harmonious contrast to the ruby of the

CARLYLE ON WAR.


More than eighty years ago Thomas
Carlyle showed the folly of war. His
opinions are ascribed to Professor
Diogenes Temelsdreckh, who is sup
posed to be mediating on the battle
field of Wagram:
What, speaking in quite unofficial
language is the net purport and upshot
OF war? To my knowledge, for exam
pie, there dwell and toll, in the Brit
ish village of Dumdrudge, usually
some five hundred soles. From these,
by certain natural enemies" of the
French, there are successfully select
ed, during the French war, say thirty
able-bodied men; Dumdrudge, at her
own expense has sucked and nursed
them; she has, not without difculty
and sorrow, fed them up to manhood,
and even trained them to crafts, so
that one can weave, another build, an
other hammer, and the weakest can
stand under thirty stone avoirdupois
Nevertheless amid much weeping and
swearing, they are selected, all dressed
in red, and shipped away, a the pub
lie charge, some two thousand miles,
or say only to the south of Spain; and
fed there. till wanted. And now to
that same spot, in the south of Spain,
are thirty similar French artisans,
from a French Dumdrudge, in like
manner vending; till at length, after
infinite effort, the two parties come
into actual tuxtaposition; and thirty
stands fronting thirty, each with a
gun in its hand. Straightway the
word fire" is given; and they blow
the souls out of one another; and in
place of sixty brisk, useful craftsmen,
the world has sixty dead carcasses,
which 1t must bury, and anew shed
tears for. Had these men any quar-
rel? Busy as the Devil is, not the
smallest! They lived far enough
apart, "clc Tic 0uLlT0SC strangers,
nay in so wide a universe, there was
even, unconsciously, by commerce,
some mutual helpfulness between
them. How then? Simpleton! their
governors had fallen out; and instead
of shooting one another, had the cum
ming to make these poor blockheads
shoot. Alas, so it is in Deutschland,
and hitehrto in all other lands; still
as of old, what devilry soever kings
do, the Greeks must play the piper!"
In that fiction of the English Smollett.
it is true, the final cessation of war Is
perhaps alphabetically Swallowed forth;
where the two natural enemies, in per-
son, take each tobacco pipe, filled
with birthstone, light the same, and
smoke in one another's faces, till the
weaker gives in; but from such pre-
dicted peace era, what blood-filled
trenches and contentious centuries,
may still divide u.s."
