the struggle which was going on along
those bloody heights.
AFTER THE FIGHT.
In ever bush-on every yard of the
blood stained ground-lay a dead or
dying Russian. The well-known bear
skins of our Guards, the red coats of
our INFANTRY, and the bright blue of the
FrenehsC hasseurs, revealing each a 81
lent horror in the glades, and making
the spot where stark and stiff a corpse
lay contorted on the grass, pointed out
the scenes of the bloodiest contests
The dead were happy@tho dull, cold

opeaipgflips, which had given escape to
the tparting spirit as it fed from its
bleeding shell, showed how peaceful a
man may die in battle, pierced by the
rife ball. The British and the French
many of whom had been murdered by
the Russians as they lay wounded, wore
terrible frowns on their facee, with which
the agonies of death had clad them
Some in their last threes had torn mp
the earth with their hands, and held the
grass between their fingers up towards
heaven. All the. men who exhibited
such signs of painAhad been bayoneted.

smile on their lips had been shot.

But the wounded. For two days
they had lain where the hand and the

soldiers had been found in his lair and
carried to the hospital. But the Rus
