When the Berks County and other in
terror troops were on their way toward
Camp Curtin, the officers had confer
encc over the news of the taking of For.
Sumter, and the fact, that, after thirty
six hours cannonading, no life was lost.
One honest Dutch officer could not un,
derstand how this could be done, but
another officer, better posted in modern
warefare, assured him that it was all
owing to the astonishing improvements
in modern defence, which had made the
art of war so perfect that forts might be
battered down, and cities lie lombard
ed and yet not single individual be
killed: The honest Dutch son of Mars
listened attentively and in surprise at
such remarkable results. Suddenly his
face Redeemed; and with blow of his fist
upon the table, which sounded like the

Bishop Simpson on the War.

[ From a sermon preached Ly him last Sun
day reported in the Chicago Press.
As we believe that God has laid the foun-
dation of this Government, and has made it,
it is our duty to protect it. The man who
goes to the war, goes in the order Of God.
1t is our duty to pray God to aid them
and protect them. Our revolution was con-
secrated by the national prayer; our organi-
zation as national Government was conse-
Grated by national prayer; and these times OF
war should be mbued with PRAYER. Here
are husbands parting from brides-hcrc are
fathers leaving the child just lisping his name,
here are sons, the pride and comfort of par
ents, gone to be exposed to danger and vice.
and they all need tho voice Of prayer. Why
are not our churches opened and PRAYER as
cending for them. How great safeguard
how full of solace to the weary--how sweet
and tender to the dying soldier, that in that
hour prayers are being offered for them by
mothers, and fathers, and wives. The pray
ers of the nation God will hear, and will lead
their army to victory.
And so, with this spirit, let us 90 forth

of scarlet cloth; take a handful of them
and boil them in pint of water, into
which few pieces of alum should be
thrown. Let the Ivory be immersed in
this when very hot until the required
tint is obtained.
Green Dye.-Wool, silk, and linen,
are usually dyed green by giving them
first blue color, and afterwards dyeing
them yellow; when the yellow is first
given several Inconveniencies follow; the
yellow partly Sc, Arates aga in in the
blue vat, and communicates green col

Any of the usual processes for dyeing
blue and yellow may be followed, taking
care to proportion .ho depth of the shades
to that of the green required. When
sulphate Of indigo is employed, it is u
sual to mix all the ingredients together
and to dye the cloth at once; this produ-
ces what is known by the name Of Sax
on, or English green.
Maple Sugar Caady.--Take i've
pounds of sugar and half an ounce of
cream of tartar; break the sugar and add
two tumblers Of water; when the syrup
boils up throw in a little water and take
it from the fire, and skim it; continue
to do this while any impurities rise, then
boil slowly without stirring until it reach

Have been with us at Monterey.
Now here, now there, the shot is hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not single soldier qualed
When wounded comrades round then

Their dying shouts at Monterey.
And on; still on, our column kept,
Through walls OF flame its witherp.

Where fell the dead the living slept,
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe, himself, recoiled aghast,
When striking where he strongest lay.
We swooped its fanking batteries past
And braving full their murderous blast,
Stormed home the towers of Monterey
Our banners on the turrets wave,
And there the evening bugles play,
Where orange boughs above their grave,
Keep green the memory of the brave,
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
