The operatic season was at its
height iu Parls,.and 'the new prima
donna was taking 'all hearts by
stone. Iter beahty ; hbt Vohilbrrul
te'nitis, and- above all, •her magnifl
cent voice - , had create() a marked on
1.
preiNon even on the gay capital of
Franee, Where that which is false
eithei in.science or art, soon loaf% its
glitter, and stands out in its true
cdlot . -But ibe Siguora Fonti had
gin+ and merit enough to stand a
doseti such tests, and • she i went
i,
ikon` ril the ordeal without suffering.
Of course she had many admirers,
but mong them tilt she bad not a
sing) lover. The men said she Vias
cold and. heartless, that she was in-
Capable of loving, bnt one glance at
her lovely face was sufficient to re
fute this slander, for ;onspuld read
there the tokens of a i warm and lov-
ing heart. But the eignOra's heart
was it proud bne, also,it had been
stbehid in a school oft , idversity, and
she Was cautions.hop she gave peo
ple a ; claim even to her friendship, a
mindful very necessary to a woman
in hei position. But that claim once
give4 '
she was a true and loyal
friend through good arid evil fortune.
.BbL• had just. adopted." her profea
sion, land this *as iirjt only her first
scaein in Paris, but also her first
seasn on the stage. ;The direetor of
the rand Opera , had engagkd her
mere y as an experiment • but her
accedes bad been 80 marked, and she
bad token such a flan hold upon the
Parisians, that she had been retainvd
asfitt prima donna ; and a fortu
nate engagement it , proved, for the
receipts of the treasury were larger
thanhey bad been for years, and
upon the nights when the signora ap
-1
pear d, there was no such thing as
an empty seat in all the vast thestrc.
Ainung the admirers of - signilra
wan o. certain 'Colotiel Dufour, a gal
lant Officer of the army, who had won
his okay' in Algeria and the Crimea
from (the ranks to his Colonelcy.
Ile was a quiet Olio, and was not
given to much talking ; but he was
onef those rare speituens of the
Almi 'Sty ' s handiwork who make
tt ,
their way into our esteem and friend
ship as irresistibly as' they overcome
theiv way through lif.
tith
Colonel Dufour was 1 irty-six years
old, nd the signora twenty-seven
Thei were well suited in age, but
entirely opposed t.. each other in per•
sonal appearance, for he was as
homily as she was beautiful. This
was Unfortunate for the Colonel, as
the's gnorn was an ardent lover of
maul, beauty but it was perhaps
atop' for by the, , fact that she look
ed for something more than beauty
in a rnan. ~
Towards the close.cif the signora's
engTement, the energy of the me
trop lis was directed! to the all ab
sorb g topic of the approaching war
with Austria for Italian liberty. The
t
gain let had been thrown down, and
Freels.° was about to take it up.-
Coloiiel Dufour was, of course, keen
ly. alive to the situation, for his reg- ,
imenwas one of the r' First Corps ',
and w as already under orders Corps,"
mare towards the Alps. 'He was a
true 'Soldier, and was resolved if the
war Came, to seek Still higher pro
-1 motion in it ; but, for the drat time
in bin life, the thought of being call
ed into a tive service made him sad.
The season was that the Colonel was
in hp., t
1
The signora, also , bras sad at the
thought of her friend' being 'called
away. She did not love him ; but
with woman's tact ahe bad discov
ered is secret and she knew that he
lov her better than he could ever
love 'any woman again, She valued
his , friendship as one {of her dearest
trbasn res-; and it pained her deeply
that be should love her, when she
could not return his passion.
Thb night before be left Paris was
a holiday to the sigunra ' and *he re

And as he spoke the signora drew
Item her Anger a plain gold ring, and
slipped it on tin._

The next morning, Colonel Dufour
set out with his regiment for the
frontier of Savoy, to join the army of
the Alpe. lie reached hls destination
lu due tine itud iu the course of a
few weeks shared hi the iamoui
march across Mount Cenis to Lusa.
Then came the conceotration upon
the line of the Po, when the army of
rrance, led' by the Emperor Napoleon
the Third, confronted Its enemy upon
the classic soil of Italy.
At Magenta the fighting was hot
and heavy, and the Seventeenth and
Colonel Dufour rose high in the esti
mation of all in the army ; and when
the Emperor came to reward • the
brave deeds performed on 'that me
morable 4th of June, It was found
that Colonel Dufour bad been given
a general's epaulet. He wrote reg
randy to the signora and it was with
a proud heart that he sent bell iiisitor
of his promotion.
Hie letters were generally answer
ed. quickly but this one received no
reply. This surprised him • and as
the time passed on and no w ord came
from the signora, he begah to fear
that she was ill. But he had little
time to think of this ; for the army
was advancing of.
the Mincio,
and every moment was taken up with
attending to his duties. The roads
were to be mended, and the bridges
repaired ; so _thoroughly had they
been destroyed-, by the retreating
Austrians ; and • there was scarcely
an instant to devote to his personal
Monett.
The morning of the 24th of Juno
came at last ; and in the dim mist of
the morning the brigade of Colonel
Dolour was thrown forward to open
the village and heights of &Venue.
It wan warm work, for the Austrians
who are no children in battle, resist
ed stubbornly. 'The battle soon be
came general along the whole line;
and for ' fourteen . hours the' French
struggled with heroic valor before
the prize of victory • was yielded to
them. The brigade of General Du
four was conspicuous for its gaiter',
try. Its leader was everywhere
where danger called him. Wherrthe
final - charge which carried - the ceme
tery and drove the Austrians into the
village, was made, five color-bearers
bad been shot dorm in the General's
old regiment, and his whole brigade
had suffered terribly. Seizing the
colors, as the signal given to move
forward, he tore , them from the staff,
and wrapping them around his body
placed himself at the head of his
troops.
" We'll make sure of the colors
this time, comrades," be shouted, as
they rushed forward, and a-wild Cheer
answered , him.
- The colors and their intrepid bear
er were always in the advance that
day. • The Austrians were driven
from the position ; and the terrible
hand-tohand fight through the streets
and from house to house at Solferino
began. It was tough work,,trat it
was well done ; and when the hour
of two o'clock: sounded, a rousing
French cheer, rising high above the
crash of battle, told that the key
point to the field had been won.
But it was won at a fearful pries . ;
and when the order was passed along
the line to reform for a fresh advance
upon the 'Austrian centre, it 'was
f , und that General Dufour was miss
ing. The battle, swept on, and *ben
night came the French bivouacked on
the hard-won field.
The neit day the - official gazette
was made ont, and it announeed that
the gallant General Dufour, whose
brigade bad rendered such eed ser•
vice, was among,the severely wound
ed and„that the Emperor had promo
ted him' to the grade‘ of lieutenant
general.
But .the brave man himself was
utterly uneonscious of all the honors
that were bestowed upon him. :He
had been Conveyed to the hospital at.
Milan, and he now lay' there hovering
between life and death. He was not
*lrma, however, for he had the best
noire in the 'whole establishment.
She was a "'Sister of -Mercy ni.-ene

Hof the dear *entris had left behind
in France; 'awl wondering how she

hedwet thought of her parting gift
since kis coneMenne° began; but
-now he remembered it, and he raised
his hand to look at the ring, when,
to his surpriae he found that it was
missing. The surgeon was passing
thr•nigh t he Ward at the time, and
the General cniled him and Mated
*kiss. ,
"Du you kuew whether it was on

' Yes," i replied the aurgeou, ." I re

" What , can , have become of it ? - I
value it highly It ,hi the gift of 'a

" I can't imagine," the aurrou
said, thonghttully, " unless , Sister
Therese took It away with her."
"SisterYberese I" asked 'the Gen

Then the 111114£1011 told him how the
"Sister of Mercy" had- asked per

and devotedly she - had battled' with

with eurprise, and' seemed. entirely at

in him or who she 'Could be • and the
surgeon - was still more perplezeitand
mystified bye affair.

"If you • iph to recover the ring,
beneral," he said at length, , "twill
ascertain where Sister Therese can
be found" ,
" No,' was the reply, "let her keep
it. If she took it she will doubtless
return it to me, as I see no' reason
why she should wish to keep it ; but
if she cares to !retain it, let ter do so
I for what she his done for me."
0 This settled" the matter so far as
the surgeon was concerned ; .bat it
iinly raised his; curiosity (and he had
a fair share of that quality) to the
1 higheist pitch. 1 ; He was not, however,

COURTSHIP AND Lovs.—There's a bit
of sentiment uttered by the heroine
in the play ."Under the Gas Light"
on the subject of - Gonrtship and Love,
that seems to resell every womanly
heart, which may' be as welcome to
'readers as to bearers.. As lovers are
discontented and unhappy, so as y6u
would be happy all the yeafs of your
life, listen to the voice advng you :
" tetthe woman you look upon be
wise or vain; beautiful of homely,
;rich or poor, she has bat one thing
which:she really
,gives or refugee—
heri heart I Her beauty , her wit, her
' accomlishments she may sell to you
—butler love is the treasure with
'out 'money and without price ! She
only asks in return that when you
look apba her your, eyes shall speak
a mute devotion, when you address
'her your voice shall be gentle and
loving. That you shall not despise
her because she cannot under
stand all at 'once -year vigorous
thoughts and ambitious designs, for
when misfortune and evil have de
feated your greatest purposes, her
love remains to console you.
—" You look to the tree for strength
and grandeur—do not despise the.
flowers because their 'fragrance is
all they havo to give. Remember
Love is all's woman has to give—
bat it is the only earthly thing that
God permits us to carry beyond the
grave. 1

We have met to biz the corner

entire indifference. No doubt your
emotions wilt be varied dome Will
speak of - it as the comer stone of a
Church, others as the corner stone of
that Church, others still as the corner
atone of the Baptist Church, while
others,' with - a sectarianism, Which
may beget indifference, if it does not

their Church; while a few faithful and,
tried souls—old men:and women,whc

day, and young men and women who
have'nobly and bravely worked for
it—will say our Church - -the corner
store of Of 'Mari* while a tear
opens a door for :the. word, and a si
lent prayer closes it after. Vitried.
as your emotions may be, the occa
sion makes appeal to orange of sym
pathies wide enough to enrich all.-
The event of to-day—the laying of
this corner stone—does not Claim at
tention for itself alone. It - is more
important as a promise or future
good: On its own account it would
pares unnoticed, bat connected with
that *hilth is dare to follow, •it Bath
era into itself something of the lb
portauce of a train of, truths that are
unending in their influence. Inci
dents in the early history of nations
are earnestly sought for ; not from
any intrinsic value of tbemselveriibut
because there is added to their real
importance, something of the great
uess of the after life. The discoiery
of America by Coumnus, has, bpits
results, been lifted into immortality.
The wealth, the honor, the power of
a mighty nation, rise upon that dis
covery, consecrating forevermore, the
name of the bold 'navigator. So this
event, diewed of itself, is of no great
weight, but viewed as a promise of
results that'shall inevitably flow from
it, no part of our nature is omitted in
the appeal.;
On this stone shall rise a Churn:
beautiful in its proportions, and an
ornament -to the place: And by en
hancing the value of property, and
securing a higher moral culture,while
it cultivates a lore of the beautiful,
the good, and the true, appeals/di
rectly to that public spirit that de
lights in making this lovely valley
the centre of a circle of influences
which shall elevate and save the
eommuility. .
Witness thisber th from Sabbath
t

social worship ; an hundred house
holds shall be represented here week
ly, and the social - feeling cherished
around an- hundred firesides in this
vicinity, by the daily duties ef home,
shall here be consecrated to the wor
ship of (ion. Here, together, they
shall join in prayer;'here they shall
unite in isongeof praise 1 here child
hood 'and old - age, 8124 youth and
manbood,ehall meet and mingle. And
this event thus appeals all social
feeling, andell religious sensibility.
Within this Church shall be promul
gated those principles of civil sind'm
ligious liberty for - which our fathers
fought., and which have become a
thousand fold dearer by the 'six hun
dred thousand brave men who gave
their lives to perpetuate them ; so 1
%tat patriotism comes Iwithin the ch.:,
de of this appeal. : . I
Glad preceseions shall" enter here.
Young maidens decked in white shall
lead the way for the strength and
beauty that shall be united in holy
bands, (for who.dOes• not wish to Reel
the good old custom of being , married
in church revived again?) And:pro. 1 1
cessions, sad and slow, shall go out,
from here,on their way to the chuich
yard, while the . solemn toll of the 1
bell symbolizes the sorrow of mourn-1
'Ting hearts. Thus does the laying of
this corner stone link itself with all',
the noblest sympathies of our nature.
Poverty that needs succor and
help, Wealth that needs the protec
tion of the law, Virtue that needs de
fense, and Morality that needs guard
ing, Old Age that needs comfort and

on the • slightest ipcurrenco of the

these associations often bring biick
to ors the instructions which fell from
,the)ips of Gon's servant, and amidst
the follies and waywardness of after
life, they are sometime,: brought to
our recollection - with a vividness and
power that arrests our downward
course, and brings us penitently to

_a blessing is; in them 1 But this is
a day of I hcirie;:ind - not 6f sorrow
a day for congratulations,and not for
regrets. It is a day for the future,
and not - for the past. The. way-you
.have travelled may have been hard,
rough; and crooked in the [midi. It
lies straight, soil smooth, and bright,
before you in the future.
For you, Elder, Brethren and Sis
ters, who laid. the foundation of oar
Church lEkielety, this is good day.
Fathers -and,mothers of the. Church, I
yoti see the work which you began
years ago, taken op and carried for
ward, to be united with generations
yet in the future. The little Church
edifice which your hands reared, re
mains a memento of the past. Your
work -was not a failure. The pros
perity and good order of this commu
nity, to which you so largely con - -
tribnted, the Church building we this
day found, the'- members- that have
been added, to your small band,
thoie that have' exchanged the Wor
ship of enith for that of heaven, is a
proof of the success of your: work
and of the faithfulness of that GOD
Whom yoti serve. Let your 'hearts
be glad that the work of your later
-yeark has been like' your earlier
work : - the building of a house for
the worship of GOD.
This stone is unimportant of - itself,
but what; stone in all the building,
what stone in all the hills about no,
so rich in promise as this ? We look
:from this ;stone through the door '
which it opens into 'the futnre i - and

Tea Nation relates the following
anecdOte of a young clergyman Why
had just buried*his wife In the ear
ly freshness of his Oahe was wait
ed upon by one ofhis deacons, "with
the announcement that }hgher Smith
had left his church and gone tolls:
Methodist, "and Brother Smith dues
-say that you, his own minister, have
.hurt his feelings so that
.ho never
can get over it." The tender hearted
shepherd was touched by this_impu
tatian, and eager to atone to the ag
grieved sheep for any unintentional
wrong he might have done him.
i/ So up he took his little crook,
Determined for to find him"—
which he did, sulking over sonic job
of his trade of house-carpentry. After
some expenditure of much aMctioir
ate entreaty and skillful cross quest
ioning, the minister elicited the fol
lowing " Well, the fact is, I knew
there wasn't much chance -of your
wife'd getting well and so I went to
Work two or three weeks before she
died, so as .to have it all ready, and
made just the prettiemt coffin forher,
that was ever turned out in this town.
I'd took her measure a hundred tithes

pew, you knew. I didn't say nothing -
about it to you beforehand, 'Canso

HOW to KEEP MEN As Hoss.—There
would be fewer wretched marriages,
fewer dissipated, degraded men, if
women were taught to feel the angel
duty which devolves on thcm,to keep
the wandering steps of those who aro
tempted so much more than they,ia,..
the paths of yirtne and_ peace ta - -
make them feel that in the busy ,
world is noise suideonftution—that at
home there is order and repose—that
their "eyes look brighter" when they
tome—that . the'smile of- welcome is
i
ever reedy receive iheni,the books
are'ever re y to be laid aside to
minister to e husband's pleasure ;
they vrould, find amusement , then at
home, notatrive to seek it elsewhere.
And not alone to then higher .classes
of society should be taught—it should
be alesson instilled into the minds all
—high and low; rich and poor.—
Fewer heart-broken wiveloreeping .
and seolding,would stancrwaiting at
the door of public.houses, to lead the
unsteady steps of their drunken
husbands home, if that home had of-_
fered a room as cheerfil, a fire as .
bright, a welcome as ready and cor
dial.as at the tap room they frequent.
Duty has . seldom so strong a hold=
on,man as women ; they cannot,will
net, for duty's sake, remain in a dull,
tedirins, ill-managed; quarrelsome
home, but leave it to find elsewhere
the comfort and amusement which
fails them their ; and when riot and_
revelry . have done their work, the
wives, and sisters, who .have done co
little to make them - otherwise, are
pitied for . their .bad husbands and
