose altitude and expression
of countenance were precisely those of
life. Some did certaitily present an as
peat whidh showad that they had suffer
ed severely just preyions to dissolution.
but these were few in number compared
with those who wore a calm and resign-
ed expreision, as theiighilinifid pass
ed away in the act of prayer. Others
tad a smile on their.fine, andloOked as,
if they were in the act of speaking.
One in particular attracted his special
attention was lying partly on hie
side ; his kn‘ies were bent under him ;
his hands were clasped together and
pointing upward; his head was thrown
back, and he was apparently still pray
ing—evidently he wee in the
: act of
doing so at the moment when death
laid - his hand upon hiin. Another medi
cal man relates that after the battle of
Inkerthann the faces 'of many of the
dead still wore a smile ; while `others
had a threatening expression : —Some
lay, stretched on their back, as if friend
ly hands had prepared them for burial.
Some were still resting on one knee,
their hands - grasping their muskets. In
some instances the cartridge remained
between the teeth, or the musket was
hold in , one hand, and the dther was up
lifted as though to 'ward - off - a - blow, or
ad if appealing to Heaven. The faces
of all were pale as.though cut-in marble.
As airs wind swept.acrose the battlefield
tit-wav ed the hair; anil-gaye the bodies
stick an appearance of life that a spelt
tator could heidljilieliihinking they
were about to arise 'to continue the
fight. •
Another surgeon, describing the ap
pearance of the corpses on the field of
Magenta says that' they furnish indubit
able proof that man may cease to •exist
without suffering the least pain. Those
struck on the head generally lay with
their faces on the ground, their limbs
retaining-the-position-they—were in at
the instant•they -were struck and most
of , thcise-still held their lines ; +showiog
that when a ball entered •the braio it
causes such-a contraction of the rankles
that - there is not time for the hand to
lose ifs hold of themeapon before death.
Another peceliarity observed in the
case of those irho were wounded-in the
brain, was the _suddenness with 'which
they died even when stuipected to be
out of -danger.---Daring---the---battle of
Sblferino, a'rifleman. was wounded inthe
head by ball which passed through'the
skull, and buried itself-in the brain.— , .
His wound 'was dressed,+- and be - was
streteked on straw,-with his head. rest
ing on his knapsack, likh his wounded
comrades. , He retained the full. use; of
his faculties, add Witted about his
wound,•almost: with indifference, -as =he
filled' his-pipe - and lay smoking:it. New
ertheless, before he had finished it death
came upon-himrandshe-was-feund lying
in the same attitu'de; with his, iiii)esstill
'betweenbis teeth. He had never 'utter-
edit cryl or given any sign that

In:enees where the ball •had entered
The heart nearly the 'time appearantee

who'had'beenetruok in the brain; death

pression of their faces, the extreme neat
ness of their dress and the cleanliness
of their persons. Most of them had fair
hair, and their countenance bore the
stamp of calm resignation. The beat
opportunity of seeing the aspect of the
masses who died on the field, was when
thpy lay stretched besides the trenchers
which were destined to be their final
resting-place. So far were their faces
from presenting the livid appearance and
the expression of despair which painters
are in the habit of producing in pictures
of battle-fields, that a spectator could
hardly help calling to the burying par•
ties to wait a little before covering
them up, they were so like life.
The Child's Etiquette in ten Com-
mandments
The following hints on Education,
Etiquette, and Morale, to children,
should be inculcated by all parents, and
committed to memory and practiced by
those for whom they are intended :
I. Always say Yes, sir. No, sir.
Yes. Papa. No, Papa. Thank you.
No, thank you. Good night. Good
morning. Never say How, or Which,
•for What. Use no slang terms. Re
member, good spelling, reading, writing
and grammar is the baso of all true ed
it-cation."
IL Clean faces, clean clothes, clean
shoes and clean finger nails indicate
good breeding. Neier leave your cloth
es about the room. nave a place for
everything, and everything in its place.
111. Rap before entering a room,
and never leave with your back , to the
company. Never enter a private room
or public place with your cap on.
IV. Always offer your seat to a lady
or old gentleman. Let your companions
ester the carriage or room first.
V At table eat With your fork : sit
.wp !insight ; never use' your toothpick
(although Europeans do,). and when
leaving ask to be excused..,
' VI. - Never put your feet on cushions,
chairs or table.
VII. Never overlook any. one when
reading or writing, no,r talk nor read
aloud while others are reading. When
conversing listekattentively, and do not
interrupt or reply till the other is finish
ed.
VIII. Never talk or whisper aloud
at the opera, theatre or public places,
and especially in a private room where
any one is singing or playing the piano.
IX. Loud coughing, hawking, yawn-
ing, sneezing and bluwing ire ill-man
nered.. In any case cover -your mouth
with your handkerchief (which never ex
amine,:nothing is more vulgar, except
spittiOg on the floor.)
I. Treat all with respect, especially
the poor. • Be careful to injure no one's
feelings by unkind.remarks. Never tell
tales, •make faces, call names, ridicule
thelame, mimic the unfortunate, or be
cruel to insects, birds or animals.
