TIE VETERANS REWARD.

III the French revolution has presented
to us horrors till then unexampled, it must
be owned also to have furnished US with
some striking traits of humanity and magma
nimlty Many persons Of borh parties vol
unfairly rlsked their lives to preserve those
of people, whom the unhappy state of the
times compelled them to regard as enemies
and these acts Of generous devotion
were not uncommon among the military,
who, by their profession, aud the horrors
they witnessed, might be supposed less sus-
ceptiblc than others the soft feelings Of
compassion.
During the civil war, in skirmish that
had AIKEN place between the republicans
and the Chonans, several of the latter we're
made prisoners When the troop had hal
ted to take some refreshment, they stop
ped in plain near spring, and forming
circle, placed the prisoners in the midst of
it. Their captain, very young man, who
had but lately attained the command, sea-
ted himself at some distance upon the trunk
OF tree, and taking some provisions from
his knapsack, began to refresh himself. -
He perceived one Of the prisoners speak
to his lieutenant, and directly afterwards
advance towards him, belmont remarked
as 'ns unfortunate man drew near, that he
had no other clothing than his shirt and
trowsers, which were in rags and covered
witt blood, and that linen ba. dage, also
stained with blood, covered hls forehead
and his left eve
The sight Of so much misery sensibly
touched The heart of the young officer {:
and he was still more moved when the pri-
soner said to him, I" NJ lie Commandant,
have saved the miniature of my wife will
you, when ! shall be no more, have the
charity to remit it to my mother, Madame
Duplessis, at Lamballe My wife and
children reside with her. Too much mo-
we'd to reply to this touching request, Del
mont glzed upon him in silence and he
added, IN tone of more pressing intreaty,
" in the name of heaven, do not refuse me
If you do, they must always suffer from
their ignorance of my fate, for il is my in
tention to conceal my name from the court
martial Thus they will have no means OF
ascertaining what has become of me ; but
If they receive the portrait they will be
certain that ] would have parted with it on
" at the hour Of death"

POETRY.
THE RAISING OF LAZARUS.

We copy the annexed animated and pous de
,eripton of the raising Of Lazarus, from the poet
cal productions Of the Rev. LIONEL THOMAS
BERGuER, Chaplain in the service ofhis Britain ic
Majesty. II is one of the happiest descriptions we
have seen delneated by the pen Of the poet, aud 8
probably founded on the following passage, which
will be found in the book of St. John the Evange-
hit, chapter H.
= Jesus saith unto her, said not unto thee that
if,hou wouldst believe, thoa shoudst see the glory
of God
Al Then they took away The stone from he plqce
where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his
eyes, and said, Father thank ,hee that thou has.
heard me.
AZ And knew that thou Nearest ric always but
because o the people which stand by said IL, that
they may believe that thou hast sen. me.
~ Aud when he thus had spoken, he cried with
loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Al Aud he that was dead came forth, bound haud
and foot with grave clothes and his face was
bound about with napkin Jesus saith unto them
Loose him, and let him 90.
The sepulchre wa, gaping wide,
It's closing stone was rolled aside,
Anl shuddering crowds pressed round, to win
A sight Of the foul scene within.
The charnel steam, too strong to bear,
Assembled on the healthfu! air.
And grOanDg deep for him who slert,
Ev'n Christ stood at the grave-and wept.

The metamorphoscd body wore
But, like the first formed OF mankind,

an extraordinary instance of capricous ty-
ranny. 1t is, that a German prisoner of
gigantic figure and heroic courage, was ex-

stroyed inch-meal by dwarf, who reached
little higher than his knees.

A remarkable case OF suicide, caused, by
despair, occurred at St. Louis, Miss. on the
11th ult.
A young man in the employment Of Mr..
BranSon, cabinet maker, of the name of
Aaron Shane, after he arose from dinner,
retired to AN upper room in the house, wrote
with chalk on the floor a request that a
brother, living in Beaver county, Pa. would
take care Of his mother, and entreated a fell
low workman to convey to said brother a
few notes he possessed: thcn, with apparent
icliberation, heavily loaded a pistol
seated himself on the floor. with his back
reclining against the wall, and fired in
such direction as to blow of the frontal
bone of his hcad-pait Of the scali was found
some distance from him. lie brcathed a
few minutes, and then expired. Shane had
an interesting appearance; he strove to VIII
tue affections of strangers--yet he was a
voided, stunned as the poisoned adder. II,
complained that no boarding house woult
receive him--no person offered him The
] hand of friendship. His body and linb'
