Death on the Pale Horse.
RV J. 0. SEAVER.
Death, relentless and unsparing,
Daily rideth forth to slay;
Rage on all his features bearing,
lie'er relieved by mercy's ray.
Fierce on vacancy he gazes,
Looking neither left nor right;
In his eyes fierce fury blazes,
And his brow is black as night.
On he rides with fierce abandon,
Never halting for respite;
Hurling forth his darts at random,
Ali uheeding where they strike.
Nought cares he for saint or sinner,
For the feeble or the strong,
So that in the race he's winner—
Heedeth none among the throng
Beauty bath no charms to stay him,
Helpless innocence he spurns;
Vain for mercy 'Lis to pray him,
To destroy he only turns.
See! those dreadful arms displaying,
Poised on high above his head
Lightning shafts, to do the slaying
For the harvest of the dead.
In his train as he advances,
Come the scourges of mankind—
War, and pestilence, and famine,
All, his mandates seem to bind.
Sees he not that lovely infant
Smiling'neath his oourser's tread?
Onward still!---and on the instant.
Numbers it among' the dead.
Now implores the blooming maiden ;
Will he to her prayer give heed ?
Sweet one! to the distant Eden,
Through death's door thy soul must speed
Oh ! a grinning demon is be,
And his eyes with hatred gleam;
Faintest show of love or pity
Ne'er is on his feature's seen.
Ghastly with a livid pallor,
Grinning with demoniac rage;
Men of might, and men of valor
Dread his fury to engage.
Through untold and unknown ages,
From the birth of Life and Light,
Death bath redened history's pages
With the records of his might.
God to Death has empire given,
And our mortal life we owe
As a toll from earth to heaven,
And relief from earthly woe.

Imperisbable.
Th,) pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulse to a wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth:
The longings after something lost,
The spirit's yearning cry;
The strivings after better hopes—
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretohed forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves the friend indeed!
That plea for mercy softly breathed
When justice threatens nigh;
The sorrow of a contrite heart--
These things shall never die.
The memory of a clasping hand,
The pleasure of a kiss,
And all the trifles sweet and frail
That make up love's first bliss;
'lf with a firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have clasped, those lips have met;
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as it fell,
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept—
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do ;
Lose not a chance to, waken love,
Be firm, and just, and t'rue.
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee—
These things shall never die.

" Home again, home again," sang fair
Marian. Dane, as with quick, elastic, step
she tripped along the passage, drawing off
her right-hand glove as she came. " Home
again, home again; oh, I am so glad,
mother I"
"Why, dear, have, you not enjoyed your
self at the association ?" asked Mrs Dane,
after returning her daughter's ardent salu
tation.
" Some things I enjoyed, mother, but
oh I have been so disgusted, so dis
gusted !" and the little scowl and shake of
the beautiful head, indicated the feeling,
even more impressively than the emphatic
words.
"Why, Marian, what could possibly oc
cur „at-the Teaeher's Association to beget
such intense disgust. Were the leetures-i-
"Oh, it was not the lectures, or debate;
they were quite tolerable ; but, mother, I
daw gentlemen of education and refine
ment, smoking cigars, aye, smoking, pol
luting the air of heaven with foul tobacco
smoke, as they walked the streets."
" And did it destroy your enjoyment,
dear, to witness a habit so common ? Uer
thinly, it was not unusual to see men
smoke."
" Not to see low, ignorant, uncultivated
men using tobacco. I knew they were
much given to the degrading:vice, and I
regarded it as a part of their degradation,
together with intemperance and . profanity ;
nay, I have even half excused the misera
ble looking creatures, with dirty pipes r and
cigars in their mouths, on the score of their
ignorance. I have said their enjoyments
are low and sensual, they know-nothing of
taw:delights of mentakcalturei Aherhave
no intellectual enjoyments; and it is not
so strange that they. take pleasure in draw
ing smoke into the mouth, and blowing it
out again ; but to see gentlemen of elevated
mental culture, using the lungs that. God
has given them for health and life, n puff
ing tobacco smoke;e ugh 1 the,sight-sick
iens,me... Oh .'I I never dreamedl;o444oB=
would mob 1" •
Mrs. Dane smiled at her daughter's
earnestness.
Aly Marian was ignorant of the small
vices of mankind. She must know, how
ever, that other educated men are addicted
to the disgusting use of the stimulating
weed. Our pretty village is remarkably
exempt from the polluting habit, and it is
not strange that you were so happily igno
rant respecting its indulgence among men
of refinement."
" Would that I could have remained in
blissful ignorance, mother. But I bad
already learned what you have just told
me. For, as I looked from the parlor win
dow where we teachers were sitting, I saw
the President and one of the lecturers
walk past, each with a cigar in his mouth.
I was so shocked that I expressed my sur
prise in my usual demonstrative manner,
and we had a long talk upon the subject.
Miss Prind said she had seen her minister
smoke in the vestibule of the church, and
Miss Langley—you know that she, called
here once with Mr. Nellin—said that the
members of their Band of Hope were very
indignant, because a clergyman lectured
before the Society
,who c4eiccq tobacco.
They thought be had: no right—to talk to
them with defiled lips. And then Miss
Bolden; first assistant in Mr. 'Dorman's
school, told us that she was once entreating
a young gentletnan who had travelled much
abroad; to abandon the use of tobacco, and
while trying to excuse his fault,' he told
her that her model clergyman, the Rev.
Dr. So and So, would privately smoke a
eigar,.and when she confidently defended
the D.D. from the charge, he assured her
that he himself had the pleasure of smok
ing a nice cigar with the ail., the Sum:
mer previous, in a specified hotel in Paris.
Do you think it can be true, mother ?"
"I fear it is. I have been informed by
reliable persons, that many gentlemen who
stand well at home, often yield to tempta
tions when abroad."
" Then they are not good men, and I
despise their indecision. A character de
pendent upon circumstances for purity is
not pure at tall. Oh, I have no respect for
the man who uses tobacco."
" Marian !" Mrs. Dane glanced timidly
at the half opened study door.
" I cannot help it, mother. Think a
moment: the man who indulges his de
praved appetite in using tobacco, strongly
condemns the poor •inebriate who . cannot
control his burning thirst for the intoxica
ting cup, and yet the principle is the same
in either case, although the effects of in
dulgence may be dissimilar. I contend,
therefore, that the drunkard is no more to
be censured than the lover of tobacco."
" Certainly not, my child; but then in
point of principle ; may not my , own Marian
be equally guilty with the two?"
Mother !" The young lady's eyes
•
grew very large.
" Nay, dear, look at the subject calmly.
In the cases mentioned, inclination or de
sire is uncontrolled, ungoverned by reason
and judgment. It is simply a want of self
denial. Now• I ask again, in point of prin
ciple, may not my dear Marian be equally
guilty ?"
"Unwittingly she may be; but let
me be conscious of it, mother—let me
but see the evil effects of a habit freely
indulged, or an evil desire uncontrolled,
and no self:denial shall be too great; no
self-control too rigid for me to exercise.
But the tobacco, lover and the inebriate
will admit the evil effects of the habit, and
still continue its indulgence. You certain
ly would not attempt to excuse them,
mother !"
By no means, Marian ! I would only
have you ' Speak gently of the erring.'
You often use strong terms."
" Perhaps so—but I am sure I can find
no words that can adequately express my
feelings. Men call women the weaker
vessel,' but let them fuse all her weaknesses
into one, and it will not be equal in mag
nitude to what they exhibit in their dis
gusting use of tobacco."
"One thing is certain," said Mrs. Dane,
with a mirthful twinkle in her eye ; "young
men must be guiltless of tobacco, if they
would aspire to the hand of Miss Marian
Dane."
" Indeed they must.; but I do not care
to joke, mother. This is a serious subject,
and I have been sorely pained by the facts
that have forced themselves upon my belief.
I would not have gentlemen abandon vine
for woman's sake, though that were a better
motive than none; but for their own sakes,
for the sake of their children, and the good
of the world, and because they would be
better and happier men to abstain from
everything of a polluting character. And
it is their duty to be pure. Oh, it is mys
terious why man, with all his boasted
strength of Mind, will become a slave to
appetite 7"
" There are many mysteries in life, Mar
ian ; but waiving that, please tell me what
you would have these learned inen do, who
are already given to bad habits ?"
The young lady was too earnest to notice
the peculiar expression of her mother's
lips, or . follow her glance study-ward. .
" Do-o, why it is plain what they should
do. They should obey the Saviour's com
mand and ' szn no more.' It is noble to
break away from a wrong habit. It is
beautiful, grand, almost' sublime, to bring
the appetites, and passions in,meek.submis
sion to the higher faculties of the mind,
and God's holy law. Every principle of
holiness requires it, and good angels will
assist one in the noble work."
" A conquest, a conquest. Fair lady,
behold the trophies of your victory."
Marian started at the first sound of that
deep base voice, and looking toward the
study door saw a tall gentleman standing
there. As he spoke •he threw an elegant
little cigar case to the lady's feet.
" Cousin Gerald l" she exclaimed, and
sprang toward him. " Why did you not
tell me, mother ?"
"Glad she did not, cousin mine. I have
been listening to an argument; my under
standing is convinced; henceforth I dedi
cate lungs and lips to a. nobler use than.
smoking. Witness my pledge, aunt
Annie."
"But, Gerald," said Marian, " I did not
know—l did not think "—but what with
the- laughter of her mother, and cousin,
and her own confusion, she was glad of an
excuse to run away; so, spurning the ci
gars with the tip of her boot, she gathered
up shawl and gloves and .hurried -to her
chamber.
" Why did you not sleep ?" smilingly in
quired MN. Dane of her nephew—a law
yer of great ability, who:happened to arrive
while Marian waS absent at'the " Associa
tion."
" Oh, I heard•my cousin singing, and I
listened for a song, and so .I got a lecture.
But, wasn't that a point in the child's ar
gument touching learned. men. I do not
wonder at her disgust. Why in the world
have I never seen it in this light before ?

of myself ! But 1 have dune with the
habit."
" Are you in earnest, Gerald ?"
"Let my future answer that question.
Look here, aunt Annie," continued the
lawyer, with a dash of vehemence in his
tone, "do you believe men would give
themselves up so to the use of tobacco, if all
ladies were as firm in their disapproval as
is my cousin ?"
" Perhaps not. Marian is very much
like her father." Mrs. Dane's tone said
plainly that Marian's father was much
purer than other men.
" Yes she is. I have often admired my
uncle's inherent purity, and his outspoken
disapproval of everything of ,a polluting
tendency. Strange that his nephew should
have acquired such habits. Marian's dis
gust is infectious. I loathe myself."
" But it is meritorious to conquer au
evil habit."
" Yes, yes, but better far that the habit
never had been contracted. Somebody has
said, whenever you see crime, you may_ be
sure that woman's hand has helped. it
along—now I am ashamed to acknowledge
it, but I really believe I should' never have

Fishkill Landing, Newliurg, and Washington's
Headquarters.
BY BENSON J. LOSSING.
Sixteen miles below Poughkeepsie, on
the same side of the Hudson, is , the small
village of Fisbkill Landing, having—for a
back-ground, in a view of it from the river,
the lofty range of the Fishkill blountains,
which form a portion of the Highlands
proper, through which the Hudson flows, a,
few miles below. Here is the Fishkill and
Newburg railway-station, and a long.wharf
that stretches over the shallow-6dd of 'the
river to the deep channel far in the direc
tion. of Newburg. That large town lies
upon the steep slope on the Westerri shore,•
and presents a beautiful'aiipearance to the
traveler by railway or steamboat, especial
ly when it is lighted up by the morning
sun. Around that old town, the site of the
old permanent settlement in' Orange Coun
ty, are clustered many associations. of the
war of . Independenee,• for. near there the
Continental Army encamped, thele it was
disbanded, and in a house yet standing, and
well preserved, Washington had his head
quarters for a long time.
The first European, settlement at New
burg, ,was commenced in 1709, by some
Palatines, who went ; up from ,New-York
for the purpose, seated themselves a little.
above Quassaic (sometimes called Cham
ber's) Creek, where the Quassaic Indians
resided, and laid the foundation of " New
borough." They obtained a patent from
Queen Anne in 1719, but. becoming dis
satisfied, they went some to Pennsylvania,
and some to Mohawk Valley. The En
glish, Irish, New-England, and Huguenot
settlers supplied their places. New Wind
sor (two miles below) and other places
were settled, and a flourishing little com
monwealth was commenced. New-Wind
sor, upon the shores of a sheltered bay
near the mouth of the Quassaie, was, for
some time, the rival of Newburg. They
were included in the - " Highland Precinct'
until 1763; when they were divided into'
separate municipalities, and so remained
until they were organized into towns, in
1788.
The house occupied by Washington was
built by Jonathan Hasbrouck, in 1750, and
is known by the respective names of " Has
brouck House," and " Washington's Head
quarters." It has been the property of the
State for several years; and a sufficient an
nual appropriation from the State' treasury
is made to keep' it, with the grounds around
it, in good order. Within it'are collected
many relics of the Revolution, the war of
1812-15, and the war with -Mexico.
In connexion with this house, as' the .
headqizarters of the army, occurred one of
the most interesting, events in the 'life' Of
Washington, to which allusion' has already
been made. It was in the 'Spring of 1183.
Peace had been 'declared; a preliminary
treaty had been signed by Great Britain
and the United States ' and the. Continental
Army were soon to be disbanded. The
civil confederacy 1938. weak. For a long
time the Congress had been unable to pay
the army, and officers and soldiers were
likely to be sent home penniless, large pecu
niary creditors of the country whose inde
pendence they had achieved. Secret con
sultations were held among. a few of the
officers.. They had.. lost faith in the. Con
gress, and began to doubt the feasibility of
republican government; and they indirect
ly offered the power and title ,of king to
Washington. He spurned the proposition
with indignation. Then an appeal to the
officers of the army was written and se
cretly disseminated, in which grievances
were set forth, and they were advised to'
take matters into 'their own hands, and;
in effect, form a military, despotism if the
Congress should not speedily provide for
their pay. Washington was informed of
the movement. He resolved' to centred,
without seeming to oppose it.' He called
a meeting of the officers, and' the suspected
ringleader of the movement was asked to
preside. When all were assembled, Wash
ington stepped forward and read to 'them a
powerful •appeal to their patriotism. His
first words, before unfolding the paper,
touched • every heart. " You see, gentle
men," he said, as he placed his spectacles
before his eyes, " that. I have grown not
only gray, but blind, in ; your service." His,
address, as usual, was short, pointed, 'con
vincing, and most persuasive. All eyes
were filled with teens. The spirit of mutiny
and revolt, shrunk abashed, and the assem
bly resolved unanimously, That the offi
cers of the American army view with
abhorrence, and reject with disdain; the"
infamous propositions contained in a late
anonymous address to the officers of the
army."' This scene did not occur at head
quarters, but in a large temporaiy building
a few miles in the interior, near where the
army lay at that time. .
In the centre of the.• Hasbrouck Honse
or Headquarters, 'is 'a large ball, 'having
on one side an enormous fire-place, -aid&
containing seven doors, hut only one win
dow. Here Washington received his ,
friends';'here large companies dined; and ;
here, from time to time, siinie , ,of .the most
d isti nguished characters of •the Revelation,
civil and military, were assembled., ,Cqlo
it el Nicholas Fish, of the Continental Army,
used to relate an interesting fact connected
with this room. He was in Paris a short
time before the death of the Marquis de
Lafayette, who had lodged many nights
beneath the roof of the " Hasbrouck
House." Colonel Fish was invited, with
the American Minister, on one oecasin, to
sup at the house of the distinguished Mar
bois, who was the French Secretary of Le
gation during the Revolution. Lafayette
was one of the guests. At the supper
hour the company were shown into a room
which contrasted quite odly with the Pa
risian elegance of the. other apartments,
where they had spent the evening. A low,
boarded, painted ceiling, with large beams,
a single small uneurtained window, with
numerous small doors, as well as the gen
eral: style -of the whole, gave, at first, the
idea of the kitchen, or largest room, of. a
Dutch or Belgian farm-house. On a long,
rough .table,.was a repast, just as little in
keeping with the refined cuisines of Paris,
as,the room was, with its architecture. It
consisted of a large dish of meat, uncouth . -
looking pastryy , and wine in decanters and
bottles;•accoMpanied by glasses and silver
mugs, :such as indicated other:habits and

Reverence for God's 'tVord.
• A writer in 'the Wesleyan _Methodist
Magazine, referring to the custom of em
phiying the Scriptures in games and rid
dles to, excite youthful curiosity, relates
thefollowing incident:
In our younger days, we enjoyed the an
quaintanee of an exceedingly well-read and
witty.man. His 'power in conversation Was
, remarkable: He, loved' religion and relig-`
ions "men; and an inquirer could :hardly
find a rogreaueealale,pr more profitable
use of an hour than to spend it in listen
.
mg to that man when, he; discussed freely a
religious subjedt able. respondent.
But he indulged in one vicious practice.
As men who wish to condense thought in
to strength, and , to brighten •it into vivid
ness, often find that the best means of do
ing so is to embodyit in Scripturalphrase,
so . he,' of whom we , speakoften: threw a
wondrous-force into his pungent lia.yirigs,
by pointing them with sacred words. We
'visited laim when he was dying ;, and
though by ranch janior to him, were fedi:
out of grateful remembrancetof the advan
tages we bad derived from his friendship,
to speak to hina of hi's prospects beyond
the grave,. They were dark, sadly dark.
Pained to the heart, we quoted,the strong
and plain words of the God of all grace.
The answer waS; terrible: "'I know them
all; I knosi them all; but I have spoiled
,the lig& to, < myself. i" And who that.
knows his own heart.is unaware that any
practice, any association of ideas which
tend to abate our deep,. heartfelt .reverence
for the Word of God, hy So much impairs
the power of the Scriptures; or rather
builds up in the soul a grave , barrier
against 'the efficacy rof that:means which
Almighty God has himself.designed for
the conversion and sanctification of oar
nature. ' -
The Greatest Peril of Liberty.
Ooe of the greatest perils that beset
free States,". says Quizot, " is found in the
averSion: of 'the - ablest and best citizens to

ington, whole history suggested the remark
of Guizot, did not leave private life till he
was summoned by the voice of his country,
and withdrew again to the shades of retire
ment as soon as the sense of duty to his
country left him at liberty to consult his
inclinations; as Cincinnati's went back to
till his little Thrill of tour acres when he
saw his country rescued from the perilous
crisis which required his services.
The remarks of Guizot will be found sup
ported
by the history of all republics, and
even of monarchies which are administered
with any regard to law and popular rights.
The very men in whose hands power is
most safely trusted, are least disposed to
seek it and to hold it ; most averse to the
humiliations and vexations which are gen
erally necessary to get office and to keep it,
and-most in love with the independence,
the tranquility, the free and full scope and
sway of, individuality, which can only be
had in private life. No man can govern
Others without partinc , with something of
his own freedom. And this is the very
last'thing that men of a high; moral, and
intellectual order are willing to part with.
