I BEE the fair new summer moon Gilding along the tranquil sky; It lights the field of blood where soon Thousands must die I Are djing—as we talk by starts, With bushed low voices full of awe, Of woe! to come, and breaking hearts, The end of war The horses' bridles even now Are red with blood, the trampled field Is reaped. War's sickles as the plow Counts up its yield. Night's languid perfumes, summer's breath We breathe with sickening thoughts; for there Sulphurous, scorching, charged with Death, Weighs down the air. Earth puts on Paradise for us; Their straining eyes have looked on hell I Its torments, anguish, curse, ~ Around them. swell. Men changed to demons I hate and rage Lighting the dying fires of life • . To hurl with oath and shout the gage Of hellish strife. Black parching lips and glazing eyes Turned upward to this fair, soft light ! Shrielo, ba'obling, praying, moaning ones Wear out the night. This is the harvest of the tares Sown while men slept. Oh fatal sleep ! Alas, what crimson sheaves, it bears ! . And all must reap i" Shall yet a fair harvest sprilig From ground now nurtured by this blood ? Shall we a future pman sing Of praise to God ? Ile only knows, Faith's eyes are dim With bitter weeping for the slain. A Xatiores'trust placed all on Ilim Seems now in vain. God hides hiinself. NO wail, no cry Can pierce the cloud, the end forsee; Beneath His silenCe thimb we lie— His " needs must be." We need dis anguish of suspense To search our hearts and try our lives, Till l'aith and not its proud pretense, ' • Alone survives. —HAurga's WEEKLY. DREAMING SUM . , DING -DOING, cling-oong " Why, that can't be the school bell," cried Supy, jump ing up hastily. 4 f It is, though," said Jcie ; "and your wits have been on a goose-chase for almost three-quarters of an hpur. I took your Arithmetic away ten minutes ago, and you never, knew it at all." Susy rose with flushed cheeks and tearful eyes, and held out her hand for the boOk. All the way ,to school she studied, with the help of her good-natured brother, but all in vain. The time was too short ; and, at the close of her recitation, instead of hearing any praises, she caught 'a very sad look upon the teacher's face, and heard that hateful Pat ty Porter" titter, as she was sent to wake her place at the foot of the class. But'all these mortifications and privations seemed to 'have very little effect' upon Susy. That very night, as she sat with a little piece of sewing her, mother had given her, the needle fell - from her fingers, and her eyes again were fixed upon vacancy. " What are you after now,' Susy ?" cried Joe. . "Well, I'm thinking what if I had three; pairs 'of' hands, and While one pair did the hemming, another could sew on these strings, and another cool stitch down that seam, and we'd have it all 'done in no time at all." Well, I never !" exclaimed Joe. "Seems, to Me I'd learn to 'use one pair of hands be fore I was fretting for more. Now I believe lii dreams, little too. Suppose people oame into the world with the ends of their arms all , smooth, without any hands .at all; and suppose every time they were very good,' or accomplished any great thing, a finger would grow out. j . guess k they'd be pretty thank ful if they ever got' ten of them. I wonder how' man you'd haVe by this time ' „Lknoi you'd dream you had two orthree hundred ; but I shouldn't be 'a bit 'Surprised if you: hadn't the first joint, of a fore-finger." Soy colored and bit her lips, but had not a word to say. But more Serious consequences thin these' I resulted from Susy's habit of dreaming. :She was very fond, of _taking long walks, and as She lived only from the sea-shere,, she would often, - on a. Saturday, ramble there withAer work, • and sitting on the rocks, dream rimy hours at a time. .Now it happened one day that Srisihad an examination composition to .write, and. taking be pencil and paper with heir, shie went down to the 'rocks, so, as she 'said; '"that nO!,'orte should interrupt her:" She -played &While with the sand and shells, and then, settling herself comfortably,,she spread, her paper upon her lap, andbega'todretipt. "How nice it would be," began :ISusy"in l i usual fashion, "if some great big handwould' , take hold of my pencil, and, without ply hav ing to think at all, would just guide it, along •over the paper, writing the' funniest and nicest things in:the,:World ;' then how neatly I would copy it off, , and. .have it all off my 'mind: And when examination came,'l should 464 it very slowly and 'distinctly, and when :r1 finished, Deacon Mason *ofild_pat me on the head, and say, I didn't know Miss Su- sailhad so much talent. I shouldn't Wonder if she'd write a book some day;' and Patty . Porter would just die of envy, and almost cry when she got up to read—' Lions. The lion is a very useful animal.' And then," ran on Susy,—" what should I wear ? I wish father was rich ; or how nice it would be if I could wake in the morning, and find -by my bed a lovely pink silk, and a Wreath of white roses, such as the ladies at ihigrand hotel wore this summer. How sweet. I should tok! I wouldn't be a bit proud, either, 'but would walk by 'Kitty Bell's brown delaine, just the same as ever.' Thus ran on Susy's nimble thoUghts, and she entirely forgot how late it was growing, till suddenly the sea, which had been slowly creeping nearer and nearer, sent a little dash of spray up in her face. Susy started and looked quickly around. Oh! how careless she had been ! .She had been dreaming, dreaming, till the oold, cruel sea had come crawling all around the little rock where she was sitting, and there ,seemed no way,of es -cape. Poor Susy ! ehe,was - wide awake now, and she remembered that at high tide her rook was perfectly covered. What should she do? She called wildly, and looked out over the rough gray water, and back on the dreary gr 4. shore. There was no one in sight, and dropping down again, poor Susy dreamed no more of silk dresses and rose wreaths, but' sohbed till she could cry no more. But the sea came creeping up, sure ly, surely, and suddenly she felt its cold touch through the toes of her stout leather boots, and with a little, sharp cry, she drew them, up, with her knees close under her chin. Oh! how dreadful to wake up from such a lovely dream to such a terrible reality ! The water .crept nearer. She could not draw her feet up any further, and it rose over her little,' round ankles. Susy covered her face with her hands, and thought of home. She knew just how pleasant the old kitchen was look ing. She shouldn't wonder if mother had made gingerbread, and was cookinples for tea, and pusay was washing herself the fire. But oh, *hen they all safdowrito tea, and were laughing and telling stories, she would be lying upon the cold, gray, sand, like that poor lady Who was wrecked a year ago —lying all cold'''and still, With seaweed in her hair. "Yes, must die," thought Susy, "and I haven't been good at all ; but Per haps, if I get down on my knees, the angels Will think I'm oneuf God's children; and-car ry me to heaven bY miatake." - But the wa ter came higher still, and poor sobbing Susy concluded she would, rather die standing , up. Oh, how cold it was, and how she trembled 1 She couldn't stand much longer, and—what then ? "Father mother!.loe I" screamed, Busy frantically, -covering her - ere - s - YirCsheTelt her self swaying dizzily forward. " I declare if there isn't our Busy," cried Joe's astonished voice, and his/boat 'swept rapidly around the corner of a rock. " My little daughter,'" cried father, and Susy knew no more till she foimd herself wrapped ina great coat, held safe in her father's arms.. " Well, what were you about this time ?" cried Joe, with pretended roughness, as he wound ) up his fishing-line. " suppose you were dreaming you. were a mermaid, and were going to sail off in an, oyster shell." You would have thought this adventure would cure Busy of dreaming; and that she would set diligently to work, knowing that the best Idnduf fairies to separate bird feath ers, or do sums, and - write compoSitions, are Patience andlndustry, and they are always ready. ready to come if any little girl or boy . real ly wants them: - But Busy had indulged in this sad ,habit so long, that the very next Sabbath, as she-sat in church, thinking of 'her narrow escape, she said to herself,— " God was very good to me, and I ought to be a Christian. How nice if would be if I were, uSt like an angel, ;and *mid - A% do wrong. Then, wherever I went every one would love me, and would say, 'What a sweet expression Miss Susan his I' and at last, when I'died, I should, go straight to heaven." So she never heard what the minister said, I love them that love me, and they that seek me 'early' shall Ind Me." "MY'son, my daughter, give me thine heart." She only dreamed. -that some time she would be very. good ; and as, on the way home, she spoke very sharply, to Joe for daring to interrupt her thoughtsj am quite sure that none of the angels would have made such a mistake as to think she was one of God's children.' Little children, are .any of you dreaming like Susy ?---Stories for Girls. THE LITTLE CONTRABANDS. We ha'-e received a letter from one; of the teachers who went out to Port Royal to in- strutthe colored refugees. The following are extracts from the letter:— "My school numbered about forty of the children. Most of them were very dirty, and poorly dressed, all very black in color. A happier group' of children I never expect to witness than those who composed my school; bright eyes, happy looks, lind and patient dispositions, made them look attractive to my eyes, though they were " horribly black," as some have called them, and very dirty at first. But they were,so innocent, so despised by others, and withal so anxious to learn, that I felt a true sympathy for them. "Their masters have kept them in dark. ness and degradation. This is only the result of slavery. "They.are very eager to learn. Every one wishes to be taught first, yet, unlike some white children, they are patient and willing to wait. They do not easily tire of study, but are very diligent in getting their lessons. I have known them to teach each, other ' or sit alone and drill over a lesson for two hours at a time. "Let me relate to you a little incident that will illustrate what I hove just said. One day, at Beaufort, soon after we la,nded, while - Walking through the 'Upper portion of the toWn; I beard a little Voice saying the alPhabet, while another wee voice, dsearcely was repeating it after the first. I looked; quickly around to discover from whence th'e voice came, and what do :you ou think I saw Why, seated on;the piazza of a large empty house, were two ofthe blackest little negro children, one abbut seven;:the other not more than three years old. The elder had his arm thrown lovingly around the almost naked form of the other, and, with an open primer in the lap of one, they were at theirstudy - : Air hotir after, I returned by the same spot, and was both pleased and, surprised r to find them still at it: Godbless' the littbkoikes " This desire, or'rathereakerness, to learn to read, is manifestedby all: I have;stopped by the waygide manra time, and have im mediately collected a group of old and young about me, and have made them repeat the al phabet after me slowlY, letter by letter ; they esteem it 'the greatest `kindness I can show them, and as I turn to depart, the fervent God bless you massa,' 'Thank de Lord, mama,' reach my ears."--Chad at Home. ioctillantrito. THE AT TITIIDE OF ENGLAND x , PLA. INE D. OF this attitude and public policy of En. gland in respect to our struggle ; there is one, and only one poSsible solution; in consonance with all the facts of the case. , The preem inence of Great Britian is the historical ideal of British statesmanship. This may Spring from the latent conviction that En glish supremacy is for the greatest good of mankind; it is at any,rate sufficiently pow erful to absorb all minor morals and objects. The peculiarity of the British power, as compared with that of all other great historic nations, is seen in the fact that it is the only island which has ever ruled, continents. The Marvellous energy, pluck; good sense, and pertinacity of the British people have given. it unequalled success in the planting and holding of colonies. It has also been able at home to combine the most diverse 'inter '' -- L ~.:. -- - , :..,.., Aiiiitifiltt ittOiretitalt- atilt 6tittott 6itAtittlie4l.- ests in one orderly and wonderful state. Monarchy, aristocracy, representative gov ernment, commerce, and manufactures are wrought into one system, making one power' as never before. ,To support all these inter ests, to remain a great and growing power, it must have great colOnies, and a propor tionate maritime and commercial superior ity. It lives and. thrives through and by its possessions abread. It, is by necessitl am bitious for foreign conquest and, rule. Some of its interests, especially those of the aria toeratic, the manufacturing, and' the com mercial classes, seem endangered by the ex ample, or by, the growing power, of our Re public. Dread of this power, and of its future growth, controls the words and policy of many of England's greatest and best men. Our demecracy is disliked by their aristoc racy; our manufactures rival theirs; our com merce threatens at many points to supplant theirs. We are in dangerous proximity to some of their best colonies. They can hard-: ly replace the drain we make upon their people by the superior advantages our land holds out to their more destitute population. In this state of things, what was more nat ural than that, in, such a crisis as ours, all these -threatened > interests should rise up against us? Our hour had come it was our time of rupture and of, weakness,; this Re public seemed rent asunder. Now, if ever, was the opportunity „without infi'inging on the letter of the public law, to make use• of all practical means for „giving aid and com fort to the aid of secession, thus hastening the dissolution of the Union. In many ways this would be Tor- the advantage of England. The United States would cease to be, a first rate, power. Southern cotton could be, di rectlyxchanged for English'inanufactures. The need of a strong force in Canada and the West Indies-would be curtailed; and the Monroe doctrine would become a dead letter. It would also be proved, that Republics, tend to subdivision. Thus the material and com mercial prosperity of Great Britian might be enhanced and,* aristocracy have .anew: lease of power, both in church and state. American Theological _Review: ENGLAND'S OPPORTUNITY LOST. England had a great opportunity of riveting this Republic to it by the. strongest bonds. We did not ask its intervention in 'our be half; we merely asked, that it might not -stimulate the hope:of intervention in favor of the South. Every one knows that this hope has been the chief reliance of the South in continuing the contest. Mr. Seward long since wrote to Mr. Pike, Minister of the Netherlands,-sand has often repeated that "this' domestic war would come to `'a end to-mgrrow if the European States should clearly announce, that expectations of fa vor from them must, be abandoned." And what statesman, on either side of the-Atlan tic, doubts, that if the North had not shown an unparalleled energy, and been successful under a favoring Providence beyond prece dent, intervention by thid time would have been ensured, to our discomfiture and the triumph of, the Confederate States? Such an intervention would hive been in palpable violation of all international laW "and right, anti yet it has been seriously advocated, on the most frivolous pretexts. It has been disonssed as if this country were a second rate or enfeebled power, at the mercy of the great European States; it has been urged for the sake nf humanity, as though- we were half-civilized; it was suggested for the ab surd reason, that, to aid our blockade, we Stink, old hulks in the harbor of Charleston; and it has been demanded in'the name of the suffering operatives of Lancashire, as though all regard for our national dignity and rights were to be made subservient to the interests of British operative& Mr. Gladstone congratulates the English nation on this non-intervention , saying, "that there never'was an occasion in which the civilized , nations of the world bore and had been 1 content to bear, so much real misery result- ing from a civil and municipal quarrel in another State; without interference:" But What principle of internatienal ethics allows intervention in such cases of incidental suffer: ing from war ? There can. be no great war which is not inconvenient to the non,couibat int& If they can on, that account justly, : interfere, there couldnot be any war between two. great, powers without leading to univer sal war. The assumed right of intervention is preposterous. But not more so than it is for Englishmen' to extol their magnanimity for not committing so ;gross` an injustice;: They halie called their neutrality dignified, and eulogised their indiffenence to a conflict which is to, decide whether this continent be, the home'of freedom or the land of bondage! When Dante was `on the verge- of the infer nal region S i -he heard a sad wail, and turned and asked who were these. To whom it was replied, that they were the shades of those who 'were indifferent to good and evil, and deserved neither praise nor blame, and there fore Were their cries mingled with those of the rebel angels. The boasted neutrality of wngland mingles -accordant with the fierce ar-cry of the rebel hosts of America, bent on our destruction. , zitin all this, we say,'England has let slip a gr.eat OPPOrtullitY of showing itself faithful to, its loudly proclaimed principles.. It. has been tried and found wanting. It may be, that like us; it was, theugh unconsciously., Ogling throUgh a moral crisis. It may be that its own hour of danger is not distant, when it, will look in wain for the sympathy from us it would otherwise have surely had. The change of feeling in this country has been rapid, sirong, and well-nigh universal. Those have changed the most who were En gland's firmest friends. It is the reflecting, censervative, and 'religious men of the North Who , are now most distrustful of her whom we haVe always called our mother . country. The Anti:British feeling has hitherto been strongest among the democrats,-seeking the votes of the immigrant population. Now the estrangement , is most marked the most sober men of, all politcal parties and religions denoninations. It is =not ha tred or fear; but a deep-seated moral distrust. Our best men are amazed at England's in difference,., if not -apostasy, to the moral bearings of this conflict. They .doubted whether it could be' so,until the evidence became irresistible. We found ourselves traduced by those wild, ought to have ;uttered words-of cheer; we'listened in vain to hear any one great name among England's ruling, statesman, and even among the 'clergy of Presbyterian Scotland, pronounced boldly in our favor. Arthur, Bright and *Mill, are the only three men of note who have really worked with vigor in our behalf.—/bici. THE PERSONAL LEAD OF CHRIST!
