At four o’clock our squares were a perfect hospital, being full of dead, dying and mutilated soldiers. The charges of cavalry were, in appearance, very formidable, but in reality a 'great relief, as the artillery could 'no longer fire on us; the fiery earth shook under lheenormous mass of men and horses. I shall never for- getthe strange noise our bullets made against the breast-plates of Mellman's and Milhaud’s cuiras- siers, six or seventhousand in num- ber, who attacked us with great fury. Ican only compare it. with a some what homely simile, to the noise ofa violent hailstorm beating upon panes of glass. The artillery did great execution, but our mus- ketry did not at first seem to kill many men thotigli itbrought down la great number of horses, and cre- , lated indescribable confusion. The horses of the first rank“ of cuiras- siers, in sp‘ite'of' all‘thc eflbrtskd their riders, came to a standstill, shaking and covered with foam, at about twenty yards distance from our squares, and generally resisted all attempts to force them to chagre the line of serried steel. On one occasion two gallant French oHi- cers forced their “HIV into a gap momentarily created by a discharge of artillery ; one Was killed by Sta- ples. the other by Adair.‘ Nothing could be more gallant than the be- haviour of. those veterns, many of whom had distinguished» them- selves on half the battlefields of Europe. In the midst of our ter- rible fire their officers were seen as it on parade, keeping order in their ranks, and encouraging them. Un- able to renew the charge, but un- willing to retreat, they brandished their swords with loud cries of‘Vive l’Empereurl’ and allowed them- selves to be mowed down by hunt ‘dreds rather than yield. Our men ‘ who shot them down could not, help admiring the gallant bearing and heroic resignation of their en-‘ emies.â€"-R ecollectiOn and Anecdotes. , The Squares at Waterloo.

RICHMOND HILL, F RIDAY, AUGUST 25, [865 “'Let Sound Reasbn Weigh More One very important peculiarity to be observed in a dog about to be- ‘ come rabid is the change of voice he undergoes. lnsteadlof consist- ing of a succession of sounds equal in intensity and duration, his bark becomes hoarse and stifled, and is in a lower key than usual. To a full-voiced bark succeed a series of howls from the bottom ofthe throat, each less loud than the preceding. during the emission of which the dog stands with his mouth partially open. Another very remarkable fact is, that the rabid dog appears to lose. the power ofexpressin'g pain. No matter what is done to himâ€"if he be kicked, pinched, pricked, beaten, or even burned, he never gives vent either to the growl or the sharp cry with which a healthy dog expresses anguish, although his efforts to escape and his change of countenance are stiflieent prool that he is not insensible to suffering. It is generally supposed that a mad dog alwavs foams at the mouth.‘ This is an error, for although in the ‘ most cases the throat and mouth of ‘the animal are filled with foam, in‘ some they become. completely dry. l â€"Shilling: Magazine. , honor sullied, by allowing it to .be' ‘ went on deck; andwhile the rest Capt.

Locking himself in, he opened the magazine door, and took his seat with a pistol in hand ‘ Now send those fellow.s who- call themselves delegates, and any others who like to accompany them down here,’ said he to the gunner. who hurried off in no very happy state of mind. The instigators of the proposed mutiny, and others of the ship‘s company, quickly assem- _ bled outside the magazine door. 1 inside sat the captain, looking stern and grim, with his finger on the trigger of his pistol~the muzzle turned towards the casks of pow- der.

Woman. is hard is to admit that you have not. the neccessary qualities to en- sure success. The whole art of makingalbrtune, which We will take to mean a retiring competency, consists in this power to imprison a given part of your earnings away from the fields of business specu- lation. The theory of ‘ nothing venture, nothing have,’ Whlcll might Well be taken as the motto of modern traders, is equally as false as it is specious; for though it seems to say that if you make no venture you can expect no return, it really says, or is taken by most to mean, that if you do not ,venture all, you cannot expect any. Let us not be misunder- stood. We are greatly in favour of legitimate speculation of a l sorts ; but we consider that kind to be criminal which is not, legiti- mate ; we think business expenses should be so arranged that it should not be in the power of any single speculation to entail even the pros- pect of bankruptcy. Another means to the end of’ acquiring a fortune is{ to haVe a fondness for the business in which you are engaged, and a pride in its success, independently of the money return.

If this position be but ad- mitted, the rest is plain sailing; for we hold that there is but one means ofmakinq a fortune in trade, and that is by determined and sys- tematic saving, There is now living a wealthy merchant con- nected with the grocery trade whose property was amassed on this foundation. Whenever he made one pound profit he put away two shillings in a perfectly safe inâ€" vestment, whilst on the remain- ing eighteen shillings he lived and traded. If a man enters business and the profits of his first year‘s trading do but anount to seventy pounds, he should make his person- al expenses ten pounds less than that sum. To say it is impossible to do this is ridlculous. To say it “ thoroughly furnished to yevery good word and work.” Wherever there is ignorance, it is her duty to aim to remove it; wherever there is suffering, it is her privilege to alleviate ll; wherever there is im- purity, it is her prerogative to des~ troy 1t.

I “v_ “iv-Horus: A broad plain of red mud stretch- ingto the horizon was suddenly streaked with silver lines, and then the ‘ bore,’ a foot high, came 'rus'hb ing up the narrow lanes of'water. It: came slowly, roaring hoarsly, and the broad tide spread behind it. In half an hour the broad plain was covered by a wide red torrent, whirling like a mill sluce, boiling, eddying, and SWeeping everything that would float before it. Fro‘m' the water’s edge the Sea looked like a steep mound of water, a. furious rapid,~ pouring down from the horizon. By three p.m. the tide was up to the edge of the wharfs, and the muddy water had cleared in. the centre. Boats came creeping out of odd corners, and the, scarf was forty feet deep over the plain of mud. According to the sailing. directions, the tides in the Bay of Fundy seem to result from the cramming ofthe tidal wave into a. narrow wedgelike opening. In the Bay of Mines the water sometimes rises 75 feet, while the tide in the Gnlph of St. Lawrence, beyond the narrow isthmus, sixteen miles wide. rises eight feet. At Windsor, where the tide has to turn round a. point it rises forty feet. In the wid-' er part of the bay it rises thirty feet- only. In some parts of the bay are dangerous Whirlpools, where the stream runs nine knots. The bot- tom seems to be composed of the debris of the soft rocks, and it seems highly probable that the sea will break through, and make an island I of Nova Scotia, unless the land rises. About high water mark the shm'c is strewed with very large boulders of coarse granite, and numerous other stones foreign to this district. It is evident that this creek is growmg larger by the wearing of its banks. They are undermined at high water mark.
