THE VALUEOF THE BIBLE.
BY MRS. HENRIETTA I.EGGETT.
| King Edward the Sixth, on the day of
! his coronation, had presented before him
j throe swords, signifying that he was
| Monarch of three Kingdoms. The King
said there was one sword wanting* being
asked what that was, he answered: “The
Holy .Bible, which is the sword of the
Spirit, and is to he preferred before all
these ensigns of royalty:”
And rtro thefce all: these glittering swords,
Emblems of onr royalty,
That on this day my noble Lords,
7 oil have to oil. V me?
! Surely the best ye have not given;
It pains my heart to see
j The one I love and juize, my Lord*,
i You have withheld from mo.
j What-is it? asked the knighted band,
.''peak! speak! onr Sovereign King,
; And ief thy Royal subjects show,
Their willingness to bring
| The richest diamond from Ihe mine,
The pearls beneath the sen,
| And all that wealth and skill combine,
! We'll gladly offer Ihee.
| Not ihose;no, not those glittering toys,
i '1 hat perish and decay;
But bring rne forth that* “Holy Book,”
That will not pass away.
The book Unit is the spirit’s svvrod,
To break tin* sinful heart,
And will that hallowed inlluenee give,
That brotherhood imparls.
That bids for others’ grid the tear
()f sympathy to flow,
And call on Heaven alike lo bless,
Our cherished friend or foe,
Tin* spirit’s purifying fire,
l.’nmixed wiih doubt or sear t
It calmed the slighted Esau’s ire,
When Jacob’s step drew near.
? Twns that that stayed the avenging hand,
Os Jesse’s injured son,
Though hunted like a beast of prey,
The victory still was won,
For Haul was humble in his power,
His wrath had passed away,
But David in that trying hour,
God’s chosen would not slay.
’ I was that when Bethlehelin’s beaming star,
Shone o’er Judea s plain.
And bade the enraptuied Shepherd nlng
In that exulting strain,
Peace, peace to man, forever more,
Peace and good will b<* given,
Be the sword that wo adore,
To guard our souls to Heaven.

Henri Hu JBarrc, a young French ar
tist, became enamored of the only daugh
k-r of a well-to-do auhergiste in the town
of Circossono, in the South of France.
Lneile Montaigne had beauty and mon
ey, and Henri Du Barre had wit and tal
ent; but these latter wore no fair coni va
lent for the former in the eyes of the
purse-proud father, who declared that
no daughter of;lns should marry a poor
man, though he were blessed with the
wisdom of a Solomon.
Now, Lucille loved Henri—at least,
she told him so hut slie was too pru
dent to elope with him and risk disinher
itage; for after all, what was love without
money ? Poverty coming in at the door
would send it flying through the win
dow.
Poor Henri was in dispair. He real
ly did love. Lucille, whether she did him
or not loved her madly, and lie was one
of those dark, fiery natures which make
love a wild, terrible passion.
How much money was necessary to
make him her equal in the eyes of her
worldly father? The aiiliergis£e named
the sum. It was large, and Henri sigh
ed, and felt more despair at his heart
than ever. .Suddenly ho Isrightoned ;ij>
with the recollection that he had youth
and genius, and that in some large city,
Paris, perhaps, where the latter would
he appreciated, he might acquire both
fame and fortune.
But would Lucille wait?- Well, Ln-
LuciJle was willing to wait awhil for
just then, as she admitted to herself, she
could think of no one she liked better
than the poor artist; hut everything
earthly must have a limit and the fair
coquette thought her patience ought riot
to extend beyond a year.
A year is a very short lime to acquire
fame and fortune, with the latter depen
dent upon the former, but Henri was
young, and youth is sanguine, and at all
events he would make a trial, hoping for [
great t.lrings, knowing he could do no
worse than fail.
So he finished his engagements, hur
riedly declined any new ones, sold a few
pictures on hand for a moderate sum,
gathered logether his scanty effects, bade
his friends and Lucille adieu, and with a
hopeful and heavy heart, w t off for the
great metropolis of France.
Tt was a long, long journey from Cir
cassone to Paris, in the slow conveyances
of the period when Henri Du Barre made
it; and it was nearly two weeks before he
reached the gay capitol. And then he
began his struggle with poverty, which
clung to him in spite of his hopes, his
exertions and his prayers, for six weary
months, when he gave up in dispair, and
secretly 1- ft. the city, to beg his way back
to CircHssone, to see his Lucille once
more, hid her an eternal adieu, and end
a life no longer of any value to its pos- j
sessor.
Henri Du Barre, set out from Paris i
afoot and alone, depending solely upon j
the charity of French peasants for food j
and lodging. He had six sous in his j
i- kit when he started, and thesf he in-
I vested in a deadly poison, which ho car
ried as a dernier resort, determined not
to suffer beyond what nature might, rea
sonably hear, but which it was his hope
to retain till he had again seen Lucille.
In this manner lie reached and passed
through Lyons’, foot-sore, ragged and
disheartened—an object indeed for com
miseration. Twenty leagues beyond
Lyons, in passing through a long, dark,
lonely wood, ho met a Jew, carrying-a
heavy pack upon his back. The poor
arti* asked the Israelite foe charity; his
appeal was answered with a few coins,
for which he thanked the giver and then
Offered to carry his pack.
“O, no - it is nothing -it is nothing—
a few old clothes only I” returned the
Jew hurriedly—so hurriedly, and with
such evident uneasiness, in fact, as to
awaken suspicion in the mind of the
young artist: that it, contained something
of great value.
Then it was that a wild, vague, unde
fined desire t o possess it first took pos
session of the man who was now going
home to die wretchedly, but whom two
thousand francs might bless with life and
happiness. When the mind of man takes
highly criminal bent it seems as if some
evil demon whispers in his ear the most
plausible reason for a wicked course to
happiness.
Henri Du Barre, Who had never before
thought of harming a human being, now
glanced furtively, and almost sliudder
ingly around him, with the dark and
wicked thought in his brain, that if this
old man were dead, and he the possessor
of his pack, he might yet'have a bright
and happy future. It was a dreary, dis
mal spot in the thick Woods where they
both stood and no human eye save theirs
was looking upon this scene. Why
should this old matt bo cumbered with
wealth, which could not. bring him one
tithe of the joy that it might him who
coveted its possession ? He* could not
live many years, that old men, at the
most, arill he might die any minffte, and
his valuable effects become the inherit
ance of strangers! What matter’ll a
few-years, more or less, to him a wander
ing and despised Jew- 1 And why should
he, the poor miserable artist, hesitat e be
tween the Jew’s life and his own ? Were
not all living creatures bound by the in
ner law of their being to act in self
defence, even to the taking of life when
necessary to sustain their own ? and
would ho not die should the Jew live?
and would he not live should the Jew
then die ? And even should the secret
he discovered, would it ho any worse
than death at last ? He had bought
poison for himself, and why should not
another take it for his salvation? —in
which event he would have the means to
procure more, and could always as now
carry his life in his hands.
The Jew had hidden him good day,
and was trudging onward at a slow,
steady pace, while these wild, wicked
thoughts were coursing through the
brain of the latter, with all the plausi
bility of truth.
Suddenly the Jew stopped, produced
a little flask, and raised it- to his lips.
The devil was tempting young' Du Barre
•to crime, and here was the opportunity.
“My good friend,” called the artist, to
the Jew, “J am very faint; will you give
me a few drops of that wine?”
“I will give you half,” said the Israel
ite, halting.
The artist advanced tremulously-, pro
duced, the poison, and concealed it in his
hand as he approached Ids victim, and,
under pretence of wiping the mouth of
the flask, dropped it in. Then he pre
tended to drink and handed it hack with
thanks, bogged the Jew to drink bis
health at their final parting. Isaac com
plied, and tls-y separated, each going
different ways.
As soon as Henri was out of sight of
the Israelite, he entered the wood, and
returned in an oblique direction, until he
came in sight of his Victim, who was now
writhing in the agonies of death, and
groaning for mercy. A few minutes
more and he was still the dread work
was done.
Dragging the body from the road, and
concealing it, the murderer next carried
the pack far hack into the forest , tore it
open, and found it did indeed contain old
clothes. He was nearly frantic. He
had murdered a harmless old man, and
got nothing for it. He threw the gar
ments from him with the" wild action of
remorse and despair.
Suddenly ho heard a clink as if of
money. Then he began to examine the
bid garments, and found, to his almost
mad joy, that they contained immense
treasure in jewels- diamonds, sapphires,
pearls and rubies, to the value, as he .
thought, of ten thousand francs, hut in
reality, more than a hundred thousand.
Far in the depth of that dark wood
the, murderer bid the most precious
stones, to be brought forth in and after
time. There were two thousand five
hundred francs in money; and with this
amount he started for home, no longer a
-man, but alas ! even further than ,
ever from being a happy one.
He traveled in his nigged clothes as
far as Nismes, fearful of spending his j
ill-acquired coins sooner; hut at Nismes i
ventured to purchase anew and genteel 1
suit, and in this shortly after appeared .
before Lucille, showed her father the i <
sum required, which be represented as :
having been honestly obtained in his ;;
profession, and claimed her hand. 1 1
In due time ILcnri Utf Barre married i
Lucille Montaigne, and happy were all
at the wedding but the guilty groom,
who was never to know happiness again.
He kept his awful secret, however, and
profited by it, making an occasional visit
to the spot of his crime, under pretence
of traveling on bu.-.iacts. He took away
and disposed of the jewels one by one,
and gradually grow opulent, and was re
garded by all who knew him as an hon
est man of mark. •
But the remembrance of his great
crime had a strange fascination for him,
and much of his time was spent in brood
ing over it in secret.
Being an artist, lie at length naturally
conceived the idea of painting the scene
of the mitrder; and he finally drew it in
miniaturu oil ivory, picturing himself in
act, of dragging the dead body Os the
Jew into the forest, whose features, from
memory only, he delineated with woh
derftil fidelity, and as if this were not
enough to satisfy his morbid infatuation,
he wrote underneath :
“Isaac, a Jew, murdered by Henri Dll
Barre, Artist, September the 10th, in a
dark wood, about twenty leagues south
from Lyons.”
11 was a strange, insarte idea, that of
jjyeseiving a memory of the horrible deed
in this manner; hut this miniature of the
Scene he.had set in a neat little frame,
and carried in a belt around his waist.
But the strangest part of the horrible
affair is yet to bo told. On bis last vis
it to the forest, for the last jewel 'hat
vet remained of the proceeds of his aw
ful crime, he was shot dead by a high
wayman, who, on searching his person
found the miniature, and recognized in
the features of the murdered Jew—his
own father !
This produced so strange an imjife*.
sion on Ihe second murderer, that, hi'
carried it. to the authorities and made a.
full confession of his own crime. A full
and thorough investigation took place;
and among the papers of Du Barre Was
found one containing a statement of the
wholi* transaction, as we have here, re
corded it.
The second piurderer, tho son of the
Jew, was subsequently executed, and so
ended the chain of dark and bloody
events.
Truly, the ways of Provideitce are
wonderful and mysterious.
SICVEIt a IVETA IN.
BY ISIDORE.
“Large bounties to restore we wish in
vain, but all may shun the guilt of giv
ing pain.”
When Pericles, one of the most illus
trious of the lawgivers of Athens, lay at
the point of death, while his friends were
praising him for the glorious deeds du
ring bis life, he replied: “It. is my great
est glory that none of my acts have caus
ed a citizen of Athens to put on mourn
ing.” There is a deep meaning ill this
remark. There is a wise, moral lesson
conveyed in these words. In the last
moment’s.of a good and great, man’s ex*
ist< nee, with conscious pride he could a
vow to his countrymen to those who
had slighted and neglected him that, he
had never done turgid, to cause one of them
pain. I [is hold and brave achievement*
in battle, the wisdom that ruled his coun
cils, all ranked into insignificance; but
the sweet thought that, he had never
wronged any one was his support and
his only boast; a thought, that was to
comfort, him In the last hour of his life.
In the hour of our need, or trouble, in
the lightsome moment of our existence,
can we, like Pereieles, comfort ourselves
with the like thought; that no careless
remark of ours has ever raised a blush of
shame? Not always. In our gay mo
ments we are not thoughtful. There is
often a little demon within ourselves, |
who is a very merciless little demon. He
gives our thoughts an acrid tinge. He
makes us of lea say cruel ami bitter things,
lie urges us to laugh at the fallen, and to
make mimicry over the unfortunate, old,
or decrepid. He is often very sarcastic,
his sallies seem like wit, and his smiles
like merriment. The unl inking multi
tude, who hear his words, laugh; but;
there is one also a listener, who has felt
the keeu thrust, and Whose sprit, brUiscd
and lacerated is writhing under the tor
ture. Thus there are thousands who
tread t he public way ; with sad faces, and j
a fellow creature,has made, them sad. j
These people are easily recognized. You
know them by their walk, by their steps, j
by their speech; and there is, so to speak, j
an air of mourning about, them. They j
have not. the moral strength nor the bra- j
zcn.courage to laugh in return at the
world’:', sneers and gibes, and so they ]
can only feel them keenly and bitterly.
1 11 the silence of their chambers these I
bruised, crushed spirits of humanity, I
whom the merciless and unthinking have j
trampled on, ran only weep silently the
hitter tears of anguish. The thousands of
“diti'e luuaunbemi men,”
bearing their burden of cares and trou
bles; troubles which almost press them
down-, fall gasping to the earth by the act j
of a follow creature; rind those, who should j
raise them from tho dust, cast them yet j
deeper in the mire, and so
“Man’s inhumanity to man,
Makes countless l.ltousanils mourn.”
Thrice happy are those, who, like Peri
cles, can console themselves with |
thought* of never having caused a fellow '
being to put on his disconsolate garb of I
mourning. Sweet, sweet to think that
in spite of the ills and miseries of our
life - that in spite of our cares, we may
yet lighten those of others; cheer the
down-hearted, encourage the desponding, j
and porfr words of healing balm ift the |
already crushed spirit; words that will j
vet cause the soul, "with renewed hopes j
to gaze heavenward in search of its God.!
Let us think,
‘‘That Heaven decrees
T«> all, the gift of minustering to e.ise
The gentle offieefiof patient love;
The mild forbearance of anofliev’s fault. I
The taunting word suppressed Boon as thought, j
On ibeee, Heaven bade the bliss of life depend, j
And t nibhedill fortune when i t made a friend.”

more than three feet apart; and then the
game! such vast numbers of buffaloed
and bears and wild eats, but in all the

so he. had.
“O, the biggest bouncing btieks yod

are pcsh-elly alive with theiri; charging
about with horns full four feet apart.”
“Well, led, Governor D . if the
