Scott And The Veteran.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
AN old and crippled veteran to the War Depart
ment came
He sought the chief who led him on many a field
of fame—
The chief who shouted " Forward I' where'er
his banner rose,
And bore its stars in triumph behind the fly
ing' foes.
"Save you forgotten, General," the battered
soldier oried,
" The days of eighteen hundred twelve, when I
was at your side.? •
Have you forgotten Johnson, who fought at
Lundy's Lane ?
'Tis true, I'm old and pensioned, but I want to
•-'4, fight again. "
'Have I forgotten ?" said the chief: "my brave
old. soldier, No I
And here's the hand I gave you then, and let
'it tell you so':
But you have done your share, my friend;
you're crippled old and gray,
And we have, need of younger arms and fresher
blood tcoday. ' •
"But, General 1" cried the veteran—a flush upon
his brow—
" The very men who fought with•ms, they say,
are traitors now
They've torn the flag of Lundy's Lane—our old
red whit e and blue—
And
while a drop of blood is left, I'll show that
drop is true.
I'm not so weak but I can strike, and rye
good old gun,
To get the range of traitors' hearts, and prick
them,. one by one ;
Your Mime rifles and such arms it aint worth
while to try
I eould'nt get the hang o' them, but keep .
my powder dry I '
" God bless yol, comrade 1" said the chief—
" God bless your loyal heart
But younger men are in the field, and claim to
have their part;
They'll plant sour sacred banner in each rebel
lions town,
And woe, henceforth, to any hand' that dares to
r un it down. " • '
"But General !" still persisting, the weeping
veteran cried :
"I'm, young enough to follow, so long as yoter3
my guide :
And some, you know must bite the dust, and
that, at least can I;
So give the young ones place to, fight, but me a
place to die I
"If they should fire on Pickens, let the colonel
in command
Put me upon the rampart, with the flag-staff in
thy hand; ,
No odds how hot the ppnnorwernoke; or how the
shells may fig,
hold the Stars alpt Stripes aloft, and hold
' them till I, diet
" I=n i ready / General / so you let a post to me be
gtven
Where. Washington can see me, as he looks
from highest heaven,
And tlay to Putnam at his side, or, may be, Gen
eral Wayne,
There stands old Billy Johnson, that fought at
Imndy's Lane
And when the fight is hottest, before the trai
tors fly—
When shell and ball are screeching, and burst
ing in the sky—
If any, shot should hit me, and lay me on my
face,
My Bout would go to Washington's and not to
Arnold's place!" .
CARL AND PEARL.
" Do not spend it for candy," said Mr.
Perry, as he gave his nephew and niece each
twenty-five cents. "Candy is poor stuff for
children."
- Carl and Pearl sat wondering what they
had better do with so much money. In truth
they really desired to spend it.for just what
they had been bidden not to do by their care
ful uncle. When he shad taken his depar
ture,,they felt relieved—they were almost
soTry,to feel so for they loved him dearly—
but they wanted to talk the matter over.
"Now," said little Pearl, when his footfall
had dies away, "what had we better do with
it ? What a lot of money it is !"
"We need hosts of toys. Your doll's nose
is broken, and, if the truth must be told, her
face is none of the cleanest ! You ought to
have a hoop, and I a painted kite."
" But, Carl, kite time is over, and I do
not oars a pin for a new. hoop; the one, mo
ther;-took off of the old hogshead is good
enough, and I hate to jump rope it makes'
my heart beat so, and I still think dolly is a
beauty.',!
" We'could spend it for books then, or at
tend the caravan if it comes here. 0! we
might ride to Boston in the horse•cars, where
I hear, there are lots of wonderfUl things to
be seen."
"So we might, if mother will consent.
Woulk she trust us to go,alone ?"
"No indeed. Let us invite her to go with
44 . SO we will, Carl ; and pay for her with
our, money. - How funny that will seem to
us, when she has always had to pay for us."
The children immediately sought their mo
ther' who 'at once agreed to permit them to
visit Boston, and pleasantly accepted their
invitation to aecompiny them. Indeed, she
would 'not have permitted them to go with
out ber, or some other grown person.
"Shall we go to-morrow?"asked Pearl,.
dancing about in high glee.
44 If it be pleasant. Fortunately for your
desire, this is vacation week."
The next morning, Mrs. Perry, with Carl
anti Pearl, took seats in an early train for
Beaton. The children looked out of the win
dows all the way, and wondered much at the
sights they saw. They had no idea of the
size of Boston, they declared upon entering
the city.
"It is so large and crowded, and every
body seems in a hurry," whispered Pearl,
walking timidly between her mother and
Carl, holding a band of each. " Children
dress splendid here," she added a moment
later, as a group of elegantly attired chil
dren passed her on their way.to school.
"That they do !" replied Carl, beginning
to fear his clothes did him little credit.
" I don't see any girl with just such a hat
as mine," rejoined. Pearl, a little discontent
edly.
" Mother, please notice how that boy's
jacket and pants are cut," said Carl, as a lad
of about his age sauntered lazily and grace.
fully towards them.
"I will, my son."

"If you are willinF, we will ri

Perry.
After bestowing much wonder nd ad
miration upon the State Ilouse i tthe atues of
Webster and Franklin, and beintifu pictures
benevolently (as it seemed to them, rid as in
fact it is)"displayed in shep, windo 's, and ,
partaken of a slight lunch, the childr n found
themselves near an alley, w re wa gather
ed a group of children ill-clad unhap y-Ipok
ing, with such thin, pinched aceaNnd tun
gry glances 'fixed upon a nei borin ' bread
shop.
" I don't, like to be here, mother. didn't
know that children ever looked like hose !
Do let us go away," almost crie4Pea con

" Ugh ! how ugly that big hey look 1 I

window. If I had some money would e
it t'o him to buy bread with," said Carl.
"I have some coppers that I canisp,pre;
will give them to the big boy, and till him t
buy bread with them," said Mrs. Perry,‘ suit
ing the, action to the word. • 1 ,
The boy's face lighted with die beams .of
gratitude instantly. Awkwardly thanking
her, he rushed into the shop, and presently
returned, bearing three coarse loaves. Val
ling to the group, be shared his bread, k ep
ing—hungry as he was—the smallest 's red
to himself..
"I would not have believed
,that of hi !"
said. Carl, At breathless surprise.
"Ile don't look so very ugly now," rejam
ed Pearl, now venturing to scrutinise tlie
group. " Some of the girls would be pret
if they were only fixed up. Mother, mayb

they haven't anybody to. see to them, and
know they must be poor. 0, dear ! f wish not
any body had to be poor !"
"Mother, I would like to know that boy'
name;" whispered Carl. " Please ask him."
"'What is your name ?" asked Mrs. Perry.
" John Jackson,. ma'am,"'replied the boy,
touching his cap, and smiling with pleasure ,
at her notice.
" Have you parents ?"
Yes ma'am," sighed John, half turning
away, as if unwilling to be further questioned
in that direction.
" Give me a cent," now .began to coax
some of the smaller children, at which John's
eyes flashed angrily.
"Be still, can't ye ? Hasn't the lady been
good enough to us he impatiently de
manded.
" Yes, yes," the little teasers whimpered,
drawing off.
" I will give you all the money I'have to
spare, John, to be divided equally among you.
I know you will do it fairly," Eiaid Mrs. Per
ry, opening her purse, and bringing forth a
handful of change amounting to thirty
cents.
" Thank you, ma'am ! replied John,
plucking again at his vizorless cap, and show
ing all his teeth in his gratitude.
".0 dear ! I wish, Carl, it didn't take all
our money to come to Boston, get our lunch
cheons and go *me I" cried Pearl, who felt
like turning all her clothes. into money and
giving it to John, and then would have
blushed with shame that so small gift..was
all she had to offer one so noble-hearted.
"Do you attend Sabbath-school? " asked
Mrs. Perry. •
Every one in the group answered in the
negative.
" Will you not go'? You will be, far
liap
pier.for going. I wish you :would premise
me that you will go."
"We haven't anything to wear, ma'am."
" We should be laughed t at, that we should."
" Sunday-school scholars always look nice."
These were the answers of the neglected
littte ones.
"Do not mind your clothes. Go with
smooth hair, neat 'rands and faces. You will
find good friends—your teachers and super
intendents—ready to helP you to:better clo
thing. Say, will you go next Sabbath ?"
"Yes, ma'am," came :from most of the
gropp, but John was silent and downcast.
Cannot you promise me that you will go
John ? "
"No, ma'am, I'm afraid my father would
object.", And John.drooped lower his head.
Still you will try to gain his consent ? "
" Yes, ma'am," replied John, heartily.
" That is riht, John. I hope we shall
meet again.' Good morning," said Mrs.
Perry.
" Good by, John; and all," cried Carl and
Pearl, reeling a trifle sorry to leave the group
which at Exit had distressed them.
The children were silent and thoughtful on
the ,way home. At twilight, as they sat on
low chairs on each side of their mother, they
divulged the subject of their thoughtfalnesS.
" One thing is certain ' mother—l shall
never again think richly dressed boys are

around me! " •
" Yes ; but did you not also learn that even
in poverty there may be happiness, polite
ness, consideration for others, and rare gen
erosity ? "
" Yes, mother. And I learned another
thing—that I may be selfish when I oughn't
to be ! I don't think I could have given
more bread than I kept for myself to each of
the others, as Jolla did, and he so hungry.
Besides, I am contented to live here. I used
often not to be. I wanted to live in a great
house like Col. Lenham's, and have lots of
money, and nothing to do but enjoy myself.

Now, I'm glad I live in this pleasant, com

who never looks like those poor little girls
in Boston, and a precious mother, always
watching over me, and telling me about my.

" can't forget that, mother, for you never
allow it to slip from my mind. I wonder what
I should do were I left to myself. "
And Carl subsided into silent thoughtful
" And did not my little daughter learn
something to-day ? " •
" Yes, mother ; all that Carl did, and more
—although he may have thought of it, too.
I learned to speak a word for the dear 'Sab

will do those poor children good. " .

After reading, Mrs'. Perry knelt between
her - children, and tenderly and touchingly
did -she urge upon the 'ever-listening Father,-
the needs of all the neglected little ones upon
the broad earth. When Carl was safe with
in his little chamber, he mentally asked

The women of England ar,

one preeminent advantage as egards exer

wanting, and that is the character of their
climate. Say .as much as you will against
the English climate, it could hardly be bet

From Rev. ALBEIT; BARNES, pastor of, the First
Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia: •
"I have read with. as much care and attention as
I could bestow on it, a work by the Rev. William Ba
con, entitled " /Esthetic Piety or the beauty and love
liness of the Christian Religion." The design of this
work, as stated., by . the author 44).23, 24,) is to show
1. That the Christian Religion is essentially beau
tiful and lovely.
2. That Christians should strive, as ranch as possi
ble.to attain and to exhibit all, the excellences of this
religion.
8. That sinners as well as saints should candidly
examine and correctly estimate the duties and graces
of Christianity, and thence be led to adopt and prac
tice them in order to secure all the happiness to which
they will lead."
No one can loubt the importance of the subject
thus discussed. And in my judgment the - author has
discussed them in such a way as to be eminently uses
ful to all those who will read his work. The piety of
the church would be of a higher order, and the hap
piness of Christians would be much greater, if they
would follow the counsels addressed to them in this
book ; and it would be for the eternal welfare of those
who are notnovv Christians, ifthey would, as the author
suggests, so examine Christianity ; so lay aside all pre
judice ; so yield themselves to the conviction of truth,
as to,embrace the .Christian system and practice it in
their lives. I think that the book is adapted to elevate
the faith, arid, increase the, piety of tbe Church, and
that its tendency would be to convince all persons
that the Christian religion is "worthy of all accepta
tion," and is the richest gift which God has confer
red on mankind.—l have known the Rev. Mr. Bacon
for rfiany years, - and In such circumstances as to
show what manner of spirit he is of,' and I have the
utmost- confidence in his piety, his zeal, and his de
sire to do good to the worlcl, and commend this work
—the fruit of the reflections of many years, and the
result of a desire to do good when he is unable pub
licly. to preach' the Gospel, to all with whom my
name may serve as a sufficient commendation of the
work to induce them to examine it for themselves."
ALBERT Blawss.
From Rev. MARK 'IIOPNINS, 1). D. L. L. D., Pre
sident of William's College, and of the A. B. C. F.
M. ' t
" Your work on '" Al athetic Piety" I have no he
sitation in commending for its judicious design,'. its
clear discrimination of the elements of Christian
character, its forcible commendation of them, and
its fall reference to those passages of Scripture by
which they are sustained." • • bfAuts. HOPKINS.
From the Professors of the Auburn Theological
Seminary.
"I have read your• work on 'Esthetic Piety with
efitire approbation and unmingled gratification. It
is full of sound common sense, suggestive thought and'
scriptural truth. It cannot fail to profiethose who
will attentively re,ad it. lam glad that while you are:
disabled from all labor abroad, you are able to divert
your own mind, alleviate the pains of your long con-,
finement, and render yourself widely and permanent-,
ly useful by producing such works." . •
• r EDWIN HALL.
"I have read your last volume entitled " ...Esthetic
Piety" with much satisfaction. The cultivation at
this department of Christain character demande at
tention. Your book has my cordial , approbation, as
it furnishes desirable help to the many who are in
need of a Manual on this subject. I rejoice that dur
ing your long confinement you are able to use your
pen for the good of the Church." J. B. Conon.
"I have read with interest and profit the work on
".esthetic Piety" by Rev. WILLIAM ; BACON.
"The very discriminating and full analysis of the anis
flan character it contains, classes it as an aid to self
'examination with the best extant Works on experi
mental religion; and the .exhibition .of'_ the
why piety is too often presented in an unattractive,
form is full of admonition to all Christens. As a
work, not forpopular 'reading, but for closet contem
plation, I wish it might be put into the hands of
every , church member." SAML. M. HOPKINS.
"I have yet been able only to' glance; at it"—
' /Esthetic Piety.' But I have read enough ta,diseo
ver, that it is an excellent work of its kind, skilfully
adapted to recommend our holy religion even as a mat
ter of taste; to show tile groundlessness of the impres
sion, (whence so much aversion to Christianity,) that
it is "unsightly and forbidding." At the same time.
I am glad to notice, that you do not lose sight of.
those higher considerations, which would make it an
imperative duty,, and the true interest of 'sinners to
embrace the Gospel, even though it should be offen
sive to the nice taste of the cultivated and refined."

Patent Champion Safe, of your make- which we bought
from you nearly five years ago, from the ruins of our
building, No. .716 Cheatnut street, which was entirely
'..leatroyed 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 interior was one mass
of fire. The Safe being , in the back part of •the store,
and surrounded bv the niost combustible. materials,
was
exposed to great heat. it fell with the wails of that
part of the building into the cellar, - and remained im
bedded in the ruins for more than thirty hours.
The. Safe was opened this morning in the presence of
a number of, gentlemen, and the' contents, comprising
our books, bills, receivable money, and a large amount
of 'valuable pa.pers, are all, safe; not a thing was touched
by fire.
Respectfully, yours,
