THE SENTINEL
70 Written by Capt. G. w. Patten, the
evening preceding the Battle of Cerro Gordo:
o LET US SLEEP!

Oh, let us sleep awhile tonight?
Our weary limbs with toll are sore;
Tomorrow brings the dubious fight
Beyond-and we may crave no more!
Beneath the tropics burning ray,
Faint are the hearts midst strife which dare,
Aad ands, strong nerved to moet the fray,
Droop listless with the sultry air.
o give us sleep-a wakeful rest
dream which breaks ere scarce began
And then our arm shall do its best,
To strike until the field be won,
With bosoms fred by martial glow,
And purpose for the combat ripe,
Our strength, renewed, shall proudly show
The glory of the star and stripe.
D give us sleep! IT'S toll severe,
Which bids our feet the march restrain
And we would steal moment here,
To see, in dreams, our homes again;
Those homes, alas, far away,
Where now mid tears with trembling tongue,
For us the prayer they nightly say
For us the Vesper hymn is sung.
Yes, give us sleep. Nodowny bed,
Nor pillow soft, our limbs demand;
We only ask to lay our head
A while upon the desert sand.
The night is near--the voice of cheer
To glad our hearts is far away;
Tomorrow brings the strife severe
Oh give us sleep till dawn of day!

n Singular Case Of Conner
sion-Dr. southey relates in his
life of Wesley, what he call ''the
most comical case of instantane-
Gus conversion that was ever re-
corded" Whetherit is told to rid
icule the doctrine of Wesley on
this point, we can scarcely deter
mine, as the author states that the
man was said to have been through
" converted" We have no OBJ
lection to the comic, whenever it
will produce such a result.
"I'he Methodists at Wexford
met in long barn, and used to
fasten the door, because they were
annoyed by a Catholic mob. Be-
ing thus excluded from the NEE
ting, the mob became curious to
know what was done there, and
taking council together, they greed
that fellow should get in and
secrete himself before the congre-
CATION assembled, so that he might
see all that was going on, and, at
a proper time, let in his compan-
ions. The adyenturer could find
no better means of concealment
than by getting into a sack
which he found there, and lying
down in a situation near the en-
trance. The people collected, Sc
cured the door as usual, and began
their service by singing.
The mob collected also, and
growing impatient, called repea-
iedly upon their friend Patrick to
open the door. but Pat happening
to have taste for music, liked the
singing well, and he thought, as he
afterward said, it would be a thou
sand pities to disturb it. And
when the hymn was done, and the
itinerant began to pray, in spite Of
all the vociferations Of his COM
rades, he thought that as he been
SO well pleased with the singing,
hc;would see how he liked the pra-
yer; put when the prayer procee-
ded, the power ofsGod;;' says the
relator, did so confound him that
Ire roared out with might and;
shain and not having power to get
out of the sack, lay bawling and
screaming, to the establishment Of
the congregationwho probably sup
posed that Satan himself was in
the barn. somebody at last ventured
to see what was in the sack; and
helping him out brought him up
contessing his sin, and crying fol
mercy.-Meth. Prot.
