While others wept, he only smiled, And prayed to be unboond : Prayed that bis spirit might go fiee, And soar to realms afar? Immortal realms of purity, Beyond the shiuing star I I stood beside ft maiden fair, When on her dying bed? And saw the tears of dark despair By friends, and loved ones, sited: But smiles alone lit up her eyo, As when she baue farewell; And peacefully?resignedly? In death's cold arms, she fell. I stood beside a dying man, In agony and pain? II is cheeks was thin, pale and wan? And fever recked his brain 1 Yet ever and anon, he prayed, And with his latest breath, Did tell of woundrous love, essayed ; Of love, unquenched in death. I gazed on one whose locks wcie gray, Whose form was bent with years, Who'd jonrney'd down life's weary way. Amid its smiles and tears ; 1 saw him tottering toward the grave, With calm and peaceful bieast; In faith the old man's heart was brave, With faith his heart was blest 1 Oh 1 blessed hope, to mortals given, Which, on the bed of death, Can point the parting soul to heaven, With life's Inst fleeting breath 1 Thrice blessed Faith, how pure, how free? ? Its fountain, how divine? It springeth never ceasingly? Oh ! be it, Father, mine ! . jHisttllanraua Urabitig. Recompense of & Duelist A Leipsio paper just received mentions the following incident as having occurred in New Orleans: 44 A Frenchman, lately arrived, went into a restaurant and called for a glass of beer. As the boy brought It, a tall man, unknown to biin, who had eyed the Frenchman rather insolently on his entrance, snatched the glass from tho table and drank it off. 4 I have not the honor of your acquaintance, sir,' remarked the Frenchman, surprised at tlie familiarity. ' Nor I of yours,' retorted the other. ' You are seeking a quarrel with me, then T 41 should be sorry to leave you in doubt of the fact,' was the.insolent response. 4 Look here, sir,' said the new comer, 41 am It man of peaco, and mind my own bus! ness. I meddle with none, and I receive no unprovoked insults. I pass yours by for this time, Boy, bring me another glass !' The Creole broke into taunting laughter, and when the second glass was brought. up uu seiua it, uranK part 01 m? cooitsn, s ??"? ?.;cn tl.e rcm't'i'lf n?w !

I The bully, who had not time to recover him- /l self, was soon stretched on the tloor, and i pommeled still more unmercifully, till bleed- i ing and quite insensible. The victor then I quietly drew forth his pocket-book, took out a card, and pinned it on the vest of his pros > trate foe.

Boy, another glass of I beer !' This time he took the glass, and drank it off composedly. Then, paying for tho four glasses, he tuined and left the place, amid the wonder of all the conronnv.

Some six weeks after this scene the door of Mr. Petit'* apartment was flung open, one morning, and a man strode in without announcement. 1 I>o you know me?' he cried, in a voice choked with rage.

It was not long before he fell mortally wounded. The community was delivered from a nuisance, and Petit's fame so widely established as a proicssor of the science of battle, that pupils came to hitn from every quarter." Cowardly Swearing. There ore bold blasphemers all round us. We bear their oaths and imprecations as we walk the streets and drive along the highway. Even little children swear like pirates. Sometimes the very air seems close, hot rind stifling as if filled with exhalations from the pit, and we tremble lest God should send sudfeui and awful judgment upon those who so recklessly take his name in vain.? Profanity is so foolish as well as wicked, that it has well been said, u The swearer needs no bait?the devil gets him to bite the naked hook." Some vices we can al most excuse, because of the strength of the temptation by which the perpetrator U asnailed, but tlie profane man has no excuse. Ilia vile habit gratifies not an appetite or lust. It is practiced from pure love of evil, it shown a dark and malignant hatred of God, and has only ono redeeming feature, viz : its boldness. The open blasphemer dofies Jehovah to his face. lie dares the omnipotent One to damn him. But there is a kind of swearing that is just as wicked as this, and n great deal meaner. It is that of those who use the current Lilliputian oaths. Who, not bold enough to aay " damn," soften it to "darn " and seem to think that God will give them great credit tor their politeness. We cannot pollute our columns with a list of these common expressions which are employed by those who are wicked enough but too cowardly to swear " right out." Nor is it necessary. for our readers are peculiarly fortunate in their neighbors if they are not bee ring thein every day. What we wish to call at tention to is this?that nil these little oaths are onlv the orn??t mim "I-?-?J . --- a ?? v "'""B0" ? they moan the same tiling ? tJi?y are just as profane and blasphemous, and the only difference is that whilo Satan has made those for bold sinners be has made these for timid and cowardly ones. We have been told that soino professors of religion are in the habit of using these sugar coated poisons, these blasphemies and imprecations with the rough edges trimmed off. if so, they have, probably, never considered the true nature of such expressions. We hope that they will not be guilty any longer of conduct so cowardly ana disgraoe ful; but eithpr begin to swear outright, to ' A.f'Jt'l''- * * \ i* 9 that everybody can eee lo whose paity they belong, and die cluirch enn excommunicate lliem, or quii swearing altogether. A man who is telling the truth, and is not in a passion about it, has no temptation to ?wear. Unless ho Iias formed a habit of using profane language, he will never think af it. A plnin and straight forward state ment will satisfy him, however important the matter, or how great his interest in it.? lint as the Christian has no right even to tell ? lie, or to get into a passion, he has no more business to swenr, even in the Lilliputian and cowardly way, than an angel has. And if any of our readers have fallen into ihe habit, we ask them to sit down and think how their pietty profani ics would sound in heaven, and what the angels would think Of them, if uttered in their presence. Wo ought not to indulge in any habit that wo know would be out of place in our future home, for this life is given to us a time of preparation for the lifo to come. [(.. o. Herald. A Man of Destiny. A correspondent of the Richmond Whig communicates llie following concerning one of the rescued from the Central America : ' Mr. John 1). Dement, of Oregon City, 0. T., one of the saved from the Central America, whose name has undergone a dozen telegraphic transportations, has experienced a most eventful life for one so young. Residing in the neighborhood of Washington city, where he vaa born, ho volunteered in the Rifle Regiment, composed principally of the best blood of that region, as shown by the service tendered dining the Mexican war. lie fought in every battle from Vera Crnz to the gates of the city and never re ceived a scratch. Dining the occupation of that capilol, he occupied a prominent position in the police depaitment, and escaped many well laid plots against his life, on the part of the Greaser population. He was (ho first tnnu to volunteer on the call of General Scott for a certain number who should blow up the .atstlo of Chepultepec at lite certain sacrifice of their lives. For his gallantry he wns promoted to a Lieutenancy in the regular army, 1st Aitillery?a double honor. His first order was to the p<?t of Steilacoom on I'ogotV Sound, a waste howling wilderness, where his adventures with the Indians orri?.*lva nn.l ntli. ? O r"l "" er varmints, would form a most interesting book. On one occasion lie took a small sailing boat, of the size of an oyster pung, and with only four men, rescued from a most savage tribe of Indians, occupying an island, several persons, including a lady and child, who had been wrecker! and bnrbarionsly treated. Persons familiar with the adventure pronounce it one of the most heroic and daring, requiring an amount of diplomacy rarely found?one which Napoleon might lmvo delighted to honor with the grand cross in the presence of the grand army. Finding the soldier's life in time of ]>ence too monotonous, or obeying an irresistible impulse to active life, lie resigned his position, while stationed at the pleasant post of Charleston, took to himself a wife and returned to Oregon to join his brother in bus iness, who, it inay be said by the way, had crossed the Itocky Mountains with the first train that ever went to Oiegon for the purpose of settlement. Now comes the remarkable feature of his travels on the sea. Last vear in enminor in - ? for goods bo was in the steamer Illinois, which was so near being lost, and arrived in Norfolk undor such painful circumstances. This year ho meets the ill-fated Central America and ho gets into Norfolk again. I'ity it is that we are not in possession of his account of the catastrophe. While his case may not have differed essentially from others, we arc sure he knows as much as any who made statements, and that as in all the rest of his works, his modesty would be equal to his merit." The Mother of Lord Byron. Lord 1 lyroii was afflicted will) a club-foot, and w .cn young ho submitted to some very painful operations to have the deformity removed. but with no success. IIis mother was a proud, passionate and wicked woman, and evon the yearnings of natural affection seemed stifled. There is no good proof that her son naturnlly had a worse disposition than other children, but there was in htm a great power for good or evil, wailing only to ue quickened into lire. Let us see the influence his mother exerted on hie brilliant and powerful mind. ? The reiulera of Byron's life must have shuddered to hear liirn speak of his mother. Moore, the biographer of Byron, speaks three limes of this fact, and tire passages are so remarkable that 1 will transcribe them literally. The first is brief but significant. u On the subject of his deformed foot, Byron described the feeling of horror and humiliation that came over him when his mother, in one of her fits of passion, called him a ' lame brat Jfoors's Byron, vol. i p. 21. The second passage is scarcely less significant: u But in the esse of Lord Byron, disap point mont met him at the rery tbieshold oi life. }JU mother, to whom his affectioi p first naturally and with order turned, either rc|H>lled them rudely, or cnnrieiously trilled with tkem. In speaking of his eaily days to a friend at Genoa, a short time bcfrre his departure for Oteece, he traced his first feelings of pain and humiliation to the cold ness with which his mother had received his caresses in infancy, and the frequent taunts on his personal deformity, with which she wounded him." This passage, found on the 146th page, is only excelled in drcudfulnesa by the following on the 198th page : " lie had spoken of his mother to Lord Sligo, and with a feeling that seemed little short of aversion. ' Sometime or other,' (tftitl lU'rnit 4 T in*11 #y*11 ? !% T ?. ~ J wu, 1 Kin (Cll M'U WIIJ A llllin ItTI towards her.' A few days after, when they wero bathing together in the Gulf of Lepanto, he refcried to his promise, and pointing to his naked leg exclaimed,4 Look here !' it ia to her false delicacy at my birth I owe that deformity ; and yet as long as I can remember, Rho has never ceased to taunt and reproach me with it. Even a few days before wo parted for the last time, on my leaving England, she, in one of her tits of passion, uttered an imprecation on me, praying that I might proro as ill formed in mind as I am in body I Ilia look and manner in relating the frightful circumstance, can only bo conceived by those who have seen him in a similar state of excitement." What an imprecation from the lips of a woman, and that woman a mother!? 44 Praying that I might prove as ill shapen in iuiud as I am in body 1" The True Wife. The death of a true wife is beautifully drawn in the annexed portrait bv Clianning. Her reserve and shrinking delicacy threw a veil over her beautiful character. She was little known beyond her home; but there she silently sprevd around Iter that Soft, pure light, the preciousness of which is never fully understood till it is quenched.? Her calm, gentle wisdom, her sweet humility, her sympathy, which, though tender, was too serene to distmb her clear prcception, lilted her to act instinctively, and without the consciousness of either party, on his more sanguine, ardent mind. She was trnlv a spirit of-creed. ditluMoi? a trammilizinir in Huence loo mildly to be thought ot', and therefore more Mire. The blow which took her from him left a wound which time could not heal. Had his strength been continued, so that lie could have gone from the house of mourning to the haunts of poverty, he would have escaped for a good part of the day, the sense of his bereavement. Hut a few minute's walk in the street now sent him wearied home. There the hoveling eye which hud so long brightened at his entrance was to shed its mild beam on him no more. There the voice that had daily inquired into his labors, and like another con science had whispered a sweet approval, was still. There the smypathy which had pressed with tender hand his aching head, and hv its nursing care had postponed the hour of exhaustion and disease, had gone. He was not indeed left a!on? *, for filial love and reverence spared no soothing offices; but these, though felt and spoken of as most precious, could not take the place of what had been removed. This great loss produced no hurst of grief. It was still, deep sorrow, the feeling of a mighty void, the last burden which the spirit can cast off. His attachment to life from this moment scusi bly declined. In seasons of peculiar sensibility he wished to he gone. He ker>t near I Iiitn the likeness of his departed friend, and spoke to me more than once of the solace which he had found in it. lie heaid her 1 voice from another woild, and hid anticipations of that world, always very strong, became now more vivid and touching. Stkrkotvi'es in Prayer.?Some men who are always at " opening the windows of heaven," " raining a rnin of mercy," " laying down the weapons of rebellion," " stony heart," " unclean hands," " blind eyes," "deaf ears," at length transfer the thoughts to the outward symbol, and quite hide the inward and spiritual state. Some men never say humble, or humility, except by such expressions as " on the bended knee of the soul, and 44 going down into tho valley of humiliation. Many men have np parently forgotten the name of Christ.? They always use the word 44 Cross " instead. They pray to be reconciled to tbe Cross, tliev exhort men to come to tho Croa?, to look at the Oose, to lay down their sins at the loot of the Uross. Wo heard an ordination sermon of great ability, upon salvation by Christ, in which that name was not onc? mentioned, the Cross becoming the synonym. Had a heathen stranger been prca ent, he would have supposed the name of the God whom we worshipped, to be " Cross." This is the most unfortunate because it not only sinks the power of a living personality, but presents in its stead a symbol, which, however precious and historically affecting, may, by too great familiarity, lose entirely the 8atriour, And leave only the Wood, a relic worse than any which Ho manwh siipersi.itution has presented, (Wete York Independent. f I PatKTKita become dead matter at the age i1 of thirty-eight. Tub Cunniko Thrush.?There Is much more intellect in birds than people suppose. An instance of that occurred the other day at a slate quarry belonging to a friend from whom we have the narrative. A thrush, not aware of the expansive properties of gunpowder, thought proper to build her nest on a ridg? of the quarry, in the very centre of which they were constantly blasting the rock. At first she was very much discomposed by the fragments flying in all directions, but still she would not quit her chosen locality. Slio observed that a bell rang whenever a train was about to bo fired, and that at the notice the workmen retired to safe positions. In a few days, when she heard the bell, she quitted her exposed situ ntiun and dew down to where the workmen sheltered themselves, dropping close to their feet. There she would remain until the explosion had taken place, and theu return to her nest. The workmen observed this, narrated it to their employers, and it was told to visitors who came to view the quarry. The visitors naturally expressed a wish to witness so curious a specimen of intellect, but as the rock could not always he blasted when visitors came, the bell was rang instead, and for a few times answered the same purpose. The thrush flew down close to where they stood, but she perceived the clmnge, and it interfered with the process of incubation ; the consequence was that afterwards when the bell was rung, she would peep over the ledge to ascertain if the work 1 men did retreat, and if they did not she would remain where she was. [London Literary Journal. An Tnkidkl HsnuKKD with his own Ahgumknt.?Carrington was a famous infidel speaker in the West, who was the terror of many of the preachers, unable as they were to meet, at a moment's notice, the cavils with which he often interrupted them In the midst of their discourses, lie met with his match, however, in the liev. Mr. Quickly, who had a dash of ctagBttiRity with his native good sense, makingtiiui a popular, as well as instructive preacher. lie was speaking of the nature and destiny of the immortal soul, when the infidel rose in the ctowded house, and said he knew 44 the Hebrew hjiu ino ureok, ami the word thai is translated soul in the Hi bio, might just as well be rendered wind, or smell, or smelling-bottle, or anything of that sort; and it was all nonsense to talk about people having a soul in them to livo forever. " Well, well," 6aid Mr. Quielcly, let us try how it will read, here is my text : " What shall it prcfit a nian to gain the whole world and lose his smelling bottle?" The people took the illustration, and a laugh of detision sent the scoffer away abashed at his own impertinence and defeat. Questions for a Wife.?Do you recollect what your feelings were immediately after you had spoken the first unkind word to your husband ? Did you not feel ashamed and grieved, and yet too proud to admit it? That was, is, and ever will be, your evil genius 1 It is the temptor which la bors incessantly to destroy your peace, which cheats you with an evil delusion that your linsband deserved your anger, when he really most required your love. It is the cancer which feeds on those unspeakable emotions you felt on the first pressure of bis hand and lip. Never forget the manner in which the duties of that calling can alone be fulfilled. If your husband is hasty, your example 01 pauence win elude as well as teach hi til. Your violence may alienate his heart, and your neglect impel him to desperation. Your soothing will redeem him? your softness subdue him?and the goodnatured twinkle of those eyes, now tilling beautifully with priceless tears, will make him all your own. A Yowo Ladv Ovkrboard.? As the passengers were getting off the ltelle, at the Central Warehouse wharf-boat, on Monday night, a young lady, in stepping from the Belle to the wharf-boat, made too short a step, and dropped between the two boats into the river. Her protecter, who, we believe, was travelling with ber, and who was assisting her from one boat to the other, gallantly?stood still, and looked down at her. One of the deck hands, who heard life splashing in the water, and the young lady screaming for help, cried out, " git out of my way," and "carouse" he went into the water and roscued the lady. As soon as she was placed out of danger on the boat, her "attendant" rushed to her, Aiid clasping her in his embrace, exclaimed, "O! my dear, you bad liked to have l>een drowned." He was so much rejoiced that he left, the darkev says, "without ffinin' me a dime, or even tonkin me for jumping in de river arler bis gal.**?Sclma (Ala.)
