Fine .anecdote of Henry VIII.--B Bishop Latimer
having one day preached before King Henry the
Eighth sermon which had displeased his Majesty,
he was ordered TO preach again on the next Sunday,
and to make an apology for the offence he had Civ
en-. After naming his text, the good bishop thus
began his sermon "Hugh Latmer, dost thou know
before whom thou art this day to speak 10 the
high and mighty monarch the King most excellent
Majesty who can take away thy life if thou offendest:
therefore take heed that thou speakest not word
that may displease But then, consider well, Hugh
dost thou not know from whence thou contest upon
whose message thou art sent? Even by the great
and mighty God who is all present; and who be-
holdeth all thy ways and who is able to cast Thy
soul into hell therefore take care thou deliverest
1 thy message faithfully" He then proceeded with
the same sermon he had preached the preceding
Sunday but with considerably more energy. The
sermon ended, the court were full of expectation to
know what would be the fate ofthis honest and plain
dealing bishop. After dinner the King calls Tor
Latmer, and, with stern countenance, asked him,
g How he dared to be so bold as 10 preach IN such
manner?" He, falling on his knees, REPLIED " His
t duty to his God and his Prince had enforced him
thereto, and that he had merely discharged his duty
, and his conscience in what he had spoken" Upon
which the King, rising from his seat, and taking
the good man by the hand, embraced him, saying
|" Blessed be God | have so honest servant.

From the Richmond Enquirer.

We look forward to the arrival of M. LAFAYETTE
with feelings of the strongest enthusiasm. We
anticipate the generous glow of vrtuous sentiment,
which he will revive in our bosoms. He arrives
among US. Our citizens receive him with open
arms. The aged warrior goes forth to welcome
the companion of his tolls. The young hail him
as the friend of their fathers end their country.
Crowds salute him wherever he goes. The free
tribute Of nations congratulations awaits upon
him. The wisest and the best OF citizens press
him to their hearts. The only free nation on the
Iglobe receives with reclamation the generous TO-
reigner, the adopted son, who contributed to make
her free. There is something in the anticipation
OF this spectacle which warns every grateful bosom.
II will resemble the scenes which history conjures
lup as between Timoleon and the people Of Cor
nth We shall kindle again the brightest fame
which ever warmed our citizens. We shall revive,
as it were, the spark of re, and the patriotism
which it kindled. Nor is the spectacle destitute of
the highest interest to our illusrious guest. Cities
which he saw almost in their cradle fields which
| he left covered with woods, will rise to his view
with all their embellishments such are the mira.
Giles which liberty produces.
| A reception so kind, so endearing to all parties,
will not be lost upon other nations. The liberal
spirits Of all Europe will witness in it that glow of
gratitude which republics are delighted to pay to
their benefactors-and in the esteem, which we
manifest for him, the devoted attachment which
we feel for the blessings of liberty.

Gen. Lafayette.--The National Intelligencel
relates the following anecdote of this distinguished
person. In the year 1887 there was destructive
fire in Boston, in consequence ofwhch many of the
inhabitants were reduced to want. LAFAYETTE
who was then in France having heard of the ca
lamity, Immediately wrote to a friend in Massa-
chussets, expressing his sympathy for the suffer
ers, and directing him to draw bill on him for
500 pounds sterling, to be applied towards their
relief. The bill was accordingly drawn, the mo
ney was received, and APP led according TO his
direction. The father Of one Of the present mera-
bers of Congress from Massachusetts, wasl the
gentleman to whom the letter was addressed, and
his son still preserves it as precious memorial
lof the philanthropy and american feeling Of La

BY BERNARD BARTON
ON an elegant little 1corE entitled d" Forget M
not
Appalling language! unto me
How much thy words impart!
They seem as if designed TO be
The Motto of the Heart;
Whose fondest feelings, still the same,
Whate'er its earthly lot,
Prefer alike this touching claim,
And say Forget me not!'
The soldier, who for glory dies,
However bright may seem
The fame he wins 10 others' eyes,
Would own that fame dream,
Did he not hope its better part
Would keep him unforgot,
The chosen motto Of his heart
Is still-'F Forget me not!'
The sailor, tost on stormy seas,
Though far his bark may roam,
Still hears voice in every breeze
That wakens thoughts Of home.
He thinks upon his distant friends,
His wife, his humble cot;
And from his inmost heart ascends
The prayer Forget me not
He SCuiploT, pdiutcr3 WHHS they trace
On canvass, or in stone,
Another's figure, form or face,
Our notto's spirit own;
Each thus would like to leave behind
His semblance--and for what?
But that the thought which fills his mind
Is this Forget me not ?
The poet, too, who borne along
In thought to distant time
Pours forth his Utmost soul in song,
Holds fast this hope sublime
He would glorious name bequeath,
Oblivion shall not blot,
And round that name his thoughts enwreath
The words Forget me not!'
Our motto is, in truth, the voice
OF nature in the heart;
For who from mortal life, by choice,
Forgotten would depart?
Nor is the wish by grace abhoTred,
Or counted as spot;
Even the language of our Lord
Is still Forget me not ?
Within the heart his Spirit speaks
The words OF truth divine,
And by its heavenly teaching seeks
To make that heart his shrine.
This is Sc the still small voice." which all
In city or in grot,
May hear and tire~-ts gentle call
Is Man, forget me not p
