The DAY AFTER THE BATTLE.-A writer
thus describes the horrors Of the day sue
ceeding the sanguinary, battle of Eylau: :,
Such was the battle Of Eylau, fought in
the midst of piercing snow storm. Murat
was thuuderbolt on that day. But let the
enthusiast 90 over the scene on the morning
after the battle, if he would find a cure for
the love Of glory. Fifty t,co thousand men
lay piledacross each other, in the short space
of six miles, while the snow, giving back
the stain of blood, made the field look like
unto one great slaughter-house. The ,frosts
of a winter morning were all unheeded in
the burning fever of ghastly wounds, and the
air was loaded with cries of help, and groans,
and blasphemies and cursings. Six thousand
horses lay amid the slain, some stiff and cold
in death, others rendering the scene still
more awful by their shrill cries Of pain
The cold heavens looked down on this fallen
multitude, while the pale faces of the thous-
ands that were. already stiff in death, looked
still more appalling in their vast winding
sheet of snow. .Foemen had fallen across
each other as they had fought, and lay like
brothers clasped in the last embrace; while
dismembered limbs and disemboweled corpses
were scattered thick as autumn leaves over
the field. Every form of wound, and every
modification of woe were here visible. No
modern war had hitherto exhibited such CAT
mage, and where Murat's, cavalry had charg-
ed, there tho slain lay thickests' ,,.

Nor so PROFITABLE AFTER ALL.-In a
late debate in the Spanish Senate, it was
stated that since General Concba became
Governor-General of Cuba, not only has no
revenue been derived from it, but $54, ,OO0,-
600, have been required to supply its def
ciencies; that whereas, in 1858, when the
island was menaced by illibusters, the def.
cheney was 81, 100000, now, in profound
peace, the deficiency is $4,000, 900; and
that the expense of the Havana police has
increased from 240, 900 reals under Cover
nor.Gsneral Tacon to 1000, 900 reals under
Conchs.
If this be the fact, Cuba is Of very little
benefit to the Spanish Government, and the
sooner she gets rid Of it the better. When
it is clearly established, that instead Of being

cast her out till lifs shall cease to warm it.

KEEP YOUR SABBATH.-Be jealous on
this point. Whether you live in town OF
country, resolve not to profane your Sabbath,
or in the end you will give over caring for
your soul. The steps which lead to this are
regular. Begin with not honoring Gods
day, and you will not honor Gods house
cease to honor Gods book, and by and-by
you will give God no honor at all. Let any
one lay the foundation with no Sabbath,
and I am not surprising if he finishes with
the topstone of no God. 1t was remarka.
bic saying of Judge Hale, that of all persons
convicted of capital crimes while he was up
on the bench, he found few who did not con-
fess tnat they began their career of wicked
ness by neglect of the Sabbath.

To the Public

In answer to the numerous letters addressed

ton with that article Ter several years 1t
was invented by mc, and while put up under
my control and supervision, was universally
accepted by the publ C "a the best liniment in
the world. In 1854 L sold out my interest in
il to other parties, and since that time 1t has
passed through the hands of several persons
most of whom have been so Inscriptions rs
10 manufacture it of iniericr and cheap arti-
Giles, and thus to entirely q, strey its value as
a medical remedy, trusting tor success IN sell
ing it, to its former highly established rcputi'-
ton Its present proprictors have gone SO
far as to substitute other articles in lis com
position for those in the original prescription,
so that the Mustang Liniment now vended
possesses no one of the distinguishing charac-
teristcs OF the genuine article, as 1t was orig
inally invented and manufactured by me-
These parties to enable themselves with more
facility TO foist their worthless aud injurious
article on the public, use mig Ha"e as Its spon-
sor. calling it ''BRAGG's Mustang Linimcnt,
and cautioning the public to beware OF any
other Bragg's Imminent as an imposition
This is done with view of exciting prclu-
dice against "BRAGG's Arctic LINIMENr,' an
article more recently Invented 10y me, and
possessing all the virtues of the original Mus
tang, with some Improvements result OF
experience and later discoveries and manu-
featured by Bragg & Burrowes, which firm is
composed of my son, Oliver 7. Bragg and
Michael Burrowes. This article is superior in
many respects to the Mustang when it was
put up pure and in good faith, and is immea-
surably superior to the article now vended as
The Mustang Liniment. 1t is also the only
liniment manufactured to which my name is
appended by my authority or consent. In
conclusion / cannot hold myself responsible
for any of the evil results Of using the Mus
tang Liniment now vcnded, and especially
after this public disclaimer of any connection
with its proprietorship or manufacture.
Respectfully.
