Sir Mark asms* of a fightiug nock. H i* father was a notable soldier in in* Paninaular war under the great Wellington. Curium to think of tbe ingredient* which make up numan nature ! Tbe French and Euglub were wont to meet at the marzina of tbe trcaro* aa they were getting ready for the battle and it wssthsirwont toiinnk from tbe aame nver.chat aoroaa plaaaauUy, tmok* ihsir pipee in peace and amity, and then at tbe blaat of the bugle, rub for their weapon*, and blow tbe 'eouU out of one another,' aa Carlyls pnte it. And Sir Mark himself think* tbe Rue isns were fin* fellow*. During tbe ihort truce* which were allowed for the burying of the dead, tbe English and tbe Russians were wont to fraternise. Then men bad BO quarrel with one another. They had not made the war. " We did net know what the war meant," wa* the way Sir Mark pat it, " All we knew we* t&tt we were aent to the Cri-nee to tight, and fight we did.' Yea, the eneouee talked to one another the people be remember* would fill a vol- ume. For meieitce, be remember* tbe l>uke of Cambridge at the Crimea very .wsii, and has a good word tor him.

And then there wa* Mr. Rue* all, the man who stirred the heart of Boglapd by hi* letters home, exposing the mumaa *L'niDt of men and stores at the Crimea. He ha* a vivid recollection of him.

And that u about th* truth, said Sir Mark, smiling. Sir Mark ha* the nouon that war will be rendered almost impossible by th* ter- ribly deitructive character of. modern weapon*.

Ths men, thus sudden y heart- ened, charged with a mighty shout, and th* tn*my was routed.
