VOLUME 2. The Three Gifts. There wis once a p:or weaver who be came known to the three rich students, who. seeing that the man was very poor, gave him for his house-keeping a hun dred dollars. The weaver wss overjoyed at the gift and resolved on employing it to thcgieat* est advantage; but would first, for a time, feast his eyes on the shining money. He concealed it where no one would think of looking for it, namely, among some old ra# s*. 5 *. One day, while lie was out, a rag.col lector came to the house; and his wife sold the whole bundle of rags for a few pence. Now there was grief of heart when the weaver returned, and his wife, fu'l of joy, showed him the trifle of mon ey she got tor her old rags. When a year had passed the three stu dents came again, hoping to find the weaver in comfortable circumstances; in stead of which they found him poorer than ever, and, on expressing wonder for this, he informed them of his misfortune. After warning him to be more careful in future they gave him another hundred dollars. Now ho thought he would he more prudent, so, without saying a word to his wife, he hid the money in the dust-tub. and this time it fell out just as on the i former occasion. llis wife exchanged the ashes w ih a dustman for two or three pieces of soap, tvhile her husband was just gone out to i carry some work to a customer. hen i he returned, and was told of the bargain i of the ashes, he was so enraged that he ; gave his wife a beating. When another year ha 1 passed the i three students came for the third time ■ and found the weaver in misery. They threw a piece of lead at his feet. . saying,— "Of what use is nutmeg to a cow ? i To give thee money again would prove us to he greater fools than even thou art \ We will never come to you again." i Thcrcu lon they went away in Anger, i and the weaver picked up the piece oft led and laid it on the window "ill S > nil after his neighbor entered the room —he i was a fisherman —bode him good-day. I and said;— "My friend, have yni, pcr han -e, a , piece of let!, or anything heavy that 1 . can use for my net? for I have just now ( noth nt* at hand." I The weaver gave Kim the piece of lead which the students hid left, for which the fisherman thanked him, and promis j el that he should have in return the firs; j fish he naught. "Very well," replied the weaver, '"but it is not worth speak ng about. Soon after the fi«herman actually brought a fine fi-li. weighing four or five j pounds, an 1 obliged his neighbor to ae cent it-, lie inline liitfely cut up the fish. | and found a bright stone in his belly. J This stone the weaver also laid on the j window-sill. Tn the evening, when it;' became dark, the stone began to shine and the darker it grew Iho brighter the t 6tone became, and just like a candle. "That's a cheap lamp,'' said the wcav er to bis wife, "wouldst thou not like to dispose of it as thou did.it the twoliund red dollars?" . And he placed the stone so that it it lu iii iu a ted the whole room. The next evening a merchant chanced to vide past the house, who, on seeing the brilliant stone, alighted An 1 onto,en the room, looked at it.and offered ten dollars for it. The weaver answered, — '■ It is not for sale." '• What! not for twenty dollars?" " Not even for that," replied the wcav er. The merchant, however, kept bid ding and bidding for the stone, till at lasi he offered a thousand-dollars, for the stone was a precious diamond, and really worth much more. Now the weaver struck the bargain, and was the richest man iu the village, llis wife would have the last word, and took much ciedit to herself, saying, "See, husband, how well it was that 1 threw away the money twice, for thou hast uic to thank for this good luck Ssajf- A .Minister who had been reprov ing one of his elders for over-indnlgoucc, observed a cow down to a stream, take a drink, an I then turn away.

The Hindoos burn widows on the funeral pile of their husbands, aud 'we cad them cruel. American Chris tians, with the Bible in their hands, often treat widows with moro refined, but less real cruelty. Dead readers, did you ever speak light ly of widows., and did you ever realize what the word signifies ? A widow ! one who has loved and been loved —once the mistress of a pleasant home where clus tered the richest blossoms of affection, where was music and gladness, one who once had a strong arm to lean upon, a no ble manly heart to sympathize in all her sorrows, and to shield her from every rough blast. Von knew her then; per haps you often partook of the hospitali ties of that home which she adorned How respect filly you were —hove lovely j .she seemed, how lady-like-—she was a wife then —she had a protector. llut days of darkness and sori ow came —her I husband—her earthly all, was laid low. and she. the tenderly nurtured, the "pre cious one," and the joy of that now cold j heart, was a widow ! At first you were j all kindness and sympathy, but days and J weeks, and months wore on,-and you for git your friend—did she forget? No, but she must struggle for bread; she who had always shrunk from any other than household care, must care for busi ness now; she must, bargain with you, and others of yvur sex, or starve. And now you strangely forget those other days and vou are a noble exception if you do not take advantage of her ignorance of business, to make a good bargain for your self to her loss. if necessity compels her to be on the alert against business trickery, then for sooth she is a slrtniij miiiiletl woman, and your bachelor friend is warned against such designing widows! Shame! Shame! w here is your nianlio id, your sense ot rig lit ami justice? on know better; vou know it is almost martyrdom for her to meet you iu the marts of business and to ta k of dollars ami cents; you know ih.it the memory of the past conies upon her with an almost overwhelming sorrow, while, as with culm exterior-, she seems tog lard the tcmpoiiui interest of herself and little ones, you know she is a gentle, true, loving woman, one whom the Lord has afflicted, —one who has too much rea son to think that al/ rettlniuiili>fs*s is b the same re proach. Your wife is not secure; the wile of your friend wis no less b ippy j dial) your own is now; she was no more .-elf reliant, hi more "Strong minded," old even uow she shrinks from contact with the outer world with just as much delicacy; bu' stern necessity heeds no sub womanly feeling.

American Nationality. One of the grandest and most endu ring results of our present war f.r the Union is to bo the establishment of the nationality of the American People.— We are to convince ourselves and the world that wo are one nation. The true i 'ea of republican government is to siit t'ed be forever. Other republics have ecistcd and flourished, but they wore l.mi'ed and partial in their character.— They had n. t the real elements of united strength, and therefore continue. It has remained for the patriots of Ameri ea to establish the fact that a genuine republic can nit only be permanent but universal. The great national struggle through which we arc parsing has developed the following iaot<: First, That a well educated republic possesM* more inherent power than a monarchy. Second, That such a republic as ours in Anicri. a can l>u inaintaiiied in time ol war as well as peace. Third, That the consolidation of the government, by the will of the people is consistent with the sovereignty oi the States. l"y the concurrent operation of these i facts, American nationality has been se cured, and as long as they continue thus to operate, it will be maintained to the end of time. They have shown, beyond all civil, that the gevernmcnt of the pco pie, rightly administered, is the stion gost government on earth, and the on I) government really adapted to the best happiness of nnukind. What, then, is American nationality!' It is the practical elucidation, in the face ol all the world, hostile as welt as friend ly, of the declaration of American Indc pencence. It is forever establishing on ihe pages of history that we arc doing ■ what any nation may of right do." It im proving to al mankind that we are not ii confederation of colonoies; not a union of partners in business, from which any one may withdraw at pleasure;' not a league of States bound together by a treaty, as with foreign lands; out a dis tinct, untted. consolidated nation, in which there is no separation but by revolution and the disruption of the whole. Se cissiott is thus proved to be treason; trca sail is civil war; and ci\ il war must bi put down by the nation, or the nation ceases to exist. In the present gigantic war of the Union to maintain toe Uuion infaet ha s | accomplished nothing else, it has achiev ed wonders in establish.ng these facts. — Ibe republic is seen in the lurid light 01 our vast battla tires as it was never seen oefore. Never had our national flag such ,i significance jis it has now. Never was the United States Constitution so ordain eU to be national as it is by the thundei of our republican camion. Never Was lie Declaration of Independence so illu uiinated as it has been within the last fou. years by the valor ot our army on tin mud and our navy on the sea.

Our readers will be interested bv the following specimen of Or. Ma son's reasoning, on the general sub ject indicated by the heading of this article. That i'linee of Ameriuaii preachers said : '•That religion has infaet Bothinp 'o do with the polities of many wle pi ofcm it. is a mdsneholy truth.— li.it that has, of right , no concern with politic J transactions is quite a new discovery.
