T. WILSON. fiééollecfions of Water 100. (From the C'ornhill Magaziec.) I well remember the morning of the 15th. The heavy rain during the night had chilled the air, the dark clouds overhead cast a gloom upon the field, and altogether the morning was unusually cheerless for the month ofJune. But I per- ceived on reflection of that gloom upon the faces of our men, and as column after column of the French came in sight they maintained the the same undaunted aspect. For my own part I felt anxiousâ€"but not wholly on my own account. i had been pretty well seasoned to to the smell of powder on the east- ern coast of Spain; but I had a brother, quite a young fellow, who; had never worn a red coat until two days before. This youth being appointed to my corps, I had smuggled away tojointhe regiment in place of the depot. I did it withâ€" out leave, and the act was a rash one ; but I thought it might be the making of him if he could see a ,little see a little service. I now 1deplored my rashness. The lad appeared so unnerved that l ieared he might disgrace himself, and bring ruin upon me too. If he ran off the field, what would follow”! Ishuddercd at the thought. He lwould be stigmatised for life as a 1coward and a deserter, while I should be tried by court-martial, and perhaps dismissed the service ‘for a breach of discipline I had . committed. Inspribcd to {he Del-3'5! Wgst Yolunteers ‘ O , B, this is fearful l’ said my hopei‘ul protege, as the shots began ‘ to tell. ‘ Did vou see poor 1 fall? And there's killed! And 1 don’t see , he must be gone too! We shall all soon be knocked over at this rate!’ I called the ser- geant of my company (poor fellow he was numbered with the dead ere nightfall). Sergeant said 1 you see my brother; he is quite a boy unused te service. I intrust him to you; don’t let him out of your sight a moment during the day. 11' l should fall and he sur- vives me hand over my watch and purse to him; but mind and keep your eye upon him. As it drew towards mid-day the heat became oppressive. and 1t was truly painful to watch our brave troops bearing against it un- der the ponderous accoutrements to those days. But none succumbed to the heat, and our gallant fellows handled Brown Bess (a weapon that weighed fourteen pounds) with as good a will as the lucky chaps1 ‘of the present day do the Enfieldl * or Whitworth. ‘ ' BY A SURTIVING VE’MRAN.

It was not our exposure to the fire of the musketry or grape 'shot that induced this longing to prod the enemy; but it was the charges of the cavalry, which provoked ‘this feeling. Again and again came up the cuirassers, but it was no go.~â€"The horse liked not those lshining bayonets, and the bayonets ‘never flinched; so with bitter im- precations they we"e compelled to turn tail. Many a brave cuirassier was brought to the ground while retracing his steps. Our men hav- ing orders'to fire at the horses as l they retreated. rllwasjust after one of these charges, during a few minutes res- pite, that I looked around to see who has gone, or rather who was left, when to my dismay I could nowhere discern my brother. Where was Ihe sergeant under whose chargel had placed him! He was down, they told me. And my brother! He has left the field. Lora the 'field! I exclaimed in .5 It‘s all right, replied a brother officer; he was wounded â€"-â€"nol badly; sea, here is his Moth-er officer; he was wounded --nol badly ; sea, here is his shako. And sure enough, on ex- amining the shake, 1 found it 10 be his ; a bail had smashed the peak aad damaged Ihe fljont; moreover the inside was stained with blood. It may seem strange, but the siglltol that blood afforded me in- tense reliel, especially when I heard that the wound was no ways dangerous. The apprehension and reproach under which I had been laboring since the dawn all left me, and I commenced congratulating myself upon my own termeritv, and lo lrame congratulations for my brother if! should live to meet him. To us it seemed the day was going dead against us. To be sure} We could but see a section of the field ; but if \hat presented a sampte of the fight, there was but one ‘conclusion to arrive at, that we were outnumbered and overpower- ed by the qnemy. But the day was Wearing away. In a few hours the sun would set and ifthe victory were denied us, there was comfort in the thought that darkness would at any rate, for a space terminate the Combat. â€"â€"-Doubt and speculation prevailed amongst us ; the night’s Champaign was, indeed, beginning to be dis- cussed, when a staff officer was discried galloping towards us. He was evidentally the bearer of a very important communication. What was it? That the army Was routed? That immediate retreat was ordered? Listen. The body of the French army was in full re- treatâ€"we were to follow up the enemy. It would take an abler pen than I mine to convey a notion of the ef-l feet of the intelligence produced.â€" The enthusiasm of our men sought vent in shouts, and with all speed we commenced carrying out the welcome order. Shots of all sorts and sizes were still flying aboutus, and in quitting the ground where‘ we had paSSed so many Weary hours,l received a woundin the knee ; a rascally rifle ball had lodged and stuck fast bctWeen the small bones, putting me completely hors de combat. ' This Was really to bad, being disabled just as the fun was commencing; but it was in vain to grumble, and truly glad ‘was I to be lifted on theback of a stray horse which they caught and, brought me. Declining any escort, I set out alone, telling my como- rades I should make mv way alone to the rear, it not to Brussels. I soon, however, became aware of my error ; for when out of reach of help, the poor brute that carried me staggered and fell, having, I conclude, received some wound which no doubt had escaped de- tcclion. with us than Papular Opinion? my sword, but it went down be- neath my weight, and I resolved, it I could, to change it for one that would better support me.

As I glanced at “his coun- tenanceflt seemed quite Calm, and beyond the palor on the cheeks, there was little in the features to characteriZe his present slumber as the sleep of death, or to indicate agony. ‘No feeling of solicitude was it which brought me to the side of this poor lellowfi I was attracted by the sword, a cavalry one, with a steel scabbardâ€"the very thing I wanted. To this i thought to help myself, and with what stiength 1 could summon, I proceeded to detach the coveted ; sabre. While so engaged it seemed to me that the body moved. Surely it was a fancy. But the head had moved; and conceive my horror when the eyes I had supposed fast closed in death, opened freely and met mine. My fingers instinctive- ly let go their hold. Unnerved and ashamed l stammered out .an apolo- gy. ‘ Mille pardonsâ€"malâ€"bcsse â€"-ne desires que I’ve,’ when the ‘Frenchmah, with that native polite- ness which not even approaching death could restrain, tried to smtle and gasped just audibly. ‘ De grace, monsieur‘, prenez lout !’ ‘ His all-was at my service. No tur- ther use had he for sword or aught else now. His accoutrements were an evident encumberance to him so] eased his stock, unbotten- ed his coat, and un’hGok'ed his waist belt. He seemed relieved, and so l was taking leave of him, he asked whether I could give him athhing to drink. Luckily I had a flask of brandy. So raising his head I put it to his lips. He then closed his eyes and muttered something I could not catch, while I gently re- placed his head on the drearypillow. I then rose, feeling much saddened by this affecting incident, and stole one last look at the expiring soldier; the lips were still in motion. though whether with the words of prayer or mere gratitude to me, _i could not tell. Leaning on the Frenchman‘sl sword, I began once more to creep towards the rear ; but faint and exâ€" hausted, I snon broke down In the attempt, and as I lay down upont the tall rye grass, I began to think‘ my end was drawing near. I may ‘ have lain thus half an hour, when ll heard the tramp of cavalry ap-l proaching the spot where I lay hid-l den in the herbage. Was I then to be trodden to death? The thought was horrible. 0n and on they came. It must soon be all over with me. I resolved. sooner than submit to such a death, to make one more effort. Accordingly, I took of my cap, and placing it on the point of my sWord, waved it to and fro as best 1 could. Providen- tiallythe waving of the cap attracted attention. The gallant fellows (it was a squadron of the (lragoons) tmade wey lor me, and genth rais- ling me on the back of one of their horses, Consignetl me to the care of two troopers, who conveyed me safely to the rear. It was late in the afternoon on the following day before the cart load of wounded, of whom 1 formed one reached Brussels.

By the way 01 blood money government paid me down £500. This I handed over' to my agent. but he, poor man, got into difficul- ties, cut his throat. and I lost all.

When I am in health. and have the full enjoyment of all my faculties, and when the sun shines and all nature is beautiful around me, then I am good. [can- not say my heart is touched the same by altliction and gloom. it is not, then, in a spiritual way that l profit by illness, but simply because it enables me to throw off my clothes and put my mind to .rest with my body. To descend to some commonplace particulars in illustration of the pleasures 01" ill- ness, I will mention. first of all, the delight of being able to think with- out a purpose. When I am Well all my thinking must take a practic- al direction. 1 have no time to in- .dulge in loose fancy. Whatever thoughts may enter my head. l must mould and shape them for use.

AN EXTRAORDINARY TREE.â€"â€"-A remarkable tree was brought to New York in the month of January 1866, from a Western State.
