And the child sported in the freshness of
the morning ; nhil us slie hovered the gar
dens and dewy lawns, her wings gliitcrcd
in ihe sun beams like a tainbow.
“Come, my sister,” she cried; “and chase
with me the’ butterfly from flower to flow
er.” ' J
But her sister was gazing nt the lark, ns
it arose from its low nest and warbled a-
motig the clouds.
And when it was noon, the child said
again:-“Come, niv vislcr, nnd pluck will)
me the flowers of ifie garden, for they arc
beautiful, and I heir fragrance is sweet.”
But Fnilli replied:—“Nav, my sister,
let ihe flowers lie there forlhou tin young
and delighlcsi ihvself in llicir. Iienuty. I
will meditate in ihe shade until the'heat
of the day be pns!. Thou wilt find me liy
the fountain in the forest, When thou arl
weary come nnd repose on my bosom.”
And she smiled and departed.
After a lime Hope sought her sister.——
The tear was in her eye, and her counte
nance was mournful.
Then Faith said :—-“My sister, wherefore
dost thou weep,nnd why istlty rouiilenatlcc

And the child answered:—"Bemuse n
cloud is in the sky, nnd tlie sunshine is
overcast—see, the rain begins to lull.”
“It is but a shower,” Faith replied, “and
when it is over, the fields will be greener
than before.”
Now the place where they sot was eliri-
tered front the rain, as it hml Iteen from the
noon-tide heal. And Faith comforted the
child, and showed her how I lie waters (low

AN “ELECTRICAL UliiL.”
Among the recent novelties, which have

eiethliie iliiugs arc related. Her mime is
Aitgcli pic Cullen, thirteen years ol age,
n name of the depart mean of Finislerr,
where site was employed in a thread glove
nun tltielory us u winder. The account
goes ott to say:
A few days ago, she was taken to the
Observatory where Messrs. Arnito, Malhicu,
bulgier, autl Goujon, wiltlesseii the follow
in'.: experiments:—A piece ol'pnpcr, placed
<i|ii>n the edge of a Itillie. unit immediately
attracted by the left hand of the girl. She
then holding Iter itpioit ill her hunt!, np-
pronrhed a gttcridon, which was pushed
hack, although the apron scarcely lolicjicd \ **" 1 a
it. Tbe next experiment was to"place her
and the woods resounded with song.
| Then, llii|te was glad, anil went forth to
! Iter S|torls once more.
! After a while the sky was ngnin darken'
ed, and the young spirit looked up, nnd
behold there was no cloud in Ihe whole cir
cle of the heavens.
Therefore Hope marvelled, for it was
not yet night.
A nd she fled to her sister, nnd east her
self down at her feet, nnd trembled exceed
ingly. • ’
Then Fnilli raised the child, and led her
forth from the simile of the trees, and poin
ted to the Sun and said—
“A shadow - is passing over the face
thereof,'hut no ntv of his glory is extin
guished. lie still w nil.nth in ’brightness,
and limn shall again delight thyself in his
brains’. See, even vet his (ace is'ttot whol
ly bidden from us.”
But the child dared not looked'tip, for
lie gloom strii'-l; upon her heart.
And when all was bright again, site f.anr-
d to wander front Iter sister, and her spoils
foi Ids illustrious services in (lie cause of
our Independence.
The fate of Paul Jones, living and dead,
1ms been a strange and a hard one, nnd
contains as many items of injustice as ever
fell to one man’s lot. Among the foremost
nnd most devoted, lie phitigcil into the
struggle of our Revolution, and. threw into
the common treasury n soul ns heroic, as
adventurous, ns exhaust less of resources as
ever lived—endless labor—nnd money to
the Inst dollar of his fortune. The only
nnvat officer in the service who showed the
intuitive genius of n great chief, lie not only
was not placed where he belonged, at the
head of the Navy, hut was postponed in
rank to a long string of men who Imd no
reputation nnd never acquired any. En
gaged in Ihe most arrive and successful
service, for seven years, he not only receiv
ed not a dollar of pay, and no rations, but
lie was almost the whole time in advance
to the Congress for money paid out in re
pairing his ships and feeding bis crew*.-—
From lime to unto ho occupied himself in
giving to the navy deunriment his views,
full of sound sense nfitl comprehensive sys
tem, of the organization of 'lie navy, lint
while time has confirmed his views and
led to their adoption, it was not till the
world Imd forgotten who Was their author.
Km the most heinous wrong done to Paul
Jones is found in the popular notion of his
character, which seems to have been bor
rowed from the coarse slanders of the Brit
ish press, at the time he frightened the Isles
from their propriety, and pm Mistress liiit-

COMING EVENTS.
The London T'intes, in an article ott the
recent revolution in’Mexico,- regards that
revolution ns the first step, and a long one,
towards the establishment of a monarchy
in that country. It goes so far ns nvinti-
titaie that such was the design of Paredes
in andertnking the revolution; and we
must confess that some recent events in
Mexico seem to countenance this suspicion.
The project seems to'flc. well understood in
England,-France and Spain, if not in Mex
ico.

SlAKE WAY FOR CANADA!
Tlie Liver|«Kil Siantlitrtl, of the 3d

da In the Conservative im'tr.bPrs of the
British Parliament, in which it is said:—
Whether, therefore, England wishes
it or not, Canada will certainly cut her

“Tire Canadians, by joining the Unit
ed States, will continue ail the privileges
wliicli Engfaml’s etdontes enjoy under a

In losing tlie British AmericnnrcofoA-
Euglamr will lose employment for
oO.COU sailors, nnd tire finest nttviil nur
sery in tlie world, the amount of tonnage'
in that trade being greater than that of
the trade to all India utnl China.
“ B l it is not a simplb loss Itr Eug-
land ; the command of the Si. Lawrence
will give a gain to America equal in ex
tent lo our loss, thereby trebling Iter nn'Vnt
power, while it leaves Iter with no rival
or enemy in the north ”
The Standard says:—■
“ We cannot |terceive upon .Vital plea
we can resist such a movement on the'
par( of Canada, il it lie resolved upnn; or
even defend much longer the granting of
supplies to meet the cost of our establish
ments in that country.”
Well, if Can.-idu trill come, and Eng
land consents, she is welcome. The gain
otronr side, however, is greatly overesti
mated. The River St. Lawrence would
