THE WAR.

gained important advantages over the Rus

The loss was not less than 5000 on both
sides.
Since then two most important strategetic
movements have been effected by the Allies
with complete success. The first was the seiz-
ure and occupation of the Russian position on
the Tchcrnaya, which was effected with little
loss-the enemy retiring before the allied ad-
vance.
The other success was yet more important,
being the capture of Kertch, the destruction
of the Russian squadron and fortifcations
there. and the obtaining Of the entire posses
sion of the Sea of Azof, on the waters of
which the allies have now fourteen steamers.

expenditure--who tolls unrepininsly among
her well trained children, and presents them
morning and evening, in rosy health and
cheerfuness, as offerings Of love 10 her hus-
band-and seeks the improvement Of their
minds, rather than the adornment Of their
bodies-is the most exalted other seq. Be-
fore her shall the proudest dame bow her
jeweled head, for the bliss Of happy heart
dwelis with her forever.
If there is che prospect more dear to the
soul of man than another, it is that of meet
ing at the door his smiling wife and group

tired blood of an exhausted man, when he
hears the patter of many feet on the stairs
when young voices mix in glad confusion
and the youngest springs to his arms with a
