VIRTUE REWARDED. "Alice, there is no use for you to deny it, fur there has been no one else in this, loom to-day, and I left it on the dresSer, when I went out.- "Oh no, indeed, ma, and I did not, Isoulv came into the room to dust it, and I did not see anything of it." " Don't Valk to me, I know' you are, the thief. A pretty return you make us fur taking you from the streets abd stare; ation, but then it is all.we ought to ex pect when we cherish a viper." "I am innocent. Oh lam innocent," subbed Alice. % , "You needn't tell me you are fano sent. You shall have your choice, eith er to return 'that brooch, or else pack up your duds, and go back to the hovel where we fiend you?' The poor girl could only plead her in nocence' but it was of no avail. She was' sent to her room in the attic, and in a few moments more she had packed up her scanty wardrobe, the - whole of which was tied up in an old faded silk 'hand- kerchief; the street dpor was slammed to after. her, and therpoor orphan felt herself indeed alone in the world. What. to do or where to`go she knew not; keine and friends she had none ; they were all resting beneith the green sod of the valley, and is it to be wondered at that in that moment of mental suffering, her poor lonely i heart longed, "To sleet!, asstill as they." Seating herself the hard, cold steps, (scarcely more cold and hard than the hearts of the inmates of- ) that lordly mansion) she wept anew. " What is the matter, my little one ?", These words fell like balm upon the wounded heart, for they were words of kindness, and looking up she beheld . a tall, noble looking gentlemaq, regarding her with a benign countenance. Impell ed by that intuitive feeling which often informs us without.-our knowing Why, . that a friend is near, she repeated to' him her tale of woe, interrupted now and then by the great sobs tilt welled up from the over charged fountains of her heart. "And .they have turned you out in this storm to perish ?" "Oh, sir, that I do not mind so much, for I can creep in somewhere, but it is the thought that they believe me guilty that makes me feel so bad." Arthur Pemberton stood for a few mo ments gazing into those eyes, whose lus tre, though dimmed by.the blinding tears, yet shone With all the unmistakable evi dences of truthfulness, and his plans were . soon formed. He was a young man of i generous impulses, and as he had more money than he well knew what to do with, or how to enjoy, the wild project hastily entered his mind to adopt the poor orphan thus seemingly thrown in his path b, Providence, that .he might ,obey His. command to " protect the or " which, owing to his "abundant wealth," he4as so well able to do. But as we have not yet described our hero (which is the fashion with :story writers) we will 'leave Nem itancling on the steps of the Howard Mansion, While We give a brief review Of, his pmt life. Arthur Pemberton was a young man of unmistakable genins. Bred in the lap of luxury, he had received an excellent education, and had started on the study of law With many flattering prospects. An old bachelor uncle dy \ ing soon after, named him in his will 'as gole to his vast • property,' and ,cut short . hisslegal studies. He spent several' years, in for eign travel,' and returned to this country to find himself the .coveted and flattered favorite of the beau' monde, Tired at last, of ;the giddy rounds of pleasure, he detArmined to seek out a con genial companion to share his kome and fortune, and such an one he -fondly im agined he had found in the beautiful and accomplished Edith Howard, and upon the very same evening When we behold him talking to Aiice, he had made his toilet with unusual , care, and turned his steps toward ‘r the Howard's," bent upon hearing his fate decided by the lips of the fair Edith; when his footsteps were opportunely arrested as we have seen, and his .plans altered, for startled by the display of the sudden and passionate tem per Of Edith's in her treatment of Alice, he deemed it prudent to wait a little longer, ere he trusted his heart's happi! Hess into her keeping, so taking Alice by the hand he turned about, and !retraced his way back to his . own manisod. Six months passed away, when one 4ay as the steward removed the dresser from the wall to dust behind it, the miss ing brooch fell to the floor. Stung with remorse, Edith would have gladly sought out the injured and innocent Alice, and made some , reparation for the great wrong she had done her, but it was noW too late, and so,time passed on, and the matter was forgotten, but she could not under stand why the rich; Mr. Pemberton never' peopo6ed 'when he seemed so a ttentive to her.. . _ We will now pass over three years,' which has slipped away, as all Years do, and enter a •mansibtx, fronting ' ' on Fifth Avenue, that home` of nabobs, where we may behold Alice, noW a .tall arid stately woman of eighteen; seatedl.on a i sofa, and by her side hits, hee noble benefactor, Mr. Pemberton. Alice is much ! changed since the night when, a hornless wan derer, she found a friend in tliur. Her At a features, now no longer pale l and sallow, have assumed a roundness that ibetokens the enjoyment of health ; and Tier mind, that noblest of God's gifts to mrtytds, has not been neglected; so that while beauty hovers smilingly around her lips; intellect sits enthroned upod her brow. She bas just returned frogthe semi nary where Arthur placed hef soon after their first meeting, having graduated wiih all the honors the institution could 'bestow, and at the final examination, had the satisfaction of bearing and seeing her benefactor the•loudest fin his applause at her successful debut ; and she I has now returned to his home to become its Plis tress and dispense its hospitalities. Arthur's disappointment in ' his , first 'choice of a companion, made hidi resolve not to marry at tit; and he bah devcited his time to study, keeping, however," an eye to =the interests , of his ward, until I they have !mom so closely interwov en with his own, th4t the Cis:ought that some one else might claim her, sooner 'or lalter, I I caused him mueli uneasiness; but to ; night he. has just proposed, as the World' calls ic, and asked. her if she Would eon sent to stay with him always, and be the I-mistress cf his_ heart as well as his home. I Reader,' let us fur once break through the rules of decorum, and draw near and Ilisten to her rnply: Now then be quiet and N•ou shall lhear., - •r ~, ' "FM r.

It is needless to say 'that he did accept it, and from thenceforth their! two lives ' became one. And, reader, this was the reward of virtue. Go and 'do thou likewise.' SELF-PIAGSERVAertiON. Has a great Chiistian natioli the right to coneinit deliberate suicide 11 This is in fact the questi-in to be answered by every Christian man at the Ndyth, when considering his duty in connection with the present exertions of the-G,Overnnient to put down an armed and menacing re bellion by Military force. Vridoubtedly there are multitudes to whont anything bearing the name : of War, above all' of Civil War, is in its; own nature most re pulsive. The conscience, of the North especially, has been so long and so dili gently instructed 'on this very subject, and has resvonde& so earnestly to the in struction, that detestation of war.has long since taken its place with us among the deepest and most imperative moral in stincts ; and propably upon no other sin gle subject has such absolute and emphat ic unanimity obtained among ~all who have wished and sought the welfare of their country and the world. , • It would not be unnatuml,l therefore, if there should now exist, the feeling among some Christian men that the war on the 'brink of which we seem to be standing is outsideUf, if not contrary to, the Christian rule; that it is thing which Religion hatrdly justifies, even if it tolerates it; and that we have all been zboiea to 14e, i/iivipies Doiliocileij, ifie. P_iselitifiqiioq to? yoiiilify, Y.Oll-4ttp OOUDERSPORT,''POTTER pushed along by the rush of bur own sym pathies, anti by the irresistable march of events, into an attitude politically neces sary. Nit morally dangerous; which, how ever it may be defended by reasons of state-policy, is hardly to be vindicated as in harmony essentially with the genius of' Christianity, and its great law of Love.— If such a feeling has not yet arisen in apy minds, we may anticipate that it will do so, almost as a matter of moral necessity ; and that some who desire to .be at the same time patriots and Christians will feel themselves seriously troubled and per plexed by it. It will be *ell, therefore, for all such persons to go back at once to the prima ry question with which we started, and to answer that cleatly to their own satis faction before-going further, for thieis the question which underlies the whole I subject, and according to the answer we give to it will be the subsequent decisions we arrive at. This is a war—if indeed that name is at all with propriety to he given to it—not of aggression, not of a - bition, but in literal truth of self-prese ation. It is organized and conducted, o the part of the Government, 'for the one sole purpose of repressing rebellion, and maintaining and confirming,' for all time to come, our national life and 'national unity. It has been shown, by the failure of all other and. different agencies to se cure the same end, to be the oily means practicable and adequate for the accom plishinent of this. And so, as 'a last and an effectual resort, with a sad but austere and determined purpose, this . means has been adopted ; and as soon as the end thus sought has been realized,. the war will cease as a matter of course, by its own linntation.—Would 'this nation then be justified, would the Government which leads and represents the nation be justi fied, in, yielding to the vehement and deadly assault.made upon it, and surren= Bering its life and unity as a nation, with out such resistance? Would it be justi ffed, in other words, in allowing its very being to be sacrificed, ivhen it might have protected itself if it would, by calling out and marshalling its military array ? That nations as well as persons have the printery right of self-preservation, seems plain at first sight. • The statement of the proposition is its complete demon stration. They' have no other rights whatever, if thq hare not this. But further, than this every thoughtful man's mind must carry him at once. The pre servation of his, individual life against the assault of treacherous malice is a duty which every man owes to himself, to the circle of those deriendent upon him, to the whole s community of which he is a member. But if lie chooses not to defend himself, but to allow his life Co be destroy ed by the dagger of the assassin or the bi.adgeon of the ruffian, the loss to socies ty, to history, to the world, is compora tively, slight. The waves of life close over him again with a, sad promptness, and hardly al blood-stain remains on the surface to mark the spot where he went down. But the relations of a Nation or ganized and placed as ours is, powerful, free, intelligent, Christian, with a noble Past, a commanding position, opportunity, to bless the whole world by its influence, I its relations are with the earth ; with the whole inter-connected family of Man; with the ages of the Future, and their purer civilization; with the glorious eras of millennium itself ! Blot this _Nation out of existence now, allow it to commit a virtual suicide by yielding without suf ficient resistance to the treacherous ruf fianism that now strikes with desperate haste at its life, and the Race would at once feel the shock ! Every tribe on earth would be darkened in its prospect's, and hindered on its way toward purity and peace, by that dire catastrophe. The crash of that 'tremendous destruction would shake the whole frame of Human Society. The issues of that tremendous folly, and yet more tremendous crime, would record themselves in the blurre' and bloodied annals of each heathen na tion now reached by our missions, and of each Christian nation now helped and made hopeful by the great inspirations of our example ! This nation.) suffer itself to be destroyed, without iesistance ?-- This nation consent to its own murder by traitorous hands, and so virtually change that murder into a drear and collossal su icide? It would be not merely to throw itself against all the purposes of God as revealed in its history, and against all the instincts of its own highest wisdom and Most cultivated faith; it, would be to put back the world's progress by centu ries, and to suffer a deed, and assist it by the sufferance, over which the heavens might well gather in gloom, and beneath Which the solid ribs of the earth might well tremble and groan I .No'pational suicide, should,be the pus '. pose of every .

To my mind, the first consideration was one of abstract, fundamental, eternal Right ;—does tit's man belong to that ono by any law of the universe Suppose ~1. is white and B black—the former vpse,'atrong, intelik. gent ; the latter foolish,'weA, and ignb rant—does all this give A any right to conipel B to serve hid for nought thfough life; and bequeath a live fate 'to his chtl drat?

Mow to Secure InciependenCl3. To secure independence; the ptsetieo 'of simple economy is all that i‘net essary. lEconothy neither requires superior cm . lege nor eminent virtues; it is satisfied with ordinary energy, and the capacity of averaae minds. Economy, at bottom, is blit the spirit of order applied in Ithe administration of, domestic affairs: it means management ; regularity, prudence, - 4.1 d the avoidance of waste. The spirit of economy was expressed by our Divine Master in these words, " Gather up the 'fragments that remain, so that nothing may be leit.7 His omnipotence did . nOt disdain the small things of life; and even I while revealing His infiniteVniver bathe I multitude, He taught the pregnsson 'of 6.ref ess of which we all statitt.m__ much in need. . ~ Be omy also means the politer Of re c. -- g present gratification - for - Ine pur pose of lieouriag a future good; and in this light it represents the ascendency of reason over animal instincts. It is altogether different from penuriousness; far, it is economy that can always best afford to be generous. It does not make money an idol, but regards it as a useful agent. As Dean Swift observes, "we must carry -money in the head, no; in the heart." Economy ,may be styled the• daughter of Prudence, 'the sister of Tem perance, and the mother, of. Liberty. It is eminently conservative of character, of domestic happiness, and social well-being, It .allays irritation, and produces content, It-makes men lovers of public order and security. It deprives the agitator of his stock in trade, by removing suffering, and renders his appeals to Blass-hatred completely innocuous. Wheu 'workmen by their industry and frugality have 8c cured their own indep_endence ; they will cease to regard the sight of othera' well being'in the light of a wrong inflicted on themselves-; and it will no longer be poe sible to wake political capital out of their imaginary woes. , - Checking Perspiration: We find in Hall's Journal of Health an excellent article on the subject of sud , denly checking perspiration, and the dam• ger attending it.
