Personal Appearance of Jesns.
Cornelius Gcetulicas, a distinguished-Ws-orr
cal and poetical writer, Roman Consul
the,time of Jesus Christ, thus describes the
personal appearance of the founder of our reli
gion :
“A tall well proportioned man, straight in
statue. and nearly six feet in height; his hair
was the color of new wine from the roots to the
eats, and from thence to the shoulders it curled.
and fell to the lowest part of them : upon - the
crown of his head it parted in two after the
manner of the Nazarenes ; his forehead, was
flat and fair; his eyes were grey, large, and
extremely—lively ; his nose and mouth were
well proportioned : his face was neither round
nor sharp, resembled his . mother's, and was
adorned with a graceful vermillion : his beard
was thick and forked, and of the color of his
- hair, which he wore long, the scissors never
having been used on his head, nor had the
hand of 'any one touched him except that-of
hie mother when he was a child : his neck was
not stiff, nor was his carriage proud ; he stooped
a little with his head ;.his hands were large
and spreading, and his arms were very beau
tiful ; there was an air of serenity in his coun
tenance which attracted the love and reverence
of all beholders ; in his reproofs he was terri
ble, but in exhortations amiable and courteous:
he was never seen to laugh, but often observed
to weep ; gravity. prudence, meekness and
clemency, were strongly depicted iu his coun
tenance."
Stock in Heaven.
A few years ago a poor emigrant fell from a
steamboat on the Ohio river, and was drown
ed, leaving his wife and onexir two small chil
dren, who were on hoard, in fiestitirte and dis
tressing circumstances. On coining into port,
the case was spoken of among a number of
"river men" on the wharf, when one of theta
with characteristic bluntness observed. "Come,
boys, let's take a little stock in heaven," at
the same time taking from his pocket a couple
of dollars as his part of the contribUtion for the
benefit of the poor widow. his example was
followed by others, and a handsome present
was the result of this rough impromptu exhor
tation.. Can we not hope that like the alms of
Cornelius this act came up as "a memorial be
fore God ?" It is,a - ;glorious truth whether our
generous friend of the steamboat understood it
or not, that we are privileged to take stock in
heaven. `•Lay up yourselves - treasures in
heaven," said Christ. 'Tire poor widow who
threw in two mites became a large stockholder,
H . and her certificate is recorded there and here.
Come, let us take stock in heaven.
Sectarian Warfare.
Grattan, the Irish orator, truthfully portrays
the sin and folly of religious bickerings, in the
following eloquent sentences
“No religion can stand if men, without re
gard to their God, and with regard only tp
controversy. shall rake out of the rubbish a
antiquity the obsolete and quaint follies of the
seeprians, and affront the majesty of the
_Al
mighty with the impudent catalogue of their
devices ; and it is a strong argument against
the proscriptive system that it helps to con•
time this shocking contest. Theologian against
theologian, polemic against, polemic, until the
two madmen defame their common parent, and
expose their common religion."

r .• 1110MTAY, JULY 16, 185,5.
There was. a day when Talleyrand arrived
in llavre, hot foot from Paris. It was the
darkeSt hour of the French revolution. Pur
sued by the blood hounds of the Reign of Ter
ror, stripped of every Wreck of property and
power, 'l'alleyrand secured a passage to Amer
ca in a_ship about to sail; lie was'a beggar
and a wanderer to a strange land•to earn his
'bread by daily labor.
"Is there an American staying at your
house ?" he asked the landlord* of the hotel:
"I am bound to cross the water, and would like
a letter to a person of influence in the new
world."
BY RL.QrLST
The landlord hesitated a raiment, then re
plied :
..There is a gentleman up stairs, either froth
America or Britain, but whether an American
or Englishman, I cannot tell."
lie pointed the way. and. Talleyrand, who
in his life was Bishop. Prince and Prime Alin
isicr. ascended. A miserable suppliant he
••i d before the stranger's door, knocked and
enler•ed.
In the far corner of a . dimly lighted room.
sat a man. of some fifty years, his arms folded
and his head bowed on his breast. Front a
window directly opposite. a flood of light pour
ed over" his forehead. His oyes looked from
beneath his downcast brows and gazed-upon
Talleyrand's.face with a peculiar and search
ing expression. His Nee was striking in out
line ; the mouth and chin indicative of an iron
will. Ilis form, vigorous, even with the snow
of fifty winters, was clad in a dark but rich
and distinguished costume.
Talleyrand advanced---stated that he was 'a
fugitive—and under the impression that the
gentleman before hint was an
~A.tnerican, Iw
solicited his kind and feeling offices :
"I ain ..a — wanderer-1m —I - Atn - forced
to fly to the New World, without a friend' or
home. You are an - Anierichn ! (live me then,
I beseech yon, a letter of yours,so that i may
be able to earn my bread. I ant willing to
toil in any. manner—The scenes of Paris have
filled the with suell horror. that a life of labor
would be a paradise to a career of luxury. in
France. You will give me a letter to one of
your friends. A gentleman like idu has doubt
less many friends."
The strange gentleman rase. With a look
that Talleyrand neVer forgot, be retreated
towards Ole door of tae next chamber, his
eyes looking still from beneath his darkened
brow. Ile spake as he retreated backward ;
his voice was full of meaning : •
"I am the only man born in the New World
whci can raise his hand to God and say—l ha ve
not a friend—not one in all America." - --
Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelming
sadness of the look which accompanied these
words.
-Who are you ?" he cried, as the strange
nan retreated towards the next room, "your
mule ?"
My name"—but he replied with a sn►ile
that had more mockery than joy in. its con
vulAive expression—"my name is Benedict
Arnold."
He was gone. Talteyrand sank into a dials
gasping the words—
•• Arnold, the traitor 1"
Thus you see he wandered over the earth
another Cain, with a murderer's mark upon
his brow. Even in that steueed room at
that inn in Havre, his crimes found him out,
and forced him to tell his name—the name the
synonyme of infamy.
The last twenty years of his life are covered
with a cloud from whose darkness but a ferk
gleams of light flashed out upon, the page of
history. .
The manner of his death is not exactly
known. But we cannot doubt that he died
utterly friendless—that remorse pursued him
to the grave, whispering John Andre ! iri his
ear, and the memory of his course of glory
gnawed like a canker at his heart. murmuring
torever :--••'Prue to your country, what might
ypu have been, 0 Arnold, the Traitor !"
' -
Some years ago; Lorenzo Dow—whose ec
centricities arc .a matter of history—in the
course of preaching in.a Southern city, attacked,
with severity, the character of a person who
had just before died. allegit , that his death
was caused his vices. The relations of the
deceased man were indignant, and, commenc
ing a suit against the eccentric Lorenzo, he
was convicted and mulcted in considerable
damages. The following Sunday •after the
trial, he ;Lorenzo) commenced his sermon as
follows:—"There was, we learn from the Tes
tament, a certain rich man who lived, I think,
at Jerusalem, and his
. name was Dives, lie
was clad in robes of purple and fine linen, and
he fared sumptuously every day. That is, he
lived high—or what might be called dissipated.
—Now there was also. I think, in Jerusalem,
a certain beggar named Lazarus, who asked
to be fed only with the crumbs that fell (nom
Dives' table. Ile lay down at the gate of the
palace, but. the rich man would not feed him,
on the coutrary he set dOgs - on him..- So the
poor beggar died, and then his sorrows ended !
for he was carried right up into Abraham's
bosom. Bat, my brethren, you will ask what
became of Dives . ()ear souls, well.
after a while he died—drunk ; i will not, how
ever, say so positively, for I don't know but
he has some relation among Muse who way heor
me, and I maybe prusecutedfOr defamation of

A SWAUP 14:Joixtw.a.—ln 1820 there was a
bill before the Nev York House of Assembly,
in relation to t locality in Delaware county.

An Eccentric Divine.
Sharp Practice by a Schoolmarm.
. The Johnstown (Pa.) 7 ributie has a 'letter
foiind by chambermaid, supposed to. have
been pernied by a young Miss at boarding
school in a neighboring State." One part of
it is too good to lose :
must tell you of an affair of Emma Han's,
that happened last Saturday., young man
who had been paying some attention to her had
agreed to come and pass off for her cousin, and
take her out carriage riding, ender the pretence
that. he *as taking -her to his father's, a few
miles out in the country. But his. father does
not live within -a hundred miles of this.
•«'ell. he came according to appointment,
introduced himself as Emma's cousin, ttnd
_asked to take her home to spend tho afternoon.
Miss Waldron said she had „not the slightest
objection, asked how far it. was, and in what
direction, and told Emma. to get ready to go.
But when Emma was dressed awl ready to
start, Miss Waldron also came down ready
dressed, and said that as their carriage was
large enough for three, she would go arong
with them part of the way, and stop at a
friend's, who lived a short distance from the
uncle that Emma was going to see, and they
might stop for her when they came back in the
evening.—Ofeourse they could do bo better
than'tell her they, woula be glad to have her
go with them, although they would have a
dull time with her along. But—th.cy:.thought
they could make up for it by having a nice
sociable ride alter Miss Waldron 'stopped at
her friend's.
..So off they started in tine spirits, and when
they got three or four miles, they began to ex
pect that every house thy came to would be
the one that Miss Waldron would stop at.
But she didn't stop at any. Finally, when
they had gone some five or six miles, Miss
-Waldron said - te—must_. ha v e_passedike house
by mistake, for they had certainly travelled
twice as far as it was flout town. I3ut, since
they had passed it, she would not trouble them
to turn back with her. but would go on with
Emma to her uncle's and stopjust a minute at
her friend's as they came back. There was
what you might calla tis. and Em. and her
beau could do nothing but drive on. So on
they drove, but driving on didn't drive their
trouble away. At last. when they had gone.
eight or ten miles. he said that the road must
have been changed .in some way. for he had
undoubtedly gone astray, and as they bad gone
so far, and it was drawing late, they would
not have time to find the right way. So they
came back to town, and when Miss Waldron
got out of the cart iage, she told Ern.'s .beau
that when he ascertained how the road had
been changed, she would he very happy to go
along with Emma arty Saturday to spend.an
afternoon at - her - uncle's. Since that we. have
seen nothing of Ein's cousin, and it rill be a
long time before she hears the last of her visit
to her uncle."
fri - Mecting a 'Yankee sea captain a short,

said he bluffly, "of course I was; saw 'cm

all they say. rather a downcast look and heavy
eye like a dying porpoise'; but Eugenie is a

like a clipper ship. II bet she makes Louis

made me laugh, and I felt just like spitting
out of the window to show, my contempt .for
'em. It was a great show tho' for certain.
Passed right by_ my window, and I had a

"And so you saw the Emperor and Empress.

...Yes sir. I saw 'em ihronzia fay boots.—
