They fought bravely, but, ignorant of the effect ofgrape, shell, and case-shot, they were mowed down like grass before the scythe. On each of the slain was found a small pouch, containing almoat invariably six dollars. Lieutenant Otlchterlony, in his account ofthe operations, says : “ An eye-witness has given an anec- dole characteristic ofthe scene in the following Words :--‘As I was pick- ing my way clear of the reeking mass which obstructed the street, the men, as they passed on, were snatch- ing from the dead the little purses in which the discovery of the dollars had made; and as I stetped by one ofthem, a son ofthe Emerald Isle, who was examining the contents of one he hadjust appropriated from the girdle of a soldier, whose temples had been literally crushed in by a shot, I heard him say, ‘ Bad luck to ye lye’ve been an’ spint one of ’em; here’s only five.’ ” a AN INCIDENT IN THE CHINESE Wan. —An officer has recorded that in crown- ing the right ofthe enemy’s position the troops mingled with the Chinese, and passed through some lines of tents on the summit of the bill as they drove them out of their inlrenchment. In his pro- gress he was arrested by the groans of a wounded man, who was stretched on a couch ill the cornerofa tent; he gave the poor wretch, who had the button of a mandarin, some water, or performed some kindly ofliceto him which huma- nity dictated, atltl the man, catching him by the arm as he was leaving the tent, pointed eagerly to a heap of clothes near him,and made signs that he should lift them up. He did so in the expectation that he should find beneath them some - victim ofthe fray, butto his surprise his eyes fell upon a glittering heap of sycee silver ,‘he looked to the mandarin for ex- planation, when he gesticulated earnestly that he should take it,wbich be according- ly did, and. assembling the men at his company .who were with him, shared the prize among them on the spot. They did what they could for the wounded man. all hurried on to overtake the column, Vhen the fight was over, the ofiicer went back with a few men to look after the grateful sufl'erer, when he found the tent consumed, and the mandarin scorched and blackened, and quite death—Ouch- tcrlony’a chconnt of the Chinese War. Minna? Anacoo'ra.-Lieut.-Co- lonel Brown commanded the Q8th at Barossa. He was said to have pur- posely allowed his regiment to be surrounded. Most officers would have felt nervous in such a situation; but it was reported that Brown ad- dressed his men thus :—“ Twenty- eighth, what confotlnderlly lucky fel- lows I This day you must be either extinguished or distinguished ! Do as you like I” The 28th took their colonel at his word ; the rear rank faced to the right about, and repulsed the enemy. And now the 28th wear the number ofthe regiment both in front and back of their chakos. Paorsa Sass: or SHAML—A man seeingn physician at a distance, who had some years before attended him do- ring a dangerous illness, turned aside and avoided meeting him. Being asked his reason, he said. “ I am ashamed to meet him, because it is so long since I have been ill I” To use kind language costs nothing at oftentimesmore to him who employs it than eyen those to whom it is atldt‘essml. But every man is bound to anticipate that unkind language will produce the fruits of unkindness, that is, suffering in the bosom of others. Several ancient surgical instruments have lately been dug up at Pompeii which bear a strong resemblance to those used for lithotomy in the present season. 'I‘o Weep for fear is childish; to weep for anger is womunish ; to weep for grief is human; to weep for compassion is divine ‘;~but to weep for sin is christian.
