A UNION OF HEARTS.

The battle had ragged from the dawn of the day,
The life-blood of thousands was ebbiag away.
AS our column moved forward, it rained shot
and shell, -,, r. "a,
Yet rushed on unheedng who stood or who fell.
The bntt'ries were stormed in tempest of fire,
Mid the blaze of the cannon the foemen retire,
But slow their retreat in their resolute 6ght,
Till the struggle found rest in the gloom of the
night. ....,-.t ... .
The moon as it rose in dark clouds was concealed,
As if hiding its face from the blood on that field !;
A young, dying soldier, the column who led,
On the corpse of his brother had pillowed his
head. ilh "' -1
In the heat of the onset, its fury and strife,
His sword met foe and had taken his life
But worse than his 6eath-w0und the hear trend
ing pain,
To find twas his brother his weapon had slain.
AS the ambulance corps sought the wounded
that night,
Where ~ hllock of dead told how fierce was the
i3 SIGHT, . ~.trg. a.H.
They heard the last prayer of brave soldiers
breath,
Ere his heart ceased to throb in the portals Of
death: Ttf' ..7...le.f
80 Father of Mercy'istorgive me the blow
That caused the hearts blood of brother to
flow,
That rends the fond hesrt of mother in twain,
TO weep or the slayer MS she weeps for the slain.
''When life has no longer charm to display,
When earth and its visions are passing away,
How weak are the causes as now understood,
Have led.to the thirsing for each others blood |;
Oh, great God OF Battles, grant carnage may
cease;
Look down ON our country and give to i, peace.
Let our Union be love and as Hatred departs,
The, Union will live ia Union of Hearts,

For forty long miles this scene lasted

opening the door, saw the two -gashed and
haggard men bending over the exhausted
madman on the blood-stained floor .....
Since the French police found tho body

course the madman, for he must have been
mad, was taken before magistrate, and
there he gave as reason for his conduct,
the explanation we have already mention
ed-he thought the two men were about
to rob him. He turns out to be an Irish
schoomaster, Michael Lyons by name,
coming to London on a mixed errand of
business and pleasure. 1t is said that he

THE LATEST USE FOR PETROLEUM.
An assistant army surgeon at Gettysburg
calls attention to the usefulness of petru-
leum as a. remedial agent in suppurating
wounds. He says that be received per-
mission from the surgeons of the Fifth
corps to use it in the most offensive cases,
by its manifest utility, and at the solicitar
tions Of the wounded, he was induced to
enlarge its use, until he became satisfied
that what cold water is to a wound, in its
inflamed state, carbon oil is to it in its
suppurating state, dispclling flies, .expell-
ing vermin, swesteuing the wound aud
promoting healthy granulations. II can
