THE VOICE FREEDOM

young Wilson on this incident and on the next
morning after he became acquainted with the de-
sign of Crosby, with trembling hand examined
the letter and certificate. 1t was written by Cros-
by, and the land he wished to purchase, the iden-
tical farm of Davis
Astonished that his friend the Judge should
certify that the land was worth no more, Mr.. Da-
Wis asked to see the certificate and after a mo-
ments examination unhesitatingly pronounced the
signature forgery
An explanation from the young man now be-
came necessary, and calling Lucy into the room,
he told them his history and laid before them
pile of patents and bank notes, one after another, till
the amount reached thousands.
1t was day of thankful happiness to Old ST.
mon Davis and his daughter, and not less so to
young Wilson.
Not long after this scene Crosby entered. His
air was that of man who has an enemy in his
power and intends to trample upon him. He
scarcely noticed Wilson except with look of con-
tempt. After pouring out all his maledictions up
on the family he advised them to leave Immediate
ly. The old man inquired if he would give him
nothing for the Improvements he had made The
answer was, mot a cent You certainly would
not, said Wilson, drive out this old man and his
daughter penniless into the world? g
What is that to you,' replied Crosby with g
look of malice and contempt. | will answer you
that question: said Wilson, and acquainted him
with what the reader already has learnt. eros
by, at first was stupe6ed with astonishment bu
when he saw that all his schemes of villainy were
defeated, and proof of his having committed for
gerry could be established, his assurance forsook
him, and he threw himself upon his knees, and
begged first the old man, then Lucy and Wilson
to spare him.
Affected with his appeals, the latter agreed tc
purchase the farm upon which Crosby lived, upon
condition of his instantly leaving the country. He
accepted the terms and with his family fled to Tex
las.
Why should spin out the narrative? Lucy and
Charles were married, and though splendid man
sion rose upon the farm of Mr.. Davis, both loved
far better the little room where she had so long
and anxiousl watched over the sick bed of the
homeless stranger. Mr.. Wilson was rich but
never forgot those who were in want
Cheered by the kind and afectionate attention
of his children, Old Simon Davis almost seemed
to have renewed his existence. He lived many
years, and long enough to !ell the bright eyed son
of Charles and Lucy the story of the FORGED
DEED. And when he told the listening boy how
his father, when poor and friendless, was taken
home and kindly treated, and in turn became their
benefactor, he impressed upon the mind of his
grandchild, that even cup of cold water, given
from pure motive shall not lose its reward

From the Common School Journal.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE.-As of all existing Ian
guages and hteraures, the English is most re-
plete with beneftto the human race so it is over
spreading the earth with rapidly far exceeding
any other. With a partial exception in Canada,
English is the language of the continent of Amer
ca, north of Mexico; and at the existing rate Of
increase there will be hundred millions speaking
English in the United States at the end of this
century. In the West India Islands we have given
our language to population, collected from va
rious parts of Africa and by this circumstance
alone they have been brought many centuries near
err civilization than their countrymen in Africa, who
may for ages grope about in the dark, destitute of
any means of acquiring true religion and science.
Their dialect is an uncouth perversion of English
suited to the present crude state Of their ideas
but their literature will be the literature of Eng
land, and their language will gradually be con-
formed to the standard. More recently the Eng
lish language has taken root in the continent of
Africa itself, and nation is rising by means of it,,
IN the extensive territory belonging to the Cape,
out OF a certain mixture of different races. But
the scene of its greatest triumph will be in Asia.
10 the south new continent is peopling with the
English race; to the north, an ancient people, who
have always taken the lead in the progress of rel-
gion and science in the East, have adopted the En-
glish language as their language of education by
means of which they are becoming animated by
a new spirit, and are entering at once upon the
improved knowledge of Europe, the fruit of the
labor and invention of successive ages. The En-
glish language, not many generations hence, will
be spoken by millions in all the four quarters of
the globe; and our learning, our morals our prn-
ciples of constitutional liberty, and our religion
embodied in the established literature, and difused
through the genius of the vernacular languages,
will spread far and wide among the nations.

ANTIQUITIES OF JERUsALEM.-In Jerusalem we
are surprised to find how much of antiquity re-
mains, which no traveller has ever mentioned, or
apparently ever seen. The walls around the great
area of the mosque of Omar are, without ques-
ton, those built by Herod around the area of his
temple. The size, position, and character of the
stone Zone Of them 80 1-2 feet long, and many over
90 feet shew this of themselves but it is fur
Their demonstrated by the fact that near the south
west corner there still remains, in part of the wall,
the foot of an immense arch, evidently belonging
to the bridge which ancienty led from the tenn
pie to the Hysus on Mount Sion. TJosephus ].
g, S, e. This no one appears even to have seen.
In the castle near the Yafxa gate is also an ancient
tower of stone, like those of the temple correspond
ing precisely to Josephus's description of the
tower Hippicus-[B. j. S, A. g. which Titus left
standing as memento. The ancient part is over
40 feet high, and built solid, without any room
within. We have no doubt that it is Hppicus.
We have thus gain ed some important fixed points
from which to start, in applying the ancient descrip-
tons of the city. We have been able also to trace
TO a considerable distance the ancient wall N. w.
and N. of the present city The pool of Sloan,
At the mouth ofthe Tyropecum, (see Catherwood's
Dlan,) is without doubt the Sloan Of Josephus
md the wall of Nehemiah, further down, is the
En-Rogel of Scripture, where the Border of Judah
md Benjamin passed up the valley of Hinnom.
We have found, further that the mosque of Omar
which is doubtless ancient the water has Just the
aste of that of Sloan, and we conjecture a con-
lection between them. This point we have yet .
0 examine. We have not completed the half of

WAR.

What, speaking in quite unofficial language, is
the nett purpor and upshot of war? To my own
knowledge, for example, there dwell and toll, in
the British village of Dumdrige, usually some five
hundred souls. From these, by certain natural
enemies of the French they are successfully Sc
lected, during the French war, say thirty abe-bod
led men. Dumdridge, at her own expense had
sucked and nursed Them she has, not without
difficulty and sorrow, fed them up to manhood,
and even trained them to crafts, so that one can
weave, another build, another hammer, and the
weakest can stand under thirty stone avoirdupois
Nevertheless, amid much weeping and swearing
they are selected all dressed in red, and shipped
away, at the public charges, some two thousand
miles, or say only to the South of Spain; and fed
there till wanted. And now, to that same spot in
the South of SPAIN are thirty similar French arti-
zans, from French Drumdridge, in like manner
till at length, after infinite effort, the
two parties come into actual juxtaposition; and
thirty stand fronting thirty, each with gun in
his hand Straightway the word Fire. is CIV
en-; and they blow the souls out of one another;
and in place of sixty brisk, useful craftsmen, the
world has sixty dead carcasses, which it must bury,
and anew shed tears for. Had these men any
quarrel? Busy as the devil is they had not the
smallest! They lived far enough apart; were the
entirest strangers nay, in so wide auniverse, there
vas even, unconsciously, by commerce. some mu-
ual hepfulness between them.

On the Death of a Sister.
BY CHARLES spRAGUE,


BY CHARLES sPRAGUE,
knew that must part; day after day,
| saw the dread Destroyer win his way.
That hollow cough first rang the fatal knell,
As my ear its prophet-warnng fell;
Feeble and slow the light footstep grew,
Thy wasting cheek put on deaths pallld hue,
Thy thin, hot hand to mine weakly chung,
Each sweet Good night fell fainter from thy tongue
knew that must part--no power could save
Thy quiet goodness from early grave:
Those eyes dull though kiud each glance they cast,
Looking sisters fondness to the last;
Thy lips SO pale, that gently pressed my cheek;
Thy yoce-aas! thou couldst but try to speah;
All told thy doom, felt it at my heart,
The shaft had struck knew that we must part
And we have parted, MARY-thou art gone!
Gone in thine innocence, understanding one.
Thy weary spirit breahed itself to sleep
So peacefully, it seemed a sin to weep,
In those fond watchers who around thee STOOD
And felt even then, that God was greatly good
Like stars that struggle through the clouds of night
Thine ewes one mo nent caught glorious light
As if to thee, in that dread hour, 'twere given
To know on earth what faith believes of Heaven;
Then like tired breezes dds thou sink to rest,
Nor one, one pang the awful change confessed.
Death stole in sofness DER that lovely face,
And touched each feature with newborn grace;
On cheek and brow unearthly beauty lay,
And told that life's poor cares had passed away.
In my last hour be Heaven so kind 10 me,
ask than this-to die like thee
But we have parted, MARY-thou art dead!
On its last rcsting-place laid thy head
Then by the cofin-sde knelt down, and took
brothers. farewell kiss and farewell look.
Those marble lips no kindred kiss returned;
From those yelled orbs glance responsive burned
All then felt that thou hadst passed away,
That the sweet face gazed on was but clay;
And then came Memory, with her busy throng
Of tender images, forgotten long;
Years hurried back, and as they swiftly rolled,
! saw thee-heard thee, as in days of old;
Sad and more sad each sacred feeling grew,
Manhood moved, and sorrow claimed her due;
Thick thick and fast the burning tear-drops started,
! turned away-and felt that we had parted,
But not forever-in the silent tomb
Where thou art laid, thy kindred shall find room;
little while-a few short years of pain,
And, one by one Wen come to thee again.
The kind old Father shall seek out the place,
And rest with thee, the youngest of his race;
The dear, dear Mother-bent with age and grief
Shall lay her head by thine, in relief
Sister and Brother, and that faithful Friend
True from the first and tender to the end
All, all, in His good tme-who placed us here,
To live, to love, to die and disappear
Shall come and make their quiet bed with thee,
Beneath the shadow of that spreading tree;
With thee to sleep, through death long, dreamless mig
With thee rise up, and bless the morning light
