A DAUGHTER'p STRATAGEM Judge Rose lived in Belleville, on the bank of a great river in the West. Every 'oar he went to Washington, and his voice was,often heard in the halls of Congress. Yet though he was called great he was not good, because he was vesy fond of drinking wine, brandy, &c. and frequented the gambling rooms so numerous in that city. These habits gain ed upon him daily, until they conquered all his moral strength. Ilia townsmen- refused to send him as their delegate any longer. Judge Rose had an amiable wife and three pretty daughters. ~,Mary,the eldelt daugh ter, was his'especial pet. lie tholght more of her than he did of himself, and no wish of her's went unsatisfied. She was of sweet disposition, and so obedient and respect ful to her parents, and kind to every ono a bout, that she was beloved by everybody.— And though her father's dwelling was the most elegant, and they had beautiful grounds, and servants, and horses and carriages, and fine clothes, she never put on airs- as runny do, but was modest and retiring. Mr. Rose and his wife and daughters were all members of a Christain church. Ile was often suspended from its fellowship, and on promises of repentance received again. LI is influential position in society, and pious con duct of his wife and daughter, caused much pity for them and elicited much patience.— They hoped by love and'patience to restore him wholly. But all the love of his family and the church cuuld not stop this erring man in his downward course. At last so low did he fall as to lore all self respect and frequent the lowest whiskey shops in the town. Daily he want out un shaved, unwashed, ragged and almost naked, and when drunk would sing a low song which would draw around him a crowd of boys to jeer and laugh and scorn the once dignified judge. In personal appearance he.was now the lowest of the low. . . It is not to be supposed that Christians and temperance men allowed such a man to ruin himself without efforts to Rave him Earnest - and persevering endeavors were put forth, prayers were offered up, and his fami ly left ao avenue to his heart nnectered.— Ent all were alike useless and hopeless.— ilia wife and daughters wept and prayed, but despaired entirely. Mary, his pet, often hbore I to save her lather from open disgrace, if not private sin. She became very sad, and refused to attend church or go into society. When her fath erg was sober he had sense euou 'to see the change in his once happy Nary a Be empd to regret his course more for 'll r sake than his own. One morning he started as usual for the drinking shop. 1* was a horrible object, indecent to look as well as filthy. Ills wife tried to hold him brick and get hint at lenss to put on some decent clothing, but he would not yield Mdry made ber appear• anee by his side, clothed in rogs,low at the 'rock, bare artned and bonnetless, with an old whiskey bottle to her hand, 'Elk inn her faill• or's anti she said,— "Come, falser, I'm going 1 - 00.!"

Then she began to burish her bott lo and io sing one of the low songs she beard him siug iu the streets. "no buck, girl, you are crazy. Mother, take her io." "B,ut I am'going, fat r,•with you, to rui my soul and body. It 'is of no 'use to h good, while you ore going off to the bad place. You'll he loueiy th-ore . without your Alury."

"But you have been mad for a long time, and lam going mad, too. What do I care, my father is only a poor old desphied drunk ard; his daughter may as well drink and lie, in the gutter too." So Mary pulled away at her father's-'arm, and went cn to open the gate. lle drew back, sill she dragged on and sung louder. A few boys began to run towards them, and then. her father broke from her hold, and went into the house., There ho • Sat down, and putting his face in his hands, wept and sobbed aloud. Still Mary staid out. "What is the matter?" Asked Mrs. Rose. "Mary is crazy, and I made her so. I wish I was dead. Do go and get her in. I wont go out to-day." Mrs. Rose went out and told Mary what her father had said, and• then she went in. She sat down with her bottle in her hand, and all day she kept on the old rags. Mr. Rose was in a terrible state for the want of his accustomed stimulus, and frequently would go to the door but Mary was ready at his side on every occasion. Mrs Rose pre pared her meals with extra earn and gave her husband two cups of coffee, and the,lat ter part 'of the day lie laid down to sleep. When ho woke up Mary was still there in her rags and her bottle by for side. With much trembling and shaking he put on a good suit of clothes, and asked his wife to send for a bather. Then after tea he said. "I am going out." "Where?" "To the. temperance hall. Go with' me and see if I do not go there." So Mrs. Rose went with-frinthe door of the hall, Mary still saying,— "I must follow, for I'm afraid he'll go to the whiskey shop without me." -- But - his - wife saw grin - go up stairs aud en 'ter the meeting room the door closed upon him. Then she and Mary went home to re joice in trembling, at the result of the strata. Surprise, joy and some distrust prevaded the minds of the assembly . of temperance _l49theys__wh_en__Kr—Ros_e_walkod_i n invited forward and asked to speak whateirer be wished. He rose and told the tale of the day, and then added,— MINIOIMMI rens ovine to o a ow, tly crea ure; w ten I know how much lower she would have to descend if she went with me, I ahhored my self. She vowed to go everywhere I went and clo everything. I did,Could I see her do that? Her Ipveliness stained, her chime ter ruined? No, sir! if it kills me I will leave off and never touch, taste, or handle more, from this night henceforward and for ever. Awl, new, gentleman help tne to be a man again." The building vibrated with the, etee - fit, stamping and clapping, and a gush of Borg rose from those manly hearts which might have been heard for miles. Oh! "there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repent eth," end should there not be joy on earth? We hope God converted the soul of Mr. Rose, for he became a good man, and his family were very happy Rut we hope no other daughter have to resort to so pain ful a remedy to save a father. Let the Forgiven Fear A soldier whose reg,onent lay in a garrison town in England was about to be brought be fore his commanding officer for some offence. [ln was an old offender, and had often been punished. 'Here he is again,' said the'ofh• eer, on his name being mentioned; 'every thing—flogging, disgrace, imj risontuenf— has been tried with him.' Whereupon the sergeant stepped forward, and apologizing for the liberty he took, aai l,— 'There is ono thing which has never been done with him yet, sir.' '\Vhat is that?' was the answer. •\Nell, snit] the sergeant, 'ho has uev cr been forgiven' 'Forgiven!' excl.aitned the colonel, surpri sed at the suggestion. Ile reflected fora few moinents, ordered the culprit to be brought in, and asks I him what ho had to soy to the charge. 'Nothing, sir,' was the reply; 'only I am sorry for what j have done. Turning a kind and pitiful look on the man, who expected nothing else than his punish ment would be increased with the repetition of his offence, the colonel addressed him, say ing, 'Well, we have decided to forgive you!' The's°Wier was struck dumb with aston ishment; the tears started in his eyes, and he wept like a child Ho was humbled to the dust; he thanked his cflicer and retired; to be the old refractory, incorrigible man? No; he was another man front that day forward De who tells the story had hint for years un der.his eve, and a better conducted man nev er wore the queen's colors. In him kindness bent ono whom harshneSs would break ; he was conquered by mercy, and, forgiven, ever after feared to offend. A. thousand years hence, and whak,willoit matter? With what a power this thought sometimes strikes at the root of our earthly. hopes and plans. flow it relaxes our clutch ing grasp of the things for which• we are eo hotly contending W then will have be come of our racking tears, ur smiles of joy, our bitter tears of pain? • 0 er insects will occupy our places, and be toiling up bill, as we old, with their one mighty grain of sand; shrinking fettrially,ns we 41, from the crush• mg heel of fate; soyisg, as we do, that they believe in another life-after this; octing, as we do, as if this life were the elld of all.

It 4 quarters male a yard h w many will wake a gardeL? • -- HOPE . Hope is the morning star of youth, the sun of manhood, and the solace of old age. It gilds the wild imagery of youth with the fairy pencil of fancy, clothes the terrors of relentless - fate with the sunny smiles-of-am bitious dreams, and wraps the' night-fall of mortality in the russet hues of calm security. Its author is God, man its export e ternity its throne! It weaves le smiles of the sleeping babe into circling wreathes of triumph, tv ich cluster around the maternal heart, tint' e uncertainty of the future, becomes e central orb of the Present. It is indellibly written upon the tablet of every loving fathers heart, and though his wayward child may wander far away, into the dark mazes of sin, nothing but the frigid hand of death can sever the heart-strings that clasp this mighty anchor of the soul. Man is mor tal, and if such the power of Ilopo when top crating upon the grovelling ensibilities of the natural heart, how glori a must it be when reaching far beyond tis transitory state, it grasps the heavenly a d divine. If it fringes the dark drapery of life with hues of mimic gold, how bright must be its soft eninw tints of mellow light, when il)urning the labyrinths of the eternal world! Here, it goads to action, there it points to rest.-- Ambition trembles, avarice halts, and fame sinks into chaotic night, before the noontide glory of the ehristiart's hope. It soothes the agonies of dissolution, calms the surging bil lows of the dark river, and responsive to the anthems of the cherubic host, attunes the harp of victory to the melody of the skies. It lights the, tore!' of inamortality,• a n tl through'gloom, disaster and death, it waves this beacon light of triumph, and crowns the battlements of heaven with the glories of ee• lestial day?LS.

He who livect a day without doing good, loses a day; and he who makes another hap= py, is sure to be all the happier for it him self.

We ought to ob serve daily, and try to improve the time while it passes. We will soon be in eterni ty. where they will no longer reckon by hours andminutcs, or the heating of oar pulse. llow long has your clock been running? You coint it by years and months, but it runs its round by minutes, and even seconds.

"Why so?" inquired the Englishtunn, with surprise. "Pray have ypu lived mewl in the West?" "Not a great deal. I undertook to set up business in Dm:winos Rapids a while ago, but "the rascally people stolo nearly every. thing 1 had, and finally a Welch miner ran off with my wife." "Good God!" said the Englishman, 'rand you never found her?" "Never to this day. But that was not the worst of it." "Worst? Why what could be worse than stealing a rnan's'wife?" "Stealin. n his children, I should say," gala the itnplacahle Chase. "Children?" "Yes, a nigger woman, who had none of her owe, abducted my youngest- daughter and sloped and jined the lupus." _"Great Heavens! Did you Fee her do it?" "See her? Yes, and she hadn't ten rods the start o me; and she plunged into the lake and swam like a duck—and there was no canoe to follow with." The Englishman laid back in his chair and called for another mug of 'aff and 'riff, while Chase smoked his cigar and credulous friend at the same time most remorselessly. "I—l shan't go any further west —I think at length observed the excited John Bull. "I shouldn't advise any one to go," said Chase, quietly. "My poor brother once liv ed out there, hut had to leave, although his business was the best in the country." "What business was he in?"' "Lumbering—liad a saw mill." "And they stole his lumber?" "Yes and his saw-logs too," "res.

Well, my brother one day bought an oil fired black walnut log—four feet three at the butt and not a knot in it. Ile was do. termined to keep 'that log, and hired two Scott!bluer' to watch it all night. Well, they took a small demijohn of whisky tvith them, snaked the log up the side of a hill, and sat down on the lug to play- keerds just to keep them awake, you see. 'Twas a mon strous big log—bark four inches thick. Well as I was saying, they played keerds and di unk whiskey all night—and as it begun to grow dark they went asleep astraddle of the log. About minute after daylight niy brother went over to the mill to see how they got on, and the log was gone!" "And they sitting on it?" "Sitting on the bark! The thieves had drove an iron wegge into the butt end which pointed down the hill, and hitched a yoke of oxen on and pulled it out, leaving the ,Ediell and Scotebers setting astraddle of it fast a sleep.

Accompanying this magnificent gift was ap autograph letter from General Sheridan, acknowledging Miss Wright's Fervices, -which led to the General's success at Winchester, in the battle of the 19th September, 1861. Miss Wright was a young Quakeress, well known for her faith in a united nationality, and understood to he willing to aid the cause at any sacrifice, When General Sheridan was is great doubt how to act he sent a scout to the lady, who, writing upon a slip of paper, which she closed in tin foil, directed the - scout to place it in his mouth, that it might escape the enc• my's search, and thus Surnisileci the inform. lion that enabled the General to achieve his victory. • A jealous husband in Mcmphig -recently returned home in the night, and ,to his bar I ror discovered a pair of boots near his back door.
