time of his captivity. The effect has been
the breaking of the most obdurate hearts oil
the boys by seeing another actually endur-
ing willingly, what they have deserved TO
suffer.
A remarkable case occurred lately. a boy
whose violent temper and bad conduct had
procured his expulsion from several schools
in Paris, and was in the fair way OF becon-
ing an outlaw and a terror 10 all good people,
was received into the institution. For a time,
the novelty of the scene, the society, the oc-
equations, &c., seemed to have subdued his
temper; but at length his evil disposition
showed itself, through bis drawing a knife
on a boy with whom he had quarreled, and
stabbing him in the breast. The wound was
severe but not mortal and while the bleed
ing boy was carried to the hospital Of the
colony, the rest of the inmates were summons
ed to decide on the fate of the criminal. They
agreed at once in a sentence Of instant eXpul-
sion, without hope of re-admission. The di-
rector opposed this, and showed them that
such a course would lead the poor boy TO the
scaf1old or the galleys. He 5ade them think
Of another punishment. They fixed upon i'm
prisonment for an unlimited period. The usu-
al question was put, but no patron offered
himself, and The culpTil was marched off TO
prison.
After some days the director reminded the
boys of the case; and on the repetition of the
call, Will no one become the patron of this
unhappy youth 2 a voice was heard, Il will!'
The astonished boys looked around and saw
coming forward the very youth that had been
wounded, and who had just been discharged
from the sick ward. He went to the dun
geon and took the place of the would-be-mur-
de!er, flor had the boys physical strength
been equal to his passion, the blow must have
been fatal, both boys being only about nine
or ten years DID, and it was only after the
latter had for some time carried the ~pittance
of food TO his generous patron, and seen him
still pale and feeble from the effects of his
wound, suffering for him deprivation of light
and liberty, and Joy, that his stout heart gave
way, and he cast himself at the feet of the d.
rector, confessing and bewailing with bitter
tears the wickedness Of his heart, and express
ing the resolution TO lead a different life for
the time 10 come. Such a fact needs no COM
ment."

The Power of Love.


The following beautiful illustration Of the
power OF love over the hardest hearts will
be acceptable, aud we trust profitable to our
readers; .IE. t 1
1.-THE Colony of Petitbourg is an estab-
lishment for the reformation of juvenile Of
fenders-for instruction of abandoned chill
dren (boys) who are found without any pa
rental care, wandering in the streets of Paris.
1t is supported by voluntary contributions
The boys are taught all sorts Of outdoor and
indoor work, and have regular seasons of re-
creation. When any one commits a fault
requiring grave punishment, the whole Of the
boys are assembled, as a sort of council, to
deliberate and decide on the sort of punish
ment to be inflicted, which consists usually
Of imprisonment in a dungeon for a number
of days, and of course no participation in the
recreations of the community.
There are at present about 100 Boys in the
institution. Now here is the peculiarly Of
the discipline. After sentence is passed by
the boys, under the approval of the director,
the question is then put, Will any of you
consent to become the patron of this poor Of
fender, that is, to take his place now and sui.
fer in his room and stead, while he goes free!
And it rarely happens but that some one j;
found ready to step forward and consent tC
ransom the offender by undergoing his pun
ishment for him-ihe offender being In tina
case merely obligedt 10 act as porter in carry
ing TO his substitute in the dungeon his al
loWance Of bread aud water during all tht

selves; passion also increases the secretion
of bile. Grief weakens the strength Of the
nerves and activity Of the heart, retards the
pulse, destroys the appetite, and frequently
produces paleness, looseness of the bowels,
indigestion, and those slow and lingering
diseases that take their rise from an Interrupt
ton Of the secreting glands, and a disease of
their structure. Fear diminishes the force Of
the heart, weakens the muscular motions, re-
lakes the whole system, and, II long %conlin-
ued, causes a general sinking of the body
Excessive terror often increases for the mo-
ment the muscular strength, even to %convul-
sions; excites the pulse, interrupts the course
Of the blood, and in not a few instances has
produced sudden death. Love, hope, and
Joy, promote all the, salutary actions of the
body, gently quicken the pulse, promote cir
culation, increase the appetite, and aid the
cure Of disease. Excessive and sudden trans
ports Of Joy, however, often prove fatal, by
increasing the motion ofihe blood, and exeit
ing a fit of apoplexy. Shame in a peculiar
manner returns The blood in the face, as il
the veins were INSTRUCTED; when felt in an
extreme degree, In has also been known to
prove the cause OF sudden DEATH"

and Hampden slept in their bloody graves.
Cromwell's ashes had been dragged from
their resting place; for even in death the ef-
Terminate monarch hated and feared the con-
querer of Naseby and Marston Moor. He was
left alone, in aye and penury and blindness,
oppressed with the know ledge that all which
his free soul abhorred had returned upon his
beloved country. Yet the spirit of the stern
old republican remained to the last unbroken,
realizing the truth Of helanguage of his own
Samson Agonistes- i2'' .ta =
-Patience is the exercise
or Saints the trial of their foriitude,
Making them each their own dcliverer,
And victor over all rH ..
That tyranny or fortune can in6ict.'
40 True, the overwhelming curse had gone
over his country Harlotry and Atheism sat
in high places, and the : caresses of wantons
and the iests of bufioons regulated the mea-
sures of a government which had Just ability
enough to deceive, just religion enough to
persecute.' But while Milton mourned over
this disastrous change, no self-reproach was
mingled with his sorrow. To the last, he
had %siriven with the oppressor, and when con-
fined in his narrow alley a prisoner, in his
own mean dwelling, like another Pfometheus
on his rock, he still turned upon him an eye
of unsubdued defiance. Who that has read
his powerful appeal to his countrymen, when
they were on the eve Of welcoming back the
tyranny and ~nlisrule, which, at the expense
Of so much blood and treasure, had been
thrown of, can ever forget i'll How nobly
does Liberty speak through him III said
he, we welcome back a monarchy, it will be
the triumph of all tyrants hereafter, over any
people who shall resist oppression, and their
song shall then be to others, : How sped the
rebellious English ?'-but to posterity, How
sped the rebels your fathersr How solemn
and awful is his closing paragraph! What
have spoken is the language of that which
is not called amiss, The Good Old Cause
If it seem strange to any, it will not, | hope,
seem more strange than convicting 10 back
This much | could have said, though
] were sure | should have spoken only to
trees and stones, and had none to cry to but

very soil itself what its perversc inhabitants
are deaf to; nay, though what | have spoken
should prove true (Which Thou suffer not
who didst make mankind free! nor Thou
