Ay, Famine, Pestilence, and War, in the alli
ed armies of France and England, have not left
their work incomplete. Ship-loads of sick and
wounded are taken trom the scene of carnage.—
Tossed upon the stormy waves of the Eurine du
ring several days, many die before they reach
their destined asylum. Hut vessel after vessel
arrives with its freight of human suffering, and
the great hospital at Scntan is speedily filled
The noble women who left England to nurse
the wounded soldiers
. were already engaged in
their srdeous labors. Sara, too, was there.—
She bad soothed the !sat momenta of many a
stifferer, and now looked . pale and wearied with
&mooted exertion. The might of their agony
was almost greater than she could boar—far, far
more terrible than she had ever anticipated.—
She, too, found that tilt.* were realities in war
over which history silently draws a veil. Man

Yet Sara did not falter in 11N self-imposed
task, though words in unknown totweis, shrieks
of pain, mutterings of prayer, ittg - -esven execra
tions were often her only rew‘d. Though un
eouth, mutilated forms, which ogre gloried in the
perfection of manly strength and Beauty, constant
ly wet her eye, she still persevered with unswer
ving fidelity to the cause in which she was en
gared A deaf ear was never turned by her to
the sufferer's entreaties, especially when they
came from oue of her own countrymen. The
lame sympathy, care, and attention was b es t ow •
ed upon all.
On the day of which we speak, many new pa.
tient. , were brought into the hospital. It was a
solemn and distressing eight. Here was a tall
grenadier who had lost loth his legs, and, though
ho wa, now dying in great agony, no murmur or
other iudieltion of pain escaped his lips It was
the ~ r oicism of a Spartan hero: From the damp
perspiration collected on his forehead, you might
cuticeive somewhat of the he endured.
Another near him—in the wild delirium of fe
ver—faneied himself in a cavalry charge, tramp
ling Imo the enemy's infantry, while be shout
ed again and again as in the frenzy of the fight.
Further ou, might be heard , shrieks or low con
vulsive in. , aniugs, which told their own tale. A

The "Mine the Oro" was a gambling saloon,
situated on Washington street, and opposite the
"El Dorado," and in 1849 It was the principal
resort of the disbanded soldiers of the California
regiments, and also of the soldiers who had been
engaged in the war with Mezioo. Behind one
of the largest Monte banks in the room sat a min
who had won for himself honorable mention and
an officer's commission was given him for his
bravery at the storming of Monterey, hut pre•
ferring the climate of California and its golden
prospects to a more northern home, he embarked
for that country at the end of the war with Mexi
co, and upon his arrival be opened a bank for
gambling. Theemigrants came in by thousands,
and after his arrival a young man entered this
saloon, and seated himself at the bank, andstak.
ed various sums upon the cards until he had lust
nearly all tt.e money he possessed. Excited
with the play and maddened by his losses he
seemed the dealer of cheating; the dealer replied
sharply to the accusation—the lie passed, when
the young man struck a severe blow upon the
face; as quick as thought the sharp report of a
pistol followed, and the gambler's clothing was
covered with the young man's blood—he had
shot him right through the breast The room
was soon cleared of the spectators present, the
doors soon closed, and medical assistance called,
in aid of the wounded man The gambler sat
wordily over his bank, running the-small monte
cards through his 6u4ers, and perhaps thinking
of the deed just perpetrated, when the wounded
man gave a moan of agony as the doctor's probe
reached the bottom of the wound. The doctor
enquired what State he was from .
"From Vermont," replied the wounded man
The gambler raised its head, for it had been a
long time since he bad seen a person from the
Hume of his childhood, and Vermont being his
native State, the mere mention of its name in•
teresited him The doctor next inquired the name
of the place where his parents resided, if he had

him with the greatest anxiety until his inspec

Aud the gambler sank down in a swoon upon
the floor The wounded man raised himself
upon his elbows; his glassy eyes wandered about
the room as if in seseh of some particular per
son
"Mary," said he, "is brother William here?
I.—" and the words choaked in his throat, the
gurgling blood stopped his utterance, sud he sank
back a corpse upon his pillow. The wile knelt
again, but it was beside a dead body, and iuvoked
the mercy of God upon his soul, and forgiveness
of the murderer.
The gambler awoke from his swoon, and stag
gered up to the wife and said:
"Mary, would it were otherwise, for I have
nothing to live fornow; the dead and dying do not
want anything in this world; take this certificate
of deposit to our aged father, and tell our parents
that we are both desd 7 —but, oh! do not tell them
how we died!"
Before the woman could reply, or any one in
terfefe, the report of that pistol sounded again,
and the fatricide had ceased to live.

A WARNING TO "rise' FATMItitS AND SONS
We heard the other day of a ludicrous inci
dent which occurred not far from this good city,
and which shows how liable people are w make
fools of themselves when saturated with alcoholic
beverages As a general thing, a drunken man
either represents a devil or a fool, and sometimes
both these amiable characters. together. Of course,
the latter is the most harmless, as nobody is in
jured but the performer It is the noisy, quar
relsome drunkard that we fear most in society,
fur his acts; but the silly drunkard exerts the
most pernicious influence. Many persons would
scorn ur fear to get intoxicated if it s made them
rabid or dangerous, but consider it harmless to
get slightly merry now and then, and if they are
a little silly, why, it's of no consequence. But .
this preamble we fear will be a bore
Mr. Discount is a stout, bald-headed, red-faced
gentleman, some fifty years of age He i s a so rt
of broker, shaver, a dealer in notes, speculates
and trades in anything, if he can make money
by it. He generally has money to let at 25 or
30 per cent , but is remardably sharp after the
security ludeed, he sometime. takes "eal.ate-r
al" for small loans, and invariably h.is several
gold watches fur sale People generally call
him "Old Discount " Old Discount is a wine
bibber, or rather, a brandy-bibber, and he loves
a "good time - with all the zest "fatly fast young
