TEE FATAL TEST. One night, while seated with some friends, the subject of courage came up for discus sion, and divers were the opinions advanced as to what it truely was, and what would be a proper test to prove the true metal from the false The ar'ument waxed warm, and twelve o'clock found us far from any decis ion. Albert O'Brien, a scion of the Emerald Isle, had been particularly boastful, and long ed for a chance to have his Milesian brave ry put to the test, boldly avowing that no Englishman ever possessed one tithe of the disregard of danger that belonged to his warmer blooded brothers. This was, of course, denied ; and Frank Leslie, a Hampshire youth, cold and passion.' less, strenulouAy maintained_that—direotly . op — te was the case; that the fiery ardor of the Milesian was like gunpowder—a flash and nothing more—a furious sound ending in smoke; while that of the Englishman was like thrice boated steal, glowing and lasting to the very death. dare do anything that you dare,' replied Albert,' his anger getting the better of his j udg men t. 'Dare you? We will see, my boy.• Wait here, all of you, until I return.' And Frank took his hat and disappeared. We heard his film step upon the stairs— heard him open and shut the door, and saw his tall form for a moment in the street.— Then it was lost tons, for the night was in tensely dark and stormy The rain swept round corners in gusts, and the wind fairly rattled the windows and howled down the chimneys. It was just the night to make one think of ghosts—the dead everything that the soul shrinks from communion or fellowship with. , I know not if other minds dwelt upon such thepaos as mine did; but certainty a spell appeared' to have fallen upon all, for eUeuce took the place vi noisy discussion, and the ,room teat a few moments before had rung with loud debate was undietu;hed as the tomb. A half whisper, (I wonder where he has gone?' were the ony Words 'spoken until--Ertihlc,returned, shook the-sleety drops Irons his person, conlytoOk. - his eeat, lighted his pipe, and renewed the-conversation with an air of pf...rfeet.uoconcern. -7 - -- • _ _ lave fulfill , DOW fulfil yoir /Well, whal ,erelinvo you boon ?AU ., t ,ta 'You know, all of you, -the - vault, 'the old graVe, yard . on the opposite ' corner-'=you -know: it, for we wore there in it this `very morning, and .remarked the peculiar manner in which: tho coffins had been placed.

You go and bring it, Albert, alone--- , without a light as I have done, and I • will Civn that you, at least, are as brave- as Englishmen.' A thrill of horror--u sickening, chilling sensation, took possession of us all as we ful ly drank in the purnort'of his slowly utter ed, carefully measured words; and every eye was turned upon the Irishman to mark the effect upon tam, Truly he was like marble'. Ever , 4 - he -IP v blotto thr' Every drop of the ruddy blooL at usually glowed beneath hie soft cheeks had been driven back to hie heart and he stood like one entraneed. That ho was nerving him self for the task I plainly saw, and that his entire nature shuddered at the bare thought of going alone and in darkness into the moul dy abode of the ancient / dead, was equally plain to me. Nothing but his pride kept him from at once- confessing his fear; and well indeed would it have been if even that had failed him. . . 'Frank is but joking.' I said, aniious to break the stony silence, anci to awake say self and companions from the dreadful night mare that had seised every heart in its icy clutches. 'l.—shall—go—and---see was the reply from the ably lips that almost refused to do 'You shall not! It is horrid—dreadful!' was echoed on' every side. 'Cowardp, all!' retorted Frank refilling his : • : I lin_ us with his cold iron grey eyes. 'You rui , :itt call roe a coward till dooms day,' I replied. 'before I'd go. It is simply a tool-hardy undertaking ' 'All afraid o.f ghosts, as I live,' again taun ted Frank. 'Albert is a medical student, and therefore, ought to be familiar with the dead.' 'You shall not go, Albert,' came from half a dozen pair of lips, and as many hands were laid upon him to detain him. °Let me go, gentleman lam no coward and yet I will not foolishly deny that the first,thought struck me with the utter deso. lateness of the undertakin g , and he put a side our bands and departed. For a moment all stood still, not knowing what to do, and then, as if by intuition, we followed him, without waitini , to listen to the mocking words and laugh ter of the cold blooded Frank Leslie. We saw Albert leap the high fence; we heard him creeping down the slimy. mossy steps; and then, even as we, too, had clatn bered over the enclosure and were letting ourselves down into the tangled grass, we heard a rattling sound a heavy fall and a shreik that pierced our brains Not another sound—and while one, more collected than the rest, hurried back to the room for a light, we' stood there with great sweat-drops upon our foreheads and tartied ly beating hearts, but otherwlse as motion less as the long mouldered dead beneath our feet. The light was brought; and rendered desperate by our feeling, we rushed down the slippery stairs in a body, and saw-great heaven! will any of us forget it? we saw the senseless form of our friend, stretched upon the stone pavement, halt covered by dead bones and the wreck of rotten coffins! We tore him from his fearful surroundings, raised him in our arms, lAEA bore him from that ghastly charnel house; and we saw as we laid him on a couch that he had the watch and chain—the fatal test—grasped firmly in one hand, while secured to a but ton-hole of his coat hung- a fragment of a coffin by the rusted screw! Of that night, of the day's that follc wed, I will not write.

The thought was madness, an he struggled to break away, when the piled up rotten shells fell bursting around him ani the ghastly rotten bones struck him on every . sidef A shriek of horror-the rest to him was chaos. With the dawn of the morrow Frank Lesslie ili , ippeared, and I never saw him again. Months after, Albert O'Brien was taken home to recover amid the verdant groves of his father's home. They were in their sweet, summer bloom when he reached them, and the minim winds whirled their leaves over his grave. A brave, generous heart ceased to beat, and a genius-lighted mind was lost to earth by a vain, foolish test; and now that more than a score, of years have passed I write the tale of horror as a warning. .People say, They shell' peas when they unsbell them; thaethey husk corn When they •iinhu4ir it; that they dust furniture when they !Indust it, or take the dust from it; and .that they skin a eAlf when they - unskin it; and that they soak Liles when they upscale them.

This is easy to say and simple to do; but do you know what great things come of just thinking ? And yet thought itself,ithough — very — mighty, is nothing we can see or smell, hear, taste - or feel. A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire one evening, watching the tea-kettle lid 'dance,' as it moved up and down by•the steam from the boiling water- 'He did not say anything, but he was thinking how much power there must be in steam, if it could move the heavy lid.

W hen a man is lying awake at night, very quiet, would you believe he can be doing what may change the lice of a million of pee , ple ?

Som a of tbem hail eidful fathers and mothers, who 441 these wicked things them selves, and there was no one to teach the children any better. Oce Sabbath day Mr Raikes had ceca• sion to go to a part of the city where was a large pin factory, and a great many people who worked there lived near it. He was shocked and grieved to see* the swarms of dirty children in the streets, who were play ing rough games, fighting and swearing.— He heard that the farmers who lived a little out of town were obliged to stay at home to watch their fruit trees on Sundays. They said they had more trouble by thieves on that day than on any other. Mr. Raikes thOtight if he could get these Ivor little degraded,'ignorant ones into a school on Sundays, they would be kept from mischief, and taught something which might make them good men and wo•nen. He re solved to try. It was very hard work, but he suceeeded;,and other people seeing what a good and blessed thing it was, started o ther Sunday schools, till now, a hundred years after, there is one connected with al most every place of worship in England as well as America. So you . see what Mr. Raikes brought about by thinking. Poorest Man in the World Many years ago, two brothers went. from Connecticut to Western New York to live. The country was new and the land was, cheap; so these brothers, who were young men, bought a great deal of it. They added acre to .aBra, and farm to fora' until they. could go over whole townships without taking their feet from their own soil. Other emigrants came about them; and their laud, which was fertile, became f great value; so, by the time the brothers were old men, they were very rich. At last, the elder brother came to'die,and, RS he lay upon hi 3 tleathbed,i he asked to be lifted, so that ho could look from the win dow.llis-friendaliiised him upon pillows, and threw open the window. The dying man looked out over miles and miles of forest and ,bill and meadow, where grain was ripening in the sunshine, cattle and sheep were feeding, and the Genesee :River- Was friwing, through the midst in its beautiful valley. Hill, meadow; and forest were ail his—ev• erything his eyes lobked upon; and yet in a tow hours he must go away, and take nano of his riches with him—go away alone, and in darkness, and without Jesus, for lie was not a Christian. Ile had been so 'busy buy. ing farms and houses and cattle that he bad no time to think of anything else. The.rieh man looked_ from the window a long Limo at his worldly riches—at the wav ing grain, the shining river, the wide spread ing trees, and the graziiig cattle—and then, turning away his head, burst into tears, say ing, "I am the pooresc• man, in. the world."

THADDEUS STEVEN'S' GRADE.—Several years ago, when the Lancaster Cemetery was incorporated, Mr. Stevens purchased two lots, for which a deed was duly executed. Some years later, in looking over his papers, he noticed, for the 'first time, the clause prohibiting the interment of colored people in the cemetery. lie at once reeonveyed the lots to the company, with his reasons, and asked that they be put upon• record. •A short time ago 'ho purchased a couple of lots in Woodward Hill Cemetery, and when the deeds were banded to him he noticed a sim ilar clause excluding the burial of people of color. The brave old m'n declared that he could not consent to have his b,enes laid in a cernetry where any of God's . eltildren were excluded for no'fault of their own, and he promptly returned the .deeds, He 'then, on ly a few days ago ; selected 'a lot in 'Sehri nor's Cemetery,' where DO such distinction is made among the dead, and tbeao will the dust of the o),d commoner repose—not, we trust, however. until he has seen the great work of reconstructing the nation on an en durinc, basis of liberty and equal rights, which ho has so long arid so.conaintently la bored ,for,• so triumphantly. consummated. —Lancaster Ex press.

The ;a changes terribly perplex foreigners, who are never sure when tboy get hold of the right meaning of a word. For instance, a puzzled Frenchman with the word fast: 'Zis horse, sair, he go queek, what you say?' 'Yes, he is a fast horse.' 'AU! pardon, monsieur, but your friend say he make fast his horse, and he tie him to a post so he not go at all.'
