BRITISH MILITARY DISCIPLNE.

The Kntjli.-'li, eiMier at first _ lyh\g dawn or standing with the but end of their r.i"s!\ its c;n the jl'nmnd, gave no siyn of their (i>:ist:jncp, except a line of motionless led, ■which just shows und no more along the crest, while behind it here and there an officer is seen riding quietly up and. down. At first tli' French dash forward with furious courage, chattering a good deal, abusing the English most savagely. The excitement increases from moment t.i iiioiuenr. One niter another cannot be restrained from breaking the ranks that lie mar r-liovo his feelings by a shot at the cnemv. The column becomes more and moreconfui'd. As they gel further and l.'.rtiier uu i >.■'■ iiill the excitement and hurry tall ni'Te" and more ; the pare cannot be kept up. They realise ever mure and more ■unpleasantly the fact that all their excite ment nnil hurry have produced no olfect iipiui the mi line above them. These fedings have fall time to react upon the previous over-excitement. At last an unple.isaut chill succeeds, and now thc-v arc within point blank range <r the enemy. They hear a single cool word or" eorninaud repeated all along the English line. Down come all the muskets towards them. A moment more, then comes a volley, of which few shots go astray. The smoke clears away. Moving straight down towards them they see a line of bavouets. Then a loud cheer rings out from the hitherto silent ranks. Tlie.se are coming on now steadily, rapidly—with an evident intention not to stop —straight at them. The strain is too severe. The column does not await to be attacked, but breaks and flies. " Never," says the old marshal. " did I see other than one end to it."—'Soldiering, in the Technical Edu cator. '
