sault, had been given up by Worth to
sack, and his men were at it. Per
haps the Englishman thought his own
promises inside the Garita would be
entered, and w ished to propitiate- Bo
this as it may, there ho suddenly np
peared, in tho midst of Worth and his
staff, and he was usod ; whilo we
drank his beer, the ordnance oflicers
drank his information.

Worth.

sponded tho Englishman.
"You know the city then V was the
next question.
"Like a book," was tho answor.
"And which is tho best part of it
Where do- all tho rich people live V
was tho next question.
"Plight over that tall treo you see
there," said tho little Englishman,
skipping lightly ; all fat littio men aro
light on their bcof, and this one was
particularly so. And why is it that
nearly every fat littio man you meet,
if Englioh pnd niidJIo aged, wears a
blue coat t This fat little Englishman
had ono on.
'Plight over that tallest tree there?"
continued Worth, pointing towards it.
"Exactly," was tho rosponse from
the fut man, also pointing.
He did not imagine, poor fellow,
that immediately behind and unbe
known to him, the ordnance oflicers
were "making sight" over his pointing
fingers, and training their pieces ; the
object of Worth was to "pitch in"
round shot and shell into tho best part
of the city. Of course it took somo
little time to lay tho platforms for tho
mortars, and meantime tho littio fat
man was used. "And the Archbish
op," queried Worth, "where does ho
reside V
"Uight over that tallest houso,
there," continued the fat brewer, point
ing to the dwelling where tho Prus
sian minister then resided, while tho
ordnance oflicers were behind him
taking sight and aim. It was rich.
Wo all laughed heartily.
"And the National Talaco, tho
Grand Plaza, the Cathedral, tho Pla
teros?" continued Worth as noted
points in tho beautiful city came to
his mind.
"Beyond the Alameda, and right
under that star," answered tho Eng
lishman, pointing, H jger and Stone
behind him, "lining," as old bco hunt
ers term it. Hagner would also have
been on the lookout, only that ho was
bard of hearing. An excellent officer
was Hagner.
Meanwhile the platforms for the
two 10-inch mortars were laid, and
everything was ready to "open," when
all of a sudden it got through tho lit
tle fat man's skull that he had been
pumped.
"Hut you are to bombard tho cily,"
said he, skipping moro lively than
ever.

scioudy given Worth a thorough re
connoisance of theentiro city of Mexi
co from a stand poi.it near his brewery
at tho San Cosi.ia Garita, commenced
jumping and skipping about with tho
agility of a first class acrobat. I am
la'i::hing now as I tell tho story.
Two davs afterwards, walking leis
urely the Calio Tactiha towards the
Hospital do .an Aniires, i met the
sumo fat littio Englishman, with tho

knew him as though he had been raised

Ono of the most picturesquo myths
of ancient days is that which forms
tho subject of this article. It is thus
told by Jacquo do Voragiue, in his
"Legcnda A urea:"
''The seven sleepers were natives of
Ephesus. Tho Emperor Decius, who
persecuted the Christians, having como
to Ephesus, ordored tho erection of
temples in tho city, that all might
como and sacrifice before him; and ho
commanded that the Christians should
be sought out and given their choico,
either to worship the idols or die. So
great was tho consternation in the
city that tho friend denounced his
friend, tho father his son, and tho son
hid lii tlicr.
"Now there were in Ephesus seven
Christians, Alaximian, Jlalchus, Mar
cian, Hionysius, John, Sornpion, and
Constantino byname. These refused
to sacrifice to the idols, and remained
in their houses praying and fasting.
They were accused before Pccius, and
they confessed themselves to be Chris
tians. However, the Emporor gave
them a little timo to consider what
line they would adopt. They took
advantage of this reprieve to dispense
their f;oods among the poor, and they
then retired, ail seven, In Mount Ceii
on, where they determined to conceal
themselves.
"One of their number, Mn.'chnj, in
tho difguise of a physician, went to
the town to obtain victuals. Decius,
who had been absent from Ephesus
for a littio while, returned, nnd gave
orders for the seven to bo sought.
Jlalchua, having escaped from the
town, fled, full of lear, to his comrades,
and told them of tho Emperor's fury;
lliey were much alarmed ; and .Mai
chus banded them tho loaves ho ha
bought, bidding them eat, that, forti
fied by the food, they might have
courage in tho time of trial. They
ate, and then, as they sat weeping
and speaking to ono another, by the
will of God they fell asleep.
"The pagans sought everywhere,
but could not find them, and Decius
was greatly irritated at their escape.
Ho had their parents brought before
him, and threatened them with death
if they did not reveul the place of con
cealment; but they could only answer
that the seven young men had dis
tributed their goods to tho poor, and
that they were quite ignorant as to
their whereabouts.
"Decius, thinking it possible that
they might bo hiding in a cavcru,
blocked up tho mouth with stones,
that they might peribh of hunger.
"Threo hundred unit
passed, and in the thirtieth year of
the reign of Theodosius thcro broke
forth a heresy denying tho resurrec
tion of tho deud.
".Now it happened that an Ephesian
was building a slablo on tho sido of
Mount Celion, and finding a pilo of
stones handy, ho took them lor his
edifice, and thus opened tho mouth of
the cavo. Then the seven sleepers
awoke, and it was to them as if the)
had slept but a singlo night. They
began to ask ilalchus what decisions
Decius had given concerning them.
" 'Ho is going lo hunt us down, so
as to force us to sacrifice to the idols,'
was his reply. 'God knows,' replied
Maximain, 'we shall never do that.'
Then, exhorting his companions, he
urged Malchus to go back to tho town
lo buy somo moro bread, and at the
same time to obtain fresh information.
Malchus took five coins nnd left tho
cavern. On seeing tho stones he was
filled with astonishment ; however, lie
went on towards the city; but what
was his bewilderment, on approaehing
tho gate, to seo over it a cross ! J lo
went to another gate, and there lie
beheld the samo sacred sign ; and so
he observed it over each gato of tho
citj-. IIo believed that he was suffer
ing from tho effects of a dream. Then
he entered Ephesus, rubbing bis eyes,
and ho walked to a baker's slio IIo
heard tho people using our Lord's
name, and he was the more perplexed.
'Yesterday no ono dared pronounce
the name of Jeus, and nw it is on
every one's lips. Wonderful! lean
hardlv believe myself to bo in Epho
sus.' Ho asked a paxser by the name
of tho cily, nnd 011 being told it was
Ephesus he was thunder-struck. Now
he entered a baker's shop, and laid
down his monry. The baker, exam
ining the coin, enquired whether ho
found a treasure, and began to whis
per to some others in the shop. The
youth, thinking that ho was discover
ed, and that they were about to con
duct him to the Emperor, implored
them to let him alone, olToring to
leave loaves and money, if bo might
only bo suffered to escape. But the
shop men, seizing him, said, 'Whoever
you are, yon have found a treasure ;
"show us w here it is, that we nmy share
it w ith you, and then wo will hide
you.' Malchus was ton frightened to
answer. So they put a rope round
his neck, and drew him through the
streets into the market placo. The
news soon spread that tho young man
had discovered a great treasure, and
there was presently a vast crowd
about him. He stoutly protested his
innocence. No ono rccognir.ed him,
and his eyes, rangirg over tho faces
which surrounded him, could not see
one which he bad known, or w hich
was in tho slightest degreo familiar
to him.
"St. Martin, tho bishop, and Antipn
ter, the Governor, having heard of the
excitement, ordered the young man
to bo brought before them along with
the bakers. .
"The bishop and the governor asked
him where ho had found tho treasuro,
and he replied that he had found none,

rents, if they live here,' ordered tho
governor.
" 'They live hero, certainly,' repliod
tho youth, and he mentioned their
names. Xo such names wore known
in tho town. Then the governor ex
claimed, "How dare you ouy this
money bolongcd to your parents when
it dates back three hundred an j seventy-seven
years, and is as old as the
beginning of tho reign of Decks, and
it is utterly unlike our motion coin
age f Do you think to imposoon tho
old men and sages of Ephusuf ? Be
lieve mo, I shall make you siller tho
severities of the law till yu show
where you made tho discover;.'
" 'I implore you,' cried Mahus, 'in
the name of God, answer e u few
questions, and then I will answer
yours. Where is the Emperor Docius
gone to?'
- "Tho bishop answered, 'My son,
there is no emperor of thst name; he
who was thus called died loag ago.
''All I hear perplexes me moro
id more, follow mo. ai.d I will '
and more, follow mo, aid I will
show you my comrades, who fled with
rnc itto a cave of Mount Celion, only
yesterday, to escape the cruelly of
Decius. I will lead you to ;hom.'
"The bishop turned to the governor.
'The hand of God is here,' he said.
Then they followed, and a grat crowd
after them. And ilalchui entered
first into the cavern to his companions,
and the bishop alter him. And tlicro
they saw tho martyrs seated in the
cavo, with their faces fresh and blootn-
ing as roses; so all fell down ami
glorified God. Tho bishop and the
governor sent notico to Thcodosius,
and be hurried to Ephesus. All the
inhabitants met bitu and conducted
him to the cavern. As soon as the
saints beheld tLo Emperor their facos
shono like tho sun, and the Emperor
gave thanks unto (.od, and embraced
them, and said, 'I see yoa as though I
saw the Saviour restoring Lazarus.'
AiuxiiiiiMii replic J, -Believe us! for the
faith's sake God has resuscitated us
before the great resurrection duv, in
order that you may bclievo flrmby in
the resurrection of tho dead. For as
the child is in its mother's womb liv
ing and not suffering, so bavo we
lived without suffering fast asleep.'
And having thus spoken, they bowed
their heads, and their souls returned
to their Maker. Tho Kmperor jising,
bent over them and embraced them
weeping. He gave them orders for
golden reliquaries to bo mado, but
that night they appeared to hi iu in 1
dream, and said that hitherto tho
had slept in lh earth, and that in
it, rih they desiroi to !eoi on till

Such is the beautiful story. It seems

Jacobus Sarugiensis, a Mcsopitamian
bishop, in the fifth or sixth Century,

first to introduces it to hurcpo. Di

the remark that Mahomet hid adopt

CincTI.ATlNO THE WrONO PAPER.
At a temperance meeting rocently
held near the city, un amiuing inci
dent took place. A strong exliorla
tiou had just been dclivertd ly a
speaker present, and tho President
requested the Secretary to paw around
the pledge for signatures, anl taking
from his pocket what he supposed
was tho document, bo, witheut look
ing at it, gave it to tho Secretary for
that purpose. A largo niinber of
names were enrolled, by both, gentlo
men and ladies present, and the docu
ments returned. It wasobsrved by
the Secretary while pastdngihe paper
around, that considerable tittering
prevailed among the Indies who took
tho precaution to read the contents
of tlio paper, whilst thoso who did
not read it, and desired to sign, did so.
After going through the congregation,
the Secretary, on his way back,
looked at the paper to sec v hiit was
tho causo of tho amuscniert, w hen it
was revealed to hi in that, instead of
tho temperance pledge, ho had passed
around and received signitures to a
document setting forth ths pedigree
of a celebrated stallion.

To the American Pfijile : .
Our country occupies nn advanced
position on the question of personal
rights. Yot in some instances other
nations go farther than wo do in per
mitting, to tho individual, liberty of
action. Tho most valuable right of
man is the right to enjoy tho fruits of
bis own labor. 'This right is essential
to his best development, physically
and morally. Jt is not enough that
the farmer should bo free to raise all
tho grain ho can grow; nor tho mo
chauic be free to exert his skill in
handiwork; thcr should bo free to
procure, in exchange for wheat they

If tlicro were no protective tariffs,

of it as is not consumed at home,
would procure for the men and wo

comforts of double measure compared
with those they now get iron it. So
also of the crops of cotton and tobac

West in grain or pork nnd beef, bo

into tho hands of one agent and bo be
anthori.ed to carry it abroad and tense dulight to his appreciation of

many blankets, tvice as many clothes,
atid twice as much railroad iron as
wo now get. Tho great want of the
country, increased railroad transpor
tation, would be much moro cheaply
and therefore much moro rapidly sup
plied. On the other hand, protective tar
iffs can, in no way anu in no degree,
increase tho prices of our grain, pork,
beef, cotton tobacco or other in tides
which wo export; for tho prices of
these abroad are regulated by the
general specie prices of tho world,
and tho ju ices hero at home of our
exports mu.-t necessarily be governed
by the prices of tlicso things abroad.
Nor do protective tariffs do gooj
in tho main towards developing man
ufactures among us. Tho occupations
which are of themselves profitable at
ttrt jrortvM, 4fr..tkaw..otintrvV
undertaken without any stimulus from
government. Tho interference of gov
ernment with natural laws in this
respect simply wastes labor.
The Free-Trade Lenguo asks that
custom house duties shall be laid sim
ply for revenue and shall cease to be
laid for tho purpose of keeping cheap
goods out of reach of our people. The
farmer and the laborer would then be
free to buy foreign clothes, or domes
tie clothes, foreign blankets or domes
tic blankets, or foreign iron or domes
tic iron, whichever ho might find
cheapest. Until ho is allowed this
freo choico, he is not a free man in the
use and disposal of his labor
The Free-Trade League hold that
no government ever was wise enough
or ever will bo w ieo c-ioitgh to regu
late tho private business of the peoplo,
so as to prescribe to them what they
shall biiv and what they shall not buy
or to what market or to what shop
they shall go to buy w hat they need.
Wo oppose a tariff framed with a
view of legislating money out of the
pockets of tho many into tho pockets

Franco tinder the commercial treaty
promoted by Cobdcn, is that with a
reduction of one-third in the rate of
duties, the revenue of both govern
ments has increased and the condition
of tho peoplo in both countries bus
been greatly iniprovod by spreading

Tho cultivation of tasto is one of
the most instructive, pleasant and
fruitful of all scientific pursuits. The
man with a cultivated taste is always
regarded in a commendable light; he
is pointed out to tho passer-by, and
around him aro diffused enjoyments
of a pure and unadulterated nature.
He flics from the haunts of vice, and
communes "through the creature, with
the Creator." Ho drinks deep of the
crystal fountains of nature, which
daily display tho wisdom, the power,
tho goodness of God. Ho lives hon
ored, dies lamented deeply lamented
by thoso w ho w,cro partakers in his
treasures, and who listened with in-
, rupt, vitiated and morbid appetite
Heboid tliis Pcum of creation, this
perrcler, to tlie worst of nil purpose;",
tlie noblest (pi of God ! In bis most
aeceptiible Tiht, be. has something
annexed to him, from which the mind
bliriiiUs with iiTiutterulile horror. And
in that horror, tho educated mind
perceives tho "train of evils," that
lurk around tho well nnmed worldling.
Evils which tho "linrd of heart" do!
uot perceive, ns ther are tossed to and
Iro upon tho ocean of life, a buoyant
peslileiico to society.
Then, ilear reader, improve, tho
golden hour, bo awakened to a sense
nf the dutj-, which your Creator and
society, demund of you. Employ your
leisure hours in the perusal of ftand
urd authors, and rem, assured it will
bring its reward. You will 6nd more
Blew " ri.iing me urnu,,, 0f
Addisou or Irving than by Ireipieni
ing that sink of iniquity the dram
shop. You will bo more enraptured
with tho mysteries of nature, as ex
plained by Goldsmith or Ijutfon, than
can be gleaned from what are in com
mon jiatiin styled "profanum vulyus."
You will be tarried down the rale ol
enchantment moro readily, yet more
pleasantly, by being transported with
Moore, in bis "Lalla liookh" through
the voluptuous parterres of Asia, or
pasting by tho land of the fir and
romance, swept by tho imaginative
genius of a liyron, than in tho compa
ny of the hair-brained votarie of pleas
ure. That sportivo butterfly, that
enters the highway of lile a seeker of
pleasuro, yet satiated with enjoyment
on tl.j verge of life, exclaims w ith l.ul

The Only Osr. (lenerul Sheridan
is the only Regular Army oflicer on

persuasion drew his rarriago through
tho streets, and in l'hilailelphia the
mummeries of the I'nion League were
equally disgusting. They were not
tho honors which A grateful pernio
properly pay to a aueeesful soldier,
but the disgraceful orgies and antics
of a mob of one horse politicians, to
whom a General or a Circus is always
a godsend, because they draw crowds.
