Never in tlie history of war, did two ar

only on mutual destruction; the vital interests j beside the Italian ; the gay vine dresser, from

Hints to Lovers.—If a youth is wooing-
ly disposed towards any damsel as he values
his happiness, let him follow my advice; call
on the lady when she least expects him, and
take notice of the appearance of all that is
under her control. Observe if the shoe fits neat
ly—if the gl oves are^clean, and the hair neat—
and 1 would forgive a man for breaking off’ an
engagement, if he discovered a greasy novel
hid away under the cushion of a sofa, or a hole
in the garniture of the prettiest foot in the
world. Slovenliness will ever be avoided by a
well regulated mind as would a pestilence. A
woman cannot be “dressed,” particularly one
in middle or humble life, where her duty, and

than his fortunes, and there is majesty itt a subtle light; in all experience it deceives if-*

its path.
Time.—Time is the mask of eternity.
Nothing sets up a woman’s spunk like call
ing her ugly—she gets her back right up like
a cat when a strange dog comes near her; she
is all eyes, claws and bristles.
Marriage is a feast where the grace is some
times better than the dinner.
Happy Marriages.—Miss Landon says, ,
“ The only happy marriages 1 ever heard*of i

much knowledge does it impart! It makes
us alive to a thousand feelings, of whose very
existence, till then, wo had not dreamed. The
poet’s page has a new magic; we comprehend
all that had before seemed graceful exaggera
tion : weuow find that poetiyfalls short of what
it seeks to express ; and we take a new delight
in the musical language that seems made for
tenderness. Even into philosophy is carried

wliero the brave should find a glorious death,
cowurds will perish in the deserts of Si
beria.” Still the French were driven on with
the loss of 3000 men, and the whole Russian
line were pressing on to victory, when the
rapid night of tlie north fell, and the battle
was at an end.
This was the first heavy blow which Napo
leon had received in Europeon war. He had
once before been on the point of ruin, but it
was Syria, and a British officer liad the honor
of making the conquerer of Italy recoil. It is
now unquestionable that at Eylau lie was de
feated. At 10 at night he gave orders for his ar
tillery and baggage to defile to tlie rear, and
the advanced post to retreat.—He was on the
point of being disgraced in tlie eyes of Europe
when lie was saved that disgrace by the inde-
cisiou of the Russian general. A council of
war was held by the Russian leaders on horse
back, to decide ou tlieir future course. Count
Osterman Tolstoy, the second in command,
with Generals lvnoring and Lestocq, urged
strongly that retreat was not to be thought of,
that Napoleon was beaten in a pitched battle,
that which ever army gained ground tvould be
reputed tlie victor, and that the true policy
was to throw their whole force upon him
without delay. But Bonington, unluckily sa
tisfied with his triumph, past the vigour of
youth, unacquainted with the enormous losses
of the French army, and exhausted by thirty-
six hours on horseback, directed tlie march on
Koningsbergh.—Such was the terrible battle
of Eylau, fought in lhe depth of winter, amidst
ice and snow, under circumstances of unex
pected horror; the most bloody and obstinate
ly contested that had yet occurred during the
war—and in which, if Napoleon did not sus
tain a positive defeat, he underwent a disaster
which, had well nigh proved his ruin. The
loss on both sides was 7 immense, and never,
in modern times, had a field of battle been
stvewed 1 witli such a multitude of slain.
On the side of the Russians, twenty-five
thousand had fallen, of Avhom about seven
thousand were no more ; on that of the French
up-wards of thirty-thousand were killed or
wounded, and nearly ten thousand had left

was spectacle so dreadftiltas the field of battle
presented 1 on the following, morning. About
fifty thousand men lay in; the space of two
leagues,, weltering nr feSsod. The wounds
were for the most part of the severest hind,
from the exordinary quantity of cannow balls
which had been discharged during the action,
and the close proximity of the contending
masses, to the deadly batteries, which spread
grape at half musket shot, through their ranfts.
Though stretched on the cold snow, and ex
posed to the severity of ap: Arctic winter, they
Wells, when lo and behold ! at the identical
spot we perceived a boy in the last stage of
distress, wringing Lis hands, and weeping
aloud, and gazing intently for something which
seemed to have disappeared in the river. We
of course inquired what was the matter; but
I the poor fellow was too overcome to speak in
telligibly; though he was able to imitate by
signs the cause of liis agony was in the water.
In such cases every moment is precious ; and
merely throwing oft’ liis new hat, Corkindale
was instantly diving in the stream, wliere he
kept under, indeed, so long, that I really began
to fear that he had been grappled by some per
ishing wretch at the liottom. At last,however,
he emerged; but it was only to ask eagerly
for a more explicit direction. By this time
the poor boy was more composed, so as to be
able to direct the search rather more to the
left—which was with the current. Accord
ingly, down went Corkingdale, a second time,
in the direction pointed out, but with no'bet-
tcr success ; and when he came up again, be
tween agitation and exertion, he was almost
exhausted. At last he was just able toai’ticu-
late, “ Gracious heaven ! Nothing—not a
shred !” The anxiety of the poor hoy, in the
meantime, seemed extreme. “ Law bless you
sir, for ever and ever,” said he “ for going in,
sir—but do hut try again-—pray,pray do, sir!”
Corkindale did not require urging. “ Quick !
quick!” says lie, making himself up for an
other attempt, “tell me, man or woman ?”
“ Oh! how good on you, sir,” cries the poor
fellow, quite delighted at the fresh hope—
“Oh! how very, very good on you, sir. But
it’s nobody, sir, but a hook !—a hook for f,sit
ing ! And oh dear!-—if you don’t find it!—
for I’ve got never a fardin to buy another !”
Pious Customs of the Swiss.—It is the
custom, in the valleys of the canton of Berne,
whenever the father of a family builds a house,
and the walls are raised to their full height, to
request tlie minister of the parish to pray to
God inside. The workmen, and such as aie to
assist in finishing the house, meet together,
and unite in thanking the Lord for his care
hitherto, and entreat a continuance of it,
through the more dangerous part that remains.
“ This prayer,” observes M. Paulct, the pastor
of Coutelary, “ when made in faith, redoubles
one's strength, and removee all fear of dan
ger.” “ If God be for us, who can be against
us?” observed an old carpenter to the same
minister, when he advised him not to expose
himself too incautiously. A blessing termi
nates this pious ceremony; the workmen re
turn to their labors, and the noise of hammers
begins to be heard again. How pleasing it is
to see a practical acknowledgement of the
truth, “ Except the Lord 1 build the house, they
labor in vain that build it ft’
The following pious custom is also general
among the inhabitants of the Alps. The
shepherd’s horn in the Alpine regions is the
signal for a solemn and religious duty, and is
used for a* much noble purpose than the mere
return of the cattle from their pasturage.
When the sun has quitted the valley, and his
lingering beams still cast a glow of fading
light on the snowy summits of tHe mountainfev
the shepherd, whose hut is placed off the high
est Alp, grasps his horn, and pronounces,
through liis speaking trumpet, the solemn in
junction to the woTltf bemw, “ Praise ye the'
Lewi.” Every shepherd iff the neighborhood,
who catches this sound in succession, repeats
the 6ame sentence at the door of his cabin.
Thus, perhaps, for a quarter of an hour, the

WOMAN 1IER SPHERB.
A beautiful woman and her husband were
once lost in a wood, in the middle of a very
dark night. On all sides they heard nothing
but the shrill whistle of robbers, or the loud
cries of wolves; the sky too was tempestu
ous. Thefemale became at once motionless
through fear.
“ What will become of us ?” cried she, cling
ing to her husband.
° r
Let us continue our journey, my love,” he
replied.
“ But, good heavens ! the robbers !”
“Well, then let us return.”
“Oh, that’s worse ! the Mild beasts!”
“What would you have, then ?”
“Leave this place,”
“ We can only do that my love, by going
fonvard or returning—choose which.”
The female then shut her eyes, stopped her
cars, and suffered herself to be conducted by
her husband.
