Adam Writ stopped not to hear more,
for in the person Of the patriot thus point

and springing quickly forward, hc caught
the wounded man in his arms.
Those who stood around and saw this
meeting, and they knew the aged father
was blessing hiSSon. Louder swcllcd the

that such pleasure might be his. None

The Unseen battlefield.

There is an unseen battlefield
IN every human breast.
Where two opposing forces meet,
But where they seldom rest.
That field is vcilcd from mortal sight,
'Tis only seen by one
Who knows alone where victory lies,
When each days fight is done.
One army clusters strong and fierce,
Their chief Of demon form;
His brow Is like the thunder cloud,
His voice the bursting storm.
His captains, Pride, and Lust, and Hate,
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest point,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contcnding with this mighty force
j. but little band;
Yet there with an unquailing front,
Those warriors firmly stand!
Their leader is of God-lke form,
Or cOuntenance serene;
And glowing on his naked breast
a simple cross is seen.
His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love,
Point 10 that wOndr0us sign;
And gazing on it, all receive
Strength from source divine.
They feel il speaks glorious truth,
truth rs great aS sure,
That 10 be vict0rS they must learn
To love, conide, endure.
That faith sublime, in widest strife,
lmparts holy calm;
For every dcndlv blow shield,
For every wound balm.
And when they win that battlefield,
Past toll is quito forgot;
The plain where carnage once had rcigncd
Becomes Il llallowcd spot.
a spot where flowers Of joy and peace
Spring from the fertile sod,
And breathe the perfume Of their praise
On every brccze-to God.

Sweet roses to wear,
Two buds for thy bosom
And one for thy hair;
I've brought thee new ribands
Thy beauty to deck,
Light blue for thy love waist,
And white for thy neck.
Oh, bright is the beauty
That wuoS thee tonight;
But brighter affection,
And lasting as bright.
I've brought thee what's better
Than ribands or rose
a heart that will shield thee
Whatever wind blows!

\ WINTER TALE.-County Court was

lie looked cold, and half pcrambulatcd
the circle that hcmmcd in the fire, as with
wall of brass, looking for n chance to
warm his Shins. Nobody moved, howcv-
cr; and unable to sit down for lack of n

against the wall "wth tears in fists and
eyes doubled up" and listened to the dis.
cusslon Of the proper way Of serving
referee on n warantcc deed, as If he was
the judge to decide the matter. Soon he
attracted the attention Of the company,
and young sprig spoke to him:

A Battle Incident

At the battle Of the Thames n lau0hable
incident occurred, which is thus related
by one who was in the engagement:
The British general had formed hIE
men in open Ordert with their cannon
pointing down the road, by which the
Americans were advancing. Gen. IIar-
riSon Immediately took advantage of this
and ordered Col. JOhnsOn's mounted rces
imcnt to charge at speed by heads Ofcoln.
pnnics, ESQ as to expose tho least posSibla
front, pass through the open intervals am
form in the rear Of the British fOrccs.-
This movement was brilliantly executed
by the battalion under the command Of
Lieut.. Col. James johnson, his brother,
Col. X. NJ johnson, at the Same timC
charging the Indians with the other bNt-
TALON.
1t happened that in one of the GONNA.
mics under James JOhnson'S command.
there was huge, brawncy fellow named
Lamb; he weighed about 24O lbs, was q
brave man, and as good d-humorcd as big
brave men provcrbially are. Lamb lad
broken down his Kentucky horse by his
great weight and was mounted instead
upon short, stout, wild Canadian pOny.
from whose sides his long limbs depended
almost to the ground, while his bulky
frame rose high above the beast, looking
not unlike an ovcrgrown boy astridc of
rough sheep.
When the charge was made Lamb'Sp0s
ny took fright and broke into a rum
Lamb pulled until the bit broke in tho
animals mouth, and all command Of him

self to the work, dashed out of the ranks,
soon outstrippcd all the file leaders, and
rushed on in advance Of the COMPANY
Lamb was no longer master of his horse
or himself, and he was in quandary. II
he rolled off he would be trnmpled to
death by his friends; il the horse rushed
upon the British lines with him, SO far
ahead Of the rest, he must DO Killed.
Either way seemed inevitable, and, to use
his expression, hc thought "hc'd jst say
something they could tell his friends in
Kentucky when they went home"
lie stuck both heels into tho pOnv's
flank and urged him to his utmost speed.
On they drove, some fifty yards in front
of the leading file. lambs gigantic person
Swaying from side to side 8nd his legs
swinging in n most portcntous fashion
the little Canadian pulling foot" all no
knew how, his tail straight, his nostrils
diStcncd, his cars pinned back and his
eyes flashing from under their shaggy
forctop, with all the spite and spleen Of .
born devil. just as he got within stride
or two of the British, Lamb tiourishcd his
rifle and roarcd out in voice of thunder:
"ClcOr the way, for am coming"
To his surprise the line opcncdright and
left, and he passed through unhurt. So
great was their Nstonishmcnt at the singu-
lar apparition of such a rider, and such
horse moving upon them, with furious
velocity, that they opened mechanically at
his word Of command and let him paSS.-
So soon as he gained the rear Of their pO-
sition, Lamb rolled on the grass and sui.
fered his pony to 60 on his own road. A
few minutes more, and he was with his
comrades securing their prisoners.
