BY 'RSV. NORMAN M'LBOD, M. 13
A Highland widow left her home early
tone morning, in order to reach before even
ing the residence of a kinsman who had
IDromised to assist her in paying her rent.
,She carried on her back her duly child, a
two years old. The journey was a long
lone; I was following the same wild and
,lonely path, when I first heard, the story I
ain going to tell you. The mountain track,
:after leaving the small village by the sea
shore, • where the widow lived, passes
:through a green valley, watered by a.peace
fail stream which flows from a neighboring
lake; it:*then winds along the margin of
the solitary lake, until, near its further
end, it;-suddenly turns into an extensive
copse-wood of oak and birch.
From this it emerges half-way up a rug
ged mountain side, and entering a dark
glen, through which a torrent rushes amid
misses of granite', it at last conducts, the
traveller, by a zigzag ascent, to a narrow
gorge, which is hemmed in upon every side
by.giant precipices. Overhead is a strip
of blue aky, and below all is dark and
gloomy. , •
From this ,mountain-pass the widow's
dwelling was ten miles off, and no human
habitation was nearer' than her own. She
had undertaken a long journey indeed.
But' the rent was due some weeks before,
and the sub-factor had threatened to dis
possess her, as the • village' which'ihe
lived, and, in which her .family had lived
for •twogenerations, was about to be swept
away,.in order to enlaite a sheep-farm;.
Indeed, along the mawn of quiet
tram which watered.the green valley, and.
Along' the shore of the lake, might'everi
thew be traced the ruins of . many a:hamlet;
whirs 'happy - and contented people once
•
lived,but where no sound is heard except
the bleat of a solitary sheep, or the scream
of the eagle as he wheels his flight among
the dizzy precipices.
The morning gave promise of a lovely
day. But before noon a sudden change
took place in the weather. Northward the
sky became Mack and 'lowering: Masses of
clouds rested upon the hills. Sudden
gusts of wind began to whistle' among the
rocks, and to ruffle with black squalls the
surface of the loch. The wind was suc
ceeded by rain, and the rain by sleet, and
the sleet, by a heavy fall of snow. It was
the month of May; for that storm is still
remembered as the "great May storm."
The wildest day of Winter never . beheld
flakes of snow falling heavier and faster, or
whirling with more fury through the moun
tain pass, filling every hollow, and whitening
every rock.
Weary, and wet, and. cold, the widow
'reached that pass with her child. She
knew that a. mile beyond it there was a
mountain shielding which could give shel
ter; but the moment she attempted to face
the storm of snow which was rushing
through the, gorge,, all hope failed of pro
ceeding in 'that - direction': The return
home was equally impossible. She must
find shelter. The wild cat's or fox's den
would be welcome.
After wandering for some time among
the huge fragments of rock which skirted
the base of the overhanging precipices, she
at last found a more sheltered nook.
Crouching beneath a projecting rock, she
pressed her child to her trembling bosom.
The storm continued to rage. The snow
was accumulating overhead,. Hour after
hour_ passed. became bifterlybOld: The
evening approached. The widow's heart
was sick with fear and anxiety. Her
child, her only child, was all she thought
of. She wrapped him in her shawl. But
the poor thing had been scantily clad, and
the shawl was thin and worn. The widow
was poor, and her clothing could hardly
defend herself from the piercing cold of
such a night as this. But whatever was to
become of herself, her child must be pre
served. The snow; in whirling eddies,
entered the recess, which afforded at the
best but a miserable shelter. The night
came on. The wretched mother stripped
off almost all of her own clothing; and
wrapped it round her child, whom, at
last, in despair, she put into a deep
crevice of the rock, among some dried
heather andfern.
[Se ect cd.
And now she resolves, at all hazards, to
brave the storm, and return home, in order
to get assistance for her babe, or perish in
the attempt. Clasping her infant to her
heart, and• covering its face•with tears and
kisses, she laid him softly down to sleep,
and rushed into the snowy drift.
The night of storm was succeeded by a
peaceful morning. The sun shone from
the clear blue sky, and 'wreaths of mist
hung along the mountain-top, while a thou
sand water-falls poured down their sides.
Dark figures, made visible at a distance on
the, white ground, might be seen with long
poles examining every hollow near the
mountain-path. They are people from the
Village, who are searching for the widow
and her son. They have reached the pass.
A cry, is heard:by.one of the . shepherds; .as
he sees a bit of tartan cloak among the
snow. They have found the widow—ead ;
her arms stretched forth as if imploring
assistance !.Before noon they discovered
the child by his cries. He was safe in, the
crevice of the rock. The,story of that wo
man's affecticm for her child was soon read
in language which all understood. Her
almost naked body revealed her love.
Many a tear was shed, many an exclama
tion expressive of admiration and affection
was uttered from enthusiastic sorrowing
Highland hearts, when on that evening the
aged pastor gathered the villagers in the
deserted house of mourning, and, by pray
er and fatherly exhortation, sought to im
prove-for their soul's sake, an event so sor
rowful:
More than half a century passed away!
That aged and ' faithful pastor was long
dead, though his memory still lingers in
many a retired glen among the children of
children whose parents he baptized. His
son, whose locks were White with age, was,
preaching„ to a congregation of Highland
ers in one of our great cities. It was on a
communion Sabbath.
The subject of his discouree was the love
of Christ. In illustrating the self-sacrific
ing nature of that "love which seeketh
not her own," he narrated the above story of
the Highland widow, whom he had himself
knOvnst in hie boyhood. And then he asked,
"If that child is now alive, what would
you think of his heart, if he did not cher
ish an affection for his mother's memory, and
if the sight of her poor tattered cloak, which
she had•wrapt round him, in order to save
his life at the cost of her own, did not fill
him, with gratitude and love too deep for
words ? Yet what hearts have you, my
hearers, if, over these - memorials of the
Saviour's sacrifice of himself, you do 'not
feel' them glow`with ,deeper love, and,ader
ing gratitude ?"
A fa- days after this, a message was sent
by a dying, man requesting to see this cler
gyman. The • request was speedily com
plied with. .
The sick man seized the minister by the
hand, and, gazing intently in' his face, said x
"You det not; you cannot recognize me..
-But I. know you, and I k - new, your father be
fore you. rhave been a wanderer in many.
lands. I have visited every quarter of the
globe r and fought and.bled for my king arid
country: I came-to this town a; few weeks
ago in bad health. Last Sabbath I entered:
your church—the church of my country
men—where I could once more hear, in the
language of my youth and of my heart, the
Gospel preached. I heard you tell the
story of the widow and her son "—here the
voice of the old.soldier faltered, his emotion
almost 'choked his utterance, but' recovering
himself for a moment, he cried, " lam that
son 1" and burst into a flood of tears..
" Yes," he continued, " I am, that son 1"
Never, never did 1 forget that Mother's love.
Well might you ask what a; heart should
mine have been if she should have been
forgotten by me.? Though I never saw
her; dear to me is her memory, and my only
desire now is, to lay my bones beside hers
in the old 'churchyard among the hills.
But, sir, what breaks my heart, and covers
me with shame, is: this—until now, I never
saw, with the eyes of the soul, the love of
the Saviour in giving himself for me—a
poor, lost, hell-deserving sinner. I confess
it i I confess it 1" he cried, looking up to
heaven, his eyes streaming; with tears; and
pressing the minister's hand close to his
breast, he added, " It was God who madeyou
tell that story. Praise be to his holy name,
that my dear mother has not died in vain,
and that, the prayers which I was told, she
used to offer foil me, have been at last ans
wered; for the love of my mother has been
blessed by the Holy Spirit for making me
see, as I never saw before, the
_love of the
Saviour. I see it, I believe it; I have
found deliverance in old age where. I found'
it, in my ehildhood—in the cleft of the
rode; but it is the' ROOK OF AGES!' and
clasping, his, hands, he repeated, with in
tense fervor, "'Can a mother forget her
sucking, child, that she shOuld not have
compassion on the son of her'wornb. Yes,
they may forget, yet will -I not forget

Gen. Washington's Punctuality,
On one occasion, when Washington was
sitting for,his pertrait in,Mr..Peale'stpaint
ing-room, he looked at his watch and said.:
"Mr. Peale, my time for sitting has ex
pired ; but, if three minutes longer will be
of any importance to, you, I will remain,
and make up the time by hastening my
walk up to the State House (where Con
°Tess was in session.) I know exactly how
long it will take me to walk there; and it
will not do for me, as President, to be ab
sent at the.hour of meeting."
Mrs. Washington Was, as remarkable for
punctuality as her illistriouS husband: At
one time, during the general's absence, he
wrote to her to get Mr. James Peale to
paint her portrait in miniature, and to send
it to him. Mrs. Washington wrote a note
to the artist, saying that her presence at
home was indispensable when the general
was away, and it would not be convenient
for her to attend at'his painting-room. She
requested him, therefore,. to come to her
house for, the sittings,' and offered to accom
modate
,herself to any hour when it would
suit him to be , away from his studio. In
his reply Mr. Peale appointed seven o'clock
in the morning. When he , left his home
to keep the engagement for the first sitting;
it occurred to him that the lady' might not
be, ready 'tniee him at so -early •an
hour. He walked on accordingly, more
slowly than usual. Mrs. Washington met
him with the observation,' "Mr. Pealeii
have•been in the, kitchen 'to give my order'
for, the clay ' ; have read the newspaper; and
heard my niece her, 'lessen on the harp;
yet have waited for, you twenty minutes.,"_'
. The gentleman, of-course, felt exceed
ingly mortified, and remarked that if his
enoae^ement had been with. General Wash
ington he should have felt the importance
of being punctual to the minute ; but lie
thought it necessary to allow a lady a little
more time.
" Sir," replied Mrs. Washington, "I , am
as punctual as `the' General." It may be
imams nedthat r Mr. Peale took : care to be at
the''house the next day at the time ap
pointed.
A Little Hero.
Any boy who has courage and spirit to
do right, to tell the truth, even if it is
against himself, is a hero. About six years.
ago a small boy came from some country in
Europe. He had come alone, or nearly
alone, to St. Louis; without money, and
only the dirtiest and raggedest clothes. He
could speak our language only poorly. ' He
walked the streets in search' of something
to do. At length a kind-hearted grocery
man, took him in. He was studying 'an
English spelling-book.at every odd moment
he could get from his work. A few months
afterwards he came to my house to recite
lessons in the evening, which he could get
at snatched moments, all the while saving.
every cent` he could from his small earn
ings. When he had saved Sixty dollars, he
was admitted to, the commercial college,
and went through the course. As soon as
out, he got a good situation in an insurance
office. His faithfulness and ability soon
won him a place in .a bank, at a, salary of
fifteen hundred dollars a year. In a bank
he still is—a boy yet, I should think, not
twenty years old.

Fads Sam's Farm.
The amount of land the United States
Government has for sale is abn'ost incalcu
lable. All the people of fourteen States
and five Territories, says an exc.hange, de
riie their title to their lands from the Fed
eral Government, and the records and files
.evidencing the inception of their rights
are preserved in the General Land Office at
Washington. The 'public domain now
covers a surface, exclusive of water, of
1,450,000,000 acres. The Government has
sold but about 120,000,000 acres of :land
during the last quarter of a century, at
something' leis than $150,000,000: It will:
thus be seen, Uncle Sani's - Farm is still
sufficiently large for :praCtical purposes;iinic

still, even if he does not enlarge hiiboiders

Tin Mormons.
The Mormons, according , to their own
census, are decreasing in Utah. In 1850
they numbered 38,000; in 1857 only 31,-

They claim, however, that they areincreas
ing= in the country at large and in the
world, and they ascribe the diminution in
Utah to 'temporary causes and absences.
It is computed that there are. 82,000 hi
Great Britain and Ireland, and 7,000 on"
the Continent of Europe, besides some
5,000 in Canada, 4,000 in California, and
several thousand in the. Eastern_ States and.

lonely place of our valleys and monntains, whore there is no
pastor or evangelist to open his mouth and show the way of
salvation; rind into the crowded village of miners, farmers;
and travellers, *heat as yet there is no house of worship, we
desire to mend the EXPOISITOR, to open to them the Scriptures,
and preach unto them Jame. It. us well known that a large
number of the half million of Roils that are on this coast do
not attend any church or - emoting-house; many thousands of
them nover'llear a sermon preached from' . year to year. Wo
would furnish them with such reading as would remind them
of their early training—the home of their . youth-.--and ainso
them to seek and Serve the God or their fathers, with a per

The above Is given more ,to convey : an idea of the general

telligent religions minds.
WAbelieve a general record like this, to which every one
might turn for authentic information on all topics of current'
religious interest, has long been:wanted, and would be found
of great convenience, not only to clergymen and otherchureh
officers, bet teall interested in the moral and religious Meru-
Ments of the age. It has been the him of the puldislibrs to
suppli .this want, and 'in TICE -AMERICAN CiLItISTIAN
RECORD to present a work 'which would enable all CAtrie
tians'finniliarly to understand ono another's faith, efforts,
and strength, in which each should be aide to read. the, fast
and . present story of his particular denomination, and corn
pare it with that of others; and in which all might perceive
ata glance, fist,, the .efforts of individual institutions, and
then the` result f their united operations throwMout the

In conclusion, we venture, to,say, that so vast an amount of.
varied information on religious subjects has , never bebro,
been brought within the compass of a single volume.

JonaS Whitcomb 's Remedy,
Prepared from a German recipe obtained by the late Jonas
Whitcomb, in Europe. It is well known to have alleviated
this disorder in his case, when all other appliances of medical
skill had been abandoned by him in despair. In no case of
purely asthmatic character has it failed to give immediate re
lief, and it has effected many permanent cures. Within the
past two years this remedy has been used in thousands of
cases with attonishing and uniform success. -11 contains no
poisonous or injurious properties whatever; an infant may
take it with perfect safety.
The .fol lowing. certificates furnish conclusive evidence of
the power of this remedy :

Mn. BITERZTT:—I take pleasure in stating the wonderful
effects of "Whiteomb's Remedy for the Asthma," on my
wife. She had suffered for years more than my pen can
describe, with the sposmodic form of that terrible disease.
As often as ten or twelve times in a year she was brought to
the very gates of death, requiring two or three watchers
sometimes, for several dap' and nights in succession. At
times, for hours, it would seem es if every:breath must be the
In_st. We were obliged to open doors and windows in mid-
Winter, and to resort to every expedient that affection could
devise, to keep her alive. At one time she was so far gone
that her Physician could not count her pulse. At length I
heard of "Whitcomb's Remedy." It acted like a charm. It
enabled her to sleep quietly in a few minutes: * *
I am a Methodist clergyman, stationed here. I shall be
happy to answer any inquiries respecting her case, and you
are at liberty to make any use of the foregoing facts that will
benefit the afflicted. Yours, truly,
KIMBALL ELADLEY.

NEWBIIRTPORT, Feb. 2.5, 1856.
•
GEN. rtexmr:—lt is now nearly twelve months since I re
ceived the first bottle of your valuable medicine for the core
of the Asthma. I was determined to give it Is thorough trial,
and to convince myself that it was through its effect that I
Was being so much benefited, before I wrote you. lam now
satisfied that my relief from one of the most aggravating,
moat distressing, and most unrelenting disorders that ever
afflicted a human being, is to be attributed wholly to this
remedy. For thirteen years I suffered with the Asthma and
during thattime there were but fw months in which I did
not suffer with a paroxysm that entirely prostrated me for
two or three days, and sometimes longer. It grew upon me
in severity, until, in 1858 and 1854, Imes obliged for mouths
together, to sleep in my chair and the least active exercise
would bring on a paroxysm oftentimes eo severe that I meld
not move an inch' for honre. But it is useless for me to
describe the, tortures of the spasmodic asthma. Those for
whom this is intended know full well what it is, and I will
merely say, that from the time I took the first dose of your
?BetnedY " to the present hour. I have , not had a bad attack,
and now my syetem is so free from it that the most active
exercise and exposure seldom has any other effect than to
slightly, restrict the lungs.- Your medicine soon dispels that
sensation, and I can safely elerMa general release from the
tormentor. ,
With great respect, your obed't servant,

Extract of a Letter written by a distifigniihed Lawyer in
H aloe
GENiciarmss—l have purposely delayed writing to you
until I bad thoroughly tested the medicine, (Whitcomb's
Remedy for the Asthma.) at different seasons of the year, for
I had often. obtained relief, for a short time, from 'various
kinds of medicines, Raving no permanent good effects. 'Thus
have I tried more than thirty different specifics for the
Asthma; .until I had become worn down by disease, and
almost discouraged. When I commenced taking your medi
cine, I had been afflicted with the disease about twenty years.
It is of-the spaemodic.kind ; and in a bad attack I have fre
quently sat up sixteen nights in succession. Soon after
taking your medicine, I. found an unaccustomed relief. my
health and strength began to improve. I have gained about
twenty pounds - in weight, and have, comparatively, no
asthma. When I feel the symptoms returning, a few tea
spoonfulls of the medicine is sufficient to remove it.
It seems to sue that the very foundation of my disease has
Been broken up, and that it will soon entirely leave me. At
any rate no one that , has suffered, what. I have, heretofore,
and enjoyed - the health that I have enjoyed since -last Fall,
can hesitate to, believe that there le a wonderful power in
Jonas Whitcomb's Remedy for the Asthma. Respectfully,
yobre,
