AGLORIOUS ANECDOTE.

Frederick H., after the successful terInin-
alton of the seven years war, was ALWAYS
pleased TO see old General Won Xiethcn at his
table, and whenever there were no foreign
princes present, his appointed place was be-
side the king. On one occasion he was in
vited for Good Friday; Ziethcn excused him
sclfaS not being able, inasmuch as he made
it point TO partake of the sacrament on that
great Church festival, and desired to spend
She reminder ofthe day ia meditation.
The next time he appeared ut Sans-Souc
70 dinner, the conversation as usual assumed
an intellectual &nerry turn, &the king jocose-
~ turned it on his neighbor in these words;
- 'lTell Ziethen, how did the supper of
Good Friday agree with you:" The jevial
Tabe-guests set up a jcerng laugh but the
ancient Ziethen, after shaking his grey head
indignantly, left his chair then bowling re-
spectfilly to his majesty, he with loud aud
firm voice, thus addressed the king
"'Your majesty well knows that in war
shun no danger, and that whenever it has
been necessary, | have not hestated TO risk
my life for you and my country. The same
sentiment animates me still, and this very
day, if you command, will suffer my hoary
head to be cut off, aud Loyalty laid at your
feet. But there is One above who is more
than you, and |, and all mankind; and that
one is the Savior and Redeemer ofthe world,
who died for all, having purchased us by his
precious blood.
" Il will, therefore, not submit to have the
Holy One, on whom my faith reposes-who
is my cOnsolation'in lifc,and hope after death,
TO be attacked and derided. In the strength
ofthis faith your brave army courageously
fought and conquered; if it is your majesty's
pleasure to undermine this faith, then does
your majesty lend hand to undermine the
States welfare What have said is true
receive it graciouslyn
"The king was visibly agitated by this
speech. He stood up-offered his right hand
to the brave old Christian General-put his
LEFT hand upon his shoulder, and said with e.
motion-'Happy Ziethen! would that could
believe as you do! have respect for your
faith-hold fast to it; what has occurred shall
never happen again."

This is the place. Stand still, my steed
Let me review the scene,
And summon from the Shadowy Past,
The forms that once have been.
The Past and Present rcunite
Beneath times flowing tide,
Like footprints hidden by u brook,
But seen OH either side.
Here runs the highway to the town,
There the green lane descends,
Through which walked To church with thee
OH gentlest oflny friends
The shadow ofthe linden trees
Lay moving on the grass;
Between them and The moving boughs,
shadow thou didst pass.
Thy dress was like the lilies,
And thy heart as pure as theyj
One Of Gods holy angels
Did walk with me thai day.
I saw the branches of the trees,
Bend down thy touch to meet,
The clover blossoms in the grass
Rise up to kiss thy feet
~'Sleep, sleep to-day tormenting cares,
Ofearth and folly born!"
So!emnly sang the village choir,
On that sweet Sabbath morn.
Through the closed blinds, the golden sun
Poured in "A dusty beam,
Like the celestial ladder
Or the ancient patriarch's dream.
And ever and anon the wind,
Sweet-scented with the hay,
Turned DER the hymn-booE's duttering leaves
That Oh the window lay.
Long was the good mans sermon,
But it seemed not so to me,
For he spake ofRuth the beautiful,
And still thought OF thee
Long was the prayer he uttered,
But it seemed not so to me,
For in my heart prayed with him,
But still | thought ofthee.
But now, alas, the place seems changcd
Thou art no longer here;
Part of the sunshine of the scene
With thee did disappear
Though thoughts deep rooted in my heart,
Like pine trees dark and high,
Subdue the light Of noon, and breathe
4 low and ceaseless sigh;
This memory brightens DER the Past,
AS when the sun concealed
Behind some cloud that near us hangs
Shines Oh distant field.

Let them be well dried; let them be pack

was stated one third of the potato crop was

"LevE-U MON" The Christians relations
all around to the intelligent universe are re-
lations of love. He has been renewed in
the spirit of his mind, after the image of him
who created him-he is like God in holy
love, as he cries, "Abba, Fatherw The bond
that unites him to his Savior is "faith that
worketh by love-" And the same likeness to
God that brings him into ''love-uniOn" las
Howe expresses it) with the Father and the
Son, brings him into the same union also
with his brethren. Gle that loveth him that
begat, loveth him also that is begotten ofhim
Towards the world without, between whom
and himself there can be no complacential
love, he feels the love ola benevolent compass
sion. He labors, and prays, and suffers for
their salvation because "the love of Christ
constraineth" him. All around it is love-
pure heavenly love- Ohio Observer. ..#..

THE TWO PLANS OF REFORM.

The worldly plan is to cudgel off the bad
fruit with loud vociferations-the Christian
plan to dig up by the roots the bad tree, and
the younger it is taken, and the more quickly
it is done, the better. What is this bad tree?
Is it the outward acts of "adultery, fornica-
tons, murders, thefts, ceveteousness, wicked
ness, deceit, lasciousness, envy, 'blasphemy,
pride, foolishness?" No; but the eua heart
whence these proceed. 1t is forthis reason

Capt. Ryder, Of tho Qtho, from Port Prayn,
has furnished us with Alonrovia papers to
Dec. 10, and a Circular trom the Methods,
Missionaries at Monrovia, dated Dec. l7th.
The Circular gives the particulars Of the
capture Of the bark Pons, Of Philadelphia,
with 300 slaves, on the LIST Of December. by
The u. s. ship Yorktown, Capt. Bell, in lat.
3 south, 3 days out from Cubenda. bound to
Rio Janeiro. When the Pons was FIRST seen :,
she raised american colors, supposing the
Yorktown was British cruiser; but discov-
eriDg the mistake, Immediately hoisted the
Portuguese flag. On boarding her, and
demanding her papers of the Portuguese
captain, he replied, Z" have thrown them
overheard" On being asked what was his
cargo, he said I" about 900 slaves" On
farther examination il was found that she had
shipped 9l3, between the nges of 8 aud 30,
only AZ OF them females and left at the fac
tory or 500 more. which they had intended
10 have taken III the same vessel, but were
prevented by the proximity of n British
cruiser, from which they narrowly escaped.
The Pons was put under the charge of Lieut..
Cogdell, and was il days in getting up to
Monrovia. during which time about JaQ Of
the poor wretches dled-some Of them Jump
ing overheard in u fit Of desperution--and on
her arrival at Monrovia, several of the slaves
were in a dying state, and many were so
emaciated that their skin literally cleavcd To
their bones, and the stencil of the crowded
hold was almost sutfocatlng.
The recaptured slaves we're landed at
Monroyia, and measures were adopted for
taking care of them, by The U. S. Agent for
Liberated Airicans-300 Of them by the
Methodist Mission establishment there, who
have issued n Circular, appealing to the
Christian public for aid.
The Pons Ind sailed tor the United States,
(supposed for Philadelphia under charge Of
Lieut.. Cogdell.
a letter from one Of the Methodist Mission
aries gives horrid account of the sufferngs
of the slaves, and says it is utterly impossible
for language to convey all appropriate idea
Of the horrors Of their si,unllon-the living
aud the dying were huddled together with
less care than is bestowed upon the brute

of nudity, aud many had worn their SKIN
through, producing putrid ulcers, which fed

mony was performed in the United Pres

was preached by the Rev. MIR. Stiles, The

preacher strongly reproba,ed the indul-

political discussions are generally con-
Quoted, aud the resort to the "code Of
honor" for settlement Of personal differ
ences. But he spoke of mitigating
circumst tances" in The case under review,

tho onus to great extent upon the COM
munily which tolerated such combats
Referring TO the last moments Of Mr..
Pleasan,s, he observed that it was not
his business to dcscant upon the personal
qualities and character of the deceased.
These were known at home aud
throughout, Virginia and The nation
But it had been the speakers privilege
to be with him in his last moments, and
he was able to say that he cicd in full
belief Of the truth of the Christian relig-
iuu. At this period Of the discourse, the
speaker depicted, in the most touching
terms, the final interview between the
vencrable mother aud the dying son. -
AS she approached his bedside, his head
being turned the other wny, she asked
,f he ancw her. Fixing his eyes upon
her, bcaning with affection, he cxrlniiD-
ed with great cmo.ion, Oh yes the
