Courteous Reply to an Infdel.

An American traveller being uneXpect-
cd!v detained at the mole or quarantine in
Odessa, was very civilly offered half of
his apartments, and j sofa TO lie on, by
Young Englishman who acted as translator
TO the mole. After they had formed an
intimate acquaintance, ana one evening
had retired TO rest, the traveller asked his
friend how he could endure the blasphemy
which was so constantly heard there
The young Englishman replied. that as
a gentleman these things were disagreed"
be TO him, but as to their being lntrlnsi-
callv wrong, ii was no matter of concern
to him, rs he denied the truth of all reve-
lat.on, and believed Jesus Christ TO be an
The traveller, without supPoslmg the re-
mark would be needed except by courtesy,
replied: L" Either Christ was IN impOstor,
or he was not. If he was an impostor,
we have the incOnceivable phenomenon of
a base man practising virtue, seli.denial,
charity, forgiveness Of injuries, contume-
ly, and even cruci6xion. Is tphllosophi-
cal to suppose that bad man would take
so much pains 10 make men good? But
if he was not an imposter, then he has told
the truth, and we must believe HIM"
is il possible that | never saw thatbe-
fore ?" was the only reply of lhe young "
but the argument sunk deep
into his heart; and when the'traveller had
arrived al Alexandria, he received letter
from the former sceptic, acknowledging
him as - the best friend he ever had" en-
him to be equally faithful TO
and praying him not TO forget his

Young Men.

There is no moral object so beautiful to
me as conscientious young man. l
watch him as | do a star in heaven; clouds
NAV be before him, but we know that his
ligbt is behind them and will beam forth
again; the blaze Of others popularity may
outshine him, but we know that, though
unseen, he iluminates his own true sphere.
He resists temptation, and without a
struggle. for that is not virtue, but he re-
sists and cOnquers, he bears the sarcasm
Of the prohgate, and il stings him, for that
IS a trait of virtue, but heals with his own
pure touch. He hceds not the watchword
of fashion, if it leads to sin; the Atheist
who SAYS, not only in his heart, but with
his lips, d" there is no God ~ controls him
not; he sees the hand of creating God,
and reioices in il.
Woman is sheltered by fond arms and
loving council old age is protected by its
experience, and manhood by its strength;
but the young man stands amid the temp
tations Of the world like a self-oslance
tower. Happy he who seeks and gains
the prop Of mortality.
Onward then, conscientious youth
raise thy standard and nerve thyself for
goodness. If God has given thee intel
lectual power, awake in that cause; never
let it be said Of thee " he helped to swell
the river of sin by pouring his Influence
into its channels" If thou art feeble IN
mental strength, throw not that drop into
a polluted current. Awake, arse, young
man assume that beautiful garb Of virtue!
1t is difficult to be pure and holy. Put on
thy strength then. Let truth be the lady
of thy loye-delend her.-Miss Caroline
Gilman.

An Interesting Story.

" Cast thy bread upon the waters, and
after many days it will return to thee -"
this is a scripture truth. which, like all
truth, has been verified thousand times.
The following story may serve to illus
trate the verify Of this text. Allow me to
premise that my story IS true one IN all
particulars
Some thirty years since, a lad OF one Of
our Eastern States, about ten years Of age,
was sent by his employer to carry bas-
ket heavily laden with wares, to a purcha-
ser. While staggering under its weight
up somewhat steep bill, gentleman Of
about thirty years profercd his assistance,
and beguiled the tcdiousness OF the way by
pleasant anecdote, COED advice and kind
words. They parted fifteen years pass
ed awav the senior OF these two, now
nearly fifty years Of age, sat in his study
with melancholy counlenance and heavy
heart. His door opened, AMI his young
and fascinating daughter, just blooming
into womanhOod, entered to announce that
a gentleman desired TO see her father.
{" Show him in, my darling daughter, and
do you, my child, leave us 10 ourselves. ="
She obeyed. The old gentleman entered.
Well, sir," was his salutation, " have
YOU considered my proposition - q
have, and have determined, happen what
NAV, will not force or sway, by any 25i
of mine, the will Of my child. Sic shall
be left to her own free choice" "Then.
sir, tomorrow, by three o'clock, your
property must go into the hands of the
sheriff, unless you find some friend TO pay
the twenty thousand dollars" This he
said with sneer, and coldly bowing, left
the house. The poor fathers heart was
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1850-01-01

racked. Il am a beggar; my daughter
is homeless have no friend to offer as
sistance in this hour of my severest trial
In the midst of these bitter reflections,
again his daughter entered, introducing q
gentleman of some twenty.eight years Of
age-a stranger. Am in the presence
Of Mr.. G!' was his opening remark;
which being affirmatively answered, he
continued by saying that he was sue
cessful merchant Of New York, had heard
of the misfortunes of Mr.. c., and come
on purpose TO ask the amount of his La
bilitieS, that he might loan the necessary
funds to relieve his wants. Nor was he
shocked at the mention of the large amount
of twenty thousand dollars. He handed
him his check, which was duly honored;
the father was once more happy man
his daughter was not houseleSs he had
found some friend TO pay, despite the
sneer of this hard-hearted creditor. But
pray, slr,' said the agitated father, TO
what am | indebted for this munihcent
kindness, from an entire stranger Per
haps vou have forgotten, was the reply,
: that some eighteen years since yon aided
a frleudless boy of ten years of age to car
ry his loaded basket up hill; thai you
gave good advice and kindly words |
am that boy. ! followed your advice; |
have lived honestly; have gained wealth;
and now, after many years, | have come
to return to you, kind sir, the bread which
you then cast so freely upon the waters.

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH-A very large
meeting of the citizens of New Orleans was held
last week, in one of the churches of that city,
the object of which was the adoption OF mea-
sures to cause better observance ofthe Sabbath.
Judge McCaleb, of the U. S. District Court,
presided. Speeches were made and the desecra-
ton of the Sabbath by military parades, the the
atres, &C., was condemned in unqualified terms.
The movement may be deemed as the initiate
ry step towards an improvement in the practice
complained Of,
