£x«Ug ®m||. STARLIGHT. BY MBS. VIRGINIA QUARLES. I’m sitting in the starlight, In the starlight pale and cold, 1 in thinking of my childish dajs— The merry days of old. Then every feeling of my heart Was mirrored on my brow— I never smiled when I could weep, As I do often, nowl I never felt so lonely then, The flowers and the bifds Were friends —I used to talk to them, In lisping, childish words. I’m sitting in the starlight, And sighing, but in vain, For the happy days of childhood, That can never come again! How swiftly did the blue, bright days Of sunny youth depart! Swift speed these woman-years, but leave A shadow on my heart 1 My song was happy ns a bird’s, My heart was light as air, And I remember still the words Of my sweet childish prayer! But now my bark is launched upon The restless waves of life— And 0 my heart shrinks wildly From tne struggle and the strife. I’m sitting in the starlight— I wish, and pray—in vain— For the happy days of childhood That can never come again 1 All things are changed about me, Save she who gave me birth, Her precious voice is still, to me, The sweetest sound on earth. For when I kneel, close by her side, And tell each joy or wo, There is no music in the world Can calm and soothe me so! Her gentle arms enfold me still, With fond, untiring love— God’s rioheat blessing that I prize, All other gifts above J How much I need her counsel now, To guide me, and sustain— Ah me! I wish I ware a child, A happy child, again! Yet how mv simple, childish heart Longed for these woman-yenra? The hopes it wove are withered flowers, The dew-drops turned to tears! 0 I would, give them all—eaoh dream And hope that time has brought— The noble aspirations, The gems of holy thought; Even the veiled treasure To whom my songs I pour, - If I might win the happy heart Of childhood back again 1 I’m sitting in the starlight. And the tear-drops fall like rain— • I wish—how wild the wishing! I were a child, again! COMING DOWN IN THE WQRLD. It lies like a great pain and a great shadow on my heart, the way papa looks every day when he comes home from his business, He’s grown so pule and thin, and has such a troubled, anxious, harassed, look, that I can’t bear to see it. If 1 sit down, talk to him about my doll, and my les sons, and the walks I’ve had, he don't listen as ho used to, and draw me close up to hitn, and look in my face, with his pleased smile, and pull my curls, and say, “Go on, Pussy,” when I stop, I know, whenever I look up in his face, that he hasn't heard a word of what I’ve been saying; and last night, when I carried him the new stere oscope Aunt Mary had sent me, he just turned away, and said — “There, there, Effie; I can’t be bothered with any such nonsense as that, now.” It just made me feel so bad, that I sat down on a corner of the lounge, and cried all alone to myself, and papa walked up and down the room. Suddenly, he turned round, and saw me. “Why, Effie!” he said, and came right towards n>e, and took mo up in his arms, and kissed me. *■ Did papa speak cross to bis little girl? She mustn’t mind, for he’s in a great, great deal of trouble, now, and don’t know what he says.” “Oh, papa, I’m very sorry 1 How soon will the trouble be gone?” I asked. “God only knows, my dear child;” and he set me down, with such a sorrowful look. Last night, when Guy and I were looking over that new book of “ Pictures of the Principal Cities of Europe,” mamma came in, and looked at us a few moments, and the tears came into her eyes, and she wiped them away, and then she rose up sud denly, and left the room, and I said to Guy, after wo bad looked at each other a moment — “Did you see that, Guy ?" “Yes, I did, Effie,” he said, looking as grave as an old man. “Papa and mamma are in some great trouble. What does it mean, Guy ?” My brother is nine, while I am only seven, so I thought it quite likely bo might know more about the matter than I did. “ I think it’s some trouble about papa’s business, and that he’s afraid he’ll lose all his property." “Well, would that be anything very bad?” I said. “Effie, you talk just like a girl. Of course it would be very bad indeed. We should be poor folks, and I don’t know what would become of us.” “You’d have to go without the new pony papa promised you when you wore ten —and I—oh, Guy, mamma said if I was a good girl till New Year's, I should have a party! How could 1 give that up?” “Well, I hope it won’t be so bad as that, for cither of us,” answered Guy, and his face was graver than-ever, and I thought be felt just as if he would like to cry, for his heart is'so set on the new pony. There’s a shadow over the whole house. I can feel it, and I go about on tip-toe, and don’t speak above a whisper. I wish the old time would come hack, when we all looked and felt happy; but, dear me 1 I haven’t the heart to go singing and playing around, as I used to. It’s all come out at last, and I can’t tell why, I don’t feel half so bad as I did, though it seems as though I’d grown a groat deal older, aud. a great deal stronger, since last night. We were all sit ting together, just at night-mamma, Guy, and I. Somehow. as it began to grow dark, the pain at my heart grew heavier, and I went and put my arm around mamma’s neck, as she sat still, lean ing her neok on her hand, and looking into the grate fire, and I said—• “ Mamma, mayn’t Martha light the gas, and then won’t you play some pretty tune on the piano?’’ • She looked at me, an'd smiled, and pinched my eheek, and I knew: that she was going *to say “ Yes;" and Guy sprang up, and started to open the piano, when the front door opened suddenly, and we heard papa's footsteps ring along the hall. They came right up stairs, towards the door as it opened. Papa did not speak a word; he came right towards the fire; but I knew that something very bad happened, as- soon os I looked in his fade. “ Oh, Willard, what u the matter?” exclaimed mamma, laying her hand on his arm. He turned aud said— “Mary, the worst has come. I’ve gone under, to-dayr. I’m a poor man." Mamma grew very pale; the tears‘rah right over ber : dheeksj hut she tried to smile, for all, and said— “Welly Willard, my dear husband, we won’t despair. You’ve got this comfort, you’ve done the best you could?’ “ I believe that I have,” said papa. “I haven’t wronged any man, and, for, myself alone, I could Btand it; but, there’s you and those dear children —oh, Mary! that’s the thought that cuts me to the quiok?” “Don’t let it, my dear husband. God will take care of us, and give us good, braVe hearts, to carry through this time of trial. 3 ' “Why, Mary, I didn’t suppose you'd take it like this;” and papa drew mamma to him. I went up to them—“ Papa, is it true we’re poor folks now ?” ( J “Yes, my little girl, papa has failed, and lost all of his property, and he's only got mamma, and Guy, and Effia, to comfort him now.” “ Well, papa, I don’t believe it’s so very bad to he poor. I’ll go without my New Year’s party, and wear my old dresses for a year.” “And I'll go without my pony,” said Guy, and I knew it cost him more to give up this, than it had me to let my party go. “They’ve got your spirit, Mary,” said papa, and he really smiled. “I begin to feel already already as though we should weather the storm?” “Of course we shall,” said mamma. “We must look the matter bravely iu the face, and make up our minds to come down in the world cheerfully and submissively. It won't be so bad, after all, Willard. We’ll break up here, and go off into the country, and back to the dear old cot tage where you found roe twelve years ago. I can be happy there again with you and the children, and almost forget that I ever left it. Aunt Rachel will grow young in her old age, to have us back there, and in the green flields and the sweet mountain air, our boy and our girl will forget to sigh for the lost luxuries of their city home.” “And we can keep a eow, can’t we, mamma? and feed the chickens, and ride horseback on Aunt Rachel’s old gray, every day, can’t we?” I asked. Mamma laughed, and kissed me. “Yes, little girl, you can do all those things; and you and Guy must learn to take care of your selves as much as possible, for we cau’t afford to beep but one girl; and there’ll be no nurse, or chambermaid, or waiter any more, for we’re poor folks, and shall even have to sell a great part of our furniture.” ‘•'Well, mamma, we couldn’t put it in Aunt Rachel’s cottage, you know. But I’d quite as lief bo there as here, for don’t you remember I cried when we came away last summer?” “ What a little philosopher!” said papa. “ And Effie, you and I can go and ride on far mer Watson’s loads of hay, and we can go off into the woods for berries and nuts; for the eggs in the barn every day. and watch the little black ducks go a swimming in the pond. Oh, I tell you, Effie, it’ll be glorious ?" cried Guy, clapping his hands, . “On the whole, I guess, Guy,” I said, “that it’s better to be poor folks, and live in the coun try. One can have such good times, you know!" Papa and mamma laughed outright, but there were tears in mamma’s eyes all the time; and at last she said. “ Maybe it’s for the best, after all, Willard. God may have sent this to make our boy and girl a bettor man and woman; for I have often tremb led lest this life of ease and luxury should make them weak and selfish. “As for you, dear, I’ve no fears. You’ll get into business again after the shock is over, and can take care of your little flock, for I’m resolved it shan't be much of a burden on you for the next five years. We will trust in God, and we shall weather the storm." “ So we shall,” said papa, with a smile that was like his old one! “And, Mary, we shall learn, one of life’s grandest lessons, that there may be calm, peace, and contentment, in coming down in (he world!’’ AN ANGEL. BY MARY A. DENISON. A little pauper boy sat down on the curbstone, and tried to think. His feet were bare, red, and cold, but never mind that —the chill air pene trated his ragged garments, but never mind that —he wanted to think. Who are these people passing him, looking so warm and comfortable? What did it mean that they should be happy and cheerful, and he so sad? None of them had such heavy hearts, that he was sure of. He looked up into the cold blue sky. What was it, and who lived up there? Somebody had said once that God would take care of Min. Where was God? Why didn’t Ee take care of him? 0, if he could only see God for one little minute, or the angel that the good men told him of when his mother died! Lid folks ever see God? did they ever see angels? An organ grinder came near and took his stand. The melody he. played lightened the little boy’s heart somewhat, but it didn’t warai him —it didn’t make him less hungry. He kept shivering in spite of the music, and he felt so all alone! so de spairing! Then the organ-grinder passed away— they never heeded the little child sitting on the curbstone, they had so many things to think of. The carriages passed by, and the carts and a com pany of soldiers; but it was all dumb show to him —he was trying to think, with such a dull pain at Ms heart. Presently three or four coarse-look ing boys gathered behind him, and winked and laughed at each other. In auother moment the youngest gave a thrust, and over went the poor little homeless child into the gutter. One scream, one sob of anguish, as he gathered himself up, and looked after the boys, now flying away with shouts of mirth. 0 how cruel it seemed in them-—how cruel! The little hungry boy walked slowly on, sobbing aud_ shivering to himself. He didn’t know what he was walking for, or why he was living; he felt out of place—a poor little forlorn spirit that had lost its way—a. bruised reed that any one might break—a little heart so tender that a look was anguish: how muck more a blow! The little boy stood at last near the corner of a street. An apple stand, at which he gazed with longing eyes, not far ofty was tended by a cross looking old man. There were eakes on the stand, and the poor little mouth of the homeless child watered as he saw one boy after another deposit his penny, and take his cake. He had no penny, and though there was hunger in his eyes, the cross-looking old man never offered him a morsel. The tempter came. The old man’s back was turned—a vile boy at his side—at the side of the homeless child—nudged his elbow. “ You take one,” he whispered, “I’ll give you half.” The little child gazed at him steadily. He saw something in the bleared eyes that made him shrink—something that set his heart to beating. “I tell you, hook one,” whispered the boy; “I won’t tell, and we’ll go away and eat it.” “I don’t want to steal," said the homeless child. “0 you fool!” muttered the brutal tempter, and smote him in the eyes, his heavy hand deal ing a blow that sent the poor little child against the wall, his whole frame quivering with anguish. The terrible blow had almost blinded him for a moment—a great sob came up in his throat—o what have I done to be treated so? There never, never was a God, or He would not let him suffer so-—and that because he refused to be wicked. I don’t believe that ever a man in his deadliest be reavements Buffered more than that sad little child. His heart was literally swelling with grief, and though he could not reason about it, he felt as if there was great and sore injustice somewhere. He started to eross the street. A dark, blind ing pain still made his poor temples ring. “Backl back ! Good he#vens ! The : child is under his feet! Back! back!” “Oh, mamma, it is our horses run over a poor little boy. Oh, mamma, mamma." “Is ho hurt much, coachman?” The woman’s face is pale as ashes. “Yes, he is hurt badly; take him right in; don’t wait; carry him right in and up stairs. It was your carelessness; the child shall be attended to.” ~ - \ There is no anguish now. Perhaps God saw he had borne all he could, and so took the poor little broken heart there to heal. How very white and quiet! “O, a sweet face! a sweet, sweet face!” murmured the womaD, bending over the boy, and tears fell upon his forehead;, but be did not feel them. “0, the poor little hoy 1” sobs Nelly, “ the poor little boy! I wish he had kept on the side-walk; I wish he hadstaid at home with his mother.” . Alas! In this world there was no mother to keep him. The doctor came, said he was not dead, bat would very likely die. There was a hospital near; the poor thing had better be sent there. But the good woman would not allow that. She would care for him herself, she said: he had been injured by one of her horses, and she felt it was her duty to attend to him. Besides, it was likely the child had no mother. Such a boy as he, with a face so sweet and girlish, ,so pure and loveable, would never be sent on the streets like that if he had a mother. Besides, (and 'here her tears fell) there i1 xt EaoutKl not J et green over just such a child. No, no, it was not in her heart to nut the poor wounded boy away. Let him stay whether he lived or died. 1 * The weary, weary days passed on. One morn ing the little boy opened his dim blue eyes, but he did not know himself. His glance fell wearily gq his hands. There were white bands around his wrists, with ruffles on them. The oe *? ' vas 80 snowy white, too, and a crimson light fell over every thing. , , “Dear God! lam in heaven," murmured the child; “yes, God will take care of me now. What visions of loveliness glanced forth from the shadow behind the bed? The rieh curls fell around a face of exquisite beauty; the beaming eyes looked love and gladness upon him. » “0 yes, there is an angel!” he said sottly, 1 am glad. They won’t knock me over again; they won’t want me to steal apples here; and perhaps I shall never die again. Now I want to see my mother.” ~ . ~, “My dear boy, are you better this morning l asked a low, soft voice. He turned slowly, wearily. “Is it mother?” he murmured. “0 yes, and there were quick sobs and tears; “yes, my little child, I will be your mother, and you shall be my son. Will you love me dearly ! J “Yes, Ido love you, mother; is it heaven? “Heaven; no, darling, it is earth; but God sent you here to our hearts, and you shall be loved and cared for. See, here is a little sister, and you will he very happy with her. Kiss him, Nelly.” Her rosy lips touched his pale ones, and a hea venly smile lighted up his face. The past was not forgotten, but it was gone. No more mouldy crusts, oaths, harsh words, and blows. No more begging at basement doors, and looking half-famished to envy a dog gnawing a bone in the streets. No more fear of rude children, who never knew where their own hearts laid; no more sleeping on door steps, and listening in terror to the drunken quar rels of the vicious and depraVed. Yes, the past was gone, and in the rosy future were love, home, even God and the angels. Cer tainly sweet spirits had guarded that child, and guided him out of seeming evil into positive good. Surely henceforth he would put his hand trustingly in theirs, and turn his face heavenward. Yes, it was so to be. The dear, teachable child—a jewel picked from the mire, a brand snatched from the burning—was yet to illumine the dark paths of this world with his holy, heaven-like teaching. Like a dove he was to go forth over -the waters, and find the olive-branch with which to garland his glad tidings. Blessings, then, on all who hold their arms out toward needy little children, making their homes arljs of refuge. Beautiful stars shall they have in their erowus of rejoicing, for surely there is no jewel brighter in all the world, and perhaps in all eternity, than the soul of a little child. A sentinel having been placed one day to guard a certain fort, and see that no improper in truders gained an entrance, was accosted by a spy, sent by an enemy to find out, if possible, where the fortress might be assailed with success; and as he appeared in the garb, and with the counte nance of a simple countryman, the sentinel had no suspicion of the cheat. He however was deter mined to be very vigilant, and say nothing that could compromise the safety of his charge. “You have a very important place to take care of here," said the spy; Home Magazine. “Very,” replied the sentinel. “ And you have a very brave and watchful set of comrades?” “Very,” replied the sentinel, again. “And I think you must be very thirsty this hot wCatber,” continued the spy. “ Very,” answered the sentinel once more. So far the sentinel thought ho had said nothing that could, by any possibility, be turned to his disad vantage, and determined not to utter another word. But the spy thought differently, and felt satis fied from the last answer that he must accomplish his scheme. “Poor man,” said the spy, “I feel for you very much; I have got some drink for you in a bottle here, to which you are welcome, and which I am sure will very much refresh you.” The sentinel answered not a word; but as he thought a draught of liquor to a thirsty man could, not possibly endanger the safety of the fort-, he accepted the offer, and put*the bottle to bis mouth. Upon tasting it, he found it to be very pleasant, and so drank off the whole of the contents- The spy departed; and' the sentinel, Shouldering his musket, marched backwards and forwards before the gate of the fortress, as usual. But after a: lit tle time he began to feel giddy and drowsy, and every now and then paused and nodded, until sit last he fairly laid himself down, and fell fast asleep. The liquor was of an intoxicating nature, and the poor Sentinel could not resist its,, effects.. The spy, knowing very well what would happen, called together his comrades, and marched hastily toward the fortress, where they found the sentinel asleep upon the ground; him thdy immediately stabbed to the heart; and as the garrison had no notice of the enemy’s approach, they were taken by surprise, and all of them slain or taken pri soners. The Moral.—We cannot he too vigilant in guarding against the first approaches of the tempter; for a single word may expose our weak point, and show the enemy where he may bd able to subdue us; and a single action that seems very harmless, may lead to our ruin. Many a young man has begun life with the determination to be very discreet and watchful in his own conduct, but who has been thrown off his guard by some wily companion, and then betrayed into sin. Have you a grandmother, dear little one? Is the warmest corner and the softest chair in your sitting-room filled by one whose locks are blanched, and whose brow is furrowed by years? If so, then you are a blessed child, and ought to be very thankful to the God who has spared this dear and loving heart to guide you, by sweet lessons and gentle example, in the paths of peace. Do you not pity little ones who have no grandmother? Who do yon think—when their mother is busy or away—strokes the weary little head, ties np the bleeding finger, warms within her own the half-frozen hands ? Who interestsherself in all their tiny affairs, from the flight of a kite to the strapping of a skate ? Oh, nobody but •■ grandmother” can sto.op from age and wisdom to be again a child for your dear sakes. A few months ago, the children in my house had two grandmothers, both a 3 gentle, loving, and good as, any.whomever Bore the namh:- Onh still' lives, honored and beloved by the fold of grandchildren among whom she’ dwells; but the other—pure in heart, merciful, meek, and a peace-maker—she is not, for God has taken her! No more can be done to comfort her; no sweet messages exchanged, no kisses ever more pressed 'on> her pale,- soft cheek! ■ She is dead, and her place is vacant; but her memory to those who love her still; is worth more than mines of gold. *. This dear grandmother made Very little noise in the world ; but she left a wider void than many whose names are known to fame. Children miss her gentle tones,—*-wiiiltf the poor and broken-hearted mourn a real friend. Thus the children here have one grandmother on earth and one in heaven. May they and all of you, little readers, deal very tenderly with the aged, who are so kind to yon, and whom God commands you to honor, for they will soon pass away from your love and care. THE SABBATH BREAKER, AND HIS About twenty-five years ago, a very wealthy, but a very wicked merchant, was doing a prosper ous business in the city of New York. Among his other sins against God, that of Sabbath-lSreak ing seemed most manifest, and he appeared to take delight in violating the sanctity of the Lord’s day. . As be did .business on a very largelscale, he at one time gathered up one.million and a half of money, all in the old Spanish milled dollars, which was considered the best currency to send to China, to which his trade had been directed; fjuislfgtniatt and CStaaplist. Wesleyan Methodist Magazine. THE SENTINEL AND THE SPY. HAVE YOU A GRANDMOTHER? and as several vessels-wonld he required to bring home the return cargo, he divided his million and a half dollars into seven parts, and putting it into seven ships, sent them to China; but to show his contempt for God and his law, he determined to send them to sea on seven consecutive Sabbaths, intending, perhaps, in this way to test the ques tion as to who should rule, he or Jehovah. The ships went out safely with the money, and re turned with the.nieiphandize. They were neither engulfed in the' ocean, ndr wrecked on a lee shore, but when the voyages, were settled up, there was a loss of one third of the money, one million being returned, and five hundred thousand sunk in the enterprise. Loss after loss succeeded, and in about four years after, the rich merchant died & bankrupt. Now, was this Providence? Was it God’s controversy with a wicked man? or was it a “ chance thing” that happened ? Presbyterian. LABOR THE PRICE OF EXCELLENCE IN But .labor is the price which the gods have set upon all things excellent. Michael Angelo, if any man, had, a right to rely on genius, yet , of himself he said that all was due to study. The original drawings of the old masters, now so widely known through photographic reproductions, ought to convince every tyh> in the arts that unflagging industry can alone secure a high position. Pic tures painted with, a command which at first sight might imply facility—-Raphael’s “School of Athens,” for example—are yet discovered .to be the result of long and careful elaboration. Mi nute studies havebeenmadefor every figure; sepa rate drawings for the complex masses of drapery; accurately shaded 1 outlines, were executed’ for the hands and'feet. In the collection of the Arch duke Albert in Vienna is a well-known sketch for the Transfiguration! the Apostles nude, with other more detailed studies on a larger scale, marking with utmost precision the anatomy of limbs which subsequently imposed drapery would wholly con ceal. The artists, Indeed, whose creations have borne the scrutiny and obtained the admiration of all succeeding ages; seem never to have relented one momeut from their labors, nor their pencil to have paused a single instant over the busy work. Folio volumes contain the drawings of Leonardo in Milan; and no forms of human face, whether in beauty or caricature; seem to have escaped the keenness of his ’observation. And all these accu mulated materials were made to subserve a well conceived and maturely calculated purpose. These sketches are not the mere mechanical product of the hand—tbe head was Working while the fingers were executing. Lines were combined into sym metrical composition; forms were balanced in just proportion and thrown-into bright position; and thus the picture was matured from step to step by long study and Careful forethought. In conclu sion, we wish if to be ever remembered, that the works which have so long stood before the world as examplejf;«tf ‘the grand style of art 1 did not take their Origin, in mere, happy chance, in fortuitous combination: of circumstances, or in a daring stroke of ambitious genius; but that Leon ardo, Raphael, and’-Miohael Angelo labored ardu ously, even to the completing of minutest details; that to them; as all true workers, life was short and art long, for high was tbeiraim. and the ab solute perfection towards which they aspired still ever retreated at their approach into infinite dis tance. And if, in the present, we would strive after the same goal, we must walk in the same path. There has not yet been discovered, even in this nineteenth century, a royal road to art. On the contrary, the old avenues of approach would seem to be blocked up, and’aspirants now stumble along a beaten but broken way, sometimes guided in wilfuluess, sometimes scrambling in haste, or sometimes groping in ignorance;'till at last they wander widely astray, and at length are more or less contentedly lost in pleasant places, glorying iu a low order of remunerative success. Blackwood’s Magazine. * -Some- years ago a German -chemist; expeS?- menting on coal tar, discovered a beautiful purple color, but, took no particular notice of it,; he merely jotted down the fact, and gave to the color the name of Aniline. Recently, a young chemist, Mr, Perkins of Greenford Green, near London, a pupil of Dr. Hofmann, of the Museum of Practical Geology, Jefmyn street, was trying to produce the well-known quinine bitter from BeDzole, another substance dis covered by Professor Faraday to exist in coal products. The composition of quinine and of benzole was well-known, and theory indicated that the former could be produced from the lat ter; and so the, experiments were begun. Every one knows how on going for a country walk we are often led by some stray flower or trivial incident to go out of the path we origi nally intended to take. So with young Perkins; he started off in search of quinine, but was ar rested by the beauty of aniline. Under his fostering care,jjubUin.e has now become the pa rent of a family of dyes known by the names of Magenta, Mauye, jSSolferino; two of the names of which base been given -to the new tints from the towns where the recent battles were fought in Itaiyir-about the time of their dis covery. - Several branches of commerce will by the use of these new dyes be so-materially altered that the names of Magenta and Solferino will live in commercial no less than in political his tory. The only fine dye (cochineal) that could be produced of aualogous tints to Solferino and Magenta was made-from a little “lady-bird” insect, the Coccus Cacti, and in consequence of scarlet being the national color worn by the British army, the consumption of cochineal for dyeing cloth has been exceedingly great, and the importation of cochineal annually has on an average amounted to about ,800 tons, of the value of £850,000, Thousands of acres of land have been setsapart for'the cultivation of the cactus, the p|Mnt on 'which the insect feeds; and almost Numberless hands have been em ployed to trap: it when fit to kill . Whole ships have been laden with this curious freight, and vast warehoused in onr docks have been appro priated to itS'bpqsing. All- this must soon pass away, and tbaj; too, at a rate proportionate to the advancement of the chemical knowledge of the age. Cochineal is already at a discount price in the market, for aniline is rapidly taking Its place. As-to the mode of preparing aniline, we must refer’special readers to the usual au thorities, such, asUitE’s Dictionary of Arts. There are a few substances that admit of being prepared in a greater variety of ways—starting off, however, pom the same material, namely, coal tar. , - It is an astonishing fact that these beautiful colors, produced in our day, are eliminated from coal—fro®-the plants and flowers of for mer ages! - /Me fact that the glorious sun il lumined these flowers, which bloomed and passed away before the Deluge, clearly shows us how indestructible is matter, and how per haps the beautiful dyes of flowers of former ages again appear in the form of Aniline 1 Small,.minds spend a good deal'of time in deciding, as to a particular course of conduct; whether “ they can afford to doit.” “What will Mrs. Grundy say?" is a question of momentous interest. To do anything which Mrs. Upstart or the “Smith’ consider" mean,” is no more to bo thhn committing a petty larceny, and being fouud out. It is known that any of the Want-to-be’s would almost as lief be found coming out of a hen-roost at midnight, as to live in any street having “East” attached to it; while there ate those who feel forty feet higher, by reason of their being able to say, “ I live in Fifth Avenueand for such to be seen with, a bundle or package in the hand on Broadway 1 they would fairly tremble in their shoes, lest they might be recognised by some one into whose “set;” they were aiming to obtain an entrie. A Baltimore Buonaparte surprised a friend one Reaper. ANILINE. DARING TO DO. day, by carrying a broom homeward. “ Why, it belongs to me!” was the reply to a question and look of incredulity. Says a Washington letter writer, “Yesterday, I saw Sam Houston carrying, dike Lord Napier, his own small bundle, with its clean shirt and towel, its piece of soap and hair brush.” Let the young and all remember, that it is the motive which constitutes the meanness, or otherwise, of an act which is not in itself dis honorable. Better is it for a man to do a thing for himself, than to have another do it for him, when he cannot afford to pay for tbf service. The first step towards implanting in the mind of a child, a feeling of, self-reliance and a manly independence, is to teach that child to help him self whenever ip is practicable. NATIONAL GREATNESS THROUGH SUE- “It is in periods of apparent disaster, during the suffering of whole generations, that the greatest improvements on human character have been-effected, and a foundation laid for those changes which ultimately prove most beneficial to the species. The wars of the Heptarchy, the Norman Conquest, the Contest of the Roses’ the Great Rebellion, are apparently the most disas trous periods of our annals; those in which civil discord was most furious, andtbe public suffer ing most universal. Yet these are precisely the periods in which its peculiar temper was given to the English character, and the greatest addi tion made to the causes of English prosperity; in which courage arose out of the extremity of misfortune, national union out of oppression, public emancipation out of aristocratic dissen sion, general freedom out of regal ambition. The national character whieh we now possess, the public benefits we now enjoy, the freedom by which we have been distinguished, the ener gy by which we are sustained, are, in a great measure, owing to the renovating storms, which have—-in former ages—passed over onr coun try.” . , ; For months after the battle of Alma in the Crimea, in which the Rnssians were beaten by the English and French, not only France and E'ngland, but all,Europe was made to ring with accounts of'the desperate encounter, the deter mined valor, and the terrible slaughter of the Allies, and yet of the English loss hut 353 were killed, and but 317 of the French, while our loss of killed at Bull Run was 481. In fine, the allied total loss In the “ desperate ” battle of Alma, was, in regard to the numbers under fire, nearly two per cent, less in killed and wonnded than onrs in the “trivial” battle be fore Manasses, as many of the English pro nounce it, and our loss was much'less than the rebels. • “Patrick, spices Camp life somewhat.— For instance : he is detailed for'guard, and at night receives the countersign. He does not readily appreciate the instruction for challenging, and makes sotae ludicrous blunders. A corporal of the guard'approaches him. “ Who goes there 1” Hibernian asks. “ Corporal of the guard.” “ Ad vance, Corporal, and give your sentiments!” Corporal says, “I am a Republican.” Son of Erin finds himself in a dilemma, puzzlep his brain, but finds no relief. It'does not seem to be satisfactory, even if tlie corporal is Republican, and corporal instructs him that it is the counter sigh he should ask for; the sentry is satisfied, and corporal goes on his way. One of the same class challenged a passer by, “ Who goes there ?” Ans. “A friend,” “ Advance, friend, and say some thing,” .leaving an ample opportunity to the “ friend” to expatiate on anything to any extent; happily he knew what was wanted, and Settled the matter by giving the countersign.

RUFUS BABCOCK, D. D., Secretary of the American and Foreign Bible Socibtv, writes: — “Having given Dr. D. Jayne’s medicines a trial in my own family, and some of them personally, I do not hesi tate to commend them as a valuable addition to our materia mcdica, The EXPECTORANT especially I con sider of inestimable value, and I know that it is highly esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the most respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine.” Rev. B. V. R. James, Missionary in Liberia of the Pres. Board of Foreign Missions, writes:— “Your EXPECTORANT has been administered with the most happy results, and I feel assured I never used an article of medicine that produced a more sure and certain relief for the complaints for which it is recom mended.” Rev. John Dowling, D. D., Paßtor of the Berean Bap tist Church, N. Y., writes:— “t have long known the virtues of your EXPECTO RANT, and frequently tested them on myself and family, when afflicted with coughs or coeds. I believe it to be one of the best remedies ever discovered fur these mala dies.” t Rev. N. M. Jones, Rector of Church of St. Bartholo mew, (Prot.

Jayne’s EXPECTO RANT.” Exchange. Mrs* Mary Ball, of the Protestant Episcopal Mission, Cape Palmas, West Africa, says:— “ In our mission families your medicines are a general specific, and among the sick poor they enabled me to do much good. Your EXPECTORANT has proved of great value in the case of Rev- Jacob Rambo, and in that also of Rev. Mr. Green, two of our missionaries.” XV. c. L. Fisher, formerly pastor of tho Dell Prai rie Wis. Baptist Church, writes:- « A little daughter of mine, aged seven years, had been afflicted for some time with Asthma and Palpita tion of the heart, and having tried various remedies without relief. I was persuaded to get your EXPEC TORANT and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using them she was restated to a good degree of health.” KEV. SAMUEL S. DAY, Missionary of the Baptist Board, at Nellore, India, wt ites “By the use of your Expectorant my Cough and Sore Throat are now well. I find, occasionally, an un- Sleasant sensation in my throat, as if mucus had,lodged tere, hut your Expectorant usually relieves it by two or three applications.” REV. J. R. COFFMAN, of Winfield, Tuscarawas eo., Ohio, writes “ One bottle of Jayne’s Expectorant, cured my daughter of Luno Fever, after having been beyond the hope of recovery; During the attack she had-a number of convulsions.
