FORT SUMTER,
Rebellion lights the fire
For Fasznom's funeral pyre,
And Sumter falls:
But, till time's evening,
The patriot throng shall ring,
And poets proudly sing,
Tho glory won within its walls.
Hail, gallant hearts! anew
To_guard our banner true—
Ye
Spartan band!
Ye brave the war-god's ire.
Nor flinch beneath his fire;
But lift your flag still higher—
Yea, seventy 'gainst seven thousand stand I
Truth's triumphs oft are gained
When victory seems attained
By evil men:
Shall this our valor chili?
No I u for Bunker Hill,
With pride our pulses thrill—
Earnest of triumph now as then.
And, down the coming time,
In F i reedom's noonday prime,
'Neath Southern eun,
Tribute to valor bright,
Oa monumental height,
In marble pure and white,
Bearing our Tag—Lo ANDERSON!

TEE LEGEND OF THE DRAGON.
44 1 n those times when dragons kept watch over
treasures, and when princes married shepherdesses,
the valley which you see at your feet was sur
rounded with such high and steep mountains
that no one had ever climbed to their summits.
I see that you look with a suspicions eye at the
neighboring hills, which do not appear to you
at all impassible. But every thing is com
pletely changed since then: shepherdesses are no
longer so enchantingly beautiful, treasures are al
most as scarce as dragons, and inaccessible moun
tains have become mere hills, with green, gently
sloping sides. In former times the valley was
inhabited by a woman and her three sons. Nei
ther the one nor the other had ever gone beyond
its barriers, for it was guarded by a frightful dra
gon, from whose mouth the flames belched forth
against the audacious mortal who ventured into
his neighborhood. Nothing could be more beau
tiful than that valley, which gave to its happy in
habitants every thing necessary for life. A clear
and limpid river flowed between the flowery banks;
flocks of goats and sheep, whiter than snow, wan
dered during the day in the rich pastures, and
came home at evening, bringing to the cottage
door their frothy milk; delicious fruits matured
in the orchard, and golden harvests waved under
the summer sun. The mother of the three young
men had never felt a desire to go out of this re
treat, where she had spent her whole life; but this
was not the case with her sons. One "day the
eldest said to himself that the horizon seemed nar ,
row, and that the labors of every day were mono
tonous. Filled with secret longings, he left the
field in which be was working, and climbed—hot
without great toil and peril—a hill whose summit
seemed to touch, the very clouds of heaven. He
reached it, however, and his forehead was covered
with perspiration, and his legs were trembling
with fatigue and emotion. He saw under the last
rays of the setting sun a wonderful panorama
which unrolled at his feet. Instead of the narrow
valley overhung with rocky mountains, it was an
immense plain, bordered far away by the blue
ocean, which was furrowed by numberless ships.
Palaces all sparkling with gold and crystal rose in
the distance from the midst of magnificent gar
dens, whore fountains gushed in marble basins.
The young man was so dazzled with all he saw
that he closed his eyes, accustomed as they were
from his birth to the simple beauties of the valley.
He noticed that toward the plain the mountain
was perpendicular, and that to attempt descend
ing its side would be making a useless sacrifice of
life. He therefore took his way homeward, and
returned to his mother and brothers overwhelmed
the first time saw her eldest son sombre and silent,
4 Have you nothing to tell us to night? Has any
misfortune befallen you ?'
"No, mother,' answered Gehan; but our val
ley is narrow, and it seems hard that I should re
main in it all the time
" The mother shook her head, and said in a slow
voice,
46 Galan, your father was born here, and died
in this valley without ever wishing to go else
where. Can't you do as he did ?'
" 'No, mother, I can no longer do it, for I shall
have no rest till I find out the means to escape
this prisoitity I saw the plain from the summit of
the mountain. How beautiful it is I How rich !
The houses are palaces; everysunbeen is reflected
by ingots of gold and blocks of crystal. The men
and women are clothed like kings and queens.
Their life is a perpetual holiday. We don't know
what pleasure is—we, who have no other occupa
tion than the cultivation of our fields and•the care
of our flocks; we do not know what it is to be
rich,—we who possess nothing but the fruits
of our orchards, and the wool and milk of our
sheep'
"The motbh aighed on hearing that speech,
for she well knew it heralded nothing good.
"During many evenings the conversation took
the same turn. The young man would repeat the
same words. He no longer had pleisure either in
his daily labor, or in the society of his mother and
brothers; he thought that to live in poverty and
labor was not to live at all, and every day he was
becoming more taciturn and sombre. At last, one
evening he declared his intention to leave the val
ley.. His mother besought him to give up' such
an insane project. All was useless. Seeing that
he did nee even care for her tears, she dried them
up, and said in a tone full of sadness,
"I Yam the day must come when the Dragon
shall be conquered. The man who will triumph
over him must posmess a talisman, and know some
magical word which destroys enchantment. Have
you got that talisman, my son, and know you that
word ?'
"The young man answered nothing, but kissed
his mother, and the next day was no more found
in the valley. At sunrise the Dragon was at his
post, and motionless, bat his eyes were more
bloody than usual, and his month vomited tor
rents of thicker flame and smoke. After that Ge
ban was no more heard of.
"Some time elapsed, and the second son of the
widow, he who was called Claudius, the dreamer,.
was attacked with the strange uneasiness which
had ruined his brother. Like him he climbed the
mountain, like him he saw at his feet the vast and
brilliant plain, where moved the gay and well
dressed throng. He saw the immense horizon,
the boundless sea, and beyond its greenish waves
he believed he could see other lands still more lu
minous and still more beautiful. Then be came
slowly down into the valley, and at night his mo
ther asked him also,
What ails you ? sad wilY don't yon talk, my
son?'
"Then Claudius answered that ::tho valley was
very narrow, and that to live without seeing or
knowing any thing was not living; that he also
wanted to pass the border of that valley, and
breathe the air of the vast plains, where nothing
narrows the borlion, where the eye meets with
no obstacle that keeps it from plunging into the
Infinite.
" His mother a wept, and besought m,
but in vain.
" 4 Do you know more than your brother ?' she
said; 'and do you wish to overwhelm me with
sorrow? Where is your talisman, my . son ?'
g I have one, - mother; it is the desire to know.
I know a powerful word; it is ltberty. My bro
ther sought only pleasure, but I have a nobler end
in view.
"Still the old woman shook her head, for ebe
well knew that that was not the magioal word
which could disarm the terrible guardian of the
valley.
"And, like the first, her second s

by the fireside.•
",However, the day'also came when, thisyoung
man was also dumb and dreaming ; kyr "tar n . His
mother watched him with sadness, for she knew
full well that it Would not be long before he would
be taking the path up the mountain—that same
path which both his brothers had followed before
him. And after he had struggled some time
against this desire, which he believed to be cri
minal, he climbed also the lofty summit from
whence the splendors and immensity of an un
known world beyond had smiled upon the two
others, and bad led them to their ruin. But what
he saw was fai-different from that which. they had
seen. He saw the immense plain as well as they
had seen it, and the blue ocean, and the limitless
horizon; but the inhabitants of this enchanted
country appeared to him anxious and happy. Ho
saw that gold and pleasure were their gods, and
that the noblest and best of them, whom such a
worship could no longer satisfy, embarked in frail
ships on an ocean covered with wrecks, searching
for something better. He gazed at them for a
long time from the height of the rock; then be
resolved to leave the happy valley, to go and teach
them the secret of happiness. With slow steps
he returned, to sit as usual at his mother's fire
side. But when the latter raised her eyes upon
him, she guessed all, and had no need of asking
him, as she had his brothers, what rendered him
so grave and silent. She did not weep, for the
fountain of tears was dried up within her, but she
remained-till morning looking at the old ashes of
the hearth.

born, her gentle and patient Hubert had disap
peared, what was her astonishment on perceiving,
at the very place where, the day before, stood the
terrible Dragon, a rock of a most singular shape,
covered all over with an abundant vegetation. She
rubbed her eyes, thinking tears had made them
dim, and believed she was a plaything of a dream.
But the more she looked, the more also did the
rock appear distinct to her.
"And it, was true that Hubert possessed, un
consciously, the magical word, the talisman which
has killed more than one dragon. It was neither
riches, nor pleasure, nor even knowledge and li
berty, which he had gone to seek; he had gone to
do good. Love in the heart and love upon the
lips—this is the talisman, this the magical word
which nothing eau resist.
"Ever since that day the happy valley was
opened to all, and every one could go and learn
there the secret of true happiness."

"YE THAT LOVE THE LORD, RATE
EVIL!"
Love to God, and love to sin, which he hates,
cannot both live in one heart. That which
God forbids, we shall not, if we truly love him,
desire to possess or chbrish.
To make this plain - to you; a child had a
beautiful bird, a canary, which sang to him
from early morning, and would eat seed out of
his hand, it was so tame. The mother of the
child was ill—so ill that the song of the little
bird, which to the boy was delicious music, dis
turbed and distressed her, so that she could
scarcely bear to hear it. He put it in a room
far away, but the bird's notes reached the sick
bed, and caused pain to her in her long feverish
days. One morning, as the child stood holding
his mother's hand, he saw that when his pet
sang, an . expression of pain passed over her
dear face. She had never yet told him that she
could not bear the noise, but she did so now.
"It is no music to me," she said, as he asked
her if the notes were not pretty. He looked at
her in wonder. "And do you really dislike the
sound?" "Indeed I do," she said.
The child, full of love to his mother, left the
room. The golden feathers of the pretty canary
were glistening in the sunshine and he was -

or soothing to him, and taking the cage in his
hand, he left the house. When he returned, he
told his mother that the bird would disturb her
rest no more, for he had given it to his little
cousin.
"Bat you loved it so," she said, "how could
you part with the canary ?"
"I loved the canary, mother," he replied,
"but I love you more; I could not really love
any thing that gave you pain. It would not be
true love if I did."
The child was right. And if you love your
Esther in heaven really and truly, you will
never love that which he hates, and which
caused the sufferings and the death of the Sa
viour of the world.—Mrs. Geldart.

THE USES OF MOUNTAINS.
Mr. Ruskin notes it as one of the most promi
nent uses of mountains, that they cause perpetual
changes in the soils of the earth. The physical
geographers assure us that if the whole matter of
the Alps were shovelled out over DirepOlie'level
of the continent would be raised about twenty feet.
And this process of levelling is continually going
on. By a calculation which he made in the , val
ley of Chamouni, Mr. Ruskin believes that one of
the insignificant runlets, only four inches wide,
and four inches deep, carries from Mont Blanc
eighty tons of granite dust a year; at which rate
of theft at least eighty thousand tons of the sub
stance of that mountain must be yearly transformed
into drift sand by the streams, and distributed
upon the plain below. Oa Whiteface Mountain,
of the Sandwich group, a slide took place in 1820
which hurled down huge blocks of granite ,
sienite,
quartz, feldspar, and trap-rock, and cut a deep ra
vine in the side of the mountain, several miles
in extent. But compensation was wade in part
for its destructive fury. An extensive meadow at
thebase, which had borne only wild coarse grasses,
was rendered . more fertile by the fine sediment,
hero and there four or five feet in depth, that was
distributed upon it, and now produces excellent
Frees and. white clover. Take a century or two
into account, and we find the mountains fertilizing
the soil by the minerals they restore to it,io com
pensate the wastes of the harvests. The
which, as compared withliving beings, seem ever
lasting, are, in truth, as perishing as they. Its
veins of flowing fountains weary the mountain
heart, as the crimson pulse does ours; the natural
force of the iron crag is abated in its appointed
time, like the strength of the sinews in a human
old age; and it is but the lapse of the longer
years of decay which, in the sight of its Creator,
distinguishes ; ; the. mountain range from the moth
and the wortit.

MS. HUNT
THE VETERAN TEMPERANCE LECTURER.
A very plucky man is that famous Temperance
lecturer, Rev. Thamas P. Hunt, now pretty well
down the hill of life. A few years ago he was
lecturing in a certain village on "the rights of li
quor-sellers." It was a very cold night, but he
made his audience warm enough as he delivered
extemporaneously one of the most extraordinary
lectures I have ever heard. The lecturer produced
great sensation, and abounded in happy hits, not
the least of which was his adroit management of
a parallel between liquor-selling and counterfeiting,
and getting his audience, by an overwhelming ma
jority, to vote by rising that liquor -selling was in
finitely more infamous and dangerous than coun
terfeiting I
After we reached home that evening he sat
several hours relatinc , incidents is his history.
One of these took place at Wilmington, N. C.,
soon after he began his Temperance ministry. He
was boarding with a lady in Wilmington when he
announced his intention to lecture on Temperance
in the' Ceurt-House on a certain day. This caused
a great excitement in the town, especially among
the "fellows of the baser sort," who loudly threat
ened that they would lynch the lecturer. Judge
—, a brother of Mr. Hunt's landlady, aware of
the excitement and the attendant dangers, tried
to induce him to go into the country with him to
dine that day with a friend, meaning to detain
him, and thus thwart his dangerous appointment.
Hunt declined to go, and then the Judge told him
that he was in honor bound to change his boarding
place, as he was fearful that the mob in their
rage against him might injure the lady's pro
perty.
Without any hesitation, the intrepid little man
—everybody knows that he is very much deformed
—called a servant to carry his trunk down to the
hotel which was the headquarters of the rioters.
As he entered the bar=room be found there a crowd
of these men drinking and venting their threats
against him. Advaliciag into the centre of the
room, he glanced about him with a contemptuous
look, and said, "You mean to mob me, do you?
You are a pretty set of fellows to be getting up
such a muss! Look here, it is not fair play for
you all to come at once, but come one by one, and
I will thrash the whole of you
The men looked confounded, and - then amused, as
they compared his lofty speech with his insignificant
person. But be interrupted their meditations by
saying he was " in earnest, and would whip every
man of them, one by one, if he could find anybody
honorable enough to take care of, his coat, watch,
and pocket-book."
No sooner said than a great two-fisted young man
stepped up and said, "I will take charge of
these things, and help you to fair play in the
bargain."
Hunt looked at him a moment, and then said,
"I see I can trust you with all I have got."
"Ay, ay, sir," said another stout young man
coming up to Hunt, "you may well say that. He
will take care of the things, and if he wants any
help to do it, let him call on me, and he will get
it 1'
Our shrewd man bad shown genius in thus or r „
ganizing a strong party out of very unpromising
materials and in a most unpromising locality; for
those two fellows already pledged, in addition to
their fighting qualities, were very popular among
their companions. Besides this, he had impressed
that gang of rough men with great respect for
hini.
And now with much ceremony he took off his
coat, and gave it, with his watch and pocket
book, to his new friend, and said to the crowd,
very coolly, "Now bring along your man!"
They selected a large man, wo was quite drank,
to be their first champion; but when that hero
came forward, Hunt said to them in a comic
manner, "I was to fight a man, but this fellow is
drunk, and it won't be any credit to me or to you
to whip him."
• Forthwith the fellow was withdrawn by his
companions, who laughed heartily at Hunt's re
tort.
One after another was brought forward to fight,
but was dismissed with roars of laughter as Hunt
met him with some of his indeseribabl
"Now - men, you have got to hear my speech on
Temperance, and the sooner you do it thii bet
tert"
"Hurrah for Hunt!" roared the company, in
the best of humor.
"Let us take him to the Court-House and hear
him right off," said one, "it will be as good as a
play to hear such a gamey felloUr speak!'
In an instant the shouldered their speaker,
and, surrounded by a great crowd, took him to
the Court-House, and told him to do his best.
And he did it. His mind was just right for
such an exigency, and with that speech he began'
a wonderful Temperance movement, which was
attended with some most thrilling incidents. Some
of these he has related in one of his little books.
But in this and in other scenes he was a fearless
man, and proved himself equal to the most try
ing occasion.
He was a man of great muscular force as well as
fearlessness, and finding that a gang of low fellows
meant to mob him as he left the elfurch on one oc
casion, he suddenly seized.one of them, and sternly
told him that he would hold him responsible for
his companions. The mobocrats quailed, and left
him unmolested.
In his talent for speaking, his clear and sharp
views of the bearings of the truth he discussed,
in his knowledge, of human nature, and his efrec
tivenoss, this veteran lecturer had few equals, and
no superior.

THE NEBULAE.
It is probable that not even Sir, William Her
schel, nor Miledler, nor any other man ever formed
an adequate idea of the distances of the nebulae
from us; still, the mere effort to do this, however
imperfectly successful, has a powerful influence in
enlarging our ideas.
We have frequently thought that but one man
ever fully realized the size of the United States;
and that was the man who, in 1850 and, 1851
went, from Maine to California with au ox Agana:
If it requires so much exertion to understand the
meaning of 3000 miles, how utterly intpossilile
must it be to form any conception of 192,000.
And yet this is the distance though which a ray
of light moves in a single second of time.
Directly in line between us and the great nebula
in Orion are four stars, entirely invisible to the
naked eye, and called, from the geometrie figure
which they form, the Trapezium. Now, since the
, ,
ray of light which entered our eye from those stars
started forth into space, children have been born,
hive slowly grown to manned, have moved through
the varied scenes of life, have lived to old age, and
died; they have been succeeded by their children,
their _grand-children, their great-grand-children,
thiOngh many generations; and still this ray of light
was speeding ever onward in its straight track, till at
last,.at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock in the evening
of March. Ist, 1861, it darted, through the great
lenses of the telescope, and its long journey was,
ended. The more the mind dwells upon the sub
ject the larger will be our ideas of the distance
required for the passage of light through such
length of time and with such velocity.. And yet
this distance is inconsiderable in comparison with
that which separates us from the nebnlm. When
the light by which we saw the great nebula in
Orion had arrived at the Trapezium, or the outer- .
most stars of our stellar system, its course was nearly
completed. Its swift flight had continued through
the growth and decay of empires. It started on
its journey in ancient times—before the pyramids
were built—probably long before the human race
was created. Sir William Herschel estimated
that some of the nebula) which were faintly visi
ble by the aid of his great reflector, were so remote
that light, in coming from them to us, would oc
cupy two millions of years.
The numbers of the stars in the system to which
our sun belongs are beyond the power of *compn
lotion, and those in some of the nebula are proba
ily numerous still. The numbers of the
nebulae, themselves, which we can see, increase re
gularly with the power of our telescopes, and hew
many of these vast groups of stars there may be
in the whole universe, •no astronomer presumes to
conjecture.
ci When I consider thy heavens, the work of
Thy finers, the moon and the stars which Thou
bast ordained ; what is man that Thou art mind
ful of him?"

was in readiness or an early campaign. William
received the int ligence with the calmness of a

SCIENTIFIC.

THE CENTRAL SUN.^ awn the last rew years
an hypothesis has been, advanced concerning the
possibility of the existence of a central sun. The
investigations have been prosecuted mere particu
larly by M. Maedler, an eminent European astro
npmer. The great extent of the range of influence
exercised by the law of gravitation, suggested the
high probability that in the assemblage of stars
with which our
. system. is connected, there is a
centre of gravity around which they revolve.
In order, if possible,,to establish this theory by
the facts of the univente, Meedler carried out his
observations of the heatenly bodies with great per
severance and ingenuit) , , and was induyed to Ai
red, special attention tt„ the constellatiOn Tauzin,
and particularly to the star. Aldebaran, Which
seemed to have the nearest approximation to the
conditions required. ll'urther investigation, how
ever, showed that the position and movement of
this star failed, in some essential respects, to an

Within fifteen degrees of this centre there are also
sixty , stars, moving south, or in accordance
with the hypothesis that Alcyone is the centre,

only one which appears' to move contrary to the.

movements of all the stars in every quarter of the
The result of the rrearches of Maedier led him
to the conclusion that-Alcyone, the principal star
in the group of the Plclades, occupies the centre
of gravity t and that arcind it the universe of stars

It is nothing new for' English statesmen to be
accurate and profound scholars. Oman, the Irish
orator, carried his Virgil always in his pocket;
and his biographer found him crying over the fate }
of the - unhappy Dido, in, a storm at sea, when
every other iperson on board would have seen Dido
hung up at the yard arm with indifference. Fox,

Robert Peel won the first honors of the uniVehity
at Oxford, both in the cflussics and the 'mathema

the lord-rectorship of Glosgow university, he de

or take tke Oxford calendar, for two hundred
years," says Lord Macaulay, "look at the church,
the parliament, or the bar, and it hiss always been
the case that the men who were first in the corn=
petition of the schools, were first in the compe

and the practical inference which it involves, that

will be admitted that no better evidence of the great
drative pOwers of this EXPECTORANT can be offered
tban the grateful testimony of those who have been re
stored to health by its use, and the wide-spread popu
larity which, for so long a period, it has maintained in
the face of all competition, and which has created a con
stantly increased demand for it in all parts of; he world.
As fares possible, this evidence is laid before the public
from tbne to time, until the most skeptical- will ac
knowledge that for all pulmonary complaints, it is
truly an invaluable remedy.
RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS, PLEURITIC
PAINS, &c., are quickly and effectually cured by its dia
phoretic, soothing and expectorant power.
ASTHMA it always cures. It overcomes the spasmo
dic contraction of the air vessels, and by producing free
expectoration, at once removes all difficulty of breathing.
BRONCHITIS readily yields to the Expectorant. It
subdues the inflammation which extends through the
wind tubes, produces free expectoration, and suppresses
at once the cough and pain.
CONSIIMPTION.--Fer this insidious and Mal disease,
no remedy on earth has ever been found so effectual.
It subdues_ the infiammation,—relieves the cough and
pain,—rcmoves the difficulty of breathing and produces
air' easy- expectoration, Whereby 'all irritating and ob
structing matters are removed from the lungs.
WHOOPING COUGH is promptly relieved by this Ex
pectorant: It shortens the duration of the disease one
half, and greatly mitigates the suffering of the patient.
In all PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, in CROUP,
PLEURISY, &c., it will be found to be prompt, safe,
pleasant and reliable, and may be especially commended
to Miturrriis, Tiscoins and Sprains, for the relief of
Hoarseness, and for strengthening the organs of the
voice.
