DELIVERANCE IN PROSPERITY.
In all time of ovr prosperity, good Jxni,
deliver vt.
On ! flot alone when blinding tears
Fall over those we've lately lost.
And our weak hearts aro wrecked and tossed
On the dark ocean of our fears
But when doar friends around us prove
How sweet the joys that thou bast given,
Tbon.lert we lose our hold on heaven,
Good Lord, deliver iu thy lovo !
Not only when the weary head
Turns restlessly through all the night.
And WHtebc. longitor. till the light
Comes joyless to the suilei cr 's bed
But when with even pulse tho blood
Thrills through our veins unchecked aud free,
Then, lest we fail in love lo tliee.
Dear Lord, deliver thou urt good !
Not only when In poverty
We sink beneath our load of care,
And drng the cross we cannot bear,
As did our Lord on Cuwilry
But when the stores of wealth are poured
Around us by thy liberal grace.
Lest w hat thou gu est lode thy face,
Oh ! then deliver us. good Lord !
Not only when, with ft.lterlii, tread.
We totter down the .dope of age.
And. we.,ry with our pilgrimage,
Ebvy tho SiVeetly lunil" .:i:g deml
But nhen we ri.ie the bal.le-song.
In youtlrs glad hour ol hope and pride.
Then, lest we leave our Captain's .-kie.
Kind Lord, deliwr thou ml siioiig.
Our sorrows gui.lf us to tbv fed.
We seek theethroucb the gathering cloud.
And w hen th tempt si thunders loud,
We hide bem alii the niercy-deat.
But joy oft leads us far a.struy.
Wc alue not thy tr.n:r defence,
tl!i ' seek us where we wnn ler thence,
Good Lord, deliver llun, we pray.

A full-grown rabbit had hid itself away
in the copse of a fence, which separated two
fields near the centre, and most exposed
portion of the battle ground, llabbits are
wont to spend the day t.!iiust motionless,
and in seeming dreamy meditation. This
one could have had but little thought if
rabbits think when housing its place of
retnat at early dawn, that ere n was even
tide there would be such an unwonted und
rnthhss disturbance. '
During all the preparations tor battle
made around its lair throughout the fore
noon, il never! In-less remained ipih-t. l'arly.
howeer, in the afternoon, when the rage of
battle had fairly begun, nnd shot and shell
were filling thick nud fast iu all direct iocs,
a shell chanced to burst ao near Mr. Uab
bitl's hiding place, that he evidently con
sidered it t.iisale to taiiy lonm r. So, fright
ened utmost tu death, out he springs into
the open licld, and ran hit-hcr and thither
with the Miin hope of finding a -afe retreat.
Vhichccr way il rati, camions were ihun
ilcriiuf out their smoke and lire, r- giim T.l
of men were advancing or ( hanging pi sition,
horses galloping here and there, shells burst
ing anil solid shot tearing up the ground.-
Sometimes it wouhl sipiat nov, 11, ami ne
perfectly Mill, when some new and sudden
danger would again start it into mot ion.
Once more, it, w ould stop and raise itself as
high as possible on its hind legs, and look
iilfround for some, place of possible retreat.
At length that part of the field seemed
open which lay in the direction, opposite
from where the battle raged most lierci ly.
Thither it accordingly ran with all its re
maining speed. Unobserved by it, how ever,
a regiment was iu that direction, held in
reserve, and like Wellington's ut Waterloo,
was lying Hat on the ground,

of tlicso men. It could go 110 farther, but
presently nestled down beside u soldier, and
tried to hide itself under his arm. As the
man snl'eui I the skirt of his coat over the
trembling fugitive, iu order to insure it all
the protection in his power to bestow, he
no doubt feelingly remembered how much
he himself then tieedcd come higher protec
tion, under the shadow of whoso arm might
be hidden his own deli neelcss head from
the fast multiplying missiles of death scat
tered iu all directions.
It wits not long, however, before the regi
ment was 01 dcml up and forward. From
the protection and safety i-.tunted, this timid
creature had evidently acquired conudcu.ee
in uiau us the boys are wont to say, ''had
been tinned." As thu regiment moved tor
ward to the front of the battle, it hopped
slots uai. e:minfc!,v, a kitten, s'"-e ut
the feet of tho soldier who had bestowed
the needed protection. Wherever the re ri
tneut went, during all the remaining part o!
that bloody day and terrible, bnttl'", il.e rab
bit kept close beside its new friend When
night came on, nod the ruie of buttle had
ceased, it finally, lliunolesto'l and quietly,
hopped nvvny, in order to find joiije one, of
its old and familiar haunts.

This little town of St. Catherines is ono of
the prettiest villages and most fashiouablu
places of resort in Canada.
Tin: st. catiii:i:ines secehsionwts.
There are, I am told, probably a do.eu
secessionists iu this place who hear daily
from llichmond direct, and in almost ail
cases through the means ol female spies at
Hallimore. They certainly know of events
that have taken place in Virginia days before
the meagre government telegrams wero
allowed to appvar in the papers, and they
maintain that Jeff. Davis knows every
night what litis passed during tho day ut
Washington.
A NUW IDEA.
Under the influence of the recent federal
reverses the secessionists of this place havtj
ventured to make some significant remarks.
They openly declare that ihe Union shull
not be broken, but that if the North ia
beaten, it shall be subjected to the rule of
Jell'. Davis, w ho w ill be the next I'resident
of the United Slates ; for the northern states
will be held as stll-jtigatcd provinces. This
lets the cat out of the bag rather prematurely,
and it tloes not ut all suit the Canadiau
now sympathizing with the South. They
openly say that they want the Union to bu
dissolved, and two or more confederacies to
exist iu its place. The idea of a Union
under southern riders is as repugnant to
their notions as tin; old "Union lis it was."'
