At the end of his conference with his

the Captain conferred with his princi.;

Finally, it was formally agreed be
tween the contending parties that a
statement would be drawn up in writing,
whereby principal No. 1 tendered the
assurance that theoffensivewords; "You,
are a liar," were not used by him in
any personal sense, but solely as an
abstract proposition, in a general , way,
in regard to the matter Of fact under dis

The principals shook hands, first • with
each other next with the seconds, 'and
were evidently very glad to getout of it.
'"And now that it is' happily set
tled, said the Doctor' chhckillig, 'and'
rubbing his hands, " It, proves to have
been a lucky mistake, atter all, that we
brought the wrong valise. Wonder
what the lady who owns it will say,
when she opens ours and' finds the

"Very well for you to laugh about,"
growled the Captain," but it is no joke
for me to lose my pistols. Hair trig,
gers—best English make, and gold
mounted. There ain't, a finer, pair of
shouters in America."
"Oh ? - we will find them. ,'We All go

took notes of Where they were sent, and

lime they reached the Continental, and
as luck would have it, met the unhappy

"What's the •ineaning of .all this?"
inquired the Captain.
'Oh, a couple,of burglars, caught

131 ;. JAMES PARTON.
'One of the happiest men, and on of
the most interesting characters we gave
bad in America, was John Jaitries
AVdubep, the celebrated painter Old
'biographer of American birds. He Was
due of the few men whosepursuits were
in accordance with his tastes and his
talents'; 'and, besides this, he enjoyed
almost•every/ other facility which falls
to the 'lot of a mortal. , •
His father was a French admiral, who,
about the middle of 'the last century,
emigrated to Louisiana, whertl he pros
pered and reared a family. His distin
guished son was born in 1780. While
he was still a little boy, he Showed a re
markable interest in the beautiful birds
that flew about This father's stigar plan
tation, particularly the mocking-bird,
Which attains its greatest perfection in
that part of Louisiana. He soon had
a conaiderable collection of living birds ;•
wind ho tolls us that his first attempts to
draw and paint were inspirea
desire - to preserVe a memento of 'the
beautiful plumage of some of his birds
that die. In delineating his feathered
friends he displayed so much talent
that, at the age of fourteen, his father
took him to Paris, and placed him in
the studio of the famous painter, David„,
where he neglected every other branch.
of art except the one in which he was
destined to excel. David's forte' was in
painting battle-pieces ; but his pupil
was never attracted to pictures of that
kind, and he occupied himself almost
exclusively in painting birds. At sev
enteen, he returned to Louisiana and
resumed, with all his former ardor; his
favorite study.
"My father," he says, iri one of his
prefaces, " then made me a present of a
magnificent farm - in Pennsylvania, on
the banks of the Schuylkill, where I
married. The cares of a household, the
love which I bore my wife, and the birth
of two children, did not diminish my
passion for Ornithology. An invincible
attraction drew me toward the ancient
tofests of the American continent, and
many years rolled away while I was far
front my family."
To facilitate his design of studying
birds in their native woods, he removed
his faniily to the village of ,Henderson,
upon,' the banks of the Ohio, whence,
for fifteen years, he made excursions
into the forest with his portfolio, rifle
and gaining-hag.
From the great lakes to the extremest
points of 'Florida—from the Alleghe
nies to the_ prairies beyond the Missis
sippithrough impenetrable forests, in
canebrakes, almost impassable, and on
the boundless prairies, he sought foi
new varieties a birds, copying- . them of
the size of life, and measuring every
pert with the I, utmost nicety of mathe-
Males. Up with the dawn and ram
bling about all day, he was the happiest
men if he returned to his camp in
the - carrying in his game-bag a
:new specime • li which to enrich his
Collection. He had no thought What
ever of publishing his pictures.
!: It. was no desire of glory," ,he as
sures' us t "Which led me into this ex
ile—l Wished only to enjoy nature."
After fifteen years of such a life as
this, he paid a visit to his relations in ,
Philadelphia, carrying with him two
hundred of his designs, the result of his
laborious and perilous wanderings: Be
ing obliged to-leave Philadelphia for
some weeks, he left these.in a box at the
house of one of his relations. On his
return what was his horror and despair
to discover that they were totally de
strayed by fi re. , •
" A . poignant flame,'' . he remarks,
" pierced my brain like an arrow of fire,
and for several weeks I was prostrate
with fever. At length, physical and
moral strength awoke within me.—
Again I took my gun, my *game-bag,
and portfolio, and my, pencils, and
plunged once more into the depths of
my forests. • Three years passed before
I had repaired the damage, and they
were three years of happiness. To com
plete my work, I went every day ftir
ther from the abodes of men. Eighteen
months rolled away, and my object was
accomplished."
During his stay in Philadelphiasin
-1824, Audubon became acquainted with
Prince Lucien Bonaparte, who strongly
urged the naturalist to publish his de
signs., This, however, was a work far
too expensive to be undertaken hi Amer
ica alone.' He proposed to issue several
volumes of engravings colored and of
life-size, with other volumes of printed
descriptions. The price of the work
was fixed at , a thousand dollars. Before
he had obtained a single subscriber, he
set his engravers to work and proceeded
to enlist the co-operation of the wealthy
Men of England and France. He was
received in Europe with great distinc
tion, and obtained in all one hundred
and seventy subscribers, of whom about
'eighty were Europeans: While the
first volume was in course of prepara
tion, he returned to America, and spent
another year in ranging the forests to
add to his store. In 1830, the first voi
nme'of his wonderful work apPeaied,
I=
~~ ~~• , ,~11,,
AUDUBON
F ; i
<l. N
consistin ' of a 'hundred colored plates
and repr suiting .ninetly-nine varieties
of birds., The volume excited enthusi
asm wherever it was received. The
king of France and king of England
inscribed their names at the head' of his
fist of subscribers. The principal learn
ed societies of London and Paris 'added.
Audubon to the number of their mem
bers, and the great naturalists envier,
Humboldt, Wilson and others, joined
in a chorus of praise.
The work, which consists of four }vol
umes of engravings and five of letter
press, was completed in 1839. For the
latter, volumes, he again passed' three
years in exploration, and, at one time,
was enabled to study the birds on the
coast of Florida, in a vessel 'which the
goverziment of the United States had
placed at his disposal. Returning tb
Now York, 'he purchased a beautiful
,residence on the shores of tho Hudson,
near the city, where he preparedifor the
press an edition of his great work upon
smaller paper in seven volumes, which
was completed in 1844.
Many New Yorkers, remember that
nbout that time he exhibited in that
city a wonderful collection of his origin
_al drawings, which contained several
'thousands of animals and birds, all • of
which he had studied in their native
homes, all drawn of the size of life by
his own hand; and 4;01 represented with
their natural foliage around them. •
Ho was now sixty-five years of age,
but his natural vigor appeared to be in
no degree abated. Parke Godwin, who
,knew him well at that time, described
him as possessing all the sprightliness
arid vigor of a young , man. He was
tall and remarkably . well formed, and
x
there was in his uritenance a singular
blending ~of inn 'i
ence and ambition.
His head was c eclingly remarkable.
• ".The forehead high," -says Mi!.'God-
Win, " arched and unclouded ; thehairs
of the brow prominent, particulg g,
ly at
the root of the nose., which' iv long
and acquiline ; chin prominen ~ and
moutheharacterized by energy and de
termination. .The eyes were dark grey,
set deeply in the • head, and as restless
as' the glance of an eagle." His' man
ners 'were exceedingly gentle, and shis
-conversation full of point and spirit..
Still unsatisfied, he undertook ii his
old age a new work On the quadrupeds
• • America, for which he had gathered
Much material in his various journeys.
Again he took to the woods-7-accoMpan-•
led however, now by his two sons,
Victor and John, who had inherited
Much of his talent and zeal.
Returning to his home on the banks
of the Hudson, he proceeded leiturely
to prepare his gatherings for the press,
assisted always ,by his sons, and other
friends. " Surrounded," he wrote z " by
all the members 'of my dear family, en
joying the affection of-numerous frieiids,
who had never abandoned me, and, pos
sessing a sufficient share of all that con
tributes to make life agreeable, I lift
my grateful eyes tO'svard the Supreme
Being, and feel that I am happy."
He did not live to complete his work
upon the quadrupeds. -Attacked •by
disease in his seventy-first ygar, which
was the year 1851, he died so peacefully
that it was more like going to siqep than
death. His; remains 3vere burled in
Trinity Cemetery, which adjoins his
residence.
His sons, it is said, have continued
the labors of their father, and, design
one day to publish' the work on the
quacfrupade .N 7f Mr. A udu
-1?.on also left an autobiography, which,
perhaps, may see the, light. Besides
his eminent talents as in artist, Audu
bon was a vigorous and picturesque
writer. Some paOsagesof his descriptions
or the habits a birds, are among the
finest pieces of writing yet produced iii
America, and , have been made famil
iar to the public through the medium of
the school-reading books.

BY RORACE .QBEELEY.
I PRESUME half the good sermons
ever yet preached might have had for
their text, The fool bath said in life heart
there is no Giod." In that foolish, blind
presumption lurks the impulse to every
wrong, every transgression. -Men gener
ally admit, in •a listless, soulless way,
that the universe, this world, and all
who live in it, are the subjects of Omnis
cient moral sway ; but scarcely one in a
dozen "in his heart" believes it: If all
did believe it, how could there, be hypo
c in the church, libertines by the
fanntily-hearth, or 'villains anywhere?
Plow, could there ever be robbtirsi in the
mountain-pass, wreckers on the peril
ous coast, or slaves on the stormy main,
c if men 'really and heartily believed in
the existence and rule of an all-seeing,
omnipotent God?
Every' age l every nation develcro.
some vast wickedness. Intemperance,
LeWdness, Gambling, and a hundred'
i
other m nifestations of man's proneness
to evil appear and disappear like
physica nidemics ; hardly is one erupt-,
ion of evil crushed when another tip
plers and begins to run its measured
raknid. If I were called to say. what
crime is' to-day most fearfully prevalent
among us, I should indicate the de
struction of unborn children.
I speak not here of.the murder of in
nocents, the children of lust and sin, .
and whose destroyers have the wieich
ed excuse of seeking to preclude dis
grace and shame. Guilty as these mi.;
questionably hre, they are not so crim
inal in the sight of Heaven as are the
married pair who conspire to . blast the
germs of offspring in the mother's womb,
and thwart the beneficent command , to
increase and-multiply given 'to the pro
gen itorirof our race. If there be a crime
more dastardly and unnatural than all
others, surely It is this.
Of course, excuses Or apologies have
been. invented for this, as l for other va
rieties of murder. ' The parents are'too
poor to rear more children on their scan
ty means; the mother's constitution is
too feeble to endure the trials of child
bearing and nursing, etc., etc. The
first of these, if valid at all, will justify
the killing of the child born last March
as well as that of the child to be born ,
next Novernber ; ..the second is. a direct .1
impeachment of the Divine economy,
and a proclamation of disbelief in the
Divine assurance, " As thy day só shall
thy strength be:" In, short, there is no
palliation for any sort of child-murder
which is not. eSsentially Atheistic—a •
repetition of what " the fool bath said
in his heart:"
Itlias for:years been noted that our
old New England element is ,less pro
lific than formerly—that families of six
to eight children are as infrequent as
those of ten to twelve were two or three
generations back. It is further noted
that wir immigrant population de not
share in this sterility—that' our Irish
born neighbors have more children to
,the family than their Yankee neighbors.
I learn that'the Roman Catholic priests
are to a considerable exteti t, to be credited
with this disparity—that; having had
their attention called to the diminution
Of births among -us, they have discussed
its reasons, and systeinatically applied ,
themselves to guarding their flocks
from the contagion. I believe it- is
generally, through the confessional and'
otherwise, enjoined on married Cathoz
lies that they, under no circumstances
and onno pretext whatever, conspire
againstithe lives of their unborn chil
dren.
Shalk not Protestant pastors be = in!.•

not every settled clergyman preach
pointedly against the crime in question ?
Is any in doubt as to its existence? Let
him.confer .with two or three popular
physicians, and he will doubt no longer.
Nay.: he will be.astounded brtheir tes

REMARKS
It is auspicious that some of the prsss
are using their influence to stop this
spreading abomination - alluded to, the
destruction of the fruit of the womb. •
We arp sorry to think that .invitations
to this unnaturalcrime are constantly
presented in the advertisements of pat
ent medicines, under the name of Fe
male Pills; some of which'. lwe cannot •
but suspect, disclose their seal purpose,
in the caution,
"not to be used during
pregnancy."pregnapcy. We think •it is.time the f
press refused to become a party to thej
circulation of these things ,by, advertis
ing them ,• and some of our druggists by'
selling what We fear are so often tiled
for such unholy purposes. See 1
Timothy 5 : 14 with chapter 2: 15 of the
same.
This is hot a question merely of ier
ligion. True, child-murder is violation
of God's law, " thou shalt not kill; and
he will, one day, " make inquisition
for blood." - It is a matter of public
morality, and if our land is thus defiled
with blood We, may expect temporal , .
judgments asia people. But 'for those
who care for (none of these pings, it
may be, well to say that, happily for the!
country there is a law of the land which
metes out some penalties to this crime
of abortion. ,It behooves persons to be- -
ware how they become accessary to the
crime, legally or morally', by aiding,
advising or even concealingpit. The
tract, called for by Mr. Greeley has
been published by the American Medi
cal AssociatiOn, called, " Why not"
Setting forth tire fearful results of this
unnatural crime on the mind and body ;
and it deserves an extensive circula
tion. • B.
CLERICAL ANECDOTE.—The Rev.
Samel Clawson, a Methodist preacher
of eccentric manners, sometimes called
the " ild man, " was- very popular in
West ri Virginia some twenty years
ago. e was cross-eyed and wiry made,
than.
At.ry dark skinned for a white an.
l i
At. ti les he was suprlsi 4 . ,elequent,
11 ,
al Ways excitable, and ofecllgoually ex
travagant.. He once accompanied •a
brother minister, Rev. Mr. .R., a prom
inent pastor, in a visit to a colored
church. Xer. R. gave - the .colored
preacher the hint, and, of course, Claw
son was invited to preach. He did so,
and during the sermon set the impul
sive Africans to shouting, all over the
house. ,This, is turn,set Clawson to ex
travakaUt words and ' actions, and he
leaped Qa t of the pulpit like a deer, and
began to take the hands of the colored„'
brethrkn and mix in quite happily. lic ,
wept for joy. Then, passing through';
the crowd, he found brother R. and;
sittingdown beside him, he threw his
arm around his neck, and, with tears
streaming, down his cheeks; he said :
"Brother R., I almost wish I had
been born a nigger. These folks have
more religion than we haye."
"Well, well, "said Brother R., "you
come so near that you needn't cry
about it." •
