On the next (Friday) morning, the battle was
renewed, and was still going on up to the date of
our latest adyices from the North. A dispatch da-
ted at Gettysburg on Friday, the 3d. says:
The third days battle began this morning, at
o'clock. 1t is now Z o'clock, and circle of fire of
musketry and artillery on the south side of Gettys

fghtis wholly within the woods the artillery u.

The attack was commenced by the rebels on our
right. The fight there has been unceasing, and

RIGHT FROM HEAVEN.

In a miserable cottage at the bot
tom of a hill, two children were how
ering over a smouldering fire A
tempest ragged without, a fearful
tempest against which man and
beast were alike powerless.
A poor old miser, much poorer
than these shivering, children, tho
he had heaps Of money at home, drew
his ragged cloak about him as he
crouched down at the threshold of
the miserable door. He dared not
enter for fear they would ask pay for
shelter, and he could not move for
the storm.
Il am hungry, Netlie.'
so am |; | have hunted for po-
tato pairing, but can't find any,
what an awful Storm
'Yes;the old tree has blown down.

'lf ne could do that. could lie not
send us some bread!'
Il guess SO; but lei US pray "Our
Father and when we come 70 that
part, stop till we get some bread
So they began. and the poor ms
er, crouching and shivel ing listened,
And when they paused, expecting
in their childish faith 10 see some
miraculous manifestation, a human
feeling stole into his heart-some an
gel came to soften it. He had bot
a loaf at the ge.,hinking it wo'd
last him many days; but the silence
Of the two little children spoke loud
er than the voice of many waters.
He opened the door softly, threw in
the loaf. and listened 10 the wild, ca
ger cry of the half-iamished little
ones.
'It dropped right from heaven. did

The storm passed; the miser went
home. A little flower had sprung
up in his heart; it was no longer
barren. In few weeks he died,
but not before he had given the cot
tage, which was his, TO the poor la
boring man. And the little children
ever felt sweet and solemn emo
ton when, in their matinal devo-
ton, they came TO these truthful
words:

GAME OF PROVERBS.

Assuming that the game may no,
be universally known, we will re-
hearsc the minutia of one round, by
way Of explanation. The home
party. consisting perhaps Of six or
eight, are seated in a semicircle.-
One leaves the room, while those re-
manning select familiar proyerb,
and each member of The circle takes
word in the successive order of
the proverb. We will suppose it TO
be ":Straws show which way the
wind blow" All being ready the
guesser is recalled, who proceeds
TO find out the proyerb through the
answers which he can obtain to his
various queries, the one answering
being required TO place his or her
particular word in their sentence.
Advancing to
Noel, he perhaps asks, care you
fond of poetry"
mo, l don't care two srRAws
about anything that rymes."
mo. 2. what do you think Of
Your friends tastel''
"Her answer dosen't SHOW her
knowledge Of the art 10 much advan-
tage."
"No. 3, what flower do you love
the mostF
"T'hat WHICH emblems humility"
"No. 4, if you were in Maj. An
derson's place what would you do'"
"Adopt his WAY by doing my
whole duty"
No. 5, are you in favor Of secess-
ion!"
"TnE question, sir, is irreverent."
"No. 6, are you fond of boating"
ayes, when their is enough WIND
to ill M sail, but rowing abhor."
"No. Z, don't you think rowing is
fine exercise for the lungs!"
"Well, j, wouldn't expand them
quite as much as the effort TO BLOW
twenty unbroken yards Of spun
glass"
If by this time he has not guessed
the proverb, he must pay forfeit,
but il guessed, the person whose
answer gave him the strongest clue,
must be the next one banished.-I
The game affords room for much

" taxed to furnish appropriate an
