PERSEVERANCE. twill enableu to accom-
plish that which at first seemsinsurmounta-

scure individual, rising gradually 10 distinc-
ton by dint Of perseverance. Look at that
man, who but a few years ago, was poor
ragged boy. Where is he now! He has
reached the pinnacle of fame, and occupies
the highest station in Tie gift Of free peo-
pie. Wemight cite many instances to illus-
trate the great effects Of perseverance. We
will, however, content ourselves with the
reiteralion Of che, which we hope will be
instructive and pleasing to our readers.
A man, who was in good circumstances,
once commenced, what is considered the
most visionary Of all schemes, that Of dig

least success. His wealth, his time, the la

of ever accomplishing his o6ject--the con-

it failed, and the merchants were unwilling
any longer to furnish the articles he most
needed to prosecute his labors. On being
informed Of that, he took his SHIFT frt n his
back, and offered it as a ccmpenaation.-
The merchant, thunder-struck with such
unequalled perseverance give him the oil,
He resumed his labors, and before it was
consumed struck a rich vein Of gold, which
made him master of inexhaustible wealth.
Perseverance should form conspicuous

Then sweet the bugle signal swclled,
And ceased the fight whcre'c it spread,
While loud the dying soldier yelled,
And routed focmen scattering fed.
And who was hewho led them forth
To glory mid that gloomy hour!---
Who reaped the rich reward of worth,
And mounted high the steep of powerl
Behold the bending veteran there,
Beside the altar of his God
Twas he who made his sabre bare,
And o'or that field conqueror trod
His sun is set. No more the sound
OF trump or drum shall mark his course;
In vain his war horse paws the ground,
In vain wars clarion echoes hoarse,
Freed from mass of cankering cares,
Amid his loved ones he reposes
And while the Christians cross he bears,
Life's latest stage seems strewn with roses.

MISCELLANEOUS S.
From the American Presbyterian.
THE SACREMENT NEAR THE HER
MITAGE,

Agreeable 10 the notice previously given,
the Senior Editor of this paper together
with the Rev. Mr. Smith administered the
Sacrement of the Lords Supper, last Sab
bath, in the Church near the Hermitage.
The church is known on our Presbyteri-
an records by the name of Ephesus, and
was erected many years since on the do
main appertaining to the Hermitage, princi-
pally, by its venerable proprietor, the Elk
Presideit of the United States. tits beau
tifulIy located, and though not spacious, nor
even finished, yet it is delightful Summer
Temple for the calm and pure worship of
the Triune God Such a! least it seemed
to us, during the services of the late solem-
nifty, and especially so when it became the
abode Of the communion of redeemed spjr-
its, around the table of their present Lord
and saviour. While such seasons are gen.
'erally the most joyous and elevating, which
believers can enjoy on earth the one, to
which we have alluded, afforded more than
ordinary interesting accessions to the church,
was numbered one, peculiarly interesting
we mean the Ex-President himself. To
the christian, every spiritual accession to
the army of the living God is ground of joy,
because every soul is of infinite value and
in its redemption, the spiritual empire, and
consequently the declarative glory Of the
Great Captain of his salvation are augmen-
ted. Sill, on account of the great amount
of commanding influence, which distin-
guished individuals are capable of exercls-
ing in the cause of religion when truly con-
verted to God-their conversion to all chris
tians, cannot be otherwise than matter of
far more than ordinary interest and rejoic-
ing. This prospective Of all other consid-
erations is calculated to yield uncommon
qualification to all who feel interested in the
kingdom of Christ below, when they learn,
that General Jackson has solemenly conse-
Grated himself to the promotion of its inter-
ests during the remainder of his days, 1t
may well be imagined that the scene was
thrilling, when this veteran in years, and in
the service of his county, professed alleg
ance to the Sovereign of all world, and pro-
missed an eternal fidelity to him, who
demands the homage of all created intelli-
gences. How could it be otherwise! A
form of no common appearance for inspir-
ing veneration, was standing before the AS
sembly. 1t was the form of one, who had
long been known as amongst the most dis
tlnguised of his country's Generals-who
had often periled his life in defence, and
h pho under God had achieved one of the
most memorable victories recorded IN the
annals of modern warfare. Nor is this all.
The same venerable form had filled, as a
statesman the highest seat in the govern
ment Of this country, and had been clothed
with the highest civic honors which that
country, in all its unequaled freedom and
Independence could bestow.
He had passed through life of most
eyentiul seenes--he had returned to his own
hermiiage--to the tomb of his beloved con-
sort, Ito the few remaining friends, of his

A cold, dIeary hight, herr students,
said the host of the Double Eagle, as, he
threw faggot of wood upon the fire, a.
round which were seated a knot of students
silently smoking their meerschaums. while
upon table near at hand stood a number
of empty bottles and drinking cups,
bearing evidence of their recent good. cheer.
The night was far advanced--it was ST..
Marks eve-and they had been discussing
the numerous superstitions, current among
the peasantry respecting this hallowed time.
There was pause in the conversation, and
each sat seemingly absorbed in his own
thoughts, which to Judge from the grave as
pect Of their countenance, were serious G.
nough. So deeply were they buried in
meditation, that none needed the obserya-
ton of the landlord. 1t was towards the
close of autumn, and TIE wind wbistled
shrilly, as itswept past the crazy old inn,
giving token of the approach of stern-visaged
Winter.
"WelI, Herman" said one Of the stu
dents, laying aside his pipe, and moving a
little from the fire, which now burned
brightly-"since you have laughed at all
legends and superstitions which have been
related tonight, and profess not 10 believe
in the existence of spirits, good or lad, yet
there is one concerning which / would ask
your opinion. 1t is said that on the eve Of
st Marks one may see the shades Of
those who ere to die in short time pass
into the church, by watching there at mid
night" 49,"
"Mere stories to amuse children, replied
Herman.
"Did not Burgomeister Wagram declare
that he saw, on the eve of St Marks as he
was returning home late at night from
Grosheim, shadowy figure, the exact
counterpart of himself, glide into the porch
of the church as he left it-and did he not
die few months allerwardH'
"Very true, Herr Rosambelt; but you
must recollect that old Wagram was esteem
ed the most temperate in EngIebach. And
it is we'll known that, on the occasion allu-
ded to, he was returning from merry
king, and it is but just to presume that his
perceptiye faculties could not have been
very perfect. 1t is probable he saw but his
own shadow, reflected by the moon, which
remember shone brightly that night; and
his disordered intellect and superstitious
folly led him to imagine it spirit. As to-
his death, which occurred so shortly AFTER
it is my firm belief that it had no more con-
nection with st Marke's eve, than-than"
puzzled for a simile-"than fire has with
water" '.
-Grantiug all you have said, still think
il somewhat strange, Though | do not pro-
Eess to be superstilious, yet there is some
thing beautiful in the belief that there are
spirits-those Of our friends and kindred
who watch over US in our sleeping hours,
and hover around during the busy scenes of
day guarding us from evll-who, when the
sand of life has nearly run, assume a visa

world to realms of happiness and Bliss"

longing to the division which Jackson COM

corporal Of the regulars, in very aulhora-

men of a volunteer company TO disengage
it from the mud. This order was 50 haugh-

comply. Jackson, who heard the alterca-
ton, approached in his hunting shirt and
travelling boots, and being taken for one of
the priva!e5, was also ordered to assist he

1t was the Sabbath, and around,
A sacred stiffness, like shroud,
Had settled DER that holy ground
Where oft, in prayer, the mighty bowed;
while near at hand, mid waving bowers,
The Hermitage in beauty smiled
Where the old warrior, meath the flowers,
Oft spOrted with prattling child.
There, when the din of battle died,
And manhood's prime was lost in age,
When weary of earth's pomp and pride
Tho high on fame's immortal page,
With hands unstained, and bosom pure
The gallant soldier sought rest
Where baubles bright could not allure;
Where holy peace might fill his breast.
1t was the Sabbath; and host
Had gathered meath that lovely spire,
Whose prota type on Asias coast
Had seen the Gospels kindling fire,
In Ephesus he humbly stood,
Whose walls arose at his commands
And Joined the phalanx of the good,
And raised to Heaven his feeble hand,
Oh! twas sight SO truly grand,
That they who witness wept aloud;
Yes, he the mightiest Of the land,
Before his God in meekness bowed,
The hero, who so often hurled
Destruction on his country's foe,
Now owned the Sovereign of the world,
And laid his earthly honors low.
| looked, and 10 before me rolled
The long red line of warrior meni
The flash of frightened steel and gold
Shot thro' the trees and up the glen,
And waved the stars DER Orleans spires,
And there, in buff and blue arayod,
Stood unscared youth and yeteru sires
To live or die as glory bade.
And then commenced the hour of blood,
And wars wild thunder shook the shore,
While Mississippi's giant flood
Received thousand rills of gore,
Then heard mid the conquering free,
One voice above all others ring,
advancing my brave boys, gallahtly,
And fearless DER the breast work spring"
Onward the wave of carnage rolled,
The British Lion traled in blood,
And rroeadero's host so bold
Sank meath the rushing CORY food.

"What can possibly detain Hermann"
said Rosambert to his fellow students. "It
is now an hour since he started, and he
should have returned ere this. hope no
evil has belalIen him."
Another hour elapsed--still he came not.
At last it was proposed that they should
seek him. A lantern was procured, and
after proceeding at rapid pace they arrived
at the ehurch-yard, and descending the
gloomy vault, they discovered the body of
ill-fated Herman lying upon his face across
the threshold, the ertremity Of his go,0n

former days-to some of the surviving chill
dren of these friends, and in their view was
about plodging himself to become a soldier
in new army and TO engage in the perfor-
nance of duties of higher importance than
ever commanded the attention of earthly
thrones or coulederated states, And to add
if possible to the impressiyeness of the
scene, the partner of his adopted son dear
to him indeed as daughter together with
beloved niece, were also about to seal with
him there conyanant, for the first thine to be
the followers Of the Prince of Peace. The
whole of the preparatory service was deep
ly interesting, but when the time arrived for
him and his relatives, and friends to arise
and take their seats at the table Of their as
cended Redeemer. scene OF weeping graf
itude and joy, seemed to pervade the whole
congregation. 81 I
TO see this aged veteran, whose head bad
stood erect in battle and through sceans Of
fearful bearing, bending that head in humble,
and adoring reverence at the table of his
Divine Master, while tears of penitence and
JOY trickled down his care-worn cheeks was
indeed spectacle Of the most intense NOR
al interest. No one, indeed could question
the sincerity of his profession of faith in
the Son of God. The whole world ac-
quainted with him whether friends or foes,
must acknowledge that his lips have spoken
in all his varied difficulties the meaning of
his heart, and that his actions have always
corresponded with his sentiments.
May God bless and uphold him in his
last days, and make them his most comfor-
table and happy days. And when the time
for his departure shall arrive may he come
to his grave, not only full of years, but full
of peace joy and holy triumph.
In all real conversions to God; let us ev-
remember, that sit is not by might or pow
er, but by the spirit saith the Lord" To
his grace then be all the glory:
P. s. The health of the General has
been generally comfortable during this sea-
son.
