I hnvo wandorod far over mountains and plains, And I've walked through tho aisles of tho proud est of fane? : T?nt tho old church at homo I have never forgot, And tho place W li ero it stands is a hallowed spot, No towers, nor columns, nor sculptures adorn This solemn old temple, time honored and worn, But plain as its service and simple as they Who meet there of yore and who meet thorc to day. Ah ! well I remember when life w.ts so new ! And opened bright visions of homo to my view Whoo Sabbath day sunlight, liku angelic smiles. Illumined with the glory of heaven its aisle* ; And over its altar a halo was shed, That gleamed liko a crown on tho minister's head. Thc old songs of Zion had melody then, And I hear their sweet echos again and again : And I often live over the bl?fs of those years, liro sorrow had opened its chalice ol tears. Old church of my fathers ! thar altar of thine The pleasures ol'faith and of memory enshrine; There cvonaiit water on children was shed ; Thorc penitents knelt, und there lovers were wed-? And there where thc parents for children have praye I, Thc cold forms of parents and children were laid* There innocent chilhood lust slopped on thc scene. But now full of years on its Staff it must lean. My cherished companions of childhood's glad day Hear traces of winter in sprinkles of grey. Thc once merry faces ot* girlhood 1 'race lu plain, modest women of mair inly grace. Thc lathers and mothers \ loved, oh ! so well, Have dropped from their posts, but in armor they fell. The minister's ready for heaven, and now A halo ol' glory encircles his brow. When thu old church is crumbled to dust of Die plain, And not e'er, a trace of ita walls shall remain And when its last worshipper's long since forgot. The footprints ol'angels will hallow thc spot. Seleotod Story. A S A F ? IN VES T M E N T. In the second your of thc lato civil war, I was marrricd, and wont to ive with my bus batid in a sundi village on the Hudson, some tiffy or sixty miles from New York. The house wc occupied was a largo, rambling mansion, of considerable antiquity for this country, and stood a little apart fruin thc rest of the village, sum unded by broad fields, and nominanding ? glorious view of tho rivoi and thu hills of tho Highlands. lt bad been built, before tue Revolution, by mj husband'? greatgrandfather, and, though destitute ol many "modern improvements," was still i comfortable and pleasant residence. My husband was a lawyer ?md a large re i estate owner in tho neighborhood, and, at th? period of which I write, was greatly perplexed like many other persons in thc North, by th perilous state, nf the times, ?ind cspeciall; about the safe investment of his funds, as tie suspension of specie payments, the great tis in gold, and tho military disasters in Virgin la, made it almost impossible io tell where i would be safe to deposit or to use one's tnonc; in any large amount. In tho course of his transactions in real ea tate, it happened, one day, that Ito receive what was for us then a large sum, about te thousand dollars, which be brought home an placed in my charge, telling me at the sam time that bc would have to he absent durin tho evening, attending to some business 0 tho other side of the river, and should not b at home until about midnight. .'You can placo tho money in the safo, dear, ho said, as bo gave it to me, "and to-morrow will try and find some way to invest it si curcly." So saying, he stopped into the buggy, wliic was standing at tho door, and drove nwa; taking with him our hired men Silas, an leaving me with no ono in tho house hut 1) nab, ntl old colored woman, who fulfilled in ot modest household thc functions of cook ar maid ofall-work, as she bad long dono in tl family of my own parents, who, on my mart ugo, hud yielded lier to mc ?8 a valuable pa of my dower. Dinah was indeed a character. Sho wi tall and very stout, weighing, she never wou tell how muon, more than two hundred poutul L Sho was vory black, and oe lazy os shu w blaok. 1 do not think uny ono could mo' moro dcliborately than Dinah did, that is, movo at all. And by a wonderful disrons tion, she scorned to fool that whatever h other faults might bo, sho was strong on tl point of locomotion, b'or wheu sho had bei moving with a ponderous slowness, ulm maddening to persona of ordinary quicknot } ono of her favorito expressions wos. ??Wo , Miss Lillio, what shall I fly onto next?" Hi ; she accomplished all bho did, tho browni r only know. Wo used somotitnea to tramt ' when there was any spooial hurry about o domcstio arrangements, and yet Dinah ways managed tu bring affairs to ?i eonsumma tion just whoh a minuto moro would luivo ruined everything; and, with undisturbed front, would ?lowly enunciate. "Well, miss, what shall I fly onto next ?" It was nearly dark when my husband do parted, and, after giving my orders to Dinah, or rather my suggestions, I loft hor, and made thc tour of thc house, to soo that all was safe and properly locked up. This duty attended to, I went to my bedroom, inton li tg to pits* tho timo iu reading until my husband should ret urti. It was a largo ronni, on tho ground floor, with two Kreuch Windows opening on a broad veranda. Tho windows wero draped with long yellow silk curtains, between which the moonlight faintly entered, dimmed by the shadow of tho roof of the piazzi. and partly intercepted by thc fringe of woodbine which hung from it. My bcd stood with its foot toward thc windows, and with its bead about half a yard fruin the wall, lt was an old fashioned structure, hung with yellow silk like thc windows, but I slept with the hang ings drawn back and fastened to the bead board. The bed was so largo ?hat no one. ever thought of moving it, except in those seasons of household p.ni-called houseclean ings, when the combined strength of three or four men w is called into requisition to draw il into thc middle of the room. So elaborately carved Wits it ttlitt it went by (bc name of West minster Abbey in the family. At one end of thc room, at no great distance fro:u thc bcd, was a large safe, built into the huge chimney of thc mansion, with a dom high enough for a person to enter standing upright. Herc 1 was accustomed to place, every evening, our silver plate on shelves which extended around tho sides, on which were also placed boxes containing papers mid other valuables. Op posite thc foot of the boadstead, between thc windows, was a mirror, running from (bc {lout almost to thc ceiling. Like all other furtli turo in tho room, it wits old .md handsome How many happy scenes it bad reflected ii the hundred years it bad stood there! Thc night was exceedingly hot. and ? there tore left the windows open, thou.di I drev thc curt dus before I so iled myself at the ta hie in the centre of the room, lighted tim can dies, ami begin to read, in order to pass tin heavy time before thc return of my husband After a while. I heard tim clock strike niue at which hour Dinah always went lo bod - HIT chan ber was in t' o attic, the third still*' ol thc house. . llomonibcring Sonic Itnusohob milter about which I wished to speak to hm I started hurriedly up, nod went into the en try lo intercept ber before she got np st di 1 bad to wait about a minuto bc I ore she c uni and our colloquy continued three or four toil utes mme. When I returned to my bedroom, feel in SOIIICWhat tired, 1 resolved togo lobed, as,; that lato hour in' tho country, it was quit certain that no visitors would call, and ni husband could let himself in with tuc lat?.-! key, which bc always carried. I though however, that 1 would try to keep awake I reading, and necordiogly j laced a light star and 'be candle at the head of my bed. I tin closed and fastened tho windows, undress? and got into bed. Thc key of the ?alb placed, as Usual, under my pillow. After reading perhaps half un hour, f ?rc weary of tho book, and, quietly laying it dow remained for some minutes meditating wi my eyes fixed on the mirror opposite tho fe of thc bcd, in which I could see myself i fleeted, together with tho yellow silk OUl'tni behind my head. I was thinking, not unit: Utully, how pretty 1 looked, and bow happy was with such a loving husband and suet largo sum of money secure in our safe, wh suddenly I saw in the mirror a sight that ma my heart stand still. A hand appeared I tween tho curtains, drawing them slow apart, and grasping cautiously thu head bon It was a man's hand, large and coarto a dark, as if belonging to ti mulatto, or to o greatly tanned by exposure to thc weather, i My first impulse was to start from the bi and scream for help. I repressed it b; - strong effort of will, and lay perfectly moth less, except that I partially closed my ey i keeping thom only sullicienlly open to wal I tho mirror. As quick as lightning my mi i took in tho situation. In tho few minutes i my absenco front tho room, whilo talking . Dinah in the entry, a thief, a robber, a po: bte murder, had stolen in by thc piazza-w dows, and had bidden himself cither un thc hod or behind its draped hoad. Ho i ' doubtless armed ; and if I oricd out and 1 tempted to escapo from tho room, ho co ' oasily reach tho door beforo I could, und i his own scourity would probably put mo ' deatii. Dinah was too distant and too foi ' and clumsy, to afford mo any assistanco, i * besides by this tinto was fast aslocp in ' third story. Tho man doubtless know that r husband had that day reooived a largo sun ' money, and had gone off ncr?ss tho rivor, lt ing rn? ajonc, or nearly alone, in tho house. I Ho hue! entered, earing only for tho money, ' and anxious above all things to escape undo- ; tooted and unrecognised. If I let bim know that I was aware of his presence, I should ex- j poso my.H. lf to mulder, und perhaps to out- j rage w.ors* fjnip iniird?r. My obvious pnlicyJ was to koopPpiiet and feign sleep. ? thought also of tbr money, and was not altogether wil ling to resign that without an effort to save it, and to have at least some clue to tho identity of tho thief. I confesa, however, that this last consideration wa? not n very strong one, and nm afraid that if T could have seen my way elcar to an escape from t io room and ibo house, I should have fled incontinently, with out stopping to see more than that terrible hand. A moment which seemed an hour passed while, these thoughts rushed through my mind. I lay perfectly still, with my half closed eyes watching tim mirror. Slowly and noiselessly the frightful band pulled up it owner, until I could see the bead and face revealed in the glass, mid glaring nt mc with lie rc 0 yet wary eyes. Tho niau was a mulatto, very dark, with evil passions written in every lineament. I could scarcely refrain from shuddering nt the sight of his baleful visage, and speedily closed my eyes to shut it out. I was not yet quito nady for the ordeal through which I knew I must soon pass. 1 wanted to move my light stand :i little out of the way, ami tuso arrangetlic bedclothes that I could spring from tim bid without imped? ment, i therefore gave n little st uh, ?nd moved, us-if about to awake, slightly opening my eyes nt the Kimi! tinte.

Several limes fancied I hoard n ?oft step approach from th place of concealment As often I was dcooi\ ed. Then again that dreadful stillness, i which 1 counted thc ticking of tho wale tbr ?ugh the. pillow. lt was a positive relit I when be came out from behind the curtail stopped at the table, and stood looking at tin as I was well aware, though my eyes wei closed. I foi oed myself to breathe regular! ami audibly. He came closer; bo Inuit 0V< : me. He p issed the lighted candle slowly b ' fore rn?, taco two or three times. 1 felt tl hc.it, and saw thc light through my dost lids, which must have quivered, though I did mit seem to observe their motion. ITeav? gave mc strength not to move not or to e '. ont. Satisfied, apparently, bc put back tl candlestick on the stand, and bis hand ere j softly and slowly under the pillow, nod, Ol j hy one, he removed my watch and tho key j thc safe. He stood so long looking at i j that I felt impelled to open my eyes sudde j ly upon him. j As he walked softly toward tho safe, I d j partly open them, and cautiously watched b i through my eyelashes. 1 heard bim fun j ling with the lock, and once he looked o\ toward thc bed. My eyes were wide rpi but* I closed them in time not to bo detect? Wot oh i hg bim stealthily, I saw bim open t door of tho safe, go back to the stand for t candle, and return to tho safe, which bc < torcd without withdrawing the koy from t j lock. Here was the opportunity for which I li waited and watched. 1 sprang lightly fr thc bed, with ono bound reached tho Sn I dashed thc door to, turned thc key, and w ono loud shriek fell prostrate and senseless tho floor of tho dark mom. How long [ lay upon tho floor I don't kn - probably for ll few minutes only-but n was uiieonsotous, il seemed, when I came myself, .as if the interval bad been a long o I wasaroused by his blows upon the iron dc j und fourni myself weak after the long nervi tension, but still calm.

What time is it ?" and looking ot tho clock, that ticked slowly and deliberate ly-BB how cogld could Dinah's clock help doing ?-1 saw to my great relief that it was nearly midnight. We had scarcely got down stairs when I heard the sound of wheels. A moment more and my husband was in my arms, listening with amazement to a rapid narrative of my singular adventure. I would not suffer him to open the safe until Silas bad summoned assistance from the neighboring houses. I feared that my desperate prisoner would still escape. When the safe was opened, there snt my burglar on the trunk, half stupefied for want of air, a knife in ono hand, the package of money in thc other, and the burned out candle ?it Ids feet. He was recognized ns au old offender, who had not been long out of State prison ; to willoh, in due course of law, he was soon sent back for a term of yearn, which I devoutly hope may last as long as lie lives ; for I confess I should not feel easy to hear that ho was again at large. Tho leok of rage be gave me on coming out of the safe will not soon be obliterated from my memory. My husband, I need hardly say, was greatly pleased with my safe, investment, und compli mented mc highly oil tho courage and coolness which bad doubtless saved my life as well as our money. Thc love and pride with which he regarded me, and wu h which be always, to this day, rehearses my exploit, were of thcuiM'ive.s ?'suUioi?iit comp. lUUitlou tor tho horror und thc agony of that long suininor hight.

Can Ft unmans Wit lp H i cm hi?o, t Referring to tho battles of 1812,1814 and 1810, in which the Prassians were often ex clusively pitted against thc French alone, so as to find test trials of tho rolutivo fighting powers of thoso two peoples, a well informed European writer in the Cincinnati Commey ciaf, Mr. Daniel Roomer, says : There wcro ten great battles in 1812, namely: Lutzcu, May 2 ; Bautzen, May 20 and 21 ; Luok mau, Juno 8; Gross-Boron, August 23; Katzbach, August 20 ; Dresden, August 20 and 27; Kulin, August 30 ; Donncwitz, Sep tember 0; Leipzig, Ootobcr 16, 18 and 19; Hanau, 29 and 80, besides tho engagement of Wurtcnburg, October 3, tho combat of Mocokcrn near Madgeburg, April o, not to be confounded with tho battle of Mocokern, October 1G, which formed an episode in tho battle of Leipzig. The combats of Konigs warths und Wossig, May 18 ; the combut Am tioerdor Wald, September 10 ; the combat near Weimer between Tettenborn and Lo Fevre Docrouctts, whoso dato I liavo forgot ten, and innumerable smaller fights, impossi ble to remember. Thc only battles iu which Prussians alone, without being encumbered by Russiuas or Austrians, fought the Frcnoh, wcro Luckmau, Gross-Boron, Katzbach and Dcnnewitz, and the engagement of Wavtenbcrg, in all five of which tho Prussians wore viotorous. Tho buttle of Dcnnewitz is moreover thc most glo rious victory of this century. Forty thousand Prussians under Bulow utterly routed seventy thousand Frenohmen under Ney. No nation can show such a glorious viotory in tho pres ent century. In the year 181-1 there wero six important battles : La Rotbior (Febru ary 1,) Bar sur Aube (february 27,) Laou (March 9. 10,) Montcrcuu (March 15, I bc Hove/) Arcis sur Aube (March 20) and Paris (March 30), thou the engagement of Craonno (Moron 8, if I retnoiubcr right,) tho combats of Cha npaubert, Vuueharaps, Etoges, Mout mirail, besides minor fights, as for instance La Foro Chumponoisc. Of these tho Prus sians alone ougaged tho Frcnoh at Laon, Eto ges and Mouttnirail, in the first victoriously, iu tho two latter they were beaten. In 181L there wero two battles, Ligncy and Waterloo, and two engagements, at Quatrcbras and Wayrc, besides the smaller fights. Of theso the Prussians fought ?lone at Ligney and Wayrc, in tho former they were bcateu, tho latter was undecided. "TnERK ls NO WAU AFTER DEATH." Such was thc maguauimous reply of tho t Prussian Ambassador to an invitation to at tend tho funeral of tho Frcnoh diplomatio representative in Washington. Tho''Senti ment was worthy of a great soul, and we hon or the man that uttered it.
