EY CAKE IE BELLE SINCLAIR.
Give a kind word to the erring—
It may raise a fallen brother ;
And the law of heaven caches
We should kindly treat each other.
Ah ! Hie paths of vice are many ;
And when tempted and when tried,
Remember thou art mortal.
And thy feet may turn aside.
Give a kind word to the erring
Who h tve trod the paths of sin,
For the tempter too may woo thee,
And thy feet may turn therein.
All along life's rugged pathway
Stones are bruising weary feet ;
Thistles springing ’mong the flowers—
■ Tares are glowing with the wheat.
And the master in Ilis vineyard
Hath a work for you to do,
For the harvest there is plenteous,
Rut the lab revs are few.
Tarty not—the day is waning,
And Hie night is coming on.
And Ihv master will reward yon
For the word thy hands hath done.
If from out one bleeding bosom
You have plucked the bitter thorn
If you’ve cheered the drooping spirit
When its every h pe was gone ;
If you've stretched the hand of kindness.
To lead erring, staying feC't,
There’s a rich toward awaits you—
And love's labor, too, sweet.
If along life’s rugged highway
You have raised a drooping flower;
Ii thy smiles hath ever gladdened
For one heart a gloomy hour—
It hath placed a star to glitter
In the angel crown above !
Ah ! lire’s mission lieie is holy !
When we make it one of love !
Oh ! remember, then, the erring !
Thou mayst lift tire soul again
Ami from some poor bleeding boosonv,
Wipe away the guilty stain.
All the world is one broad vineyard,
Where there’s work for each to do ;
For the harvest there Is plenteous,
Lsul the laboreis are few !
Work then -life’s sun is setting,
And tile night of Death comes on,
And the 51 aster at his coining
Will expect thy work well done 1

against the pieseut Congress that it coti'
tains too many lawyers for the best inter

said that more prominent men in both

other been editors or pi inters, than mem-’

THRILLING REVOLUTIONARY STORY-
Got! is 'every where. His words are in
the heart. lie is on the battle-field or in
oii i peaceful hotfte. Praise His holy ttarne.
It uas in lhe wilds of \\ issahicon oil
the terrible day of battle, as tin* uooudav
sun came through ihe thick clustered leaves
that two men met in a deadly conflict near
the reef of that rose, like some primeval
world, at least a thousand feet above the
daik waters of the Wiss diicon .
The man with the dark btowii face and
dark grey eyes, flashing with deadly light,
whose muscular form is clad in a blue
frock of Revolution, is a continental named
Win Teti
The other man, with the long black
hair, droopimg along his cadav* rolls face,
clad in half military costume of a tory re
fugee, is a murderer of Pao!i t and is named
I)eh;t ncy.
They met by accident, and now they
fought not swords and rifles, but wltii long
and deadly hunting kuives they struggled,
and twisting on the green sward.
At last the to o' is down —down on the
turf, with the knee of the continental on
his bteasi the upraised knife flashed death
in his face.
“Quarter ! I yield !” gasped the tory, as
the knee was pressed on bis breast ; ‘spare
me, I yield !”
‘My brother,’ said the patriot, in tones
of deadly hate, 4 my brother cried for quar
ter on the fie and of Paoli, and eyen as he
citing to your knees you stuck your knife
into his heart- On. I will give you the
quarter yon gave at Paoli.’
His h ind was raised for the blow, and
his teeth clenched with deadly hate. He
paused fora moment, and then pinioned
the torv’s arms, and with a rapid stride
dragged him to the verge of the rock, and
held him quivering over the abyss.
‘Mercy !’ grasped the tory, turning ashy
pale, as that awful yawned far, far below.
‘I have a wife and child at home—spare me!’
The continental with great muscular
strength, gathered for the effort, shook the
murderer once more over the abyss, and
ihon hissed his bitter sneer in his face.
‘My brother had a wife and two children!
Tte morning after the night of Pauli, that
wife was a widow, those children orphans!
Ask mercy from them!*
1 In* proposal made by the continental in
mockery and hale, was taken in serious
earnest by the terror-stricken tory. He
tu gjjed io be taken to the widow and he
cuiiUtefb and to have the privilege Os beg
ging lor his life. After a moment of serious
thought the patriot consented. He bound
the t».ry s arms still tighter, placed Win on
ins feel, and ied hun thro’ the woods. A
quiet cottage embossorned among the trCWb,
broke on then* eyes. They entered the cot
tage, and beheld the desolate widow and
her children.
She sat there, a matronly woman of about
tweutv-eight years, with a taco laded by
cures, deep dark eyei, and long black hair.
Nearly in front of her was a dark-hatred bo}
ut sortie six years. By her side was a little
gitl one year younger, wiih light blue eyes-
The Bible and hymn book lay on a table
near where she sat.
The pale-faced lory thiew himself uti his
knees, au-J confessed that he had butchered
her husband on ihe night of Paoli; but lie
now begged her to spare his life,
‘►spare me for the sake of my wffe aud
cm id!’
He expected that his pitiful moan would
touen the widow’s heart, but not' one re
lenting gleam softened her face.
‘YLie Lord shall judge between us,* she
said in a cold, icy toue, that froze the mur
derer’s heart. Taking the Bible, she
‘Look; the Jtbbte is in my tap; I will close
llio volume, ana let iny liii.le sou open it,
and place uis finger at random upon aline,
aud by ifiai you snail or die.’
Inis was a strange proposal, made m
good tailu, ut a mud aud dark superstition
ut olden lime. For u moment, Hie lory, pule
as ashes, was wrapped in deep thought,,
then lti a laiul voice signified his Consent.
KaiSitig her dark eyes to heaveu, the
mother prayed to direct the finger of her
son. she closed the book and handed it to
lhe boy, whose cheek reddened with loath
ing as ne gazed upon his taUier’s murderer,
tie touk the Bible aud opeued Us holy
pages, at random, and placed his singe:
upon a versev Tltere was a ‘Silence. The
continental soldier who had sworn to
avelige fits brother’s death, stood with dila
ted 'eyCst and parted ftps. The culprit
kneeling h pon Ltie floor, with his lace dis
colored ciaV. left his heart leap to his throat.
Then, in a clear, bold Voice, the widow
lead this line from the Old Testament. Ii
was short but. terrible:
‘That man shall surely die!’
Look! the brother spring* forward to
plunge ihe knife into the murderer’s heart,
but the lory pinioned us he is, cdugs to the
widow’s knees. He hL-gs that one more
trial may Lie made by the little girl.
The widow consents There is an awful
pause. With a smile in her eye, and with
out knowing what she is doing, the little
girl opened the Bible as it lay oft hes
mother’s knee; sue turned her face away
and placed her finger upon a liua.
The awful silence grows deeper. The
deep drawn breath of tlie brother aud bro
ken gasp of the murderer alone disturbed
the SiillnCss. The widow autl dark-haired
boy are breathless.
The little girl as she Caught ti e feeling
of awe from iht.se around hei, stood breath
less also, her turned aside andjhei tiny fin
:>x*rs resting on life or death.
At length gathering courage, the widow
bent her ey6s upon the page and read tin
line. It was trom the New Testament:
‘Love your enemies!’
0, Book of terrible majesty aud child
like love, of simplicity, that crushes the
heart with rapture, it never shone more
strongly than there in that lone hut of
YVissahicon, when it saved the murderer’s
heart.
A Naval Fight off Our Coast Probable, —
During our late uupieasautness the citizens
ot Cherbourg had a holiday sight in wit
nessing the ocean duel between the Kears
sage and Alabama. New York, says the
World, may probably have an opportunity
oi enjoying a similar sensation now, for
there are in our waiers the North German
L igate Ancona, of 400 horse-power and 28
guns, and the French frigate Semiraoiis
and the school-ship Jean Bart. Half adogen

THE AMAZON.
The Amazon, the largest river in the
world, has an area of drainage nearly three
times as large as that of all the rivers of
Europe tliat empty themselves into the At
lantic. This plain is entirely covered with
dense primeval forest, through which the
only paths are those made by Hie river and
its innumerable ty/biitnries. This forest is
literally impemdvable. Humboldt remarks
that two mission stations might be only a
few miles apart, and yet Ihe residents would
require a day and a- half to visit each other,
along the windings of small streams. Even
the wild animals get involved in such ffn
penetrable masses of wood, that they (even
the jaguar;) live a long time iti the trees, a
terror to the fnoukWs whose domain they
have invaded. Tlie trees often measu>e
from eight to twelve feet in diameter; and
the intervals are occupied hv shrub-like
plants, whichjiere in these tropical regions,
become nboresceut. The origin of the
Amazon is unknown; it is navigable for two
thousand miles from the ocean; it is nearly
one hundred miles wide at the mouth, and
in some places six hundred feet deep; and
its turret.t projects, as it were into the
ceun, more than three hundred miles, per
ceptibly altering its waters at ibis distance
from the American shores.

wrong that American consumers are com

of all political bias, and allowed it to rest
upon business treaties alone, and still a
Radical Congress and a Radical President
turned a deaf ear to their ferdreatieft, and
re-imposed the tax. This was done to
