DARBY AND JOAN.
When Darby saw the set ting sun,
Ho swung his scythe and home he run,
Sat down, drank o IT his quart, and paid,
"My work is done, I'll g" to bed."
' 'My work is clone V " retorted Joan,
" 'My work Is done 1' your constant tone;
Dut helpless woman ne'er can say
Her work Is done, till Judgment Day.
You men can sUep at nUnt, hut wo
Must loll." "Whoso fault is that?" quoth he.
"I know our meaning," Joan replied,
"Dut, sir, my tongue shall not be tied;
I will go ou, and let you know
What work we women have to dot
First, in the morning, though we feel
As sick as drunkards, when they reel
les, feel such pains in back or head
As would confine you men to bed
We ply Lho brush, we wield the broom,
We air tho beds and right the room'
Tho cows must next be milked and then
Wo get tho breakfast for the men,
Ere this is done, with whimpering cries
And bristly hair tho children rise;
TIicao must bo d reused and dosed with rue,
And fed nnd nil because of you.
We next" hero Darby scratched his head,
And stole otT grumbling to his bed ;
And only Mild, as on he run,
Zounds I woman s clack Is never dono,"
At early dawn, tro Phcrous rose,
Old Joan resumed her talc of woes;
When Darby thus "I'll end tho strife,
ue you me man nnd Ithe wife;
Take you thoscylho and mow, while I
Will all your boasted cares supply,"
'Content," quoth Joan, "give mo my stint;"
This Darby did, and out sho went.
Old Darby rose und seized the broom,
And whirled the dirt about the room;
Which having done, ho scarce knew how,
Ho hied to milk tho brindled cow.
The brindled cow whisked round her tall
Iu Darby's eyes, and kicked thu pall;
Tho clown, perplexed with grief and pain,
Swore he'd ne'er try to milk again ;
When turning round, in sad amaze,
He saw his cottage In a blaze
For as ho chanced to brush the loom
In careless haste, he fired tho broom,
The fire at last subdued, ho sworo
The broom and he bhoutd meet no more.
Fresssd by mlsfortuue and perplexed,
Darby prepared for breakfast next ,
Rut what to get he scarcely knew
Tho bread was spenr, tho butter, too.
Ills hnuds bedaubed with pastound Hour,
Old Darby labored full an hour;
Rut, luckless wight 1 thou coulds't not make
The bread take form of loaf or cake.
As every door wide open stood,
In pushed the sow in quest of food;
And Btumbllng onwards with her snout
O'crfret the churn tho milk ran out,
As Darby turned, the sow to beat,
Tho sllpp'ry cream betrayed his feet;
He caught the bread trough In his fall,
And down camo Darby, trough, and ull.
The children, wakened by tho clatter.
Startup and cry, "Oh! what's the matter?"
Old Jowler barked and (abby mewed,
And hapless Darby bawled aloud,
"Return, my Joan, as heretofore,
I'll play tho housewife's part no more ;
Since now, by sad experience taught,
Compared to thiue. my work is naught,
Henceforth, as business calls, I'll take
Content, the plough, tho scythe , tho rake,
And never more trangrcss tho lino
Our fates havo marked, while thou art mine.
Then Joan, return ; as heretofoie,
I'll vex your honest soul no more;
Let each our proper task attend
Forglvo the past, aud strive to mend."
How it was Done.
A gay young spark who longed had sighed
To Uke an heiress lor a bride,
Though not in vnlu ho had essayed
To win tho fcwor of the maid,
Yet a fearing, from his humble Btatlon
To meet her father's co'd negation,
Made up his mind without delay
To take theglrl and run awuy I
A pretty plou hat could bo finer? .
Rut, as the mntd was yet a minor,
There still remained this slight obstruction
He might be punished for "abduction !'
Accordingly he thought It wise
To see the 'squire and takoadvlco
A cunning knaye, who loved a trick
As well as fees, and skilled to pick,
As lawyers can, some fatal flaw
To help a client cheat the law.
Refore him straight tho easo was laid,
Who, when the propperfue was paid,
Conceived at once a happy plan,
Aud thus the counsellor began:
"Young man, no doubt tho wisest course
Is this : To-night you get a horse,
And let your lady love get on.
As soon as ever this Is done,
You get 'n too but, hark ye ! mind,
Sho rides hemic; you rido behind;
And thus, you see, you make it true
The lady runs away with you l"
That very night ho got the horse
And put the lawyer's plan In force;
Who found next day no laughing matter
Tho truant lady was his daughter!

LOSSOF.LIFHINWAR.
Tha shocking nlaughtcr which has
characterized recent Europoan battles
tins naturally directed nttcntlon to tho
cotnimrntlvo !lood-shcd of theso nnd
former struggles, and suggested esti
mates of tho practical bearing on the
question of tho new weapons of war
fare, whether rilled cannon, tho zunrf-
nadelgeicehr and mitrailleuse aro or aro
not, as tho gulllotino was alleged to bo,
beneficent inventions, appears to do-
pend on theso calculations. For If it
should appear that, while war costs no
more men than formerly, it is much
fcooner over, and that this is in an ap
preciable mcasuro consequent on tho
uso of better or moro eiTectlvo wea
pons, tho afllrmativo of this proposi
tion mint bo accepted. War concerns
non-combatants as well as others, and
tlio shorter It is tho better, of course,
fur all industrial interests. If 100,000
men must bo killed it is better for their
country that they should be killed in a
month than In n yeor. A recognition of
this principle would seem in part to
havo inspired tho existing Prussian
military system. Tho accounts that
reach us of tho current strife aro cer
tainly terrible and distressing. Tho do
tails of mangled bodies, of colored
rags, glued together with blood and
brains, and pinned in fantastic shapes
with bits of bone, are sickening beyond
measure. It h, however, a debatable
question, granting that war must still
be, whether tho soldier is worse off for
going through a great danger for a
short time, rather than a considerable
danger for a long time. An cxplana
tion of sumo details of tho loss of lifo
in past and recent battles will assist tho
formation of intelligent opinion.
For tlio losses ns well as the numbers
engaged iu tho battles of antiquity, we
havo but uncertain data. Such history
as wo possess asserts that at Marathon
10,000 Greeks overthrow 500,000 Per
sian:., and that 200,000 of tho latter were
slain. This, of courso is tho Greek his
tory nnd not tho Persian. At the ta
king of Jerusalem by Tittjs, rnqre thnn
1,000,000 Jews aro believed to havo per
ished. At Naissus, when Claudius
defeated the Goths, it Is said 300,000 of
the latter were killed. Thoseigeof Acre
coit an equal number of Christian sol
diers. At the battle of Hastings 80,000
wero killed a vast proportion of tno
numbers engaged. Tho famous strug
gle at Bannockburn was one of tho most
disastrous for England that ever oc
currcd before its date or since, tho total
lo-is being 50,000, or one-half of King
Eii'.VAitn'a whole army. At Cressy tho
English under the Black Princo killed
nearly as many as their own number of
thu French, f. t, rimowhatover 30,000;
and at Agincourt Henry V. did even
better, for, with only 9,000 men, ho is
declared to havo beaten G0,000, of whom
10,000 were killed and 11,000 taken pris
oners. Tho records stato that at lllen
helm tho English under MARLBOROUOn
slew 27,000 of their adversaries, and
took 10,000 prisoners. At Fontenoy,
where Marshal Sank, at tho head of
tho French, defeated the English under
tho Duko of Cumberland, both sides
confessed to a loss of about 12,000. At
Malplaquet the Allies lost one-sixth of
their wholo forco of 03,000 men, and the
French one-fifth of theirs, of 00,000
Tho loss-of tho Allies at Austcrlitz was
00,000 one-third of tlteir wholo array;
while that of tho French was 10,000
one seventh more than theirs. Of tho
1 10,000 Austriiinsat tho battle of Wag
ram, 22.000'wero wounded or slain, and
of thu 180,000 French, 20,000. At Boro
dlno, tho awful number of -11,000 Bus'
shins wero put hors tie combat, being
ono-thlrd of their wholo army, and 30
000 French, or one-fourth of theirs. Tho
Allied loss at Leipslc was 18,000 one.
sixth of their army, and that of tho
French, 15,000 one-quarter. At Water -
loo, of tho 110 000 Allies, tho loss was
20,000, and of tho 72,000 French, 35,000,
or more than one-half.
Iu tho present generation the great
European battles may be considered to
have been Sulferliio, KoniggratzorSad
owa, Metz, and Sedan, At Solferino,
tho French and Italians had 152,000,
and lost 17,000 men, or nne-nluth, aud
tho Auitrluin had lliO.OOO, and lost 20,
000, or one-eighth of their wholo forco.
Of 220,000 Pruians at Sadowa, but 0,
000, or one-tweiity-thlrd, and of tho
310,000 Austrians, 31,000, or ono-Boventh
wero lost. Tlio present estimate is that
there wero 200,000 French in tho three
dityh' battles beforo Metz, and that 50,-.
000 of them wero destroyed, and that of
tlio 250,000 Germans, 10,000, or ono sixth
l represent tlio losses. It is dlfllcult as
yet to proiiouneo upon tlio number of
killed and wounded at Sedan. It is va
riously reckoned from 20,000 to 40,000
men. Tlio French who wero mado
prisoners numbered somo 85,000 tho
first instance of tho surrender of so
large it body of troops sluco tho Romans
capitulated to tho S.imnitcs at tlio Cau
'dlno Forks, In our American civil war,
tho most sanguinary battles exhibited
mortality of nearly tlio samo rolativo
proportions as tho moit blooJy of tho
European struggles. About 100,000 men
5S,000 Federals and 10,000 Confeder
ates aro recorded to havo beon engaged
at Antietam ; tho national loss is set
down at 11,120, and tlio Confederates at
about 10,000; tlie aggregato loss thus
being more than a quarter of tho whole
number of both combatants. Nearly
thu same numbers with tlio same rela
tive casualties wero seon at tho second
Bull Run. At Gettysburg tho national
lo.is Is recorded at 23,100, and that of
the Confederates at about 80,000, Tho
numbers on each fido having been about
equal, or, Eoy 75,000 each, moro than
ono-thlrd of tho wholo wero missing or
destroyed at tho end of tho battle. It
Is commonly reckoned that tho Ameri
can civil war cost by death in action,
wounds and ' disease, ' about 1,000,000
nblo bodied men, which is also thenum
ber Bald to liavu been expended in tho
wars of Nai'oi.eon I.
It seems probable, ou tlio whole, that
former battles havo often been tia de
structive as tho worst of our own day,
and that the work of death Is usually
dono in a shorter time than itonco was.
Indeed there Is no othor way than this
of oxplainiug how it was that In such
frightful battles as those of Borodino,
Eylau, and Bautzen, with the ottl mus
ket and artillery, tho ratio of killed and
wounded was as great as In tho Franco
Prussian war to-day, with all tho Im
proved appliances of Chassepots and
rilled guns. Our own war, extending
over a vast area nnd in a now country,
wns highly exceptional, as was also that
of tho Crimea, for obvious reasons. But
whero tho combatants aro nblo quickly
to concontrato their strength nnd get at
each other, Issues aro much moro speed
ily decided. All tho later European
contests exemplify this, nnd seem to
show that tho protracted encounters of
past history aro unlikely to bo repeated.
Indeed, whatever tho will or lho obsti
nacy of tlio combatants, it is plain that
no such fighting as wo havo lately seen
could bo long maintained. Exhaustion
must soon como for both combatants.
Tho Inherent property of tlio gigantic
conflicts are, that they must bo short
ones. Destruction is swifter and moro
fearful, but that it is sooner over is, at
least, some consolation for those who
witness without being ablo to prevent
tho devastation nnd suffering wrought
by tho combats of modern nations. A.

Tlie Count Von iilottltc.
After the great battle of Sedan, and
the capitulation of a wholo French

hundred thousand men, of five hundred
cannon, of generals by tens and officers
by hundreds, men by thousands, nnd
an emperor to crown the wholo tho
King who had shaied thobattlo with
his soldiers sat down to dinner, and pro
posed tlio health of tho soldiers who
had fought with lilm. The speech Is
singularly plain and non-egotistic. Said
tho King: "Wo must today, out of
gratitude, drink tho health of my brave
army. ou, War Minister Von Rooti
havo sharpened our sword; you, Ucn-
eral Moltke, havo guided it; und you,
Count Bismarck, have for years, bv po
litical management, brought Prussia to
It? present elevation. Let us, then,
drink tho army, to tlio three I have
named, and every onoelso present who,
according to hisnbllity, has contributed
to the present success." Of those three,
General Moltke has tho crcditof bavin
planned all tho campaign ; a campaign
so wonderful in tho conception Indeed
its second conception, after tho first was
rendered nugatory by tho inactivity of
tho French and so admirably success
ful in its execution, that woshall vainly
search history for a parallel to it. Nev
er before for tho vast numbers of an
clent armies aro chiefly fabrications-
were such enormous masses of men op
posed to each other; never were the
appliances of science and art of so ad
vauced a kind brought into tho field ;
never was the collapse of braggailocia
and rude daring so complcto; never tho
triumph of patient learnlng.cndurnnco,
knowledge, and geisl so thorough. Tho
Germans wero ns much despised by tlio
Frencli boldiers previous to Woorth and
Wissemberg as tho "poor, patient Eng
lish" wero derided by tho French
knights who threw dice for them beforo
tho battle of Aginconrt. Yet tho Prus
sian, Bavarian, or Badaneso has unde
niably proved himself tho better sol
dier j more intelligent, docile, stifl'er in
battle, and witli a great deal moro dash
and activity In him. After the surren
der of Sedan, tho Gorman commission
ers wero kept waiting for somo time
an hour or so in tlio morning, beforo
tlio French officers had arisen, to ur
rango for tho disposition of tho captur
ed men. "Well," said aGernion, "you
Frenchmen aro always asleep, whilo wo
officers are obliged to bo always awake.
I think you might have got up u little
earlier, under the circumstances." Who
made the Prussian army what it is?
Who has given this sweetness and light
to tlio heavy German soldier? Who
has been tlio head-piece '.' Who could
have designed tills success, which was
not a chance but a certainty? Who
con have thrown upon French soil, on
this tlio Gth day of October, IS70, 050,-
000 men, nnd has hitherto fed and sup
ported them, armed them efficiently,
aud has dragged with them enough
guns and munition to Invest not only
Paris, but four other Impregnable for
tressesof which one, if not two, have
nllready fallen ? It is tho Head that has
dono tills. For wo mint remember
that amongst tlio astounding folllts
which gain prevalence witli tho un
thinking, noun is greater than that
which talks about a "soldier's battle,"
anil repeats tho rliodomontado that tho
men win tlio baltio while tho general
gets nil the glory. All that a private
soldier knows is, thaMio enters the bat
tle, obeys orders, hears a great noi-e,
and is ordered to retreat or pursue As
a rule, thu bttttlo is won beforo it is
fought ; and the German campaign was
gained beforo it was undertaken. Thu
head that planned this was wo havo

Moltke.

hours, but gavo no evidenco of being
unwell. As ho walked Into his dining
room, whero they wero waiting lea for
him, lie, took his scat, and ws discov
ered to havo lost his speech,
I was summoned at once and found
ids pulse rather weak, with cold ex

remedies at once, and sent for Dr. Mad-i.-oii,
who continued to attend him
iitli mo to ilie end. Ho was in a short
tlnn able to speak a little, sometimes
in ententes, but generally only in ro
ply to questions. Ho remained thus
disposed to doze for most ot the attack;
could bo easily aroused and almost to
the very last ,eemed to understand all
that was said to him, and responded by
worus or signs, witnout any great uo-pres-sion.
Ho evidently neither expect

ho begun to retrograde, and on Monday
owning tho 10th instant alarming
symptoms set iu, and wo lind little
hopes after that time. We consider his
protracted yrief ut the condition of his
country and the continued suppression
of his strong feeling, the chiej remote
causes, and excessive fatiguo and men
tal application, the immediate cause of
congestion of the veins of the bruin;
and though not piodueing apoplexy, ot
which there was no evidence (ho mov

Tho Radicals tell us poor peoplo pay
no taxes.
Let us see.
The great manufacturers may think
they pay tho taxes manufactured
goods; butdotlicy?
Whatover tax they pay they charga
to tho wholesale purchasor, and rocelva
It back with in tores t.
Tho wholesalo dealer adds tho tax,
with e till moro interest, to tho retail
Btoro-kocpcr.
The storekeeper puts ills own tax and
all the accumulated taxes tho othen
have charged to him upon each and
every piece of ' (ho urticlo when ho eoNa
It over the counter to tho workingmaa.
This is what makes things .so dear,
Tho laborer buying goods in the store
has to pay not only tho original valoo
of tho thing but all tho tax that has
beon paid at each stago by tho manu
facturer, wholesalo dealer and store
keeper. Each of these In turn recover from the
next man tho amount of tax they have
paid ; but tho last man, tho laborer, the
consumer, tho ultimate owner of the
urticlo who does not sell it to anybody
else, but keeps it, uses it, and wears It
out, who pays him tho accumulated
taxation which all theso richer men
have, ono after tlie other piled upon
the goods, to enable them to meet tho
demands of the tax-gatherer ?
The tax is shifted from manufacturer
to tlie wholesale dealer, and from him
to tho workingtuau.
But on whom shall the worklngman
shift tho taxes?
He must pay it nil, uud gets noiio of
it back fr jin nuybody else.
As long ns the," goods are being sold
aud transferred from hand to hand, so
lonn the tux is kept shifting from ono
man's back to another; but when tho
article ceases to bo turned over in trade
and becomes applied to the samo use it
was designed then tho tax can bo no
further shifted.
Tho man who wears thu shirt pays
tho tax of the storekeeper who sold it,
of tho wholesale dealer who supplied It
io tho storekeeper, and of every man
who has bundled it, back to the cotton
millionaire In whose mills it was
woven.
As Jefferson says "Taxation Is llko
ix ball rolling down stairs ; It bumps on
each step, but finally rests on the
lowest."
It is tho working masses who pay tho
taxes ; It is they who have the deepest
interest in the honest and economical
administration of tho Federal Govern
ment, It is their money that pays tho ex
travagance of Radicalism at Washing
ton. Tho men in this country who work
with their bands for dally bread ara
tho ones who pay the four hundred
million dollars a year which the Radi
cals contrivo to dissipate in carrying on
the government. J2r.

If lho wnndortng death-bed utteran
ces of tho two great Confederate chief
tains, "Stonewall" Jackson and Robert
E. Lee, may bo considered ns final upon
tho lato Confederate Geuernl A. P. Hill,
wiio lost his lifo at tlio closing battle of
tho war, then he must bo accepted by
history as the most trusted coadjutor of
theso eminent commanders. In hi
dying moments, Jackson exelalraetl,
"Send A. P. Hill to tho front!" Upon
ids death-bed at Lexington, General
Lee, as tho telegraph states, his mind
roverting to tho bloody events of tho
war, "onco ordered his teut to be struck,
and at another time desired Hill to be
sent for." Thus does it appear that, lu
tho surprcmo mcmcnts of the closing
hours of those men upon whoso shoul
ders rested tho heaviest burdens of tho
war upon tho side of the Confederacy,
camo tho utterances, "born of delirium"
but more solemn for that reason, that
stamps General A. P. Hill as a man
whoso presenco was to be doMrea and
whoso fidelity was assured. No higher
compliment could bo paid to his mem.
ory than these parting words of Lee
and Jackson. .y. 1'. H'orfd.
