How a Nan Feels on the Battle FlcId

Few persons are there who have not
some curiosity aboui battle fields, aud who
do not desire TO know how meE feel when
under fire, especially before custom has
made them feel Indifferent or secure Most
of those who were at Doneson murt
have had this experience as The field was
such that few could go 10 any part of it
without incurring more or less riek. Hard
ly any one could see the enemy or guns,
aud consequently the first intimatIon oil
their presence would be the iall9g of stea
or the rafting of shot or balls in his imme-
eiate vicinity.
DO no. suppose | have much pysical or
, moral courage, but The sensations under
fire, judging from my experieBee, from
what is expected.
A reasoning man al first feels alarmed,
and his impulse is TO run away and If he
has no reason to stand, he does run but
at each exposure, he grows less timid, and
after hearing canister AID grape about his
ears dozen times, begins 10 think he is
not destined TO be hun.
I He siill feels rather uneasy, perphaps
! but the danger becomes fascinating, and,
though he don't wish to be hit, he likes 10
! have narrow escapes, and so voluntarily
/ places himself in position " here he cap
/ incur more risk
/ After lille while he begins TO reason
/ probabilities, and how mnch powder ard
and lead is necessarily wasted before a
+ man Is killed Or wounded Why should he
1 be, he thinks. so much more unlucky than
many other people aud he soon can hear
the whizzing of bullets with toerable de
gree OF equanimity, though he involuntari-
| ly dodges, or tries TO dodge the cannon
balls or shells that 60 bowling around his
immediate neighborhood. lu the afternoon
he is qune different creature from what
smiles TO zee betray the same tre-

The more he is exposed TO fire, The bet
Ter he can bear il; and the iimid being oI
day is the hero OF 10 morrow; and he
who runs from danger on the first battle
field will run ipio it on the next, and court
the hazard he once so dreaded.
/ The courage, as il is styled, is little more
with most men than custom and they
learn TO despise what has often threatened
| without causing them harm. II wounded,
they learn wounds are less painful to bear
than they had supposed and then the doctrine
OF probabilities teaches them once more
they are less liable TO be wounded again.
| So the mental process goes on until the
nerves become by degreess the subjects oil

With feet half nakec and bare
Aud dresses all taItered and torn,
With penny here and a mockery there,
And floods of derision aud scorn
She wanders the street wherever her feet,
Weary and willing, are borne,
With an eye as bright and a cheek as fair
Asthe earliest blush of the morn.
Wandering up and down,
And driven from door TO door,
A Jest for every idle clown
And bntt for every boor:
While the velvet-slippered.ia satin and lace
Go rusting by her side,
With frozen heart and curtained face,
And lip curled into pride,
So beautiful, yet so frail,
So willing. and yet so weak.
Oh, what II the heart should fail
And heavenly purpose break
And the dens, kennels and brothers Of hell,
Another poor victim hold
A celestial spark be quenched in the dark,
And an angel bsrlered Tor gold
No wonder the heart should fail,
heavenly purpose iade,
The eye grow dim and the cheek grow pale
When aone stand ready 10 aid
No wonder the lairs and cradles of hell
So many poor victims should hold,
When the good are content 10 worship God
And the rich to worship their gold
Move patiently on, o earth
Till Mercy's andering dove
Shall upward fly TO The realm of its birth,
And rest in the bosom of Love:
Move patiently on till the crucifiei Christ
Shall gather his radiant crown
From the lowly flowers and bleeding hear
1haf the world has trampled down.

Honey in the South.

Norfolk correspondent OF the Richmond
Dispatch gives tins graphic picture OF the
difficulties attending the present condition
OF Confederate currency:
Leaning over the counter a puzzled VOL
unteer was endeavoring TO reckon up the
change just paid out by the sleek haired
clerk. Before him lay quantity of mutt
lated bills, ragged and dry pieces of pa
per, bits Of card board, printed checks, a
few copper pennies, milk tickets, postage
stamps, and other interesting specimens of
the present outrageous "coin of The realm"
Over and over again the puzzled volunteer
essayed 10 count The villainous currency,
and over and over again he failed 10 fnd ii
satisfactory. II was too much for his rustic
arithmetic the problem was too difficult 10
solve upon only ten fingers. The bystau-
ders laughed. The money was spread out
| upon The show case as young ladies lay
cards upon table in telling fortunes, and
the soldier stood before it, searchngly ex.
aiming every piece. "Do you call this
money! he asked, taking up small vel
low parallelogram, looking very much like
the brass card on the top of a sardine box
''Do you call this money! holding up an
advertise meni OF fine Havana cigars. "and
this " biz tor fifteen cents, in which some
weak minded printer had gone raving mad
in different kinds of type, "Good for one shGy'

was puzzled also. 'I.'lI pass all over town

scrutnizes The ragged and incongruous pile
