["Dies aux Zouaves de savauces'-Nap Ill
The light Zouaves passed with bound
Der ditch and fence and reached the river
Then fnging knapSacks 70 the ground,
Plunged In the flood, that made them shlver.
Down on their heads there rained a fire,
Winch deeply redeemed oil tne water;

TO check advance, by fearful slaughter.
Hurrah upon the other bank
Their bay0aet swords thcky brssleA;
And, closing up each shattered rank,
They laughed TO scorn the shot that wbistled.
The pas gsmnnastiqae swiftly bore
Them TO storm the foes position,
From which the cannon hoarse did roar,
Like baleful angels Of perdition.

And deep In gore their weapons sleeping.

Then up the agile climbed, TO rid

member Of the peace society who requests that may

THE MARsEILLAIsE OF PEACE.
SUFFERING HUMANITY.
Oh, for shame, humanity!
on, for shame, Christianity
War, destruction, sorrow, tears
Are these thy fruits OF eighteen hundred yoarR
Driven, like ferocious cattle,
Into Durd 'rous fields Of battle
Priest and despot ridden-must thou bleed
Their AMBITIOUS whins to feedY
Az AXE from thy apaihic sleeping
Awake, and be no longer blind.
Free thysei from desppts keeping
Snake the hhackles from thy mind
Free thy sci, from priests damnation-
Fres myself, and thou art free.
Oh, worK out ting own salvation,
And heaven begins on earth for thee

Bid Perugia's troubles cease
Papal mercies thus outpourng,
