MIsERIEs OF WAR.-But, 10 confine our atcn-
ion to the number of the slain, would give a
cry inadequate idea of the ravages Of the sword.
The lot of those who perish instantaneouslv may
: ,e considered, apart from religious prospects, as
d. comparatively happy, since they are exempt from
hose lingering diseases and slow torments 10 which
othcrs are liable We cannot see an individual
,Xpire, though stranger an enemy, without be-
ng sensiby moved, and prompted BY compassion
20 lend him every assistance in our power
Every trace OF resentment vanishes in moment ::
very other emotion gives way to pity and terror
IN these last cxtremitics we remember nothing
)ut the respect and tenderness due to our com
non nature. What scene then, must field Of
battle present whore thousands are left without
assistance and without pity, with their wounds
,yposed to the piercing air, while the blood free


ing as it flows, binds them to the earth, amid


&c trampling of horses and the insults Of an en-


,ged foe l(thcy are spared by the humanity


fthc enemy, and carried from the field, it is but
rolongation Of torment, Conveyed in uneasy
| nhiccs often to remote distance, through roads
most impossible, they are lodged in ILL., prepared
'ccpacles for the wounded and the sick, where the


srictv of distress battles all the efforts Of human-
and skill, and renders il impossible to give to
'ch the attention he demands. Far from their ma
We home, no tender assiduitics of friendship, no


eli-known voice, no wife or mother or sister, is


aar TO soothe their sorrows, relieve their thirst or


oso their eyes in death. Unhappy man! and
lust you be swept into the grave unnoticed and
/ numbered and no friendly tear be shed for YOUR


ftrings, or mingled with your dust st!-Roberf
