A Scotch highlander, who served in the first disastrous war with the American colo nies, was brought one evening before his commanaing officer, charged with the capital offence of being in communication with the enemy.. The charge could not well be pre ferred.at a more dagerous time. Only a few weeks had elapsed since the execution of Major Andre, and the indignation of the 'British, exasperated almost to madness by the event, had not yet cooled down.' There was, however, no direct proof against the highlander. Ile had been seen iu the gray of the twilight, stealing out from aclump of underwood that bordered on one of the huge forests which, at that period, covered by much the greater part of the United Provin ces, and which, in the immediate neighbor hood of the British, swarmed with the troops of Washington. All the rest was mere in• ference and conjecture. The poor man's do fence was summed up in a few words. Ile had stolen away from his fellows, he said, to spend an hour in private prayer. . ''llave you been in the habit of spending hours in private , prayer?" sternly'askod the officer, himself a Scotchman and a Presby terian The Highlander replied 'in the affirma tive, "Then," said the other, drawing out his watch, —never in all your life had you more need of prayer than now; kneel down, sir, and pray aloud, that we may all here you," The Highlander, in the expectation of in• strait death, knelt down. His prayer was that of ono long ndquainted with the appro priate language in which the christian ad dresses his God it breathed of imminent peril, and earnestly implored the Divine in terposition in the threatened daoger—the help of him who, in times of extremity, is strong to'cleliver. Ir exhibited, in short, a man who was thoroughly • conversant with the scheme of redemption, and fully impres sed with the necessity of a personal interest in„, the advantages which it secures, had made tfe •businesit of salvation the work of many a solitary hour, sad had, in consequence,•ae 7 'quired much fluency in eipressing all his va rious•wauts as they occurred, and •thoughts 1 . and wishes as they arose. "You may go, air," said the officer, as be concluded; yon have; I dare say, not been in correspondence with the enemy tonight" - "Ills atatoment," he'ton tin uecl, adclressieg himself to the other officers, "is, i doubt not, perfectly:-correct., No one could have,prek ed so who haves ver attended drill, always get lon ill at review." - -H ugh- • • TrTr integiestive peep% fry . . • • •••• tho'.apet eifies for oliolera that are given, in; she pa pers, they will soon place theinselyetigheyo n d the reach ofichalera=er any other- disease'.

On Tuesday night a number of guests as sembled on Sixteenth street to witness a mar riage ceremony. The wedding -feast was spread—the priest came with his cross and prayer book—the groomsmen assembled with their white kids and paper shirt collars—the bridesmaids were present with their satin flounces and globular waterfalls—the bride, blushing like Aurora, was arrayed in snowy robes, orange wreath and glittering jewels— the wedding ying.was ready, and everything was prepared to launch the young couple upon tlie Hymeneal stream, amid rejoicing, flowers, kisses, tears, tremors and congratu lations. Only one thing was needed to make the affair complete, and that was the ples ence of the bridegroom. Without him the wedding would be like the play of Hamlet - with Hamle I AP' In , Ispensa presence the whole affair must fall through or prove a failure. But, important as was his presence, the appointed bridegroom came not-. - Hollis passed. The priest became disgusted and left--the uncle of the bride drew - - re looked 6 . re - din — the face-=f- lie groomsmen lookei. sour—the bridesmaids languished and the bride grew nervous and pale. Still the lag. Bard lingered. Midnight approached. The hoarse clarion of the ancient .Shanghai in the yard announced the approach of the "wee sma' hours," and still no bridegroom appeared—the uncle-was in a towering pas sion—the bridesmaids wept—the groomsmen went to bed. A committee was sent to look 'I or the reclusant _ lover.—and i —after - visiting -- fh - :narble drug store and not finding him there, they went to his room and found him fast asleep. Ile was aroused from his slum ber, and hurried off to the bride's house:— When he arrived there the guests were gone. Ile gave as an esmise - .that, feeling unwell, he had taken a dose . or morphine and .had overslept himself, but was now ready to face the music ankgo-through - the - tryinvorcleal: By this time the native pride of the fair bride had become aroused, and .the sleepy gentleman was informed that the wedding was indefinitely postponed. The bridegroom returned to his pestle 'and mortar, and the youtiglady remains at home - a - fair ungather ed flower. It was a near approach to a wed ding, but "a miss is as good as a mile." What I Saw As I was going up street, I saw Mrs—Pe troleum with two barrels and a half' of oil made into a cloak, which hung in graceful folds from her ample figure—on her head was nearly half a barrel of the same fluid, and yet she held her head so high that one would almost itnlgine it was as empty as a blasted head of wheat. Behind her I saw a woman with two mow ing machines in the folds of her dress, and yet how gracefully it swept the streets. A young girl was with her who had around her neck ten barrels of flour. A little further up the street I saw a lady with four revol vers, at ten dollars apiece, swinging from her oars. Lady number five was enrobed in fifty bales of shoddy, and she marched into the store as though she was at the head of a regiment, and with a voice such as a Colonel might use, when speaking, to all his men, asked of the clerk, "be theta the silks you advertise tier evening. wear ?" With a solemn look and a profound bow, ft 4) he answered, "them they be, am." It was the last named lad who asked an acquaintance to write a list f books, with pretty bindings, that she mi t 'fall our new hbraty in our new house." As I turned to go out of the store I met an old acquaintance who, a fewtyears be fore, was a schoolmate, and whose last com position was to nie to correct, and the word 'but .was spelled 'bee'—but she had on so many pairs of hoots for a veil, that she was afraid to bend her hcad,.l suppose, for fear of some kiad of a downfall. I went home, pondering in my heart these words of the preacher--Vanity, vanity, all is vanity." The Strength of a Kind. Word. How strong is a kind word ! It. will do what the harsh word or even blow cannot do; it will subdue the stubborn will, relax the frown, and works wonders. • Even the dog, the cat, or the horse,though they do not know what you say,oun tell when you speak a kind word to them. A man was one day driving a cart along the street. The horse was drawing a heavy load, and did not turn as the man wished him to.do. The man was in an ill temper, and beat the horse. The horse reared and plunged, but be either did not or would not go the right way. Another man, who was in a cart, went up to - th•e • horse and patted him on the neck and called him kindly by his name. The horse turned his head; and fixed his large eyes ,on the man, as though he would say, "I will do anything for you, because you are kind to ne," and bending his broad chest against the.lead, be turned the curt down the narrow, lane, and trotted on briskly, as though the load were a play thing. Oh, how strong is a kind word ! I=ll It is said that in Now South Wales an old maid.is a much rarer animal than: a blank swan.

Whereas, by reason of man's fall from God, there is in human nature a craving af ter something which mankind of itself does not possess, and Whereas, human-nature is a compound of two parts (animal and spiritual) which-parts seperately & in their combination, possess and manifest susceptibilities, inclinations, propel]. sities, iliElßiooB and ap setites which crave -r - - gratification, and often, in spite of knowl edge,. reason, judgment, conscience, waroing,l advice and resolution, will and must have gratification, when that gratification is known to, tend to mischievous results or is at best of doubtful propriety, -and iminoper—un--of----articles-of—a . Jod and drink lead generally to the most pernicious consequences, this meeting puts on record these five following deliberate Res olutions, Resolved. That all rational human beings should seek, or- be pursuaded to seek, tie_. I== or. as t e elue goo., w• o on y, throng his son, our sole mediator, and the Divine spirit, can satisfy every want.of the sodl, and bring everything pertaining to body and mind into happy submission to his will, which is evermore conformed to gis own attributes of infinite Wihdom, Goodness and Truth. Resolved, That subordinate• to the provi sions of Religion, and for the purpose of ex cluding lustful thoughts and desires for bod ily or sensual gratifications, attention is due to various means calculated to awaken and foster a sense of honor and self-respect and an appreciation of the pure, beautiful and exhilarating. among the products of human genius and in the universe of God's creation; and, that chief among these means, stand iucentives to the formation of habits of in dustry and beneficence, of . love for home - pie asuresTwholes e - re - a - dienr, an d - th e stu y of nature. Resolved, That the Christian Church, be ing designed and established for the highest good 'of all mankind, and having an ever I __ present _ Divine_ Head;—reasorr-of-th-e -laws and encouragements which He has giv en it, the best and the only sufficient organ ization, when pure in faith and practice, for securing Temperance, Virtue and Holiness amongst its meat bership, and that when such_ membership is sufficiently numerous, it can be:relied upon as a power sufficient for mould ing, restraining and preserving the mass of mankind outside of its pale, thug constitu ting in itself the best society for Temperance and Beneficial purposes. Resolved, That the substitution, in the church's place, of any worldly organization outside of and independent" of it, for moral reform or for any purpose, ought to be view ed as a mere temporary expedient, to be en couraged only until the Christian Church can be brought up to an enlarged view of Ju. ty and the fulfilment of its obligations and that in no case should it be supplanted by any outside organization, no matter how hu. mane and scriptural its rules and inculcations may be. Resolved, That it is highly desirable that the Christian Church, in all its branches and congregations, should pay. more especial at. tention to preventing and remedying the e• vils of gluttony and drunkenness within its own pale and in the world around, and that the church is in a position most effectually to increase its power for good,. by systemati cally developing, in all its, membership, the graces of moderation, brotherly kindness and, universal philanthrophy, derived from Him "who went about doing good," and which, by reason of the dereliction of the church, has been made a• special attraction by,sun dry temperance and beneficial orders, who: adherents are banded together to help each other. Resolved, That'auxiliaries to the church, subordinate organizations, noting in concert with the church, and nut in contempt of it, ought to be approver] and eneouracr ° ed, espe cially such associations as •have for their main (Neat the promotion of Temperance and general morality; and that the following are good proofs of the truth of these propo sitions, viz:— (a) The sad fact, shown by experience, that as a rule, the church, or the aggregate of Christian congregations, has always been obliged to leave out of its fold a' very large proportion, say the mass of the community, because they would sot heartily enter in. (b) The mournful fact that Christians, as a mass, lite other people, are slow to under stand the nature and preventives of the sin of intemperance,—ate apt to underrate its heinousness, and to be influenced by early education in communities in which indul gence in intoxicating drink, is called iono• cent gratification and the drink itself a good creature of God. (c)• The fact that the numerical strength and aggressive Circe of Christian conorega tionshowever proper their morals and plino, are very seldom sufficient to counter act the formation of habits which lead to sur feiting and drunkenness, in the community, inasmuch 'as nonprofossors may a•d m fire church rules, without feeling bound by them. (d) The fact that a portion of the teach ings of religion may be borrowed and so 'pop ularized and inculcated as to resell multi tudes whom the church 'does not directly ben . cfit. , A yonog pan in Newport:Vl", wanted a wife hadly,And 'took "a young lady Out to ride.

Hidden Treasure Brought to Light The Dyersburg (Tenn.) Gazette of the ' 26th ult. says: A short time before our civil war threw its lurid light over the land, an unmarried man moved from Mississippi to this county, and settled at a place a few miles from Dyers burg, and commenced the quiet but prosper ous life of a farmer. When a call was made for troops he abandoned his occupation and enlisted as a soldier in the confederate army, and was killed in one of• the battles in Mis sissippi. Being almost an entire_strangatin_ the county, nothing was known of his family sr-affairs. At the close of the war, his place was cultivated by a Mr. Wilson. •A short time since durin7 the cold Reath-_ er, a negro of Captain Hall's went on the place to cut a "back log," which be did.— hi-placing it on the-fir9-11e-recoarked tliut it was the heaviest log for its size he ever lif't- ed.

It is supposed that the Mississippian, on entering the army, stowed his gold away in the log for s..fe keep- A Bov STRUCK Burin.—The Brighton (England) Observer relates a ease where the vengeance of the Almighty was visited on a youth named Richards. The youth was thirteen years of age, and bad been playing for some time with his companions, when a dispute arose between them as to 'notches' 'or jumps Richard -bad scored. He declared that be had made more than twenty, and his opponents protested• that he had not made so many. High words and bad language were freely used on both sides. Each boy accused the other Of falsehood, and at length Richatds_faiting'-to-eauvince-hiS-companiona of the truthfulness of his statement, flew in to a violent rage and emphatically shouted, "Alay,God strike me blind if 1 hav'nt made more than twenty." Ile had Scarcely utter ed,-the-adjuration before be let the "dog" fall out of his hands, and throwing up his arms, exclaimed, "Oh, dear, I cannot see." His companion ran to him, and finding what he said was true, at his request led him home; where, on examination, it was found that a thick film had overspread each of .his eyes. In this miserable condition the un happy youth has remained ever since, and we are informed that there is little prospect of his sight being restored. .10 IN, PERPETUAL Mono:.—Josh tolls us how he got said': '.When I was down to the fair, a good many years ago, there was a prize offered to the one who would come the nearest to making perpetual motion. Well, all sorts of machines, of all shapes and ma terials, were fetched there, and shown, and the makers of them told bow long they would run. As I was walking among them, I seen a sign over a tent : "All who want to see perpetual motion, and no mistalee, meet here." . 8o I paid the admission fee, and went in. Very soon•a queer little man got up on a box that served for a platform, and address ed the audience. "Ladies and' gentlemen," he said, "I'm a goite to exhibit to you the most wonderfulest invention you ever seen. It bas been runnin' for full three years, and, If nobody stops it, it'll run forever." And here ho unrolled a long strip of paper.:--- "Phis is a tailor's Lill!" And, as he bold it up• to the gaze of the people, they admit ted, that, whether" the bill was ever paid or not, they had all been sold. A MELANCHOLY CONFESSION. —Some of our renders have probably often read Bul wer's Novels.. In a letter recently to a per. son in Boston, Mass., Bulwer himself says : "I have run my cnrreer as a writer of fiction and lam gloomy and unhappy. I have ex• haunted the powers of life chasing pleasure where it is not to be found." If such be the fruits of his labors upon the author him self, how, can they be different upon' the rea• der ? If the writing of such works as flow ed from his pen has left him gloomy and un• happy when far advanced in life, and near ing the grave and . the realities of eternity, how can it be-expected,that the reading of his works will produce any better fruits ? Reader, will you venture to try it ? Oh, is there not enough of the REAL in time and eternity to make one seek to avoid the ficti tious—nod that especially when one of its very writers says as the end of the whole matter, "I ant gloomy ani unhappy ?" 'WHY ONE SHOULD NOT SwEAR.—An ar ticle in the Pittsburg Preacher gives seven good reasons why a man should not swear. 1. It is mean. A man of high moral standing would almost as soon steal a sheep as swear. 2.. It is vulgar—altogether too low for u decent man. 3 It is cowardly— implying a fear either of not being ,believed or obeyed. 4. It is ungentlemanly. A gen tleman, according to Webster, is a genteel man-:-.well bred, refined. Such a one will no more swear than go into the street to throw mud with a loafer. 5. It -is indecent -'—offensive to delicacy, and cstremelrurip.i for human ears.' 6 It is foolish. `'"Want of decency is want of sense" -7.
