ders of the eternal kingdom, ho speaks in
the same calm and determined tone. De
terred by no danger, awed by no presence,
and shrinking from no responsibility, lie
mores before us like some grand embodi
ment of power. •
The nations heave around him, and kings
turn pale in his presence. Bands of eon

and storm of violence, his voice of elf).
(Insilco rises clear and distinct ass trumpet
call, as he still preached Christ and Him
crucified. The whip is laid on his back
till the blood starts with every blow, and
then his mangled body is thrown into a
dungeon ; but at midnight you bear that
same calm voice—which .has shaken the
world, poured forth in a hymn of praise to
God, and lo ! an earthquake rocks the pris
on to its foundations; the manacles full
from the hands of the captives, the bolts
withdraw of themselves, and the massive
doors swing back on their hinges.
One cannot point to a single spot in his
career, where he faltered a moment, or
gave way to discouragement or fear.—
Through all his perilous life, he exhibited
the same intrepidity of character, and lof
ty spirit. With his eyes fixed on regions
beyond the ken of ordinary mortals, and
kindling on glories it was, not permitted
him to reveal, he pressed forward to an it
corruptible•crown, a fadeless kingdom.—
And then his death, how indescribabl
sublime !
Napoleon, dying in the midst of the
midnight storm, with the last words that
fell from his lips a battle-cry, and his pas
sing spirit watching, in his delirium, the
!torn heads of his mighty columns, as they
disappeared in the smoke of the conflict, is
a signal that awes and startles us. But
behold Paul, also, a war-worn veteran, bat
tered with many a scar, though in a spirit
ual warfare, looking back not with alarm,
but transport; gazing not on the earth,
but heaven. Hear his calm, serene voice
ringing over the storms and commotion
of life: "I am dbw ready to be offered and
the tline of my departure is at hand. I
have fought a good fight, I have finished
my course, there is laid up for me a crown
of righteousness." No shouts of the foe
men, nor smoke or carnage of battle sur
rounded hisapirit strugglirs to be free;
but troops of shining angels, the smile of
God, and the songs of the redeemed—those
guarded him and welcomed him home.

A True Hero.
- Paul and JaMes were brothers, ono nine
and the other twelve Years of age. ,They
attended, the same school. James, the
youngest, was ilf-tempered and obstinate,
but muchzbeloyed by Paul: The teacher,
one day, was about to punish James, when
Paul stepped tip and said to him—.
wish-you would punish me, and spare
my role brother."
"My dear Paul," said the teacher, in
surprise, "you are one of my beet boys.r-
You have done nothing to deserve punish
ment. I can not punish you, mrboy,"
"But," said Paul, "I Anil suffer more
to see my brother's disgrace and punish
ment, thau I should from anything you
can do to me."
"Why, Paul," said the tesolier f .:"what
do you mean Y I oan not puttiab you."
"My brother is a little boy, younger than
I am," said Paul. "Pray, sir, allow mete
take all the imnishment. I can bear any
thing from you, sir. Do take me and let
my little brother go."
"Well, James," said the teacher, "what
do you say to this noble offer of Paul r
James looked at his brother, and said
nothing.
"Do let me be punished, and let my dear
brother go," urged Paul:
"Why, Paul," said the teacher, "do you
wish to receive the stripes instead of
James F"
"Jesus gave his back to the smiters,"
said Paul, "and received stripes for the
good of his enemies. James is my broth
er. Oh, sir, do forgive Lim, and let me
be punished."
"But James does not wish me to forgive
Lim," said the teacher: "Why should you
feel so anxious about it ? Does he not de-
nerve correction ?
"Oh, yes sir," said Paul, "he has broken
the rules, and is sullen and willful, and
somebody must suffer. Do take mo and
spare my brother."
Paul threw his arms around his brother's
neck, and wept as if his heart would break.
This was more than James could bear.—
His tears began to flow, and ho embraced
his generous brother.
The teacher clasped both in his arms
and forgave James, for he was more sorry
for Ida conduct than if ha Lad been Punish
ed ten times.
WOMAN'S LOVS.—liow few women have
ever been in love. How few even marry
from election I They marry because they
are asked, and because the marriage is sui
table. It is their vocation to be married ;
parents approve, and they have no other
attachment. Any observant person, living
in society where there is continual marry
ing and giving in marriage, must be struck
with this fact. Cupid's quiver must be
exhausted, or his arrows blunt, as he
pierces few hearts now. I incline to think
that a girl really in love, one who bore the
evident symptoms of the malady, would be
thought very improper. Yet I have often
fancied that there must be a man born in
the world for every woman; one whom to
see would be to love, to reverence, to a
dore : one with whom her sympathil would
so entirely blend, that she would recognise
at once as her true lord. Now and then
these pairs come together, and wo to her
who meets this other self too late 1 Wo
man would be more humble and more
merciful, if they did not, through igno
rance and thoughtlessness, measure the
temptation of others through their owd ex
petience.--litleaniares of a Beauty. by

ORIGIN OP FOOLSCAP.—Every school
boy knows what foolscap paper is, but we
doubt whether one in a hundred that dai
ly use it can tell why it was so called.
When Oliver Cromwell became Protec
tor, after the execution of Charles 1., he
caused the stamp of the cap of Liberty to
be placed upon the paper used by the Gov
ernment. Soon after the restoration of
Charles 11., having .00easion. to use some
paper for dispatches, some of this Govern
ment paper was brought to him. On look
ing at it, and discovering the stamp, be in
quired the meaning of it, aid on being
told, he said, "Take it away; I'll have
nothing to do with a fool's cap."
Thus originated the term Athol), and
which has eines hien applied to a else of
writing paper, usually about 16 by 18. in-
riever told -a' 1.116.1,

What is comosionl called friendship is
no more than a paripiership ; a reciprocal
regard for one another's interests, and an
exchange of good Aces; in it word, a mere

A Gono Oars.—Ludicrous blunders
sometimes occur in cases where ignorant
persons attempt the use of language about
the meaning of which they know noth
ing.
Not long since, while travelling from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati, two rather ver
dant specimens of.the female sex came on
board at one of the landing, who (or the
sake of distinction we will call Mary and
Jane. Now, Mary had rot her eye teeth,
nr, in other words, was acquainted with
the rules and regulations which .govern
genteel society. Jane, the younger, had
never mixed in society many peat extent.
and was therefore in bliiisful ignorance as
to any of the rules which govent refined
society. Her language, too. was only such
as she heard among her rustic associates.
Mary was aware of this fact, and had there
fore cautioned her to observe hbw she
(Mary) acted, and to govern herself ac.
cordingly. Jan* promised implicit obedi
ence. 81tortly after, while seated at the
dinner table, the waiter aimed Mary what

One time in the May that is vanished,
With a heart fall of quiet Joy,
I cradled to deep in my booms
Our toesutifulllue.eyed boy.
Pia thodow of *arrow bad darkened,
ilia young life so suddenly Mir,
For the suns of but two little summers
Had sprinkled their light in his heir. '
The twilight Wei pressing her forehead,
Down deep in the Neel main,
And twat the hulls lay shining
The golden hem 01 her train.
While under the heavy ;teases.
'float swept o'er the dy mg de!, • '•

Was hiding his blushes away.
In the hollows thatrliutple the bill sides,
Our feet till the •iinset had
Where ploks withitheir spikes of red thssmalle

And In the warm lip of the sunbeam
The cheek tat the blush-roes
While the meek pansy gave its white'beents
To the mornuansua love of 11111 wind.
Where the air wee one warble of music.
Of the bird sod the bright.belted bee,
And the .wevee going by liko swill Sooners,
A singing the hoop of the sea.
But now in the dim fell of aiknite,
I took up the boy on my knees,
And sane him to deep with a story
Of the lambs 'math the elteltaring, tram.,

Stood over the rummer's ripe jny,
I beta the lest time to my bosom,
Our beatifol blue eyed boy.
And parting away from his forehead
The rings of a w.mnish gold,
I sang him to sleep with a story

THE WIT 011 A GIRRIIIAN LAWT)II/,—+
There are many stratagems in war, and as
many, it may well be said, in love or law.
We have heard oftentimes how the strata
gems of love have outwitted parental vigi-
Imee, hut we have never hoard of a carte
where law so effectually aided Hymen as
is related in a Bavarian journal. The
story rune to the effect that a young man
of Nuremherg, who had no fortune, re
quested a lawyer. a friend of his. to recom
mend him to a family where there will a
handsome daughter who was In have a
large hint/mt. . The. Lawyer UMW t but
the father of the young lady, who loved ;
money. immediately asked what properly
the young man had. The lawyer said lie
did not exactly know. but he would inquire.
Tile next time he saw his young lriend,
he asked hint if lie Mid any property at
all.
"No," replied he.
•Well," paid the lawyer. "would ynu
puffer any one to cut nfl your nose, if
lie would give you twenty thousand dol
lars for it r
"Not for the world."
"l'is well," replied the lawyer,••l had
a reason for asking."
The next time he eaw the girl's father,
hesaid:
have Inquired about this man'■ cir.
cumstances, He has, indeed, no' ready
money, but he hes a jewel. for which. to
my knowledge, he has heen offered and
refused twenty thousand dollars."
'l'his•indutsd the old father to consent
to tl►e marriage, which accordingly took
place; though it is said that. in the sequel,
he often sheik his head when lie thought of
the jewel.

“The first attempt of Den.fierne at fight.
ing was in the preliminary tnovemrhis!for
the battle of Contreras.. that ostraiirdinory
achievement of General Persifer F. Smith.
During the preliminaries on August 19 th ,
Gen. Pierce's • horse fell with him and
hurt-his leg. ••Thot night, at-1 o'clock.
thole/tiling spirits of the Amerean, army
were actively engaged in the arrangements
for the battle of Contreras. Gen. Pierce
wsi waitrd upon, but he .plesdrd that his
kg-would nor permit hirn'to take part in
that brilliant deed orating, which woir del.
tined to cover all engaged in it with gln.

It was well for the American army tbat
Pander F. Sniith, Riley, Cud welatler and
Shields, and such men were not incurably
given to sudden attacks of sickness.• They
broke throigh all obstructions and gained'
a spleinlid victory. 'The battle was over
Very early in the morning; - lasting _about
20 or 30 minutes, amid the defeat was so
thorough, that Glen. Pierce may be par
doned fur supposing t h at the Mexicans
woad not fight any more that 'day. Un
der this delusion, although -he war too
much indisposed before to command his
brigade, as soon asrhe battle of Confrere's
was over, lie reported himself ready' for
duty. But, unfortunately for -hint, ,th 6

Mon on Gen. •Pieree, and, instead of ta.
king a part in the glorious action, ho was
taken wit/a a fainting fit. He say. :,
"I tell a few yards trim] the severest fire
of die enemy." Before fainting, he seems
to have measured the range of the fire with
mathemadeal precision. He must have
telt, while lying "a few yards from the
fire of the enemy," as Falstaff did at
Shrewsbury ; "Though I could escape
shot free at Concord, Ober , die shot here;
here's no scoring butupon the pate. • •

too. God keep lead out or ins ! I. need

We can almost imagine weeen see Gen.
Pierce, as we have seen Hackett. in Fat
staff, after the • tell of 'Hotspur. peeping
cautiously over the field to see if the storm
of strife wait clearing up. When the het,
tie war loud in its insitnit.and terrible in
ii. carnage, Gen. Pierce most have felt
that his biekisems wag lasting an age,aud he
must have tonged for the moment when it
would be Safe to he in health again.
Whether Gen. Pierce suffered any in
the way 'of ewounirig en the Ilet of August,
the day after the battle of Cherubim:o,We
cannot tell. On the 22nd he formed , one
of the board for s arraeging an armistice, end
went through these labors, for three con
tinuous daya, 'without fainting once.
General Pierce enjoyed good health
during the armistice. On the 12th .of
September he was again in the field. Oil
that day his business was one or minuet's , .
ring merely ; and, ai Mete was no fighting
there was no fainting. General •Pierce
kept up all day. But, alas ! there came
so order to hint to move his brigade, after
dark', under the cover of a long range of
buildings know as Molina del Rey,"which
place,' General Pierce says most expres.
•sively, is immediately -under the guns' of
Chapultepee." This was enough for Gen.
Pierce, tor, notwithstanding lie enjoyed
fine health from the 26th of Aeguat,
throughout the armistice, up to the 12th of
September, and was- well enough to man=
auvre his brigade all the dao of the last
