I'HE &gveH Years WAR.-This war rsgel
ian 1855 to 1863, and nearly all tbs European
gowers were engaged in it. Il originated in a
dispute bet &ecn England and France, relating
to tue Canadgs; the French encfoached on

wilderness, uncultive:cd, and uninhubitcd, ex-
ospting by sayages; and this has often been

THIS var is represented by historians, as une
OF the most successful that England was ever
engaged in. Onc hundred ships of war were
taken from the enemy or destroyed, and neaily
sixty miiiicus oil dollars acquired IN prize mcncy;
but these gl3r!ous successes cost the nation
25O,000 human beings, and about $6O0 ,000,0O0.

his own duughili, meet in single combat; end ii
one kills the n5ner, lei the question be settled ac

authority take up the weapons, until there IS only
4 one Survivor; and let his country take the land

Does this mode of setting the difficulty appear
bartarous to the reader? But is it not as much
better than war as The number engaged IN the
deadly conflict is les? What is war but duef
