they could mol gel al The enemy. They
Ipushed thousands of their foes into eterni,
|ly on the point of their bayo' els; their
canton fenced the plains OF Abraham with
windows of dead men but they never
killed an enemy. Enemies are as immor.
tai as any malignant spirits, and you might
as well hope TO shoot sin stone dead as 10
shoot an enemy. There is but one way
given under heaven BY which one can kill
40 enemy, and that is, By putting co4ls Of
fire upon mas head; that does The business
for him at once. Lie in wait for him. and
when you catch him in trouble, faint from
hunger or thirst, or Shivering with cold,
spring upon him like a good Samaritan,
with your hands, eyes, tongue, ard heart
foil OF good gifts. Feed hm, give him
drink and warm him with clothing and
words Of kindness; and he is done for

friend at one shot
Now, as we were saying, we should
like TO be put in command of The Ohio for
thirty days We would trundle out all
that was made OF iron, eXcep; the anchor,
cable and marlin spike-we would mol
save single cutlass, though it had been
doMeslIcaled to cheese knife. Then the
way we would !ade down the huge YES
sci to The waters edge with food and GOV.
ering for human beings, should be mar.
vel in the carrying trade. The very bal.
last should be something good 10 eat. Lets
see-yes we have il! The ballast should
be round clans, or The real quahaugs,-
heavy as cast iron and capitil for roasting.
Then We would build along up, filing ey.
cry square inch with we'll cured provisions.
We would have a hogshead OF bacon
mounted into every port hole, each of
which should discharge fifty hams a min

And The slate.roomS should be filled wi'b
weII'made garments, and the taul cordage,
and the long taperng spars should be les
,ooneI with boys jackets and troe sers.-
Then, when there should be no more
room for another Goldfish or herring, or
sprg OF catnip, we would run up The white
flag OF peace, and ere The moon banged,
it should wave in triumph in the hatbor OF
Quebec. We would anchor under the 81,
lent cannon Of her Gibraltar, and open our
6uttcries upon The hungry aud houseess
thousands begging bread on the hot ashes |
OF their dwellings, We would throw as
many hams into the city, in twenty, loIr
hours, as there were bomb,shtlIS and can |

ing armies. We would baricade the low,
narrow streets where live the low AMI
hungry people, with loaves oil bread We
would throw upa breaslwork clear around
the market place, of barrels OF -four, pork
and beef and in the middle, we would
raise stack of salmon and Goldfish as large
as a small Methods! meeting. house, with
a steeple to il, and bell in The stcppIe
and the bell should ring 10 all the city
bells; and the city bells should ring TO all

coored drapery Of war should bow and
