AX INCIDENT IN MILITARY WARFARE. The following passage is taken from 'Percy Blake,' a work which has just is sued from the pen of Capt. Rafter While lying in the trenches before Flush ing, about an hour before daybieak, one of our advanced sentinels having discharged his musket and retired, as usual in such cases, informed Capt. Tomk ins that three huge, dark-looking objects were seen ad vancing from the town. The matter in deed, appeared of such serious ar.d press ing emergency that Tomk ins, without wait ing to sift the accuracy of his information, instantly sent a report to the division head quarters that three heavy columns of inf-n-try were advancing in sortie, and the whole line was consequently turned out, immer diately, a general action being considered inevitable. " I . Fortunately, however, for us poor souls, who would have been the first victims of this 'untoward event,' it proved to be a false alarm; upon which Gen. A eland, who was brigadier of the day, rode dut to the advan ced posts in a towering passion. He ins tantly ordered Cap. Tomkins to parade his picquet in front of their position, care less of their exposure to the enemy, for daylight was then somewhat advanced, and roundshot from the ramparts of Flush ing were flying about us, too, thick to be pleasant, attracted, no doubt, by the glit tering of the muskets, which, in those days, were, not 'done brown, as at present. My readers are aware, from what I have already said, that it is sharp work for the eyes on ouUving picquet, in front of anac live enemy; ar.d that the apparition even of a single individual is apt to draw a dozen shots about his ears. It must, therefore, have been a matter of great moment that could induce a general officer to expose both himself and a whole platoon to the risk of a murderous fire. Tomkins accor dingly felt the critical nature of his posi tion, and even had some missiving's abo :t a drumhead court-martial on the spot, for bis false alarm.- " Judge, then, his astonish ment when, the General addressed him with the utmost coolness and deliberation, in the following manner: ' 'Captain Tomkins, did you ever hear the story of the three crows?' - 'Cood gracious, sir!' replied the bewil dered Tomkins, 'I never did.' 5 'Then, sir, I'll telHt to you,' said the General, taking a pinch of snuff., with all the nonchalance of a hackneyed raconteur. 'Once upon a time, Captain Tomkins, a sick man dreamt that he had swallowed n black crow' , ; - J Here an eighteen-pound shot from the ramparts tore up the earth at the heels of the General's charger and went ricocheting over the heads of the picquetj but he pro ceeded undisturbed as follows: ? ' 'Steady, men! no movement in the ranks. Though round-shot generally kill, it isn't always sure to hit. ; This sick man, Cap tain Tomkins; having told his dream to a friend, that friend told it to another; with this improvement, however, that this poor, dear, sick fnend had actually swallowed a black" crowf ' '. ; .' ' ' A shell, which followed the eignteen pounder, at this moment lodged midway between me and the General; and partly burying itsef in the earth, exploded with a loud crash,, scattering , rocks and rubbisb around in all directions. , - , , i 'Good heavens, sir!' cried Tomkins, ven turing to interrupt the story -tellerr 'there's a man struck down in the ranks!' 'Well, sir!'. exclaimed the imperturbable General, 'did you never see a man struck down in the ranks before? Let him be car ried to the rear, sir; and listen, if you please, to the sequel of my story. The sick man's friend, who may be compared to your sen try, Captain Tomkios, having told the mar vellous tale of the black crow to a greater fool than himself, who may be likened, Captain Tomkins, to you, the latter imme diately magnified the wonder into three black crows, with which he horrified every one that "would listen to him. Now, had you, Captain Tomkins, had the coolness to inquire, into this-matter before you, had re course to so serious a measure as turning out the whole line, you would have discov ered thai the three weighty columns, or black crows which haunted your imagina? tion, were nothing more than two drunken men and a pig! The men Were made pri soners, and the pig was" shot by a hungry rifleman. You may now turn in your pic quet, l Captain i Tomkins; iabd l sincerely hope I may never have ibe pleasure of be ing on duty witlryou again, ;sir.' - CONSEQUENCES OF SMOKING. .A lady once declared. that she could notunderstand how. gentlemen could smoke. "It certainly shortens their li ves, said she. - ' . ' ' . . " ; "I don't know that," replied' a - gentle man ; "there's mv lather, who smokes evey bb'ss ?d day, and he is now seventy years old, ; .' Wei'," was the ireplv, "if he had never smoked he might have been I eighty." ; . , MICKWIIOT. il 1 BGS extra New Hulled Euckwheat.- JL JV- Just received and for sale kv barlow: Dec. 1.
