veteran widower. was to be married
Having implicit confidence in his affianc-

they were astonishcd to find Miss Lauk-
cr awaiting their coming. 1 he bridegroom
was thunderstruck at meeting her, and
for time could not move a muscle. He
finally vcntured to Introduce his wife to
her. Lizzie took the matter coolly talked
heard and made explanations, and said,
LET us pray" The entire party knelt.
Miss Lank.r, with trembling voice, utter
ed the following prayer:
"Our Father, no art in Heaven, Thou
who carest for thy children, who lowest
the fatherless, the orphan, aud the uDpro
tected, have pity on me. q give me pow

her grace to bear the affliction of such a |
husband. Keep him from drink, and may
he become a better man. Watch over
me, our Father, and preserve me from
ever again approaching SO near to utter
ruin. Give me strength to return to my
home, and preserve my sex from such
men. Hear me, and keep me in thy love
Amen"
After this prayer, Lizzie, who had ap-
pearcd to be cool, showed signs of intense
aud tainted. She was watch
ed throughout the night; was kindly
cared for, but was hot able, until after
two days, to return to her home. Bireley
has now his fourth wife, although he is
not above thirty-fivc years old.

1t was annihilated at Saarbrucken and
Forbach, and the First Corps, under Me-
Mahon, has been driven back with fear
full loss from Belchshefen, and is seek
ing shelter at Sevcrne, twenty miles in
the rear of Strasbourg. When say that
Froissard's corps in annihalated I do not
exagserate; it is literally used up, and is
name and nothing more.
The two armies approached each other
to within one hundred yards, and there,
for half an hour, they stood pouring
into each other the contents eff their noe
die guns and chassepots. The French
were SO greatly outnumbered, and, in
fact, surrounded, that the battle now be-
came a massacre. The Twenty-third,
Thirty-second, Sixty sixth, and Seventy
seventh regiments, the Third Chasseurs-
a Pied and two regiments of dragoous
were totally destroyed.

cry, and responded "Comiug !" We de-

sight Of the man, aud heard nothing but the
roar of the ocean. As we arose on The wave, .,
we again saw him and distinctly heard his
call. We gave him another word OF en-
couragement, and pulled with all our
strength. At the top Of each succeeding
wave we saw and beard him, and our hearts
were filed with encouragement, As often in
the trough OF the sea, and we almost aban-
doned the hope of success.
The time seemed long, and the struggle
was such as men never made but for life.-

THE OLD CONTINENTALs.
BY @. II. MCMAsTERS.

In their ragged regimentals,
Stood the old Continentals,
Yielding not
When the grenadiers were luuging,
And like hail fell the plunging
Cannon shot
When the files
OF the Isles,
From the smoky night encampment
Before the banner Of the rampant
And grummer. grummer, grummer,
Rolled the roll Of the drummer
Through the morn.
Then with eyes to the front all,
And with guns horizontal,
Stood our sires
While the balls whistled deadly,
And in flames flashing redly,
Blazed the fires,
AS the swift
Billows drift,
Drove the battle. breakers.
O'er the green sodjed acres
OF the plain
And louder, louder, louder,
Cracked the black gunpowdcr,
Cra-ked amain
Then like smiths at their forges

Rung fierce, discordant metre,
Round our ears:
Like the roar
On shore,
Rose the horse guards clangor,
rs they rode in roaring anger
On our fianks:
And higher, higher. higher,
Burned the old fashioned fire
Through the ranks
Then the bare headed colonel
Galloped through the white Internal
Powder cloud,
find his broad sword was swinging,
find his brazen throat was ringing
Trumpet-loud
And the blue
Bullets flew,
And the trooper jackets reddened
At the touch of the leadened
Rifles breath!
A nd rounder, rounder, rounder,
Roared the iron six-pounder,
Hurting death
