brown, that broken column was rolled back in
disorder, and utterly routed. Campbell, the po.
It, stood on tower and gazed on this terrible
scene, and IN the midst of the fight composed IN
part that stirring ode which is know az far as the
English language is spoken.
The depths Of the forest swallowed the strug-
gng hosts from sight, but still there issued forth
from its bosom shouts and yeIls mingled with
the thunder of cannon, and all The confused din
of battle. The Austri1ns were utterly routed,
and the frightened cavalry went plnnging thro
the crowd Of fugitives into the woods-the artil-
cry men cnt their traces and, leaving their guns
behind, mounted their horses and galIoped away
and that Inagnl1cent Colu'nn, us II rent by
some violent explosion, was hur ed in shattered
fragments on every side. For miles The white
ground was sprInkled with dead bodies, and
when The battle left the forest, and the pine trees
stood calm and silent in the wintry night, pierre
ing cries and grolns issued out Of the gloom in
every direction sufferer answering sufferer as
he lay ald wrhed on the cold snow Twenty
thousand men we're scattered there amid the
trees, while broken carriages and wagons and
the deserted guns, spread in perfect wreck a.

Another New Light.

A year or two ago there was good deal pub
lshed in the London journals, p'o and con.
about the Electric Light, which was said by
snme to be the greatest illuminating invemiJ
oil discovery ever announced, and by others to
be false light, sort of ign,s tjttuus and last
were pretty nearly correct But the thing does
not end so. new method of producing cleo
trio light has been invented by Mr. Altman,
which he calls Voltac Light, and is 10 be pro-
duced from Votac battery, and furnished to
the consumer at an infinitely cheaper rate than
gas, os soon as certain not unmanageable (so
calIed) difficulties are surmnuned which are,
that the Voltac Light is subject, as yet, to in
termlttent corruscations and chickering's and
variations in fne does not, as yet, shine stead
ly. These difficulties are to be overcome, and
then he that stitch in darkness will do so be-
cause he does not love light, for electric light is
then to be but little more expensive than sun
light, and much easier obtained than this last IS
in London, where it is in general not to be had
for love nor money and when got, is of a very
dim and dismal quantity.
The Voltaic Light can be conveyed by wires
from the manufacture, and as easily as gas can
be by pipes, and is resolved into light as needed,
by pasng to the ceiling Of the room a very thin
silver plate-as thin as tissue paper-whIch is
to be painted {white, we presume,) and as the
electricity comes in cuntact with it, a beautiful
and refulgent light is produced so gorgeous and
intense that plate of no great size will reflect
aht equal to two thousand candles So says
the patrntee As yet, we neither affirm nor
deny, but plead guilty to a good deal OF doubt
Within the last two years, the FL gish and A
merican public have been much hoaxed and
humbugged about lights of one kind and anoth-
er; and though we have never been in hurry
to accord our credence to the magnificent theor-
les and discoveries that have been announced
from time to time, yet we find ourselves getting
still more incredulous and if this votac light
turns ont to be another hoax, we shall begin to
think that something ought to be done with the
the impostors who make business of bambooz-
ling the community with pretended discoveries
which they (the impostors) well know have
never been made Washington Globe.

desoate landscape, decked with frosty jewels
which fash brightly in the clear light. Now

loved exceedingly; to the third he was lndiffer-

he was summoned before the justice for the
matter OF which he was innocent. "Who a.
mong u" said he, "wIl 60 and witness for
?" The first Of his friends excused himself
Immediately, on the ground of other business.
The second accompanied him to The door of his
tribunal, but there he turned and went back for
fear of the Judge. The third, upon whom he
had least depended, went in, spoke for him. and
Witnessed his inAoeence so cheeriully that the
Judge released him, and made him present be-
sides.
Man has three friends in this world. How
do they behave in the hour Of death when God
summons HIN before the judgment seat? Gold
ano friends accompany him to the brink of the
grave, and return again to their homes. HIS
good deeds alone accompany him to the throne
of the Judge; they go before, speak for him, and
find mercy and favor.-- Etza Cooks Jour.

Some Phenomena of Defective
Vision.

One of the earliest evidences of old age is
defective sight, and the opinions hitherto held
respecting the causes of this have been various.
A letter has lately appeared in the Lon'on, Ed
inburgh, and Philosophical Magazine, from
MIR, R. T. Cranuore, Eng, respecting discov-
cry made by him. which will appear singular to
many, because the tatening Of the cornea has
hitherto been held to be the cause of the loss of
vision, and this is the reason why convex glass
es are employed to restore it, and WE believe
this is the princi; lie upon which Prof. Bronson
acts to restore sight but Mr.. Cranmo'e, who
has been defective in vision, states that he took
card and made two fine pin holes, exactly in
the position of the centres of the pupils of his
eyes, and he found that he saw the true image
as correctly as ever he did in his life to use his
own words. ''it supplied the place Of pair of
spectacIes."
By making the pin holes larger or smaller, the
focal distance is increased or diminished proper
tionaby. In sunshine he can read at the natu-
raj focal distance, but with faint light there is
the common confusion of letters. A hattening
of the cornea won't explain this, he thinks the
cause to Ge " some want of contractillhy engen-
derod in old age in the iris" There is one Gu
rious fact which he has observed, viz, that fine
wire gauze, of ! so of an irch in diameter, in
meshcs, enables him. when worn close to the eye
to read small print with great facility, at the dis
tance of six inches, and when the meshes are
still closer he can seq The most minute objects

had the following anecdote from a gentle
man OF ver0ci'y:
A little boy in Connecticut, of remarkable &C.
rious mind and hb's, was ordinarily employed
about mechanics shop, where nearly all the
hunds were addicted to The common use of in
Oxlcuting liquors. The lad had imbibed tem-
perance principles, and, though often invited.
could not be induced TO partake with any of the
shops crew. Three or four Of the hardest drink
e 8 in the shop resolved to humble the lad, or at
least put his new notions to the test. They re-
solved to force dram of rum down his throat by
some means.
SeIzing an opportunity when he was left a.
lone in the shop with themselves, they invited
him 10 drink. H. refused They then told
him they should compel him. He remained
calm and unmoved. They threatened him with
violence. Still he neither seened angry nor at.
etnpied 10 escape, nor evincpd the least disPo-
ston to yield but Insisted that it was wicked,
ind he could not do it.
IHey IneH lalu nOlu OF nltn, n man at eacn
rm. while the third held the bottle ready to
force it into his mouth. Still their victim re
named meek amp firm. declaring that he had
never injured THEM, and never should, but that
God would be his friend and protector, however
'h"y might abuse him.
J he man who held the fatal hottie, up to that
moment resolute in his evil purposes, was SO
struck by the nonreslsting dignity and inno-
cence Of the lad, that, as he afterwards confess
ed almost with tears. he actually felt unable 10
raise his hand. Twice he assayed to lift the ia.
tai bottle, as he placed the nose of it in the
mouth of the innocent child, but his arm re
fused to serve him. Not The least resistance
was made in this stage of the proceeding, 9TH
erwise than by meek protesting look yet the
rngleader himself was overcome in his feelings
and gave over the attempt, declaring he could
not, and would not, injure such an innocent,
conscientious, good -natured boy.
Such is moral power. Such is the strength
by which evil may, sometimes at least, be over
