AN ENEMY,S COURTESY.

When the crusaders, under King Richard
of England, defeated the Saracens, the Sui
tan, seeing his troops fly, asked what was
the number of the Christians who were ma
king all this slaughter? He was told that
it was only King Richard and his men, and
that they were all on foot. "Then." said
the Sultan, "God forbid that such noble
fellow as King Richard should march on
foot" and sent him noble charger. The
messenger took il, aud said: "Sire, the Sui
tan sends you this charger, that you may
not be ON foot" The king was as cunning
as his enemy, and ordered one of his squires
to mount the horse in order to try him. The
squire obeyed; but the animal proved fiery !;
and the squire being unable to hold him in,
he set off at full speed to the Sul.an's pavil
ion. The Sultan expected he had got King
Richard, and was not a little mortified to
discover his mistake.

A NOBLE SOLDIER.

Major Love of the Ohio Volunteers, wri-
ting home, relates the following incident of
Capt. Patterson, of Belmont county. Ii
will recall the heroic expression of Old Dick
Johnson tc his brother James al the battle
Of the Thames. "Brnher, you have a wife
and family.-I am SINGLE will lead the
left wing Of the regiment against the In.
dianS."
1--WE have Capt John Patterson in our
regiment from Belmont county, who is as
noble man as ever lived. Capt. Patterson
was toe sick to travel, and was at New Or
leans. He started few days afterwards on
board small vessel in company with some
of the Indiana troops. The vessel was cast
ashore on Padre Island, and all expected to
be lost, as they had nothing but small boat
to go on shore with. The boat was lowered
but they could take but few in, and even
they we're in dangerous situation. Pat
tersOn was getting into the boat when one
of the Captains of one Of the Indiana com
panies addressed him thus: "Captain, if
you get on shore safe, you will inform my
family of my death and how il came about
Patterson Immediately asked if he had
family; he replied he had. Patterson told
him that he was single man, and immedi-
alely got out of the boat and made the In
diana Captain take his place, Temalking
that he would stay and sink with the vessel,
as he had no wife and children to mourn his
loss. Fortunately, however, the storm aba
ted they raised flag of distress reve-
enue cutter went to their aid and all we're sa
we'd. The vessel is still upon the bar,
suppose total loss

The Ills we leave Behind us.

Oh what's the use Of looking back
AS DER lfc's road we travel;
Or pausing for moment to
Some mystery unravel:
The better ways to go ahead
Let fortune miss or find us,
And never cast a glance upon
The ills we leave behind US.
When sickness and sore tees combine
To make us sad and weary.
We ought tokeep our spirits up,
Nor think that life is dreary;
But cast a, once from oft your souls
The chains of griet that bind US,
And bid last farewell unto
The ills we leave behind us.
This world hath pleasure for US all,
As we'll as care and sorrow,
And though the skies may weep to-day,
They may wipe up Tomorrow:
Then why should we LET present woes
OF former ones remind us!
They're past they're gone-so let's forget
The ills we leave behind us.
Then let old Time remove the stones
Where all our grieis are covered,
And brighten Memory's bird away.
Which DER them long has lowered;
For when within his fatal net
Grim Death has once entwined us,
Well cease to think Of present joys
And ills we leave behind US.

TIE GREAT WEST.

a few years has come to be an article Of i'm

begun, The peopling of the West has but
commenced; its productions are yet in their
litteness. Whatever some men ma J think
and say abont the new policy OF England
being Of no value to US, am sure is totally
without good foundation.
Nowhere in the wide world can bread
stuffs and provisions be procured at such
low prices as in our western country, and
nothing but this new policy of England
could have saved the West from being
smothered and buried in its own productions.
Home markets, important as they are, are
already gluttered, and nothing bu. the feed
ing of the millions of Europe could sustain
an,i carry on the mighty agricultural growth
of our coun ry. Beyond all doubt, in my
mind, the fee policy Of England is not on
" something, but everything to US, as il is
salvation to her. Bot TO. the foreign mar.

Think Gently Of the Erring.

Think gently of the erring!
Ye know not Of the power
With which the dark temptation came,
In some unguarded hour.
Ye may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour OF weakness came,
And sadly thus they fell.
Think gently of the erring
Oh do not thou forget,
However darkly stand BY sin,
He is thy brother vet.
Heir of the self same heritage.
Child of the seIt same God,
He hath but stumbled in the path
Thou hast in weakness trod.
Speak gently to the erring!
For 10 it not enough
That innocence and peace have gone,
Without thy censure rough?
1t sure must be weary lot,
That sin-crushed heartito bear,
And they who share happier fate,
Their chidings well may spare.
Speak kindly to the erring!
Thou Vet may'st lead them back
With holy words and tones of love,
From misery's lhorny track.
Forget not thou hast often sinn'd,
And sinful yet may st be;
Deal gently with the erring one,
AS God has dealt with thee!
