THE DIVE AT GIVITTSBURC.
BY J. O. WHITTIER.
In the old liebrevr myth the lion's fame,
fSo terribly alivc.
Bleached by the desert's sun and wind became
The wandering wild bees' hive ; .
And he who, lone and naked-handed, tore
Those jaws of death apart,
In after time drew forth their honeyed store
To strengthen hie strong heart.
Dead seemed the,legend ; but it only slept '
To awake beneath our sky ;
Just on the spot whence ravening Treason crept
Back to its lair to die,
Bleeding and torn from Freedom's mountain bounds
A staked end shattered drum
Is now the hive where, on their flowery rounds,
The-wild lees_go_and come.—
Unchallenged. by re ghostly sentinel,
They wand,r wide. and far,
Along green hi 'aides, sown with shot end pholl,
Thrt ugh vales once choked with war.
The low revetiro of their battle-drum
Disturbs no morning prayer :
Wish deeper peamin summer noons th - eir .um
—Fills-ail-the drowar_air
And Samson's riddle is our 'own to-day,
Of sweetness from the strong,
Of union, peace, and freedom plucked away
- From the rent jaws of wrong._ _ _ _
From Treason's delth we draw a puror life,
As, from the beast he clew,
A sweetness sweeter for his hitter sidle
The old-time athlete drew !

FANNY CHESTER'S
Fanny Chester was a flirt. Every one, her
melt included, acknowledged that,
Iler old guardian, Judge Spofford watched
her perfect restlessness of conduct with an
anxious eye. listing no children of his own
be bad taken the little orphan-left to his care
into him heart es well es his home. She had
proved affectionate, good, and everything to
satisfy him save the horrible propensity of
flirting, which she had evinced almost from
her `baby days.'
Ie vain the Judge remonstrated with her;
his words had no effect whatever. •
'lf men are so weak,' she would respond
with a wicked shalre.of the head, am net
responsible. They must heat the eonsequen-
''Do yen ever intend to marry ?' the Judge
queatineed her one day.
She looked at him gravely for a moment.
'No,' she responded frankly 'My inten
tions are always to remain as now- I have
wealth, beauty, youth' and an affectionate
guardian ; what more do I want I'
• 'At present, nothing,' he returned. 'But
the day may come when all these may be
swept away. Your wealth may 'disappear,
your beauty fade, your 'youth be bat a re•
membraree of the past, sod 1, your guardian,
be mouldering in the dust. In that day what
resource would yea have left ?'
She smiled and then laughed outright.
'What a doleful picture you have conjured
up,' she ejaculated. 'lf ever such an ea•
tromity comes will teach, or sew, or do
something to itipport myself. Anything guar.
dio, would be preferable to marrying one of
the deceitful dandies of the nineteenth cen•
tary.'
'You are too hard,' the Judge rejoined
qnickly. 'There are some men left. All aro
not popirjays. For instance, look at John
Wel lace.'
The beauty curled her lips dtsdainfully.—
John Wallace to be. mentioned to her ! John
Wallace, a poor, friendlesa orphan, that had
entered his guardian's office as an orphan
boy, and had studied and worked himself up
until he was admitted
,to the bar, was too
much beneath her in social rank for even his
name to be tolerated.
'John Wallace,' she reiterated. 'Why guar
die, lam surprised that you should refer to
a man like him. One without blood or. lini
age; one who knows not but even his' very
existence may be a disgrace.'
'You have too atisteeratto ideas for repub•
Haan America,' ho responded ; and then he
longed to tell her something of her family of
which she had lived in blissful igoorance.
From that - time forth.she seemed to flirt
even more desperately than before. If she
accidentally happened to meet John Wallace
when he came to,the house to consult the
Judge, she treated him with supercillious
contempt. The Judge finished with shame.
'Fanny, dear, he ventured to say to her af
ter she had been more than usually frigid in
het conduct, 'you wound me. What pleasure
can you find in humiliating John Wallace as
you have done ? Why not at least treat him
in a lady-like manner ?'
'Because his airs annoy me,' was the re
ply. 'lle beats everything with that cold,
calm, unimpashioned bearing that seems to
say, 'I am as good as you, and do not heed
you,' which I consider to be insufferable in
soleoce from an inferior.'
The Judge sighed, but mado no com•
men?'.
. ,
• New Ye lie c...me at last, and Fanny was
preparing for a.ha/1. She looked into the
mirrors that reflected her, with evident otitis.
faction, and then swept down from her apart
ment to the Judge's libraty to aek.his opin
ion cf her toilet. Voices within attracted
her attention.

nised his voice as that of a young English.
man with whom she had bees recently made
acquainted.
The Judge hesitated for a moment.
'Miss Chester must please herself,' be Ts.
tamped, 'but as you have mentioned it to me,
I feel in duty bound to correct you in.regsrd
to a a popular belief. Miss Chester's fortune,
as well as my owe, has been lost through an
unfortunate speculation.
The fellow fairly gasped.
'ls it really so ?' he asked.
The Judge bowed his head.
'But of course that will make no differ.
ence with you, he suggested, 'as you wish to
seek my ward through no mercenary mo.

The dandy winced.

mother's early profession—an actreEs:
The Judge rose to hie fest.
'Be so kind as to leave in; house, sir,' the
Judge commanded, and the fellow slunk out.
For a moment Fanny stood like one trans.
Axed. The ceamity—that of losing her
— trealt - li -- - - - - would have appalled her, but the
other—that her mother bed been an actress
—chilled her blood. She rushed into the li
brary.
'Tell me—is it so P she questioned ago.

'Which ?' ho asked hoarsely, ber white

_LYes,l_he said 'Child, I did not

she. can etand — th - at; but - the - other tru•
miliation: we—l was so proud of my good

She took off her queenly robes, and re.
mained at home.
The intelligence , of tbe Judge's failure
flew through that city as if on the wings of
fire, and frielids who bad admired the
'rich Miss Chester , ' dropped off one by one.
The Judge left stately mansion and
they took rooms in a small, neat boarding
house. Ile watched how bravely she bore
her reverse, and sighed.
Fanny insisted upon the rld programme
which she had marked out for herself before
she had ever dreamed of being reduced.

to the Judge, when he pleaded with her to
abandon her scheme.
She went bravllly•to the trustees of the
school where she had . been educated, and laid
her ease before them. hey heard attentively
They believed there mnst be sterling quell
ties within the girl, that she could so readi
ly face her fate. They gave her the position
she desired.
The night before she was to commence her
labors the Judge called her to him.
'Fanny,• he said 'in six months from this
day I was to give you up your property to
your own care and be your guardian no lon•
ger. What can yon think of the way I have
fulfilled my trust ?'
She threw her arms around his neck.
'Do not think of say loss, guar.lie,' she ex
claimed. 'You bare been a father, a true
good father to me. I have been a butterfly
of fashion, but now you shall sea that I can
be something else'
Ile pressed her convulsively to his breist.
'God will reward you,' ho said ; I knew I
was not miattkon in your nobility of charac
ter,
For months she filled her , position as teach
er honorably, and declared herself hscpier
than she had ever been in her life before.
John Wallace visited the_ old_ Judge in
their humble lodgings much more frequent
ly than-in their prosperous days.
Fanny was very pleasant and seamed anx
ious to erase the rudeness of the peat from
his mind. Their intirr toy ripened into friend.
ship, and from friendship into love.
The Judge looked on with intense satisfac
tion.
The anniversary of Fanny (nester's twen
ty first birthday came, the day on,whieh he
was to yield up his control on her.
wish you to take a ride with me, Fanny

They drove to hie old residence.
`What does this mean?' she asked with
flashed cheeks.
'I mean that I have taken a fancy to visit
our old home,' he ventured. 'Yon know it

left it.
She made no response She followed him
up the high brown stone steps into the
house. He led her into the library and of-
fered her a chair.
He then took a roll of papers - and laid
them before her.
'This is your birthday, my dear ; ' be said,
'and I render up to you all that which was
entrusted to my earn. I knew you were no
ble and good, and had a strength of charac
ter which you yourself unaware of. Lov
ing you as I did and do, it pained my heart
to see you that shallow creature—a woman
of fashion and flirt. I knew you knew not
your own heart, and judged your friends
wrong. Io all things else but this one you
were perfect, and before I relinquished till
claims to you I wish to open your eyes. 11Iy
poverty, your lON, was but a pretense. Can
you forgive me ?'
She sprang from her chair. She buried
her face in his bosom and wept.
'I thank you,' she said, when her emotion
subsided sufficiently to allow her to speak.
'you have taught me a lemon which I
shall never forget. I will never again be
useless, foolish creature of the past.
The Judge was satisfied, and he wiped a
suspicious moisture from hie eyes.
'And John Wallace?' she inked with a
questioning lock.
'Believed ea you did, my dear.'
She made no comments.
The circle iu which she reigned supreme
was surprised to hear that her poverty was
but a freak to teat their friendship, sod mr•
ny of the heartless dandies cursed their stn.
pidity in giving her up so easily.
A month passed, and John Wallace had
not called. lie sent in his congratulations
to the Nudge and ekes Chester,' but that
was all.
Fanny wrote him a note.
Mr. Wallace obeyed the summons. Six
months later Fanny (Theater became F,anny

simpleminded are always natural. They are,

which often lead men to barter honor and
honesty for display.
8. If there was less strife in dress at
church, people of moderate circumstances
would be far more inclined to attend.
4. Universal moderation in dress at church
would - improve the worship by removal of
wondering thoughts.
5 Lt would enable all classes of people to
attend church better in unfavorable teeather.
6. It would lemon, on the part of the slob,

7. It would lessen, on the Fart of the poor,
the temptations to be envious and malicious.

NG, JANUARY 12, ISM
The Rescue
Several years ago a ship was burned near
the mouth of the English Channel. Among
the passengers were a father mother, awl
their child, a daughter, not many months
old. When the discovery was made that
the ship was on fire, and the alarm was given,
there was great confusion, and this *family
because separated. The father was rescued
and taken to, Liverpool, but the mother and
her infant were crowded overboard, and un
noticed by those who were doing all in their
power to save the sufferers still in the ship,
they drifted out of the channel with the
tide, the mother clinging to a fragmentsof
the wreck with her little one clasped to her
breast..
Late in the afternoon of that day, a vessel
bound from Newport, Wales, to America,
was moving along slowly to her course.—
There was only a sleight breeze, and the cap
tain was impatiently walking the deck, when
his attention was called to au okject some
distance off which looked like a person in
the water. The officers and crew watched
it for some time, end, as no vessel was near
from which any one could have fallen over
board, they thought it impossible that this
could-be a human being. But -as- their - yes ,
eel was scarcely moving, it was thought best
to get out a boat and row to the olker,—,
The boat was accordingly lowered and man
ned. It was watched with ecesiderable in•
tercet by those who remained on board, and
they noticed - that, as it drew near to the
dada : tf.eek the. rowers rested on their
wo or threo minutes, then moved for
ward, took - in the ohj act - or - thing, tiroy-know
not which, and returned to the ship. When
the bet l's craw came on bard they br,onght
with them this mother ant her ohill alive
and well; and the sailors sail that, as thif
Arew.near, Oaf - heard a female voles sweet
ly singing. Ae with a common impulse the
men ceased rowing and listened, anti then the
_words_of the beautifui hymn, sung by. Ibis
trusting Christian, all unconscious that de
liverance Was so near, oome over the waves
to their ears: - -
iCEIIS lover of my soul,
Let me to Tby bowie fly,
White the waters near me roll,
While the 'tempest still is high ;
Me me, 0 my Savior hide
'Till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
Ohl receive my soul at last.
In due time the vessel arrived in Amer.
lea. The mother wrote to her friends io
England, and thus the father learned of his
wife and child, and in • about four months
from the time-of their separation they were
happily reunited. •
What a beautiful illustration the incident
affords of the truth that dod never forsakes
those who love Him. A child of His may
be placed in circumstances of great trial,
suffering with pain, sickness, 'lei, jti the
desert, in peril at sea, , drifting away as it
may seem from all earthly help as were this
mother and babe oat upon the deep, but
who has trusted in llim is never out of His
sight, never where He cannot hew their cry
for help.
MORE Soot 1 1 L 0 ATEER mos.—These ate
so few and far between in some farming com•
munities, that if folks didn't go to church
on Sunday, they would forget how each
other looked. In sparsely settled districts it
is no wonder that the ehurch.gt - ers improve
their intermission to compare notes and ea•
change salutations, not quite in accordance
with the fourth commandment, for it is the
only chance they hare. If they are thereby
kept in the habit of going to meeting, we
can excuse a little laxity in their social in.
tercouree on Sunday. But we want more
social gatherings during the week. As
things now are, how few we:really know, oat
of our own family circle, and her - ,\ any of
our own town are es much :, t ete as
though they lived a thousand ',. aw.y.
I
flow many prtjudiees are m °hod \ ' l ay ,y a
pleasant social gathering. Bow i. , .. warm
friends aro made out of comparative . ran
gers, and we all setiarateohinking better
eaoh other and the world at largo. non
many worth knowing aro never otherwise
found out, and if there were more social
gatherings in the country, bow many - young
folks would be more contented.
A WITTY RETORT.—At a court hold in
Lynchburg, Va., a distinguished momber of
the bar, appealing to the court for the din•
charge of his client, wound up with the
statement that if the court sent him on for
further trial, a stain would be left upon his
character that could not be washed off 'by
all the waters of the blue ocean, and all the
soap that could be manufactured from the
ponderous eareass of the commonwealth's
attorney. To thTs the ponderous attorney
replied, that, while he 'deemed it foreign to
the case at the bar, he desired to advise the
court, if they ,thought it advisable to boil
his body into soap, that they should look to
the opposite council for the 'concentrated lie
out of which to make it ?'
Court, bar, and spectators exploded, and
our informaot kooweth nothing more even
now.
A laughable thing took place at a revival
meeting somewhere in Mississippi not long
since. The minister notieed,a seedy looking
chap in one of the seats, se though he need.
ed religion or a good square meal. So he
stepped up to him and asked him if ho was
a Christian. !No, sir; said be, 'I am the ed
itor of the Democratic paper in this place.'
'Thou, in the name of God, let us pray,' re.
plied the deveted.ministar.

Take Care of the .Feet:
'Of all parts of the body,' says Dr Roberts
on, •there is not one which ought to be to
carefully attended to as the feet. Every:
person knows from eipsrienoe that colds

tbs same, are attributable to otild feet. The

there. Yet, for all this, and although every.
person of counr.on sense sbould.be aware of ,
the truth of what we have stated, there is.
no part of the human body so much trifled ,
with as the feet. The young and would be
genteel fosted cramp their toes and feet in,
to thin-soled, bone pinching boots and shoes,
in order to display neat feet, in the fashion
able sense of the team. There is one great
evil, against which every person should bo
on their guard, and it is one which is nut
(thee guardici against—we mean the chew
113 r, of warm for cold boots or shoes. A
