Gewrtitices: In the year 1856, I unfortunately
was in business in the Artisan lluilding, whit&
was destroyed by fire on the 10th of April. I
had then in use what I supposed was a Fire
proof Safe, but upon opening it I found every
thing was destroyed, and fire burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen, there were
several of your Safes in that lire , also several in
the fire at Sixth and Commerce streets. the next
May, five weeks afterwards, ali of which upon
being o ed proved they were lire-proof in
deed, witnessedlhe opening of the most
oft in every case the contents were
hile Safes of other makers were
p a rta , J r 4b entirely destroyed. lat once con
el , have something that I could depend
ingln, an purchased one of your Safes.
Me We I purchased of you at that time was
subjected to a white heat (which was witnessed
by several gentlemen that reside in the neigh
borhood) at the destruction of my Marble Paper
Factory, 921 Wallace street, on the afternoon
and evening of the 24th inst. After digging the
Safe from the ruins, and opening it this morn
ing, I was much pleased to find everything, con
sisting of books, papers, money and silverware
all right. I shall want another of your Safes as
soon as I can get a place to continue my busi
ness in. I could not rest contented with any
other make of Safes.

W. H. BIEHINGER a CO.,
Down swept the chili wind from the moun
tain peak.
From the snow five thousand summers old ;
On open wold and hill top bleak
It had gathered all the cold,
And whirled it like sleet on the wanderer's
-. cheek ;
It carried a shiver everywhere
From the unleafed boughs and pastures bare;
The little brook heard it, and built a roof
'Neath 'which he could house him winter
proof ;
All night by the white stars' frosty gleams
He poised his arches and matched his beams;
Slender and clear were his crystal spars
As the lashes of light that trim the stars ;
Ile sculptured every summer delight
In his halls and chambers out of sight ;
Sometimes his tinkling waters slipt ;
Down through a frost-leaved forest crypt,
Long, sparkling aisles of steel•stemmed trees,
Bending counterfeit a breeze
Sometimes the roof no fretwork knew
But silvery mosses, that downward grew ;
Sometimes it was carved in sharp relief
With quaint-arabesques of ice fern leaf ;
Sometimes it was simply smooths and clear
For the gladness of heaven to shine through,
and here
He bad caught the nodding bulrush-tops,
Apd hung them thickly with diamond drops,
Which crystalled the beams of moon and sun,
And made a star of every one :
No mortal builder's most rare device
Could match this winter-palace of ice ;
'Twee as if every image that mirrored lay
In his depth's serene through the summer day,
Each. Bitting shadow ()Meath and sky,
Lest the happy model should be lost,
Had been mimicked in fairy masonry
By the elfin builders of the frost.
When and where, it matters not now to
relate—tut once upon a time, as I was
passing through a thinly peopled district
of country, night came down upon me
almost unawares. Being on foot, I could
not hope to gain the village toward which
my steps were directed, until a late hour ;
and I therefore preferred seeking shelter,
and a night's lodging, at the first humble
dwaliime that presented itself...
Dusky twilight was giving place to
darker shadows, when I found myself in
the vicinity of a dwelling, from the small
uncurtained windows of which the light
shown with a pleasant promise of good
cheer and comfort. The house stood with
in au enclosure, and a short distance from
the road along which I was moving with
wearied feet. Turning aside, and passing
through the ill-hung gate, I approached
the dwelling. Slowly the gate swung on
its wooden hinges, and the rattle of its
latch, in closing, did not disturb the air
until I had nearly reached the little porch
in front of the house, in which a slender
girl, who had noticed my entrance, stood
awaiting my arrival.
A deep, quick bark answered, almost
like an echo, the sound of the shutting
!fate, and, sudden as an apparition, the
form of an immense dog loomed in the
doorway. At the instant when he was
about to spring, a light hand was laid up
on his shaggy neck and a low word spokes
" Go in, Tiger," said the girl, not in a
voice of authority, yet in her gentle tones
was the consciousness that she would be
obeyed ; and, as she spoke, she lightly
bore upon the animal with her hand, and
he turned away, and disappeared within
the dwelling.
" Who's that ?" A rough voice asked
the question ; and now a heavy looking
man took the dog's place in the door.
PA MPHLBTI4,
NOTES, &C
"How far is it to G ?" I asked,
not deeming it best to say, in the begin
ning, that it sought a resting-place for the
night.
"To G----!" growled the man, but, not
so harshly as at first. " It's good six
miles from here."
" A long distance ; and I'm a stranger,
and on foot," said I. "If you can make
room for me until morning, I will be very
thankful."
I saw the girl's hand move quickly up
his arm, until it rested upon his shoulder,
and now she leaned to him still closer.
"Come in. We'll try what can be clone
for you."
There was a change in the man's voice
that made me wonder.
I
I entered a large room, in which blazed
a brisk fire. Before the tire sat two stout
lads, who turned upon me their heavy
eyes, with no very welcome greeting. A
middle-aged woman was standing at a
table, and two children were amusing
themselves with a kitten on the floor.
"A stranger, mother," said the man
who had given me so rude a greeting at
the door ; " and he wants us to let him
stay all night."
The woman looked at me doubtingly
for a. few moments, and then replied
coldly_—
" We don't keep a public house."
"I am aware of that, ma'am," said I ;
"but night has overtaken hie, and it's a
long way yet to—."
" Too far for &tired man to go ou foot,"
said the master of the house, kindly, "so
it's no use talking about it, mother ; we
must give him a bed."
So unobtrusively, that I scarcely noticed
the movement, the girl had drawn to the
woman's side. What sl.e said to her I
did not hear, for the brief words were ut
tered in a low voice ; but I noticed, as she
spoke, one small, fair hand rested on the
woman's hand. Was there magic in that
gentle touch ? The women's repulsive
aspect changed into one of kindly welcome,
and she said:
care for hint who shall hare borne the battle, and
for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may
achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace
among ourselves and with sill nations."--.1..1.

Yes,, it's a long way to 1:-___. I
, mess we can find a place for him."
Many times more during that evening,
did I observe the magic power of that
hand and voice—the one gentle yet potent
as the other.
On the next morning, breakfast being
over, I was preparing to take my depar
ture, when my host informed me that if I
would wait for halt an hour he would give
me a ride in his wagon to f; , as
business required him to go there. I was
vet y well pleased to accept of the invita
tion. In due time, the farmer's wagon
was driven into the road before the house,
and I was invited to get in. I noticed the
horse as a rough looking Canadian pony,
with a certain air of stubborn endurance.
As the farmer took his seat by my side,
the family came to the door to see us off.
"Dick!"said the farmer,in a preemptory
voice, giving the reign a quick jerk as he
spoke.
Bot Dick moved not, a step.
"Dick! you vagabond! get up." And
the farmer's whip cracked sharply by the
pony's ear.
It availed not, however, this second
appeal. Dick stood firmly disobedient.
.Next the whip was brought down upon
him with an impatient hand; but the pony
only reared up a little. Fast and sharp
the strokes were next dealt to the number
Of half-a-dozen. The man might as well
have beaten his wagon. for all his end
was gained.
A stout lad came now out into the road,
and catching Dick by the bridle, jerked
him forward, using, at the same time, the
customary language on such occasions,
but Dick met this new ally with increased
stubbornness, planting his forefeet more
firmly, and at a sharper angle with the
ground. The impatient boy now struck
the pony on the side of his head with his
clinched hand, and jerked cruelly at his
bridle. It availed nothing, however; Dick
was not to be wrought upon by any such
arguments.
" Don'tdo so, John!" I turned my head
as the sweet maiden's voice reached my
ear. She was passing through the gate
into the road, and, in the next moment,
had taken hold of the lad and drawn him
away from the animal. No strength was
exerted in this; she took hold of his arm,
and he obeyed her wish as readily as if he
had no thought beyond her gratifications.
And now that soft hand was laid gently
on the pony's neck, and a single low word
spoken. llow instantly were the tense
muscles relaxed—how quickly the stub
born air vanished.
"Poor Dick!" said the maiden, as she
stroked his neck lightly, or softly patted
it with a child-like hand.
" Now, go along, you provoking fel
low!" she added in a half-chiding, yet
atl'ectionate voice, as she drew up the
bridle. The pony turned toward her, and
rubbed his head against her arm for an
instant or two; then, pricking up his ears,
he started ()flat a light, cheerful trot, and
went on his way as freely as if no silly
crotchet had ever entered his silly brain.
"What a wonderful power that band
possesses!" said I, speaking to my com
panion as we rode away.
He looked at me for a moment as if my
remark had occasioned surprise. Then a
light came into his countenance, and he
said briefly—
" She's good! Everybody and everything
loves her."
Was that indeed the secret of her power?
Was the quality of her soul perceived in
the impression of her hand, even by brute
beasts! The father's explanation was,
doubtless the true one. Yet have I ever
since wondered, and still do wonder, at
the potency which lay in that maiden's
magic touch. I have seen something of
the same power, showing itself in the
loving and the good, but never to the ex
tent, instanced in her, whom, for want of
a better name, I must still call "Gentle
I land."
DESCRIPTION OF A QUADRILLE.
It is described thus by a young man who
tried it : " We both bowed to both of us,
and then to t'other ; then the fiddle tun
ed and the thing started. I grabbed her
female hand, she squeezed mine, we both
slung each other, than changed base clear
across the room, jumped up and down
ever so many times, then my dear and me
dozed-a-doe and hop-scotched home again
(from a foreign shore,) then we two for
warded, four ladies changed, we X over,
turned around twice, shasayed sideways,
I backed to place, site dittoed, side couple
to the left, side couples turn gentlemen,
side couples turn ladies, ladies turn side
couples, head couples turn side couples, all
hands around, back again. First feller takes
opposite gal, slings her around, take your
own gal and,Vother feller's gal foiward and
back, twist both gals two times, sling 'em
to opposite feller, let him do the same as
you, and back again to the places ; light
gentleman balance to heavy lady, heavy
lady duplicate, promenade all gale to the
centre, fellers catch hold of each other's
hands, bob up and down, arm over, ladies
atop, jump up and down, each feller takes
his lady back to place. Right gentleman
spin right lady, right lady spin left gen
tleman ; all twist each other, do it again,
over, repeat, once more, keep it up, all
turn t'other backwards, sideways, each
couple swing t'other couple, cross over,

HE only is worthy ofc ateem that knows
what is just and honest and dares do it—
that is master to his own passions, and
scorns to b~ a slave to another's. Such a
one, in the lowest poverty, is a far better
man, and merits more respect than those
gay things who owe all their greatness
and reputation to their rentals and reve
nues.—Dr. Fuller.

A REMINISCENCE OF "FIFT;'-SEVEN."
The late Julian Legrand. a famous
Paris merchant, was fond "of telling th
following incident of his mercantile - life;
and he never closed tho narration but with
swimming eyes:
"During the financial crisis and crash
of fifty-seven, when great men were sink
ing all around us. and banks were totter
ing, our house became alarmed at the
condition of its own affairs. The partners
—three of us, of whom I was the senior—
met in our private office for consultation.
Our junior had made a careful inventory
of everything—of bills receivable and bills
payable—and his report was, that twenty
thousand pounds (speaking in English
currency) of ready money, to be held
through the pressure, would save us.
Without that, we must go by the board;
the result was inevitable. I went among
my friends; but in vain. The amount of
money we needed was not to be had. Men
who held gold would not let it go, save
upon solid security; and the only security
we could give was our word and our honor,
for the many thousands due us were as
nothing in that hour.
" Two whole days I strove and begged,
and then returned to the counting-bons.•
in despair. I sat at my desk, expecting
every moment to hear the voice of our
junior sounding the terrible words, Our
paper is protested!' when a gentleman
entered my apartment unannounced. Ile
was of middle age, with a frank, genial
face: and though I fancied there was
something familiar in his earnest, kindly
look, yet I could not call him to mircd in
any way.
`M. Legrand, — he said taking a seat
near my desk, " I hear that you are in
need of money."
" The very face of the man inspired
confidence, and T told him just how I was
situated."
" Give me your own dote of hand, at one
year, without interest, for $20,000, and I
will give you a cheque for that amount."
"While I sat gazing upon him in speech
less astonishment, he continued thus:
You don't remember me; bull remem
ber you. I remember when you were a
member of the superintending school com
mittee of blezieres. I was a boy at the
school. My father was dead; my mother
was poor, and I was but shabbily clad,
though clean. When our class was called
up to recite on examination day, von asked
the questions. I fancied you would praise
and pet the children of the rich and fortu
nate parents, and pass me by. I blun
dered anti stammered, and quivered with
shame. But it was not as I had thought.
In the end you passed by all the others
and came to me. You laid your hand
upon my head and told me I had done
very well; and then you told me I could
do better still if I would try. You told
me that the way to honor and renown was
open to all alike—no one had a free pass.
All I bad to do was to be resolved awl
push on. That, sir, was the turning point
in my life. From that how my soul has
aspired; and I have never reached a great
good without blessing you in my heart. 1
have proSpered, and I am wealthy; and I
now offer you but a poor return for the
soul-wealth you gave to me in that bygone
I took the check," said i l t egransi,
" and drew the gold; and the house was
saved. And where, at the end of the
year," he added, "do you suppose I found
my promissory note?"
We could not guess.
" In the possession," he told us, with
streaming eyes, "of my little orphaned
granddaughter! Oh! hearts like that man
heart are what bring earth and heaves:
nearer together!"
LIFE WITHOUT A
Those of you who are familiar with the
shore, may have seen, attached to the in
undated reef, a creature, whether a plant
or animal you could scarcely tell, rooted
to the rock as a plant might be, and
twirling its long tentacula as an animal
would do. This plant-animal's life i:,
somewhat monotonous, for it has nothing
to do but to grow and twirl its feelers,
float in the tick, or fold itself up on it:,
foot-stalk, when that tide has receded, for
months and years together. Now, would
it not be very dismal to be transformed
into a zoophyte? Would it not be au
awful punishment, with your human soul
still in you, to be anchored to a rock, able
to do nothing but spin about your arms or
fold them up again, and knowing no
variety, except when the receding ocean
left you in the daylight, or the returning
waters plunged you into the deep green
depths again, or the sweeping tide brought
you the prize of a young periwink or an
invisible starfish? But what better is the
life you are spontaneously leading? What
greater variety marks your existence, than
chequers the life of the sea-anemon? Does
not one day float over you after another
just as the tide floats over it, and finds
you much the same, and leave you vege
tating still? Are you more useful? What
real service to others did you render yes
terday? What tangible amount of occu
pation did you overtake in the one hun
dred and sixty-eight hours of which last
week consisted? And what higher end in
living have you than the polypus? You
go through certain mechanical routines of
rising, and dressing, and visiting, and
dining, and going to sleep again, and are
a little roused from your usual lethargy
by the arrivaj of a friend, or the effort
needed to write some note of ceremony.
But as it curtseys in the waves, and
vibrates its exploring arms, and gorges
some dainty medusa, the sea-anemone
goes through nearly the same round of
pursuits and enjoyments with your inteli
gent and immortal self. Is this a life for
a rational and responsible creature to
lead?
IN FATHER ABRAHAM.
