Dreadful Slaughter.

Itis hard for those who have never
seen a great battle, TO imagine SO terrible
a scene as that which has taken place al
the Mencio. Five hundred thousand men
engaged for sixteen hours IN bulcherlng
one another. With those terrible rifled
cannon, which send their shot and eX-
pIosive shell with such deadly precision
for mies-wilh all the improvements for
facilitating the loading of small arms
with every ins'rumen, Of death which the
ingenuity OF artisans could conirive, half
a million of the best drilled troops, that
ever engaged in mortal combat, at work
"From early nom to dewy eve,
A Summer day."
IN the fierce strife Of death.
We turn pale when railroad collision
presents 10 our view The mangIed bodies
of score OF human beings, but what is
that 10 such pandemonlum as lbe banks
of the Mencio must have been on the eve-
ming Of the 24lh Of June
We hear Of the glory Of the victory but
the agonizjng groans Of myriads Of dying
nen whose lives have paid for il, do not
reach our ears, and We should thank Hea.
ven that we are thousands of miles from
such a scene.
Such sights must tend to demoralize
those who become accustomed TO them, d
to harden their hearts. War may some
times be necessary, but it's terrible
Thing under any circumstances. The
true mission Of civilized men is 10 dogood
to another, and to endeavor 10 increase
their mutual happiness and 10 elevate each
othe; in The social scale. One days bat,
tie may do more 10 bruialize men, than
many years of peace and advancing civili-
cation can do for their improvement.

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part Of
the globe, is the consequence Of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm Of
vegetable decay This exhalation is evolved by
the action Of solar heat wet SOIL and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earth's
face and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts an irritating
poison on the internal vscera and excretng organs
Of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
dsordered also. Finally, the instinct Of our or
ganism, as If in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal excretories to force them to cast it
out The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestiye violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effort 1t fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the CEN
tral organs and rushes to the surface, as IL in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms Of FEVER AND AGUB.
Such constitutional disorder will Of course under
