Sometime it is a sweet, sweet song,
warbled to and from the topmost boughs
of the., heart, and filling the whole air
with joy and gladness as the soni;s of
birds do when the summer morning
comes out of darkness, and day is born
on the mountains. We havo all our
possessions in the future, which we call
"sometime." m Beautiful -flowers and
singing birds are there, , though our
hands seldom grasp the one, or our ears
hear the other. But, oh reader, be of
good cheer, for all the good there is a
golden "sometime," when the hills and
valleys of time are all passed; wheu the
wear and feverthe disappointment and
sorrow of life are over, then there is the
place and the rest appointed of GdJ. Oh,
homcste'ad, over whose roof falls no
fchadows or even clouds, aud over whoso
threshold the voice of sorrow is never
heard, built upon the eternal hills and
stauding with thy spires and pinnacles of
celestial beauty anioug the paltn trees of
the city on high, those who love God
shall rest under thy shadows, where there
is no more sorrow nor pain, nor the sound
of weeping, "sometime."

flowing locks of dark hair and classic face

they tried to buy him off, but they did

It is at Eylau that Marat appears in
his most terrible aspect. This battle
fought in midwinter, in 1807J was the
most important and bloody one that had
then occurred. France and Russia-had
never before opposed such strength to
each other, and a complete victory on
either side would have settled the f ate of
Europe. Bonaparte remn.incd in posses
sion of the field aud that was all; no
victory was ever so like a defeat.
The field ot Eylau was covered w.ith
snow, and tho little pools that scattered
over it were frozen sufficiently hard to
bear the artillery. Seventy-cue thousand
ineu on one side, ind eighty-five thousand
on the other, arose from the frozen field
on which they bad slept on the night of
February, without tout or covering, to
battle for a continent. Augercau, on the
left, was utterly routed in the morning.
Advancing through a storm so thick be
could not see the enemy, the Russian
cunnon mowed down his ranks with their
destructive fire, while the Cossack caval
ry, which were ordered to charge, came
thundering, almost hitting the French
infantry with their long lances before
they were visible tbtough the storm.
Hemmed iu and overthrown, the whole
division, composed of 16,000 mco, with
the exception of 1,500, were captured or
slain. Just then the suow storm clear
ing up, revealed to Napeleon the peril to
which he was brought, and he immedi
ately ordered a grand charge by the Im
perial Guard aud tbe- whole cavalry.
Nothing was further from Napoleon's
wishes or expectations than the bringing
of bis reserve into the engagement at
this early stage of the battle, but there
was no other resource left him.
Murat sustained bis high reputation
on this occasion, and proved himself, for
the hundred:h time, worthy the great
confidence which Napoleon placed iu
him. Nothing could be more imposing
than the battle-field at this moment.
Bonaparte and the Empire trembled in
the balance, while Murat to lead down
his cavalry to save '.hem. Seventy
squadrons, making in all about 11,000
well mounted men, began to move over
the slope, with the Old Gtfjrd marcyig
sternly behind.
Bonaparte, it is said, was more agi
tated at this crisis than when, a few
moments before, he was so near beaten
by the Russians. But as he saw those
seventy squadrons, come down ou a
plunging trot, pressing bard after the
white plume of Murat, that streamed iu
the snow storm lar in front, a smile
passed over bis countenance.
The earth groaned and tremb'ed as
they passed, and the sab.es above the
dark, angry mass below looked like the
foam of a sea wave as it crests on the
deep. The rattling of their armor and
the muffled thuuder of the'r tret 1
drowned all the roar of the battle, as
with swift, set array, and swift, sio-a de
motion they bore down with terrible
front on the foe.
The shock of that host was like 'a
falliog mountain, and the front line of
the Russian army went 'down like frost
before it. Then commenced a protracted
light of hand to hand and sword to
sword, as in tbe cavalry action at Eck
inuhl. The clashing steel was like the
ringing of countless hammers, and
horses and riders were bleuded in wild
confusion together. The Russian reserve
were ordered up, tsnd on these Murat fell
with his fierce horse inert, crashing and
trampling them down by thousands. But
the obstinate Russians jdisdained to fly,
and rallied again and r.gain, so that it
was no longer cavalry charging on in fun
try, but squadrons of horse charging on
broken hosts that, gathering in knots,
still disputed, with unparalleled brave
ry, the red aud rent field.
It was during this strange fight that
Murat was seen to perform one of those
desperate deeds for which be wag so re
nowned. Excited to the highest pitch
of passion by the obstacles that sur
rounded him, singly and alone hecherged
into the centre of otio of the largest
bodies of the enemy, crushing and de
stroying them by tbe score; and yet amid
tho fulling of saber strokes like lightning
about him, that lofty white plume never j
