courage which braves the perils of bat-
tie delineated so olten, in the poet s

highest' exhibition of human bravery,
sinks almost into cowardice when coin

horrors of pestilence. The soldiei

the madness of real or stimulated

difference, and little recks, in the ful

he survive or perish in the conflict.
But he who wars with pestilence, bat
tles with an invisible foe. lie has
nothing but' his own sense of duty,
and his high trust in God, to sustain
him. The hot blood 'which fires the
cmiviio-o nnd insnircs the deed of the
soldier, is not his to animate and sus
tain him, for his foe floats viewless on
the wings of the air, and enters the
citadel of life through the inspirations
Avhich impart health and nourishment
to its vital currents. Pestilence s not

the storm of the epidemic came down

himself and others, deliver him in the
