At last, we have some encouraging
news from the seat OF war. Turkey
seems able to dispense entirely with tho
useless armies which England and
France have landed In various parts Of
Turkey remote from the sert OF war.

dIcrs to do anything but deycor the
stores Of the eommissarias. and die Of
fever Of the country. Having long sue

Russians, exhibiting degree Of cour-
age and gallantry which will hardly be
suppressed by their allies. u they should
ever get to smell gun powder. they have
At length. compelled the enemy to raIse
the seige. and retire across the Danube.
This is the greatest achievement Of The
war. aud will cause thrill Of delight
wherever In the world there is huter
OF Russia injustice.
The continued success Of the Turk
ish arms can hardly be regarded witt
satisfaction BY the Allied Powers. Tn,

on quietly and steadily, defeating ,h'
enemy in every cngag while tn

been endesyorlng to recover from th'
fatigues and suiferings Of sea voyage
lin tho camps at GaIlipoli and Constan
tinople. Az Turkey has shown be

English and French exchequres may b

glorious return o! their soldiers, with

THE SUMMER is ENDED.-In commenting upon
the eventful summer from which we have just
emerged, the N. Y. Mirror says that cit has
been a hard and hot one. Fires, failures, disease
and death, have brought losses and mourning
to thousands-the calamity of short crops and
high prices makes the poor man look anxiously
to the coming winter. Many who began the
season in the funess of health and beauty, have
perished with the early flowers, and hundreds
who went abroad decked in the gay colors Of joy
and hope are now robed in the sombre attire of
grief and mourning. Autumn has come to
many heart, even in the spring-time of life,
and the earth has become to thousands Of its pill
grims literally the valley Of the shadow of
death. They who have passed through this
trying season unscathed by sickness or misfor-
tune-whom the Death Angel has not even
brushed with his wings, should make their lives
a hymn of thanksgiving to the Infinite God who
has dealt with them so gently and graciously.
Instead Of looking on the dark side of the fu-
ture, they should look up in grateful confidence
to the Reaper whose sickle has left them to
flourish little while longer in the field of time
while thousands, ITS rtliI of lifa ond health and
promise as they, have been cut down and With
cred in an hour.
