I told him I could have no particular in fluence, unless you have scruples of con science about marrying. He is a clever young man, and I see no objection. He is very unlike his fanatic uncle.” * Ile might have talked an hour with out receiving a reply. Catherine’s manner had changed ; there was no lon ger the emotion or the blush. “What shall I tell him?” “ Anything you please,” said she, “so that I never see him again.” ■ “Why, this is strange,” said Luther; “you did not seem to have scruples of conscience just now. My dear Cathe rine, you must not forget that you have no natural relations here, and this young man can be a protector to you.” “I wish you would not speak of |him,” replied she. , I “Is there any one else that you like Ibctter ?” said Luther. She made no reply. “ Nay, speak; I have every disposi tion to serve you. ;; Has any other, per son made the same proposition to Irou?” | “Yes,” said Catherine, with a little [womanly pride; “ Counsellor Baumgart iner has made the same proposals.” | “Do you prefer him ?" I “Yes,” she replied, rising-; “but I jam as happy as I ever expect to be. ply friends assure me that I am no bur pen, but a help to them; and so I wish |you good morning." ; f Poor Catherine hastened to her room. [Her dream was over. . Luther,, the aus ftere, the insensible reformer, had awak ened her from it. Margaret entered while her eyes were vet red with weep ing. She tenderly approached and [embraced her; but neither exchanged a [word. “There is no hope for Bodenstein,” >ught Luther; “it is evident Bauin .'tner is the object. Catherine is a ild; if the Elector dies, she is without >port, except by the labor of her ids; and they do not look as if they •e made for labor. I will write to :ome Baumgartner; he is well known a young counsellor at Nuremburg.” Accordingly he wrote: “1524, Oct. 12. “If you would obtain Catherine von ■a, hasten here before she is given to ither who proposes for her. She has ; yet conquered her love for you. I 11 rejoice to see you united. Luther.” The young counsellor received this ter with suprise and incredulity. The iti.ve refusal of Catherine, some iths before, had left no doubt on his d, and he thought the wisest plan to enclose the letter to her, and to lire whether it was written with her ition. n the meantime, Luther’s friends be to urge him to marry, particularly lancthon. “You preach,” said he, what you do not practice.” He protested, however,, that he would be.caught in the snare; that his - fully occupied. !

Since his beautiful death I see all things in a new light. I have not lost my son; he is living still; let those who believe not in God, or the future, wear their sackcloth and ashes. I will not so disclaim my holy faith." All expostulations were useless. The Christian mother was firm. In truth she held on to the hand of God; she sent her heart walking before her in the thorny road of sorrow, and moment by moment her faith grew stronger. The Sabbath was not turned to busi ness—the grave was not the scene of idle cries and despairing shrieks. And though there was a .change in that household, yet the smile of the Christian was still Berene. Sunshine was not kept put because an angel had left there; voices were not hushed to whispers.; pleasant tasks'still went on. Gradually the serenity of the .wife brightened the gloom of the father: His treasures'were not those coveted by earth; but now he could say, “ They arein "heaven, where nothing corrupts, grows old or dies!’’ So they two walked quietly out of their grief to a brighter faith, a higher hap piness; for they both feel though be reaved for a Season, they are not child less. LABOES AMONG THE FEEEDMEN. Eev. I. P. Warren, writing to the Tract Journal , makes the following ob servations upon the work in Alexan dria: The blacks, as is well known, are characteristically .a. religious people. •Many of them, we can not doubt, are .truly converted persons. Wo were interested in a conversation with ..one, venerable wothan; 'reputed to? be’ One; hundred and ten years of age! Her name is Sicily Armstead; her mental faculties are but little impaired by'age. Her whole conversation and ’'demeanor marked her as a child of God, who had long maintained intimate communion with her Saviour. She spoke iri a very grateful spirit of the change which had been wrought in the, condition of her people, ascribing all to God who had risen in his might for the overthrow of the oppressor. Neatly attired, and at tended by assiduous friends, she sits in her rocking-chair, welcoming her nu merous visitors and dropping quaint yet suggestive remarks upon passing events, and words of thankfulness to Him who is doing so, much for her race. Sometimes she will gratify her visitors with singing a stanza, in which she seems to take much delight:— “ Massa Jesus took my feet Outot da mira and „ And now he’s put me ifi de rocking-chair To sing his glory all de day.’’ Many of the utterances of these un educated people, in their devotional exercises, are exceedingly interesting. Wo fioticed the two following whch are not unworthy of record: “ Lord-Jesus, will you please to draw aside the curtain, and take a peep over de jasper walla of h'eaben, and look down into desepoor hearts of ours?" “ O Massa Jesus, we’s jest like little birds, sittiti’ on de edge of deir nests wid deir mouths open; now, jes gib us wbali you will.” ' 11 ’ ‘ ‘Besides^their owu : houses,.the freed iinen of Alexandria have built during the year a cjjinrph edifice, twenty-four by thirty-six Te'ef 1 which .they are now enlarging’to fifty-six feet .in lebgth.

HE COULDN'T STANDJT. Ait the annual meeting of the Lon-- don Bey, Canon Champ*, neys.said: “ I remember once a very valued friend of mine, a barrister, now passed away, who spent bis Sundays in visit ing a hospital. Ho told me that on one 'occasion he sat down by the. bedside of one of the yery pO'ofetitj the most ;ign,o rant,! and without being ■ the word in any offenßivemanher, one of the very lowest men he fead ever. seen jn his life! —a man "W&M6 Btiglish,’had it been taken do wn would bate been the most cdmplete and perfect dislocation of the Queen's English that he ever heard. NO word seemed tobeinlts right place. It seemed: as if that which should- have been a'jdintecl and vertebrated sentence ha’d been separated at every joint, and together anyhow. My friend was a man of the most tender spirit— a man whose tender spirit radiated from one of the most striking faces I ever saw; and I can well understand how he looked when he sat down by that poor man’s bed; He began first, as all should who visit the sick; to break ground on temporal matters, to sympa thize with them on that, which they can understand so well—their bodily sufferings—to show that we are rot in differont to what they are suffering as •men ; and then 'after speaking a few kind words, he was proceeding to say •something farther for his Muster, whom he so dearlyL oyed, when he saw the man’s face begin to work convulsively. The muscles quivered, and at last, lift'-' j n g up the sheet hnddrawiiig down bis head; lie threw the sheet over his face, burst info a violent flood of tears, and PHn.ADKT.PHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1864. sobbed aloud. My friend wisely waited till this storm of grief was passed, and then the poor fellow emerged from un der the clothes, his face bearing the traces of the tears that had flowed down it. When able to speak, my friend asked him: “ ‘What is it that so touched you? I hope that I have not said anything that was painful to you. What can have moved you so muoh V “ And as well as the man could sob out, he sobbed out these words': “ 1 Sir, you are the first man that ever spoke a kind word to me since I was born, and I can’t stand it.’ ” I heard a preacher take for his text: “Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day ? Was I ever wont to do this unto thee ?” I wondered what he would "make thereof, fearing he would starve his auditors for want of matter. But hence he observed: 1. The silliest and simplest, being wronged, may justly speak in its own defence. 2. Worst men have a good title to their own goods. Balaam a sorcerer; yet the ass confessed twice that he was his. 3. They who have done many good offices, and fail in one, are often not only unrewarded for former service, but punished for that one offence. 4. When the creatures, formerly offi cious to serve us, start from their wont ed obedience, (as the earth to become barren, and air pestilential,) man ought to reflect on his own Bin as the sole cause thereof. How fruitful are the seeming barren places of Scripture! Bad ploughmen which make balks of such ground. Wheresoever the surface of God’s Word doth not langh and sing with corn, there the-heart thereof within is-merry with wines, affording, where not plain matter, hidden mysteries. —■ Thomas Ful ler. “On the Thames a city stands, Crowded, rich and gay- Almoner:of many lands-r- The’Centuries’ highway!
