his sermon assailed those very sine for which
the monarch was notorious, and ho was stung
to the quick, for the truth always finds a
response in the worst man's conscience He
would not bend beneath the authority of
God, and he therefore sent for Latimer, and
said: "Your life is in jeopardy, if you do not
recant all you said today when you preach
next Sunday. The trimming courtiers were
anxious to know the consequence of this, and
the chapel was crowded. Latimer took his
text, and after a pause, began with a solilo
quy, thus: Nov, Hugh Latimer, bethink
thee, thou art in the presence of the King
of Kings and Lord of Lords. who hash told

Oh! many a nook enchanted,
In virgin beauty Brest—,
With Eden freshness haunted
-Is wooing in the West,
And many a fount is flowing.
With none to hear its tale,
And only wild flowers showing
Its•pathway in the vale !
Like some remember'd scene, •
In boyhood's dream of fairy—
Where man has rarely been!
And many a sunny highland,
Is gleaming far away—
And many a spicy Island,
_Where-summer-hues-to`-stav

Like winged lustre sporting,

Beneath the midnight moon.

With joy our breasts were swayed
The hammock too, Erwin lost its charms,
And sleep its balmy power,
When list'aing to -those dulcet tones,
Those songs at night's still hour,
Merrily followed tune afier tune,
Hannoniouriwith the breaker's roar.
Full—measured and melodeons.
While lying on the oar.
Too soon the silvery hum- did cease,
Of music's gentle strain,
Come in the cool soft evening hours
And sing those songs again.

The Way,,to Speak to Boys•
Many years ago a certain minister was go,.
ing oop Sunday 'Morning to his school room,
Ile walked through a number of streets; as
be turned a corner, he saw assembled around
a pump'a party of little•boys who were play
ing at marbles. On seeing him approach,
they began to pick up their marbles arrl run
away as last as they could. One little fel
low. not having seen him as soon as the Teat,
could not accomplish this so soon, and before
he had suseeeded in gathering up his, mar•
bles, the minister had closed on him and
placed his hand upon his shoulder. They
were face to face, the minister of God and
the poor• little ragged boy who had been in
the act of playing marbles on Sunday morn
in.., And how did the minister deal with
the boy? for that is what I want you to ob
serve. •
Ile might have said to the boy, "What
are you doing here? You are breaking the
Sabbath? Don't you deserve to be punished
for breaking the command of God?"
But he did nothing of the kind. He sim
ply said, "Have you found all you marbles?'
'No,' said the little boy, have not'
Then said the minister, 'I will help you to
find them,' wheretpon -he knelt down and
helped to look for the marbles, and he
as\
did so, remarked,_t_4ked-to—play mar les
when a little boy, .very much, and I thin - I
can beat you, but I never playel marbles n
Sunday.
The little boy's attention was arrested
He liked his friend's face. and began to
'wonder _who he was Th 6 minister of the
Gospel said: „
"I am going to it place where I think you
would like to be—will you come with me'
"Where do you live?" asked the little
boy. .
"Why, in such and such ap ace," was the
reply.
" Why, that is the minister's house," ex-.
" — aimed the boy, as Abe did not suppose
1 -that Itind-of a- man-and- the minister-- of - the
Gospel could be one and the same person,
"Why," said the man, "I am the minister

I can do you some good."
Said the boy, "3ly band's are dirty; I can
not go.
Said the minister, "Here is a pimp—why
not wash?"
at. tie ioy, 'Tam so little that I can't
pump and wash at the same time."
Said the minister, "Hyatt will wash I will
pum."
Ile p at once set to work, and pumped, and
pumped, and pumped; and asiae pumped the
little.;)ov w.u,hed his hands and face till they
were quite clean
Said the boy. "Hy hands are wringing wet
and I do not know how to dry them."
The minister pulled cut of his pocket a
clean handkerchief and offered it to the lit
tle boy.
Said the boy, "But it is clean."
"Yes" was the reply, "but it was made to
be dirtied "
The little boy dried his face and hands
with the handkerchief, and . then accompan•
ied the minister to the house of worship.
Twenty years after, the minister .was
walking in the street of a large city, when
a tall gentleman tapped him on the shoulder,
and looking into his face, said "You can't
remember met."
• "No," said the minister, "I don't."'
"Do you remember, twenty years ago,
finding a little boy playing marbles around a
pump? Do you remember that boy being
too dirty to go to school, and your pumping
for him. and you speaking kindly to him, and
taking him to school."
"Oh,' said the minister, "I do remember'
"Sir," raid the gentleman, "I was that
boy. I rose in business and became a lead
ing man I have attained a good position in
society; and on Booing you to day in the
street, I felt bound to.eomePto you, and say
it is to your kindness and—Christian _disere,
tiou that I owe, under God, - all I have at

worth.
The Silent Tongue
The art of silence, if it be not one of the
floe, is certainly one of the useful arts. It
is art attained by few. How seldom do we
meet with a man who speaks only when he
ought to speak, and says only what he ought
to say! That the 13ihle4anjoins its attain
ment is most manifest. It commands us to
make a door and bar for the mouth. It de
Glares that if a man bridleth not his tongue,
his religion is in vain. The attainment .of
this art will enable us to avoid sayiu. foolish
things. We often sneak without r:Tflection,
and, of consequence, foolish thoughts, or cx
•pressions destitute of thought are uttered.—
Possessed of the art of silence, we shall not
speak what ought not to he spoken. Again,
it will enable us to avoid saving hurtful things
Slime we are placed in the world to do good,
dud since the-endowment of speech is one of
the greatest means of irflueueo, it is not t.
uoseenlingly for us to osier that wide!, t•liall
d‘i iojury le whose business it is to root
out the tares should not scatter their seed --
It will enable us to govern our feelings and
direct our trains of thought. lle who gives
expression to his feelings increases their
strength. lie who gives expression to anger
for example, increases its power - over
He who gives utterance to improper thoughts
will increase their number. It will increase
our influence with• oitr follow men. 'A fool
uttereth all his mind,hut a wise wan keepeth
it until afterward:. Gravity and t irserve are
associated with wisdom. Even an effected
gravity Is sometimes affective—the true art
of silence ever .We can be useful only as
we-are ieflueluial.

Tenacity of Life
A remarkable instance of the perservation
of life without sustenance for a lengthened
period has lately occurred at Ponkikau, near
Grossienhayn, in Saxony. On • the Bth of
December last, two brothers, named Musch•
ter, were engaged in digging a deep well,
when the earth fell in 'and completely buried
them. ". A third brother went doivn immedi
ately, but was not ab.le‘fameelve the slight
est sound. Some cabers were then set to
work, and dug for some days, but without
success; and it was so generally believed
that the poor fellows could not possible be
alive, that orders had been given that, unless
the relatiies insisted on proceeding, further,
the well should be filled up, and a monument
to the memory of the Muschters erected
over it. Eight days had already elapsed
since the accident, but the mother of the
entombed would not give up all hope, and
some fresh hands began to work again,
though only in the expectation of finding
the corpses. To their, astonishment, how
ever, they suttlealy heard from below the
words, "Do not strike so. hard.'' A conver
sation commenced, the work was pushed for-
ward with renewed diligence, and at length
crowned with success.
On the 19th of December, after they had.
been - eleven days sad four hours in this liv
ing grave, the two Musebters, were rescued
and brought to the surface. The earth that
, hadiallen in bad left a cave above them.—
" heir only sustenance during this lone , per ;
had been the water that oozed through
the earth and a little tobacco which they had
chewed. They had a watch with them,
which they wound regularly, and were, there.
fore, able to keep an account of the time of
their burial. At first they lighted lueifer
matches to see -the time, but when these
were all used they felt the hands. They
had heard the conversation above them, re
specting the fiCing up the well, and shouted,
but could not make themselves heard. They
had also-smag-Itymas together, and the_peo
ple at the surface had heard it faintly, but
being not a little superstitious had attribut
ed it to angels in the air: - •

The Mad Stone.
Whatever may be said regarding the quali
ties of the mad stone, certain it is a great
deal of confi•lenee is repos.' in it, and its ap•
plication is resorted to with wonderful re
sults.
-We have a• case in hand. The party is a
ladyhe name of Adamson, from the vi.
cinitrof Uniontown, Ky. On Sunday, the
13th, a rabid dog entered her house and
made a ferocious attack up'on a child, her
daughter, who escaped harm through—the-la
dy's interposition, but she was herself bitten
on the finger. Kitaxiag the dog to have
been rabid, she accepted the company of a'
ftiend and repaired to the residence of Air.
Carlos Johnson, in Warwick county, in this
State, soon-after, to avail herself of the med.
ical properties supposed, and by some belies , .
ed, to be possessed by a atone,
so called, in
!hat gentleman's possession. The mid stone
*is not on the premises at the time, having
last been used in this city in a similar case,
with perfect success. She then same on to
this city, and the stone was yesterday appli
ed to her finger at the Cresent City
where she is tarrying.
The stone immediately adhered with the
tenacity of a . leech.. and then fell off, as is
supposed, only when the poison.was absorbed
or the pores filled with excrement drawn
from the wound. This atone was originally
brought from England, and is of the appear.
ance of a bone, or rather pumice stone, being
porous, and of a grayish color. When the
mad stone is applied and kept on the wound
for a short period, it is taken off and boiled
in sweet milk, and again applied.
Those who have had the stone applied as
sort that it produces a peculiar feeling, as if
ser - no — elettricinfluene . e.
Mrs Anderson has-been suffering with the
pain and su , pense, not knowing what would
be her fate, but now feels wore cheerful and
confident. As soon as this case is satisfied,
two children, lately bitten by the same rabid,
dog, will have the stone applied. They are
awaiting its use.
We believe physicians generally do not ad
init,the efficacy of the mad stone yet its sue
tees staggers th e unbelievers. Surely,
there is something very remarkable about
it, as hundreds of terrible deaths are,_ to all
appearances, avoided by its use. Is this an
other proof of the power of mind over matter
or is it a triumph of matter over mind.
HONESTY.—The following anecdote of an
Indian teaches a good lesson to some people
that are more enlightened:
An Indian, being among his white neigh•
bore, asked for a little tobacco to smoke; and
--.
one of them, having some loose in : his Roe •
et, cave him a handful: The day follodi ,
rho Indian came back, inquiring for the do
nor, saying he had found a quartet of Vol
iar among the tobacco. Being told that it
was given to him, he might as well keep it,
he answered, pointing to his breast, "I got
a good man and a bad man here, and the
good man say, "It is not mine—l must • re-
Lurn it to the owner." The bad man say;
"W hyJte gave it to you, and it is your owe
now," The good man say; "That's not right;
the tobacco - is yours, not the money." The
bad man say, "never mind, yatt got it; go
buy some drain." The good man say, "No,
no, you must not do so.' 'So I don't know
what to do, and think to go to sleep, but the
good and the bad mad kodp talking all night,
and Vouble me; and now 1 bring the money
back I tee! good.

The New York LEDGER contains the fol,
lowing remarks, from the pen of Fanny Fern:
"Row often have I seen a face loitering at a
church threshhold, listening to the. sWelling
notes of the organ, and longing to go - , in,
were it not for the wide social gulf between
itself and those assembled—l will not say
worshipping—there. And I know if r the
clergyman inside that church spoke as bis

tion, as the door swings on its hinges in
some poor creature's fate, and he wanders
forth to struggle, unaidedi as best he may
with a poor man's temptations. Our Roman
Catholic brethren are wiser. Their dread is
not my creed, save this part of it: That
the rich and poor meet together, and the
Lord is the maker of them all. I often go
there to see it. lam glad when a servant
drops on her knees in the aisle, and makes

her spiritual wants, and then pass out to the

heart all the same that one man is as good
as his neighbor, at least there—before God ;
I breathe freer at the thought. I can sit in
a corner, and-watch !them pass in and out,
and rejoice that every one,' however humble,
feels that he or she is to that church, just
as mneh as the richest foreigner, from the
cathedrals of the old world, whom they may
jostle in going eut.".
Fortune Telling.
One of our exchanges is responsible for
the following story relative to this popular
and pernicious vice:—
Not many evenings since it is recorded
-that a sinnev.who had_escap_esl_han;ia• for
lo! these many years, was in company with
several ladies. The subject of f)rtune tell

pleaded guilty to the soft impeachmerit of
having written to Madam This and Madam
That to furnish them leaves in their future
history. Instances were mentioned of some
very remarkably developments in a_ certain
case hereabouts.-
Old It—was asked for his opinion. • He
replied: "So far as lam personally concern
ed, I know more about myself than I wish
to. I don't think any good comes of these
things. I had a friend who dressed himself
in lady's clothes and called upon .a celebrated
prophetess. He did not believe she would
discover the ,discuise but be heard what
made him exceedingly unhappy." Here
the old reprobate ceased "What did she
tell liitn?" "She told him he was to marry
soon, and emcee the MOTITEIVOF ZEN COIL

CORN AND [loos —From carefully con
ducted experiments, by dial Pent persons, it
has been ascertained, that one btp.bel of corn
willmake a little over 11,/ pounds of pork—
gross, Taking the result as a basis, the fol
lowingdeductians are made, which all our
farmerawould do well to lay by for a
_wave
pion t re- ference--T hat:
When corn sells for 12/ cents per bushel,
pork costs 1/ cents per pound.
When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork
costs 2 cents pound.
When corn costs 25 cents per bushel, pork
costs 3 -cents per pound.
.When corn costa 33 cents per bushel, pork
costs 4 cents per pound.
When corn costs 50 cents per bushel, pork
cost 5 cents per pound.
The following statement shows what the
farmer realizes in his corn when sold in the
form of pork;
When pork sells for 3 cents a pound it
brings 25 cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for 4 cents per pound it
brigs 33 cents per bushel in corn.
When • perk sells for 5 cents per pound it
brings 45 cents bushel in corn.
HOW TO GO TO BED.—llall's Journal of
Health gives the following advice how to go
to bed in winter time. Those who practice
retiring on the "cuddle up" plan will readily
fall in with the suggestions: '
"Do it in a burry, if there is no fire in the
room; and there ought hot to be unless you
are quite an invalid. - But if a person is not
in good health, it is best to undress by a
good fire; warm and dry tffirreet well; draw
'os the stockings again; jump into bed, cud
dle Up, with head and ears under cover for
a minute or more, until you feel a. little
warmth; then uncover your head; next, draw
off your o stoekings, straighteniout, turn over
on your right side, and go to sleep. If a
sense of chillness come over yon'on getting
into bed, it always will do an injury, and its
repetition increases the ill effect, without
having any tendency to 'harden' you. Na-
ture abhors violence. We are never shook-,
ed into health. Hard usage makes no gar
ments last longer."

cal fact; as the power in the world whieh

gent study, from nay one who would be con
sidered a well informed and intelligent man.
