man being is visible except the Turkish
sentries. 1t is midsummer, but no words
and no experience of other places can con-
vey on idea Of the canic ular heat of Jerusa-
lem. Bengal, Egypt even Nubia are
nothing to it. In these countries there are
rivers, trees, shade and breezes; but !eru-
salem at mid day in midsummer, is a city
of stone and land Of iron, with sky OF
brass. The wild glare and savage lustre
of the landscape are themselves awful
We have all read of the man who had lost
his shadow-this is shadowless world.

s'In, the bloody streets Of Monterey,
when the death storm was, at its highest,
and the shattering yolley came pealing
down, when the wild huzza and the mus
kets' crash and the cannons' deadly boom
told how the fatal work progressed-frm al
his post he braved the terrors Of the field.
On thousad wings came flying the mes
sengers of death-the earth was bathed in
gore -the Star-Spangled banner fut.ered in
the smoke untilthe conquering power of
the freeman's.arm planted it on the top
most tower of the captured town. But not
fated there to die, he escaped every danger
Of the day. Not among scenes of blood
and carnage-not amid the groans Of the
wounded and the shrieks of the dying was
his career to close--but when all was done,
and the battles strife had slept, the fiat
came; and disease-destroyed what the
fight had spared. THOMAS L. HAMER has
passed from among us-moy we profit by
the example of his life - .a. -.
