The Spade and the Sword.

If what the scriptures say of beating
swords into plowshares is not being liter
ally accomplished, (more literally, pei
haps, than really, at this moment in the
Crimca, it is simply because the Russian
engineers are not up to the ways in which
the Yankees grade their streets, raise their
railroad embankments, or in fact remove
masses Of earth for any purpose whatever.
The London Times announces it, In Ill So
berness, that the spade is necessarily a
more potent weapon, both with the besieg-
ers and the miles en- miles of trenches, with
the throwing Up of ehotthGts cbrrsspCnd.
ing earthwork, occupies the whole strength
of both the allies and their enemies. In
fact everything Of former days seeths re:
versed. Whole regiments are only pre-
served from being put under ground as
dead men, by putting the earth above
them while living, and thus, paradoxically
enough, they keep out Of their graves by
jumping into them.
AT Fort Brown, opposite 6tatamoras;
General Taylor raised his bomb-proof de-
fences, by throwing up earth-works, of suf-
ficient thickness, on the top of his -four II
pork barrels, with hollow places betwcen;
where his men could lie untouched by
even the bombs and other vertical shot that
might bury themselves in the earth and
burst over their heads In the same way
now the Russians are not content with get
ting behind their earthwOrks, they literal
ly burrow into them 1t is earth beneath,
earth at the sides, and earth above They
have even dug in the ground, funnel
mouthed pits in front Of every burrow,
down into which each bomb-shelf rolls as
it falls, and there it too is buried alive,
and kept by earth from molesting the mem
on the only exposed side The war seems
to be rather between tile guns than the
men, and to choke their open iron mouths,
to disable their stauncheon arms, to wound
and break the wooden limbs Of their car
riages. These are now the recorded feats
of each days work !; SO MANY gans silenc-
ed, SO inahy tons of hollow and solid shot
fired, so much powder expended. And it
is the recoil of all this expenditure that is
going to kill more than the guns at last
to destroy the nations that fire them.--

Bursts of Eloquence.

The following burst Of eloquence was de-
livered before court of justice in Penn
sylvania =
"Your honor sits high on the adorable
seat of justice, like the Asiatic rock of
Gibralter; while the eternal rivers Of ner'
cy, like the cadaveroas of the valley, flows
meandeting at your feet"
The following is the commencement ofa
speech of lawyer in New Jersey:
"Your honors do not sit there like mar
BILE statutes to be waited about by every
idle breeze. .,.t
Another orator thus commenced his har-
angue ::
"The important crisis which were about'
to arrive have arroyen."
Another then expatiated:
"The court will please to- observe that
the gentleman from the east has given them
very learned speech. lie has roamed
with old Rmulous, socked with old Soc
rates, ripped with Euripides, and canted
with old Cantheridcs, out'with yOurhonor,
does he know about the laws Of Wisconsin" !"
Extract from the argument Of a.young
lawyer before aMississippi Justice:
"May it please the court--I would rath-
err live thirteen hundred. centuries on the
small end of thundorbolt -chaw'the rag
ged end Of fash Of lightning swallow
the corners of Virginia worm fence, and
have my bowels toru outbya green briar,
than to be thus bamboozlcd by the gentle
man.: N

"24th.-I am getting deeply involved,
I fear. Have borrowed FIVE hundred Of
my cousin, must return it in three months.
A bad beginning. And Annie must have
her shawl; if I told her all, perhaps she
would be contented with those she has al
ready; but cannot gather the courage.
When think of it, in her presence, am
a very coward. must borrow still more
and trust to fortune. How guilty and
how cowardly I seem to myself! Oh
Annie, | wish I was more worthy of you,
sweet wife-for your sake would I had a
mine of gold!"
For moment Annie closed the book.
Tears filled her eyes, and her good, gencr-
GUS heart ached for her erring husband.
"He shall see," she murmured, rising as
she spoke, "that l am no vain, selfish crea-
ture."
Instantly throwing on her graceful bon.
net and shawl, that, though not quite
fashionable, was still very elegant, she sci
forward to the splendid store of M. Gerry.
the popular upholsterer."
~ am very sorry" exclaimed the po
lite clerk, before Annie had chance to
speak, "that could not send my men TO-

"It is no matter" replied Annie, 81

"It shall be directly; you wished or

Annie, assuming a careless manner, "a

carpeting yet, when I do I can give you
CALL"
"Certainly, certainly. madam, just a

bowed her out.
