The vanity of the fair sex, it hi
said, is of the same age is the sex its
self. A clever writer, in defending
this trait of the femininb character,
has said tLat it constitutes its great
est charm; that without it the sex
woulil tope half its attraction; and in
support of this theory there is the
old, quaint story of the German mai
den; a hi,,tory which is so tender and
pretty that it is worth rescuing from
tLe forgotten legends of the father
land.
the Rhine with her father, the miller.
Now, the maiden, whbse name was
Elise, was not pretty; and she was
cross and fretful, for she grieved;-for
her own lack of beauty, and thought
that none would care for her on ac-
count of the few graces nature bad
given her; so she did not even try to
please, and her heart was large and
very kindly. She spent half her time
in front of her looking-glass, lament-
ing her plainness, and thinking how
impossible it was that Carl would
ever learn to love her, while .:
,Gretch
Gretch
en, who was so fair and pretty, that
she was called "The Daughter of
Spring,'( dwelt near her. Elise was
not lov4l l for sho had never tried to
gain love. She always fancied that
it would be in vain to endeavor to
please, in vain to be kind, thoughtful
and . loving.
,When nature had so
slighted htr,
who - could care for her,
or think of her, or be interested in
: het'? "Ah l" she sighed, one day,
"if I could have Gretchen's beauty,
I should be the happiest girl in
the fatherland, for thenshould n' .t
fear any rival, and Car - sunny
haired Carl—might love o." But
.Carl never came to her now, and only
thonght•of her as a cross and- fretful
lise,- and wished Gretchen had less
Vimity with her pretty face, and rath
er 's largo heart in her slim body.
One day—it was in the time of the
vintage—Else went down to the
Rhine to bring water, and, as she
dipped her pails in the clear ripples,
she saw her own
,face reflected, and
turned away, wretched and discon
tented. She art down on a rocky
stone, and Vratched the sunlight
playing on the- \ i astle crowned hills,-
and listened tot e far-off song of the
workers in the vine.yards ; and she
thought of Carl, who 'was also there.
‘"Ah, me," she sighed, ' what a gift
is beauty I"
" Elise," said a voicend, looking
up she saw an old woman, a very
old, - deformed woman standing near
her ; " Elise," she said, Ig` I \will tell
you the secret of beauty, and yon
shall obtain all that you longifor so
much. Go home, and never Ipek.in
a glass, never see the ieflection\ef
your face in the water, I never on
again gaze on your own features, an
you will grow pretty; so, pretty tha
all will wonder at the change; and
Carl—Carl will learn to love you."
" Oh, I will never see my face again
as long as I live—never, never," said
Elise. " Bat are you sere, quite
sure ?"..- ,
- " Quite sure," replied the dame;
"but remember, if you once see your
face your ugliness will return. Now
1..0 home, and be light of heart; and
every day yfrr -lack of beauty will
.grow less, a d.every day more love
will hover round . you."
"But how shill I know that it is
tree, if I may not see my face?" said
Elise.

A GERMAN LEGEND.
A maiden lived on the banks of
" Can you not te.l by . the altered
manner of those around you ?" !iaid
the dame.
Oh, yes," said Elise;
will watch them !"
Elise went home with a new and
strange happiilass at her heart—a
hapqnuess that changed her nature
and influenced every day of her life,
and made her amiable, and soft, and
loving, and kind, and considerate,
and anxious to please, and ready
to serve and help-others.
Piesently, the people began to
remark the alteration in the miller's
daughter, and to tell her how differ
ent she was from formerly, and the
maidens_sought her out 'and talked
to her about herlover, and'the
youths declared.that Elise, the mill
ees daughter, was the nicest girl
that side of the Rhine, and Carl be
gan to think how different she was
from Gretchen, and learned to
love her, and through the fatherland
there was not so happy a girl as
Elise. And all this tune she never
once saw her own face, but turned
away her head when she . dipped her
pails in the stream, and through all
the miller's .house there was not to
be found a looking-glass. She longed
(ah bow much!) to see herself in her
new garb of beauty; but she remem
bered the old woman's warning, and
conquered her desire.
In the spring-time came her wed
) ding day, and early in the sweet
fresh morning she was married to
Carl, and the ydung flowers peepeil
out tame her fade as she•pamed by,
and the tender mew kissea her feet
as she went along, -and the , birds
sang out a greeting,and even the light
feathery clouds seemed to stoop over
her heed, as if with their 1 feathery
hands they. blessecl her, bridal day.
Ah, happy Elise!
" Thou art so changed I" said CarL
"Thy face is so different from what
it - formerly . was. It does not seem
to me that it is possible thou art the,
game Elise:- I used ' to pass without
even looking back to gaze on thee;
brit to-day in thy bridal vail thou art
n sweetlpicture, which memory will
paint on my heart forever."-
Elise felt herself thrilled' with hap
piness, but never once told the secret
of that change, though she herself
did not know that the : real secret lay
in her own changed nature.
Now, presently, they were all fet
ing, and Elise, longing to be alo e
for a few minutes with_ herr wonder
ful happiness4rept down to the side
of the Rhine, and thought over the
past. ." •
"Ah, and. he said I alp so altered,
too happy Elise, thou art indeed
altered And he .said how pretty I
looked in my bridal "veil..' Do I,'l
wonder? What would I not give to
see myself ?"
Elise was forgetting, as she longed
to see herself, how strict had , been
the old woman's warning. She stood
on the edge of the.., water with her
face turned away, , but her vanity
kept saying to her, '" Look 'once for
a single moment, Elise, and see thy
self on thy bridal day;" but she hesi
tated and and longed, - and wondered
if punishment would Avidly follow if
she looked. "It cannot make any
difference," she thought, and she
moved her head a little way—a very
little way round—till 'she just see the
shape of her head reflected in the
water, and it seemed quite strange
to her, for she had not seen it for so
long. •
" I must, oh, I mast. see the face
iny Carl -loves," she said; and, for
getting the happiness she might lose
in this offering to her vanity, she
turned and , looked at her resection
in the water, and. she 'saw—whatl
the same plain face she remembered
long ago; the same,:the very same,
without one feature altered! .
With a scream of despair she tot
tered forward a step too far and -be
fore she .could recover herself, she
fell into thri - water which had shown
her the dreatlful truth. - The tide
bore her away, an,d; never again was
seen the miller's' daughter—Carl's
young bride. Alas, for vanity !
REGENERATION WITHOUT MEANS.
Owing to the crowded state of our
columns occasioned by the full and
numerous reports of the General
Evangelical Societies, we are con
strained to; insert the following com
munication in this column, and to
give it the attention which it botl in
vites and deserves.
Ma. Enrron:—Ths writer of this desires ' to.
ask the following questions through the medi
um of the Eepiscrpalian,.hoping through the
same to receive answers to them, from any one
who may feel williniao enlighten' the minds of
such as wish for information on the subject of
incluiry, to wit : • '
,L) Should an infant die before attaining a
state of personal accountability, without having
been baptized, would it be Saved or lost?
(2.) Should the answer be, that it would bo
saved, then is such Infant regenerate or nore
generate
,(3,) tinregenerate, can any unregenerate
descendant of Adam, however harmless in
nocent, be fit for the society of heaven?
In order to close the subject we
will try to Answer the questions of
our correspondent. And to the ques
tion marked as the first in order we
reply in the affirmative. We under
stand the scriptures to teach the doc
trine` of infant salvation. Our Lord,
When speaking of the little children,
said " of such is the kingdom of God."
Mark x, 14. And again, "It is not
the will of your heavenly Father that
one of these little ones should perish."
Matt. xviii, 14. And again; "Take
heed that ;ye offend note one of these
little ones, for verily I say unto yOu,
that in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father who is
iniheaven. Matt. xviii, 10.
From these passages, as well as
from the Scriptural revelation of the
nature of atonement •of Christ, it is
the generally received doctrine that
all those of our race whom God has
'decreed to remove from this life in
their infancy are saved by the blood
of phrisk, and taken to heaven. This
vie we have always held ourselves,
and linve endeavored to sustain it
out of the Scriptnres.alone. ~....
The dectrine of our Church is im.
pliedly thksame. It is deduced from
the standar4s,thus. It says distinct
ly that infanta who have been baptized,
\ i;
dying in infa cy, are undoubtedly
saved.: The -brial service is eon
structikl so a , o\be used over, and
to be only apprppriate to; a person
hopefully saved in Christ,and having
"entered into joy rui\l felicity." It
in forbidden to use it atthe interment
of unbaptized adults an suicides, or
of those who die - excon s imunictited.
The inference is, it may be `used over
unbaptized infants. Some 4the ex
pressions in the service are decided
to be inapprepriate to the - former,
because teaching the belief of their
salvation. But they are- all suitable
to unbsptized infants, because, the
belief is that they are all saved by
Christ. , .
" how I
. Second. An answer to the Second
question is that the soul of the saved
infant is and must be regenerated by
the Holy Spirit. Christ, in the third
chapter of St. Jolp, has stated with
o t any'qualifican, "Except a man
born again ho cannot see the king
, ont of God." It is repeated and
spiritually explained, " Except a man
be born of water and the Spirit he
cannot enter the kingdom of Gad."
St. John iii, 3-5. " That which is
born of the flesh;" and ngain "flesh
and blood can net in het it the kingdom
of God."
Hence we believe that all the souls
of those cling in infancy are regen
erated by therSpirit of God, and en
ter, heaven at once, fully and perfect
ly- endowed with the new nature
" which, after the pattern of the Di
vine man, Christ Jesus," is firmed in
righteousness and true holiness.:'
"For without,holiness no man shall
see the Lord." And, seeing all souls
are born in sin; and are dead in sins,.
it follows that they must be regener.:
sited before they can enter heaven.

Third. The' feet question we an-
Inter in the negative, and need hard
ltae up the space to consider it.
Carnal
nature is the same in essence;
is " emnity against, God; it is not
subject to His law, 'ner indeed can
be." , _Rom. viii, 7. That . nature is
net changed by circumstances nor by
any' human cultivation. It ever re
niams 4 ' the degenerate plant of a
strange vine;" - ever " wild grapes
are produced from it, and such it
would remain,and such fruit it would'
only produce if transplanted to the
banks-of the river of Life in the Par
adise orGod. Hence.it must in ev
ery case be regenerated. A new vine,
a neiv plant, a new life mist, be en
grafted upon the old stock, :and that
becomes the true vine that flourishes
and completely supersedes and des
troys the old stock of our Adam—
canal nature. To drop, the inspired
flgtires„ we rematk that hclines, is
essential to the admission to and to
the enjoyment of heaven. • Tnat,holi
ness is not the improvement of carnal
nature. It is not a Church holiness;
it is nothingin man's moral nature
as he comes into this world, nor is it
anything made out of 'that nature:
it is termed a partaking of the Divine
holiness and nature, and is the pe
culiar and entire work of the Holy
Spirit.
We know not what use our incirAir
er may , wish to make of our answers
to his questions. But as far as they
are Scriptural we are desirous that
he may have 'grace not to wrest them.
The doctrine of infant salvation, ne
cessarily connected as it is with in
fant regeneration :in. sanctification, is
utterly subversive of the doctrine of
baptismal regeneration.. The .Scrip
tures plainly show ! that the rite and
ordinance of water . baptism is not the
means of regeneration, for the vast
majority of the race the in infancy,
and being saved, aro regenerated;
hence are regenerated without means.
Foethe only means .revealed is the
truth of the, Word of Ged. And of
such means infants• are not capable;
hence they aro regenerated without
means. Water Baptism is only die
sign of xegeneration, and the seal of
the tree work.of the Holy Spirit per
formed when and where He pleeseth,,
but always in the line of ' covenant
arrangements with the Father and
the Son. Multitudes are signed and
sealed internally; spiritually ; and' so
secretly that it is not a matter of
consciousness-or of conscious experi
ence. But all who will at last be
" . resented faultless before the throne
.of God'eglory with exceeding joy,"
will befound to have been the sub
jects of the renewing power of the
Holy spirit, and thus manifested to
be the solksof God.—Episcopalian.
TEE MART AND TECOWILFACIE.
The true gentleman never lays
claim to that grace through any out
ward manifestation of suavity, but
rather. irom the kindly feelings .which
blosiom in his heart, and overflow, -
anointing the whole character as the
bubbling -spring' 'sends sits cooling
waters bubbling up. from its s inner
depths. Lord Chesterfield was a
shining example of what the true
gentleman is not. He had all the
outward characteristics of a gentle
man, but beneath manners proverbi
al for their elegance were the heart
of a libertine and the soul of a sneak.
He perpetually counselled his son to
sacrifice to the graces. He himself
sacrificed to them manliness, sinceri
ty, and truth. His famous, letters,
once so highly prized as a manual of
deportment, hre the embodiment of
a shallow and false philosophy. The
fallacy that vitiates it is that elegant
manners can be acquired by atten
tion to details, and that a gentleman
can be mado )y rule. But external
graces cannot be fastened on an es
sential boorish nature any more than
yon can put a high polish on a brick.
Chesterfield's o son refuted his
father'_s maxims by his own chronic
incapacity for polish. He may not
have been a booby
,and a cub, 'as he
was contemptuously called, but he,
was destitute of the graces which
were so highly prized by the worldly
earl. This laving; somuch stress up
on externals is one of the shams of
a past age which thelligher wisdom
of the present is rapidly doing away
with. We must feel our superiority
to •the coarse .and rough,„ and not
stimulate it ; The charm of uncon
sciousness and self-reliance, so char
acteristic of the gentleman, is ono of
Nature's fineit gifts to' man, and its
place can never be supplied by the
cunning , trickeries of art, which, in
fact, only label it as the fraud it real
ly is. The peasant may possess it,
tht) peer may toil after it in vain.
WHAT SLEEP WILL calm
' The cry for rest' has always been
louder.than the pry for food: Not
that it is more important,., but it is
often harder to get. The best rest
comes from sound sleep. Of two
men or women, otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the best, will be the
most moral, healtyy, and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irrita-,
bility of temper, peevishness, uneasi
ness. It will cure insanity: It will
build up and make strong . a weary
body. It will do much to cure dys
pepsia. It will relieve. the languor .
'I
d prostration felt by consumptives.
T
I will cure hypochondria. It will
cure the headache. , It will care nett.:
ralgin. It -will care a broken spirit. It
will cure sorrow. Indeed, we might'
make a`karge list of nervous maladies
\
that slee - will . cure.
The cur of sleeplessness, however,
is not,so 'e y , particularly in those
who. carry gr. ve' re.4poneibitities: The ,
haloit, of sleeping well is oue which,
ilbrnken up for\say -length of 'time,
is not easily re cued. Often a 'in , .. , -
yere • illness, irrate:ll by poiverful .
drugs so deranges the nervous sys-,
tem that sleep is never skeet after.

Miss 'Anna E..Dickinsim, delivered
ri.tently the Academy. of Music;
in Philadelphia, her -new lecture, en
titled " Demagogues- and Working-
Men." The immenseibnilding was .
filled to its Utmost eaPacity;, and the
lecture was received with unqualified
approval. Her lecture is in bold
Contrast with the demagogical appeal
of such men' as Wendell Phillips and
(len. Butler. The following.is a brief
synopsis of the lecture; as published
in the Philadelphiia Press
She opened her lecture by showing
bow, in all, itimes and in all cges,
there had been a tendency toward
equality amongst mankind. The
movemept has sometimes stopped,
sorhetimes eved turned backward. It
has had its rests, its battlefields, .its
sleeps, but through .all and above all
it has always gone on. - The strugg =
has been knOwn by different nanis.
It has been between king and ,n le,
serf and lord, and here,-but lately'', in
oar own land, between mu 'r and
slave. Now 'we call it cardt and la
bor.
The reformers eat that/laborers—
that is hand laborers- - --are the 'Work
inr, men of the country, and that
they are pborly paid/ I take issue at
once with this prop6sition that only
hand labbrers are Workingmen; every
man in America' is a- workingman.
The laboring pien here- are :just its
mach thelawyers, the clergymen,
the physiciois, as they are the work-
PM in wood, in coal, or in iron. For
their own private purposes and ends,
the labor reformers foster the spir
it of / discontent that is rife in the
land, and instead of patting the
blame where it rightly belongs,- they
tell us in sarcastic phrase that all the
'trouble arising between master and
man arises from the civili7ation of
the nineteenth century. -
They say that our workingmen are
drifting to a. worse condition than
that of the working men en of England,
- and tiat there is no chance for the
poorere to rise to prominence or
wealth because the rich and power-
ful grind them down. The lectnress
alluded to the strikes in England,
and showed what a differenee these,
was between a §triko amongst the
Newcastle miners, where, they de
prived themselves of food, of cloth
ing, of life itself, to obtain an , ad
xance of eight cents, and here in our
greatest,.the long strike St Albany
amongst the briclonoers, when the
point demanded and carried was for
an advance of a dollar and a half a
day, and while these men were on'
their strike they were kept in abun
dance and plenty by the unions in
other parts of the country.
In the face of this fact, any politi
cian whO says that. ,America Tr-wor
kmen are falling below those of - Eng-
Jand, instills his hearers. The work
men of. Americo are taught to believe
that their relief is to be lOund in leg
islation,. rather thana reliance upon
their own hands' ttnd brains. The
trouble is. that oar land is already
overburdened with legislation, and
that two-thirds 'of oar laws are not
obeyed. - - e
She asserted the shallowness of the
arguments adduced by the coal mi
ners, and that their pay. in reality
averaged more more, than that of
members of the learned professions.
lb() facts of the case are that when
the mine .owners - make money the
miners make money, and :when the
mine owners lose money the miners
continue to make money. So much
for the starvit , miners!' She gave
instances of intimidation and mur
der that' had occurred in the coal re
gions, and then said, " And this is
moral suasion !" She . examined in
detail' the union systems, declaring
that their principles and practice are
wrong and Wicked from beginning to
end, illUstrating this by saying that

right to. demand any_ price for his
goods that he pleased, that be bad

I Want to ask a few questiOns of .
such workingmen as may be° among
my audience;for I am enough of a
liankee to bliefe that I have - ,a mes
sage for the Workingmen, and thus
have a- tight to question there. - The
vvhale„ery, irate one end of the land
to, the other, isfor more skilled labor
and for more men. • Why, then, is_
skilled laborand why are men bar
red - .from coming into , on-, land?
Your law isihat, only 0 certain num
ber of apprentices can be bc - eMploy
'ed. in' union shops, and 'your reason
for this is that apprentices conipete
with you in ,your tjades. Why do
not . members of "ta' liberal profes
sions raise the 'same objections ? A
student of divinity can preach in

yOh, yes," he replied, "I should

you had lost your head," . I said, "how
do vou - think you Wo.ild have manag
ed then ?" I tell yotr, workingmen,
if the head gets more;: t is because it
is worth more. I say, 'hnd I say it
without fear of •contradiction, that
the 'richest men in America are the
hardest-working men, and this is
proved by the facet that - alnabst with-_
