WANT OF TIME.

It's very customary for persons to
apologize for omissions of duty by plead
ing want of time. They promise them
selves that at future day they will have
more leisure, and therefore postpone"to a
more convenient season"what should be
done at once. There are few indivdu-
ais who have not been guilty ofthis censu.
rable procrastination. We have known
those who had furnished themselves with
valuable books, and yet never read vol
ume-for want of time. But those same
men we have seen idle for hours together.

time. All men who have attained distinc-
ton have had to labor diligently in their
vocation. The munster who has no time
to study his subject, will fail to impart in
struction-and the attorney who alleges

his case, will not be overburthened with
business. In all concerns of life. prompt
action is essential to success. The black
smith who pauses between the strokes Of
his hammer to talk politics, will find his
iron cool, and will soon want time to pay
his debts. 1t would surprise any man to
have the amount of time which he has
wilfully lost summed up; but then, what
we lose to day we resolve to make up to-
morrow; but unfortunately the morrow
brings itsexcusc for further postponement.

misfortune can generally be -racedsoour
own negligence or imprudence, Ayouth
will spend hours in an oyster house or
tavern in unimproving conversation, and
yet complain that he can find no time to
cultivate his mind. Men from the most
INDECENT condition have risen to wealth
and importance by the proper use of time
and their own energies; and what one has
achieved can be done by another in most
cases. Man cannot remain stationary;
but must either advance or retrogade; and
idlenes is the first backward step; for an
idle man can never advance. Its of the
greatest importance then, to be constantly
occupied, mentally or physically. 1t is
in vain that the young promise themselves,
that in after life they will make up for the
deficiencies Of their youth. They might
as well expect to reap without sowing
The disposition to procrastinate in youth,
will scarcely be corrected by age, when
time seems to fly with increased velocity
He who is slothlul when young, will be
ragged when old, and such have the poor
house as their portion. 1t is great mis-
take to suppose that lost time can be re-
covered, for the useful improvement of
every moment ofour time isa duty. We
do not mean that men shall be geared up
like horses, and never be relieved from
harness. Relaxation is as necessary as
labor, and it can be indulged in without
losing time.

NARRATIVE OF SERGEANT
EVERHEART.

x,AseRAPoPTHEA REVOLUTION.
IshaHes often heard 1t said that the men
of the revolution were peculiar class.
One thing is. evident, they were eminently
fitted for the work which providence had
assigned them. They1are now nearly ex-
tinct, and many of5the interesting facts
which occurred in their eventful history
have passed away. Could the facts
touching their noble bearing and personal
bravery be gathered up, and thrown into
a separate volume, succeeding generations
would read it with profitable delight
Every attempt to rescue from oblivion, in
teresting passages of those times, should
be encouraged.
The writer of this sketch was we'll ac-
quainted with Sergeant Everheart. have
ridden with him, and marked the superb
ority of his horsemanship. | have con-
versed with him, and noticed the strong
vein of common sense which ran through
his remarks. He was German, rather
above the ordinary size, and seemed form
ed for strength and activity. When |
knew him, he was truly pious local min
ister of the Methodist Episcopal Church;
and such he lived and died.
The substance of what / am about to
relate was communicated to brother
minister by Father Everheart himself; and
from him received it. / think, from the
impression made on my mind, that the
facts may be safely relied upon as SUBJ
stantially correct.
The Seargentb belonged to Col. Washing
toms troop of horse; and brauer man
never backed a steed or drew sword in
the cause ofl,be,ty. In an enterprise that
required despatch he was usually select
ed; and riding horse of noble powers,
his common course was to dart into the
thickest of the fight, fearless alike of limb,
and oflife. He had received seventeersa-
bre wounds; and these were the shining
marks of his valorous deeds.
The incident which lam about to relate
took place in recounter between TurL-
ton and Washington. On the evening of
the day before the battle, Col. Washington
and others of his staff were seen examn-
ing with critical exactness the circumia-
cent grounds. They were in council, and
for the worst; for the British ar
my was not far distant; and contest was
anticipated.
After the officers had dispersed, Col.
Washington rode up to his brave troop, &
calling Sergeant Everheart by name,
to him the following facts
and orders. Sergeant, we have learned
good authority that the enemy
intends making an attack upon us before
day in the morning. Now wish you to
select seventeen men and takeyour station
at the blacksmith shop on the main road.
and do your bestto throw theirvan guard
into confusion. Keep them back If you
can until day daWns, and we Shallbe ready ]

being determined to introduce himself as
the officer had failed 10 do So. I'arlton7
seemed diverted at his spunk, and iooking s
the Sergeant in the face, asked Do yoit.
think that Washington willsfght ne?r
This was almost too much to Be borne; he
put his arms a kimbo, and giving the Col
a glance OF his eye, now fred with indig-
nation, he replied with peculiar emphasis.
"Ffght you, SIR: fgt you, sirg' making q
significant pause, and tossing up his head. !.
..Would you fight me? was the next ques.
ton. Quick as thought he answered,
"mine Got giue memile sord, and I fssl.t
you nou." - --..,-.'-.. - -
Soon after thisinterview the battle COM:
menced. The American horse with an
enthusiasm that the love2of liberty alone
can inspire, presently turnedthe fate Of The.
day. Clouds of dust were seen rising at
a distance. The Sergeant and his atten-{
dant were sitting on large log, which had
fallen across the road, when the question:
was asked. "What does all that meant. e
"Mean," said Everheart, Why 1t means
Washington is gi6iin 1t to him, and I am !
glat ofI." Down they came like tRes
rush of tornado, andas they 3nsared the
spot where the two were sitting off,
Ger remarked, 1--WE must get up q q ERlsYaa
will beoverus." You may, if you cheoseys
but / shant." Finally, the Sergeant was
left alone, his keeper having fled for safety.
1t was manifest they would be over the :
log, but Everheart had formed his plane
which was to lay himselflengthwise under
its projecting side so that they might pass
over him, without observing, or doing
injury. Itso happened that some one !
dropped a pistol near the spot offhe Ser.
geant's retreat, extended bis hand and
seized it; but did not know Bhetherit was
loaded or not. Just at that moment d.
British horseman rode up to ,helog. Tho ]
Sergeant started up from his horizontal
position, and pointing the pistol atzhis
breast, cried. out, "tilliuer, or you are had
man."-No sooner said than done: stheS
;horseman dismounted, yielding his place.
to the Sergeant, who rode in triumph, and:ss3
joined his fellows, and then fought the bait
tie out. sSsasSsss
This soldier Of the revolution, finally,
became soldier of the cross; and having
settled in Middletown Valley, Nd. he !;
there spent the balance of his days. The
last time saw him, was at a Camp Meet.
ing, not far from hisresidence. He VAS
Old and feeble, but happy in God 9kiss
Redeemer. Once, and only once during
our exercises, did he attempt to ofieiate. !
When he rose in the stand every eye was
upon him, and having delivered his mes
sage with feeble and tremulous voice, he;
took his seat, leaving nearly the whole au,.s
dience in tears. 1t is pleasautfor me to-
think oftorner associations It isspleas;
santer still to contemplate the period dN|aee

POETRY.
From the Madisonian.
MARGARET DAVIDSON.


The following beautiful and touching lines wer
written by Miss MARGARET DAVIDSON of Saratoga
4 short time before her death. After she had bee
informed; that cotsultation of physicians had pro
nonnced her caso TO be hopeless, and that she cou
! not live much longer, her mother one day sitting
sby her side, took her trembling, wasted hand, an
said 70 her in a low, half stiaed voice. " Oh, Mag
gy.sshail never have another line penned by thl
dear hand?"
ayes dearcs, mother was the reply, '.ycs, yo
shall have another and, in day or SO, she hand
ssd to her mother the following stanzas, the last sh
eyer wrote:
Z Oh mother! would the power were mine,
2 To wake the strains thou lovst to hear,
s.sAnd breathe each trembling new born thought
q Within thy fondly listning ear,
z. AS when in days of health and glee,
: aNiy hopes and fancies wandeTd free!
Is But, mother, now a shade hath past
Athwart my brightest visions here;
A cloud Of darkest gloom has wrapt
The remnant of my brief career;
No song-no echo can l win -
The sparkling founthath dried within!
The torch of earthly hope burns dim'
And fancy spreads her wing no more;
And oh, how vain and trivial seem
The pleasures that priced before ..
r NV soul with trembling steps and Slow
Il struggling on through doubt and strife;
Oh! may it provo as time rolls on
The pathway to eternal life!
Then when my cares and fears are o'er'
iii sing thee as in "days Of yore."
/ said that hope had passed from Garth
Twas but 10 fold her wings in heaven,
To whisper of the souls new BIRTH
OF sinners saved, and sins forgiven;
When mine are washed in tears away,
Then shall my spirit swell my lay.
sStsWhen God shall guide my soul above
With the soft chords of heavenly love,
- When the vain cares of earth depart,
And tuneful voices swell my heart,
Then shall each word, each note raise'
Burst forth in pea!ing hymns of praise
And all--no: offered at His shrine,
IS, Dear nothcr-I will place on thine!

meath the genial sun of Freedom, that
YOU don't like to bend in submission to the
gale, nor allow storm to pass by with
sout grumblng, fretting and scolding a.

mo business to throw astraw in your way,

now you wouldn't be satisfied if you were
let loose in the -boundless paradise of

plunder and destroy, No-you would
complain, because the rose bore thorns.
peaches had stones, and apples contained
cores. There is no such thing as filling
