 And the world threw off he darkness, like the

 morning hour.
 But fearr heart ofiron beating in that an.

 swallows wild and high, And he world .neaih me sleeping seemed
 more distant than the sky. The most musical and solemn, bringing back . the oldeu tunes With their strange, unearthly changes, rang
 the melancholy chimes, Like the psalms from some old clorster, when
 tse nuns sing In the chCir, And the great bell toIed among them, like the
 chanting of iriar. Visions of the days departed, shadewy phant-

For Me EnqIirsr
A CONNECTICUT PRESIDE.

Wha; delightful associations cluster around this hali"wed spo, What thronging visions nf affectionate home-circles, radiant with haps piness, rush upon the mind as we think of our own dear Connecticut Firesides and HomesS How swellsthe heart with gratitude Jas wec cens tenn, plate the priceless blessings they bestoyv upon us! Truly, it wasa holy struggle, that eur Forefather's endured, to save from desecraS tionits cherished precincts; One can scarce- Iy realize in loolsigg around upon our present domestic privileges, that but halt century since, no family relations. no domestic hearths were too sacred to escape the ruthless hand of foreign invasion. We indeed cad with thrill- ing attention the history of our country's wrongs and 'riumphs, and trace with eager interest the career of our patriot sires, as step by step, amid dangers and difficulties, they manfully toiled for Freedom, Chat pre-. cious boon we now enjoy,) still we car, even then hardly realize at what fearful cost these blessings have been transmitted to us. Few indeed are they, within the limits of our own Stale, who may not at the present day, enjoy the comforts of apleasent Preside. Then whaf care we, if wind and storm, cold and snow. en. compass our dwelling, for many month during the year Secure from wintry blasts! we may langh at Old Boreas, as he madly rushes on his northward track, and drawing closer around the blazing hearth, pass away the hours in sweet communion and mutual en-. terchange ofthought and ieel, g, that will tend 10 elevate the II in and call forth the better feelings of our earth nature. a@@
 And when one and another ofthe familyins mates arise and go forth in the great worldto engage in the pursuits and business of lifeahe farewell is spoken with fearful eye, but trustful heart, but how can evil betide the child of such home w ho now for thefirst fime; leaves that affectionate circ le?

STATISTICS CF WAR.

Let us wave the question, says the Buffalo Commercial, whether upon the old notions of national etiquette and honor, the present war can be justified Or not. Possibly it can, hut five do not depart from such notions, 'honor' will be very expensive item. We can maintain this 'honor' if we will pay for it. We always thought that at the close or the revolution the nation established for itself new code of hon or, and rose above the maxims W mich monarchs found so convenient for improper purposes. This was to be cur glory, and distinguished by the univeFsality of education, liberty and com= peience, would not seek the battle, nor shun i, when il came.' ...
 The laboring men, or producing classes, are those who, throughout Christendom, pay nine ientls of the revenue Of their respective governments. The national debts of the va rious Christian countries contracted for wars ta,nouat in the aggregate to 7,50o 900 900 | pounds. The interest on nine tenths of this sum ai per cent. is about $337,Ooo 900 In the next thirty years, the working men of christend"m will haze, to pay $lo Oo0, ,0oo ,ooO for interest on this debt. Think how many days work this IS at 70 cents a day.
 | Ti.is is rot all that we do pay, for it does noi include the preparations for war. For these the working men ot Christendom have paid du,ing the las g years $s2l 5Uo,000,000.
 This expense is annually growing heavier in the U. States, Britain, France. and many oth. CT ,uniries. A writer under the signature of A Working Man of America makes the fol- i lowing estimate;
 | There are at least 25oo, 900 able-bodied men l in the standing armies of Ch.istendom, all a. bic>b died men these, according to the sur- men are wanted merely to mow, plough and | sow and make stone wall or for any vulgar utilitarianpurpose Every common soldier is taken Hom the laboring class, we feel sure of I of that. The population embracing the la boring classes of any country will not average more than one able bodied man, according to the surgeons military standard, to every ten individuals. Then il would lake out all the sble-bod,ed men irnm 25.Oo0 QUO of the people to raise the standing army oi 2,3ooO,0o0 which has been kept up in Christendom ever since Ithe Battle of Waterloo. Now. instead of being mere machines for murder, suppose these 2 800, ,Oo0 able-bcdied men had been employed in some produetiye labor, even at the low rate of less than 25 cents day. the hard earned money paid " labnring men since 1915 in prepairing for war, amounts, including interest to nearly S3e 100000.
