THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE. A survivor of the celebrated ride into the juwes of death gives inthe Boston Commercil Bulletin the fol~ lowing graphic picture of the charge: 'Lord Cardigan's oyo glanced us over; then spurring his horse forward a few paces ho said : 'My men we have received orders to silence that battery.' 'My G--d !" my brother cjaculat- ed. Then grasping my hand he suid : 'Fred, my dear fellow, good-by ; we don't know what may happen God bless you, keep close to me--' What more ho might have said was lost in Lord Curdigan's ringing shout of -- ¢ Charge I' INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH. We went in at a trot, tho trot changed to a canter, and the canter to a galop. Through the lines I could seo Lord Cardigan soveral horse lengths ahead riding as steadily as it ho wero on parade.-- Now to tell the plain truth, when we had ridden a short distance, say one htindred paces, I folt terribly afraid. The truth flashed upon mein a moment that we were riding into & position that would expose us to fire on both flanks, as well as the fire from the battery in front of us, which we had been instructed to silence. Isaid to myself, 'This is the ride to death I' but I said it loud enough for my brother to hear, and he answescd and said : 'There goes tho first |' 'The first was Lord Lucan's aido~ de-camp, Capt. Molan, who after making a slight detour, was croas- ing our left to join us in the charge. A cunnon ball had just cut him in two as my brother spoke. 'My heart leaped into my moath and I almost shrieked with tear, but I restrained myself and setting my teeth hard I rode on. A moment later the rifle bullets from the sharp shooters oun the hillside began to whistle about our ears. Saddles were emptied at evey step. Then came the Ywhistling shot and then tho shrieking shells tore through our squadrons, mingling men and horses, ploughing bloody furrows through and through our ranks.-- Then my fear left me. My whole soul became filled with a thirst for revenge, and I believe the same spirt animated every man in the ranks.-- Theirfoyes flashed and they; ground their tetth and pressed closer to gether. The very horsos caught the mad spirit and plunged for- ward as if impatient tolead us to our revenge and theirs. At this time there was not much to be seen. A heavy dense smoke hung over the valley, but the flaming;mouth of the guns rovealed them to our eyes at every moment as they bolched forth their murderous contents of shot and shell. ¢Now a shot tore through our ranks cutting a red line from flank to flank, then a shell plowed an oblique and bloody furrow from our right front to our left rear, anon a hetting shot rose over our £ W.BURNHAM, Clerk of the Third Divi- Tho LR J « sion Court.

His horse was headed for Silently we followed him, Up to this time neither my brother nor myself bad received tho slightest scratch, al- though wo were now riding side by side with comrades who at the start were separated from us by several files. We reached tho battery at last. Up to this time we had ridden in silence, but what a yell burst from us as we plunged in among the Russian gunner! Well would it have been for them if they bad killed us all before we reached them. They had done too little and too much. They had set us ou fire with passion. Only blood could quench our thirst for revenge. We passed through tho battery like a whirlwind, sabering the gunners in our passage. I don't believe one of them lived to tell the tale of that ride. Out of tho battery and into the brigade--an army it was of cavalry. Our charge was resistless. The Russians fell before our sabers as corn before the reaper. They seemed to have no power of resist-- ance. And there was no lick of material to work upon. They clos. ed in upon us and surrounded us on every side, but we hewed our way through them as men how their way through a virgin forest, and only stopped when we reached the bank of tho Tchermaya river. BLOODY REMINISCENSES. 'Wheeling here we proceeded to cut our way back again. On the return ride I was assailed by a gigantic Russian trooper, who made a stroke at me with his sabre. I partially guarded it, but not wholly, and the next mohent felt'a stinging pain in my peck. It passed in a moment, however, and I was about to make short work of the trooper when,I heard my brother cry : 'Ah! you would, would you?" and the Russian fell cleft to the chin. 'We cut our way through and once more entered tho fatal valley. When half way back to our starting point, a cannon ball struck my brother and beheaded him. Tom, uh, thank you!' "Tho color-sergeant drained an- other glass. 'When we formed up on arriving at our starting point Lord Cardigan with the tears streaming from his eyes, said; 'It was not my fanlt my men.' And the men replied in one voice: 'We are ready to go in again, my Lord, if you will lead us.' Just then I became dizzy. My scalp had been lifted by the stroke of the Russian's sabre, tho skin of my cheek cleft across to my upper lip, and I fainted from want of blood. 'When my time expired in tho cavalry I ro-enlisted in this vegi- ment. I am always proud to hear myself called one of the six hundred, but--poor Jack, fill that glass again, Tom. Thus ended the sorgeant's story of this famous charge. Happy Thoughts. Necessity does tho work of cour- ago. A thousand parties of pleasure do not leave a reeollection worth that one good action. Ambition often playes the wrest- lers trick of raising a man up merely to fling him down, A mother dreads no momories-- those shadowes have all melted away in the dawn of a baby's smile. In the man or woman whose childhood has known taresses there is alays a fibre of memory that can be touched to gentle issues. | Smiles are to life what tho sparkle is to wine, or scintillations to the diamond intensifying its boauty and the rainbow. Fow nights are so dark that no stars are ta be spen ; the thing is to look out and keep ane's eye on them, and make the most of what light can be discovered. The goldon moments in the stream of life rush past us, and wo see noth. ing but sand; the angels come to visit us and we only know them when they are gone. By love's delightful influence all the injuries of tho world are alien~ ated, the bitter cup of affliction is sweetness and fragrant flowors are strewed along the most thorny path of life. Generous and noble emotions, vivid feelings and active exercises in tho pursuit of some noble object | rarely fail to give grace 'to the beauty itself ta the face. like the spring, aglow with promise; ripened on tho field, movements and a rarer charm than Qur loves should be like days more beaatiful in the evening; or or liks the autum, rich with golden sheaves; when good works have | WHOLE NO. 112 ¢ -- Why She Wept. Old Nancy had been telling Bijah that she give the court as good 'sass' as be sent, and that he might give ber six months and be hanged to him. She walked out with an ugly look in her eyes and her teeth shut, and was impatient for the affray to begin. 'Years and years ago,' began his Honor, talkipg as if to himself, 'I used to pass a white house on Second street. It was 80 white and clean, its green blinds contrasted so prot- tily that I used to stand on the walk and wonder if the inmates were not the happiest people in Detroit. They wero happy. They had plenty.-- They had children who played games on the green grass, and the birds sang all day long in the ar- bors.' Old Nancy looked around uneasily as he waited for a moment. 'As the years wont by the white house turned brown with neglect.-- The birds went away, The child- ren died or grew up ragged of un- civil, I well remember the day the husband and fatber puta pistol to his head and enced his sh and Never bet unless you have a counterfeit 5 bill which it is impossible to palm off ever on a near-sighted conductor by lamp-light, Boware of little things, A coat collar with a single hair on it will cause more Senile thon a tes dollar switch anywhere else, A French widow was bemoaning the ol of her husband, ¢I have at least one con-- solation,' she sobbed out, ¢ I know where he spends his nights now,' i An exchange says women never think, 3 Perhaps the man who penned that statement thinks those spring hats aud those bewitch~ ing spring suits planned themselves, Buf we don't believe it, { Toll me,' exclaims Dr, Mary Walker, * How would Venus have looked had she worn corsets I' Dear Mary, if she hadn'% worn anything else she would have looked ridiculous.

The wife was drank when the body was brought home by the crowd.' A low moan of pain escaped the old woman's lips, 'It wus her love for drink that killed that man--that buried--the children--that sent the birds away --that passed the placo to stranger's hands,' whispered the court, 'Is the woman dead ?' Old Nancy groaned as her tears fell. 'No, she lives. She has no home, no friends, no one to love her.-- There must be times when she looks back to plenty, peace and bappinpss and has such a heartache as few women know of. There must be times when she remembers the graves she once wept over, the children's voices must sometimes remind her of tho tones of those laid to rest long ago.- I would not be in her place for all the wealth inthe world.' 'Oh! sir! don't talk to mo--don't call it all up?' she moaned as she wrung her hands. 'You may go,' Le quiotly said, ¢ you have not long to live. There are those here who can remember when you had silks instead of rags --when you rode id your carriage instead of wandering through alleys and lying in the gutter. Some morning you will be found dead.-- That will be the last act of the drama so full of woe and misery and wretchedness that it will be a relief to know that you are dead.' White as a ghost, trembling in every limb, and weeping like a child she passed out. Bija's Hour. Edward Griffith, a man romark- able for the length of his neck and sharpness of his chin, and a stranger in the city, had no monoy to buy soda water, and so he sat down in an alley to coal off. The zephyrs blew over the ash barrels and old boxes to toy with his raven locks for a minute, and the sound of a woman licking a boy in the fourth story brought a feeling of drowsiness to the strapped stranger. He slept-- he dreamed--he awolo with a yell. Some one far above had espied him and given him ten quarts of water at a dose. Ten quarts of cold water down bebind a man's vest on a hot day will jump him over a six rail In this casp the viptim demanded revenge, and he might have secured it but for the arrival of an officer. 'Edward Griffith, where are you from ?' asked the court as the wot. backed prisoner was walked out. ¢ Calitorny,' was the reply. «What are you doing here 7' 'Qn a vacation.'
