HETTY MAEVDT "When the British and lories attacked New London, Connecticut, in 17—, and set a price on the head of Gov. Griswold, the latter fled to the town of L , where his cousin, Mrs. Marvin, hid him, for some days, in a secluded farm house. But at length the subtle foe discovered his retreat, and one sunny afternoon in May, he was routed from his hiding place by the tidings that a band of horsemen were approaching to capture him. His only chance of escape was to reach the mouth of a little creek which emptied itself into the Connecticut river, just above the entrance of the latter into Long Island Sound. There he had a boat stationed, with two faithful attendants hidden be neath the high banks Of the creek. The distance from the farm-house to the boat was two miles by the usual travelled road. But a little sheep-path across the farmer’s orchards would bring him to the road only a mile from the boat, and save a quarter’s length of his fearful run for his life. Just where the harrow path from the/ orchard opened into the road, Hetty Mar vin sat with her dog Towser. Thus sat Hetty Marvin, the young daughter of Gov. Griswold’s cousin, when her hputed friend sprang past her into the road, to escape his pursuers. Hetty was a timed child of about twelve years: yet thoughtful and wise beyond many of her elders. Shewasfrightened by the head long haste with -which the Governor rush ed across ithe meadow- But she quickly comprehended the scene, and instantly qui eted her faithful Towser,' who, though a friend of the family guest, thought it be coming to bark loudly at his hurried steps, i Her wise forethought arrested the Gov ernor’s notice and suggested a scheme to delude his pursurers. “ Hetty,” he said, earnestly, “lam flying for my life, and unless I can reach my boaf before I am overtaken, lam a lost man. You see the road forks here. Now I want you to run down this way to the river. But you must tell the rascals who are chasing me that I have gone up the road to catch the mail wagon, which will soon be along you know. Then they will turn off the other way.” “ Oh, cousin,” said the little girl, in an agony of distress, “ I canhot tell a lie; in deed, I cannot. Why did you tell me which way you were going 1” “ Hetty, my child, surely you wouldnot betray me to death. Hark! theyarecom ing ; I hear the click of their horses’ feet. Oh! Hetty, tell them I have gone up the road instead of down; and heaven will bless you.” “Heaven never blesses those who speak falsely, cousin. But I will not tell them which way you go,' even if they kill me ; so run quickly as possible.” “ It’s no use; unless 1 can deceive them, lam a dead man.” , ■ “ Cousin, cousin, hide under my web of cloth; they’d never think of lookiiS| here for you. Come, get down as swift as you can, and I’ll cover you, and stand sprink ling my linen.” «If B my only chance, child; I*ll get down as you say.” And suiting the ac tion to the word, the Governor was soon hidden under the ample folds of the cloth. Angry that their expected prey had es caped from the house where they hoped to secure hitai, the Six mounted tones, headed by a British officer, dashed along the road in swift pursuit. At sight of the little girl in the meadow, tV.e leader of the pqy ty paused. “ Child,” he said sternly, “ have you seen a man running away hereabouts 1 !” -■ “ Yes, sir,” replied Hetty, trembling and blushing. . “ Which Way did he go?” “ I promised not to tell, sir.” “Butyou must or take the cbnsequen- CCS * * “ I said I wouldn’t tell if you killed me,” sobbed the frightened girl. “ I’ll have it oufof her,’* exclaimed the furious officer, with an oath. “ Let me spfeak to her,” said his tory guide; “L know the child, I beheve.—- Isn’t your name Hetty Marvin ?” heaaked pleasantly. “Yes, sir.” : “ And this man who ran by you a tew ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1862. minutes ago was your mother's cousin, wasn’t he?” “ Yes, sir;; he was.” “Well w© are friends of his. What did he say to you when he came along 1” “He—he told me—that he was flying for fais life,” : “Just so, Hefty ; that was very true. I hope lie won’t hive to fly far. Where was he going to try to hide 1 You see I could help him if I knew his plans.” Now Hetty was not a whit deceived by this smooth speech ; so she answered her questioner candidly: My cousin said that he was going down this way to the river, where he had a boat: and he wanted me to tell -the men. that were charing him, I that he had gone the other way to catch the mail wagon. “Why didn’t you do as he bid you, then, when I asked where he had gone ?” thundered the officer, fiercely. “I could not:tell a lie, sir,” was the tearful answer. “Hetty,1 ’ again began the smooth tongued tory, “you are a nice child. Ev erybody know# you are a girl of truth. What did your cousin say when you told him you cduldln’t tell a falsehood V' “He said he shouldn’t think I’d betray him to his death.” „ “And then you promised him that you wouldn’t tell which way he went, if you was killed for jit?” “Yes, sir.” ; “That was a brave speech ; and so, I suppose, he thanked you for it, and ran down the road as quickly as possible ?” “I promised not to tell where he went, sir.” “Oh! yes, I forgot. Well, tell us his lost words; and we won’t trouble you any more.” ' “His last words were, ‘lt’s my only' chance, child, and I’ll get down as you say.’ ” And overcame by the fright, and the sense of her kinsman’s danger should they rightfully interpret the language which she had reported, she sobbed aloud, and hid her face from sight. Her tormentors did not stay any longer to soothe or question her. They had got as they supposed, the information which they wanted and pushed rapidly on down to the'river. Now, the Governor, had ar ranged a signal with his boatmen, that a white cloth by day, or a light in the night displayed-from the attic window of his hiding-place, which was just visible at the mouth of the Creek, should inform them if he were in trouble, and put them upon the alert to help him. As soon, there fore, as he started for his cousin’s the sig nal floated from the window to warn them. And when they saw the pursuing party dash madly down toward the river, and recognized the British uniform of the leader, they pulled swiftly out to sea. The horse men reached the shore only in season to see; the boat, with two men in it, nearly but of sight, and supposing their destined prey had escaped, relinquished the pursuit. I Meanwhile, the hunted vic tim lay safr and quiet where his little cousin had hidden him, until the tune came for her return to the house for sup per. Then he bade her go as usual to her home, telling her to ask her mother to place the signal lamp, as soon as it grew dark, in the window for the boat men, and to send him there some sup per, with his valise, which, in the hur >ry of departure, he had left behind. The signal recalled the boat, which af ter twilight hid ventured in sight of the shore and the farm-house; and the Gov ernor quietly made his way to the river in safety. When he rejoined his father in a secure home; he named his infant daughter, Which had been bom in his ab sence, “Heitty Marvin,” that he might be daily reminded of the little cousin who had saved 'his life.— Student and School mate. : A Hurt, —“ Dear mother,” said a deli' cate little girl, “ I have broken your Chi na vase.’* 1 I “Well, you are a naughty, careless, troublesome little thing, always in mischief; go up stairs until I send for you." And this was a Christian mother’s an swer to the tearful little culprit, who' had struggled with and conquered temptation to tell a fasehood to screen a fault. With disappointed, disheartened looks, the child obeyed;; and at that moment was crushed in her little heart the sweet flower of truth, perhaps never again in after years to be re vived to life. Oh, what were a thousand vases in comparison ? The Grave. —It buries every error, covert every defect, extinguishes every re sentment. From its peaceful bosom spring none but! tender recollections.

A pious soldier mortally wounded in | one of the great battles of the Peninsula war, was carried by two or three attached comrades to the rear of the scene of action.. They laid him down under a tree, unwill ing to leave him in such a condition of agony and peril, lingered beside him to see if there was no act of kindness which they could do. His speech seemed much affec ted ; so that be was unable to answer in telligibly to their inquiries, but he made them understand by signs that he would not wish them to remain with him to the neglect of their poet of duty in the battle. Reluctantly they left him and returned.— A little while after, an officer who had been hastily summoned from a distance to join the action rode past. He pulled up on seeing a fellow countrymen alone and bleeding to death, and asked if there was any thing he could do for him. The sol dier murmured something in the negative, and motioned to him also to go forward. u My poor fellow,” said the officer kindly, “ If you are so far gone as to be beyond the reach of help yourself, perhaps 1 could do something for your friends at home; is there no message I could carry for you to your wife and children ?” At the mention of his family a flash of consciousness seemed to return to tbedying man. He said distinctly: “Yes; knap sack —book.” The officer dismounted and opened the 1 knapsack beside him. He searched for a book in it, and soon drew out a Bible.— ’ The soldier continued: “Bead John xiv. 27.” The hand which held it was little ac customed to turn over the sacred pages, and slowly, and not without difficulty, the verse was found and read. A radiant and heavenly smile lighted up the poor \man’s features as he listened. “There There!” he exclaimed, in thrilling and triumphant tones, “is all I want. I have peace. I am going home; my Savior is waiting to receive me." The officer gazed on him a moment in | speechless astonishment, and then remem bering that he ought to have been at his post before now, threw the Bible into the knapsack, sprang into his saddle and was gone. Within an hour afterward that same officer was carried by his men on a rude litter, out of the field of battle. He too, was mortally wounded, and had not spoken until they approached the tree where the lifeless remains of the soldier were now stretched on the field. The spot too viv idly recalled the circumstances which had taken place there so short time before. Passing his hand over his forehead, he was heard to say, in tones of heartfelt angmsh: “I have no Bible. I have no peace, there is no Savior waiting to receive me. v Both these men were exposed to the 1 power of the sword; both as to their mor tal life fell victims to it; yet the heir of the promise, in the hour of his lonely death, I experienced the “I will” of deliverance his soid was redeemed from the power of his sword. —The Saying* of the King. THE DYING SOLDIER, Wedding Ceremonies on the Alps.* There are still many of the old customs re maining, of which one of the most peculiar is the wedding, which has some of the feat ures of those in the Northern part of Ger many. An orator is bearer of invitations, who is often the village schoolmaster. He makes a formal speech before every house, which all the people run to hear. On the morning of the wedding he accompanies the bridegroom and the groomsman to the house of the bride, where they breakfast together; after which he makes a speech to the father and mother, recounting to them all the noble qualities of the bride groom, and beseeching them to give their daughter willingly away, as he is sure a longlife of happiness is in store for her.—- A rival orator then “ takes the word,” and presents the dark side of the picture, all the difficulties of the new position, and the virtues of the brides After this parliamen tary discussion the bride departs with her betrothed for church amidst the prayers and tears and good wishes; and to keep up her spirits musicians cheer her way with song. —The Cotages of this Alps- A Bbave Hcsbajto. —A bear attacked a farmer’s cabin one night, when the far mer got up into the loft, leaving his wife and children to take care of themselves.— The wife seized the pok#and aimed a hap py blow at Bruin. “ Give it to him,” cried the valianthns band. After Bruin was dead, he came down'from the loft and exclaimed, “ Nan cy, my dear, ain’t we brave?” ANECDOTE OP COMMODORE POOTE. We find the following anecdote of Com. Foote in the Christian Advocate: mid Journal: “It is well known that whiskey forms part of the rations supplied to men in the any, the wisdom of which may well be called into question. A saving clause allows each sailor to commute his whutey ration, for money. Many do this, but by far the hugest number answer to jthe whiskey roll, and with evident satisfac tion, gulp down all the law allows* : At the commencement of a cruise, Com. Foote called the chaplain to his state room, and told him that he desired to formA temperance society on board j the vessel. The chaplain thought the object a good one, but the success of the experi ment he-very much doubted. His doubts were touch greater when the Commodore told him he intended to make old Brown president, if agreeable to the others.; Now old Brown had for many years been a fol lower of the seas, and bad imbibed such quantities of bad liquor that bis j nose plainly told of the excuse of bis drinking; and in answer to the chaplain’s doubts about securing the concurrence of old Brown, the Commodore replied: Never mind ; I have already spoken to Tiro wn on the subject, and he enters heartily into our scheme, and consents to be president of our society.” “The meeting was called aid tire soci ety was formed; and so persevering were the effects of this noble officer, and those whom he inspired with the good work, that every officer and man on: board of that vessel signed the pledge of total ab stinence, and the first port that the good and now safe bark touched, all the ‘tJ. S.’ stores of whiskey were stored on; account of the Government. The cruise wais fin ished without one drop of whiskey ra tions ; and no doubt the crew wiss much better able to perform their duty and to endure hardships than when thty daily imbibed that which calculated to destroy both body and soul. It may be .well asked what can one man do ? or rather what he cannot do when, with the spirit of love and charity to animate; him, he works with a will in his master’s cause 1” Bexotikuw-t Expeessed.—The follow ing extract from the response of Mr. Sew ard for the President, to the patriotic sen timents of the Presbyterian General As sembly, will be treasured among foe ele gant passages brought out by the perils of our country; “ For many years heretofore, one of the greatest subjects of fecilitatibn among good men will be the signal success of the Government of the United Statesin pre serving our Federal Union, which is the ark of civil and religions liberty ion this continent and throughout the world- All the events of our generation which pre ceded this attempt) at revolution, all that shall happen after it, will be deemed un important in consideration of that jone in dispensable and invaluable achievement The men of our generation whose memo ry will be the longest aud moat honored, will be they who thought the most ear nestly, prayed the most fervently! hoped the most confidently, fought the most he roically, and suffered the most patiently, in the sacred cause of freedom _ and hu manity. The record of the action of the Presbyterian Church, seems, to the Presi dent, worthy of its traditions and aspira tions, as an important branch of the church founded by the Saviour of men.” Thcth —Every word of it. ' Cut it out and learn it by heart. “We should make it a principal to extend the hand of fel lowship to every man who discharges faithfully his duties and maintains good Older— who manifests a deep in the welfare of general society—whose de portment is upright, and whose mind is Intelligent—without stopping to ascertain whether he swings a hammer! or draws a thread. There is nothing so disiiant from all natural claims as the reluctant, the backward sympathy, the force# smile, the checkered conversation the: hesitating oompUance, the well off are apt to mani fest to those a little lower down, with whom in comparison of intdleetiand prin ciples of virtue, they frequently pink into insignificance.” O* The husband of a buxom wife, near Exeter, England, had long been dying, and at length one of the clergymen of the par ish, making one of his daily visits, found kim dead. The disconsolate, widow, in giving an account of her spoufetfs last mo ment, told him her poor dear man kept groaning and groaning, but could not die. ‘‘At last,” said she, that I had got a new piece of tape in the drawer, and so I took some of that and tied it as tight as I could around bis and then I stopped his nose with my thumb and finger, and, poor dear I he went off like a lamb.” ” > .1 • • . flrTba object of ambitloi* should beto •be happy-at home.

Natobal HisKHti op Ohiumubi.— -A child hearing some one speak of the cells in a prison, asked, “ Are there any -bees . there ?” On being answered in the ' tive, inquired, “Then why does the poem of the little busy bee say ‘ hjhw skillfully she builds her cell?’”, tojfliher who was taken to see a large serpent or boa,, in- quired as he walked home, “MamM* when will hairs grow on the akin ofjy boa*?” “There will never be. anff Jjjjm on it ; then why do you ask sudt < djpls tiqn 1” “ Then why are there over the boa you wear around yo^jjpk I ?’* was the answer, showing how a wttffain of erroneous ideas had originatdtl ill the two different meaniqgt qfct£* word boa. — On another occasion at J|p» interrogator asked, “ How are lijwllWtW made Mamma—“ They are ik* made; they grow like hair.” “Oh neLttamma; pa pa said they were knit!” The child had heard the phrase, “ Knitting the brows.” One asked, “Where is the leg of the stairs 1” “The leg of the stairs 1 ? Ido not know what you moan.”. “ Why, pa pa, you said the foot of the' stairs, and I Want to know where the 1% is.” These is dfficnlty sometimes in penetrating the mind of the child, and laying hold of the erroneous idea that has got possession of it; and until this be done, the truth can not find admission.

I can run over in my memory more, than a dozen such, who are now, useful and honored men, both in church and state whom I aided, and en couraged in obtaining an education. They will dot some good in the world if I did not.” the tears ran down his cheeks as he thus spoke, and he tinned himself, on his bed and gently sunk into the anas of death.

A Bcixei Extractor.— Brigade Sur geon and* Medical Director, tJ. S A., J. E. Quidor, has invented aninstahtandons bullet extractor. It consists essentially of a metallic cylinder, doeed at one end; to the other of which is attached a bell shaped, India-rubber mouth-piece, or suck er. Within this cylinder is a tube con taining metallic mercury, with a valve at its lower extremity. To the upper ex tremity of the cylinder is attached an ex hauster or air-pump. In using the instru ment the month-piece is applied over the orifice of the wound, the tube prelecting a short distance within it, and the air ex hausted. If the ball is amply imbedfed in the soft structure, the expansion of the air beneath the ball, which is just in pro portion to the power of exhaustion above, expels it from the wound. Should the ball be imbedded in a bone or retained be neath the tendons, the valve is opened aSid - a column of mercury precipitated into the wound, which, by its specific gravity, added to the atmospheric pressure above, forces die ball from its position and floats it from the wound. + fg- “ Who can paint like natWrel” ex claimed a young lady, as she held a copy of Thompson’s seasons in one hand, while the other was clasped by. her enrajrtured lover. “Ah 1 what soul there is in that, passage! who indeed can paint like na ture?” “Yon canl” shouted herbrother, who had been peeping in at the window; « yon are painted like all nature-now.” ■ tap Poetry is said to be theilpww of literature; prose Lathe corn, potatoes and meat; satire is the aqpaftirtis; 'wit is the spice and pepper; love-letters the honey mid sugar; letters containing remittances are the apple dumplings.
