A VICTORY. nv the he v. it. e. n. maci.ellan. The joy.bells peal a merry tune Along the evening air ; The crackling bonfires turn the sky All crimson with their glare; 1 > ,1 l ? - ? .1*1 - - xjuiu music mis tno sumieu sircuis With mirth-inspiring sound; The gaping cannon's reddening breath W akes thunder-shouts around ; And thousand joyful voices cry. "Huzza! huzza! a victory!" A little girl stood at the door. And with her kitten play'd ; I ,c?s wild and frolicsome than she, That rosy prattling maid. Sudden her cheek turns ghostly white ; 11 or eye with fear is fill'd, And, rushing in-of-doors, she screams? " My brother Willie's kill'd !"' And thousand joyful voices cry, "Huzza! huzza! a victory!" A mother sat in thoughtful easr. Aknitting by the fir? , Plying the needle's thrifty task With hands that never tire. She tore her lew gray hairs, and shviclc'd, " My joy on earth is done! Oh! who will lay me in my grave? un, Uod ! my son ! my son !"? And thousand joyful voices cry, " Huzza! hazza ! a victory !" A youthful wife the threshold cross'd, With matron's treasure bless'd ; A smiling infant nestling lay In slumber at her breast, She spoke no word, she heaved no sigh, The widow's tale to tell, But like a corpse, all white and stifT, Upon the earth-floor fell.? And thousand joyful voices cry, "Huzza! huzza! a victory!" An old weak man, with head of snow, And years threescore and ten, Looli'd in upon his cabin-home, And anguish seized him then, lie help'd not wife, nor helpless babe, Matron, nor little maid. One scalding tear, one choking sob ? He knelt him down, and pray'd. And thousand joyful voices cry, " Huzza ! huzza! a victory !" ijOve one AXOTiinn.?Do we not often foil to manifest that love wc profess, and which serves as the central link in our symbolic chain, and is emblazoned in letters of gold upon our proud and lofty banner ? Do we cherish the princip/rsas we ought?do we practice it in our conduct?our speech and writings toward our brethren when they walk uprightly, and when they wander from ihn r\ f hnnnp o rwl cnl^vinti' 9 \\/T n iiiu j;uiii v/i ituuui imu ouui ivij r ?? '< should remember that the follies and false steps of a brother should call forth our love more strongly, and our more zealous exertion thc?t we may win him back, and encourage him to walk uprightly and surely. It is not unfrequently that we are friendly to the pure and honorable, and that we love those who love us, and whose conduct is in unison with our own conceptions of what is really good. But if such men falter through weakness, are found indulging in one evil habit, or speak or write in a tone that is offensive, we are too likely to withdraw our friendship?suppress the love we cherished for them, and manifest a coldness toward them, and an entire indiflerencc to their respectability and welfare. In this respect we arc prone to turn from the example of Him in whom " wo trust" to forget the power and love of kindness, to reform and bring bring back and exercise that base principle which drives the wanderer further on. " When creatures stray, Farthest from God, then warmest toward them burn His love, even as yon sun boams holiest on The earth when most distant." PltESERVAItlON OF ROOFS OF BUILDINGS.?A letter on this subject, in the Boston Cultivator, says that an old roof may have its usefulness extended for many years, by simply spreading pul- J vunxuu quicK nine over u, so as 10 lorm a very thin coat of it on the roof, which, "by the absorption of the dew, the alkaline solution will be formed, and will penetrate the shingles, which wilL be cleared from moss and preserved by it, and on the occurrence 01 a heavy rain the insoluble parts of the lime will be washed off, leaving it clean. The tendency of white wash to preserve wood from rotting, is universally acknowledged, but it should be borne in mind that it is the alkaline solution of tho lime only, which has this tendency, and that the gross, insoluble particles of tnc ume wnich remain lor a time in the form of a scale on the surface to which it has been applied has nothing to do with its application is to preserve the wood only, it would better accomplish the object by being much more diluted than it generally i?vso that tho alkaline ! quality would be more thoroughly ab-1 sorbcd than is usually the ease. It is a very curious and interesting fact that ' water, at the freezing' point, dissolved ' twice as much of the alkaline ingredient of lime as boiling water does, so that ' the use of hot water to dissolve lime is worse than useless. 1 Strength op the Human Frame. < ?One of the most remarkable and ( inexplicable experiments relative to the strength of the human frame, is that in which a heavy man is raised with the greatest l'acilty when he is lilted up the instant that his own lungs and those of J the persons who raise him arc inllat.ed with air. The heaviest < person in the party lies down upon 1 two chairs, his legs being suppor- j ted by the one and his back by the other. Four persons, one at each leg and one at each shoulder, then try to raise hirn, and find his dead ( weight to be very great, from the difficulty they experience in sup- j portinghiiy. When he is replaced i in the chair^fech of the i'our per- 1 sons ifiKo nam oi nis ootiy as dclbre, and the person to bo lifted gives two signals, by clapping his hands. At the first signal, lie him- ' self and his four lilters begin to draw a long full breath, and when j the inhalation is completed, or the I lungs filled, the second signal is * given for raising the person Irom j the chair. To his own surprise . and that of his bearers, he rises t with the greatest facility, as if he i were no heavier than a leather. J Sometimes, when one of the bear*, j ers performs his part ill,by making i the inhaling out of time, that part ' of the body which he tries to raise is left behind. The exj.eriment was performed at Venice by sustaining the heaviest man of the party on the points of the fore-fingers of six persons. It is asserted that the experiment will not sue- ! i u_ _i CtlUU 1L LUC JH'I SUII Lt> III?

Brewster's Natural Magic. | . 1 f-'orne vandal thief, who visited the mansion of the venerated Washington at Mount Vernon, t last week, was guilty of a shameful mutilation of an exquisitely sculptured marble mantelpiece which had been presented by La- . faytteto Washington. The sculptured panel upon which the muti- 1 lation was made represents an agricultural scene, with a small cottage in the front, a well, a girl pouring water into a tub, around which are cabbages, radishes, &c. tn Kn ? nrl q litfln K/\f? ! tv WX, >?

The lessons are judiciously selected, well ar- 1 ranged, and calculated at once to improve 1 the mind and heart.
