moved from the ground, after the discharge of the
thirteen guns, to building hard by, he went away
and was not seen again until the firing had ended.
He was then discovered with his face buried in the
folds of the fallen flag, and in posture betokenng
the sincerest anguish. He had been a compositor
in one of the printing offices Of the village, and
had embraced the Wing cause with the ardor Pc
cular to the fervid sensbites of that bereft class
Of persons. When the emb em of his faith was no
longer to be seen floating in the mid-air, there
no need of him at the meeting. The booming can
non pealed Its thunders in vain-such things could
neither assuage nor aggravate bis grief Nor could
the coincidence of friends reach his bruised spirit.
The consolation OF interchanging words of COM
fort with his brethren, was denied him by nature.
He could only follow the symbol of his creed,
speeches. like himself and fallen as were the
hopes that erewhile warmed his bosom with the
glow of Joyous expectation. When he raised his
head from the flag, tears were coming down his
cheeks and his eyes were dim with weeping. IL
was the only mode that misfortune had left him to
throw off the pressure from his heart. Wing or
Locofoco were alike affected by this touching spec
tacle of sorrow. Nor did any one seek to disturb
him in any way The citizens dispersed each to
his own home, and whether it was from sympathy
for fellow being despoed by nature Of the most
important attributes of man, or proneness Of the
heart to parake of the woe that is without guile,
many a sturdy Locofoco and stalwart Wing brush
ed away the dew that had gathered upon their eye
lids, they ponderod upon the speechless grief Of
the sorrow-stricken mute.

LANDING OF THE PILGRIMS.

The graphic description given by Mr.. Barnes of
the manner in which they spent their first Sabbath
in America affords striking illustration of their
character In his eloquent discourse at Worcester,
he says:
"The 'Mayhower,' a name now immortal, had
crossed the ocean. 1t had borne its hundred pas
sengers over the vast deep, and after perous
voyage, it had reached the bleak shores of New
England in the beginning of winter The spot
which was to furnish home and burial place
was now to be selected: The shallop was unship-
ped but needed REPAIRS and sixteen weary days
elapsed before it was ready for service Among
ice and snow, it then sent out, with some half
dozen Pilgrims, to find suitable place where to
land. The spray of the sea, says. the historian,
froze them, and made their clothes like coats of
iron. Five days they wandered about, searching
in vain for q suitable landing place. storm came
on, the snow and rain fell the sea swelled; the
rudder broke the mast and the sail fell overheard.
In this storm and cold, without tent, house, or
4 the shelter of rock, the Christian Sabbath APP
preached the day which they regarded as holy
unto Coda day on which they were not TO do a
ny work. What should be done? As the evening
before the Sabbath drew on, they pushed over the
surf, entered fair sound, sheltered themselves
under the lea of rise of land, kindled fire. and
on that island they spent the day in the solemn
worship of their Maker On the next day their
feet touched the rock now sacred as the place of
4 the landing of the Pilgrims. Nothing more stri-
kingly marks the character of this people than this
act. The whole scene-the cold winter-the ra-
ging seattle driving snow-the houseless, home
less isand-the families of wives and children in
the distance weary withther voyage and impatient
, to land-and yet, the sacred observance of day
which they kept from principle and not from mere
feeling or because it was form of religion shows
, how deeply mbedded true religion is in the soul
and how little it is affected by Surrounding difficult
| ties"
December % was the anniversary of the day a.

I'm hyallible Remedy for Lowness of Spirits
Take one ounce of spirits of resolution and an e.
quail proportion of the oil of good conscience --in-
fuse into these table spoonful of salts of patience,
and add thereto few sprigs of plant called 9TH
ers' woes" which you will find freely growing in
every part of the garden of life but especially I'M
der the broad leaves of shadowy herb called dis
guise. Gather also a handful of the blossoms of
hope, which, being perennial, may always be OBJ
tanned; sweeten these with the balm of Providence,
and If you can procure few drops of the genuine
cordial Of true friendship it will greatly add to the
value Of the medicine. But in this one ingredient
especially be careful of counterfeits. There is
spirtuous compound, vended by one Self Interest,
which may be obtained easily enough and by which
thousands are imposed upon. The least admxture
of it with the above ingredients would infallibly
spoil the composition. Reduce the whole to an e..
ectuary by proper proportion Of conserve of con-
tent, flavor it with essence of good judgement and
regulate the quantity taken according to the vru-
lence of the disease. tried recipe and never
known to fail.

UNCLE TOBY'S LECTURE ON WATER
CRUEL,

"There's virtue in it, Jack" So said uncle To-
by, as he knocked the ashes out of his pipe, and
crossed his legs, as he always did when he began
to talk. 81 tell you there's virtue in water cruel,
my boy, and SO will you say when you have lived
as long as have. There's poetry, there's philoso-
ply, there's religion, nyour bowl, if you only take
it right. Did your mother ever bring to your cham
Der the little dish of Cruel, and watch over YOU with
all mothers tenderness, her eyes ustrous and
fearful with affection and anxiety while you were
taking it? Perhaps one dearer than life to YOU,
has smoothed down your pillow, and sustained your
aching head, while you were drinking the nourish-
ment her own hands had prepared, her soft voice.
all tremuous with love, whispering in your ear
words of encouragement and hope Have you ev-
er been sick far from home among strangers, when
you thought none cared for you? Has some one
brought you the prescribed cruel, looked at you
with an eye of interest, and spoken with voice of
sympathy? Were not that look and that voice like
tasmanc charm, to your dropping spirits And
are not such things the poetry of life, Jack p
| Wherefore dost thou take water cruel? Simply
because your outer man is sadly out of repair and
you are going post haste "to your fathers" Look
into your bowl-can you not see there, as in mir
ror reflected the instability of earthly things, that
there is nothing that abideh forever? Your health
is gone, therefore you are eating water gruel.--
What signifies this loss of health? Is it not that
you are slowly putting off the garment of flesh,
throwing aside your "eld Clothes" that you may
wear the garnture of Immortality? And what is
that but Philosophy F.? And, my boy, have you new
err thought, when with your dish of cruel before
you you were abstaining from the grosser food 9TH
ers were nartakng Of that the soul cannot live on
the sensual, earthly food, which the multitude strive
to satisfy it with-that it must have ethereal nour-
ishment, celestial food, or perish? There's religion
for you, Jack. So never despse water Cruel
There's wisdom, there's instruction in it. Il had
thousand children, I'd teach them all to love water
Cruel.

A Touching Scene We copy the following from
the New Orleans Picayune:
The Wings and Democrats of the town of Nat
chltoches agreed amongst themselves, previous to
the Presidential Election, to procure the necessary
ammunition TO fire two hundred and fifty rounds in
honor of the successful candidate. The flag stafis
Of the two parties were within few yards of one
another, and from their SUBMITS the banners of their
respective chiefs streamed in graceful dallance
with the winds of heaven. 1t was stipulated that
upon the result of the canvass being ascertaned,
national salute of thirteen guns should be fired,
when the banner of the defeated party should be
lowered to the ground; that done, the firing of the
remainder of the two hundred and fifty guns should
be resumed.
When the intelligence of Mr.. Folks election
reached Natchitoches, both parties assembled I'M
der their respective flag staffs. The firing was be-
gun, and at the thirteenth discharge the Wings
lowered the ensign of Clay and Frelinghuysen, o.
mid as profound a silence ever reigned over the
citadel Of the dead. The firing was then continu-
ed without further demonstrations on the part OF
the Democrats of an exuting character.
Amongst the Wings there was one deaf and
dumb from birth. When the Clay banner was re-
