Horrors of War,

It has been estimated by DR.. Thomas Dick,
that, since the creation of the world fourteen
thousand millions Of beings have fallen in the
battles which man has waged against his fell
low creature-man. If this amazing number
Of men were to hold each other by the hand, at
arms length, they would extend over fourteen
millions five hundred and eigh,y.three thou
sand three hundred and thir,y-three miles of
ground, and would encrcle the globe on which
we dwell, six hundred and eight times If we
allow the weight of a man to be on an average
one cwt., (and that is, if anything below the
mark,) we shal! come to the conclusion, that
six million two hundred and fifty thousand tons
of human flesh have been mingled, disfgured,
gashed, and trampled under foot. The calcu-
laton will appear more striking when we state,
that if the forcfngers only of every one of those
| fourteen thousand millions Of beings were to be
laid out in straight line, they would reach
more than six hundred thousand miles beyond
the moon, and that if person were to under
take to count the number, allowing nineteen
hours a day, and seven days to the week, at the
rate of six thousand per hour, it would occupy
that person three hundred and thirty six years
aud awful is the consideration, three hundred
and fifty thousand pipes of human blood have
been split in battles. Who would not exclaim
with Bishop Hail. "Give me the man who can
devise how to save troops of men from killing !;
his name shall have room in my calendar.
There is more true honor in q civic garland for
the preserving ofone subject, than in laurel
for the victory over many enemies" Or, with
Bishop Taylor, "If men were only subject to
Christ's law, then could they never 60 to war
with each other"

A Child OF sorrow.
A THRILLING SKETCH.

who thought at all, reflected that, eighteen hun
drcd and fory-thrcc years ago, the religion Of
the heart, bringing peace and coed will on .
earth, came to soften the rgor OF the religion .
of form, little girl not six years old, had been
observed bya lonely lady, sitting day after day |
on the step of door opposite to her house. 1t
seemed to belong to nobody bnt at a certain |
hour, there twas, wrapped in an old shawl |
crouchod on the cold stone. and rocking itself
pcnsivcly backwards and forwards, more like
an ailing old woman than a child. Other child |
rcn played around it, but this melancholy little
being mingled not in their sports, but sat silent
and solitary.
soon afterwards twas seen to peep about the
area ofthe ladys house, and look wisttully at
the kitchen windows. The lady, who was kind
/ 10 children, thinking that the girl might be try
/ ing to attract her notice, opened the door sud-
/ denly, and offered it some gingerbread. When
the door opened, there was a strange, eager cX-
preston in the child's eye; but when she saw
the lady she looked scared and disappointed.
+ The kind voice and manner soon rcassurcd the
startled child, %ho thankfully took the offering,
broke it up into little bits in her hand, and
carried it to the door step opposite where she
again took up her station. Another child, Sec
ing the gingerbread, came up to the solitary
infant, who gave the newcomer some, and, by
gestures the lady saw that she was informing
the other child whence the gift came. After
waiting a considerable time without eating her
gingerbread, the poor little girl rose detected
ly and went away, still looking back at the
house.
a day or two afterwards, the same child was
seen lingering about the pavement near the a
rea, and holding outa bit Of sugar candy in its
tiny fingers through the rails.
The lady, who thought that the child was
come to offer it ont Of gratitude !or the ginger
bread, went down into the area; and as soor
a. she appeared, the child ran away. Soon a
gain, however, the child was at its old station

toned this to her only female servant as yer!
odd, but received 10 observation in reply.
One morning the door vas opened to rccejv,
= piece OF furniture, and the same child agair
suddenly appeared, and advanced steallhly to
wards the door. The lady, who was near, sal,
Il see you ~ when the child Immediately re

This is very extraordinary" said the lad
to her servant; IL cannot make out what tina

am not sad when the hearse and pail
Stand at the door of the poor or great
For know that the grave is home for all,
Come they early or come they late.
A sweet home is the grave No sorrow nor care,
To gnaw at the soul, can entrance gain;
But age and youth are together there
Free from wasting disease and pain,
Maidcns come hther to hide their shame,
And matrons to be with some darling child,
And strong proud hearts, who have struggled for
fame
And found that a vapor had them bcguled
Monarch, and noble and warrior proud,
Come hithcr to rest in its silent halls,
And gladly exchange their state for a shroud
Their palaces bright fol its moist, cold walls.
Peasant and scrf from their hapless toll,
The ycoman bold, and the scourged slave,
Whose blood enriches the thirsty soil
All come for rcpose 10 the friendly grave.
O, home is the grave where all may rest,
And quiet from all the grief may find;
The child here sleeps on its mothers breast,
And the maid in her lovers arms entwined.
And say 10 my heart, when | see the tear
Clean like pearl in affections eye,
Alas, not to know that couch is the bier
And that sinking TO slumbcr it is to die!
