THE HYMN MADE IN THE BASTILE
About a hundred and sixty years sae, a lady
was in one of the dungeons of the Bastire. It was
no new thing for her to be in prison, for she had
spent many years in captivity in various parts of
France. And. what was her crime ? Religion.
She loved her Saviour, and bad laid herself at hie
feet, to live for him, and, if need be, to die for
lime Her name was Madame Guyon. While in
her lonely dungeon she composed a good many
hymns. One very beautiful one is, "A. little bird
1 am." She was not allowed paper or pen, but
she committed her, hymns to memory, and often
sung them to herself; and when at last she was
released from prison, she wrote them down on
paper:—
"A Tittle bird I am,
Shut from the fields of air;
And in my cage I sit and sing
To Him who placed mo there;
Well• pleased a prisoner to be,
Because, my God, it pleases thee.
"Naught have I else to do,
I sing the whole day long;
And He whom most I love to please
Doth listen to my song;
He caught and bound my wandering wing,
But still He bends to hear me sing.
"Thou hest an ear to hear,
A heart to love and bless,
And though my notes were e'er so rude,
Thou wouldet not hear the less;
Because thou knowest, as they fall,
That love, sweet love, inspires them all.
24y osge confines me round;
Abroad I.cannot fly;
But though my wing is closely bound,
My heart's at liberty.
My prison walls cannot control
The flight, the freedom, of my soul.
"0! it is good to soar,
These bolts and bars above,
To Uim whose purpose I adore—
Whose Providence I love;
And in thy mighty will to find,
The joy, the freedom of the mind."
THE UNLUCKY THROW.
When I was a boy, like most other boys, I often
did idle and foolish things. One day, for in
si ;woe, as I was walking up street, I saw a broken
china tea-oup in the road. Picking it up; instead
of letting it alone, as I ought to have done, I be
gan to toss it into the air. This I did several
times, trying to throw it higher with each new
effort.
AI last, thinking to toss it as high as the cor
nices of the houses, I threw it with great energy.
Alts for me I My arm struck my side, and the
uoCuoliy piece of china went crashing through the
window of a dwelling-house.
Without thinking of my duty, I took counsel
of my fears only, and ran home as fast as my feet
could carry me. Nor did I either pause or look
bark until I turned a corner.
Shortly after this misfortune the son of the
mail whose window I had broken came home from
play. Seeing the window broken, he stood out
side with his hands in his pockets looking at it.
A man passing said: "Your father will think you
broke that window, my little fellow, and he'll
tickle your back with a raw hide."
"No he won't," said the boy calmly, "for I shall
toll him I didn't do it."
"You may tell him so, but will he believe you?"
rtjuined the man.
"To be sure he will. He always believes what
I say!"
That was nobly said e .and it was just so. That
boy wore a diamond called truth on his heart, and
his father knew that he could safely trust him.
Where was I? Well, I sneaked home, feeling
that I bad done a mean act in not going right to
the owner of the house and confessing my misfor
tune. •
Tar several days I carried my secret with me.
It was like wearing a belt of burrs round my
waist. •It pained me badly. I was in torments,
too, lest somebody had seen me and should, after
all, tell my father.
At last my secret was dragged out. A person
who knew me had seen me break the window and
had told the owner of the house about me. That
gentleman knew my father, and the-first time he
saw him told him what I had done. My father
paid for setting a new square of glass, and on his
return home called me to his side.
is face wore a stern expression. I trembled
and blushed like a culprit, for I guessed he had
found me out. Looking right in my eye, he Said
" Peter, did you break Mr. Comerford's window
a few days ago?"
"Yes, sir," I replied holding down my head.
"What did you do that for?" asked my father,
with less sternness in his manner.
The worst of my load was now gone. That se
cret mill-stone which had been crushing me was
trow rolled off, and I told my father all about the
affair,
''Peter, my boy,' said my father, after hearing
my story, "I am glad you did not deny your
guilt. .1 regret you did not play the man when
your misfortune happened, by going to Mr. Co
merford at once. But I honor you for frankly and
truthfully answering my question. I have paid
fur the window. Go. Be more careful hereafter
about tossing old china in the street, and, above
all, if you ever should be unlucky or foolish
titioxth to meet with a similar accident don't run
away like a sneak. Act the part of a thoroughly
honest boy, and own your fault at once."
L promised I, would, and I tried to keep my
promise. The advice my father gave me I com
' mond to you, hoping that you will remember that
it is honest,` noble, and manly to confess a fault,
while to conceal it is to net the part of a coward.

GOING TO CfromoEt.-- 4 ‘ Mother, I don't want
to pa to church." The speaker, a little bright
eyed boy, looked up into his moiler's face with
evident doubt as to the propriety of saying what
he had said... His mother, who had often heard
the same remonstrance, sat down and drew him
to her knee, eaying,---" Charley, father and I tell
you that it is best for you. Don't you think we
know best?" Charley made a petulant reply, al
though obliged to go, yet went in a very unfavor
able mood.
Years passed away. Charley had lived to be a
man, and had long gladdened his mother's heart
by living the life of a Christian. Children grow
lug up around him, were taught to tread the path
.ltiwbielt he had been led before. One Sabbath,
,
a 'friend spending the day with him, asked:—
" Why do you endeavor to get all your children to
church, whether they wish to go or not? You
know that many do not approve of such a 'course."
Turning to his friend, he replied,—" Because I
owe it to my mother that I was saved from infi
delity by the respect for the Christian religion in
stilled into my heart when she sent me constantly
to church."

MOUNG MOUNG AND HIS FATHER.
AN INCIDENT IN DR. JUDSON'S 'WAYSIDE
PREACHING.
One day as the pair came in sight, the mission
ary beckoned with his band, and the child, with
a single bound, came to his knee.
" Monng Moung !" exclaimed the father in a
tone or surprise blended with anger. But the
child was back again in a moment, with a gay
colored Madras handkerchief wound around his
head; and with his bright lips parted, his eyes,
dancing with joy. and his face wreathed with
smiles, he seemed the most charming thing in na
ture. "Tai hlah-the !" (very beautiful.) said the
touchingchild, his new turban, and looking into
hie father's clouded face with the fearlessness of
an indulged favorite.
"Tel hlah-the !" repeated the father involun
tarily. He meant the child.
" You have a fine boy there, sir," said the mis
sionary, in a tone intended to be conciliatory. The
stranger turned with a low salaam. For a moment
he teemed to hesitate, as though struggling be
tween his native politeness and his desire to avoid
an acquaintance with the proselyting foreigner.
When taking the band of the little boy, who was
too proud and happy to notice his father's confu
sion, -he hastened away.
" I do not think that zayat a very gocid place
to go to, Moung Moung," said the father gravely;
when they were out of hearing. The boy an
swered only by a look of inquiry strangely serious
for such a face as his.
"These white foreigners are ---." He, did
not tell what, but shook his head with mysterious
meaning. The boy's eyes grew larger and deeper,
but he only continued to look up into his father's
fees , in wondering silence.
"I shall leave you at home to-morrow, to keep
you from his wicked sorceries."
" Papal"
"What, my son?"
"I think it will do no good to leave me at
home."
"Why?"
"He has done something to me."
"Who? the kalah-bvoo?"
"I do not think he has hurt me, papa; but ; I
cannot—keep—away—no--no."
" What do you mean,
.Moung Moung?"
" The sorcerer has done something to me—lput
his beautiful eye on me. I see it now." And
the boy's own eyes glowed with a strange bril
liancy.
" Mai, Mai! what a boy ! He is not a sorcerer
—only a very provoking man. His eye--whish!
it is nothing to my little Moung Moung. I was
only sporting. But we will have done with him.
You shall go there no more!.'
"If I can help it, papa,"
" Help jt I hear the foolish child ! What strange
fancies I"
"Papa!"
What, my son ?"
"You will not be angry?"
"Angry !" The soft smile'on that stern, beard
ed face was a sufficient answer.
"Is it true that she—my mother—."
"Hush, Moung Moung
"Is it true that she shikoed to the Lord Jesus
Christ?"
"Who dares to tell you so?"
"I must not say, papa; the one who told me
said it was as muck as life is worth to talk of such
things to your son. Did she, papa?"
"What did he' mean? Who could have told
you such a tale?"
"Did she, papa?" e
•" That is a very pretty goung-boung the foreigner
gave you.V
"Did she, papa?"
"And make your bright eyes brighter than ever."
"Did my mother shiko to the Lord Jesus
Christ?"
"There, there! You have talked enough, my
boy," said the father gloomily; and the two con
tinued their walk in silence. As the conversation
ceased, a woman, who, with a palm-leaf fan before
her face, had followed closely in the shadow- of the
stranger--so closely, indeed, that she might have I
heard every word that had been spoken—stopped
at a little shop by the way, and was soon, seemingly
intent on making purchases.
"Ko Shway-bay!" called out the missionary.
A man bearing a large satchel, which he had just
nearly filled with books, appeared at the door of
an inner apartment of the zayat.
" Ken-payahr
"Did you observe the tall man who just passed
leading a little boy?"
" I saw him."
"What do you know about him?"
" He is a writer under government, a very re
spectable man—haughty--reserved—. '
"And what else?"
"He hates—Christians, tsayah!"
"Is he very bigoted then?"
"No, tsayah; he is more like a pliramat than
a Buddhist. Grave as he appears, he sometimes
treats sacred things very playfully, always-careless
ly. But does the teacher remember—it may be
now three, four, I do . ' not lido . * how many years
ago,—a young woman came, for medicine—"
The missionary smiled. "I should have a
wonderful memory, Shway-bay, if I carried all my
applicants for medicine in it."
"But this one was not like other women. She
had the face of a nat-thamee," (goddess, or angel,)
"and'her voice—the teacher must remember 'her
voice. It was like the silvery chimes of the pa
goda bells at midnight.' She was the favorite wife
of the sah-ya, and this little boy, her only child,
was very ill. She did not dare to ask you to the
house, or even send a
_servant for the medicine,
for her husband was one of the most violent perse
eutors—"
"Ay, I do recollect her, by her .distress, and
her warm gratitude: And so this is her child!
What has become of the mother?"
"Has the teacher forgotten putting a Gospel of
Matthew in her hand, and saying that it contained
medicine for her, for that she was afflicted with a
worse disease than the fever of her little son; and
then lifting up his hands, and praying very solemn
ly ?"
"I do not recall the circumstances just now.
Bnt what came of it?"
"They say," answered the Burman, lowering
his . voice, and first casting an investi g ating glance
around him—" they say that the medicine cured
her."
"Ah I"
"She read the book, nights while watching.by
her baby; and then she would kneel down and
pray, as the teacher had done. At last the sah
ya got the writing."
"What did he do with it ?"
"Only burned it. But she was a tender little,
!'creature, and could not bear his look; so; as the
baby got out of danger she took the fever—"
And died ?" asked the missionary, remarking
some hesitation in the manner of his narrator.
"Not of the fever altogether."
"What then? surely he did not---"
"No, tsayah; it must have been an angel call.
The sah-ya was very fond of ber, and did every
thing to save her; but she just grew weaker day
after day, and her face more beautiful; and there
was no holding her back. She got courage as she
drew near paradise, and begged the sah-ya to send
for you. He is not a hard-hearted man; and she
was more than life and soul to him; but he would
not send. And so sbe died, talking to the last
moment of the Lord Jesus, and calling on every
body about her to love him, and worship none but
him."
Is this true, Shway-bay?"
"I know nothing about it, tsayah; and it is not
very safe to know any thing. The sah-ya has
taken an oath to destroy every body having too
good a memory. But"—and the man again looked
cautiously around him—" does the teacher think
that little Burman children are likely to run.into
the arms of foreigners without being taught ?"
Aba! say you so, Shway-bay ?"
"I say nothing, tsayah."
"And what of the child?"
, A wonderful boy, tsayah. He seems, usual
ly, as you have seen him. But he has another look
—so strange 1 He must have caught something
from,his mother's face, just before she went up to
the golden country."

HOW THE STORK KING WAS TAKEN•
A letter from an officer of the United States
steamer San Jacinto, gives the following particu
lars of the capture of the slaver Storm King, of
New York:
"On the Bth of August, at 2.30 P. M., a sail
to the south-west. was rePorted from 'the mast
head, and the San Jacinto was immediately
steered in that direction, the steamer being under
steam with all sails furled, As soon as the slaver
saw us, which she did as soon as we saw her, she
hauled in all her steering sails, and hauled up
close on •a wind, hoping we would not be able to
catch her, as that was her best point of sailing, as
we afterward ascertained. But it was no use, as
we fired up on all our boilers, and crammed in the
coal as fast as shovels could do it, the engineers
doing their duty admirably in the engine-room, as
it was necessary to carry a.heavy press of steam to
catch such a notoriously fast sailer as . the Storm
King is known to be.: About 5 P. M.„we gained
sufficiently on the chase to see through our opera
glasses (men-of-war use opera glasses in prefer
ence to all others) a crowd of men on her quarter
deck, looking at us through their, glasses, appa
rently unable to make out who we were, as they
had no knowledge of our being on the coast.
All this time the slaverhoisted no colors; so,
as we were pretty near them, we brought one of
our 68 pounders to bear upon her, and fired. As
soon as the booming of the
gun had gradually
died away, like the final roll of distant thunder,' a
low wail or suppressed groan came wafted across
the waters towards Ws 'frqm the slaver, which in
reality was g shout of joy froth the poor negroes
imprisoned in the slaver's. hold. The poor crea
tures had heard our gun,.and instinctively knew
their deliverers were at hand.
The slaver still hoisted' no colors, and showing
no disposition to heave to, we ranged alongside
and ordered her to heave to instantly, when from
seeing our battery manned, and bearing on her,
she let go her lee braces ran up in the wind, and
backed her topsail. . now lowered our boats
and boarded the slaver, which we, found filled
with negroes, whose joy on seein. the officers
from our ship cannot be described. They
looked up to the sky, (as they have a god whom
they all a big "Gilly Gilly,' and who they say
lives there,) and. began to clap their hands, keep
ing admirable time, simultaneously falling on
their knees and chanting an African song.
No prize-money could pay for the satisfaction
one felt in liberating so many human-beings from
such a vile imprisonment. There were six hun
dred and nineteen slaves onboard—men, girls,
women, and boys. I never
.saw human beings
show such gratitude as the poor things did tows.
The Storm King had left the coast only forty
eight hours before her capture, and the day. be
fore had been chased by her Britanic Majesty's
steamer Spitfire, which fired a number of shot at
- her, but failed to bring her to or overtake, her,
and the rascal escaped, fortunately to be taken
the next day by the San Jacinto.
GIVE ME DRINK I—Mr. McLeod, an English
writer, puts the following language in the'mouths
of those who visit the rumseller's den
There's my money—give me drink ! There's
my clothing and my food—give me drink I There's
the clothing, food, and fire of my wife and chil

Wealth of Londou.—Tlie city of London proper
is a very small place. It covers an area of only 370
acres. Not as large as the Park in New York. - This
is the extent of the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor of
London?' But the whole metropolis covers. an. area
of not-less than 50,000 acres, and a population of
about three million.
The loans of the Banking Houses in London ex
ceed $150,000,000 per annum, and-the clearing house
returns show that twenty-nine bankers now clear
more than $2,1,000,000,000 (a thousand millions of
pounds sterling!) a sum too vast to comprehend.
The value of real property in London, insured against
fire, though probably, not fifty per cent. is actually
insured, amounts to the sum of $290,000,000,0001 it
is sufficient to bewilder the mind to pass through the
ware-houses, and London docks, and witness the ex
tended piles of treasure collected from all parts of the
world.
TEMPERANCE ITEMS.
Temperance and Railwqrs.—This subject is
attracting much attention in England, as it should
everywhere. Several distressing_accidents have been
traced to drink. On the 3d of SepteMber, a large
number of excursionists, supposed to hays been no
fewer than 2,500, were conveyed from various sta
tions in the vicinity of Manchester to a popular en
tertainment in that town. All went smoothly in the
first part of the journey, and about eleven o'clock at
night the travellers started on their return in three
heay.y trains, The first train completed its passage
in safety, but when the second, after stopping at
Helmshore Station, attempted to proceed, the coup
lings between the third and fourth carriages broke,
and fifteen carriages were detached from the engine
and the fore part of the train. The line at this point
passed a steepiatt incline, and consequently when the
carriages were left to themselves they soon began to
descend. As the third train had left Manchester at
an interval of twenty minutes after the second, it
may be supposed that the catastrophe 'was rapidly
consummated. In a few minutes the runaway.ear
riages crashed right into the advancing train,
the horrors of a collision were presently visible. Tell
were killed on the spot and thirty-eight wounded.
Here the brakemen who;might have stopped the cars
were absent. It was found that they had been drink
ing; also the guard, who might and should have seen i
the accident in 'the beginning. Mr. George Stephen
son has written a letter on the subject. lie says:
"There is no question but that much property and
many valuable lives are anifhally sacrificed through
drink; and, therefore, everything that we can possi
bly do should be done to lessen the facilities for Ob
taining it. lam every day more and more convinced
that, if we want to prevent drunkenness, we must re
move the temptations to drink out of the way. If .a
railway company allows drink to be sold at their sta
tions, they ought not to be surprised if some of the
men occasionally get intoxicated and neglect their
duty. And when we consider that the slightest inat
tention of an engine -man, a guard, pointsman, or sig
nalman, might be productive of the most fearful con
sequences, it seems impossible to take too much pre
caution. By removing the temptation to drink as
fat away as possible, we adopt one great' means of
keeping a sober set of men. On the Darlington and
Stockton Railway, the oldest in the world, seventeen
years have elapsed since the last of the liquor licenses
on the line was abolished.
Newly distilled spirits, of the commonest kind,
often contain salts of copper, of lead, or tin, derived
from the condensers, in which the vapors are reduced
to a fluid , form. The quantity of copper salt contained
in the bulk usually taken as a draught, :is sufficient
to produce the minor effects &metallic Poisoning; the
cumulative character of these poisons may even lend

The marked, and ever extending, popularity of
SINGFR'S SEWING MACHINES, both in America
and Europe, is such as best to establish their superiority
over' all others in the market. Sewing machines (so
called) may be bought, it is true, for a smaller 'amount
of dollars, but it is mistaken economy to, invest anything
in a wOrthless or unreliable' article, and those who do
so must abide the consequence!

A WONDERFUL CURE OF ASTHMA ASTHMA
11_ BY JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT.: This unrivalled
remedy for Pulmonary Diseases is equally successful in
all countries.and climates in subduing diseases.
The Rev. Eugenia Kincaid, a Missionary in Burmah,
writes:—
. Riamoort, March 29, 1853.
It is rare that we we any medicine except your pre
parations. About three monthselince, a Burman female
of rand, who called on us, as we learned from her hus
band, bad suffered for EIGHTY YEARS with ASTHMA, and
often, for weeks together, had been unable to sleep,
except in a sitting posture.
It wiffpainful to look upon her emaciated frame and
distressed -cotintenance. Feeling quite satisfied that
no medicine could restore her to health, we (i. e., Dr.
Dawson and Mr. Kincaid) thought only of affording
some temporary relief, and gave her about one-third of
a bottle of your Eximcrosatvr. One week after, her
husband came for more, and informed us that, for the
first time in eight years she had slept sweetly. In one
mouth and a half she was entirely 'restored, and has
increased nearly one-fifth in weight.
Our sister, you recollect, took your ALTERATIVE for
long-standing Swelling on lier neck. '.4lt , , has perfectly
cured her. Yours, &c., •

BLEEDING OF THE -LUNGS.
Aimsvnas.r., VA., Jan. 1858
Da. D. Jevrtr.—Dear Sir; In the year 1890, I was in
very bad health, which I attributed to teaching school
in the previous year. I was attacked with 'mean
-
REUSE (BLEEDING OF THE -Lunos,).but after using one
bottle of your varnoreaswr, I was .relieved, and hav,e
not had an. attack since. I have:also given' the same
medicine to children for the wHoormc COUCH, and have
always found it to be of great advantage in mitigating
the disease, and ,fina!ly 'effecting a• Cure.

Dn. D. Jeihm—Dear Sir: It is with pleasure that 1
make known to you the invaluable efficacy of your
EXPECTORANT, anti ALTERATIVE and SANATIVE PLI:LO.
Gen. W. P. •Orton, one of my neighbors, was cured- of
Bronchitis, by the use of your Expectorant and Altera
tive after having lain sick for forty days, at the, point
of death, and three eminent physicians having ex
hausted their skill upon him. Several cases of Droply .
and Cancer have been cured in .my neighborhood.
My little daughter was taken last November with an
Enlargement on her neck, which grew very fast I
immediately commenced giving her your Alterative,
and she is now nearly well. Gratitude toward you, and
a desire to benefit the public, have induced me to write
this, and although I am a stranger to you, you are more
than welcome to publish this if you wish:
Yours, in friendship,

"Your, invaluable medicine, the Expectorant, has

years with sacescHrris, and having heard of the-won
derful efficacy of your EXPECTORANT for coacins, ASTHMA,
DIFFICULTY - OF BREATHING, SPITTING OF BLOOD, and other
diseases of the lungs, I-purchased .one bottle of it, and
one box'of SANATIV E PILLS, and am happy to inform you
that, after using the Expectorant, her cough was imme

at times rendering' me entirely speechless. I tried for
nearly a year all the remedies which were recommended
for my disease, under the most , skilful physicians, but
unfortunately without suCcess. I was at last about to
give up in despair, when a kind friend thought of your
preEennorrr.• I procured a bottle of it, and before I had
entirely used the whole of it, I felt manifest symptoms
of a change for the better. I confinued-on using it, and

afflicted with a very SEVERE °emu, and ricked with
GRAVEL, and this, too, for a ,nuluber , of years. I Oro
cured one bottle of your EXPECTORANT, and two boxes

D. D. JAyruc—Dear Sir: It affords me a great plea
sure to add my feeble testimony in favor of your invalu
able medicines. Some eight years ago, I bad a very
severe attack of Acute Bronchitis, and .I was considered
br inteligent physicians a confirmed consumptive. By
the very free use of your vvercroaArtr I recovered. In
using it, I surpassed the directions, as I took it in nau
seating doses for several weeks. Since that time I have
made great use of it, and of your ALTERATIVE AND CAD
auNATIvE BAx.sari, in my family, and, prescribed it to

from you 'nearly - five years ago, from the ruins of our

Zegroyed by fire on the morning of the 17th inst.
So rapid was the progress of the flames, before we
.could reach the store, the whole interThr was one mass
of fire. 'The Safe being in the back part of the store,
.and.surrounded by the most combustible materials, was
exposed to great heat. It fell with the walls of that
part of the building - into the cellar, and remained Ml
