Mans yet viii tall on the battle plain,
Where death stalked hourly by
The air i, black with iron rain,
And torn flags floating high.
They fall, and life Is trampled out
Mid the clash and clang OF steel
And death is trod with hendish shout
Meath the soldiers iron heel.
Tne rippling brook S drencaed With blood,
Bloody 5 the trampled sod
Where dying soldiers find a bed
Aad give their souls to God.
They still fight on, and alone
They leave thc soldier there;
Noble youth, al! too brave to mourn,
Tho'woupds exposed to the evening air.
Still fierce and deep the battle shout
Comes rolling hoarsely back,
Then all is STILL and stars gIeam GU.
Along that bloody track;
Aud rhen the night dews, pure and sweet
As tea, that loy'I ones shed,
Fall where the chargers shodden feet
Had trampled down tie dead
They bathed the dying soldiers brow
Their hair, some brown and light
Their forehead, pale as drlted snow,
Clean in the starry night;
They cool their lips, they cool their brain,
Those sweet dews OF even
And needless of their dying pain,
Their thoughts are turned to heaven.
Stretch'd on the earth, al wet with gore,
Sumbering, they're cold and white.
And their souls forget the battle roar,
In the hush of that Silly night;
Their parted lips, 50 ashy pale,
Gave forth no ob6ing breath;
Without a moan, without a wall,
They sIeep-they sleep, in death.

You have your choice, either to be-

idleness and folly, and pass off the

hind You. Opportunities are offered
for your Improvement. Nearly all
over the broad surface of our coun-
try YOU will find institutions Of learn
ing, and leading educators, calling
for YOU to come and improve your
minds. Not so with the fathers Of
education; they had to grope their
way through the darkness of twenty
two centuries, with n steady, though
not undimmcd splendor. With all
their errors, we must give TO those
fathers the honor of being the

POWDER.

Most persons, probably, suppose
that in consequence of the prevail
inc war the manufacture and con
sumption of powder in this country
must have been greatly increased.
But we are assured on good author
ity that the reverse is the case. The
consumption Of powder in time of
peace is far greater than during war.
Gunpowdcr being an article contra
band of war, its expectation is pro
hibitcd; consequently the immense
foreign trade which manufacturers
have been for years accustomed to
supply, is wholly at an end.
1t is curious circumstance con-
ncctcd with the powder business,
that while our Government is in
great need of the article, at the low
est prices, it employs themost direct
agencies to raise the prices and i'm
pede its own supplies. Thus the
Goycrnmentplaces very large duties,
payable in gold. on the raw materials
and then lays heavy revenue taxes
on the manufactured article. As the
Government IS a principal consumer
it thus puts itself to the delay and
expense ofliXing and collecting taxes
from itself. One of the results oI
this foolish plan is to elevate the
prices of the raw materials TO such 4
degree that the manufacturers are
required to take unusual risks, and
employ about three timos rs mucl
capital I'm the supply OF their orders
as was formerly needed. and with
out substantial increase OF profits
Under these circumstances, If the
wants OF the Government can no'
bc readily supplied, it has 10 one tC
blame but itself

Mrs. Rose prepared her meals with

was still there IN her rags, and her
