The Victory that Overcomes the
World
Victory over self; is victory over the world.
It is not the outward enemy, but the traitor
within that storms or undermines the citadel
of spiritual life. Alas - that the gates arc so
often unba•eAr for the hosts of evil to enter.
Alas, that the soul should so easily 'surren
der, and suffer itself to be laid waste, As
in the conflict of nations the conquering ar
my reinforces its own strength by the Mu
nitions of war taken from the vanquished
foe, so does the victorious soul gather new
force from every struggle with temptation.
Yet the victory is gained, not by self-con
fidence and spiritual pride, but by humility
and self-abnegation. The humble soul alone
is truly strong, and safe from fall What
outward poirer can abase him, who, while he
reverences the nature God has given him,
still is lowly in his own eyes,. "esteeming
others better than himself?" What circum:
stance or condition of life can be adverse to
him whose will is merged in the will of God?
Oh, the strength that grows from self renun
ciation! Oh, the peace that flows in upon
• the will subdued, when the man, though
"lord of himself," through the entire man
tery,over his affections and passions, feels
that all his strength is in God, and in the
might of Him who overcame the world: To
him the tide of life flows "like a broad riv•
er's peaceful might," through sunshine and
through storm, bearing steadily on in its ap
pointed course. His abundant peace is not
stoicism. Like that of his divine Master,
his heart is the home of all sweet ,affections.
He is still a being . of smile 4 and tears, ten
derly alive to the joys of human sympathy,
both in giving and receiving the blessed
charities of life. A leisure from eternal
strife, he has a word of courage for the temp
ted, comfort for the sorrowing, reproof for
the hardened sinner, hopes for the penitent.
Such lives are led' by God's best children
'here below.' Lord, evermore grant us the
peace that springs ffem victory over selfish
sins, and the absorption of our wills into
thine.—.llbothlll Religious Magazine.

queen of. hight, had arisen and Was shedding
her leafy rays o'er all the earth. The even
ing' insects had commenced their night's sing
song devotion, and the air was laden with
the 'balm of a thousand flowers."
John. Pickens and Fanny Ashley were
walking in a beautiful grove on the banks

And now before we tell you' how they
walked, and 'why they walked, we will brief
: : • ()Abe' I
commotion
John was a handsome and intelligent man
he had adopted the profession of the law,
whereby he expected to win honor and fame,
and bread and butter. John was a' good
fellow—an exceedingly good fellow; but he
was very impulsive and suseeptable.
John had been in love at seven different
times in his life, but he had always managed
to come out without being very much slaugh
tered.
Poor John! he was destined.to be awfully
slaughtered this time.
Fanny Ashley was the handsomest woman
itt the world. There was no mistake Oil this
point. She was universally acknowledged
to be, by all odds, the prettiest woman that,
ever trod on shoe. leather. No person deni
ed it. Such pearly teeth. Such bewitching
languishing, love lit, slaughtering eyes!—
Such peachey, plumey cheeks! Such beau
tiful, etow black, curly tresses! Such—oh
my! Language fails even to give even a
faint idea of Fanny. .
But Fanny had one very grieirous fault.
Fanny was a confirmed flirt.
Hundreds of the noblest and fairest of the
land bad come and flung their hearts down
before Fanny, only to be laughed at and turn
.ed away. --
-- Fanny lad jilted many.
Many -a-heart torn smashed—and—bleeding
had crept from beneath Fanny's frown and
Fanny's. laugh.
Before we proceed further with our tale,
we should perhaps say that 'twas but a fort
_night since John met Fanny.
They met, "'twas in a crowd." .
John fell in love instantly.
Did Fanny do likewise? No.
. But cruel, heartless, beautiful bewitehing
Fanny did worse.
She by her actions, made John believe
she was equally slaughtered.
John asked and received permission to vis
it her the next evening
John went.
The lamp flamed on the table, and John's
love flamed in his bosom.
But John didn't propose.
No, 'twas too soon. John thought he'd
wait a day or two.
The evening. passed beautifully, delight.
fully. Fanny was all smile, her conversa
tion was of the highest order.
John was in ecstasies. John believed he
had met his fate.
He believed he had nothingto do but pro
pose. Poor John!
The next time John and Fanny met, ,was
at a picnic. lie danced with her several
times 'neath the shade of the old maple trees.
She was excruciatingly beautiful that day.
As John said, "she looked duced well—she
did, by jingol"
John still thought he had nothing to do
but propose.
"But. thought John "I'm sure of her—
what's the use of hurrying?"
And John determined he would sail a few
ddys longer around the shore, and not plunge
at once into the Elysian sea.
Ile , feared the Joy would be too great, he
feared he could not stand it.
Poor John
We will return to the grove. John and
Fanny walked on. John had determined
that this should make him the happiest man
in the world.
He Wended to propose under the quiver
ing leases of the forest trees. liti• intended
to propose whilst pale Luna was flooding the
earth with her silvery rays, and whilst the
grasshoppers and katydids were singing and
dancing around him.
• And he did propose.
- Poor John!
They walked on until they came to a log.
Tice log was a foot high. They sat down.
In glowing colors John painted to the fair
being the happiness of the marriage state.
He had never explored it. •
Listening to his burning eloquence the fair
maiden dropped her head4,oton his shirt
bosom.
Johosophatl Who can describe John's
feelings ?"
Ho felt a desire to spring upon a neigh
boring stump and throw up his hat.
But be didn't
Oh, the emotion that rolled and •howled
through his soul !
How could he sit still ? How could his
heart rest when the beautiful maiden's head
reposed on his bosom ?
It couldn't , It was impossible. It jump
ed into his throat.
•
Plung !
'Alia couldn't 'speak.
But this couldn't last always. The mo

She flung her arms around him.
' He was plunged again over head and ears
into a sea of bliss.
He is choking—he is drowning ?
Her lips are in tempting proximity to
his.
They meet.. .
'Oh, gishons, what a'kiss ! 'Twas-five min

When they , had finished the second kiss
John sprang up—he could stand it no longer
—he would smother in bliss.
He must come to the point. _•

He asked her to sail with him down life's

stream; he would— •

"You're a goose," said she; "go home and

"Great heavens I Do you reject me P'

THE END.
How to Pick Whortleberries
When I first knew Mr. John Horsly, he
was a white haired man' and very rich. He
seemed never to have been .in any great bu
siness, such as merchants and specultitors
now engage-in, and-he was never accused of
being a dishonest man, it was always a mys.
tery to me how he came to be so rich. I
knew that his father was a poor country cler
.- man and that John could have received
no property from him. Meeting my friend
one day when Our conversation happened to
turn on the subject of gathering property,
I ventured to ask him • how •it was he had
been so successful inlife.
"When I was a boy," he said, "my fath
er was a pooeminister. We lived very plain
and dressed very plain, but that never trou
bled us. We always had enough of some
thing to eat, and my mother was one who
contrived to have her children dressed pret
tily it not richly. One day when I was a
little fellow, several little boys and girls came
along on their way to pick whortleberries.—
They invited me to go along with them, and
when I saw their bright faces and little bas
kets, and_the_bright afternoon, I wanted to
go with them. 8o I went into the house
and asked my mother. I saw she sympa
thized with me, but she said 1 must go and
ask father. ,
"And where is father ?"
"Up in the study, of course."
"Up I bounded, bat in hand, and gently
knocked at the door. lie bade me come
"Well, Johuny, what is your wish ?"
"I want; sir, to go with the children and
pick whortleberries."
"Where are they going I"
'•Only to Johnson's hill, sir."
"How many. children are there ?"
"Seven, besidis myself. Please let me
go."
:"Well, you may go. Be a good boy and
use no bud words.'
Away I scampered, andjust got to the
bottom of the stairs when my father called
me back. 0 dear, it's all over now. Ele's
going to take it all back, I said to myself.—
Trembling, I again stood 'in the doorway,
expecting to have th e permission with
drawn.
"Johnny," said my father, with a pecu
liar smile, "I have a word of advice to give
you. Y o u will find berries growing i n
dlumps all over :the lot. The children will
pick a fe* minutes • at one place and then
go off to another, in hopes of finding bet
ter picking, and thus they will spend half
of the afternoon in roaming from one place
to another, Now my advice to you is, that
when you find pretty fair picking stick to
that spot and keep picking there —Your•
basket at night will show whether my advice
is good or not."
"Well, sir, I followed my father's advice,
and although the children would wander a
bout and cry out: "Oh, Johnny here's a
world of them" and "there's splendid pick
ing," and "here yon can fill your basket in
no time," and yet I stuck to my fair picking
place. When we„got through at night, to
the astonishment of every one, and my own
no less, it was found that.l had nearly twice
as many as any .other One. They all won
dered how it came. Thit I know. • And that
was the lesson that made me a rich man.—
Whenever I found fair picking I have stuck
to it. Others have changed occupations and
basiness, but I, have never done so, and.l.
attribute all my success to the lesson by
which I
have
to pick whortleherries "
I have recalled this conversation, and the
form of my old friend, who has long since
passed away, to impress it upon the parent,,
and upon the teacher, that a single sentence
of instruction may shape the course of the
whale-life of the-child-nowt-umier - his - care.—

Quaker, president of Penn
sylvania railroad, during.the confusion some
years since ealled upon fhe W— Bank,
with which, the road kept a large,regular ac
count, and asked for an extension of part of
its papal falling due .in a few days., fihe
bank president declined rather abruptly,say
ing in a rough, tone . to the functionary.— .
"Air. your paper must be paid
,at
maturity; we cannot renew it."
"Very well," our Quaker friend. replied
t the bank.
, But he did not let the matter rest here.--.
On leaving the bank, he went, quickly to the,
depot, and telegraphed to all agents and e
•
.41To - tors on the road to reject, the W---
Bank. In a few hours, the train began to
arrive, full of panic, and bringing news of
the distrast of; the W— Bank all along
the line.. -Stockholders and depositors flock
ed to the bank quaking with panic, inquir
ing thus : •
"What is the matter ? Is tho bank
broke ?"
A little inquiry by the officers showed that
the trouble originated in the rejection of the
bills on the railroad. The president seized
his bat, and rushed. down to the Quaker's
office, and came bustling in with the inqui
ry,—
"Mr. IC—, have you directed the tofu
sal of our currency by your agents?"
"Yes," was the quiet reply.
"Why is this ? It will ruin us,"
"Well, friend L—, I supposed the bank
was going to fail, as it could not renew a lit
tle paper for us this morning."
it is needless to say I\lAl—renewed all
the Quaker's paper, and enlarged his line of
discount; while the magic wires carried all
around the road the sedative message,—
"The W— Bank is all right. Thee
may take all its currency."

the truth and assigns.the reason, by describ

they live fast.; they spend their twelve hours
in six., getting through the whole before the

while others are in the glory of light.—
"Their sun goeth down while it is dap"—
And . they might have helped it. Many a
one dies before he need: Young men of gee
ius, like Burns and Byron, to whom, when
dissipated and profligate, thirty-seven is so
fatal, and your obscure and nameless wander
ing stars, , who waste their time in libertine
indulgence—they cannot live, they must die
early. They put on steam till they blow up
the boiler. They run
~.at such a rate that
the fire goes out for want of fuel, The ma
chinery is destroyed by rapid speed and reck
less wear. Nothing can save them. Their
physical system cannot stand the strain-they
put while-the-stafe-of—their—minds—is ,
often such that the soul would eat the sub

itself a way of escape from the incessant hell

A Magnanizpviis Dane.
During the wars that raged from 1622 to
1660, between Frederick 11l of Denmark
and Charles Gustavus of Sweden after a bat
tle, in which the victory had remained with
the Danes, a stout burgher of Flensborg
was about to refresh himself, ere retiring
to have his , wounds dressed, with a draught
of beer from a wooden bottle, when an im
ploring cry from a wounded Swedd, lying on
the field, made him turn with the very
words of Sieney—"Thy need is greater than
mine"—he Knelt down by the fallen enemy,
to pour the liquor in his mouth. His re
quital was a pistol-shot in the shoulder from
the treacherous Swede.
"Rascal!" he cried, "I would have be
friended you, and you would murder rna in
return. Now I will punish you. 1 would
have given.you.the whole bottle, but now
you shall have only half." And drinking
off halt himself, he gave the rest to the
Swede. .
The king hearing the story, sent for the
burgher, and asked Lim bow he' came to
spare the life of such a rascal.
"Sire," said the honest burgher, "I. could
never kill a- wounded enemy."
"Thou meritest to be made' a noble," the
king said, and created him one immediately,
giving him as armorial bearing a wooden bot
tle pierced with an arrow I—The family only

WOMEN AND MEN:—Women may talk of
their inherent rights as much as they please,
bat'they can't overcome nature. Igen and
oaks were . made to be twined, and women
and ivy were made to twine about them.—
Though an equality were establisbed between
'calico and cassimere to-morrow, it would not •
be a week before all the officers would be
men, and all the soldiers • women. Females
arc perfectly willing to go ahead, provided
the men go first. St fire to a steamboat, and
not a yard.ot dimity will budge till corduroy
sets• the example. So long as the mea cling
to the vessel, the women will cling to
the men. But if the men plunge overboard,
feminioes plunge too. As we said before,
reformers may prate about equal rights, but
they can't alter the regulation of God. It
is as impossible for women to cut. themselves
loose from men, as it is for steel-dust to tree
itself from its attachment to a magnet.
ANECDOTE.—Rev. Simeon Parmlee ; well
known in Northern Vermont, and for many
years a settled minister in the town of West
fyrd,2 lulled to relate the following, respec.-
ting parishoners, who never was
known to pagage, in any religious conver
sation, so strongly was he attached to things
earthly. Mr. ?armlet) called one day to
have a short talk with him. He wished
to have the minister walk over his well cul
tivated farm, which request was coin - plielt
- with. Alter looking at hisstock and crops,
he waitedfor_au_opportanity to change—the
subject to things of a religious nature. At
last the minister thought the time had:arri
ved, when he said,'All these things are good
enough in their place, but thou lackest: coo
thing.' 'Yes, yes,'said the farmer, 'a good
cart, and I'll have it, too.' The' minister,
gave it up.
Nothiog teaches patience like a garckin;—
.Ymi may go retina. and match the opening
bud frourday to day; but it takes it own
'time, and,:yon cannot urge it on faster than
will. All the beet results of a garden,
like those of life, are slowly btit regularly
progressive.

Manly courage, fortitude and sett-donial,
will triumph over the greatest ills. The
storm will soon blow over, and the sun of
prosperity swain, blaze in the heavens with
cheerful effulgence; and then those who have
held out with indomitable firmness, will be
prepared to reap the advantages of the new
order of things. A stout heart will keep the
body vigorous, the health good, and chase
away the blues; while despondency will wreok
not only fortune, but mind and -body aiao:—
All that the luckiest of us get in this world

Authur it a real Union boy, but not at all

'the battle, cry of freedom.'
Bad men ate never completely happy, al.
though possessed of everything that this
world can bestow; and good men are never

everything that the world can take away.
