Explosions will take place, bridges will be left open, and cars run off the track as usual.‘ It is well enough for the public and legislators to caution companies to "beware," an " take heed, ” yet these casualties will occur, which re- sult in severe contusions, broken limbs, burns, bruises. &o.

‘ A RUSSIAN BEIIIIIORIOE.

Uroii one of the coldest days of February 1853, I loll Paris by the rleans ailwey. he weather was extremely severe, the frozen snow lsy thick in the streets, the as belt of the boule- vsrds wgs slippery as glass, s edges scoured the Champs Elysees and Bois do Boulogne. An icy wind whlstlsd round the train as we quilted the shelter of the station, and I regretted, as I but- toned myself to the chin, and shrank into my corncr,t at the carriage was not full, instead of

_having but one occupant besides myself.

Opposite to me sit a halo man of sboutsixty- five, with a quick bright eye, an intelligent, good- bumoured cuuntsIiaiice—somewhst weather-beetr cn—nnd the red rosette of the Legion of Honour in his button-hols. During the first half-hour he [voted over a letter, whose contents, judging from

‘the animated expression of his physicgnomy, in- terested him strongly. He seemed scarcely aware of my presence. t lest he put up the

_bed, and was sensitive to the cold, and doubtless my pppearance was chilly and wocbegonc enough, for detected a slight approach to a smile at the corners of the stranger's mouth To one or two commonplace remarks he replied coutteously, but lsconicslly, like a man who is neither unsociable -nor averse to conversation, but who refers his own thoughts-to that held talk with w ich travel- lers sometimes wear each other rather than sit silent. So our dia oguo soon droppe . The cold increased, my feet were bcnum ed, and I stamped them on the floor of the carriage to revive the circulation. My companion ubserved niy_procsediogs with a comical look, as ' e thought me a very tender traveller.

“ This carriage _must be badly closed,’-’ I remarked. “ It is bitter cold to the feet.”

"For that discomfort I have little pity,” replied the Frenchman. ‘- A ride on the railway is soon over, and a good fire or a brisk walk is Mine is a different

I case.’ For forty years I have I. ’

“For forty years!" I repeated, thinking I had misunderstood him.

“ Yes, sir, forty years; since the winter of l8l2-the winter of the Russian campaign."

“You were in that terrible campaign 7” I inquired in a tone of interest and curiosity. My companion, previously taciturn, suddenly became communicative.

“ All through it, sir,” he replied; “ Min the Nicmcu to the Kremlin, and back again. It was my first campaign, and was neaubeing my last. I was in others afterwards; in Germany in 1813. when the combined Germans and Russians drove us before them, for want of the brave fellows we had left in Muscovy’s snows; in France in I814, when the Emperor made his gallant struggle ngginst overwhelming forces; and at the closing scene in Flanders; but not all those three cam- paigns put together, nor, as I believe, all tlist this century has witnessed, can match the horrors of that dreadful winter in Russia."

He paused, and, leaning back in his corner, seemed to revolve in his mind events of powerful interest long gone by. I waited a while, in hopes he would resume the subject. As he did not do eo,I asked him to what arm he belonged, when in ussia.

"I was assistant-surgeon in a regiment of‘hus- sars,” lie answered, “ and in my medical capacity I had abundant opportunity to make acquaintance with t horrors of war. On the 97th of Sep- ~teinber, for instance, at the Moekwa-—I‘lsaveris! what a shambles that was! Ali, it was fine to see such velour on both sides—for the Russians fought \vell—-gallanily, air, or wiiere would have been the glory of beating them? But Ney! Ney !

And Eugsnc,tlte iceroy, with what vigour lie hurled his masses against that terriblcredonbt! When at last it was his, what a sight was there! The ground was not strewn with dead: it was heaped, iled with them, They had been shut down by w ole ranks, and there they lay, prostrate in line as they had stood.” ‘

so many, doubtless as strong and courageous. and more inured to hardship, miserably perished 1’?

“ Under Providence, I owed in preservation to the trustiest and most faithful servant ever master had. Paul had been several years in‘the hussars—wae an old soldier, in fact, although still a'youug men; and at s time when all die- cipline and subordination were at an end,‘ when soldiers heeded not their cllisers, ofliosrs evohied their generals, and servants and masters were all alike and upon a level, Paul proved true as steel. As if cold and the Cossacks were not eno h, hunger was added to our sufferings : there was no longer a commissarist or distribution of rations ;~ rations forsooth!—-dead horse was a luxury I have sssii men fight for till death, lean meat though it was, for the poor brutes were as starved as their riders. What little there was to eat in the village we passed through ‘fell to the share of the first corners. Empty lsrders—often smoking ruins—wers all that remained for those who earns behind. Well, sir, when things were at the worst. and provsnder at the soercsst, Paul always had something for me in his hsversack. no tie it would be a bit of bread, on the marrow a hand. ful of grain or some edible roots, now and than a slice of horse-beef—and bow delicious that seemed, grilled over our smoky scanty fires! There was never enough to satisfy my hunger, but there was always a somellis'ng—enough,to keep body and soul together. Paul, as I after- wards discovered, husbanded his stores, for be well know that if he gave -me all at once, I should have nothing, and thcnl must hsve_ fasted for days, and perhaps have fallcii from my horse for weakness. But think of the courage and afl'ec- ticn of the poor fellow himself half-starved, to carry food about him day after day, and refrain

om'devouring the sham secretly set aside for me There were not many men in the army, even of genersl’s rank. capable of such devotion to the dearest friend they had, for extreme misery lisd induced a ferocious selfishness, which made us more like hyenas than Christians."

“ I should think the cold must’ have been even worse to endure than hunger,” said I screwing up my chilly extremities, which the interest of the doctor’s conversation had almost made me forget. _ wee, sir, harder and more fatal—-at least a greater nurdber died of it; although, to say the truth, frost and famine there worked hand in hand, and with such unity of action, that it was often haivl to say which was the cause of death. But it was a shocking sight, of a morning, to see the poor fellows‘ lying dead round the bivouac fires. - Unable to resist fatigue and the drowsy in- fluence of the cold, they yielded to slumber,'snd passed from sleep into death. For, there, sleep was death.” _

“ But how then," I asked, “did an ever eacapevfrom Russia, for all must have sept at

" I do not believe that any whw escaped did sleep, at least not of a night, at the bivcusc. We used to rouse each other cotginually, to prevent out‘ giving way. and than getu sud walk es brisk- y we could, to quicken the s uggish circulation. We slept upon the march, in our saddles, and, strings as it may seem to you, even those on foot elcptrwhen nisrching.’ They marched in groups or. clusters, and those in the centre slept, propped and supported by their companions, and moving their legs mechanically. I do not say that it was a sound, deep sleep, but rather a sort of feverish dozing. Such as it was, however, it was better than nothing, and ‘assuredly saved some who would otherwise have sunk. Others’, who would have given way to wesriness upon the long monotonous march, were kept from utter despair and sell’-abandonment only by the repeated ‘ The excite- ment of the skirmish warmed their blood, and gave them, as it seemed, fresh hold upon life. In one of those skirmishes, or rather in asharp combat, zi dear friend of mine, a captain in the same regiment, had his left arm carried off‘ by a cannon t. the affair was over, I came suddenly upon him, where he lay moaning by the roadside, his face aahy pale, his arm still hanging by the sinews. His horse had either galloped away, or been taken by the fugitives.

" ‘ Ah mo anti’ cried, when he saw me. ‘ all is ovsr—-I can go no further. Ishsll never see France again!’

H [saw that like the majority of those who received severe wounds in that retreat, his moral courage was subtle , and had given way to de- spair. I was terribly shocked, for I felt how sl' lit was his ehagce of escape.
