OEOTHIN BAND ON THE Wa.R.—A pamphlet has
just appeared is Pula, from the pen of the celebeated
George Sand, entitled " War." The Miowlug is an extract :
—4. Met voice which told rue Do much was that of a bugle
which pared along a garden wall. Nothing more. Nothing
more! bat what more wax required to explain to me what
the archangel bad snuouneed to me with that clear and
penetrating voice? It passes, and legions follow it. It rum
—it advances, and millions of heroes fiy, electrified by fil
energetics! vibmtions. Yee, Iteroesl—all these little men,
still pale and badly equipped—all theme little Frenchmen,
whose active bodies hold ao little spew in the sun, but whose
marvellous energy sometimes raises the world. Children of
the workshop or the plough, they go fortb, their eyes still
wet with tears shed at leaving home. Yee, it is a noble
idea to quit ones mother, ones bride, Oiled farm, ones
friend ; what affliction ! And what is Italy to us ? What
have the Austrians done to us ? how many years are we to
lose ? What distress among our families who lived by our
labour ; and we may return maimed if we ever do
sedans. Yee, all that was said yesterday ; but to-day the
national colours are ffyieg and the bugle sounds. Every
man quickens his pace, prelim forward, arrives,
and already smells gunpowder—he must be a hero !
it la a fine career; we are in for it, and away with all
shrinking or escrowing. We mast fight ! Well, let are
begin. It la not difficult; and, strange. to say, it is an in-
toxication which affects the heart. Who weeps now Who
trembles among us? Nobody, as you may see. We have
our knapsack on our back; we ase soldiers; we sips
are proud ; we think ourselves fine fellows , the baptism of
blood is about to iwash away all the sellishuma of the
pessent, the awkwardness of the conscript, the French
frivolity of the young artisan, and even the misconduct of
some of Ue, who, it is said, were good for nothing, and who
are now redeeming our errors with the courage of a lies.
Yes, yes I This is all quickly accomplished. Devotedness
exalts everybody. Behold, death hovers over our beat. 1%
all await it with a firm leering, and there whom it will carry
off will leave a reputation purified by fire. Children, you
are tight—yesterday you were ordinary men—to-day you are
blamed and exalted, and the last among you le a thousand
times muse worthy than the idler who sits at home yeemed
Ida arms folded."
