the woman continued, producing from beneath her
cloak a bandbox. broken at the edges, and only
held together by a stout cord
The pawnbroker united the cord, and emptled
the box of its contents; after examining each art

advance dollar and seventy-tive cents on the lot
The woman sighed. She wished to raise two dol
lars and fifty cents. The PawnbroSer replaced the
articles in the shattered case and tied It together
again with the cord.

The woman sighed again, took up the box, and
hiding it beneath her cloak left the shop She
stood upon the walk in front, carefully watched by

Then she turned and re-entered the shop

CHRISTIAN PERSEVERANCE

He who with hellish hatred sees
A trembling sinner on her knees,
Oft saw soul in secret bow
To God to pay her daily VOW:
Her vow that she would still improve
BY grace each day her stock Of love.
He saw, and straightway planned her fall
Prayer was her strength. support. her ALL.
BY this from God her power she had;
Defiance thus to him She babe;
Could he this simple cause remove,
Removed, or weak would be her love
In form of friend he met her first,
Who for her welfare seemed athirst
Said he "Why pray much my dear2
You'll melancholy grow l fear;
Say, w5ll not flrice a day suffice
The Dest Of men have pTdyd but twice."
But failing here, he unawares
Assumed the form Of worldly cares,
And well-nigh gained his hellish aim
Before his works betrayed his name
Sl,e now was well upon her guard
Lest lie should rob her of reward.
lie gave her wealth and luxury
To wean her from her constancy;
And often thrust into her heart
The thought tlverc well to leave in part
Her daily course Of secret prayer:
But it was daT,St, moi settled, there.
Now with adversely he came
Stript her OF III but her good name;
Told her she daily prayed so mech
She had net even time to touch
Such things as should her hours employ,
And therefore fled were wealth and Joy.

Important from Nicaragua

We have received some important intelligence
from Nicaragua. Ii comes to US in letters, dated
at the city of Grenada, Lake Nicaragua, on the
9Th ult.
According to these letters, Somoso, at the head
OF four thousand men, had assaulted tbs city of
Nicaragua, destroyed it by fire, and sacrificed the
lives OF its inhabitants. Somoso did not obtain
much wealth sy this assault; small amount only
OF gold silver, and jewelry, fell into his hands; but
the total amount Of property destroyed exceeded
two millions 1t ls not possible that all the inhabi-
tants of the city were sacrificed; some must have
escaped.
THIS terrible affair had aroused Munos who had
gathered force Of seven hundred and fifty regu
lars, with whom he was advancing to meet Some.
so, and it was expected that battle between
them, would take place on that day--the 9th ut.
The experience of Munos and the superior dis
ciplne of his troops, gives those acquainted with
the country and the people, reason to believe that
he will triumph over Somoso.
1t is stated to be the general impression in Nj
caragua, that the movements of Somoso are infu-
enced more or less by English agents.
On the 9th of June, the Nicaragua government
issued proclamation, calling all citizens, from six
teen to fifty years of age, to arms:-
Id To maintain the territorial rights Of Nicarsgua
over San Juan and its dependencies or In the lam
guags Of the proclamation, the usurpation Of Eng
land In the name of the Mosqu to King.'
1t is apparent that England means to-frighten the
Nicaraugans out Of their rights on the San Juan,
and it will he necessary for the American govern
ment to take decided stand in the matter. The
morality of her course, in melting the demi-savages
under Somoso TO act against the civilized classes
Of the State of Ncarauga, was only equalled by
her actions in our own history, when she induced
TIE savages to murder the unarmed citizens of the
United States
The above intelligence is from one source. We
learn, from another source, that England refuses
to continue her subsidy to the Mosquito King; and
that the English Consul, Mr.. Christy, left San Juan,
or what Is now called Grey Town, on the 18th of
June, in British brig Of war.

President LOUIS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
IifsToEY.-When ignorant men set themselves up
TO write for the public, and assume to teach the
people, II - amentable TO behold what miserable
boIch they make, and it is almost equally painful to
point out their folly and hold it up to public scorn
as II ought TO be done. We have noticed, of late,
IN some OF the public journals, deporable instances
where the pen has been assumed by ignorant per-
sons; and not only have they made the English
grammar to suffer grievcusly, but they have also
betrayed a complete ignorance of the most noto-
rious historical facts.

such miserable perversion Of historic truths As
If Napoleon undertook the war against Russia
merely to "evInce his qualifications" Every child
knows that he had then obtained the summit of his
ambition; that the glorious campaigns Of Italy,
the Bridge Of Lodi, the Pyramids of Egypt, the
field Of Marengo, the triumph of Austerlin, the
subjugaton OF Austrio the conques, OF all Europe,
the plains Of Jeda, the Peninsula Of Spain, had
already long before exhibited his qualifications
and that this war against Russia was the mere re-
cult Of satiated ambition, like Alexander, not
knowing what to do or where to go, to find fresh
fields Of battle; and that he chiefly undertook this
disastrous campaign out Of pique and spite against
gland; because Alexander refused to submit 10
