A Soldier’s Emotion in Hattie. Our citi en soldiers inexperienced in the battle field will fi id the most ter. .rible mom -uts just before the combat begins. A soldier in his narration of personal adventures in the Mexican •war, published in ‘Howe’s Achieve ments of Americans,’ gives some inter- ■esting items on this head in his de scription ol the battle of Palo Alto, the opening battle of the war. When all was ready, both armies •stood still for about twenty minutes, ■did not see a single man of the enemy move; they stool like statues. We remained quiet with two excep tions. Gen. Tavlor, followed by his staff, rode from left to right at a slow pace, with his leg thrown over like a woman, and as he passed each regiment he spoke words of encouragement. I know not what he said to the others, but when he Caine up to where we stood, he . ther, it was remarkable to see the coolness of our men ; there they stood coolness oi our men ; mere tney stood, xucie » —- ■ chewing bits of biscuits, and talking young, but he m iy do some good.

Instantly an other, and then another rich curl of smoke arose, succeeded by a booming sound, and the shot came crashing to wards us. The enemy fired very rap idly, and their balls knocked the dust about us in all directions—some went over our heads, others struck the ground in front and bounded away. Our batteries now went to work, and poured in upon them u perfect storm of iron ; Lieut. Churchill and his men began with their eignteen pounders, and when the first was fired, it made such a loud report that our men gave a spontaneous shout, which seemed to inspire us with renewed confidence. I could hear every word the Lieuten ant said tp his men. When the first shot was fired, he watched the ball, saving, ‘Too high, tnen ; try another 1’ —too low, men ; trv again—the t iird time is the charm I’ Tne third shot was fiied, and I saw with mv own eyes the dreadful effect of that and the following shots. ‘That’s it, my boys !’ shouted Churchill, jumping up two feet; ‘you have tuern now 1 keep at that;’ and so they did, and every shot tore complete lanes through the enemy’s lines; but they stood it man fully. Tne full chorus of battle now raged ; twenty-three pieces of artillery belched forth their iron hail. We were ordered to lie down in the grass to avoid the shot; this puz zled the enemy, and they could not bring their guns to bear upon us, ma king our lo.-s very small. Many were the narrow escapes; one ball came within six inches of iny leftside. The force of the shot was tremendous; a horse’s body was no obstacle at all; a man’s leg was a mere pipe stem. I watched the shot as it struck the roots of the grass, and it was astonishing how the dust flew. In about an hour the grass caught oil fire, and the clouds each waiting for the other to begin the llIU -..-e, —, _ — work of death, and during this time I 'of smoke shut out the opposing armies .. . * .1 . />( ilwY nnoTYUf fiour Wu linn UQ Vpf lUWf fi from view. We had not as yet lost a man from our regiment. In the ob scurity the enemy changed their line, and the eighteen pounders, support ed by our regiment, tool a new posi tion on a little rise of ground. As we moved on to the spot a six pound shot carrie 1 away the lower j «w of Capt. Page, and then took off a mail’s head on the ri.-ht, as clean as with a knife.

Tne other occasion was that of Lieut. Blake, of the Engineers, who volunteered to gallop along the ene ray's line, in front of both armies, and count their guns; and so close did he go that he might have been shot down a hundred times, (hie of the officers of the enemy, doubtless thinking he had some communication to make, rode out to meet him. Blak ■, however, paid no attention to him, but rode on and then returned and reported to Taylor. Thus stood those two belligerent ar mies, face to face. What were the feelings of those thousa ds! llow many thoughts and fears were crowded into those few moments! Look at •our men ! a clammy sweat is settled all over faces siightlv pale, not Irom c >w ardly fear, hut from an awful sense of pt-rii, combined with a determination .not to fluich from duty. These are the moments in which true sold.crs re sign themselves to their fate, and con sole themselves with the refl ction that whatever may befall them they will act with honour; these are the , momenta when the absolute coward l suffers more than death—when, if not \ certain he would be shot in his tracks, he would turn and flee. Fighting is •very hard work; the man who has passed ihr ugh a two hours’ fight, has lived through a gr at amount of men tal and physical labor. At the end of a battle I always found that l had per spired so prolusely as to w«t all through in.y thick woolen clothing, ;and when I hod got cool, I was as sore •as if I had been beaten all over with a ■club. When the battle commences ■the feelings undergo a change. Header, •did you ever see your house on tire? if -so, it was then you rushed into great danger; it was then you went over places, el imbed over walls, lifted heavy loads, which you never could have done in your cooler moments; you then have experienced so ne of tne ex citement of a soldier in battle. I al ways knew iny danger—that at any moment I was liable to be killed, yet such was my excitement that I never fully realized it. All in-n are not alike; some are cool; some are per fectly wil i -or crazy ; others are so prostrated with fear that they are com plettdy unnerved—an awful sinking relaxation of all their energies takes place, awful to behold; they tremble like an aspen, slink into ditches and covert places, cry like children, and are totally insensible to shame— dead to every emotion but the overwhelm ing fear of instant death. We had a few, and but a few of such in our Army. As the two armies were facing each with me to my dying day. A little later, Major Ringgold was mortally wounded at „ . just after it. The shot had torn away -tV ;;'~iYnUh,-d mv coffee vou a portion of the fl s i of his thighs; its soon as I have finished iny coffee, you force was tremenduous, cutting off both his pistols at the locks, and also down in the grass, and as he endeav ored to raise himself, he presented such a ghastly spectacle that a sickly fainting sensation came over me, and the memory of that sight I shall carry ever saw st ed, which of his misery. The enemy tried hard, but without avail, to hit our eighteen pounders. The battle continued until night put an end to the scene. W Little Bob the Cabiu Bor* There is not one of us, however ery little child can be useful. I will tell you how useful a little cabin-boy was, who was sailing iu a large ship over the wide sea. It happened, that on the voyage, the sailors quarrelled with the captain, who was so proud and overbearing, that none of them would submit to him. This gave the captain so much trouble and preyed so much on his spirits that he became very ill; so ill as to be confined to his bod. None of tljp sailors cared for him; so there he lay very ill, and all alone. No one thought of speaking a kind word to the poor sick captain but little Bob. His Bible had taught him a less n which the sailors knew nothing about. It had taught him to be kind to every body, even to those who had used hirn ill; so he stole softly to the captain’s do »r, and knocked. ‘Who’s there ? asked the captain in a very gruff voice. ‘It’s little Bob, sir: can I do any thing for you ?' ‘Go to workyou scoundrel,'cried the captain in an angry tone. ‘Dont come plaguing me.’ Little Bob stole away more softly than he came, but his heart, was not filled with any angry feeling. He pitied the c ptuin slill more than he ,had done before. The next day he resolved to try again. He saw the poor captain was not on deck, and ag in he went and knocked at his door. ‘Who’s there ?’ ‘Captain, can I do anything for you to day ?’ asked little Bob. ‘No go awav,’ said the captain. Bob was pleased that the captain did not speak in so harsh a voice as he had done the day before, and he made up his mind to try again. Meantime the captain’s heart grew warm towards the kind little fellow. He thought how differently he acted from the un feeling sailors, who had not once in quired for him all the time of his ill ness ; he detei mined, that if he came again, he would let him in. When Bob came the next day, the captain said: ‘Come in.' Bob walked in on tiptoe, and said verv tenderly: ‘Flea.se, sir, can T do anything for you?’ Shall I mike your bed, or get you a cup of coffee ? I’ll do it iu a minute.’ ‘Well, Bob, you may, if you like,’ said the captain. Away ran B ib, in a few minutes ev erything was ready, the coffee and the hot toiA-st, and hr. wrought it on a truv to the captain’s bedside. Bob always carried with him the Bible in his pocket; and as he c: me into the room the captain observed it. ‘What book, is that ?’ said he. ‘It is the book my mother gave me,’ said Bob; ‘the nicest book you Useful Advice to Some Sort of People.

Good Opinion of Onesself. As the late Chief Justice Marshall was ri ding one morning to Court in his sin gle carriage, his horse fell and broke a shaft, ne was puzzled what to do.

From this time he came every day, and instructed the poor captain in the knowledge of Jesus the Savior, lie asked him many questions, and Bob knew how to answer them; thanks to his mother and his Sabbath school. One evening, the captain said : ‘Leave me that book of yours, Bob ; I should like to look at it myself.’ Bob willingly left it. 1 he nekl morning he went as usual and tapped at the cabin door. No answer cable, A^ain he tapped and louder. Still no answer. He op-lied the door and walked in. T..e captain was on his knees, and the Bible was lving open upon the chair before him. Bob spoke ; still there was no answer, lie came nearer; the captain never stirred, lie looked ; the captain was dead! He had died on his knees, praying over the Bible. We trust that, through the instructions of little Bob, lie had sought and found mercy at the hi nds of the Savior of sinners.

The dis charged melted earthy matter, called lava, from volcanoes, is thought to prove that the mass of the interior of the*earth is in a state of fusion ; while the hot springs in different pacts of the world show that a high temperature prevails at no very great depth.

To the most of women, the. great warfare of this probationary life must be a warfare best known by its result —the enemies they would vanquish in the hidderhooks of every day life, and the victories they gain in the warfare recorded not on the scroll of earthly fame, but by the watching angels, in God’s book on high. Then how great ly important is each day’s result in the discipline of domestic life, if there it is we are to achieve holy victories and then to receive the plaudit, ‘Well done’—or, at last to fi id inscribed up on our course, ‘Defeat, failure, irre trievable loss.’ [ggr* The Planters’ Banner, n{ St. Mar vs, tells the following good ’un : ‘A short lime since an old gentle man from Mi.-sissippi came down to A Suggestion for the Times.—It be hooves everv one to economise as much as possible dnri >g the existence of the war.

Misq totations preserving some shadow of resemblance to the language of God’s word, are quite nu merous, and are often made. ‘Spare the rod and spoil the child,’ has been quoted by many a good wo man as scriptural authority for the chastisement of unruly children. An approximation to it may be found in Proverbs xti. 24—‘He that sparethtbe rod hateth his son.’ ‘As the tree falls so it lies, is fre quently cited in discussions with Uni versalists, in connection with texts proving the uualterable condition of man ufter death. The true reading is ‘If the tree fall toward the South,or to ward the North, in the place where the tree falleth there shall it lie.’— Ecele. xi. 3. In the prayers offered at social meet ings, we often hear—‘Thou hast said, when two or three are gathered togeth er in my name, there I am in the midst of them, and to bless them.’ Tne last clause of the sentence is a very scriptural inference from the p e- ceding clause, but it was not said by- ’ylirist. None are more liable to misquote the Bible than those who have the most frequent occasion toj quote it Intimate familiarity with the ttiought, does not always ensure an exact recol lection of the words The tiueand only remedy for this misquotation, is never ’o cite a passage —certainly "ever in writing—without ver.fying it by ‘turning up’ the pas sage, and copying it directly from the book.

This eighth item is of univer sal application ‘Wfll, tny lad, where are you traveling this stormy weather, alone!’ asked an inquisitive landlord in the north of Vermont, during the last war, of a sm dl lad, whose father was tngagfd in smuggling, and had sent him, young as lie was, with an impor tant. message in advance of the party. ‘Going to draw my pension,’ was the reply. ., ‘Pension?’ echoed the astonished landlord. ‘What does so small a boy as vou draw a pension for?’ ‘Minding mv own business, and let ting that of others alone!’ Tne lund. lord was silent. No woman can be a lady who can wound or mortify another. No mat ter howabeautifu', how refined, how cultivated she may be, she is in reality cars*, an 1 the innate vugtrny of her nature in iiifests itself here. Uni formly kind, courteous and polite treatment of all pet sons is one trark of a trae woman. Courtesy. Courtesy is not merely an obser- ty ; it is in r.-ality foui ded on com inon (ease and manly feeling. A dis courteous man is one of the greatest bores in the world. He offends every body, and instead of being treated with . - . t : i :— i— Jjj s of exercising this virtue. Benevolent men are always courteous; the desire to give pleasure to others is sufficient inducement for them to cultivate this good quality. It is just as easy to be Courteous as the reverse. The lime has gone by when bluntness was ta ken us a sign of honesty. It has been found that dishonest men can be blunt and rude as well as honest tnen ; and compliments of deference to the fe.l- mgs of others hag ceased to be a mark of insincerity. A person who is habituously dis courteous, generally possesses but lit tle sensibility, and he cares nothing about wounding the feelings of otheis, excusing himself by saying tie only speaks what he thinks; that is, to put forth his own private opinion, whatev er ii may be, no matter whether H would wound the feelings of his dear est friend. Of course, if a person’s opinion is requested, he must tell the truth; but even that can be done in courteous language which will wound no one. If courtesy were more gen erally practiced, it would be conduc tive of the best ie ; u!ts. Mutual civili ty an.ong all classes of society would be found a porent remedy for more than half the social evils that now op press us.
