SATURDAY NIGHT.

The BMbJering Boys appeal TO his Mercihs
Mama.
oh why must my face be washed so clean,
And scrubbd and drench'd for Sunday,
When you know very well (as you've always
seem
Twill be dirty again on Monday.
My hair is stiff with lathery roap
That behind my ears are dripping;
My smarting eyes I'm afraid TO ope,
And my lips the suds are slipping.
They're down my throat and up my nose,
And to choke me you seem to be trying;
That I'll shut my mouth you need not suppose,
For how can keep from crying
You rub as hard as ever you can,
And your hands are hard-(to my sorrow y
No women shall wash me when I'm man.
And | wish were one tomorrow.

WONDER WHY!

He press'd my hand, l can'ttell why
I'm sure | wonder why he did it,
And then heard-oh such a sigh,
quite alarmed me for minute.
| wonder why he pressed my hand
wonder why he sighed so sadly
I'm sure if | could understand
The cause, | would remove it gladly.
He told me he had lost his heart,
And whispered something about Hope;
wonder why it did depart
Or why hearts ever do elope-
I'm sure, if his heart had been,
never would have left his side,
But stay'd happy, Joyous thing
And loved the place till had died.

An After Scene In Battle.

The late disaster on board the Princeton
and from an account written by clergyman, OF
what he witnessed just after the battle of Sol
Gen, will quote pretty fair specimen ofwhat
war is.
AT one o'clock says he, "the cannonading
ceascd-and went out on foot to Solden in or
der to learn to whose advantage the battle had
turned out. Towards evening, seven hundred
Of the Russian tugativcs came to Soden, pi-
tifu sight, indeed-somc holding up their hands,
curslng and swearing-others praying, and
praising the King of Prussia--wthout hats,
without clo,hes-some Oh foot, others two on a
horse, with their heads and arms tied up-some
dragging along by the stirrups, and others by
the horses tails.
"When the battle was decided, and victory
shouted for the Prussian army, ventured TO the
place where the canonnadng was. After walk
ing some way, Cossack's horse came running
full speed towords me. | mounted him, and
on my way for seven miles and aha on this
side the field OF battle, found the dead and the
wounded lying on the ground, sadly cut TO pie
ces. The farther advanced, the more these
poor creatures lay heaped upon one another.
"The scene never shall forget. The Cos
sacks, as soon as they saw me, cried out, "Dear
sir, WATER. WATER WATER!" Righteous
God, what sight! Men, women and children,
Russians and Prussians, carriages, horses and
oxen, chest and baggage, all lying upon one a.
mother, 20 the height of a man ! Seven villa.
ges around me in flames, and the inhabitants
either massacred or thrown into the fire
''The poor wounded"-what horrii exh-
bition of war spirit rit!-"were still firing at one
another in the greatest evaporation The
field of battle was plain, two miles and half
long, and wholly covered with dead and woun-
ded, there was not even room to set my foot
down without treading on some oct them Sc
do affirm it, they lay heaped upon one ano-
ther as high as two men, and appeared like
hills to the even ground
81 could hardly recover myself from the
fright occasioned by the great and miserable
outcry of the wounded. noble Prussian Of
fcer, who had lost both his legs, cried out to
me, "Sir, you are Priest and preach mercy
pray, show me some compassion, and despatch
me at once"
Here is war-and can the disciples of the
Prince of Peace sanction such methods OF set
ting disputes between rational and civilized
and Christian men-between nations eny more
than between individuals In all this what is
thsre which the gospel can approve, or on
which the God OF love can look with compla-
cence Yet such things are inseparabIe from
war--a part OF its legitimate, designed and in
evitable results.
