amidst the slillcd groans of the wounded,
Subducd by loss Of blood, tanned by cold,
exhausted by burger, the focmcn lay side
by side amidst the general wreck. The
Cossack was to be seen by the side of the
Italian; the gay vino dresser, from the sni-
ling banks of the Cayenne, lay athwart the
stern peasant from the plang of Ukraine.
The extremity of suffering had ex,inguishcd
alike the fercest and most generous pas
sons. After his usual custom, Napoleon in
tire afternoon rode through this dreadful
field, accompanied by his generals and staff,
while the still burning piles of Scrpallcn and
Sansssaron sent volumes Of black smoke
over the scene Of dcath---but they exhibited
morn of their wontcd cnthusiasm--no cries
of Nivc l'Empcror were heard.

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT.

How few men seem to have formed a
conception ofthr oriainnl DIGNITY Of their ma
turc, or the exalted design OF their creation.
Regarding themselves only as tie creatures
oiijine, endowed mclcIy vithanimal passions
and intellectual faculties, their projects, and
aims, and expectations, are circumsCrlbed
by the harrow Justine Of human lie. They
forget thai instability and decay are written,
as with sunbeam, upon all earthly objects
that this world, with all its pagcautry OF
ponp and power, is crumbliug into dust
that the present life is scarcely deserving of
single thought excepting as il forms the
Introduction to anOllicr, and that he alone
acts either prudent OF rational part, wID
frames his plans with direct reference 10
that future and endless State Of being. Sn
has SO bli ded the understanding, and pr
verted the will, aud debased the affections,
that mcn never iaii to invest some tcmpTal
good with iancIed perfection, and idly inGg-
inc that the attainment Oft would satisfy dic
desires and fill the capacities oflhe immortal
spirit. Vain thought How little they know
themselves The soul is not of the earth,
and they will strive in vain to chain it TO the
dus,. Though its native strength has been
impaired, and its purity furnished, and its
glory changed, it will always be prisoner
here. Send it forth, if yen will, to range
through the whole material universe; and
Ike the dove dismissed from tie ark, it will
return withoui finding single place Of rest
for it has 10 resting place but Tie 6osom
Of God.

1t was night ofbeaury. Deep and holy

Of Israel. Noughl was there Of sound sqye

were famed by the breeze. Eve" the low
note Of the swallow bad ccasrd. Slumbcr-

mindful Of the darscrs of the morrow.
But see, noble form approaches. a mo-

bic supplicalion to the God of Israel. 1T is
brave AID mighty cheilain, with sincerity
in his petition, indicated and traueht ilh to-
" zeal Like sweet incense il rises to the
mercy seat, and as with an eye of faith he
cings to the promise of Jehovah, a heaven
" calm diiliises Itself through his soul. A
moment, and his voice is suspended. Too
deep and mighty are his thoughts for utter
ance.
Again is the midnight silence broker. In
the deep and earnest breathings of his shirt.
he pours out before the throne of grace a SOL
emn vow. Oh God, if thou wilt nerve thy
servants arm, and grant to him that strength
which thou atone canst give, in the struggle
of the morrow when proud Ammon's sons
shall! be urraycd against him, then when he
returns in triumph to his native land, to the
sweet enjoyments of his firesidc, and to SIT,
under his own vine and fig tree in peace
then, o God, the first of mine that shall
greet my eye, shall be an Offering to thee!
Morning came. Fair and beautiful was
that day. Not cloud was to be seen save
here and there a thin ncecv vapor scattered

ed his army with sweet promises. Let Your
watchword be, The Lord he is our shield
and our helper.
\
The shades of the evening were fas, steal
ing over the world The plain of Ammon
was srewed with the mingled bodies of the
dead and dying. Ever aud anon the deep
groans Of the wounded we're echoed through
the surrounding forest.
But where the hosts of Israel? The con-
Aict is over, and Jehovah has given them the
victory. With gratitude and thanksgiving
to thai great being who has thus sustained
them IN imminent peru, they rear an altar on
the battc-lIeld aud the mingled prisons OF
prayer aud praise ascend to The God Of Sab
baolh.
The Aurora has gilded the east with ro-
seate hue, the lsraeltes are seen moving in
triumphant procession towards thcir home.

borne. The stirring sound of martial music
floats on the breeze, and enlivens with its

silent admiration at the beauty of the scene,

home comes like brigh, illusion to his busy
imagination, with all its tender and soothing
endcarments. But Il shade passes over the
chictiain's brow-his lips are compressed,
and his countenance assumes litld hue
Fearful and gloomy are his lorebodings, and
he fears what he dare not utter, as the fatal
vow is recalled 10 memory.
But hank What soft and svery music
bursts upon his ear Enraptured at the
nclodious strain, he lifts his eyes, and 10 a
fair and bcautcous band stand before his be-
wildercd gaze, ana, fairest in that lovely group,
is his beautiful, his beloved, his only daush-
ter! Pride and pleasure glow in the fathers
countcnance and thrill through every vein, as
he surveys the very idol of his heart.
She was indeed worthy of fathers love.
In all the buoyancv of you,l,, she had come
forth with light and joyous step, to greet the
return Of her beloved and only surviving pa

bounds with chiidIike playru!ness towards the

is entwined IL his embracc.-W ith an syc
and look of love she gazos upon the endc-
AIRED lincamcn,s other fathers countcnancc,
and with joyous smiles welcomes him home.
But again that noble brow is clouded ;
again does deep and healt-rcndmg sorrow
rcnd that chieiian's soul. One wild and
piercing sAriek rises in the air, and the
heart stricken father bows his head, and liz
an infant. sobs in all the frantic agony OF
