Anecdote of Frederick the Great One of Frederick the Great's best Goner ale was lbws joaohim Von Zieten, common; ly known in Prussia as 'Father Zieten' or the Hussar King' Zieten was never ashamed of his faith.— On evety oceasioc he professed it, before high and low. Once he declined an invi• tation to come to his royal master's table, of his Lord and Master Jesus Christ. It was sacrament day. The next time he ap• _peared_at_the-palace,-the-King,-whoseinidel tendencies were well , known; made use of some profain expressions about the holy communion of the Lord's Supper, and the othe_ estelan? ; Zieten shook his grey head solemnly, stood up, saluted the King, and then said, with a firm voice: 'Your Majesty knows well, that in war I have never feared any danger, and every where have boldly risked my life--tor you nod my ootintry. I sin sill animated by the same spirit, and to•day, if it were necessary, and your Majesty commanded it, would Jay my grey head at your feet.

He felt that he had been wrong in his M it k on the faith of his general, and he was r of ashamed to acknowledge it,__ He gave is hand to Zieten—his right hand, placing the left on the man's shoulder and said, with emotion. 'O, happy Zieten, how I wish I could al so believe it! I have the greatest respect for your religion; hold it fast. This shall never happen again.' The King then rose from the table, dismiss ed his other guests, but said to Zieten. 'Como along with me to mq cabinet' What passed in that conferenee,with clos ed doors, between the great King and his greater General, no one has over learned. But Ibis we know, that the Lords own word; are now verified to Zieten—'Whosoever ahal confess Me before men, him will I also con fess before My -rather which is in Heav en.' Leff. Davis 'Speaking of the liberation of Davis, the .North American aptly says: "What a sad and humiliating thing it is that this result, and this only, has been at tained! The country thirsts for no blood.— It has excused, or seen excused by its agents, nearly every individual who was arrested for complicity in the greatest treason and crime of all the ages. It has restored their prop erly to red•handed traitors. It has exccu• ted none. It has bards! ed none. And now the very pith and essence, the animating cause, the devisor and supporter, the execu tive and representative of the grand crime, walks away unscathed amid the bows of those whom be sought to destroy, to. be wel c6rned by those who were with him in his of fence."

A Sad Story. The Austin (Tekas) Gazette narrates the Weaving melancholy incident of the death of two children who bad become lost in the woods. They wore twine, a 'brother and sister, four years old, named Dunbar, resid ing in Limestone entity.

The explanation of this, to our mind, is plain. When night came on there was a sud den change in the weather peculiar to this region, called a wet norther. The effect of t eco d on the human system is well known. The children became more drowsy as- the piercing wind chilled through their tender bodies, until they could resist the influence no longer, and then, in a half unconscious state, thinking they were at home, they pull ed off their shoes and stockings, and, as it seemed to them, went to bed. And so, lock ed• in each other's arms, they 'fell asleep to awaken in heaven' AWanderer Returns Rome. Within one month of twenty years ago, a lad, about fifteen years old, named Kennedy, whose father, Mr. Neal Kennedy, resided in South Easton, was corrected by his parent for some misconduct. The punishment was mote than his youthful spirit could endure, and, resolving to run away from home, he took his departure surreptitiously the after-- noon of the day on which he was chastised. Although hikanxious parents sought every means to obtain some information of their 'prodigal son,' all their efforts were in vain, and no clue of his whereabouts could be found. Near twenty yenta have elapsed since then. his relatives have for eighteen years mourned for him as dead. The fath er, Mr. Kennedy, has remained in South Easton since the time of his son's departure, and other children have been added to his family. The wanderer was spoken of as one never to be seen again. His early coin panians have grown into manhood'e estate, and few remain in our midst who remember the wanderer and his departure. But.the strangest.partof this romance re mains to be related. On Friday last a mid dle aged man called at the Leip,h Valley shops in South Easton. and seemed intent won finding some one for whom he was look lug, and at last espying Mr. Kennedy, the older, at work in the yard, he walked up to him and announced himself as his aon,whom ho supposed was deed. The scene which followed can better be imagined than our feeble pen can picture it. Unable . to recog nizo in the man before him the son, who, a more stripling, had loft his home so ma ny years ago, Mr. Kennedy yet found evi deuces to satisfy himself o f his identity. The wanderer was conducted to the home of hie parents, to see his mother who had long mourned and prayed for his return. And hero we must draw the veil which ev er hides the private matters of the family from the public gazer.

A friend gives us the account of a most terrible ease of the burial of a handsome young lady at Jacksonville, Illinois Some time last summer a young lady of seventeen years of age, suffering with the toothache, went to bed with a small vial of chloroform for the purpose of quieting her teeth. In the morning she was found to all appearane es, dead, which was confirmed by the op ionions of several physioians who wore called and examined her body. She was then bur ied. A few days since her relatives were a bout to "remove from Jacksonville, having located in another State, and had the remains of the young lady exhumed for the purpose of taking them to their now home. Curiosi ty prompted the opening of the coffin, when they were horror stricken on finding the corpse turned over, both hands full of hair and her clothing torn to shreds, revealing the horrible truth that the young lady had boon buried alive. The chloroform ha d placed her in a deep trance, the awakening from which was in her coffin and grave. The lady was engaged to be married — it the time of her supposed death.
