STOP THE ENGINE {!

power, with wheels innumerable, great and
small, rolling rapidly. 1t was put in motion
by steam; but at every wheel was man,

moved on, but with retarded motion. look
ed at the top of the engine, and from IT a
stream of fire shot forth ire-brands, arrows
and death, over the country. The fire-brands,
like blazing meteors, lit upon houses, setting
them on fire, and throwing the people in
dreadful CONSERVATION within. The arrows
sped their way to the hearts of women and
children; and death flashed in at the win
dows. The inhabitants cried out, and fled
from shelter to shelter. The distress in
creased, and the cry was, " Stop the engine
put out the fire Fire fire fire !! =
The engine the engine 4" The men at
the wheels said, "True the evil is great ;
but we make money by turning. 1t is very
profitable business; and if we don't turn,
somebody else will" One said, 81 cannot
stop the engine; | can only stop one wheel
But he was told if he would stop, somebody
else would stop. At length the secret was
discovered for stopping the engne-Handle

One said he was willing the engine should

BY the discoveries of modern science, the
rays of the sun are made to form the exact
portrait of him on whom they shine We
are all living in the sunlight of eternity,
which is transferring to plates more endur-
ing than brass the exact portrait of the soul
in every successive act with all its attendant
circumstances.
Interesting to the antiquarian, is the mo-
ment when he drags out from the sands of
Egypt some obelisk, on which the 'pen of
iron, and the point of diamond have gra-
ven the portraits, the attitudes, the dresses,
and the pursuits of men, who lived and died
5000 years ago. But none can utter the in
terest of that moment when from the silence
of eternity shall be brought out tablets thick
set with the soul ptured history of sinful
soul, and men and angels, with the sinner
himself, shall gaze appalled, on the faithful
portraiture of life of sin. Remember
then, oh, transgressor, you must meet the
record of your sin in eternity.-N. r.. Pu-
ritan.

THE SOLDIERS WIDOW.

I'VE take the following beautiful from the Baltimore
Methodist Protestant" We should Judge, by the
tached to the last line that the poem had reference the
widow of the lamened Colonel atson.
She weepcth all day long, and none can cheer her
All day she weepetb and the dreary night
sendeth no star-beam through the shadows her
Lendeth no voice to wake the spiit-light.
She weepeth all day ong-yet do not Chide her!
Hers is woman's heart that else might break!
She weepeth for the vacant seat beside her!
She weepeh for her orphan childrens sake,
Those lonely little tn droop in sorrow,
How lfe's sunshine will dry up their tears
But shall dawn a bright tomorrow;
oer her whose grief end but with her years
Hers glad, gay heait-and Love lay sleeping
Like rich pearl, beneath its yelling tide
o., scemd treasure in an angels keeping
When the young soldier sought her us his bride.
A noble heart beat in his youthful BOSOM
holy fifth revealed his love and truth;
She gave to him her young hearts purest ossom,
The Pussonnower of her unshudow'd youth.
oh life to them delicious day-dream-
And lovely seemd Eden, the fall;
For sweet contentment, like gentle May-beam,
Had shed its golden goty all.
The dream is now-thcir joys number'd-
Yet other hearts, alas, with anguish wiring!
For happy land, where peace had slumber'd DER,
Falls the dark shadow of the Ravens wing.
Our own proud bird, whose high and lofty soaring
Had caught the gaze of myriads from aar,
Folds his bright pumes, and bends with look deplofng
o'or the sad homes made desolate by WAR!
Oh! many youthful brow lies pale and gory-
And many noble heart hath passed away
Yet shall find brighter page in story
Than Hes who fell at bloody Monterey!

THE PEN OF IRON.
BOLD STROKES OF TRUTH

WHEN Bishop Latimer was on his trial,
he at first answered carelessly. But pres
emily he heard the pen going behind the tap
estry, which was taking down his Words
Then he was careful what he said There
is an All-recording pen behind the curtain
of the skies, taking down our words and
acts for judgment.
1t is pen of iron. "The sin of Judah
is written with pen of iron, and the point
of a diamond" 1t graves deep its records
on the imperishable tablets of eternity--a
record of every thought, word and act. How
ought we to live, since we can almost hear
the all-recordingpen going every hour, since
we know that every day we are filling apage
in the books that shall be opened at the
Judgment, and the record is imperishable as

A rich landlord in England once perform
ed an act of tyrannical injustice to a wild

it, became "A painter, and years after sue
ceeded in placing painting of that scene
where the oppressor saw it. As his eye fell
on the picture, the rich man turned pale
and trembled, and offered any sum to pur-
chase it, that he might put it out of sight
If every scene of wickedness through which
a man passes, should be painted, and the

the evil passions expressed on his counten'

An Excellent Schoolmaster.

the operation on an extended scale, is Civ
EN- in an exchange paper:

fering with vengeance, and turning out a
schoomaster for committing enormties, in
the way of illustrating lessons. 1t appears
that he had enlisted the feelings of pupils in
Natural Philosophy, and tried to get some
apparatus, but was told to do the teaching
and leave the nonsense. But nothing daun-
ted, he got some apparatus himself and told
the boys if they would bring him mouse
or two the next day, he would show them the
effects of nitrogen gas upon them. The
next day came the Committee to reprove
him, because, forsooth, the boys in their ca
gerness to learn, had been up all night try.

committed a more atrocious crime-tor be-

middle for the Sun, told him now to turn
round slowly upon his axis as the Sun did;
then he placed little fellow for Mercury

of Planets around him, each boy keeping IN
his proper distance from the centre, trotting
with the proper velocity in his orbit and
whrling round in due proportion as he per-
formed his revolution. 1t must have been a
rare sight, and lesson which the boys re.

Although the number the sick repor, has not

report is current that one of our Dragons was
killed last evening within two miles of town by

very much TO be regretted-and by none more than
the MeXlcans themselves--for most dearly are they
