Mr. Mac Gahan'a account of tho condition
of things at riovnri after tlio surrender
presents ti tcrriblo picture. It la a sccuo of
war as it was commonly known to all
nations iri ancient times, before tho hnrbarian,
savagery liad given way to tho conception of
Ihoeommon brotherhood of human creatures,
and also before tho progress of medical
science arfti tho application of many inven
tions had rendered it possible to alloviatoon
a very large scalo the miseries of men
wounded in battle, or tho untold wretched
ness of thoso who fall into Bitch pest houses
as hospitals become in a beleaguered town,
whero there arc no conceptions of sanitary
needs. If wo contrast wars as they aro
commonly known to tho present generation
of men with Btich war as is shown on the
Vid which is of tho typo of ancient war
fare wo shall sco nta glanco how much has
been done by the proper organization of tho
medical nnd surgical sofvico nnd by such
philanthropic movements as that of tho
Society of tho Red Cross. Bavo when a na
tion at largo may bo under tho influence of
somo dominant passion as Franco under
tho impulse of rovengo war in our time
does not imply any animus in the combat
ants j consequently, tho battlo onco over, tho
wounded soldier of ono side passed his can
teen generously to tho maimed enemy near
him j and not only do the Red Cross men,
acting unilcr tho sanction of tho public law
of Europe, gather up nliko nil they find, but
tho proper ambulanco ccrvico of any army
when it hns projierly cared for its own
wounded cares for tho enemy's wounded as
well. Moreover, in nltendanco lo tho' mere
point of tho burial of tho dead there is a
great advance. Somo of tho greatest battlo
fields of our own war witnessed this change
in a wonderful degree j for reinforcements
that oamo up to relievo mcft on hardly con
tested 1 ines never saw either dead or wound
ed, for tho dead were buried almost as fast
as they fell and tho wounded were sent 0
tho rear without delay. Al the diflerences
found in Plevna aro duo to tho absence from
the Ottoman mind of thoso conceptions of
civilization that havo so much ameliorated
the conditions of iho soldiers of other coun
tries! they present final reasons for tho ab
olition of a race that it is clearly impossible
to civilize. In tho awful scenes of the dogs
nml birds fighting over tho bodies of the
dcri wo get in tho nineteenth century a
glimpse of what was characteristic of all
war in Homer's time. It was wrath then,
as now, that

A! Few Precepts Trom Confucius.
" Be severe to yourself, nnd indulgent to
others ; you thus avoid all resentment."
" Tho wio man1 mikes equity and justice
Iho basis of all his conduct j tho right forms
tho rulo of his behavior ; deferenco and
modesty mark his exterior sincerity and
fidelity servo him for nooompllElimcnt."
" Love virtue, nnd the pceplo will bo
virtuous ; tho virtue of a great man is like
tho wind; Iho virtue, of tho humble is like
tho grass j when the wind passes over it tho
grass inclines its head."
" Children shouhf practice filial piety at
home, and fraternal deferenco abroad ; they
Should be attentive; in .their actions, sincere
ami true in their worts, loving' ill with tho
Whole fureo of their afi'ection."
" Return equity and justice for evil dono
to you, and pay goodness by goodness,"
" Without tho virtuo of humanity, ono
can neither be honest in jiovcrtv, nor con
tented in abundance."
" Real virtuo consists in integrity of heart
And loving your neighbor as yourself."
" What I desiro that others should not do
to me, I cquully desiro not to do to them."
" Think not of faults committed in tho
past, when ono has reformed his conduct."
The Itoaiity of Nature.
I am never inorooouvinccd of tho progress
of mankind than when I think of tho senti
ment develojiesl in us by our intercourse
with nature, aud mark how it auguments
and refines with our moral culture, and also
(although this is not so generally admitted)
with our scientific Knowledge. AVo loam
frdm ago to ago to seo tho beauty of tho
world j or, what comes to tho tamo thing,
this lioautiful creation of the sentiment of
beauty is developing itself iu us. Only re
flect what regions lovely as Tarudiso thero
aro over all Asia and Europe, and iu every
quatter of tho globe, waiting to receivo their
fitting inhabitants their counterparts iu the
conscious creature. The men who aro now
living there do not sec the Eden that sur
rounds them. They lack the moral and in
tellectual vision, H is not too bold a thing
to my that, the mind of mpn once cultivat
ed, he will seo nrouud him the Paradise he
laments that ho has-tytt, Kor oup "1'ara
diso Loot," ho will singffji thousand he has
gained. How every tender as well as every
grand sentiment cornea reilKted back to us
from tho Iwuutiful objects of nature I There
in lies their very power to enchant us, Na
t o is full of our own human heart. That
rose has not gentle woman leant 'oyer it,
and left the reflection of her own blush Upon
the leaves of the flower T "To the old man
there is childhood in every bud. No hantl
so rude but that it gathers with tho flower
more and other beauty than what tho dews
