Feeling on the Battle Field.

The Crimea correspondent of the New
York Sun, writing from BalakIava,
gives, hom the experience of q wounded
Frenchman, an opinion with regard to
that which is felt bv the soldier in con.
flict, which is something as follows:
Before the battle begins it is usual 10
feel no little tremor, and many cheeks,
which are known to be in communica.
ton with stout hearts, blanch visibly.-
AS the conflict becomes imminent, cour.
age returns, and with the first flow OF
blood an enthusiasm is raised which con.
stantly increases, and very seldom flags
in the least, until the last sho, is fred
The effect Of seeing comrade shot down
is generally TO excite an unappeasable
thirst for vengeance against the foe,
though in the end one "gels used 10 it"
" hen wounded less than MORALLY, it
is not usual for tho soldier to be imme.
diately aware Of the fact, unless some
bones are broken. A sabre may be run
through any neshy part Of the body, and
even bullet lodge in dangerous proxm.
ity to the vitals, and he for some time
be totally unconscious OF even scratch.
When life is taken by single blow, the
effect is varied with the nature Of the
wound, as we'll as with the temperament
Of the man. Sometimes the poor fellow
will leap high in The air, giving p.erc.
ing scream, and again he will lie down
quietly. Ofener, however he simply
falls dead without a struggle. In mos.
cases the features Of the killed remain
unchanged for long time after death
eyes open and riliant, and, perchance,
smile Illuminating the face. TO sec
such an one it is Difficult, indeed to re.
alze the presence of the grim monster,

sixteen years old She stood beside tho
wush.tub when her twenty fifth birthday
arrived. The hair, the eyes and the lips
were not calculated 10 excite the heart.
Five cross young ones were abou, tho
room, crying, some breaking things, and
one urging the immediate supply Of Jho
lacteal secretion. She stopped in des.
pair, nnd sat down, and tears trickled
down her once plump and ,uddy cheeks.
Alas Nancy, early marriages are not
the dodge. Better enjoy youth at home
and hold lovers OF a distance, until you
have limi,, muscle and heart, to face The
lrownns world and family. lf chap
really cares for you, he can wait two or
three years, make presents, take you 10
concerts, and so on, until the time
comes. Early marriages and early cab.
bages are tender products"

Abolition Wit,

w. L. Garrison. President OF the Alb.
olilion Convention held in New York
lately, is reported to have used the fol-
lowing choice and witty expressions in
one OF his many speeches -
The popular religion OF our commu.
nifty is as high as the morality Of tho New
York Herald, and tho morality OF the
New York Herald is as higl' as the pop.
uar religion Of communicating ghisr,
applause and hisses)--and therefore al.
iinities will meet and that accounts
for the anxiety which the Herald shows
for the maintenance Of our institution.
Mr. Bennett is very religious man -
(laughter) take it that his religious
experience is somewhat ukin to that of
the Old lady, who was asked by the dea.
con of her church, "Sisler, how do you
feel in your soul to-day ?" "Why, dea.
con, | feel as If we're lying in the bo.
som Of Beelzebub." (laughlef) "Oh
no, sister," said the deacon, "you do
not mean that" "Wcll." said she, 81
mean some one OF the old patrarchs,
and do no! care which," (sughter)-
| think Mr.. Benefits ideas of worship
are not unlike those Of Mrs. Par,ingion,
who told her little boy Ike, pointing TO
church over the way-"1'Iiat is where
the Gospel is dispensed with" (Con.
tinued laughter.) However, Mr.. Ben.
nett is not the worst Of men. (Cheers
and hisses.) | take it tina, he is com.
parativcly nearer the kingdom Of Heaven
than is Nehemiah Adams Of Boston, or
President Lord Of Dartmouth College,
There is hopo for him, for James Cor.
don Bennett, for you know that
"While the lamp holds out TO burn,
TIE viest snncr may return" Loud laughter.
There is hope for him, but none for
them. (Great laughter.)

Physical Beauty and Moral Evil.

alt is most awful" said DR.. Arnold,
when sitting above the beautiful. Lake
OF Como, in Swilzerland,- lit is almost
awful to look at the overwhelming beau.
ty around me, and then think of the
moral evil. 1t seems as il heaven and
hell, instead Of being separated by a
great gulf from one another, were abso.
lutely on each others confines, and in.
deed not very far from every one Of US.
Might the sense Of moral evil be os
strong in me as my deli hit in external
beauty; for in deep sense Of moral evil,
more perhaps than anything else, abides
a saving knowledge Of God 4! 1t is not
so much 10 admire moral good; that we
may do, and yet be not ourselves con.
formed TO it. But il we do really abhor
that which is evil-not the persons in
whom evil resides, but the evil which re.
sides in them, and much more manifest,
ly and certainly to our own kno wledge,
in our own hearls-this is to have the
feeling of God and Christ, and 10 have
our spirit in sympathy with the Spirit Of
God"

before sun.laIl he spied the chiehain with
two OF his clan, vending onwards 10.
ward the base of the hill. A few min.
utes more, ond they would reach point
within the range Of his bow. His prac.
ticed eye measured The distance, and his
heart throbbcd with fierce, dark emo.
ton, rs he put the shaft 10 the thong,
and drew it, with strong arm, 10 his ear.
With whiz, the arrow sped from the
bow, and cleft the air with the speed Of
light, while wild shout burst from the
lips of the young archer. His anxiety,
it would seem, did not suffer him TO
wait till his foe had come within range
of his arrow, for il snnI; quiveling into
the earth at the foo, of him for whose
heart ii was aimed. The, shout and the
shaft alike warned the Cumyns that dan.
ger was nigh, and not knowing by what
numbers they might be assaiIcd, they
plunged into the heather on the hill side,
and were quickly lost TO the sight. But
the young pan watched with the keen.
ness Of an eagle, and his sense seemed
intensified with the terrible desires of
vengeance that consum'd Inn. At length,
just where the little stream falls from the
hill, the form of man became visible
standing out from the sky, now bright
with the last light Of the setting sun
With strong effort, the young man
mastered the emotion Of his heart, as
the gambler become calm, ere he throws
the cast upon which he has staked his
all. The bow is strained TO its utmost,
the eye ranges long the shaft from the
feather tn the barb, it is shot forth as if
winged by the very soul of him who i'm.
PEELED it. One moment OF breathlcss
suspense, and in the next the chief Of
the Cumyns falls headlong into the
stream, pierced through the bowels by
the deadly weapon.

Scottish Revenge.

A LONG time ago, when the powerful
clan of the Cumyns were lords of halfthe
country round, the chief Of that clan
slew neighboring chieran, with whom
he had q leud for leuds in those days
were as easily found as blac kberries,
and qua,rels might be had any day in
the year for the picking. He that was
slain had, at the time Of his death. an
only child, an infant, Of the name Of
Hugh. The widow treasured deep with.
in her heart the hope Of vengeance, which
the daily sight of her son, recalling by
his features, the memory Of her slaugh.
tered husband, kept ever awake. With
the first opening Of his intellect, he was
instructed in the deed that made him
(atherless, and taught to look forward
to avenge his parent as holy obligation
cast upon him and so, with his strength
and his stature, grew his resolution to
take the life OF him who had slain
his father. He spent his days in the
woods practising archery, till at length
he became most expert bowman.-
None could send a shaft with so strong
an arm, or so true an aim, as Hugh
Shenigan; and the eagle or the red dee
was sure to fall beneath his arrow, wher
tho one was soaring too high in the air
or the other fleeing too swiftly on th'
hill, for ordinary woodcraft. But it wa
not the eagle or the deer that kept Hug
lin the forest, and upon tho mountains

A Summer Morning in the Country

How sweetly on the hill side sleeps
The sunlight with its quckenlng rays!
The vcrdant trees that crown the sleeps,
Grow greener in lis quiverlng blaze;
While on the air that round us floats
With subtle wing, brealhes only life
And, rising with thousand notes,
The woods with song are rife.
Why, this is natures holiday!
She puts her gay9sl mantle on
And sparkling O. 'er their pebbly way,
With gladder shouts the brookiels run;
The birds and breezes seem to give
A sweeter cadence 10 their SONG
A brighter light the insects live,
That float in light along.
"The cattle on thousand hills"
The Aeecy flocks tina, dot The vale,
All Joy alike in life. that fills
The air, and breathes IN every gale!
And who that has heart and eye
TO feel the bliss and drink it in,
But pants, for scenes like these, to fly
The city's smoke and din
A sweet conpanionsbip to hold
With nature in her forest bowers,
And learn the geltle lie sson told
Py singing birds and opening flowers!
Nor do they err who love her lore
Though books have power to stir the heart,
Yet Natures varied page can more
OF rapturous joy impart
