THE TWO ARMIES.

BY OLIVER WENDELTL HOLMES

As life’s unending column pours, Two marshalled hosts are seen.-

Two armies onthe trampled shores That Death flows back between.

One marches to the drum-beat’s rol) The wide-mouthed clarion’s bray.

And hears upon a crimson scroll. “Our glory is to slay!”

One moves in silence by the stream. With sad, vet watchful eyes,

Calm as the patient planet's gleam That walkes the clouded skies

Along its front no sabres shine No blood-red pennons wave ;

Its banner bears the single line “Our duty is to save.

For those on death-bed’s lingering shade; At Honor’s trumpet-call

With knitted brow and lifted blade In Glory’s arms they fall.

For these no clashing falchions bright, No stirring battle-cry :

The bloodless stabber calls by night Each answer, ‘‘Here am I.”

For those the sculptor’s laurelled bust The builder's marble piles,

The anthems pealing o’er the dust Through long cathedral aisles.

For these he blossom-sprinkled turf That floods the lonely graves,

When spring rolls in her sea-green surf In flowery-foaming waves.

Two paths lead upward from below, And Angels wait above,

Who count each burning life drop’s flow, Each falling tearof Love.

Though fromthe Hero’s bleeding breast Her pulses Freedom drew,

Though the white lilies in her crest Sprang from that searlet dew.—

While Valor’s haughty champions wait Till all their scars are shown.

Love walks unchale nged through the gate. To sit beside the Throne!

She would not, veuture to origina’e tho mention of Wallens stein’a pame before Udowalsky, lest it should excite i: him a feelins of jealousy , but she felt sure, somehow or other, that himself advert to it.

During the remainder of this evening, the lovers could find no opportunity for a tele ax tete.

Thus the time cf supp:r ard of retiring sueceeded to each other, but not without meas having been found to azree upon en early meeting next morvingiia seclud d pert of the gardens of the ‘Castie,

The iaterview took place. While most of the inmates were yet asleep, Helcn, fresh and blooming as the morsinz, which was beginsing to dawn upon the beauti‘al lends scape, tripped down stairs, and Odowalsky soon followed by a different :oad through the shady walks of the garden; and even supposing they hid been observed by any one, who could put an improper construcs tion upon th? ac idestal of the

Assoon as he saw hor ata distance, ard was convinced they were «nnoticed, he

sprang forward, pressed hor to his breast,

Helen rioted in the delightful thought of being thus faiths fully and ardently beloved by a hero. She, too, was uoabie to speak ; ba! tears expresss ed her feelings more eloquently than words could bave donc; and, gently putting aside

| her curling locks, Od>owalsky kiseed oT the

pearls that chased each other dovn his mist-ess’ rosy eheeks. The s‘orm of sen:i- bility subsided by degrees, and transport yielded to mor: ‘evel emotions, Helen made several enquiries as to the events of the last days, and i: answer, Odowalsky related her what the :eader already knows. Helen soon eaw that all he had hitherto attained failed to satis*y her friend; and feeling mach hurt at this discovery, she cons eurred with him in deeming the Swedish

tleman evidently well versed in the subject, | made a lengthy speech. He said that Bis- | marckian Legislation consisted—

Ist. Of the education and formation of | the clergy.

2nd. Of the appointment and displace- ment of the clergy.

3rd. Of the Church’s power of censure in guarding the faith, which is subject to the strict supervision of the State.

4th. Of the creation of a Royal Court of ecclesiastical affairs, which has the supreme decision in everything that concerns the Church.

Prince Bismarck began thus :— It was necessary, he found, to repeal an article of the Prussian Constitution which assured to all the religious communities perfect free- dom and independence. His law of April last erased that article of the Prussian con< stitution and substituted for it a statement that these religious communities might in- deed manage their own affairs, but under the supervision of the State. He there- fore took away altogether that liberty | which was written in ths Charter of the Prussian Constitution in 1870, and under | which not only the Catholic Church, but | likewise the other religious confessions had | been living in Prussia from 1850 to 1873. That was the prliminary measure ; and hav- | ing cleared ground in that way, he then | proceeded to pass these laws in the month | of May. With regard to education, the law | orders that no Lutheran and no Catholic

This will, perhaps, be best realized by supposing that no priest could be appointed to any cure by our Archbishop without getting first the consent of the Minister of State That will give a standard by which to measure what the spirit of these Bismarcks ian laws is with regard to the Church. But he does not stop here. He likewise creates at Berlin the Royal Court for ecclesiastical affairs, consisting of eleven members nomi- nated t-y the Crown, and every subject that concerns the Church may be brought be- fore them, every appointment, every trial that concerns a priest, or that concerns | anything upon which the Church's cen- sure has been passed, may be brought for revision before that tribunal. We have all heard in our own history of a certain Court of very ill fame termed the Star Chamber, but this is the creation of a much more powerful aud rapidly acting tribunal than the Star Chamber in this country was,

Christ has given to his Church to main tain purity of faith (hear, hear,) the highs est of which powers is excommunication that is the depriving of a disobedient and rebellious member of the privilege of mem- bership. Now all these powers must exs ist in the Bishop in each disocese through- out the whole wor!d, and you will at once

| observe that the legislation of Prince Bis-

marck tends to break up the whole of this

It assaults the inward life of the Church. What it says is, ‘ Your priests shal! not be instinct with your spirit they shall have mine; they shall go to my university;

they shall learn my philosophy, my views of history, and the spirit of my German literature, They shall be adepts in the literature of Goethe, for instance, and Schiller, Goethe being a well-known Pan- theist and a man of mighty genius, buta denier of God, They shall understand the various systems of German philosophy, all of which terminate in the denial of one personal God who has made us and re- deemed us. This they shall do, but they shall not be your priests, they shall not promulgate, the one faith, the one doctrine of morals and of Christian faith in which the Catholic Church consists. Therefor

Prince Bismarck, in doing all this, has aim. ed directly at the life of the Church. He wishes to change her ministers, and I do not fear to say that if his legislation is carried out, in twenty years’ time he wi!) have utterly changed the constitution and the inward spirit of the Church subjected to suck a revolution, (Cheers.) The blow is well aimed ; the skill is perfectly dia. bolical. The power that is shown in these pagesisenormous. Itisa well put together system, if it could be carried out, but it never will be carried out. (Cheers.) This then is the way in which the Bismarckian legislation attacks the life of the Church, which was my second point to bring before you. Observe in what it consists, These new laws, say the Bishops of the German Empire—and observe the force of their language—not only violate, but destroy these essential rights of the Church, first in the conditions imposed in the education of the clergy ; secondly, in their employment and removal; thirdly, in subjecting the censure of the Church in all its degrees to the good pleasure of the State, fourthly, in the establishment of a Royal court fo ecclesiastical affairs, this new of which | spoke ; and finally it abrogates the jurisdiction of the Sovereign Pontiff, for it declares in one little quiet article that
