NIGHT SCENES AT LUCKNOW. These are
simply the day occurrences, which we're
followed by the long, dreary nights. We
would sit for hours expecting every mo-
ment to be attacked. Officers would
come round, and say, in a solemn manner,
" the Brigadier requests that you will be
particularly on the alert" Here and
there, by the gimmer of miserable
lamp, you observe the pale carn-worn ia
ces Of half dozen volunteers-one man
loading his musket, another looking at his
pistol, and third filing his cartridge
box. One of the party would presently
shoulder his musket and go off to stand on
sentry, while another dived down into our
mine, to see that the enemy were not get
ting under our house. Presently you
would hear the sudden cry Of the Gentry
calling out that the enemy were advanc-
ing" Then came the rattle of musketry,
followed by the cry Of y" turn out on all
sides. Now you hear the grape strike
against our batteries and earthworks the
musket bullets fly over in showers round
shot come through our walls; and loud
above all, you distinguish the sound of
the enemy's clsrions, and numberless bug
les blowing the advance" Now and
then, midst the roar of artillery you
could hear the elephants trumpeting as
as they were made to drag heavy guns
from position to position and the change
of direction of shot Immediately after
told plainly that the enemy had moved a
gun. We remained perfectly quiet too,
generally. so that they might not know
how many We mustered. We let them fire
away, and waited patiently to listen if
they were creeping through the long grass
that grew all around our entrenchments.
and strained our eyes to see in the dark
ness. Every now and then we fancied we
saw the figure of man, and then it
seemed as suddenly to disappear. Some.
times the moon, shining on the leaves Of
the castor-oil tree, used to look like mems
turbans, and more than once we we're in.
duced to fire at them. Every now and
then you heard orders given to load the
gunswith grape " over the 4" round shot" ["
and our men would be seen running for
hand grenadss, &C., to be all ready in case

The iniquty of the priesthood has repclled
them fran Christianity, and without heed
ing even Pagan morality, they have, in
general, abandoned themselves to all the
baser propensities Of the human heart.
Chicanery and intrigue, close designs and
crooked counsels regulate public affairs /;
and dissimulaton and deceit guile and
fraud, prevade all private business and all
social intercourse. Licentiousness abounds
and conjugal fidelity in either sex is rare.
Among the very eiite, men are found base
enough to consent to the guilt of their
wives for money, or for favor in high
places. The ordinary domestic habits and
arrangements Of all grades of society are
in certain respects too indecent to be ex-
pressed, and betokcn a people lost to all
roal virtue, and all genuine shame. In
public there are certain conventional re-
straints, " forms and visages of duty that
claim observance but publicity consti-
tutes the grovamen of every immoral act
and the only virtue that is current is
creature Of taste,a thing fsocial etiquette.
IT'S sad indeed, but It's true, that land
which is one of the fairest the sun shines
upon, and the very richest in trophies of
genius and in heroic recollections, in the
very land where the human heart has at
tanned its extreme corruption. and where
all Of those high qualities of the soul, which
fit men for liberty and for every noble en-
terprize, are the most completely withered
and powerless.
We are vain enough of our physical
greatness, but we do not adequately realize
the immense disparity between our moral
and intellectual condition and that of
Europeans generally and we are to apt
to attribute to them our modes of feeling
and thinking, and acting. Freemen born
and freemen bred, respiring mora and po-
litical truths every day of our lives, we
have come to believe that the great prin-
ciples Of government, which it took ages
to discover and elucidate. are quito self
evident. But let one of us come and learn
from the people here about these same in
tuitive truths. Law, he finds, instead of
being an authoritative expression of eter-
nal right, is an arbitrary mandate without
moral sanction. Order, instead of being
a regulation of Heaven and the first ueces-
sity of society, is an ordinance of kings
and an imposition of armies. Loyalty is
helpless submission to the strongest and
liberty is exemption from all civil con-
straints, and the privilege of every man to
make his own will prevail if by any means
he can. Morality is fashion, and relig-
ion ceremony and both are about as
much "honored in the breach as in the
observance"

FACTS IN LIFE.-The number Of living
men consists OF 1000 millions, who speak
1864 known languages, in which are 100
religions. The average age is 33s years.
A fourth of those who are born die before
the seventh year, the half before the seven
teenth year. OF 100 persons only six live
over sixty and of 1000 only one over 100
years, Among 500 one only lives 80
years. From this 1000 millions of men
81 900 die daily, every hour 1920, every
minute 80, every second l. Tall men
live longer than short ones. The female
sex has until the fifteenth year more vital
strength than the male sox, after this less
Marriages are to the bachelors and old
maids as rs to 100. Most marriages are
in the months of June and December.
Children born in the Spring are more vig-
orous than those born in other seasons.
Death and birth occurs more frequently in
the night than in the day. The more civ
ilized society, region and country, the
more vital strength, duration of life and
health. The more cleanliness, knowledge
of nature, industry, culture the less illness,
the longer the life. Where we find pure
air, cultivated manner of life, good water,
clean streets there We find no epidemics

From the Evening Post

DAD MoRToN's MINISTER, OR, How De.
B-BEcAME CoNvERTED.-Dad Morton,
in his " unconscious" moments sometimes
perpetrates joke. The following, rela-
ting to the convention of his pastor, really
merits preservation. give it in Dads
peculiar phraseology:
"The parson cum to our village when
I wos little feller. His first appearance
wos Aatterin' and his sarmons powerful
sarchin'. Everybody thought he alters had
been good Christian till Squire Brazee
cum to live next us. The Squire wos ed
dicated in the same school with the parson,
down at tho academy in -, and, Of
course, knowd all about his carrying ser.
He told the folks that the parson wos
wonderful bad boy in school, and that
them teachers Of his'n couldn't do nuthin'
with him. One morning during prayer
time, he stuck bent pin under Lum Sci
leck, an cen most gin him the lock,jaw.
Mister B, the schoolmastsr couldn't
stand no such actions as them, 20 hs
drawed him tight over bis knee, and gave
him such bastin' with the bat side of ~
ruler that he hatnt been able 6acksiide.

had to leave and blisve he's prsachin'
