172 JjGnilg THE YAUDOIB TEACHER. 41 The manner in which the Waldenses and heretics disseminated their principles among the Catholic gentry, was by carrying with them a box of trinkets, or articles of dress. Having entered the houses of the gentry, and disposed of their goods, they cautiously intimated that they had something far more valuable than these—in estimable jewels, which they would show if they could ~be protected from the olergy. They would then give their purchasers a Bible or Testament; and thereby many were deluded into heresy.”— S.

But she paused at the wanderer’s earnest call—“My gentle lddy, stay !” 44 Oh, lady fair, I have yet a gem which a purer lustre flings Than the diamond flash of the jewelled crown on the lofty brow of kings; A wonderful pearl of exceMing price, whose virtue shall Whose Hght shall be as A spell to thee, and a blessing, oathy Way!"

THE FORGOTTEN PROMISE. « No, no—don't ask me for anything, woman —l’m pestered to death! no—-I tell you, no!” These words I repeated harshly, unkindly, be cause the woman lingered. I can see her now— the thin oheeks, the eyes almost wild with their longing looks —the,parted lips, the pallorof disease. Yes, I see ier standing there by the door, in the position of one who felt she must, hut dreaded to ask a favor —one foot forward—one hand extend ed toward the latch—the scant shawl falling closely over the clinging dress —das, poor soul l ; She turned wearily—her eyelids fell—her lip quivered, and, all over her iesina ths£| hepbless, utterly disheartened manner, that wraps one some times like a cloyd. I turned to my desk as the door was shut to, and took up mf ledger again. No use—trouble with the first column, the second, the third—over and over I went, unweariedly—I had better have been spending the tide listening to the story of the poor .wonmfi.; For there Bhe stood, dpiost as palpably in my spirit’s vision as she had in real ity, her mournful eyes reproaching me. “ You were wrong,” whispered conscience. • Read, my hearfr’ I pleaded. “Sor rowful news baa coipe to ine*—l have, hjsard only tales of misery all the morning; mendicants abound —tears rain—troubles come like hail,, and I’m tired of givihg.

In vain I attempted to continue my accounts;—-I saw on the page the long rows of figures, truly, but ever beside, them, as £ counted, wearily, came that pa& face—that face of judgment—that wit ness of my unfaithfulness. At last, I turned from my office, and sought the street. bJoconsciously I peered np and along the'Pfewded of fashion, in search of A faded sjiawl, a popr bid bonnet, ap,d a thin, bent figure. I was searching for the woman, repenting —but my search whs iff raid. T reifhrned to my, home, and hurrying to' the sick : chamber, found my litile one improved, the fever-flush aM the deadly white of. disease gone, and in their stead the soft rose-hue of coming health, perhaps that 'poor woman bent above a sick child; what did she want ? what could she need ? why did she haunt me so?; - ■ I could scarcely touch my dinner, and .deter mined, feeling so unwell, to remain at home that afternoon, and rest; so I betook me to a lounge in the parlor-, as it was darker there, and lay down, vainly striving to sleep. My’wife, taking advan tage. of thb fine day and our child’s improved oon dition, had-deoided to walk with our two daughters, Etta and Mary. JUsF as I had closed iny eyes, I heard the rustling if, silks—and, wife and daughters stood before me. I had never taken much notice of dress, but at that moment the beauty and comfort of their attire struck me pain fully. What soft harmonies of color !—what rich ness of material! how rare and pure seemed the silken and the velvet folds, the pPstly furs, the. delicate draperies! They who had never wanted for one little hour stood, before me—-but who could read the future. There, there, close beside us all, Was the, poor folded shawl, the poor, pitiful figure, the wild imploring eyes. “ Goodrby, Eobert," said my, wife, as she took tbe bank-bill for which she had entered—“ don’t go out again, your hand burns, and you look feverish. I'm sure you are not well." i “I won’t go out,” I said, “ unless I feel better;” and so they left me. . .. Again and again I strove to sleep—but the gen tle minister of rest to the weary, would not come to me. - Every thing about me seemed* endowed with mystpripSk voices, ; "Look at us, said the pictures, hanging in their massive frames; “don’t you remember how much we cost, und how can you turn “Look at my i'psCs,ipygloriods Colors,” cried 1 the oarpet—“no paqperis'foothw 'pwawdmy yielding surface”—” nor has the beggar luxuriated in us/* whispered the great airni-chainj—“ nor have sipk ly, catetsew hr sorrowful faces ,cmp6jrefle.oted their: bare or their aorrow in our shining’ deaths,”* Baid the mirrors. ~7 My heart began to ache harder.; I felt guuty before God, and the Words seemed Bounding in toy ears — "Be npt iffertr# m loeU-doing." sat, half-reclined,, I lost: myself for one litilenw* roe nt I was in a spaoious church, and the man of God was just pronouncing the benediction. I am sorry to saythat uncourteons rustling that precedes tbe ainen, afl if 'all the wbre ready for a rush, tjhfi very second.; the service is ended, was vividly repeated in my dream, and I was one of the hundreds crowding towards the door. So lemnly, gloriously, the noble strains of the mighty organ floated up and around us. I had reached the vestibule—l felt a touch upon my hand —a touch of cold fingers. I turned—it was a faded face, a faded bonnet, a pale, thin form—it was a stooping figure—the whole aspect touched me. “ Mr. L.,” murmured a weak voice, “ my poor son is very sick, nothing ean reach his case. But that is not the worst of it; he is unprepared to die, and he will not hear of a minister. He re gards only a very few people as his friends, sir, and he was once in your employ—-he remembers you, and has confidence in you—said he believed you were a Christian. O! sir—it has come over me that you can do him good—if I might ask such a great favor—if you would condescend to come to my poor home—oh! Jack, sir—Jack ” Here she broke down, her lips still apart—the great tears of anguish hanging on her bent eyelids : —the poor, thin lips trembling with uncontrolla ble emotion—the poor, thin hands clasped in an iron grasp. “ I will certainly come, if I can be of the least use,’’ was my reply. “ Give me your name, and I will try and see yon to-morrow —is he very near death?” “ The doctor says he can’t hold on long, sir, but gives me hopes of two: or three days. 0! sir, that may be time enough—it may be 1 I don’t want him to go beforehis Maker so hard and de fiant—it wilj break my heart, sir,*’ . ‘ , Again the voice failed, and some team fell heavily. My own lids were moist—my own heart was aching. ’ ' ' . I opened my eyes—-I started from the lounge • —yes, started to my feet. That dream, if dream rit was, had. been also a rfeality It. all came back to me—the crowd in the vestibule—the cold hand that touched mine. An? she inustbave come to tell me that he was worse—dying,’ perhaps—that he wanted me—poor woman! I would not let her speak—l drove her away, as my cares had driven the whole thing from my mind till this moment. The perspiration started to my forehead as I thought —“ I a Christian professor—accountable for God’s poor ’’—the memory was an agony . I put my hand in my pocket-—ho, the direction was in my other vest —I obtained it immediately, and in a most unhappy mood, I hurried from the house. “ Crowningstreet, No. 40,”—-it was a long walk, almost to the other end of the city. The wind had set in east—the. sky grown raw and gray, with ominous clouds scudding across. As I went on, my upbraidings increased. If I bad but allowed myself one moment to think, it surely would have come to me, or'ifl had been patient, and not de nied her speech, she would have told me all, and turned my, profitless day into a golden one. The house was reached at last—a high, narrow tenement; shouldered back by better edifices — but it had an air of respectability. Children, were playing upon the steps —there were signs of life, nOne of death, unless the silence and steady glance of the children, as I drew near them, might hav,e given me some forebodings. . , , “Does the widow Van Kentz live here?” I asked them. ' -.■ ■ “ Yes, sir,” said one of theliftle'girls, while a boy whispered loud enough for' my ear, “ Share, it’s the praste.” v - I was directed to a room in the third story. My heart- failed me when I would have asked one question—l preferred to wait—to see. The door was opened—ah! I did see. A four post bedstead first met my gaze. It was enough over that a sheet was . spread—under the thin, co vering lay the ..rigid outlines of a human form. Some one, an elderly woman, was busily getting supper—the clatter of the dishes sopnded unna tural. Near tfie fire, with head bent and apron thrown oyer it, sat the.bereaved mother. My heart almost stood still as the other touched her on the shoulder. She looked .up —she met my eye—a look of strange horror changed her face. “Will you pardon me?” I said, as she turned away again—“ I had utterly forgotten.” “ Yes, I believe you,” she replied,, mournfully; f ‘ the poor mustn’t look for remembrance or any thing else from the rich—my son—oh !my dear son!” v " *\r : r r - “I am yeiyr. sstry! lam very sorry 1” was all I could say —and I repeated it again and again. “0! if you knew how I felt yesterday!” she exclaimed, sobbingly—“ oh! my poor Jack—he was almost at the last —bat he asked for you—he expected you—his dying eyes had tears in them, when he saw ine come alone. 0! what shall I do? I don’t know how he'went—l don’t know—don’t ask me—l.only know he’s gone—God be pitiful! but,” —she gasped—“ if he’d only had a prayer— just a prayer !” My tears fell like rain, while the woman, with, strong gasps sobbed out. those broken sentences, I shall, never forget it—never.

We eould hardly have a more important subject before us, reader, short of personal salvation. Does yours belong to the families that'call not oh the name of the Lord? Then seek at once to draw your hodse into covenant with him. Are you a member of the Church? Remember that one of your first duties is to show piety at home; The usefulness and beauty of fiumly..wnrahip„is. acknowledged by’ all, but the trouble is in making that duty*pleasant and profitable. Now hbre are some plain and easy, directions. , Consider them if you are the head of a family; and if family de votions have' heretofore-been languid and irksome to the household, you may enliven them. ■ Christian parents are sometimes discouraged from constancy around the family altar, because their children manifest so little interest id the services. ' Why should this' be? W hat is in it ielf ihbre appropriate and interesting for a family, than the Unitedworship of the' Great Giver of all their blessings ? When they have all received presents from some kind friend, all are warmly enlisted in the giving of thanks. Why should not the same be true in the expression of gratitude to the great and constant Benefactor ? Let not the answer be too confidently made— “ Because they have wicked hearts.” This is true, but there may be. other truths to be thought of in. connection with this. When the hour of family Worship is not a pleasant hour, it is important for the parent to inquire whether there is not something wrong in his mode of conducting the exercises. He should hot too hastily impute to depfavity all tie kf etsioh wliieh his household may manifest. There are means of' making that a delightful seasoii even' to their children. There.are also ways of rendering it ah irksome hour, not only to the children, but to all present. If no effort is made by the parent to secure that variety which is-essential to creating and perpetuating an interest; if he evidently looks upon the exercise as a mere ceremony, or a task to he hurried through with as quickly as possible; if he alone reads the Bible, and that in a. monoto nous or careless way; if his prayers are always one and the same, no matter how the circum stances of his family differ, and consist invariably of the same set phrases recurring in the same order, till every child knows them ail by heart so as to be able-to' anticipate them all; and-to calculate at any instant precisely how soon the Iwishecbfor “Amen” will comb; if there is no regular time 'for worship, and no care taken in selecting the most appropriate time; and if sacred music never lends itq enlivening influence;. then it ■is not to be expected that; the exercise will interest or benefit the family. Both old. and young must be very differently constituted to take delight in such performances. , On the other hand,’let the father have an appointed, time fpi family devotions, and mat tlje rime when This ovm mind and the minds of Bis family are most free and elastic; let him put a Bible In# the' hands' of every individual in the circle able, to read; * let mm strive to read-.himself with correct emphasis, with agreeable tones, and such varieties in them as the sense requires ; let him in the course of ,his reading make occasional remarks to explain what may not be understood; to call attention to peculiarly impressive or striking passages,; and perhaps even stop and relate a fact which, illustrates some principle contained in the portion of Scrip,tqre. they are reading; let.eaph member of the family be called on to read in his turn, so as to feel that hb has some part in the, performance; let the singing of some 'appropriate* hymn where it is practicable, or, if there are ho singers, the repetition of-one, succeed the redding of the Scriptures; let all:the circle bow together, and;- either at the commencement or. close of the prayer, recite; #e Lordls Brayer ip concert; let; him who; leads in* prayer endeavor to avoid; formal and baht expressions, and to adapt his’ language to, the comprehension and cireumstpnce.s of those whose ’devotions lie is professedly leading;' in short, let every arrangement connected with family worship shot? that the parent himself has a deep interest in the exercise, and; then as a ne cessary result we ihay expect that the whole family will prize the season of devotion. ' If any parent will try it, we have no doObt of his com plete success. l ■■■.,■ .■ - ■ No one ought to. complain of the indifference of his, family until; he has given some such plan a fair.- trial.

THE RECENT CAPTURR OF THE FRENCH SLAYER. . TRBtturiro Account.— j-As the U. S. steamer Crusader was cruising in the old Bahama Chan nel, not far from Yuevitas, on the 23d of May, a square-rigged vessel of moderate size was reported from aloft,. -.Wp immediately stoodfor her, as. no sail is .allowed- to pass ns in these slaver-haunted waters, or ( even to come in sight, without having her character ascertained. As soon as she found herself an object of pursuit; the Strange sail began toj behave in such a man ner as strongly excited our suspicions, and at length fairly put her heim up and run ih for thh shore, thus taking the last and most desperate chances of escape. Unfortunately for her the wind was so light that sue was prevented from effectingherpurpose, and we rapidly.overhauled her, notwithstanding that she was carrying all her canvass. . , j ..... The Crusader now hoisted English colors and fired a gun to windward, when, after some delay, the : barque (for 'such she proved to be); finally displaved-the-Prekch flag at the peat "Bythis tifiae, however, S|fwere so near'that we were'ehabled to see that her hatches were all closely covered dvetj anh as vve continued to approach, we could even distinguish at intervals the peculiar loathsome odor of a crowded slave ship. v.; W-v Tinder these circumstances it was determined to board her, and accordingly; a 'boat and the English ensign were lowered at the same mo ment, and the American colors were hoisted. No sooner did the Crusader’s boat leave the side than the barque hauled down the French eolors, and as we subsequently learned threw them and her Portuguese papers overboard, to gether; so'that when she was boarded she had neither papers nor colprst,. and waß confessedly without name or nationally. - Eor a little- a dead silence on board both ships, though ihe increasingly strong ammoniacal ■Africanr odor placed' beyond all doubt the fact that the barque had under her hatches a cargo of slaves; And now we began to hear a sort of suppressed moaning, which soon swelled into the uninisttvkable'murmur of many human voices. As .'our boat reached the side of the b'ajrgiie, officers in charge sprang pa the deck; witnwtrem.endpus shout,the. hatches were forced open‘from below, and ont burst by hundreds the selftliberated slaves. As they caught sight of the stars and stripes float ing so near, which no donbt seemed to. these poor wretbhes like a bright"rainbow of protnise, they became perfectly frantic with joy. * ’ r They climbed up all' along the Tail; they hung on the shrobdS; they clhStetSd like swarming bees in the rigging, whil# rose froni sea to sky the wildest acclamations ofidelight; they danced, and leaped and waved their arms in the air, and screamed and yelled in a discordant but pathetic concert, . The scene of eonfusioji baffles all description. They had, of course, all peen kept on a very small allowance, of food and water during, the passage.; The, first us® they made of their liberty was to satisfy then- hunger and thirst, which they did bybreakingjinto the bread-barrels and water casks, and thenTrinning about, eating, drinking, dancing, and screaming all at once.; It mattered but- little to' thein what sort of ves sels they drank boxes and troughs were'all brought into‘teqiisition. I even saw several fellows, happy and delighted with a piece of bread in one handland ai wooden spittoon, fall of muddy watep, in the other. v Ajs so,oh as them appetithSuW,ere. satisfied, : the, African fondness for. fingry began to and all the loose articjiss'Jh the ship were em ployed as personal ornaments. Some fastened belayingpigsto tha% wrj,sfsj spme tied old rusty tin kettles around their waists, and some strutted proudly about with copper ladles hung round their necks. . / . , '' V ' By this time, however, a ; detachment of marines arrived from the drusadei\~&n(i order was at once restored and an Organization established.. Tho. negroes were clothed with pieces of canvass, and 5 the: captain, supercargo add crew sent on board the Crusader as prisoners. They made no claims or remonstrances Whatever, but surren dered themselves a$ “slayers,” without nation ality.

When, as is: often, the case, too - many punctures are made in the twigs, in which the eggs, they are.-so weakened tbat.they; are easily broken by the wind and die,, when Abe.; eggs perish for want of nioisture to keep them alive. This acts as' a check upon their excessive increase.

The ore of this valuable metal is scattered in millions of tons through all sections of the country, being more abundant and more accessible than any other metal. All granite rocks and all beds of clay are ‘ partly composed of it. Pure clay, or alumina, is simply the sesquioxyd of aluminum (Al 2 03,) containing 2d lbs. of oxygen to 27 lbs. of the metal, and all that is necessary to give us unlimited supplies of this precious substance is a cheap, mode of separating it from the oxygen. So rapid have been”'the improvements in-the method of cffeetiugithis separation, that within about four years, the. price of aluminum has, been reduced frqm §250 to less than §9 per pound. If the price should be reduced sufficiently, this metal is destined to play a great part in the industrial arts, foy by its lightness, strength, and incorruptibility in the air, it is admirably adapted to many uses. Even at the'present price, it will no doubt replace silver to a considerable extent. Some of the alloys of aluminum have very re markable ■ properties, especially the aluminum bronze, composed of -90 lbs. of copper, to 10 of aluminum. This alloy is stronger than the.best wrought iron; it may he cast, hammered, or rolled; and it resists the. corroding action of the atmo sphere, nearly if pot quite as well as gold.. Be r sides these properties, if is, qfi a beautifiil yellow color, and is susceptible of a very fine polish. ' Scientific'American. A FLORAL CURIOSITY. To obtain flowers of different colors on the same stem (or apparently : so,) split a small branch of elder lengthwise,.and having scraped, out the pith, put into each part some good soil; mixing with it several seeds qf different plants, but which bloom at the same time. Thqn tie the split pieces to gether, and scf then? out ip a pot. or box filled with mould. The seeds vn.ll soon germinate,, and the plants grow up together with their stems and Branches and' leaves so intermingled, that .to the common observer they will appear to grow from the same root.
