This (the most important quality of a general) Napoleon and Wellington possessed extensively ;and when Ihe fate of battle hung upon a liair, both were calm and self-collected, uid the order, upon which victory or defeat depended, was issued with a coolness that approached insensibility. The terrible attack at ' Essling was simply indicated by a gesture ; and when tidings were brought upon that bloody evening which might have palsied the firmest nerves, not a fea ture of Napolean was seen to alter. Sitting on the embankment of a field- work, undisturbed by the', roar of his own artillery, or a responding thun der from the batteries of the fortress, Lord Wellington penned the plan ot the assault; and when that writing approaching decay.

It bids those of us who have not yet entered the "sear and yellow leaf? of life to prepare ourselves for .that period, to husband our resources for it,' as the farmer does his harvest gathering, that we may look back on life's sum mer with a quiet glow of satisfaction, such as an autumnal , evening's sun impartsto a landscape.

By this strange procedure they want, at best, to decide whether a tract of land to which none of them have any claim, shall belong to a cer tain man whom they call Sultan, or to another whom they call Czar; neither of whom ever saw, or will see. the spot so furiously contended for; and very few of those creatures who thus mutually butcher each other, ever be held the animal for whom they cut eacn other's throats !
