THE TREE THAT NEVER FADES
A STORY FOR CHILDREN
"Mary," said George, "next summer I
will not have a garden. Our pretty tree
is.dying, and I won't love another tree as
long as I live. 1 will have a bird next
summer, and that will stay all winter."
" George, don't you remember my beau
tiful canary bird, and it died in the middle
of the summer, and we planted bright Ilow 7
ers in the ground where we buried it
4,l„third did not live so long as the tree."
We don'tsee we can love anything.
Little brother died before the bird, or tree,
or flower. Oh, I wish we could have
something that wouldn't die."
"George, let us go into the house. I
don't treat to look at our tree any longer."
The day passed. During the school
hours, George and Mary had almost for
gotten that their tree was dying ; but at
evening as they drew their chairs to the
table where their mother was sitting, and
began to arrange the seeds they had been
from day to day gathering, the remem
brance of their tree came upon them.
"Mother," said Mary, "you may give
those seeds to cousin i John ; I never want
another garden."
" Yea," added George, pushing the pa.
pets in which he had carefully folded them
towards his mother, "you may give. them
all away. If I could find some seeds of
a tree that would never fade I should love
to have a garden. 1 wonder if thereever
was such a garden, mother 1"
" Yea, George, I have read of a garden
where the trees never die."
“ A real garden, tuother 1”
Yes, my son. In the middle of the
garden, I have been told,, ltere runs a pure
river of water, clear as crystal, and on each
side is the tree of life,—a tree that never
fades. That garden is Heaven. There
you way love, and love forever. There
'wdl be no death, no fading there. Let
your treasure be the tree of life, and you
will have something to which your hearts
can cling, without fear, without disappoint
ment. Love the. Saviour here and he will
prepare you to dwellln those green pas
tures, and beside those still waters."

UNIVERSAL EDUCATION.
BY HORACE GREELEY.
Universal Education ! Grand, inspiring
idea I And shall there come a time when
the delver in the mine and the rice swamp,
and the orphans of the prodigal and the fel
on, the v* 'xlffering of shame, shall be
truly, sy,itopuatically educated ? Glorious
consumtnittion twilight ofo the milleni
urn ! Who will not labor, aid court sa
cri6cra, and suffer reproach, if he may
hasten,by dean stionucti as tr day, its bles
sed coaling Who will not take courage
itum.lbe contemplation of what the last
.century has seen accomplished, if not in
absolute results, yet in preparing the ap
proaches, in removing- impediments, in
correcting and expanding the comprehen
sion of the work to be done, and of the
feasability of doing it. Whatever of evil
and of suffering the future may have in
store for ue, though the earth be destined
yet to be ploughed by the sword, and fer
tilized by human gore, until rank growths
of the deadliest weeds shall overshadow it,
stifling into prematnre decay every plant
most conducive to health or to fragrance
—the time shall surely come when true
and universal education shall dispel the
dense night of ignorance and perverseness
that now enshrouds the vast majority of
the human race : shall banish evil and
wretchedness almost wholly from the
earth, by removing or. unmasking the mul
tiform temptations to wrong-doings ; shall
put an end to robbery, hatred, oppression,
and war, by diffusing widely and thor
oughly a living consciousness of the broth
erhood of mankind, and the sure blessed
ness, as well as righteousness, of doing ev
er as we would have others to do to us.—
"Train up a child in the way ho should
lio, and when he is old he will not depart
from it." Such is the promise which en
ables us to see to the end of the dizzy whirl
of wrong and misery in which our race
has long sinned and suffered. On wise
and systematic training, based on the wi
dest knowledge, the truest morality, and
tending ever to universal good, ns the on
ly assurance of special or personal well
being, rests the great hope of the terrestri
al renovation apt) elevation of man.
Not the warrior, then, or the statesman,
nor yet the master worker, as such, but
the teacher, in our day, leads the vanguard
of humanity. IVhether in the seminary
or by the wayside, by uttered word or
1 printed page, our true king is not he who
best directs the siege, or sets his squad
rons in the field, or heads the charge—but
he who ran and will instruct and enlight
ens his fellows, so that at least some few
of the generation of whom he is shall be
wiser, purer, nobler, for his living among
them, and prepared to carry forward the
,work, of which he was an humble instru
ment, to its far grander and loftier con
summation. Oh, far above the conquer
or of kingdoms, the destroyer of hosts by
the sword and the bayonet, is he whose
tearless victories redden no river and whi
ten no plain ; but ho who leads the un
derstanding a willing captive, and builds
his empires not of the wrenched and bleed
ing fragments of subjugated nations, but
on the realms of intellect which ho h ,
discovered, and planted, and peopled with
beneficent activity and enduring joy !
The mathematician who, in his humble
study, undisturbed as yet by the footsteps
of monarchs and ministers, demonstrates
the existence of a planot,before unsuspect
ed by astronomy and unobserved by the
telescope ; the author who, from his hum
ble garret, sends forth the scroll which
shall constrain thousands upon thousands
to laugh or weep at his will; who topples
down a venerable fraud by an allegory, or
crushes down a dynasty by an epigrani,
he shall live and reign over a still increas
n g dominion, when the pasteboard kings,
whose steps are counted in court circulars,
and timed by stupid buzzes, shall have
long since mouldered and been forgotten.
To build out into chaos and drear vacuity ;
to render some corner of the primal dark
ness radiant with the presence,of an idea;
to supplant ignorance by knowledge, and
sin by virtue, such is the mission of our
age, worthy to enkindle the ambition of
the loftiest, yet proffering opportunity and
reward to the most lowly. To the work
of universal enlightenment be ',cur lives
henceforth consecrated, until the blick
clouds of impending evil are, irradiated, and
dispersed. by the full effulgence of the di
vinely-predicted day when "All shall know
the Lord, from the leaetuntii - thgreatest,"

A SOLDIER'S FIRST DUTY.
NAPOLEON. AND THE SOLDIER.
A French iteran, with one arm, wits
seated before the door of his neat cottage
one pleasant evening in July. lie was
surrounded by several village huts, who
with one voice entreated him to commence
his promised story. The old man took
his pipe from his mouth, wiped his lips
with therback
, I .;s remaining hand, and
began thus t
In my time, bays, Frenchmen would
have scorned to fight with Frenchmen in
the 'street as they do now. No, 'no;
when we fought it was for the honor of
France, and against her foreign enemies.
Well, my story begins on the Bth of No
vember, 1812, a short time after the bat.
Ile of Wiazma. We were beating a re.
treat, not before the Russians, for they
kept at a respectable distance from our
cantonments, but before the biting cold
I of their detestable country, more terrible
to us than Russians, Austrians, and Bava
rians together. For the last few days,
our officers had been telling us that we
were approaching Smolensk°, where we
should be sure of finding food, fire, brandy
and shoes; but in the meantime we were
perishing in the ice, and perpetually liar
assed by bands of Cossack riders.
" We had marched for six hours, with.
out pausing to draw breath, for we knew
that repose was certain death. A bitter
wind hurled the snow4lakes against our
faces, and now and then stumbled over the
frozen corpses of our comrades. No sing
ing or talking ! Even the gru:nblers
ceased to complain ! and that was a bad
sign. I walked behind my captain ; he
was a short man, strongly built, rugged
and severe, but brave and true as his own
sword-blade. We called him Captain
Positive ; for if once he said a thing, so it
was—no appeal—he never changed his
mind. He had been wounded at Wiazma,
and his usually red face was now quite
pale ; while the pieces of an old white
handkerchief which he had wrapped round
Ins legs were soaked with blood. I saw
him first move slowly, then stagger like
a drunken man, and at last he fell down
like a block,
Marldeu I captain," said I, bending
over him, " you can't lie there."
" You see that I can, becaase I do," he
said, pointing to his limbs.
" Captain," said I, " you musn't die
" and raising him in my arms, I
managed to place hint on his feet. He
leaned on me, and tried to walk ; but in
vain : he fell once more, dragging me with
him.
" John," said he," "'lie all over here.
Just leave me and join your column as
quickly as you can. Ono word before
you go. At Voreppe, near Grenoble,
lives a good woman, eighty-two years Old,
my—my mother. Go to see her, embrace
her, and tell her that—that—tell her what
ever you like, but give her this purse and
my crass. That's all."
" Is that all, captain 1 "
" I said so. Good by, and make haste."
" Boys, I don't know how it was, but I
felt two tears freezing on my cheeks."
No, captain," cried I, " I won't leave
you :--either you shall go with me, or I
will stay with you."
" I forbid your staying."
" Captain, you might just as well forbid
a woman talking."
" If I escape, I'll punish you severely."
44 You may place me under arrest then,
but just now you must let me do as I
please."
" You are an insolent fellow."
'• Very likely, captain; but you must
come with me."
4. Ile bit his lips with anger, but said no
more. I raised him, and placed his body
across my shoulders like a sack. You
may easily imagine that while bearing
such a burden I could not move as quickly
as my comrades. Indeed, I soon lost
eight of their column, and could perceive
nothing but the white silent plain around
me. I moved on, and presently there ap
peared a band Cossacks galloping toward
me, their lances in rest, and shouting their
fiendish war-cry.
.. The captain was by this time in a.
state of total unconsciousness ; and I res
olved, cost what in might, not to abandon
him. I laid him on the ground, covered
him with snow, and crept under a heap of
my dead comrades, leaving, however, my
eyes at liberty. Soon the Cossacks retch
ed us, and began sulking with their lances
right and 'left, While their horses trampled
the bodies. Presently • one of these rude
beasts placed his foot on my left arm and
crrutthed it in plecet,,..—ttoys, I did not aay
t :word, I did'not move, ttave to thrust
my right hand into lily [Doti* to keep
down the cry of torture ; and in a few
Winkle the Cossacks dispersed.

But Smith sometimes packs his razors
&a., up, and delivers a temperance speech,
and here is one of then% :
"Some folks say that it is right to drink
alcohol, because it is a good - creature of
God. Well, grant that it is so; so is cas
tor oil, and so is vinegar a good creature of
God; but it that a sufficient-msen fora
person to drink it three, four, or a dozen
times a day? A dog ire good creature of
God ; but suppose a dog gets triad, and
bites a man or a woman, would you let
him alone because: l 'as you say, he Wass
good creature? Would you be satisfied
with cutting off his ear, or his„tail; or
would you knock him on the head, and
pitch him headlong into the street? Now,
alcohol,is more than a mad dog, fora bite
from a mud dog only destroyslife, while
a bite from achy destrOys reason, repu
tation, life, and every thing else, besides
dragging down the family of the bitten
man to poverty and want.
: , But alehy doson't bite a mouthful, at
I first. When he first snapped at me, lie
only tickled me a little, I liked it first rate,
and was anxious to get another and still
another bite. The old rascal of a tyrant
kept nibbling away at my heels as though
he didn't mean to harm me, while I, like
a poor fool, kept coaxing him on, until at
last he gave me a snap in earnest, and took
the elbows right cut of my coat I Next
he took the crown off my hat, the shoes
off my feet, the money out of my pocket,
and the sense out of my head, until at last
I went raving mad through the streets,
perfectly a victim of althiphaia. But I
signed the pledge and got cured; and if
there is any man whO his been bitten sa
I was, let him take this tetotal medicine,
and I'll warrant him a speedy . cure.
“But allowing alcohol is a goodeireature
of God, are there not other good treater**,
too, such as beef,, pork, puddings, pin,
clothes, dollars, and filly others of 'the
same sort?' Now, shall a man cling to

all this is done as it should be (it ought to

trouble with it, for by fly time in the

dried on the outside that flies or bugs will
not disturb it.
Curing bacon is a little like the Irish•
man's mode of making punch. He said,
"put in the sugar, then fill up with whiskey,
and every drop of water you put in after
that spoils the punch." Just so with cu•

put about it "spoils" the bacon.
