Moral C'Ourage.
2 "a uiriue, and ereat as q IA rare.

i rare Virtue, and great as il ia rare.
We remember when we thought the cour-
age Of the field every thing. The chal re-
tho word Of command-high-soundinr and
clear amid the battles fury-the clash of
arms--the roar Of artillery-the thrill of the
bugle's note, as with more than magic sound.
it bids the soldier dare all for victory-the
banner OF your country in front-planted there
to stand amid victory or defeat-oh! how
young hearts beat to be actors in such a scene,
calling it glorious, and holding it noble for
brave spirits to mingle in, and fighting nobly,
TO lie down and die.
But what is the courage of the battle field
compared with the moral courage of every
day life Stand alone; see friends scowl ;
hear distrust speak Its foul suspicion; watch
enemies taking advantage Of the occasion,
laboring to destroy; who would not rather
encounter the shock of an hundred battle
fields, and lead a %forlorn hope in each, than
bear and brave these thingsl Why, the one
Is as the sumne breeze on the ocean, to win
ter's stormiest blast. Any common spirit
may summon courage to play the soldier well
use quickly fits him for it. But it requires a
MAN to speak out his thoughts as he thinks
them-tO d0-when, like that stormy blast in
winter on ocean, peace, honor, security and
life are threatened to be swept away!
Yet who, looking back on the page of his.
tory, or forward % the hope Of the future,
would hesitate which to chooses The mar
tyrs-what are ,heyl Chronicled names in
all hearts. The patriots who died for Liber-
ty, ANONYMOUSLY and on the scaffold-how
fares it with theml Cherished as eaTlh's
honored sons. The good, who spoke the
truth and suffered for its sake-where are
theyl The best and brightest first in
thought and love. And yet, what did they ?
Like men they spoke the truth that was in
them. This was their courage. If they had
been silent--if, trembling before tyrants OF
mobs, they had feared to tell what they knew,
TO speak what they felt, they would have
lived and died as other men. But they had
the moral courage to do all this, and, though
they persisted, man was blessed through theii
suffering, and truth lighted up with new glo'
ry and power.
Give US moral courage before every thing
else! 1t is the only bravery on which hu'
mainly may count for any real blessing
Give US moral courage first and last! FoI
while it nerves a man for duty, it roots on.
of his heart hate and revenge, and all bat
passion, making him wise amid danger, calm
amid excitement, just amid lawlessness, and
pure amid corruption. 1t is the browning
beauty Of manhood,-C, VI, CLAY.

A Bows Letter.

The following specimen of a boys letter
is from &" Hoods Comic Annual" There is
such a truth of character in ito much of
that spirit Of drollery, mixed with mischief,
which often prevails in the young human be-
ings of the male sex, that we cannot help de-
cldring it to be, in its own words, "capital
fun" The letter proceeds from a country
boy, to what the polite letter writer's would
call his friend in town.
Now, Bob, I'll tell you what | want-I
want you to come down here for the holi-
days. Don't be afraid. Ask your sister to
ask your mother to ask your father to let YOU
come. It's only ninety miles. The two
prentices, George and Will, are here to be
made farmers of; and brother Nick is took
home from school, to help in agriculture
We like farming very much it's capital fun.
Us four have got a gun and 90 out shooting,
it's a famous good one, and sure to 90 off il
you don't full cock it. Tiger is to be our
shooting dog, as soon as he has left off kill
ing sheep. He's a real savage, and worries
cats beautiful. Before father comes down,
We mean to bait our bull with him. There's
plenty of New Rivers about, and we're 60
ing a fishing as soon as we have mended our
top joint. We've a pony, too, to ride upon
when we can catch him but he's loose in
the ~paddocks, and has neither name nor tail
to signify to lay hold of. Isn't it prime,
Bob! You must come. Ii your mother
won't give your father leave to let you come
run away. Remember you turn up Cos
pei street to go TO Lincolnshire and ask for
Widdlefen-hall. There's a pond full of
frogs, but we won't pelt them till you come;
but let it be before Sunday, as there's our
orchard to rob, and the fruit to be gathered
on Monday. If you like sucking eggs, we
know where the hens lay, and mother don't;
and Pm bound there's lots of birds nests
Do come, Bob, and I'll show you the wasp's
nests, and everything that can make you
comfortable. | dare say you could borrow
your fathers volunteer musket of him with
out his knowing il; but be sure any how to
bring the ramrod, as we nave mislaid ours
by firing it off,"

MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE GAL.
LOWS,

Rev. Mr.. SouLE, in his excellent lecture
on the Moral Results Of Potter's Execution
brought out one point connected with Capital
Punishment in a happy manner. It was this :
If Capital Punishment has 4 good moral in
luence upon society, why arc armed soldiers
called out to preserve order among those who
crowd round the gallows during the execu.
ton
1t would seem that the good influences up
on society would be manifest at the time of
the execution, if eyer-but experience has
shown that the worst passions are excited un-
der the gallows upon which a condemned
man is dying, and j, always becomes neces.
sary TO call out armed men 10 prevent scenes
Of violence and general riot
In this connection we would ask the reason
why our Legislature was obliged 10 pass a
supplementary act providing that executions
shall be in private? If the choking a man 10
death, for crime, has a moral influence upon
society, whyn moi have the act as public as pos
si6ie, so as to give the people The benefit Of
it! But we all know the reason Of pripate
executions-tho evil tendency of public exc
cutions has been such as to force the Legis-
lature to make a law providing that they shall
