Sunday Battles.

Il will bc noticed that the battle Of Ma
gcnta was fought on sunday Some Of the
most destructive battles of modern times
have taken place on that day. Among these

occurred August 2th, 1859 the terrible bat
tie Of Eylou, February s, 1907 when the
French gained victory over the allied Rus

Of life. The battles Of lriodland, June II,
SO7, of Nimciro August n, lSOS, Luzcn,
MAY >, 1913, aud of Toulouse, April ! ,lSli,
al took place on Sabbath. The most impor-
tnnt battle of the century, that OF Waterloo,
which destroyed the hopes OF Napoleon L.
took place on sunday June rs, 1918. Nu-
meroug other minor European battles have
also taken place on that day, showing that
there are no Sabbaths in revolutionary times.
In our own country, BrlGdock's defeat 1913.

ON the same day in l71j. Some Of the most
Important and and naval engagements oftho

was a ,tnid and honest Baptist deacon, in one
of the interior towns in the state Of Maine,
who had a vein of dry, caustc humor in his
composition. The Deacon had boy of some
dozen summers, who was somewhat inclined
to be little ugly when not under parental
eye. In school, especially, John was a source
of constant annoyance to the teacher. One
day the mistress punished him for some mis-
dcmeauor, and John went home, crying, to
enter his complaint, and told his father that
the mistress had whipped him.
"Whlt" exclaimed the Deacon, olCvating
his eyebrows, "been whipped 2' "Ya-a.s sir"
sobbyd the boy. And did YOU let a woman

"lhc next day the boy went to school, and
cmboldened 10y the permission given by his
father, was soon brought beioretAe tribunal
of violated rules. The teacher undertook To
correct him, and he did as his father had told
him. The result was, that John got a most
unmcrctiui- trounciug, and was thoroughly
subducd. When he went home, he went to
his flthcr crying "Well, dad got an aw-
iul bad licking to day" What" said the
cid Dencou-"Have you let that woman whip

yourself in future. John began to have
