An ARMY OF CHILDREN children ma

An ARMY OF CnILDRES.-As children natu-
rally initiate the actions and manners Of adults
about them, when the crusades were the theme
ofevery tongue they often wished to become
pilgrims and knights errant-ln the year 1912
many thousands of boys and girls abandoned
their homes, not only in France, but in Germa-
ny and Italy, giving out that they were bent up
on delivering the Holy Land The eldest were
not more than eighteen 1t was in vain that
their parents attempted to restrain them. They
watched opportunities Of escape, and got away
by making holes in the walls ; and sailed forth
from the paternal mansion with as much joy as
if they had been going to a festival. The fate
ofthese unhappy children, as may be supposed
was unfortunate they were entrapped in num-
bers by merchants of Venice, Genoa, and Mar
seiles, who were at that time engaged in the
Infamous traffic of supplying the seraglos of
the East with children. A great many were
shipped in the Mediterranean ports, and many
died of hunger and fatigue in the long journies
to which they had voluntarily devoted them
selves, but for which their strength was utterly
inadequate.

Throw away the last new novel, (says
view.) Go with me through these dark lanes,
blind courts, into the damp cellars and fa-
misEed garrets, where poverty, vice, and crime
are crowded together, layer upon layer, where
breeds the corruption that pollutes our moral
atmosphere. Here, my friend, is volume that
may excite you-here is work which you
may read. Forget your luxury; forget your
luxurious ease; blush for your repinngs, your
sentimental whimperings, your vapours and in
digestion, and remember that you are men and
women, and that it i. our business to make this
earth paradise, and every human heart meet
temple for the living God.

CLEvINoER, THE SCuI ProR AND HIS WIFE
a foreign correspondent of the Ohio State Jour
nal gives the following
81 never in my life became acquainted with
a more interesting family than that of Mr.. Gle
vnger, Sculptor. Clevinger and his wife are
both natives of Ohio. He WAS, believe, for
several years common stone-cutter and per.
haps if he had not been placed to that very bu-
sness, the fire Of his genius would never have
been kindled, and the noble art of sculpture
would have been deprived Of the brightest lus-
tire which that genius s shedding upon it. 1t
is said that there is no native artist living who
models Nature with more accuracy and spirit
than he, and believe there can be no one more
determined to build upa name and reputation
that shall live after him. His wife is "a am
bilious and enthusias'i ic rs he, and is in all res
poets Just such wife as such an artis, should
have. She s pretty. klnd.hesrted and intelli.

This worll Of ours, il free from sin,
Oh would il NOT he fair
Sunshine above, and flo wers beneath,
And beauty everywhere
The air. the earth, the waters TEEN
With living things at PLAY;
Glad Nature from an hundrcd throats
Pours her rejoicing lay.
Each halmy hreCze that wanlcrs Ivy,
Whispers soma angel tone;
And tho cleh fountains have a voice
Of music all their own
Even the leaves Of the forest trees,
Moved by the Zephyr's wing,
Make low murmur Of content
To little birds that sing.
The busy bees, DER garden flowers,
A holy song attune,
Joining with never>tiring mirlh,
The mins,relsy Of June;
And the great waves upon the deep,
Lcaping like G ants free,
Add. in their hollow monotone,
The chorus Of the sea.
There's beauty in the summer sky,
" hen from the ocean bed.
Like strong man reiresh'd Ivy sleep,
The Sun uplifs hi head
And when behind the western rocks
At eventide he goes,
How h,autious are the crimson clouds
That curtain his reposc!
Are not the assy valleys fair,
Deck'd IN their spring array
And the high hills with forest clad,
How beautiful are they
Look on the .ea. that pirdle vat.
Wherewith the earh is bound
Even in fancy's widest dreams
Can sught more glad he found
Oh 'twere indeed a radiant world,
A paradise comp.e.e-
So reJolent of lovely things,
So filled with voices sweet
IfSn had not in evil hour
En,ered this pleasant cline,

M,RRIAGr.-Ma Marriage is mystery. Mar
riage is lottery. Marriage is very like u
whale" and very likely to introduce you among
"sca Of troubles" A respected contempora-
ry observes that marriage sis like silk purse
most agreeable 10 bear when there is plenty in
it," Marriage is like mousetrap-once get
in, and you are caught, without the least pros
pect Of recovering your liberty. Marriage is
like ''roSe tree in full bearlng'-how attrac-
tive are It's flowers but the bright leaves fall
after a season, and the thorns alone remain.
Marriage among fools is like boiled calt's head
without the accompaniment OF brains. Mar
rage is like roast leg of mutton on Sunday,
served up cold Oh Monday, ditto with pickles oil
Tuesday, and hashed up on "Wednesday. In
short, marriage is mixture, and you can hard
ly taste the sweets without lmbibing some por'
ton of the sour.
