Our ARMY.-Accounts from the seat of war give
the most vivid pictures of the generalization and dis
order which prevails among the volunteers. These
tales of MURDER roting, drunkenness and licentious
ness, contrast strangely with the presentation of BIZ
bleS at the setting out of the regiments and the
mon of the sssafiotlc Parson Captain who could not
sleep nights until he had enlisted, and who fatters
the soidery with the notion that they were in reality
very pious set of missionaries, who were carrying
to the Mexicans the benefits ofust laws and true
igion. The simple truth Is, is iOar--no other
word gives any idea of Its horrors,-and fuis this
short syllable of all the cursus that can aict mortas
that very few ever learn fully to appreciate it, Most
particularly rich is that idea, which we frequently
hear extocd as the height of "patrotsm, that
pure, sensitive, beautiful lovely and loving woman,
should spurn from her presence the man who is not
willing to plunge his sword any pretext, mat
ter how unjust, hrough his fellows heart touch
the fuse which shall blow him into ribbons;--to Stay
fathers in the blood of their sons;-to waow in I'M
bridled lust, and rage in unrestraned rapine. How
absurd. and upon ideas just like this the whole war
doctrine rests.

Man was not made 10 MourE


There is a voice which haunts me still,
Where'er on earth be;
In lonely vale, on lofty hill,
And on the distant sea
| hear il in the silent night,
And a, the break of morn:
And are it crye,h-dark or light
Man was no, made 10 mourn!
In ev'y stream that seaward flows,
Thai voice saluies mine ear;
In every wind thar round me blows,
Its thrilling notes | hear;
In evfy sound of Natures heart,
Tn, cheerful or forlorn,
This EVER beals the better part
Man was not made 10 mourn,
The iun that glads The summer noon,
The lgh, that blesseih all.
The myriad stars, the qule, moon,
TIE showers from heaven lhs, fall;
The aOw'rs which IN our meadows grow,
Our mountain paths adorn-
All, AL, in their own fashion show
Nan was no, made TO mourn
All Nature cries aloud-bu, man
Regards not Natures voice;
Pererelh her benignant plan,
Her workmanship destroys
From her fair book the brightest page
With impious hand has Torn,
Yel still she cries from age 10 age,
Man was not made TO mourn!
o genrles, mother may thy child
Ere long Thy lesson read;
Embrace thy precepis, loving, mild.
Thy fraiernizing creed:
Then shall The blessed end be known
For which be has been born:
And all shall feel from zone 10 zone,
Man was not made 10 mourn!
