Waterloo a day after the Battle.

On a surface of two square miles, it was
asccrtained that fifty thousand men and
horses were lying? The luxurious crop of
ripe grain which had covered the field of
battle, was reduced to litter, and beaten
into the earth and the surface troddcn
down by the cavalry, and furrowed deeply
by the cannon wheels, strewed with many
relic, of the fight. llemlets and cuiras-
scs, shattered firearms and broken swords;
all the variety of military ornaments, Ian
Ger caps and Highland bennets uniforms
of every color, plume and pcnon; musical
instrument, the apparatus of artillery,
drums, buges, but, good God ? why dwell
on the narrowing picture of a foughten
battle field each and every ruinous dis.
play bore mute testimony to the misery of
such battle. \
Could the melancholy appearance Of this
scene of death be heightened, it would be
by witnessing the researches of the living,
amid its dcsolation, for the object Of their
love. Mothers, and wives, and children,
for days were occupied in that mournful
duty; and confusion Of the corpscs, friends
and foe intcrminglcd, as they were often
rendered the attempt at recognizing indi.
viduals difficult, and in some cases impos-
siblc. In many places the
dead lay four deep upon each other, mark
ing the spot some British square had oc
cupicd, exposed to the murkerous fire of a
French battery. Outside, lancer and cur
assicr were scattered thickly Oh the earth
Madly attempting to force the serricd bay
oncts of the British, they had fallen in the
bootlcss essay by the musketry Of the in
ncr files NFarthcr on, you trace the spo
where the cavalry'of France and England
had encountered; chaseur and hussar wer,
intcrminglcd; and the heavy Norman hor
scs of the Imperial Guard were interspcr
scd with the gray chargers which had car
ricd Albyn's chiynlry. Here the High
lander and tralucr lay, side by SIDE
together; and a heavy Dragon, with greer
Erins badge upon his hemet, was crap
pling in death with the Polish lancer.
On the summit Of the ridge, where tn
ground was numbered with dead, and trod
den fctlock-deep in mud and gore by tin
frequent rush of rival cavalry, the thick
strcwn corpscs of the Imperial Guarc
pointed out the spot where Napoleon hat
been Defeated II9rc, in column, tha
favored corpse, on whom his last chance
rested, had been annhilated and the ad

Abiding in Christ.

President Dwight used to say to his
classes, as they went out from under his
care, " Young men, it is not great talent,
i; is not great learning that is to enable
you to do good, aJidiag in. thria." lie
then added, "Thc young man of whom we
expected least all the way through college,
has now attained to the greatest excel
lcnco and usefulness, and has done the
most for the upbuldng Of the cause of the
Master" That man was DR., Nettleton.
His hopes were not bright, he was gloomy
and despondcnt all the way through his
college course but he afterwards shook
off this dark mantle, and richly exemp!if-
ed the power and beauty of the religion of
Jesus. He was cminently a holy man
because he abode in Christ, and wherever
he went Christ went with him, and glori-
fed himself through an arm of flesh.
The INFANT.-A lovely child lay sleep
ing, the moonbcams kissed its forehead,
and in every ray of light an angel sport
cd. No wonder they should leave their
Eden home to lingcr awhile on earth to
gaze upon aught so lovely, Pure as the
snow wreath which mantles the Alpine
hills, or the lilly with its sin brow bcdecked
with pearls, was this infant-sin had never
touched it, Its little heart was far from
guile as was the seraph's which looked
down upon its beauty. Nor were the an
gels alone gazing; no, no--a fond mother
watched it, and as the moonbcams played
around its check, she thought of the inno-
ccncy which dwalt within the heart of her
cherished infant.

aA- The Bell orators and speakers of
the South, have found the lever which is
to enable them to hoist Breckenridge out
of the Presidential ring. 1t is no less
than the charge that Breckinridge dom t
own any niggers, while Bell, and Doug
las each own-Bell in his own right and
Douglas in the name of his children
four hundred EACH If this is true, it
explains the sympathy and coalition
between the Bell and Douglas parties,
and their intense hatred of Breckenridge.
We supposed Breckenridge pro-slavery
enough to suit the rankest fanatacism.
But it seems nothing less than keeping
a herd of human cattle can give any man
a passport to the favor of certain class
of politicians. It is doubtful if one of
these editors ever owned slave or ever
will be able to do so. But such men
make the very best kind of funkies.
