The plumage of both aexsa ia very similar, a rich ferrugineous light-brown on the back, getting rather brighter at the tail, while the general tone of the under parta is a hght silvery gray.

Tbo eggs sre about the aiae of those of the hedge-sparrow, but rather longer, being more oval in form.

Then he would lay his offerings on the grass bordering the open place in tho centre of the wood, and the old mad Graf would parley with him from a distance, through the window, asking who was dead, and who dying, and expressing a fear that bordered on childishness, of the hearer approach of. bis old retainer. The wood was called Leonoren Wald, Hilda told me, because the beautiful Leonore von Lauenbruck, ptraymg through its sylvan glades, bad met a young painter, who wandering with his knapsack -on his back across the country, had hero stopped to take a sketch of some pretty view toward tho sea.

The great surgeon, John Hcnteh, who loft nothing uninvestigated within the widest range then known to his professional pursuits, accotntod for the extraordinary power of the mgthinrale's song by the size and strength of the musdes of the throat, which he found to be much more extensively developed than in any other siiging bird and this unusual development of tin organs of the throat may account for the traditions of talking nightingale.

The earliest French fool on record seems to have been one named Jkax, at the Court of CHARLES tho fcimole, of whom Dr. telis us some auecdotet.

One of the best examples of this kind of mv-looked-ior sagacity occurs in a story in lis he lain, where a cook socking to charge porter for atrng a crust of bread to the accompaniment of the savour that came from bis kitchen, the die-pate is referred to poor tool who is p-ssing, and who, after gravely hear-ng the paruee, uo-cided that the cook should be paid for the rnmetl of bis with the chink of the porter's money. AsxA JirUish EetttsK. Japajckss Paacxfpi, Japanese porcelain is extremely various, and, like the lacquer work, much less perfect now than ia fanner epochs, The white and bine ware would seldom, if ever, be found to equal the nobler specimens from the Imperial manufactory such aa the atx-markera or fonr-cxarkera which Ulna- irate the period frost about the middle of the fifteenth to that of the eighteenth century.

Bnt even the ordinary Japanese china of the present day presents endless artiatio attractions and bants It may mostly be distinguished from the "nintjA by its robust precision of lines. One piece will show a group of storks sxnlting amid mid the waves ia glowing red- aad rayrmr cat his gilded beams. Another piece wiu have quaintly designed decorative circles scattered over its sortaos, some in gilt contours, some in blue. One of these farcies is the figure of a swnoptng stork another of a tortoise drawing a kmg wake of water another of larch-foliage another of key-like geometric lines. Or one nandles damtdy the daintiest ol manufacture! a xnmietare cap of egg-shell china, with ended design (say of a kingfisher on a spray of river grass, his long beak cutting acainst tne circle of the moon him) the china lug tnckieed in a wondrous network of cane or young bamboo of the finest mehes, and to perfectly aliuted to the form of the porcelain that one fclniost refuses to believe the whole can be an actual combination of two so diverse maieTUtkf.

I have a very vmd re-coQcclion of the charge of tho French cavalry.

Those who advanced on the-nght square of tho Fifty-second crircssicrs, Lavng not only a steel breastplate but the same covering for. the back. Aa I observed before, the pleasing part of the charge was that, for several minutes, perhaps ten, we were relieved from the cannonade which the French ifkd kept np upon ua, except when their cavalry charged. They camo on in very gallant Btyhi, ana in very steady order, first of all at the trot, then at a g.vllop, -td! they wyre within forty or fifty yanla of the front face of tho square, when one or two horses having been brought down, in clearing the obstacle they got a somewhat new direction, which carried them to either Hank of the lace of the square, which direction they one and all preferred to the charging home and riding on to our bayonets. Notwithstanding their armour, many of the men wore laid low, many horses also were brought down, and the men had a difficulty in disentangling themse ves from them.

The cuirassiers parsed tho square, receiving the lire ot all tho four faces, aud proceeded up to the crest of the British position. Thev then re-, formed, and camo down the slope aain upon us in the same way, aud again avoiding to charge home upon the rear face ot the square, as they could scarcely hope to penetrate the Bquares; possibly it wan a reconiiisauce ordered to bo mado bv the Emperor, who bad no other means of ascertaining what lorco the Duke oi cuing-ton had at that time on Uie reverse slope of tne posit on.
