ENGLAND's DANGER.

The London Times is furious against the
apathy coupled thdnplicity, (which British
Ministers are manifesting in the present cri-
sis in England's history. With great truth
it says that neither Louis Napoleon nor
British Ministers can afford to Withdraw
their forces from the Crimea short of victo-
y:..
England cannot afford this downfall, nor
can the Emperor of the French. His throne
rests on opinion. Herepresents his people.
He is of their election; he is their idol, their
voice; and, SO long as he prospers, their
pride. Should his legions, return with moth
ing to show for their campaigns but an
enormous bill of costs and list of killed and
wounded, he will have to fight harder
battle at homo than his generals have been
doing in the Crimea.
But there is not even safety for a nation
such as ours when she once begins to recede,
for when our tide no longer flows it will be-
gin to ebb. The battle we are now fight
ing at Sebastopol WI shall, before long, have
to fight nearer home. If we confess our in.
capacity for war. One place is much the
same as another in these days, and to be
beaten in the Crimea is the same thing as
to be heaten all over the world. There is
no such thing as geographical reputation,
and man may as well expect to enjoy a
character for probity in one place, which he
does not in another as TO have military
reputation restricted to certain longiiudes.
We have to secure not only the fear Of an
enemy that is distant, but the respect Of an
ally that is very near, and of neighbors that
are also within reach. Even now, when we
press Austria to take the side of honor and
advantage, she taunts US with the smallness
of our contributions to the war, and tells
us that we are not in condition to ask the
aid of others while we do so little ourselves.
This, at least shows the spirit we have to
dea! with, and it is a spirit that will be ready
enough to assume the aggressive should the
occasion ever occur. We have to teach not
only Russia, but the whole of Europe. and
the whole world, to respect us--notfor num-
bers, not for our home territory, not even for
the number of men we can bring into the
field, but for our evident determination to
fight out, at every hazard and cost, the cause
we have once embraced.

TESTIMONY oFHisToRY.

Amidst all the deep sorrows of humanity
during the sad conflict which was protract-
ed through centuries for the overthrow OF
the past and the reconstruction Of society,
the idea Of an incarnate God carried peace
into the bosom of mankind. That faith
emancipated the slave, redeemed the captive,
elevated the low, lifted up the oppressed,
consoled the wretched, inspired alike the
heroes of thought and the countless masses.
The down trodden nations chung to it as to
the certainty of their future emancipation.
From the time That this truth Of the Triune
God was clearly announced, he was no
longer dimly conceived as remote and
shaJowy casualty; but appeared as all
that is good and beautiful and true as good.

universe, as the paracle,e aud the Comfort

was irradicable. 1t spread as widely, as
swiftly and as silently as light, and the idea
Of God with us dwelt and dwells in every

success-in every soul that signs for re.

GARDENING AND FLOWERS.

The Newburyport Herald gives the fol-
lowing excellent advice on much neglect
ed subject If our country women could
be induced to reflect upon the subject of
horticulture with half the sagacity they en-
ploy in topics of household concerns, they
would require no persuasion to cultivate this
most refining and beautiful of occupations,
which, akin to poetry, is its own sweet re-
ward:
Gardening was the first employment of
man, and now it is most agreeable and
healthy. Anciently it was estimated the
second Of the fine arts, ranking next to
architecture. Now, il should be the second
thought Of every family the home that
shelters, first the garden for pleasure and
profit next. 1t is favorite occupation for
a leisure hour to every man, giving to those
who have a taste for the beautiful and the
valuable delight with gains and it should be
favorite occupation for every woman, who
should have her plants, and flowers, and
shrubs, giving her employment in the open
air for an hout or Two every day.
Our American women grow old and die
befne their time for want Of out door exer.
else, which can be better afforded in the
garden than elsewhere. 1t is a pity they
couldsnoi learn something of their English
cousin in this matter. The increasing in
icrest taken in horticultural matters, as wit
messed in the exhibitions, is hopeful sign
in the community. The gardens Of the
wealthy, filled with choice fruits and beau
tifui fo%ers, and the nurseries and vege-
tables Of those who make gardening bu-
siuess have greatly improved the last ten
years but where land is so plenty and at
tached to nearly every dwelling, there are
advantages and profits and pleasure in a
garden that the poorest may enjoy with the
man Of leisure. Train the vines upon the
sunny side Of your houses, dig up the little
patches by your doors, rear the trees, and
grow the vegetables, and nurse the flowers.
Their fragrance will be at your windows ;
the birds will come and sing for You; the
melon. the plum, the pear, the apple will be
in their season; and how delightful, morn
ing and evening, with wife and children and
friends, to mark the growth OF vegetation
which may be gathered in the fall for sup
port in winter!

The Compliant and the Sugar-Cane.
BY q picture on The corer of a Magazine
The Corn Plant and the Sugar Cane,
Over full many stored field,
And many a soldiers grave.
Our eastern slopes and western plains
Rejoice in golden grain,
And rich with sweets in southwark lands
Rises the graceful Cane.
Beautiful embIems are they both
OF usefulness and sweetness,
Each ROBBED in beauty side by side,.
Each giving each completeness.
While dear delish with labor dwelis,
While fitness weds with beauty,
While toll and hope 60 hand in hand,
While peace close follows duty,
While in iniIssoiuble bonds
The virtues all unite,
While all fair hues that deck the>bfow
Blend in the perfect white
Still let the myriads combine
That crowd our wide spread land.
And North and South. and East and West,
True TO each other stand.
The Indian Corn and Sugar Cane,
As emblems of our Union,
Are pretty, but we can't for that,
With slavery hold communion.
We love our Union dearly, but
Love truths and mercies better,
The immortal spirit of the law
Ou,lives the killing letter.
Brave men have fallen South and North
To glorifv our nation,
But by their names to sanction shames
Is downright defamation. 4
Our hastv-puddng we can eat
Without the southern sweetness,
Though true il is that mush without
Molasses wants completeness
Well try with all our might and main
To keep the house together,
Whatever stormy winds may blow
Through toughest spells of weather;
But if our brothers break the chain
Wen hang by our own staples,
Three cheers well raise for Indian Corn,
And nine for Sugar Naples.

FEELING ON THE BATTLE FIELD.-The
Crimea correspondent of the New York Sun
writing from Balaklava. gives, from the ex-
perence OF a wounded Frenchman, an opin-
ion with regard to that which is felt by the
soldier in the time of conflict, which is some
thing as follows:
Before The battle begins, it is usual to feel
no little tremor, and many cheeks, which are
known to be in communication with stout
hearts banch visiby. As the conflict be-
comes imminent, courage returns, and with
the frs, flow Of blood an enthusiasm is rails
ed which constantly increases, and very sci.
dom flags in the least until the last shot is
fired. The effect of seeing comrade shot
down is generally to excite an inappeasable
thirst for vengeance against the foe, though
in the end one "gets used to it," When
wounded less than mortality, it is not usual
for the soldier to be Immediately aware Of
the fact, unless some bones are broken. A
sabre may be run through any feshy part
of the body, and even bullet lodge in dam
gerous proximity TO the vitals, and he, for a
long time. be totally unconscious of even a
scratch. When life is taken by a single blow
the effect varies with the nature of the wound
as well as with the temperament of the man.
Sometimes the poor fellow will leap high in
the air. giving piercing scream. and again
he will lie down quietly. Oftener, however,
he simply falls dead without struggle. In
most cases the features of the killed remain
unchanged for long time after dea.h-eyes
open and brilliant, and, perchance. smile
Illuminating the face. To see such an one
it is difficult indeed to realize the presence
Of the grim monster, Death.
