THE BATTLE-FIELD AT NIGHT. 
Ah: whence yon glare 
Thai fires the arch of heaven? that dark red smoke, 
Blotting the silver moon? The stars arc quenched 
, i In darkness, and Ihe pure spangling snow 
( Gleams faintly through the gloom that gathers round. 
' Hark to that roar, whose Swift and dcaloming peals 
, f In countless echoes through the mountains ring, 
Startling pale Midnight, on her starry throne! 
) ( Now swells the intermingling din; the jar, 
t ( Frequent and frightful, of the bursting bomb; 
i | The falling beam, tiie shriek, the groan, the shout, 
t The ceaseless clangor, and the rush of men 
t ! Inebriate with rage’—loud and more loud 
( / The discord grows, till pale Death shuts the scene, 
( ( ( And o’er the conqueror and the conquered draws 
; (’ His cold and bloody shroud. Of all the men 
< ( Wliom day’s departing beam saw blooming there, 
| ^ In proud and vigorous health,—of all the hearts 
( ( That beat with anxious life, at sunset there— 
How few survive! how few are beating now! 
( All in deep silence, like the fearful jalm 
< 1 That slumbers in the storm’s portentous pause; 
Save when the frantic wail of widowed love 
( ’ Comes, shuddering on the blast; or the faint moan, 
With which some soul bursts from the frame of clay 
Wrapped round its struggling powers.— Shelly.

DO A GOOD TURN. 
It is as easy to perform a kindly act as 
an unfriendly one, and the after remem¬ 
brance of the first is a most excellent reward 
for any little inconvenience it may occasion. 
The Christian spirit in any community 
may be correctly measured by the neigh¬ 
borly deeds that are done in it. “ Time is 
money,” says an old saw, and to those who 
are at a loss as to how they shall invest any 
portion of this description of their wealth, 
we would say, engage in the performance 
of acts of kindness. It pays well,—notper- 
haps in the sense in which the worshippers 
of Mammon would use the phrase, but in 
an easy conscience, a sense of having done 
something to add to the sum of human hap¬ 
piness, of having lived to a noble purpose. 
One of the sweetest of English poets has 
left the following testimony on the subject: 
“ It needs not great wealth a kind heart to display; 
If the hand be but willing, it soon finds a way; 
And the poorest one yet, in the humblest abode, 
May help a poor brother a step in the road. 
Oh! whatever the fortune a man may have won, 
A kindness depends on the way it is done; 
And though poor be our purse, and though narrow 
our span, 
Let us all try to do a good turn when we can. 
SONNET, 
0! were I loved as I desire to be. 
What is there in the great sphere of the earth, 
Or range of evil between death and birth, 
That I should fear—if I were loved by thee? 
All the inner, all the outer world of pain. 
Clear love would pierce and cleave, if thou wert mine; 
As I have heard that somewhere in the main 
Fresh water-springs come up through bitter brine, 
’Twere joy, not fear, clasped hand in hand with thee, 
To wait for death—inute—careless of all ills, 
Apart upon a mountain, though the surge 
Of some new deluge from a thousand hills, 
Flung leagues of roaring foam into the gorge 
Below us, as far on as eye could see.—T ennyson.
