There is an unseen battle-field In every human bieast, Where two opposing forces meet, But where they seldom rest. That field is vo I'd from mortal sight, 'Tis oti'y seen by One, Who knows alone where victory lies, When each day's fight is done. One army clusters s rong and fierce, Their chief of demon for 1115 Ilis brow is hkc the thunder cloud, li s voice the bursting storm. His captains, Pride, and Lust, and Hale, Whose troops watch night and day, Swittto detect the weekest point, And thirsting for the fray. Contending with this mighty forco Is but a little band; Yet there with an umjuailiug front, Those warriors firmly stand. Thiir leader is of God-like form, Ol countenance serene; And glowing on Irs naked breast A simple crost is seen. Ilis captains, Faith,and Hope, and Love, Point to that wondrous sign; And gating on it, all receive Strength from a source divine. They feel it speaks a glorious truth, A truth as greet as sure, That to be victors they must learu To love, confide, endure. That faith sublime, in wildest strife, Imparts a holy calm: For every deadly blow a shield, For eve<y wound a balm. And when they win that battle-field, Fast toil is quite forgot; The plain where carnage onco had reigned, Becomes u hallowed spot. A spot where flowers of joy and peace Spring from tho fertile sod; And breathe the perfume of iheir praise Ou every breeze?to God. Turkish Women and Watering Places. Mr. Oscnnyan, who has been loctuiing in New York with much acceptance on tho subject of Turkey, has now in press a work entitled "The Sultan and hia People.1' Mr. Oscanviin lias the advantage which belongs to a native?the advantage of perfect familiarity with hia subject. In the following chapter, which we find in the New York Evening Post, he gives a lively nccouut of (Iia mnnnart r?f lUo TiiiL'Ut ..lovinr* ? ?! ,.,v ......... VI VI tnw 4 Ml moll nnkonii^ and of the Turkish women : There is a prevalent impression that the Turkish ladies are always imprisoned at home; but nothing is more erroneous. For, since the destruction of the janissaries, who molested every one in public, they are to be seen every where, and on all occasions. The only requisite for their appearance is to be veiled, and to wear the Ferndje or cloak. Thus accoutred, they wander through the bazaars, frequent all tural places of resort, visit the balbs, and scarcely a day passes wbeu they stay at borne. Nor is it to bo supposed that tlioy are closely muffled, as lltey were formerly. The ancient out door costume was most hideous; they were enveloped in an irnmence white sheet, a little piece of horse-hair gauze be ini> suspended over the eyes. But the yashmak or veil is, at tho present day, composed of the lightest India mull, and has little power of concealing their charms, but, on the contrary, ?3rve to heighleu their beauty by it* gossamer transparency. The arched eyebrows, through this deceptive veil, seein more delicately curved; the large and lustrous eyes shine mote darkly from its snowy folds, and the delicate and peach like hue of the complexion is rendered tenfold more lovely. The texture of the yashmak is now so exquisitely fino that the two square yards of muslin which compose it do not weigh more than a single drachm ! The ferndje or clonk is art ample outer garment made of Hue colored bombazine or thibet, lined with silk, and the edges are trimmed with embroidery. Their feet are clothed with yellow chedik or morocco buskins, over which pabouJj or slippers of the same color aie worn in tho street. So great is the force of habit and education that not even the oldest woman ever Mjqreurs in public unveiled, although the Koran pronounces furrows and wrinkles to be all-sufficient disguises for faded charms; yet in Turkey, as well as all over the world, mti maxim uoumicss is popular that beauty never dies. Even the dames of ebony hue, dreading the di-play of darkness visible, are most punctilious in covering their chaiUQx, thus nffording mote distinguished specimens of the wonderful effects of light and shade. During visits of ceremony, when the feradje nnd yashmak nre tnken /ifr o !/??%/ ' -*- * 1 * v., r. einp ui wniie muslin is lelt lnnging from llio top of the head down tlio back, for the purpose of covering the face in case of sudden emergency. Hut such accidents seldom occur, as the gentlemen are informed as soon as they enter tho vestibule of the harem that there are strangers within. Thus equipped, the Osmali ladies aro the most independent creatures in the world. As uo one dares look them in the face from a sense of respect, it has been customary for them slightly to encourage their timid admirers by a few furtive glances, if not positive attacks; so that on all public occasions an attentive observer may detect them in some of the wiles of coquetry or unmeaning flirtation. Ladies of distinction are attended by black eunuchs, who protect them from the too familiar approach of any witless knight who may ignornnlly trespass the limits of Oriental decorum. These ebony gentry, froin the nature of their position, had become insolent mid overbearing uudcr the plea of protecting the ladies, and a native always avoided a collision with them, since they were sustained by public opinion. But thetr own extravagant conduct has put an j end to their pretensions and power. Kiz lar Aghassy, or the head black eunuch of the palace, was formerly so influential a personage as to rank amon? the iniuisters di of stale; but at the present tune tbe eunuchs m bare lost all their pristine greatness, and gf are mere domestics of the household. nt The carriage generally used by the Indies id is called nn araba, which is often very rich- at ly ornamented and gilded and well cushion- at ed in the inside. The top is covered with of a crimson or green chartn or shaggy cloth, er manufactured in Albanin, and fringed with fo gold. This spacious conveyance, capable tii of accommodating six or eight persons, has no springs, and is drawn by n couple of pi oxen, whose heads are gaily tricked out ki and furnished with a charui against tho 1' Evil Eye. The ends of the tails are lied to in a cluster of red tassels, which are fastened tli to n hoop set in the yoke and gracefully (J, arched over tbeir back*. This arrangement er is to prevent tbe animals from spattering m the mud with tbeir tails. of The araba is entered by means of a small lu temporary ladder at tbe back. There is a rn conductor, or abagee, who leads the oxen p< by a chain attached to their heads, and a ?i yanashma, or boy, who walks by tho side w and goads them on. But many of tbe w families are now to be seen in public in hi European carriages, and they delight in ex- Cc cursions on the water in their beautiful ni cayiks. Nature bus been so lavish iu her c* gills to the land of the Oemanlis, that they in i have every temptation to linger for hours in some one of the many lovely spots e8 which aro to bo found all along the Bos- w pliorus. hi The snltan has numerous kiosks of his qi own; 011 tho most lofty summits of the hills, J, in tho most sweetly embosomed valleys, by it tho margin of the biiny sea, wiiero wave p) after wave has "noiselessly rolled up the w beach" ever since tho waters which were p, above tho firmament were divided from thoso below?in tho midst of plains, by the t) roadside, and in the noisy populous streets vi of the metropolis, are these tasteful pleasure p bowers ever to be mot with, but caiefully n guarded from profane footsteps. Generally, however, in the spots thus consecrated by tl royal pleasure, aro to bo found coffee shops, a and mats or low stools, for the accommoda- js tion of other classes of this nature-loving n multitude, where at all times the most lovely groups of men, women aud children are -j collected. h There nin >nmn nlni-ni 'if rna/Arf m.im fin.

The group just beforo you may be the harem of an American banker. Though ~~ composed of many ladies, yet (ho Ameri- ju cans, being Christians, by virtue of their religion they are not allowed to number more than one wife in their harems. Again, under the shadow of yonder tree, ! ni are two lovely Mussulman girls, surrounded , by a train of halayiks, or female slaves, and attended by black eunuchs. StHy your re footsteps, for it is I lie haiem of Efe tidy?a Hedjal or grandeo of tho realm. 01 This distinguished man had the rniafor- Hl tune to lose his interesting and beloved 111 wife; and so strong was her memory upon , m his heart, that lie never sought to replaco her loss; consoling himself with these two 10 bonuliful pledges of hor love, and lavishing &' upon them all his affection and indulgence. These young ladies alone constitute the harem of a man who lias perfect freedom to ca number as many as four lawful wives! eh Thus it inay be perceived how far from so being synonymous are the two words harem nr and polygamy. ' th Smithsonian Lectures. j The third lecture of Prof. Peirce, on Kri- ' iv evening, commenced with a series of r marks on continuity, in which the lecturer ' ivo its characteristics more by what it is . >t than by what it is. It is such that tho ea of to nay is the replacement and sub- 1 ilution of yesterday, provided nothing it> * Ided from without. This is tho great law ! time; aud honco it is that physical settee is the development of physical law; . r it refers either to renlly continuous ine or to its substitute. Reference was then made to the great 1 -oblein of the reconcilement of God's fore- 1 trow ledge with man's free agency. Mr. I eirce thinks that the difficulty lies in the j iplied ascription to tho Divine Being of ie mere temporal consciousness of man. od's knowledge is concurrent, overpres- j it with man in all his acts and thoughts, id therefore it is falso and wrong to speak ' Hisybrc knowledge. This might be il- ' sled, perhaps, by reference to another elo j cut th*in time?space, for instance. Sup- | jse wo wero to say that God knew such nd such an a^t of man's from heaven; ould that bo right? Clearly not, for it ' ould contino God's presence to a particu- 1 r region or locality, which would be in- ^ insistent with the Divino omnipresence id perfections. Equully wrong is it to lo- ' Lie God's knowledge in time; God is not i time, but time is iu 11 i in. To recur. Continuity is the basis and >:>euce of all law. Tho sun ami the moon erogivou us to divide timo into mensurale units, to us whose infant faculties rouire such helps. The Egyptians and the 1 jws used different units of standard, and 1 appears that in Moses' account of tho | elugo the Egyptian month of thirty days > as that referred to. Tho vibration of the ; eudulum, of 6uch high use in physical I 1 iience, is also seen to be introduced into , to universe. In the car, the pulsations of j b rati oils are from thirty to ten thousand i i-r second, in order to in.suro the sense of earing; thirty pulsations per second aro laential to tho sense of feeling, and this is | ie limit of the ability of musical perform- : uce. Iu the eye, the number of vibrations prodigious, imining up to live hundred nil ion of millions per second. Now, beveen this vast number aud the low figies of hearing and feeling, who can say ow many intermediate senses may not be laced?senses for which we have now no ame and no adequate conception? The learned lecturer next showed, by trang a continuous lino in such a way as to ?ok anything but linear, but exactly simiir to a batch of loaves of bread or a heap F stones, how apt wo aro to bo deceived by ur months ami years and centuries about le idea of continuity, properly considered, his illustration was very obvious and striing, and drew down the acknowledgments f tho audience. The error in human lought here niises from tho prevalence of te law of discontinuity over continuity, ly way of proviug how true is this doc ine of continuity in its relation to the uuitrse, ho cited a caso where a question was ; ut to Prof. Agassiz at a meeting of llio Iritish Scientific Association. The queson was this: What was the form of a ti>li t a certain given point of tho great geo- i >gicul eia of 200,000 years? Taking a ,iort time to consider, Prof. A. replied; and >! there laid, unknown to him and cover tl up under a napkin on the table, a tisli f the very form dictated by the Professor, n this thero was nothing magical; the law f continuity was understood, and a correct jplv was tho philosophical result. With respect to the equivolnnts of the , resent animated beings with their ana- ; gucs in tho far distant past little cau now e said. We may ask if our elephant is i0 equivalent of the mastodon, but the an ver is not to he depended on. It was >ng before tho law of equivalents in chetntry, which had always existed, was known; I j 11 limy l>o with llio equivalents or anilals. Koto runeo w as hero made to the 1 pinion of Prof, llenry, that a balnuru is Iways struck in every chatigo of form in ie material world.

If our geological era is 200,000 years? tid that is a pretty accurate approximation -the probability is that by the end of that eriod the earth will have arrived lo onevo hundredth of tho distance now lying [itween. This will undoubtedly produce real changes, possibly even destruction; at II events very great changes.
