WHY I EXCHANGED.
AN IKTEBIWriKO MITUATIOfi.
Homo flveyonr* ago I *aa ll*dtern ill
A marching regiment, nml quartered in n
large garrison towifin England. My do
ih-m outdated of the ufil round. of morn-;
ing nml afternoon imrnrtiw, visiting tlfij
men’* dinners and ten*, ami other regu-!
work. In mUittatf to thin wo had oc
. . joimlly to munnt guard* nwi to jwha
• ■ nty-four hour* in a Hurt of half impris
onment.
It in one of the regulation* of tlm acr-
Tiee that when officers or tti n arc on guard
m-V should always In: in a Htate of roiuli- j
liuiw to ‘‘fall in” on parade at a mofneirt’s :
uot’ee. If you feel very sleepy afnl desire
rest yon must take it while you arc but
■ ~ncd up to the throat anti strapped down
t the heels. A lounge in an arm-c'inir or
upon n sofa, is the extent of rest which an
officer mi guard is supposed to indulge
in.
Among my brother subaltern* in gam
i iit was our usual practice to infringe
: m this strict letter of the law, nml when
; principal part of our duty had hewn
ne .mpliahed, we used to indulge ourselves
t livesting our limb* of their uruior, and
.lugrefreshments between the sheets
nf e 1 Hie munp-bed that wsui plucod ill an
in -r guard room.
1 was part of the duties of an officer on
'■ '.l to visit ull the sentries during the
t. the time for visiting them being
i. ’ly mi hour or so alter tile field ofllcer ,
ii. . i.iitcd the guard, who was on duty
ii oho day, and who came once by!
,biv nd oneu by night to see guard and
io ■ i that ail was as it ahotilil bo. There
not exact limit to the number of time*
lb the Held officer might visit tlnguard*,
i ■ ,i was the usual tluug, and it had
1 .lie almost a cuatom, for him to come
duel, liy day and once by night, so that
h!'’ ■ ■■ 11ns first the subaltern usually waited
an h air orao, walked round the limits of
),l post, visited all of his sentries anil
tin . turned into laid.
j waa a hitter cohl morning in January
that my time for guard came on. 1 inarcli
i.d my men to the pout, relieved the old
i'u ir<), and then, having gone tlnongli the
regular duty anil dined, endeavored to
pus the time until the field officer had
visited me. The previous evening I had
been ut a ball in town, and in eetiaequeuoe
was Coy tiri.nl and sleepy, and looked
with considerable longing to the period
when I could unrobe onu enjoy u good
i U'Xi/.0.
At length I heard the welcome challenge,
"Who comes there?" which was an
wared, “Guard roiiTida,” and “guard
turn out I” was a signal which i willingly
obeyed, for 1 knew Unit in an hour after
wards I would he in the arms of the guard
of sleep.
.Slipping on my cloak nml rap, and
grasping my aword I placed myself before
lliu guard and received the field officer,
who briefly asked me if everything waa
correct, directed me to dismiss my guard,
mid rode of without saying good night, a
proceeding that l thought very formal.
(living directions to the sergeant to call
mo in an hour, for the purpose of visiting
tlm sentries, l threw myself into my arm*
chair nml tried to read a novel. The time
passed very quickly, as l had a nap or
two, nml the sergeant soon appeared with
n lantern to conduct me round tlm sen
tries.
it wna a tcrrililo night, the wind Mow
in" hard, while llio snow nml sleet were
driving along before it, Thu sentries
were very much scattered, and I lind to
walk nearly two miles to visit them all. Ii
w'oomplished my task, however, and re- |
turned to the guardsroom, where 1 treated |
myself to a stilt glass of grog, nnd throw- i
mg oil my regimen tala. I jumped into
bed, feeling tlmt I deserved the luxury.
In a few moments 1 was fast asleep, not
even dreaming of my fuir partners of the
half. Suddenly 1 became conscious of n
great noise, which sounded like a drum
being beaten.
>U first 1 did not realize my position,
and could not remember where I was, hut
at la t it Hashed across me that 1 was on
guard and that something was the matter.
,t;o ping out of bed, 1 called to know who
wa there.
The sergeant answeridin a groat harry,
s . mg, ‘“Hir, the fluid officer of the day
1> coming, and the guard is turning out. '
I l ushed for my boots, pulled them on
over my bare feet; tbvnstmy swordarmn|
:uto my large regimental cloak, which 11
.'led over me; jammed my forage eap on I
■nv bead and grasping my sword, looked
to the outwapd ybkcrvci as though "lit for
parade.”
1 was just in time to receive tlio field
officer, who again asked' W my guard was
correct. I answered rather ia- u tone of
sui'i'iiso:
‘Yes, sir, all correct.”
1 .■ ailil not imagine why my guard
should be visited twice, as such a proceed
jug w is unusual, and perhaps my tone
inn. ,1 to imply. that l was surprised.
Yt.i, her it was that, ov whether a trencher
< n , gust of wind removed the folds of my
cloak and exhibited the slightest bit. of the
i'i o'my night-shirt, I know not, hut I

turn It wean a warm bed in a warm room,
and the outside air- mid to walk two miles
ou a wiudy, frosty night, with no raiment
1 sides lauds, liight-sliirt and clonk, was
a ad v suffering for one’s country nnd no
i ’s'. le. 1 dared not show th slightest
b ' "ion, however, for fear the state of i
s ’ ire might be suspected, though 1
v ■' have given a week's pny to have
i t for only five minutes. A non
v "i issioned officer was ready with a
1 ' n and we started, ow our tour of in
i non.
I no field ofßoet naked several questions
ihected with the position and duties of
ibe sentries, to which I gave answers as
■ Has the chattering of my teeth would
l ennit me. The most nervous work, j
i wevur, was passing the gas lamps, which;
’ plaeevl at lutcrvnla of one or two bund
r yurils. The wiud *e Moping so!
i h tliat it was with difficulty I could i
1 '.l my cloak around me. Every now
i then a extra gust of wind would come
i nml a ooruvr, nml fpiite defeat all the j
"autioiis which I bad adopted to oncoun-!
i the heavy gale. 1 managed to dodge in
t * shade as mixdras possible and more
t u om-e mu the risk of being kicked by
t field officer's horse, as I slunk behind
1 n when the gas revealed too much.
I bad a faint hope tlmt the field officer 1
i gUt think I lielonged to a Highland
i pineiit, ami if he did observe the ocanti
i ns of ruy attire might believe that the ;
i t.would explain it. I struggled and
skivered on. knowing tlmt till things must
1 ve an end, and that my ‘‘rmmdiv’ most
i am tn an end before long. Hut Xfeared
- oul 1 not get warm during the night
We bad nearly completed our tour, and
were witbiu u-a-t buuuixil of the
guard room, when we passed tlie field '
officer's quarters. I fondly hoped that he j
would not pass them, pint I waa mtlier !
surprised to see a blaze of light come from
the windows, and to hear the sound of
music. It was evident that there was u
"hop” going on inside, and 1 already bo
' gall to feel even worse misfortune Was yot
j to attend me.
Mv premonitions were tme, for upon
[ reaching the door, my persecutor in a
' cheerful tone said:
“We have had a cofd tour, yoti must
; eonie in and have a glass of wiue, and j>er
, liiiiis a waltz will warm you.”
i hastily nnsweied. “I’m really much
'■ obliged, but I should not like to leave my
[ guafd.”
“Nonsense, nonsense, man—the gnard
i will he all right —you uniat come in."
This “must” he said in quite a deter
i mined tone.
I felt desperate, sod again declared that
11 thought it was wrong to leave my
j guard.
“I’ll hike the responsibility, so come
along,” aaying which lie grasped my arm
and almost draggl’d me into the porch of
his quarters.
When we entered the house and were
exposed to th light of the hall lampa, J
fancied I saw a slight twinkle in the eyes
of the officer, mm I began to wonder
whether he really kftew of my predica
ment, and wished to have Ilia joke. Ho
gave no other intimation, however, that
: i saw, but quickly took off hia cloak and
' said 1 bad better do tlus same. Seeing
| me hesitated he aaiil:
“Come, off with it."
Further remonstrance I found would be ;
useless, so tluit there wus no help for me ;
but a full confession. Summoning my !
courage, anil fearing to hesitate, 1 blurted
out:
“Col., I've no trousers on,”
“The deuce you haven’t! Well you'd
better go and put them on, and then come
here uh soon as possible anil have a glims
of inn m drink” #9
I rushed out half determined not to
return. 1 was fully awake How, and shiv
ered like a half-drow neiijdog, but no sooner
laid I dressed myself than the Col. chOip
over to say that a quadrille was waiting
i for me.
I determined to put a bold face on the
matter, and entered the drawing room
where a party of about fifty had assembled,
ft was evident by the 11110111 of the young
ladies, the grins of the men ami the sub- j
dneil smilea of the dowagers, that my
story was know’ll.
The Col. had told it ns a good joke to
the Major lie laid wbispertd it to hia w ife,
t she hod breathed into the ear of two of
her friends, and in about ten minutes
] every person in the room knew a young
subaltern had very unwilling gono his
rounds in a night shirt.
As long as 1 stayed in tlmt garrison I
was a standing joke. When the girls saw
me they always looked away amt smih'd,
nud it seemed as impossible Tor bio to
obtain a serious answer from any of them
as for n clown to preach a sermon. They
even seemed to be afraid to dance w ith
me, fearing, I afterward heard, to look at
j my legs, lest I might bo deficient in some
article of raiment.
1 soon exchanged and went into anoth
er regiment, ana your* afterward heard
Vuy own adventure related in u crowded
drawing-room, nil of the details of the
I story being true, except the mime of the
subaltern my misfortune having been
attributed to another unfortunate fellow.
1 never went to bed oil guard after Unit
night.

Owing to the constant, inquiries from
various portions of the United States in
; regard to tlw Eucalyptus Ulohuhin, or
Australian gum-tree, wo urn induced to
give a thorough description of it, enibrac
ing facts not hitherto published.
Through the courtesy of Son tag &. do., of
lliia city, who have devoted iniieh time to
(lie cultivation of too tree, we have ob
tained most of the information here
furnished. The Eucalyptus is extensively
grown in, and is favorably known to nil
residents of California, ’where probably
not less than one million trees are
planted. In this city, in front of hand
some residences, you will find it with its
magnificent drooping brunches, making an
effective and graceful shade-tree. In
Oakland the broad avenues are lined with
them. Eucalyptus forests are planted in
the country surrounding Oakland, slid in
fact every country of tliia State w here the
cold winter will permit it to live, the
Eucalyptus will bo found growing.
The wonderful properties of this tree
have only within the last few years been
discovered ami appreciated, ft is justly
claimed that when the tree flourishes in
low, marshy and feverish districts, all
miasma will cease. It destroys the
malarial element in any atmosphere where
it grows, and is a great absorbent drain
ing the subsoil almost ns thoroughly ns a
regular system of piping.
The Eucalyptus is an evergreen, and is
found in its native country, Tesuiania, in
boundless forests, both on the hillside
and in the lowlands, under extremes of
heat and cold, ranging from 130 to 20
degrees Fahrenheit. Whether it will
endure a greater degree of cold, wc think,
has as yet been undetermined. It- is,
! however, worthy a trial. Its remarkably
; rapid growth is a matter of much surprise
--atturning, us it does, maximum height
of about 300 feet, with a circumference of
from 30 to 50 feet. For timber and fuel it
is exceedingly useful, being hard and
easily worked, and very serviceable for
such purposes as the keels of vessels,
bridges, cot., where strength and dura
bility arc essential. It is t stimated that
from if 1,000,000 to $5,000,000 m value of
this timber is exported annually from
Australia. The leaves of this tree are of
a dark-bluish color, about ten inches long,
an inch wide, thin and oddly twisted.
They cxluilo. a sti'oug eauiphor-like odor,
quite agreeable and pleasant, which with
the largo absorption of water by the roots
causes the beneficial inilucnce of the tree.
It bears a small white flower, having no
odor. In consequence of its antifebrile
qualities, the English Government has
planted it extensively in the East Indies
and Africa, in fever districts, with the
most satisfactory results. In France,
Cab*, Spain, Mexico, nnd many other
places where malarm, fever ague, and
other pestilential diseases prevailed, the
eucalypti have also been planted.
The wonderful proprieties- of Ibis tree
have been discussed by many scientific
institutions ill Europe.' In the Academy
,of Hctences ia this city Sts medicinal and
antimiasmstie qualities have received
i considerable attention, fir, Vigtte Dtl
puytren testified before that Academy of
the virtues of the Eucalyptus, sad stated
that lie and Dr. d’Oliveiu hod tested it ill
the I reucli Hospital. In the garden sur
rounding this hospital a largw nuroßeP pHf
trees are planted lor sanitary piwposeas
It has been found efficacious in the treat
ment of nflectiona of the larynm and of
mucous membruue in general. Expel i-
j meats, carefully made, have proved that
iu a medicinal preparation it cures eases
!of intermittent fever, against which
quinine alone proven powerless. It is also
valuable as a disinfectant.
In Algeria its cultivation wus undertak
en on a large scale. Some 18,000 eu
calypti were planted in an extremely
peatilentia! and unhealthy section, where
fever prevailed to u great extent every
year. During tlie first year of their
growth, at the time when the fever senaon
uaed to set in, not a single ease of fever
occurred, yet tlie trees were only nine
feet high. Kince thou this place is re
ported free from iW unwelcome visita
tions.
In tlie vicinity of Constantinople,
another fever spot marshy and sickly,
the whole ground was dried up by 14,000
of these trees. In Cuba, marsh diseases
arc rapidly disappearing upon the ifitro
ductiou of this tree. A railway station in
the Department of the Var was so pes
tilential that the officials could not remain
there longer than a year, Forty of these
trees were plunted, and the unhealthy
condition of the place was changed. Two
miles from Haywards, in this State, tlie
Surveyor-General planted two groves of
the Eucalyptus, one of about ninety acres
! and the other seventy acres, the whole
I comprising about 150/Ml trees. They
■ are now only about five yenrs old, yet
1 many of the trees are forty to fifty feet
I high, the whole making a most extensive
mid beautiful forest; for fuel and timber
purposes being worth thousands of dol
j lata. -S. F. FJf nitty Bulletin.
How She Wa Quieted.
Friday evening a woman about 30 years
old was arrested in the Western district j
for disturbing the peace, and the event
almost distracted her, although she hod j
seen the inside of s cell before. Hhe be
gan howling and weeping ns soon us she j
was locked up, and llijuli, the janitor of j
the Ninth Avenue Htation, felt his heart;
getting tender. He offered her a harvest j
apple, but she merely shipped long
enough to see what it was, ntrd’ then Went
on crying out: “I am dying, I know I
am 1” He besought her to live for the
sake of her husbunil, who was away on
the lakes, lmt she said she would be cold
in dentil before morning if not set at
liberty. Ho showed her the almanac and
tried to induce her to |m'lHbo it and settle
her mind, hut she tried to pull his hair
through the liars, and raised her voice
until it could bo heard two blocks away.
He began reading the almanac out loud,
but. she drowned hia voice, and he hail to
give up. Thou he went out and bought
Home peppermint drops and handed to her,
auying that it waa a burning shame to
arrest n luily like her for merely hitting
another woman ou the ear with a shovel.
She was quiet for u few minutes and then
broke out again, and the roof of the
station seemed to be raising up. bijar
| offered her a pound of gum drops, anew
bonnet, a black silk dress, house and lot,
and (550,000 in 1 Kinds if slio would only
quit but she danced up and down and
; yelled, "Lcmme out or I shall di-ah !” He
| locked all the doors and sat down on the
! flout steps to let her exhaust herself, but
: after an hour and ten minutes, there be
ing no cessation, be ran iu with an axe on
hi* shoulder and threatened to cut her
j head off if she didn't stop. "I won't! I
t won’t! I won’t!” alio shouted, dancing up
; and down, and taking a fresh start. He
drummed on the coal scuttle with the axe
to drown her voice, but Hie voice
drowned the scuttle. He put tlie hose on
the penstock anil threatened to drown
her, hut she shut her eyes and pitched
her voice oil anew key’ The old man
was in despair. The men upstairs
I couldn’t, sleep, anil tlie people out doors
i thought that a panther had been caged. As
the officer rubbed bis bald bead and look
; ed around bis eye lighted on an old paper,
| and his smile extended from ear to ear.
i He curried it in, turned up tlie gas, and
i shouted, “Have yon read the Heecher
sounds I yet? “Head what 1” she exclaim
ed, suddenly ceasing to scream. “The
! Hieoher-Tiltim matter," l.e continued,
I “this ’ere thing what everybody is talking
i about.” “No; where ia it?” she asked,
and lie passed in the paper, telling her
that if she would be good lie'd bunt up
the rest of the statement in another paper;
: and from that moment until daylight the
| woman never uttered a word, except ouce
when she asked if there worn t seven or
eight more papers with statements in.

How They Waltz.
A Put-in-Ttny correspondent of the Cin
! eiuimti Times furnishes the following
i lively description of the style in which
| girls from different Stab's and localities
waltz, as shown by the hop* of that
pleasant resort:
People may say that a waltz is a waltz,
but it is a mistake; as much as to say tlmt
a dog is a dog, for there are dogs and dogs,
and I here are waltzes and waltzes. With
! one person it ia the poetry of motion, with
1 another it is about as awkward a perform -
! Slice as putting yourself upon a level and
going through the motion of running up
I stairs would be. A Kentucky girl is a
i natural waltzer, and she does it with a
charming chic and abandon. An Ohio
girl’s waltzing is easy, graceful and “melo
dious.” If she happens to eonie from
Cincinnati, and across the Rhine, she
swings dreamily round and round in theend
less "Dutch waltz.” If slio comes from Chi
cago, she throws her hair back, jumps up
and crack* her heels,together, aud carries
ott' her astonished partner as though a
simoon hud struck him, nud knocks over
all intervening obstacles in her mad career
j around the room. If she is from Indiana,
: she creeps closely mid timidly up to her
; partner, us though she would like to gut
into liis vest pocket, and melts away with
i ecstaey us tho witching strains of the
"Blue Danube” sweep through the hall.
| If she is flour Missouri, she crooks her
1 laxly in the middle like a door hinge,
takes her partner by tho shoulders aud
makes liim miserable iu trying to hop
around her without treading on her No. tt
shoes. If she comes from Michigau, she
astonishes her partner by now aud then
working in a touch of the double shuffle, or
a bit of pigion wing, with the wait7.step.
Aud if shs comes from Arkansas, she
throws both arms around his neck, rolls
up her eyes as she floats away, and is
heard to murmur:- "Oh, hug mo John.”
- ——
An Old Rat.—The following rat story
comes from Massachusetts: After a
j shower, a few duys since, a number of
ruts were sesti to go down the roof of the
j old Covve A Hathaway Hotel, West Brook
t field, to the eaves trough to drink. A
| party watching their movements counted
; twenty-one, and among them an old rat
' with five young onea, approach the spout,
i1 he old mother holding a straw in her
; mouth, anil the five httle ones each hold
! iug tire straw, and beiisg hal iu this man
ner to the edge and placed" hi a row. The
old one took the first one, winding her tail
around it. letting it down" to tlie water,
aud then placing it to the right of the row
of the rats. Then she took the one at the
left, olid, lettiHg it down to drhik. placed
it at the right again, and so' OB’with She
whole; after which they all took hold of
the straw, and tho mother, with the straw
in her mouth, led tlie iu back to their hole.
Love anij Luck. —Marrying for love is
not always unlucky, or indiscreet, either.
When Marshal liuzaine was in Mexico,
and at the bight of hia fume, he fell in
love with the beautiful and gentle, hut
penniless Kenorita I’euay Puna, whose only
possessions were her own eharmea and
virtues, aud a historic hereditament that
had descended from her grandfather, for
mer President of the Republic. At the
time of the marriage, the young lady was
deemed to have made a great catch 1 in a
husband so wealthy und famous. But in 1
the general chapter of the vicissitudes,
time brihgs some changes, as it bus done
in this cuhm. Misfortmfe Checkered the
career of the whilom condescending lover,
ami penury and degradation followed
affluence and dignity. The affairs of the
loving pair were at their lowest ebb; but
just at this juncture—so the genius of
romance fixed it, to give an orthodox j
denouncement to this love story in actual 1
life—the aunt of Muilamc liuzaine dies 1
mill bequeaths to her untold wealth; und
now the orewhile dejected wife of the!
fallen Marshall may again lift her head
among the proudest. Such ia life.
Fatalism Im-istkatko.—A hordshi 11
Baptist minister, living somewhereon the j
frontiers of Missouri wus iu the habit of ,
saying to his family und to his church: j
Friends, yon need not take any nnnsnal :
care obout your lives; the moment of your 1
death was writ before the foundation of;
the world, ami yon can not niter it
His wife observed when he left on Hat
nrday to meet one of his frontier mission- 1
ary that ho dressed the flint
of hia rifle wiwf*nuiisnsl care, put iu dry
powder, fresh tow, and took every pain to
make sure tlmt the gun wonld go off in
case he came upon an Indian.
It struck her one dav aa ahe saw him in
! the saddle, with hi* rifle on his shoulder,
I Hint bis conduct contradicted hi* teachings
| and she said to him, “My dear, why do
| you take this rifle with yon ? If it was
l writ before tlie foundation of tho world
J that you were to be killed during this trip
by an Indian, that rifle won’t prevent it;
; and if yon are killed of course the rifle is
iimiccokaurv; so why take it with you at
ull ?”
Too Often True.
Some" in on take too mneli money out of
their buHincM to expend in household ex
penses ami lavish pi-plnv, and speedily
bring themselves to the verge of bank
ruptcy, One eld gentleman, who had
CiuiVnieneed life a* a poor boy had, by
mastering Hie difficult steps to final suc
cess, gained considerable wealth as a mer
chant. When lie arrived at old age he
retired to private life, to live in ease and
comfort on his income, leaving a prosper
ous business in the hands Of hi* son.
In three years the young man was
bankrupt, lie hod fallen in business nml
wits compelled lo take a position as clerk
in a stranger’s store.
His father was asked why was it that, in
a business in which he hml succeeded so
well, hia son had failed.
He gave this characteristic answer:
“When I first commenced brsiuess my
wife and I lived on porridge. As my bus
iness increased we had bettor fi.<vt*; and,
when I eould afford it, we hud chicken,
lint, vim see, Johnny commenced with the
chicken first!"
A Suii’iuk Mam* S< If- Instruction
seems to lx- on the increase, and the inn '
nia develops different forms of death dai
ly. While frenzied with liquor, yesterday
afternoon, a wealthy man, utlvuucid in
years, shot himself in the head, after
shooting liis wife and a neighbor. The
morning’s record also gives a case of sui
cide by chloroform; and two eases, each
of self-destruction, by drowning nud by
the bullet, lint the strangest tragedy
of all waa the fate of a woman who threw
herself under the wheels of a locomotive,
in imitation of a gentleman who hml
made hi* exit from the world in the same
manner n few days ago. Two of the six
victims were women, nml four of the
crazed unfortunates were brought to de
struction by a love tor stroug drink.
Temporary insanity was no doubt the im
pelling cause for the desire for death.
No person in liis or her right mind will
take the dread leap in the dark. Aud tlie
excitement of our feverish modern life has
much to do .vitll the recklessness that
leaves so fearful n swath of death.— N. V.
