IHE HORRORS OF SOLFERINo.-Dcod Uen
IN Heaps The Quick and the Dead oil HyH-
died I9gethcr-Io'1ching Story Of t,co Boys.-
The plain of Guidizzoio is really horrible
to look upon. Even so late as Yesterday
the dead were not all buried. They were
to be seen in groups of twenty and thirty.
huddled together in one spot where n
shell had exploded or the Chasseurs II AZ.
rique had passed. Allstill maintained the
attitude in which death had struck them
down.
Here was one with uplifted arm to ward
off the blow which had split open his
skull, and splashed his brains far and near.
Close by was another, with his hand upon
his breast shivered and rent bv the Crane.
Another seemed to be smiling, as if in
mockery OF the grim warriors approach.
Some were lying upon their backs, with
faces turned towards heaven, and prayers
still seeming to linger upon their lips.
Further on, there was Hungarian, who
had thrust his clothes into a ghastly wound
near the heart. At his left was Tyrolese
with the unused cartridge between his
teeth. TO the right, Croat had his head
cut off by ball, and the head was bv his
side, with his horrible ewes, glaring and
leering, as it seemed, at the dismembered
body.
Two young lads of certainly not more
than sixteen, were lying in each others
arms. Death had surprised them in that
attitude or, perhaps, feeling themselves
about to die, they had clung together in q
last embrace, and had fallen thus never to
rise again. Upon the body of a Bohemi.
an officer we noticed dog, waiting sp-
Garently for his master to get up! =
| We had not the heart to call off the
faithful animal by word or gesture, for
we felt sure that God would reward the
devotion of this poor dumb creature, so
touchingly shown amidst the carnage
which man had waged against his fellow
man.
On every side it was the same. Death,
in his most horrible and CHASTITY form,
glared at us, no matter where we gazed.

Jump any more fences But Bunce soon
found the sheep back again so he caught
him. and with a knife severed the cuticle
or skin just beyond the gsmbriel joint,

thrust the other hind leg through the
aperture, and then put the sheep back
over the fence, which went off hobbling

Presently. Buncc's old sow broke into
