A Paris paper notices the iact that notwith-
standing the invention Of rifed guns, the
disporpotion of killed and wounded In battle
remains about the same as ever, r,Justifying the
statement made In the time OF Marshall
SAKE, that each man killed in battle repre-

weight. At Soleferino, for example, the
Austrians fired s, 400, 900 musket shots, while
the number of killed among the French was
but 1000, and Of the wounded 10000. Thus
one man was hit forevery 700 shota and one
killed for every 4,200. 1 M

BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-A writer
whose life has passed its meridian,
thus eloquently discourses upon the
speedy flight Of time:
Forty years once seemed a long
and wearisome pilgrimage to make.
1t now seems but step, and yet
along the way are broken shrineS,
where thousand hopes have wasted
into ashes; footprints sacred under
their drifting dust, green mounds,
where the grass is fresh with the
watering of tears shadows even in
which we should not forget. We will
garner the sunshine of those years,
and with chastened steps and hope
push on toward the twilight where
the waters are still, and the storms
never beat"

A young man of nineteen, setting
out for a distant part Of the country
in pursuit Of fortune, we cast our
eyes around the scene of our infant
sport, our boyiSh revels, and more
manly exercises. The silent adieu of
a father, who, shaking the hand, did
not choose to speak, lest the attempt
to say "farewell" should betray the
deep feelings of the heart by the
trembling lip and taltering tongue.
The mothers tender embrace and
flowing tears; the hills, the rocks,
the meadows, the school house, the
companions OF my youth-and the
pale maiden that pressed to say
"good bye" yet shrunk back be-
cause she dare not trust herself. All,
home sweet home-the parental
hearth-the circle Of early friends

As sweet as heaven designed h;
Nor need we roam to bring It home.
Though few there be that find It.

And luse what nature gave US;
For life hath here no charms so dear.
As home and friends around US.

And future hopes, nor praise them
While @, wers as sweet bloom at our feet.
II we'd but stoop to raise them.
For things so fair still greater ara
When youths bright spell hath bound us;
But soon we're taught that earth has nsught
Like home and friends around US.
The friends that speed in time Of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
Do show us still that, come what will.
