IVTISOELXAWEOUS
THE BATTLE OF DUIISAIl.
P.V J. T. IIEADLKV.
The spot on which Oliver Cromwell
drew up his little army, was a small nar
row tongue of land, running out into lb
Frith or Forth; high and bleak where it
joined the main land and overlooking on
either side the restless ocean. The town
of Dunbar was behind him; a single man
sion, Brocksmoulh house, faced his ex
treme left; else there was not a tingle
covering on the desolate expansion, save
one hut? into which the cannons were car
ried, to shelter them from the rain which
fell in torrents.
On this bleak and narrow peninsula,
only a mile at its base, behold the white
tents of Cromwell's army. In front of
him, landward, is a desolate, unsurpassa
ble moor, with a low ridge of hills be
yond, on which stands the Scotch army,
twenty-three thousand strong. At the
base of these runs a small streamlet, forty
feet wide and almost as many deep; fur
nishing only two passes over which troops
can march. Cromwell's ships arc in the
offing, his now last resource; the lion is at
length caught, and the prey deemed secure.
On the 2d of September, Oliver looks
forth upon the desolate heath, on which
his army is drawn up in order of battle,
and lo! what a sigh: meets his gaze. De
hind him is the sea, swept by a strong
wind; and before him blocking him from
shore to shore, a chosen army, outnum
bering his own, two to one. The white
tentslhat arc sprinkled over this low Pe
ninsula, rock to and fro in the storm of
sleet and hail; and darkness and gloom
hang over the Puritan host. This strip
of land is all that he had left in Scotland,
while a powerful army stands ready to
sweep him into the sea. Put it is in cir
cumstances like these that his character
shines forth with the greatest splendor.
Though his overthrow seems certain, he
exhibits no discouragement or fear, for
'he was a strong man in the dark perils
of war; in the high places of the field hope
shone in him like a pillar of fire, when it
had gone out in all others." At four o'
clock that evening as he was watching the
enemy's movements through his glass, he
saw that the Scotch commander was
bringing down the whole army from the
hill To the brook at its base to be ready
next day to commence the assault. In this
movement his quick cyo detected an er
ror, which like Iionaparlc, he determined
to avail himself of.
Leslie, in executing this manoeuvre, had
packed his main body into a narrow space,
where it could not easily deploy: while
the entire right wing stretched into the
plain. Cromwell saw that if he could
rout this wing, and roll it back in disorder
on the unwieldy mass, before it could
draw up in battle order in the open
ground, victory would be sure. That
night, therefore, his twelve thousand men
were placed in battle array, with nothing
white about them to show conspicuous in
the dusky twilight, and with orders as
soon as the morning dawned, to fall on
the enemy. All night long the drenched
army stood, without tent to cover them in
the cold storm; while the moan of the sea
as it rolled heavily on the beach, seemed
chanting a requiem before-hand, for the
dead that should encumber the field. Hut
amid the shriek of the blast, and the stea
dy roll of the waves, the voice of prayer
was heard along the lines; and many a
ihnt before n'urht. should beat
no more, poured forth its earnest suppli-
cations lo the lioci 01 jaiucs.
Toward morning the clouds broke
away, and the moon thonc dimly down
on the silent host. Cromwell, who had
been intently watching the enemy's mo
tions, now saw a column moving down
the South pass; and lifting up his arm,
exclaimed, "the Lord has delivered them
into our hands!" The trumpet then sound
ed the charge the artillery opened their
fire, while louder than all rang the shouts.
The Lord of Hosts! The Lord of
Hosts!" and infantry and cavalry poured
in one wild torrent together on the ene
my. The first division of the foot recoiled,
when Cromwell ordering up his own re
giment, with levelled pike, pressed sternly
forward amid the carnage, bearing down
all opposition At that moment the cavalry
came thundering on; the Scotch paused in
terror, the next moment the clattering
tempest came upon them. Over the brook
and over, the hostile ranks they went,
tramping down the steady battalions like
grass beneath their feet, and bearing three
thousand souls to the next world m their
fierce passage. In the midst of this terri
ble charge, on which Cromwell's eye res
ted with the deepest anxiety, the sun rose
over the naked hills, and struggled through
the mist that was gently moving away
from the battle field, sending his level
beams athwart the commingled host.
' TUtTtfMT -arm nr ftrr rr r -x.tM.jaar:
So did the sun rise on Napoleon at fio
rodino, as lie stood and surveyed the field
on which 200,000 men were moving to
battle, and the sublime expression burst
from his lips, "Heboid the sun of Auslcr-,
litz!'' But Cromwell, carried away by a
higher sentiment than glory, gave vent to
his emotions in sublime language. As the
LIazinr fireball ruscrslowly into view, and
poured its light over the scene he burst
forth. "Let Cod arise, and lit His
enemies Ls scattered!"" Aye, and they
were scattered. The right wing, being
broken and disordered, was rolled in a
confused mass upon the main body of the
army; and the panic spreading, those
twenty thousand men were' sweeping hith
er and thither over the field. At the base
of Door Hill, on which the enemy had
been encamped, Cromwell ordered a gen
eral halt; and while the horse could be
rallied for the chase bade the army sing
the one hundred and seventeenth psalm.
At the foot of Door Hill, they uplifted it
lo tho tune of Bangor, or some still higher
score, and roiled it strong and great against
the sky. The mighty anthem died away
on the field, the shout of battle was again j
heard; and the fierce cavalry drove amid
the broken ranks, riding down the fugi- j
tives, and sabering them without mere',
till the ground was covered with the dead.
Three thousand were slain, and ten
thousand taken prisoners, with fifteen
thousand stands of arms, two hundred
stands of colors, and twenty-seven can
nons remained as spoil to the victors. It
was an utter route to the Scotch: the
whole country round became eervercd
with a disorderly multitude, through
which the steady squadrons of the Repub
lican galloped without resistance.
Horace Mann on Laliar.
We give below an extract from a speech
of Mr. Mann in the House of Representa
tives, on the 30th of June, 18f8, in which
the speaker pays a splendid tribute to in
ventive genius:
"It was not the design of Providence
that the work of the world should be per
formed by muscular strength Cod lias
filled the earth and imbued the elements
with energies of greater power than that of
all the inhabitants of a thousand plane
likc ours. Whence come our necessaries j
and our luxuries? those comforts and ap
pliances that make the diflercncc between
a houseless, wandering tribe of Indians in
the Far West, and a New England village?
They do not come wholly or principall
from the original, unassisted strength of
the human arm, but from the employment,
through intelligence and skill, of those
great natural forces,' with which the boun
tiful Creator has filled ever part of the
Universe. Caloric, gravitation, expansi
bility, comprchcnsibility. electricity, chem
ical affinities and repulsions, spontaneous
velocities these are the mighty agents
which the intellect of man harnesses to the
car of improvement. The application of
water, and wind, and steam, to the propul
sion of machinery, and to the transporta
tion of men and merchandise from place'to
place has added ten thousand fold to the
actual products of human industry. How
small the wheel which the stoutest laborer
can turn, and how soon will he be weary.
Compare this with a w heel driving a thou
sand spindles and looms, which a stream
of water can turn and never tire. A loco
motive will take five hundred men, and
bear them on their jouiney hundreds of
miles a day. Look at these same five,
hundred men, starting from the same point
and attemping the same distance with all
the pedestirian's or the equestrian's toil
and tardinqss. The cotton mills of Mas
sachusetts will turn out more cloth in one
day than could have been manufactured by
all the inhabitants of the eastern continent
during the tenth century. On an clement
which in ancient time was supposed to be
exclusively within the control of the gods,
and where it was deemed impious for hu
man power to intrude, even there the gi
gantic forces of nature, w hich human sci
ence and skill have enlisted in their service
confront and overcome ihc raging of the
elements breasting tempests and tides,
escaping reef and lec-shores, and careering
triumphant around the globe
1 lie velo-
city of winds, the weight of waters, and
the rage of steam, are powers each one of in the water, the perspiration dropped from
which is infinitely stronger than, oU thcumc like rain; th black was striking out
strength of all the . nations "ffrtll rfrr-bs ofl
mankind, were it all gathered into a single
arm. And all these energies arc given us
on one condition the condition of intelli
gence tkat is of education.
"Had God intended that the work of the
world should be done by human bones and
sinews, he would have given us an arm as
solid and as strong as a shaft of a steam
engine; and enabled us to stand day and
night, ami turn the crank of a steamship
while sailing to Liverpool or Calcutta.
Had Cod designed the human muscles to
do the work of the world, then instead of.
the ingredients of gun-powder or gun-cotton,
and the expansive force of heat, he
would have given us hands which could
lake a. granite quarry and break its solid
acres into Suitable and symmetrical blocks,
as easily as we now open an orange. - Had
he intended us for bearing burdens, he
would have given us Atlantean shoulders,
by which we could carry tho vast freights
of railroad cars and McrTUishp zissp -por-
ter carries his pack. lie would have given
us kings by. which we could blow fleets
before us; and wings to sweep ' over the !'
ocean wastes. But, instead 'of iron :;.rmp, '
and Atlantean shoulders, and the lungs of
Boreas, ho has given us a' mind, a soul, a j
capacity fof acquiring knowledge' ami thus J
of appropriating all these energies of nature j
to our own use. Instead of telescopic and ;
microscopic eyes, he has given us power
to iuunu ihs telescope and microscope.--
Instead cf ten thousand finders, he has (
given us genius inventive of the. power j

"Well done, Ned!" cried some of the

straining our utmost, excited by the cheers
of our respective partisans. Suddenly the
voice of the boatswain was hoard shouting
"A sharC! a shark! Come back for God's

"Lay aft, and lower the cutter down,"

soon breasted the black, but could not head

be first, for we each fancied the last man
would be taken. Yet we scarcely seemed
to move; the ship appeared as far as over

A young man recently escaped from the
galleys at Toulousel He was strong and
vigorous, and snon made his way across
the country and escaped pursuit. lie ar
rived, the next morning, before a c ottage
in an open field, and stopped to beg some
thing to eat, and concealment while he re
posed a little. But he found the inmates
of the cottage in the greatest distress.
Four little children sat trrmbling in one
corner, their mother was weeping and
tearing her hair, and the father walking
the fioor in agony.
The galley slave asked what was the
matter, and the father replied that they
were that morning to be turned out of
doors because they could not pay their
rent.
"You sec me driven to despair," said
the father, "my wife and little children
widiout food or shelter, and without' the
means to provide any for then.'
The convict listened to his tale with
teats of sympathy, and the n sank
"I will give you the means. 1 have but
just escaped from the galleys; wh ievcr se
cures and takes back an escaped prisoner
is entitled to a reward of fifty lraues.
How much docs .your rent amount to?
"Forty francs," answered the father.
"Well," said the other, "put "a cord
around my body, I will follow you to tho
city, they will recognize me, r.nd you will
get lift)' francsVor bringing mo back."
"No, never," exclaimed the astonished
listener, "my children should starve a doz
en times before - I would do so base a
thing." .
The generous young man insisted and
declared at last that he would go and give
himself up, if the latter would not consent
to take him. After a lonr .struggle the
latter yielded, and taking his preserver
the arm, Icdjiim to the city and to tho
Mayor's office. K very body was surprised
that a little man like the father had been
able to capture, such a strong young fellow
but the proof was before then the fifty
francs were paid, and the prisoner sent
back to the galleys. But after he was
gone, the father asked a private interview
of the Mayor, to whom he told the whole
tale. The Mayor was no much affected
that he not only added fifty francs more to
the father's purse, hut wrote immediately
to tiic Minister of justice, begging the noble
young prisoner's release. The minh-ter
examined into the affair, and finding that
it was a comparatively small ofienee which
had condemned the voinig man to thcn-al-leys,
and that he' had already served out
more than his time, he ordered his release.
Is not the whole incident beautiful?
Bell Lin!.
One meets in the forest of Cuiana, a
bird much celebrated with the Spaniar.te,
called eampamro, or bell-bird. Its- voice
is loud and clear as the sound of a bell, it
may be heard at the distance of a league.
No song, no sound can occasion the aston
ishinwit produced by the tinkling of the
campancrc. He sings morning and even
ing like most other birds, at mid-day he
sings also. A stroke of the bell i heard,
a pause of a minute ensues; a second tink
ling and a pause of the same duration is
repeated; finally a third ringing, followed
by a silence of six or eight minutes.
"Aeeton," says an enthusiastic traveller,
"would halt inhe heat of the chase, Orpheus,-would
let fall his flute to listen: so
novel, so sweet, and romantic is the link
ling of the snow w hite cainpanero.'.".
This bird is about the size of a jay; from
its head arises a conical tube of about three
inches long, on a brilliant black, sjot!ed ,
with small white feathers, which commu
nicates with llio palate, and which, when,
inflated with air. resembles an far ol
corn.

eighty .thousand d ollars must now be tl-ue

payment on the sugar plantation, but that
