they knew so little of that wise one of old who
was cradled in a Bethlehem Manager and who
he had mastered and slain but who sacrificed his
own life rather than ~jepardise the safety of others
But they had never looked to the East to see that
star, nor ever went to worship him. After
glancing for u moment at the thousands of cannon,
guns. swords, bayonets and g%littering sabres, we
turned to admire the precision Of the beautiful,
and still more beautifully arranged flowers within
the enclosure, we turned away wondering if the
deep deathly boomings would ever cease to dis
turb tho tranquil quiet, that other music would
reign there, and if ever those sabres would he
beat into pruning hooks and those cannon be
moulded into plowshares. From thence sc direct

dollars expended to keep alive the memory of the
dead, while beneath the very shadows of those
marble monuments little children sought for daily
bread, and hundreds were suffering for the actua
necessities of life. After wandering over many
acres of this last resting place of humanity, We
turned away to watch the steam-vessels ride tht

HORRORS OF WAR.
LETTER BY RUSSIAN SISTER OF MERCY.


The following is a translation OF n letter written

words! My God, what Il horror is was What
unnatural cruelty it is! In the nj ght between
Monday and Tuesday our men were ordered to dig
fresh trenches and throw up batteries, with a strong
force TO protect the workman, We were all night
prepared for attack, but it passed off quietly, and
the whole of Tuesday was calm and still. In the
evening all was again expectation. Every pre-
paratiOn was made. Several rows of mattresses
were laid on the ground; small tables were ar.
ranged with lights and writing materials upon
them. The attendants were placing heaps of lint,
bandages, dressings, short stearine candles, and
medicines upon a table. In one corner stood a
large Samoan Ia lamp kettle and near it two small
tables, with, small teapOts and cups. On the other
side was a table covered with brandy, wine, lem.
onade, tumblers ard wine glasses. The room is
nearly dark, 0nd n peculiar stiffness reigns around

IRELAND.-The exodus is coming back. Vast
numbers of our nomadic tribes, to whom we
thought Old Ireland had hidden a final adieu, are
.droppin hOmeward, and asking about "the cabin
door close by the wild wood" with n strong feel
ing of the immortality of tenant right. Puliti-
clans may be disposed to regard this as the advance
guard of the projected invasion; but, if they are
connected in any way with the promoters Of that
scheme, we should say that they belonged to the
commissariat, for they come unarmed. No revolt

H LEAVES.
for tho nnrle

A leaf from the Dough in the early Autumn
Fhuttered and fell;
All her sisters still left hanging
Sighed-ah we'll
We grieve for our hapless sister dying,
But som like her we must all be lying
And since ere long we must pass away
Let u.s. while be glad and gay.
So they dressed themselves in festal garments
OF crimson and gold;
And forgot hO om'ng of winter,
With its storm aud cold;
And forgot their hapless sister lying
Under the parent branches dying;
But gaily danced each sunny day
In every zephyr that came that way.
Eut there came a blast from The northern heaven
i- One stormy night;
And it wildly walled through the old trees branche
Till they shook with fright.
I passed next morn the leaves were lying
Beside their hapless sister dying;
Strewn on the earth SO wet and cold
In their festal garments Of red aud gold!

CHIMES FOR H TIMES.
BY WILLIAM LYLE.

Be not Jealous overmuch,
But hope and time will make you better;
There is q faith care cannot touch,
Which leaves the soul without a fetter.
o! it is but a sorry creed,
To look for nothing but dcceiving-
To meet a kindness in your need
With a smile of misbelieving!
The tide of i'll is not so strong
Man loves not always wrath and wrong.
1t cannot be that every heart
Is steeled go much against its n~eighbor;
Let each with reason play his part,
And fruit will spring from out the labor;
Progressing still life's journey through,
Be just and kind towards your fellow,
Remembering, whate'er you do,
That duty spreads the smoothe,t pillow;
And ne'er the hand of friendship .purn,
But trust, and man will trust in turn.
Som men there be, who deem it good,
In trade, to overreach a brother;
And some who would not, though they could,
Upraise a hand to help another;
They deem not, though convul,ions wide
May show the earth by danger shaken,
That still of hearts unjust through pride,
A dark and true account is taken;
Kingdoms may quake, and thrones may fall,
But God is looking over all.
o. join not then the strifes OF men,
But hourly show, by waxing kinder.
That ye have reached the moment when
Reason no more is growing blinoer!
And though ye hope that time should yield
A change for each benigbted nation,
Seek not at first so wide q field,
To fling the seeds of reformation;
But SOW them first in hearts at home,
Then trust in God, and fruit will come.

That never'll do young man! No use to stand

say that everything goes against you. You are
not Of half the consequence that your talk would
lead us to believe. The world hasn't declared war

From the China Mail, Nov. Is.
THE COOLIE TRADE WHOLESALE MAS
SACRE,

The atrocities Of the Coolie trade from China
have excited universal indignation, both among
those who know they are generally the result of
ignorant or brutal management, and others who
understand nothing about the trade, and make no
distinction between hired Coolies who are treated
as slaves and voluntary emigrants who pay for
their own passage. But all former instances have
been outdone by a wholesale massacre, of which
accounts have just been received.
The horrible tale may he briefly told The Wa
verify, an American ship Of $50 tons, recently sail
ed from Annoy with 442 Coolies for Havana or Cal
ture; the first mate, in command of the vessel,
brought her to Manila, for the purpose of procu.
ring another officer to take his place. On anchor
ing at Cavite it would appear tho mate had alarm
ed the Captain of the port about the sanitary CON
dition of the ship, which prevented free intercourse
with her; and as, besides the Captain, one of the
Coolies had died, the prejudices of the Chinese
were offended at the mode in which the burial was
about to be conducted, or at some other unexpluin'
ed treatment of the dead bodies. But the only
explanation accorded to them was the mates lift
ing a revolver and shooting down one or more OF
their number, the rest being driven without diff
cl y below and made secure under matches
without any precantion, or apparently any
thought. about ventilation. The mate thereafter
attended the Captains funeral, and spent the day
on shore; and it was not until after midnight tina
the agents of the ship, who may till then have
| Dtpn utltNuTc now tue nlllteT SUDDu, look alufm
and insisted that the mate should then ascertain
the state of his human freight: and SO. AT 2 o'clocl
next morning, twelve hours after the matches hl(
been put on, they were removed to discover tina
two hundred and %ffty-one of the Coolies were life
less corpses. F~orty-ive more are missing, leavin,
only ore hundred and ~forty-six, of whom severa
are not likely to survive.
The mate and crew have been imprisoned by tn,
Spanish authorities, and, it is said that the Unite,
States consul declines 70 take any cognizance 0
the matter.
Other Coolie ships have recently left China unde
circumstances that afford ground for apprehension
that they may not complete their voyages withou
disaster. In connection with this subject (which
has not hitherto been treated as slave.dealingl w
may mention that tire Governor of Macao has i'm
prisoned two Portuguese subj cts charged witt
buying Chinese girls, chiefly at Ningpo, for the Pun
pose of exporting them to Havana in short, wit
slave-dealing.

MURDER OF CHINEsE.-A letter from Manila to
ElwoodW Walter states that290Co Jlies were murdered
on board OF the ship Wormly. 1t seems that the
slight mutiny of the Coolies had been effectually
quelled, after the firing of n few shots and the kill
ing of two or three of their leaders the remain
ing having retreated below, and the matches being
fastened down upon them.
Subsequently, owing to remonstrances from the
agent of the vessel the matches were removed when
it was found that 900 were dead. Part of them, AS
was proved on examination, had been scalded by
hot water, which had been poured down the matches
by order Of Capt. French. The officers of the
ship are in prison, awaiting a judicial examin.
