Night had - Wet in deep and dark, and in a small log cabin, situated a few miles from Trenton, New Jersey, set five men, four of whom were seated around an old oaken table in the centre of the room, engaged in playing cards, while they frequently moistened their throats with lager draughts from an earthen ' jug that stood on the table.—They -were heavily bearded, course looking men, and from their dress, which somewhat resembled the British uniform, they were evidently tories. The other, a stoutly built young man, in continental uniform. lle sat in a corner of the room with his face buried in his hands. "Tomrsaid one of the tories, rising from the table and seating himself near the prisoner, for such he evidently was,— "Tom yodr and I were school boys toga ther, and I like yen yet,—Now why can't you give up your wild' notions and join us? You are our prisoner, and if you don't we shall hand you over to headquarters to-morrow; while if you join us, your foatune is made; for with your bravery and talents you will soon distinguish yourself in the royal cause. and after this rebellion is crushed out you would he rewarded by knighthood and pro a in the army: . Now there are two alternativeh do you choose?", "Neither," sairilie — young man, as he raised his head and looked the tory steadily in the eye; "I am now, tis'you say your pris oner, but when that clock strikes twelve I shall leave you. I shall disappearin a cloud of fire anti smoke, and neither you nor your comrades, nor even myself can prevent it. You may watch me as close as you please,. tic me hand and foot if you will, but a high . er power than yours or mine has ordained that I should leave you at that time." "Poor fellow, his mind:Wanders," said the tory, "he will talk differently in the morn . ing, ' and,he returned to his seat at the table, leaving thejouth with his head resting on his hands. . When the. clock struck -elei r en, the young man took a pipe and some tobacco from his pocket, and asked the tory leader if he had any objections to his smoking. _ "No none in the least,"said he, adding with a laugh," that is if you'll promise 'not to go off in a cloud of smoke." The young man made no reply, but imme.: diutely filled and I%hted his pipe having done which he.arose and commenced-acing the floor. Ire took. 'half dozen turns up and down each 'sidshif the room, approaching nearer to stheitade each time, when having exhaustedAiS pipe, he returned_ to 'his seat and refilled it.,.He continued smoking until the,elock,strtte twelve, when -he arose from his seat and slowly knocking the ashes from his pipe said, "Theri, toys; it is twelve chick, and I. must leave yougood-bye."— Inuuediktely all around the rue* strcaka- of :tire -went hissing and squirming;. - and-.the ca 'bin -was fiilfed-with ardphurous.smoke, amidst which was heard a crash like .a clap of them ! -der.

To this welcome gift the angelic lady added a hearty - "God bless you," and an . assurance that each one of them had doubly canned all the kindness that could be heaped upon them. Some of the poor fellows burst into tears and spoke the praises of their benefactor, as sick and wounded soldiers only can. Some of them observed that there was a decided difference between the ladies of Yorktown aid the good lady of Stamford Connecticut. OLD HtistutED.-11 Ulm true that Lu ther composed that tune, and if the worship of mortals are carried on the wings of angels to heaven, how often has been heard.the de claration, '"They are singing Old Hundred now," The solemn strain carries us hack to times of reformers--Lutlier and his devoted band. He, doubtless, was the first to strike - the grand old chords in the' public sanctuary of his own Germany. From his stentorian lungs it rolled, vibrating not through the vaulted cathedral root alone; but 'along a grander arch—the eternal heavens. Ile wrought iwo each note his.own sublime faith and he stamped it with that faith's immor tality. Hence it cannot die. Neither- men or angels will let it pass into oblivion, but its melodies notes will continue to .be chan ted as thelltavenly dome is open to recieve them. How SOON FORGOTTEN.—SO 'lately dead ; so soon forgotten. 'Tis the way of the world. We flourish ibr a while.

MUM% CAPACITY: If borne are naturally dull, and' yet strive to do well, notice the effort and do not - cen sure the dullness. A teacher might, as well scold a child for being near-sighted, as for being naturally dull. Some children-litre it great Verbal. ineusevy, Othets - are the reverse: Some minds develope early; others late.— Some have powers of acquiring , °theta of or iginating. Some may appear stupid, because• .the true spirit of character has never been touched. The. dunce of the school may turn out in the end, the living, progressive, wonder-working genius,of the age. Jn or der to exert the spiritual influence we must understand the spirit upon which kwe wish to exert that influence. 'For 'with the hu raawraind-we-must- work - with nature and not against it. Like the leaf of the nettle, if touched one way, it stings like a wasp, if the other, it is softer than satin. If we would do justice to the human mind, we must find its peculiar characteristics, and a dapt ourselves to individual wants. In con versation with a friend on this point who is the principal in. one of our best grammar schools,. and. to whose instruction I look back to with delight—"your remarks," 'said he, are quite true ; let me tell you.a little' inci dent, which bears upon this point. Last summer, I had a girl who was exceedingly behind in all her studies. She was at the foot of the division, and seemed to. (tare little about her books. It so happened that as a' relaxation,: I let them at times during school hours unite in sin gin , .. I noticed that this girl had a remarkilitlielear sweet voice—and said to her, "Jane you have a good voice and you may lead.the singing." She brigh tened up, and from that time her mind seem ed moreactive. Her lessons were attended to, and she soon gained a high rank. .One day I was going home, I overtook her with a school companion. "Weil Jane," said I, "yon are getting a long very well, how happens it, you do so much Getter now than at the beginning of the quarter ?" 'I do not know whyit is," she replied. "I know what she told me the other day,' said her corn 'anion. ini=2=EzmThiumzummi "Why, she said she was encouraged." Yes, here we hive it—she was encouraged: She felt that she was dull in everything.— She had learned a self-respect, and she, was thus encouraged. • Sonic twelve or thirteen years ago there was in Franklin school an excessively dull boy. - One day the teacher wishing to look at a word. took up the lad's dictionary, and on opening it found the blank leaves covered with drawings. He called the boy to him. "Did your draw these ?" said the teacher. "Yes sir," said the boy with downcast look. "I do not think it is well for boys to draw in their books," said the teacher, 'land I vrould rub these out if I were you; but . they are well done. Did you ever take lessons ?" "No sir," said ths boy, his eyes sparkling. "Well, I think you have a talent forthis thing. I should like you to draw me some thing when at your leisure at home and bring it to me. In the meantime see how well you can recite your lessons." The boy felt he was understood. He be gan to love his teacher. He became anima ted and fond of his books. He took• delight in gratifying his teacher by Via faithfulness to his studies. The boy became one of the first scholars, and gained the medal before he left school. After-this-he became an en graver, laid up money enough to go to Eu rope, studied the works of the old masters, sent home productions from his own pencil, which found a place in sonic of the best col lections of paintings, and is now one of the most prominent artists of.his years in the country. After the boy gained the medal, he sent the teacher a beautiful picture as a token of respect, and I doubt not, this day, he feels that the teacher, by the judicious encouragement he gave to the natural turn of his mind; has had a great moral and spir itual effect on his character,— Gospel May nigger.

Two forms were sitting in close proximity to one another by the window of a tWelve_ thousand dollar house—heavily wort . :ged--in the tipper part,of the city. The hand of the one rested lovingly on that of the other, and the arm of one .described a semi-eireale round the other's waist. It is ly necessary to say that they were lovers, ad that: this watt as• - yar‘as the young ipan. uld go in ge tmetry. There was no light 'n ,the room, but there was no occasion for ny, with her taper waist and sparkling eyes, and his flaming words. This is a small :ample of their small talk. 'Dearest Flora,. tell, oh tell me what lean o to make myself more mortal of yoirlove. Did me undertake any mission you please, nd I will obey. Aye, even though it be—to ut my hair short—saerifice my moustache— wear large boots, or work for my living—, :peak,. anything you may command me.' 0 Charles! calm yourself. Do not speak n this terrible strain; you Make me shudder No, Charles, I love you for yourself alone.' rhen placing her hand gently upon his brow, .he murmured., 'soft, my love, speak soft, in _ cll me do you I Ve me now as much as ever, anitpwill I ever*e the sante to y o u as I am now?' mo swear!' cried the ardent youth, dropping upon his knees for the first time in his life, but suddenly rising with a troubled expression of countenance, as something put him in mind of the tightness of his nether apparel. 'Oh Flora, there is not a coat that adorns any tailor's window on Broadway, that has so high a place in my, affections as yourself! You. are to me what slander and gossip are to young church members, or funerals to married women—my life, my ambition, my hope, my all! A ,few days more and we shall be anited forayer. I can scarcely realize my happiness.' The fair one blushedand nestled closer to the Test pattern of the happy youth. So we leave thew. CHA PTIi.:II 11 It was a dark and gloomy niglrt, two days before the time appointed fur the nuptial ceremonies of the young pair. Charles bent his way. full oAltope and slipper, to the mans sion of his beloved. Hrang e the bell and was ushered into the ° parlor. . Flora was not there, and after waiting_a_few moments, he resolved to descend the stairs to the dining room, ostensible to seek for her, .but most probably with visions o f spoons , dancing through his ever-teeming brain. With stealthy steps be approached the door and suddenly . opened it, when there burst upon his .astonished gaze a sight which froze 'the blo within his veins. 'Upon the dinino-room table lay many dishes and other articles of crockery.
