SOCIETY TEACHING.-Lillle had
numbered among her admirers
many lights of the church. She had
firtcd with bishops, priests and
dcacons-who, none of them, would,
for the world, have been so ungal-
liant rs to quote to her such dreadful
professional passages as "She that
liveth to pleasure is dead while she
livcth.' In fact, the clergy while
off duty, are no safer guides of at
tractive young women than other
mortal men; and Lille had 50 often
seen their spiritual attentions de-
generate into downright temporal
lovc-making that she held them III
as small reverence rs the rest OF
their sex. Only one dreadful John
the Baptist of her acquaintance, one
Of the camers-hair-girdle and To-
cust-and-honcy species, once en-
countering Lille at Saratoga, and
observing the ways and manners OF
the court which she kept there, took
it upon him to give her II spiritual
admonition. "Miss Lille" said
81 see no chance for the salvation
of your soul, unless it should please
God to send the smallpox upon yon
| think shall pray for that" "Oh
horrors! don't. I'd rather be saved,
Lille answered, with fervent sin
cerity. The story was repeated at
terward as an amusing bon mot, anC
a specimen of the barbarity to which
religious fanaticism may lead; an,
yet we question whether John tn
Baptist had not the right of it. Fo
it must at once appear, that, had tn

THE BATTLE,


| Heavy and solemn,
A cloudy column,
Through the green plain they marching come!
Measureless spread, like table dread,
For the wild grim dice of the iron game.
Looks are bent on the shaking ground,
Hearts beat loud with knellng sound;
Swift by the breasts that must bear the brunt,
Galops the major .!I,alt,,, along the 'front.'
And fettered they stand at the stark command,
And the warriors, silent, halt!
Proud In the blush of morning glowing,
What on the hilltop shines in flowing!
" See you the foeman's banners waving!
'We see the foemans banners waying!"
God be with your children and Wife,!
Hark to the musc-the trump and fife,
How they ring through the ranks which they rouse
Thrilling they 20 through the marrow and bone
Brothers, God grant, when this life is DER,
In the life to come that we meet once more!
See the smoke how the lightning is cleaving asun-
der!
Harkl the guns, peal on peal, how they boom in
From host to host, with kindling sound,
The shouted signal circles round;
Freer already breathes the breath!
The war is waging, slaughter raging,
And heavy through the rceklng pail
The iron death-dice fall!
Nearer they close-foes upon foes
Ready from square to square II goes.
They kncel as one man from flank to flank,
And the fire comes sharp from the foremost rank
Many soldier to the earth Is sent,
Many a gap by ball is rent;
Ger the corpse springs the hindmost man,
That the line may not fall to the fearless van.
To the right to the left, and around and around
Death whirls in its dance on the bloody ground.
Gods sunlight is quenched in the fiery fight,
O'er the host falls brooding night!
Brothers, God grant, when this lie Is DER
In the life to come that we may meet once more.
The dead men lie bathed in the welterng blood,
And the living are bent in the slippery Hood,
And the feet, as they recling and sliding go,
Stumble still on the corpse that sleeps below,
What! Francis ~" Give Charlotte my last fare
wcll.''
As the diving man murmurs The thunders swell
.srll give--O, God. are the guns SO near.
Io. comrade!-yon volley!-look sharp to the
I'll give to thy Charlotte thy last farewell;
Sleep soft where death thickcst dcscendeth in
rain,
The friend thou forsakest thy side may regain."
Hitherward, thitherward, reels the fight;
Dark and more darkly day glooms into night.
Brother God grant. when this life Is DER,
In the life to come we may meet once more!
Hark! to the hoofs that galloping go!
The adjutant's flying!
The horsemen press hard on the painting foe,
Their thunder boom-is dying
Terror has seized on the dastards all,
And their colors fall.
Victory.
Closed is the brunt of the glorious fight,
And the day like conqueror, bursts on the night; ;
Trumpet and fife swelling choral along
The triumph already sweeps marching IN song,
Farewell fallen brothers. though this life be o'er,
There's another in which we shall meet you once

Further on, mixed up with these

slaves with red and white streamcrs
in all directions, and lancer shakos.
One would think Lanccrs and CUR
assiers had fallen together; but to
whatever regiments lance and CUR

been routed and destroyed. One
remarkable circumstance is this

ment charged a battery and got in
among the guns, but were smitten

beat them to the earth never to rise

seconds. AS | said, this sort of
work was visible for quite two miles

After the battle Of Saarbruck, a
Westphalian, going about to help
the wounded, came upon a soldier
of the Prussian iufantry who had
been shot through the body and
was leaning heavily against wall.
"Will you drink, comrad?" asked
the Westphalian. Pale and faint
the fellow shook his head, and
tecbly indicated that he would like
his lips to be moistcned. When
this had been done, he asked in a
whisper whether the Westphalian
could write. The latter ut once
took out his pocket-book, when the
dying man, "with Frightening eve, -
dictated the words, "Dear mother,
farewell" adding the address. At
this moment the Westphalian was
called by second wounded man.
When he returned he found that his
first friend had fallen back and
died.

THREE DAYS LATEE.-We are all
about worn out. For four-and
twenty hours our bustling premises
were the talk and wonder Of the
town. The theatres languished, for
their happiest scenic inventions
were tame and commonplace com
pared with my lightning-rods. Our
street was blocked night and day
with spectators, and among them
were many who came from the
country to see. 1t was a blessed
relief, on the second day, when Il
thunder storm came up and the
lightning began to ago for" my
house, as the historian Josephus
quantity phrases it. 1t cleared the
galleries, so to speak. In five
minutes there was not Il spectator
within half mile Of my place; but
all the high houses about that dis
tance away were full, windows,
roof, and all. And well they might
be, for all the falling stars and

simultaneously out of heaven in one

roof, would not have any advantage

making my house so magn'ileently
conspicuous in the general gloom
of the storm. BY actual count the
lightning struck at my establish
ment seven hundred and sixty-tour
times in forty minutes, but trippcd
on one Of these faithful rods every
time and slid down the spiral twist
and shot into the earth before it
probably had time to be surprised
at the way the thing was done.
And through all that bombardmen,
only one patch of states was ripped
up, and that was because for q
single instant the rods in the
vicinity were transporting all the
lightning they could possibly accom-
odate. Well, nothing was eyer seer
