The Spring Song of a Glad Heart
And why should I he grave and sad,
4 And wear a mournful look,
When nature teaelleth joy 101nr,
From-out her_flower-wroug,ht_booki
\N hen she telleth tne to sing aloud,
And sings hersclr, to :01,4
How music ought, in sweet springtime,
From everything to flow.
liarlt ! hoW the birds are carolling
From the boughs of every tree;
As if rach drop of morning dew
Was a fount of melody.
Hark ! how the bees are murmuring
Over the garden bowers,
Bearing upon their gnnae•like wings
Sweets gifts from all the il.,lwer,s.
lurk! how the ever restless winds
Are singing all about,.
Now whispering low like talcs of love.
Then - burst inThw 4lva - shrud
Hark ! how glad sounds float everywhere
The strainle: ,, s ether through—
And tell me, when all nature sings,
Why should not I sing tool
Look on the blossoms of those trees,
•llow the sunshine smileth bright:
And how each blade of young, green grass,
Seems laugh:ng in the light:
Look, how the newly•opened leaves
Quiver, and gleam, and dance,
As if they were in ecstasies,
At the. merry springs first glance.
Look, how the swill breeze springs to meet
The waves upon the bay,
And how they toss their loam on high,
As they wrestle in their play;
Look how the white and fleecy clouds
Sail smiling o'er the blue;
And tell me, when all nature smiles,
Why should not I smile tou l .
The spirit of the blessed spring
Bid me look up, and see
How she spreadeth beauty everywhere,
On wave, and lawn, and lea.
And so I look,—ohcying quick
Her care-dispelling voice:
And as I look, I deafly love,
And as I lov, rejoice.

General Wayne.
.anthony 11 iayne. a general who fought .
in the American. Revolution, was born in
Chester county, Pennsylvania, in the year
1745. 1-le was educated at.an academy at
Philadelphia. 'flaying served in
. the legis
lature of his Slate, lie raised a company of
volunteers in 1775, and being elected colo
nel, accompanied General Thompson to
Canada. In the retreat from thence he
gained great credit for prudence, and the
Continental Congress made him brigadier
general. He distinguished himself at the
battle of Brandywine, and succeeded in car
rying Stony Point by assault. This place
is about forty miles above New York. It
is a rounded gravelly hill, and was fortified
in the revolutionary war, but was captured
by the British in 1776, and strongly gar
risoned by more than (WO soldiers, comman
ded by Lieut. Colonel Johnson. We can
not do better than to give the interesting ac
count of the recapture of this important post,
written by the Rev. J. N, Mallit.
"A few days before , the 16th of July,
1776, a tall, coininanding personage, moun
ted on a strong charger, was seen on the
eminench above StOny Point. He had a
glass in his hand, and appeared to study the
character of the defenCes with intense inte
rest: Johnson, who was returning the, gaze
of the horseman with his Apy-glass„ turned
to one of his .staff, and remarked that the
apparition on the hill portended no good.
Rumors were afloat about the intretichments,
that the . same tall figure. had been seen,
across theiver on the highest opposite yeti,.
nence the clay before, like a horseman Pain. ;
ted against the sky. A com•boy said that.
this figure was the apparition of Washing 7
ton, and, that it never was seen, excepting
just before q battle
.or a •;114nder-sprin.
But while th'eSe idle rumors flortod round
the, camp, the real Washington, from ob
servationa Initcle,hy. his own eyes', was con
certing a soldier! like plan for its surprise.,
4.0 n, the night of the 16th, two coluritris
of soldiers might haire been seen under the
brow of the eminence in the rear of the fort.
They were. theAtern, silent, thoughtful men,
of New Eng4and. The eagle-eyed Wayne
was at their head ; the .right column was
commanded, by the youthful Major Hull;
the left, was headed by Major Murphy.
And still farther advanced, the noblest post
of all, mood two parties of twenty men enc.h
conmanded li Lieuteatir9s Gibbins and
Knox. Wayne stepped
_from : man to, man
through the vanguardy, and sew/ them silent=.
ly putting in their flims, rind fixing their
bayonets. 7 The two columns now, moved
on towards the - intrendhmepa. 7 ,—one going

"At the first attack on the outposts, a
4 ' —filn
sharp crashing \vas heard, the
the sentinels broke sundenly felt
I darkness, and in a moment, the ..;
I milted nut flariut and thunder, us if , a voles-.
no had been ignited. But it was in vain
fur the fortress. The two! inn, 110‘va veriticr
columns moved on, and met in the c. , inr,
ofilie_ww.k. The British-made lo insnint
surrender to avoid the extermination which
- thventened - them. The Americans had-9S
men killed and wounded ; the loss of the
British was nearly as large,.besides 310 who
were taken prisoners."
1n 17'17. General Wayne was a member
of the convention of Pennsylania, which rat
ified the constitution of the United Stales.
For his service against the Indians and Brit
ish in Georgia. he received from that Slate
the gift of a plantation. In 1702. he was
appointed, by Washington, to take command
of the arty employed against — the Indians
Lou the weskrn frontier, two years after, he
ended.the war by a victory near . llinuti, on
the lakes. Ile died in IWO, and is justly
considered ns one of the greatest generals
of his time.
The Rattle of lloholinden.
The Iser and the Inn, us they floW from
the Alps towards the Danube, move nearly
in parallel lints, and nearly forty miles
apart. As. they approdc.ll -tht! rivet, the
space between tlwin becomes one, elevated
plain, covered chiefly With a sombre, dark,
pine forest—.crossed by ,tiio — roads only—
while the mere country paths, that wind
through it here and there; giVe no space to'
marching columns. Mortal.' had advanced
across this forest to the Inn, where, on the
first of December, he was attacked and forced
to retrace. his steps, and take up his posi
tion on the Etrther side, at the village of
Hohenlinden. I fen., where one of the
great roads debouched front the woods, lie
placed Ney and Grouchy.
The Austrians, in lour massive columns,
plunged into the gloomy wilderness, desig
ning to meet in the open plain of I lohenlin
den, the central column matching along the
high road, while those en either : side made
their way through hmid the trees, as they
best could..
It wasa storiny December morning, when
these seventy thousand inert Were swallowed
from citht in the dark defiles uf
Hohenlin
den. The day before it had rained heavily
and, the roads were almost impossible ; but. I
now a furious snow-storm darkened.the hea
vens, and covered the ground With one white
unbroken surface. The by-paths were. blot ;
Led out, and the sighing pines otierhead
drooped With their snowy .burdens above
the ranks, or shook them down nn the heads
of the soldiers, as the artillery wheels smote.
against their trunks. It was a strange spec
tacle, those long, dark columns, out of sight '
of e.ach others stretching through the dreary
forests by themselves; while the falling ,
snow, sifting over the ranks, made the un
marked way still more solitary. The soft
and yielding mass broke the tread 'of the
advancing hosts, Niqiile the artillery, and
aturnunition and baggage wagons, gave
forth a muffled sound, that seemed prophe
tic of some Moo rofitl catastrophe. The cen
tre column alone Lad a hundred cannon in
its train, while behind them were. five hun
dred wagons—the whole , closed up by the
sloe/ moving cavalry.
Thus marching, it came at about nine
o'clock upon Elohenlinden, and attempted to
debouch into the plain ; when Grouchy fell
upon it with such fury that it was forced
back into the woods; In a moment the old
forest was alive with echoes, and its gloomy.
recesses illtnninnted with the blaze of
Grouchy, Grandjenn and Ney, put
forth incredible eflbrts to keep this immense
force from deploying into the open field.
The two former struggled with the
. energy.
of desperation to hold their. ground ; and al
though the soldiers could not see the enemy's
lines, the storm was so thick, yet they aimed
rtt the flashes that issued; from the =rids,.
and thus the two armies fought. The pine
trees were cut in two, like reeds, by the ar
t tiller}',and .fell with a crash on the Austri
an ,ciitnrins, while, the fresh fallen snow
turned,red with Bowing blood. In the mean
time, Richenpausewho had been sent by
a eircuitous.route, with a single division, to
attack the enemy's rear had accomplished
hi s m issip, „Though his division had been
cut in,two, and irretrievably separated by
the Austrian left wing, the brave General
continued to advance, and, with only .three
hundred men, fell boldly op forty thousand
rAustrians. As soon as Moreau heard the
sound'of his,catinen through . the forest, and
the alarm it spread amid the enemy's ranks,
he ordered.Ney, , and G rouchy to chute full.
on the Austrian .centre. Checked, then'
overthrown. the broken. Austrian (tannin
was rolled hack in disordef, and utterly.. rod
ted. Campbell, the poet, stood in a tower,
and gazed on this terrible scene, and in the
midst of then fight. composed, inpart, that
stirring ode which is .known - tat far as the
English language is spoken.. ,
The depths of the . fOrest .swallowed the
struggliati hosts .from sight, but still there
issued forth frorOts bosom shouts and yells
Mingled With that bonder of cannon, and
all the confused poise of batth. The A
trians Were utterly routed, and the frighten-
NUMBER 10.
ed cavalry went plungiarr throti - kh the crowd
of fugitives into the woods—the artillerymen
cut their traces, end, leaving their guns be
hind, mounted their horses and galloped
away—and that magnificent column, as if
sent by some violent explosion, was hurled
in shattered fragments on every side.' For
miles, the whlte ground was sprinkled ,with
&al bodie, mid when - the - battleleftAlm
forest, and the pine trees stood balM rind
lent in the Wintry night, piercing cries and
groans issued out of the gloom in every di
rection—sufferer answering sufferer as he
lav and writhed on the cold snow. Twen•
tv thomuind men were scattered there amid
the trees, while broken carriages end wa.
Runs, and desetted Rims, spread a perfect
wreck around.
Hest of flue Sabbath.
Whu ther v look at the Sabbath as n da}•
of rest for the common toils of life, or as
Jay hallowed and consecrated to the tvot•-
ship of t lutl, we are alike struck, with the.
wisdom aiiti mercy of Cfotl dispin}•ed in this
institution. Man and I t cast require relaxa7
1-tiom-that,the-ener iescs tended Lin the labor
of six days may be renewed, and each pre,
pared for the efforts of another week. NO
doubt remains but that our physical nature
tan accomplish more in the space of a year's
toil, by resting one-seventh portion of our
time,• than if the whole seven days were
employed. , And then it forms a, kind of
holiday period to which the mind .Tools for-.
ward as a pause in the busy scenes of life.
and gives relief even by anticipation. On 9
constant unbending , round would so weary,
body an,d mind ns to render toil intolerable,
and make the hours to a laboring man bur
densome and gloomy.
But look at the Sabbath ns a day of wor
ship. The very idea of going to the house
of -prayer ‘vith equipage .neat and clean,
suitable to a decent Worship of the God of
older, promotes civilization and tends great,
ly to preen note the health and happinoss.or
those who live in Christendom. And,theric
the verrfaCt : that,the mind is coiled off:TrOfril
earthly pursuits.and directed to thosesub,.
Sects that are of a holier character, haS'
tendency, to elevate the thOughts andlee&.
inga of our natirre, and cannot fail to sublk"
mate and refine society. With what, cheer,
fulness does .the mind of the devcart worl
shipper address itself to its weekly task, a&
ter the rest of the Sabbath and the devout
exercise of tvorship in. God's hOIY sanctua
ry. Viewed in every light, goodness add
wisdom ore.displayed in the institution ,of
the. Sabbath, and he is both ungrateful and
profane who disregards the law, of, God,:
commanding him to rest and keep the Sab
bath day holy.

Resurrection is our hope—our 'hope In
