The man who stands upon his own soil,
who feels that by the law of the land in which
he lives—by the laws of civilized nations—
be is the rightful and exclusive owner of Abe
land which he tills, is, by the constitution of
out nature, under wholesome influence not
easily imbibed from any other source. Ile
feels—other things being equal—more strong
ly than another the character of a man as
lord of an animated world. Of this great
and wonderful sphere, which. fashioned' by
the hand of God, and upheld by his power,
is rolling through the heavens, a part is his
—his from centre to the sky. It is the space
on which the generation before moved in its
round of duties, and he feels himself con
nected by a visible link with those who fol
low him, and to whom he is to transmit a
home. Perhaps his farm has come down to
him from his fathers. They have gone to
their last home; but he can trace their foot
steps over the scenes of his daily labors. The
roof which shelters him was reared by those
to whom he owes his being. Some interest
ing domestic tradition is connected with every
inclosure.. The favorite fruit tree was plan
ted by his father's hand. lle sported in boy
hood beside the brook which winds through
the meadow. Through the field lies the path
to the village school of earlier day's. He still
hears from the window the voice of the Sab
bath bell which called his father to the house
of God ; and near at hand is the spot where
his parents laid down to rest ; and when his
time has come,•he shall be laid down by his
children. These are the feelings of the own
ers of the soil. :Words cannot paint them—
gold cannot buy them ; they flow out of the
deepest fountains of the heart ; they are the
life springs of a fresh, healthy and generous
national character.—Everett.

Existence, mere existence is not life.—
Knowledge is not life. Love is life; and he
whose heart is pervaded and enriched by true
love, is born of God, and partakes of his eter
nal life. Justice calls upon us to render un
to all men their dues, and to sustain and pro
vide fur such as are made dependent upon
us. The law of charity binds the strong to
help the weak, the rich to Befriend and up
lift the poor, the wise to instruct the ignorant
and those that are out of the way; and those
who have the truth to spread abroad the good
news, and gladden other souls by its mes
sages of peace and good will. Charity can
not be idle or passive, setting down, and wish
ing others well, but doing nothing for their
delight or peace. It works, and is never sat
isfied except as it goes out of itself, and ex
presses itself in generous and, noble deeds.

We human creatures are not here on this
fair earth as if we had been born in different
globes, and had chanced to meet, as ships
sometimes cross each other's track upon the
boundless sea. We have one origin, one pa
rentage, and one home. In this journey we
are making, common duties are resting upon
us ; we must meet with common trials ;
common destiny awaits us, and we %rebound
not simply to abstain from discord and strife,
from fraud, from violence, and from crime,
but to aid each other in our work, to do each
other good, and to make the world happier
and Letter for our living in it. Our neigh
bors, our fellow men about us are our breth
ren. Towards them we must not indulge in
pride, in anger or contempt. We must not
promote our interests at the sacrifice of theirs.
If a deed will disadvantage or injure them,
charity forbids the act, and directs us to
lighten their burdens, not to increase them,
to. relieve their woes, and not to quadruple
them. This is the work which it urges on
us, and it allows us to engage in no business,
no occupation or pursuit that will not bless
the world in which it is done.

Charity forbids us to live, for self, or merely
personal ends. We are not to fence ourselves
about, build walls heaven high around us,
determined that we kill enjoy our pleasures,
or that we will rejoice in the society of a
particular class or clan, and let everybody
on the outside take care of themselves. This
spirit of independence, as we dignify it, is of
ten simply devilish, and will utterly blast or
petrify the heart in which it finds a home.—
Did the Redeemer come here among us to sit
on the edge of the world, and have nothing
to do with the creatures dwelling upon it, but
merely stand aloof from their society, to
keep them at an arm's length, and have
nothing to do with their human troubles and
griefs ? Was that Christ's idea of life ? Or
is it ours?
I
Try the experiment and mark the result.
Let any man get away from his fellow-crea
tures, and try to live in his own world,- or
home, regardless of the rights, or feelings,
or comfort of-those whom God has sent to oc
cupy and work in this human hive with him
self, and just as plants wither and die, with
out sunlight and air, so will his affections
droop and die. within him, and his once . hu
mane heart, full of the tenderest sympathies,
will gradually he transformed into a heart of
stone. Live for others, if you would know
the value and grandeur of human life.. "God
is love," and only as we love do we enter
into the spiritual kingdom, or the joy of our
Lord. IL R. N.

How painful must be the reflection of a
young . man, who has enjoyed the privileges
of society, moral instruction and faithful ad
vice, falling into the path of abomination,
and at last to find himself arrested in his
wicked career by the arm of justice, and about
to receive the penalty of the law for his
crimes, while comparing the past advantages
with the present circumstances. Indeed, he
may well say, "Have I come to,this ?"
This is not an imaginary case.. It so hap
pened that the writer of this was present
when several convicts arrived at one of our
State Penitentiaries. Among the number
was a young man, about the age of twenty
four years, of good appearance and well dres
sed. .
On going into the prison he involuntarily
exclaimed—" Have I come to this ?"
Alas ! too late to avoid the punishment
justly due him for his crimes. What instruc
tion such a scene and such language are cal
culated to afford youth. It should teach
them to. obey the first commandment with a
promise to avoid vain company ; and in a
word, to remember the Creator in the days
of their youth. And to a parent who pos
sesses a deep interest in the welfare of a son
just entering upon the scenes of active life,
who knows the evil propensities of the heart,
and the exposedness of youth to the snares of
the world, a scene like this must occasion a
degree of anxious solicitude, lest on some fu
ture day he should have occasion to hear from
that son the melancholy reflection—" nave I
come to this?"

never look "spruce" in old age.

WOII.T.A.N'S LOVE.
When all the world grows strange,
Still shall her arms enfold thee;
When smiling fortunes change,
Still shall her words uphold thee
When all thy hopes shall fail,
And leave thee nought but care;
And when thy cheek grows pale,
Or wasted with despair;—
When desolation 'meets thee
Without an arm to save;
When Death himself shall greet thee,
A victim for the grave;—
Then woman shall caress thee
With all an angel's care;
Then shall she softly bless thee
With more than angel's prayer

"Shall I See You There."
While pursuing my professional studies in
Connecticut, it was my privilege to engage
as a teacher in the Sabbath school. We met
in a large shell of a church ; it was certainly
the most awkward place to worship the Lord
in, I ever saw, especially for a people abun
dantly able to build a better house; and there
were great square pews—pens we used, in
our rudeness, to call them—Cr the boys to
play in ; and they were up so high, nobody
could see them but the minister ; and he was
up so high, as to be cut off from all sympathy
with the people, and had something else to
do besides looking after the naughty boys.—
But, fortunately, near the top of these pews,
and just about up to the faces of the little
boys and girls, there were openings ; and as
my class was gathered in a wing pew by the
side of the pulpit, it was very pleasant for me,
when my exercises were over ; and I don't
know but it was allowable then, in my youn
ger days, to let my eyes run down through
the long, broad isle and see those jewels, the
eyes of the little boys and girls, all glisten
ing through the openings.
There was one class in the school that ex
cited a good deal of attention. It was a class
of twelve little girls, all nearly the same age
—about seven or eight. Their teacher hap
pily adapted all she said. or did to their minds.
She would take a stool, and sit down in the
centre of the pew. And here we see one ad
vantage of the old-fashioned pew—she could
have her scholars all around her; her head
would come up just about to the heads of the
little girls. She believed in being on a level
with her scholars in every way she could -,
and there she would sit and look at them, and
they would sit and look at her; she would sit
and talk to them, and they would sit and lis
ten to her ; she would sit and smile on them,
and they would sit and smile on her—eye
answering to eye, and heart beating with
heart.
One Sabbath there was more than usual
interest. Afterwards I learned the reason.
It seems that one of their number, whose
name was 'Helen, expected to leave town the
neat morning with her parents, for Illinois
—what was then the Far West—and the teach
er
seized upon this circumstance to illustrate
some religious truth. She talked to her class,
I presume, about parting and meeting in n
better world. There was a silence fur a mo
ment ; when Helen, as if she had a mission to
fulfil, fixed her black eye upon her teacher,
and with deep emotion and flowing tears,
said "My dear teacher, if Igo away, and
am agood girl, when I come to die, and go
to heaven, shall I see you there ?" 0, what
a question from a. Sabbath school scholar to
her teacher ! " Shall I meet you in heaven ?"
The next morning she left ; and the first
intelligence they had from her, a few months
after, was, that "little Helen" had taken sick
and had died. In her last sickness she spoke
sweetly of the Sabbath school, of her class
mates, of her teacher, and more sweetly of
Jesus, and fell asleep in the Savior's arms.—
The teacher is still laboring in the service of
her Master. Ere long her time will come ;
she will go home; and then, I trust, that
question will be practically answered—teach
er and scholar will meet in heaven.
My fellow-laborers, shall we not strive more
earnestly to prepare the dear children and
youth to meet us in heaven ? My dear chil
dren, will you not try harder than you ever
have done to meet your teachers, your pastor,
your parents in heaven ? Shall we not all
be more earnest to meet in that great Sabbath
school above, with Jesus for our teacher, and
we happy learners for ever l--Tract Journal.
The Memphis Appeal publishes the follow
ing:very romantic story, and assures its read
ers that the occurreuce related is strictly
true:
"A friend of ours, who does business on
Main street, in this city, was traveling a few
weeks ago in Arkansas, some 50 or GO miles
below Memphis. As night came on, at the
conclusion of a long day's travel, he arrived
at a solitary house, where it appeared the
residents within were already preparing to
retire to rest. He knocked at the door, a head
was protruded from a window, and in reply
to a question from the owner of the head, he
said he wished to stay for the night. The
head was withdrawn, and a consultation ap
parently took place with some one within,
and after a little delay the head was again
advanced, and our friend was asked his name.
We will not give the name stated—that of
"Fulkorson," will answer the same purpose.
"Fulkerson," repeated the man with the head
out of the window, as if surprised and not
agreeably so. "Yes, John Fulkerson," was
the reply, in a tone that had an expression of
impatience about it; for the traveler was
hungry as well as tired, and not being a
priest, fasting never smoothed his temper.
"Head was again withdrawn at this an
nouncement, as rapidly as an Irishman once
withdrew his, when he knelt and took a
drink out of one of the boiling springs of the
State in which the adventure we aro relating
took place. Some time now elapsed ; the
night was cold, and our hungry friend found
his quarters in front of the solitary house not
at all to his mind. At length he hammered
violently at the door several times, and utter
ed a series of ejaculations, more indicative of
a flexible tongue than of profound piety.—
He then took a look around the premises, to
ascertain, if possible, the reason of the un
accountable delay. He •discovered a man
stealing silently away in the rear, who jump
ed over the fence and set off in a run, that
spoke well for his agility, in the direction of
the timber. The front door was opened at
this moment, and a negro girl called him to
come in.
"On entering, ho could discover nothing
suspicious; a good supper was set before him
and he was attentively waited upon. lie
noticed, however, that the negro was very
curt in her replies to his questions, and that
when he asked anything about the inmates
of the place, she manifested an emotion that
looked like alarm. Ile retired to bed, too
greatly fatigued to reflect much upon the sin
gularity of this conduct ; he slept well, and
was at an early hour eating his breakfast,
A Widow in Trouble
when he observed a pair of eyes intently
gazing on him from a chink in the wall that
divided the room in which he sat from an ad
joining passage. Determined to know the
' meaning of the singular behaviour he had
observed in that place—for every individual
about it whom he accosted, answered him
' with trepidation in the fewest possible words,
and then hurried away from him, as if in
fear—lie rushed into the passage, and catch
ing hold of the man whose eyes had been so
busily engaged, he demanded the reason of
his singular scrutiny. The man appeared
overcome with agitation, and asked, in a voice
.the interrogator at once recognized as the
same lie had heard on the previous night, if
Mr. Fulkerson intended to stay? No ; Mr.
Fulkerson would go as soon as he had finish
ed his breakfast and paid his bill ; but he in
sisted on knowing why so much spying . and
whispering were going on ? "Why are you
not Mr. Fulkerson that owns this house ?"
asked the man. "No, I never saw the house
before," was the reply. In a moment a look
of intense satisfaction beamed from the man's
face, which had before worn a troubled ex
pression, and without another word he rushed
up stairs, three or four steps at a time, and
quickly returned, bringing with him a portly
looking dame, whose eyes were red, as if
with weeping, and exclaimed, in a tone of
joyous surprise, as soon as she caught sight '
of our bewildered friend who could not, for
the life of him, guess what had bewildered
the folks—"ls it not John ?"
"An explanation then ensued, from which
it appeared that the house in which our friend
had spent the night, had formerly been the
property of a man of the same name as him
self. This man had been absent some years.
As nothing had been heard from him during
all that time, his better half, the lady who
was so much pleased that he was not "John,"
had resolved to take another husband, and
the knot was to be tied that very evening.—
On the previous evening, her intended second
husband was paying his attentions as a lover,
when the announcement of the name of John
Fulkerson from our friend, in a moment
spread dismay and consternation where all
had been joy and anticipation. The lover
stole off the back way to be beyond the reach
of danger ; the lady had spent the night in
weeping. Once she had mourned her hus
band's absence, now grieved over his return.
The quietness of the unexpected and unwel
come guest had, however, somewhat re-as
snred the distressed couple; the lover had
cautiously returned to the house,. and was
making his observations, when our friend
unceremoniously seized him. The tidings
were quickly spread, and laughter and mirth
soon filled the dwelling that had been doleful
with disappointment and sorrow. The trav
eler was heartily invited to stop and partake
of the wedding supper ; his business called
him away, however, but he has since learned
that the marriage took place without any
outward interruption. If the real John Fut
kerson, of Arkansas, should be alive and see
this, let him take warning, and never ap
proach the house lie has deserted; for he is
most emphatically not wanted."

The elder Judge Burnside presided in one
of the Courts of Pennsylvania when the mem
orable case of Parsons vs. Parsons was on
trial. James Petriken, Esq., was one of the
counsel, assisted by James T. Hale, Esq.--
Hale was speaking, and having made a strong
point, which the court challenged, he said
that he could sustain it by citations of cases
from books, but he had left them at his of
fice, close by.
" Why did you not bring your books here?"
asked the Judge.
"Because I considered the point so plain
as not to need the support of other cases ; but
I will step over and get the books."
As Mr. Hale left the court room the Judge,
in a pet, said : "That reminds me of a car
penter who came to work for me, and left all
his tools at home. The court has forgotten
more law than that young man knows."
"That," said Mr. Petriken, "is just what
we complain of—that your _Honor ha-9 forgot
ten too much?"
The case of Parsons vs. Parsons was brought
by one brother against another, fu r the pur
pose of breaking their father's will, which
cut off Abraham, the older brother, without
a cent, giving all the property to Samuel, the
younger. This Samuel was a stout, broad
shouldered Pennsylvania farmer, well 7 dressed
portly, showing himself to be. somebody;
while Abraham was a lank, lean, ill-favored
man, with thin and thread-bare clothes in bad
weather. Mr. Petriken, counsel for poor
Abraham, asked n witness, "what is the rel
ative wealth of the two brothers 2"
The opposing lawyer jumped up and objec
ted to the question. "It was of no consequence
who was the richer or who was the poorer ;
it was a question of law." •

out to his client,
said, " Abraham, stand up by the 'side of
Samuel."
Abraham planted his thin figure, in shab
by clothes, by the side of the corpulent, well
dressed brother,' and Petriken cried out to
the jury, "Nolo compare the parties." The
effect was instantaneous and complete, and
far better for Abraham than any evidence of
witnesses as to the amount of his property.
The jury gave him a verdict; and, law or no
law, he got half of his father's property.—

Novel Method for Clearing a House of
A chemical friend of ours, has recently de
tailed to us the following account of a novel,
amusing, and at the same time effectual, plan
adopted by him for freeing his house frotil
these most unwelcome visitors—the rats.—
The house he occupied in Boston, was one of
a block, and when first tenanted was ear:dim:lr;
atively free from the intruders in ipiestion.- -
After a time, however, for some unknown rea
son, they appeared at once in great numbers':
They occupied every room and closet, =ran
ded in the cellar, gallopaded in the garret,
and danced jigs nightly over every sleeping
apartment, or rolled nuts for their amusement
ala ten pins. Every expedient thought of,
was adopted for lessening their numbers, but
without effect. Traps availed nothing—the
rats were old and wise—poison had no temp
tations, eats were defied. At last our friend •
bethought himself of summoning the powers'
of chemistry to his aid, which he did as fol
lows :—Raising a, small board in the garret
floor, he opened a communication between
the floor and ceiling beneath, which interior
communicated with the spaces between the
side walis and the laths and plaster over the
whole house. Into this opening he placed a
dish containing finely pulverised black oxide
of manganese, and poured over it a suitable
quantity of strong hydrochloric (muriatic)
acid. The floor-board was then replaced.—
The effect of the chemical mixture of black
oxide of manganese and hydrochloric acid is
to disengage slowly in the cold that most pow
erful, deodorizing, fumigating gas, chlorine.
In common with all gasses, it gradually dif
fuses through the air, but having a greater"
weight than atmospheric air it accumulates
at the lowest levels. The tendency of gas
liberated, therefore, was to penetrate every
vacant space between the walls and the ceil
ings, and at last found exit in the cellar.
It may be here stated that the quantity of
gas so liberated can exert no injurious effect'
upon the house or its inmates—indeed the'
result is rather beneficial than otherwise upon
the general health. In the ease in question,
the odor was not noticed to any extent in the
body of the house, but after a while was very.
perceptible in the cellars. In a concentrated
Condition, chlorine, it is well known, is most
offensive, irrespirable and destructive of ani
mal life. It, at the same time, neutralizes'
and destroys all other otters and infectuous
matters.
To return, however, to the rats. The cheiaL
ical arrangement described had not been long
in operation, when it became evident that
something unusual was occurring in ratdom:
Meetings were apparently being held in hot
baste, and messengers were dispatched to
and fro. " All night long, it would seem,"
says the narrator, "as if Bedlam had broken
loose between the partitions ()ferny house.—
The inhabitants were not only decamping,
but were carrying their plunder and house
hold goods along with them." Towards
morning, however, all had become quiet—the
rats had vamosed, big and little, and for a'
period of nearly three months not one was
heard or seen on the premises. Now they
are gradually returning, but as soon as they
become troublesome, another invitation to
leave will be extended.—Farm Journal.
How They Behead People in China.
The criminals were brought in gangs, if
they were able to walk, or if they could not
walk, in chairs and in baskets, the latter of
a kind in which hogs are usually carried,•
the basket being attached to two poles and
thus carried on the shoulders of two men.—
When the culprits reached the execution'
ground they were tumbled out of their chairs
and baskets down upon the pavement with as
little care and sympathy as though they had
been loads of pumpkins or potatoes. The'
executioners then arranged them in rows,'
three, usually, when there was a large num- -
ber to be despatched, as my friend informed.-
me, one executioner taking his place at - the'
head of each row, and giving each victim
blow on the back side of the headlo 'push
it forward, and lay it convenient for the
sword, as all knelt and awaited the 'fatal mo
ment.
When all things were thus arranged the'
death warrant came ; it was a banner, and as
soon as it waved iu sight, without any verbal
order being given, the headsmen began their
work of death. There was a rapid succes
sion of dull, crunching sounds—chop, chop,
chop, and down dropped the heads, while the'
bodies fell forward, and streams of blood`
were shot into the air like jets of water from'
a fire engine. The friend who was my guide,
as we stood on the very pavement by. the wall .
on one side of the street where th'ese rows on
victims were drawn up, told.' the he had been
obliged, as others had. also been, to step back
of these wretched kneeling-men where the ,
work commenced, lest the blood,' if theywere '
in front, should stream across the street and
fall upon them. No second• blow was ever •
given, for these dexterous men are slayers
educated for their work ; for until they are'
able, with their heavy swords, which are in
part butcher's clevers as well as swords, to'
slice a great bulbous vegetable as thin as we'
slice cucumbers, they are not elegible to this
office.
Three seconds are sufficient for each head. ,
In one minute five executioners clear off ono'
hundred heads. It took rather longer for the
assistants to pick up the heads and bodies
and pack them up in rough coffins, prepara
tory to - their being carried away into the
fields and hills, outside the walls for inter- -
ment. Nor were they at all careful that the'
old companionship of head and body should
be continued, but they often thrust ahead'
and body into a coffin which bad never met
before. As hundreds were sometimes exeeu- •
ted at a time, occasionally coming up to five'
hundred, while these scenes - were of constant
occurrence, the whole area sivam'in blood- -
if not "to the horses' bridles," yet almost•
over the shoes and up to, the ankles. The'
earth does nut contain so horrible an Acel
dama, so true a "Field of Blood,"—Hong.
