One of the most remarkable events of the long struggle of the Christian world to obtain possession of tho Iloly Grave was the Children's Crusade.? Though not commonly narrated in modern history, it is found in the pages of many old chronicles ; nnd the German historian, Wilkin, from whose large work on the Crusades wo draw the materials for the following sketch, declares that we may place full confidence in their accounts. For some time previous to the war of 1212, the Christian world, tired of the long, un successful wars with the Infidel, seemed to have lost the true Crusader's zeal. True there was much talk about. another expedition, but the people shrunk from all active preparation.? The project was deterred from year to year, and might have slept forever had not a strange and startling event suddenly roused the popular feeling and put to shame the sluggish ease of the Christian world. Impatient at the apathy of their sires, and excited by the tails which wondering fairies told of suffering pilgrims at Jerusalem, the children of France and Germany rose up in ungovernable frenzy, bent on ^lie liberation of the Holy City. Kings had failed ; but the sanguine spirit of youth determined to vindicate Christendom, and revenge on the Infidel, the injuries and insults he had inflicted on the pilgrims of Christ. A shepherd lad of Vendome named Stephen, was the first to rouse the youth of Franco. Pretending that the Saviour had appeared to him in the guise of an old shepherd, and gave him authority to preach a children's crusade, he induced other lads of his own age to join him. His stirring appeals and seeming miracles soon drew around him an immenso throng of eager youths flushed with the spirit of holy enterprise! and chivalry. The example was followed in other parts of Franco; frcn-J 7.ied youths raised the standard of the ! cross, and gathered about them multitudes of children, all eager for the crusade. But, all acknowledged young Stephen of Vendouio their lord and master, and believed him the chosen of God to lead them on to victory over the Saracens. He was regarded as a saint, and happy was the youth who obtained so much as a thread from his coat! Even grown people indulged the idle hope that for some mighty purpose God had thus roused up the youth of Christendom. The king of! France himself was at first inclined to; this belief. The greater part of the clergy and many of the laity regarded the insane enthusiasm of the boys as the work of some malicious magician ; but the common .people were firmly jKsrsnadcd that the opposition was all from envy, and called them scoffers and Infidels. Thus encouraged by the popular! voice, and incensed by the oppoaition of the King and clergy, the frantic youths set all authority at defiance.? Despising tl\,e royal edict, they assembled in large numbers in the towns and villages of Franco and marched through the country with banners, mcerrse, wax torches and crosses, singing inspiring songs. As the long processions wound along kite high ways of France, youths and old men, women and young girls, hastened torth to ioin "1 them. Mechanics left their benches, i laborers their fields, to follow and I cheer on the brave young Crusaders. In every town they were furnished i with food and other alms. But if ask- i ed where they were going, they sim- i ply answered, " to Goa ana to seek the Holv cross on the other side of the sea." This fearful frenzy soon spread into Burgundy and Germany. In the Rhino county especially, hundreds of boys shouldered the cross; and these not the eons of the poor alone, but of the rich and noble. The young German Crusaders kept aloof from those of France. Dressed in long pilgrim rol)C8, with pi I er rim staves and waTlfttR. ? w -""7' they took the road to Italy, under the head of a boy, who, according to some chroniclers, was not ten years old!? But long before the Alps were reached, many perished in the forest and deserts. Others fell into tho hands of robbers, and returned homo forlorn and destitute. A large number, among them many men and women, wandered into Genoa, whore their appearance created great consternation. At first a hostile demonstration was feared ; next, a famine from the voracity of so many hungry mouths. But in truth the condition of the poor pilgrims was such as would inspire more pity than fear. For the great part of them were mere boys, without, money or weapons, and who cherished the forlorn hope that God, bv some great miracle, would divide tho sea and let them pass over dry shod to the delivery of Jerusalem ! But, alas ! the conduct of the young Crusaders did not at all correspond with their high designs ! and hopes. However, it was at hrst 1 their camp, long before their entrance \ into Genoa, was disgraced by fearful 1 licentiousness. No wonder the peoplo 1 of Genoa, ordered the pilgrims to quit ( the city without delay. But many of { them convinced of the folly of the pil- j grimage, were allowed to take up their 1 abode in Genoa. In latter times, many ' noblo families of the city traced their 1 origin back to those pilgriiu youths. 8 1 hose who still clnng to their faith 8 and hope, after reposing one night, set 1 forward again. 13ut their numbers 11 every day grew less. Many, glad to 1 be hired as servants, remained in the 1 cities and towns along the way, till at 8 length the band was wholly broken up ^ and scattered. Lonely and ashamed, ( scorned and ridiculed, the poor youths * slunk homo through the villages 1 which, a few weeks before, tlicy had 1 passed in joyous triumph. Yet more disastrous was the fate of j the French Crusaders. Under the r guidance of Stophen, thirty thousand > children with empty purses, hut rich j in hope, arrived at Marseilles, intend ing there to take ship for the holy land. Here they fell into the clutches of two : slave-merchants, who practised a terrible deception on these poor wretches. The two villains induced many of them to embark in their ships, promie- * ing to convey them to Syria free of ) charge. Seven large shins, filled with '' rejoicing young Crusaders, set sail v from Marseilles. On the second day nO/.? f.n/v i'... .. .1 ^ !? ? * cui^i \ji mum luuiiucrai in h neavy l~ storm near the islands of San Pietro. k The live other ships weathered to the ' storm; but the poor youths had a ( worse fate than drowning in store * for them. The slave merchants carri- ( ed them to Alexandria, where some of 1 them were sold to the Caliph of Bag- c dad, and some to otlier Saracen Prin- 1 cos. Not a few suffered martyrdom ' rather than change their religion.? j Several, after long years of slavery, 1 found their way to France again ; hut e the greater number died in servitude. 1 Thus miserably ended the children's c crusade. It is related that when Pope 8 Innocent heard their story, he exclaim- ? ed, " These children put us to shame ! 1 For they march forth with joyous zeal f to rescue the holy land, while wo do 1 but bleep." * The Dying Sunday School Scholar. f Should we n<?t record the happy ^ departure of those that fall asleep in ^ Jesus, especially if they he the lambs a of his llock?

A fufiltnent ^ of tliis promise I have recently witness- . ed while visiting our Sabbath School, \ on whose beautiful form dire con- j sumption had laid its withering hand, , and whose strength, like the expiring ( lamp, gradually decayed till the flame , of life burnt ottf, and ber ransomed r spirit took its flight to that happy land ] where saints ana angels dwell? \ " Where evorlasting spring abides t And never withering flowers." j At an early age the subject of this 1 brief memoir entered our Sabbath i School. She was very regular in her 1 attendance, and diligent in acquiring < knowledge. A short time before her ' death it was evident that God was pre- . paring her for a brighter and a bet- i tor world. Iler mind was in a gloomy state for some time; but light from j heaven burst on her soul, and the still 1 jraall oice of tnircy trfcispotod, * Thy ring,which are many arahll forgiven thee." . i . , I visited her many times daring her illuees, and fouud her, with child-like simplicity, resting her hope on the Stoning blood of Jesus. With great earnestness she repeated? 44 There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Imtnanud's veto*. Ami sinnors plunged beneath the Hood, Lose all their guilty stains." , I asked her if ehe was afraid to die? In a moment she answered, lifting up her languid eyes? "Jesus, lover of my soul, f . Let me to thy bosom fly." From this time she continued rapidly to sink, until on Friday morning, March 11th, at three o'clock, she fell asleep in Jesus, at the age of 15 years. She was sensible to the last moment, and desired that her father and mother, brother and sisters,and several of her fellow-scholars, should bo called to witness her happiness ; when they received from her quivering lips her last words, and her dying charge to attend the means of grace, and to love the Saviour, that they might be prepared to meet her again beyond the tomb, where Jesus is?they 6tood watching, " Till from her eye came ono bright ray, That bound them like a spell ; And as her spirit passed away, They henrd hei sigh " Farewell." The "Human Face Divine."?Rev. Orvillo Dewey, in one of his lectures, delivered in Baltimore last season, on "Human Destiny," said : The expression of the face is a beautiful distinction of humanity. We are i little aware of the influence which it | constantly exerts. If the dumb animal, Dn whom man exercises his cruelty, ( if the horse or dog, when suffering by i t blow from the violence of man, could turn upon him with a look of indignation or appeal, could any one resist the power of the mntn cxumtr.. . lation ? ltow extraordinary, too, the ; Jifference of expression in the human ? race, hv which the recognition of per , lonnl identity is secured ! On this , (tua.ll surface, nine inches by six, are < lepicted such various traits, thai j unong the millions of inhuhitants on ( he earth, no two have the same linen- | nenits of the face. What dire con fit- t ion would ensue if all countenances ' vere alike; fathers did not know their \ nvn children by sight, nor hnsbands ( heir wives ! lint now we could pick | >ut our friend frotn among the multi- , tides of the assembled universe. j If yon desire to enjoy life, avoid un- 5 punctual people.

But, nn- j brtunately, Johnny was detected and { n due course of time was carried be- ( ore Judge P , for trial. The ( vitne6ses were introduced, and the act of the theft was proven beyond ( he shadow of a doubt.
