Tho gaoler being a relative of mine, I have gained access to thy cell to say to thee,—Pierre, those who arc about to die often regret not having by thoir sldo a friend to whom they can open their hearts, and intrust tho fulfilment of some holy duty. If thou will, lot mo ho that friend.” "Thanks, comrade,” answered Pierre. “ Hast thou nothing to confide to mo?” "Nothing.” "What! not an adieu for thy betrothed—for thy sister?”, “ A betrothed 7 A sister 7 I never had either,” ** For thy father ?" ‘ “Hoin no more.

But her 1 have loved as man never loved—with all my energy, with all my soul. Wl\en a child, I read In her oyrs the affection which mino< fondly reflected: I divined her thoughts, she know mine.

Therefore, when I was called upon la servo my eounlry, when 1 was told that I must leave my mother, 1 was seized with franlio despair, and declared that even wore violence resorted to, they should not taro mo alive from her side. With one word, tho holy and courogeous woman changed all my resolves.

With such a dear and delightful boiler, death is bereft of Us terrors) for death without obli vion Is but a calm sleep; it is the only reposa after long fatigues. " I longed to pco this flower spring up! I longed to pluck it* I started off. After lon days 1 long and painful march, I arrived at my mother's grave. Tho oorlh scorned tohavo hoqn recently tunica—no flower had sprung up. I wailed six weeks, when, at tho dawn of a beautiful day, a littlo flower of on oturc bluo expanded to my longing oyo*.

While she remained a** baby, 0 ho slept in the middle of the bed, between tho two, that she might have room, and not bo disturbed; and when she ceased to bo a baby, he silently made now ar rangements. He denied himself a hat, which he much wanted, in order to buy a considerable quan ' lily of coarse dark calico, which, with his own . hands, ho raudo into a curtain, and slung it up across a part of'the room } thus shutting off about , a third bf it. Here ho contrived to make up a lit tle bed for his sister, and ho was not satisfied till : she had a basin and Jug, and a piece of soap of her own. Hero nobody but himself was to in trude upon her without leave; and, indeed, he al ways made heir understand that ho came to take care of he*, •ft was notonly that Willy was not to see her undressed. A neighbor or two now and then lifted the iaten without knocking. One of one day hoard something from behind the curtain, whlclfmado her call her husband silently to listen ;.and they always afterwards treated Joel as if ho were a man, and one whom they looked up to. .

One- reward that Joel had for his manage- 1 meat was.that she Was oarly fit to go to school. | This was great point, as ho choosing to send 1 ytlfy.regularly, could not till hocouW send the 1 little, girl' with him. She was never known to bo restless, am! Joel was quite proud of her. 1 Willy was not neglected for tiro little girl's Sake; In those days children went earlier lo the ( factory, and worked longer than they do and , by tho time the sister was five years old, Willy ; became a factory boy, and his pay put the little , girl to school. When she, at seven, wont to tho factory too, Joel’s life was altogether an easier one. He always had maintained them all, from tho-day of his mother’s death* Tho limes must have boen^bod—work constant, and wages steady —or ho could not have done ju- Now, when all three wore earning, ho put his-sister to a sewing school for two evenings in the week, and the Sat urday afternoons; and he and Willy attended an ; evening school, as they found they could afford it, : Ho always escorted the little girl wherever alio had to (got into tho factory and homo again—to : the school door and homo again—and to tho Sun- , day school; yet ho was hlmsclfremarkably punc- , lual at wo k and at worship.

Such a funeral as his is rarely seen. There is something that strikes on all hearts in the specta. do of a soldier’s funeral—the drum, the march of comrades,,and the boll ond cap laid on tho cof fin. But there was something moro solemn and more moving than such observances in tho funeral of this who had so bravely filled his place in the conflict of life.

Pliolim did start him and as tho log commenced its progress, the rope caught in a projecting knot, and began rapidly to wind up. It soon drew poor Jimmy chock up. First ho wont over the log, and then tho log wont over him, and so they continued their circumgyration and aomorsols.

Dr. Souddor, in company with his son, visited Conjeveram, 47 miles from Madras, This spot is considered by tho Hin. does a holy place, and an snnnal festival is bold there in honor of Vishnu, which brings together a largo number of idolatrous worshippers. Dr. Bcudder and his son determined to proceed thither and bear testi mony against the follies of (ho people* From (ho journal of tho son of Dr. Seuddcr, wo givo the follow ing account of the drawing of the Idol Car: _ “This is ono of tho great days of tho fosst, and is signalized by (ho drawing of tho car. Early in tho day wo wont out to witness the imposing spectacle. Tho bright sun that Jehovah made, Hooded shy and earth With effulgence. Woro it not an inanimate luminary, surely it would have veiled its face with midnight sorrow* as it gazed upon the scone that passed before roy eyes, flow shall wo describe it ?| A vast multitude, whoso heads were like tho waving ears of wheat upon an illimitable grain field, filled i up (ho broad avonuo along which tho hugo oar was i drawn. It was indeed a mighty structure, lowering above the lops of the palm trees. It wos gaudily ‘ docked with crimson trappings; and a glittering um brolla adorned, its pinnacle. Its massive wheels moved slowly and majestically through tiro sand.— Monstrous, misshapen forms, fjko dragons of a gianl size, grinned and leorod hideously on Its four sides, I and images of horses, in leaping attitude, wero pro jected from its front. On (ho fore part of (ho car, about half way up tho edifice, Brahmins stood and waving long and graceful door hair brushes to the crowd below, whilo men, packed on tho sides of (ho cat*, busied themselves in lotting down ropes with bags attached, and drawing up tho spoils which tho | people deposited In them. “Four cables of enormous size, such as no ship on tho ocean carries* stretched far away in front of tho Car, lying like anacondas on tho nocks and heads of tho half maddened throng, who grasping them, and j bearing upon them with their full strength, moved 1 (ho towering vehicle slowly along. Between tho rope | woro Brahmins, old and yodng, waving cloths and slicks hung with smalt while banners, cheering the multitude forward in their task. Now the throng would slop, weary with their labor; and now tho shout would riso up with a great rush of voices along tho cables, and onco more (hey would givo their shoulders to (ho toilsome work. I never saw snob a sight. Tho ocoan-liko crowd parted and mot around tho cat*, liko Waters around an island. The old, the middlo aged, tho yoUng were thoro.

One of (ho boys had on a great red flaming mask, made liko a boar's head; and tho other was dressed like an old man, with flowing board; Tho maimed and tho deformed crept along, asking alms.
