THE PATRIOT'S STRATAGEM.
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

strewed it all over the room When the
clock struck twelve, I bid good-bye, . and

WORTH TELLING AND WORTH IMITA
TINO.—As a number of our sick and wound
ed soldierlr were returning to their homes
from New York via the New York and New
Haven Railroad, the cars stopped a few min
utes at Stamford, when a lady belonging to
that town (name umknown) r accompanted by
. •
a servant g irt and a young grant, all laden
with refreshments, entered the train, and
began the work of d:stribution, giving to
each man a bottle of ° port wine, in addition
to other delicacies. 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.

of mortals are carried on the wings of angels
to heaven, how often has been heard.the de

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

and he stamped it with that faith's immor

or angels will let it pass into oblivion, but
its melodies notes will continue to

How SOON FORGOTTEN.—SO 'lately dead ;
so soon forgotten. 'Tis the way of the world.

STUDY A. 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.

"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

CHAPTER 1.
,
It was a beautiful evening in the dawn
if summer. 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. Before
it with dishevelled hair and tucked-up, E4rown,
stood • Flora, a huge carving-knife in her
hand,, which she was in the act of plunging—
into a pan of hot water
She had been caught in the act of doing
house- wi ork! ' With one loud shriek she fell
to the floor while her distracted and bewil
dered lover rushed from" the house.
It is needless to add that of course the en
gagement, along with several brittle cups,
was broken .on the spot. Thus were two
fond and doting hearts irrevocably separated !

of persuading one young woman never, un
