" Resist Not Evil"

Most people, and, am sorry to say it, great

course is not consistent with personal safety

fessed disciples of the Prince of Peace

in search of Capt. Ross, he fell in with band of
Esquimaux, who had never before seen white

the strangers head but when Capt. Back APP
preached calmly and unarmed, the spear drop
ped, and the rude savage gladly welcomed the
brother man who had trusted in him. Had Capt
Back adopted the usual maxim that it is neces-
sary to carry arms in such emergencies, he would
probably have occasoned his own death, and that

long since laid aside all menacing apparatus what

A Way to SpOiI a Chill,

Above all mistakes is TINT Of supposing th7t
the better nature Of the child is to he drawn out
and raised into the strength we should desire to
see in the man. by making him pass through a
cold and cherries youth. The very contrary
is the case, A system Of petty restraints, and
privations, of severe looks and incesslnt child
ings, only results in depraving the feeling and
perverting the reason of young person. He is,
in such circumstances, entirely out of harmony
with nature He is like flower, which requires
light and warmth, placed in cold cellar, where
it never can acquire its proper proportions, OF
color, or vigor. 1t is quite impossible that a
child so treated can never attain to the proper
characteristics OF a well constituted man or wo

Santa Anna.
BY REV. ]. s. C. ABBOTT.
Concluded from last meek. |

Santa Anna has many faults of character
How few are there in any station of life who
have not How few are there of our own public
characters who are model men Santa Annals
defects of character are those which belong to a
Spanish soldier, bred amid the vices of the camp
1t is said and probably with truth, that he is ad-
dicted to gambling, and is fond of cock fighting g.
loves money. But that with these defects, he has
many magnanmous traits the following incidents
abundantly testify.
Waddy Thompson, late Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenpotentiary Of the United States
at Mexico, in his interesting volume entitled
Recoections of Mexico" vouches for the
truth of all these statements. Among the pris-
oners taken at Mier," Il quote the words of Mr.
Thompson was a very shrewd and handsome
boy, of about fifteen years of age, John Hill
On their arrival in Mexico, the boy was not close
ly confined as the other prisoners were, and he
came to see me, and requested that | would ask
the President to release him. | told him to &C
himself, and was sure that Santa Anna would
be more apt to do it on his own account than Oh
mine.
A few days afterwards, the little fellow re-
turned to my house very handsomely dressed
and told me the following account of what hac
passed between himself and the President
When he requested Santa Anna to release him
the latter replied, why, if do, you will come
back and fight me again. The Santa Fe pris
oners were released on their parole of honor
not to bear arms again against Mexico, and i
was not three months before half of them hat
invaded the country again; and they tell mi
that you killed several OF my Mexicans at Mier.
The little fellow replied that he did not know
how many he had killed, but that he had fire.

To Autumn.

Season Of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom friend of the maturing sun;
Conspirng with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves
run;
To bend with apples the messed cottage trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the ground and plump the hazel shells
With sweet kernel to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has DER brimmed their clammy
cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes, whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lilted by the winnowing wind;
Or on holf-reaped furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fumes of peoples, while they
hook
Spares the next swarth and all its twined
flowers;
And sometimes like cleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across brook;
Or by a cder-press, with patient look
Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours.
Where are the songs offspring? Ay, where are they?
Think not Of them; thou hast thy music too,
While barred clouds bloom the soit-dying day.
And touch the stubbled-plans with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river -sallows, borna aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud beat from billy bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing and now with treble soft
The redbreast whistles from garden croft,
And gathering swallows twitter from the skies

when the order for the Liberation of the prison.
ers was issued, it was received with acclamations
which extended from the troops through the
whole assemblage. Not an insult was offered to
these men who had invaded their country. But
words OF kindness and good will greeted them
on every side. Crowds gathered around them,
congratulating them, shaking hands with them,
and exclaiming My friend, my friend" The
Mexican officers tossed money to them as they
passed through the crowd, and one poor man
pulled off his own blanket, and gave it to Tex
an who was more ragged than himself; and wo-
men ran from their shops as the liberated cap
tves passed along, and offered them bread and
other articles.
These are the men, affectlonate and ,timd,
among whose wives and children we are scatter
ing bomb-shells How can such people stand
in battle array before the desperadoes gathered
IN the United States for war Of invasion They
must flee like the Aocks in the pasture before the
bloodhound. War with Mexico is not war; it is
massacre; it is a strong race demolishing fee
Bile one; it is full grown man wreaking his VEN
geance on a child.
4 do not think, says Waddy Thompson, that
the Mexican men have much more strength than
| our women They are generally of diminutve
stature, and wholly unaccustomed to labor or
exercise of any sort. What must be the MUIR
derous inequality between a corps of American
cavalry and an equal number of Mexicans! The
American corps, from the superior size of their
horses, would cover twice as much ground, and
the obstruction offered by the Mexicans on their
small and scrawny ponies, would scarcely cause
their horses to stumble in riding over them, to
say nothing of the greater inequality Of the men
themselves; five to one at least in individual
combats, and twice that in battle
Edmund Burke estimates that more than fifty
times the present population of the globe have
persisted on the field of battle One would think
that by this time man would be weary of the mas
slcre of his feIow-man. 1t is indeed to be de
plored that it is not SO, and that at this enighten
ed period ofthe world Christian Americans car
be continuing the slaughter Our countrymen
with bloody swords are still trayersing thousand
Of miles to invade the homes of others, and tt
hew down their felow-men But the voice o
our brothers blood calls to God from the grounc
and sooner or later an avenging arm will be rails
ed for punishment.

ERRING BROTHER Would you throw brick
bat to friend that has fallen overheard? Would
you gather stones and pile them on the bank that
had fallen on brother! Would you throw a
key of powder to the person that had fallen into
the fret Then why heap words of reproach up
on him who has erred from the path of duty .
Why denounce him and spurn him from your
presence! Can you be stranger to the human
heart,-you who have so often fallen! Shame
on you-shame
He cannot know the human heart,
Who, when weaker brother errs,
Instead of acting Mercys part,
Each base, malignant passion strs.
Harsh words and epithets but PROVE
That himself is in the wrong
That first he needs brothers love
To nerve his heart and guide his tongue.
