The Washington Union contains IN excellent
article on the Democracy, of diffusion of science,
rs distinguished from It's concentration in narrow
limits, and suggests to the young, especial eXpo
ring expeditions into the mlnarul wealth OF the

Two Good Anecdotes.

HoIdens Magazine for August contains the
following good things. Our first extract is
from n sketch of Rev. 7. p. Hunt famous south
and west rs temperance lecturer
a small Temperance society had been started
in Il comwurity vcry much under the control ofa
rich distillcr commonly called "Bill Nyers."-
This man had several sl,s Who had hec,me
druukards or tie acl ties afforded by their odu
cation ut home. The whole family was mrayed
against this movement, and threatened 10 break
mp any meeting called 20 promote the object
Learning this, iir. Hunt went to ueighborng
district 'or temperance volunteers for that par.
ticular occasion. lie then gave out word ior Il
meeting, and at the time found ht- friends and
enemies about equal in numbers. This fact pre-.
vented any outbreak, bat could not prevent
noise,
Mr.. Hunt U1auted lis platform, and by few
sharp anecdotes and witty sayings soon sileurcd
all noise except the sturdy "Bul Myers" The
old Dutchmcn Kept crying out "Nishter Hunt
money mnkes the mare GO To every shot
which seemed to dcmoiish him, the old fellow
presented the ore shield "Mishter Hunt. mon
oy makes the mare go
At last Mr.. Hunt stopped and addressed the
mpertmbahIe German. look here, Bill Myers

"Nell Bill Myers, you own and work distil

BILL Myers, bring Ogt your p,nTc and II bria,

Iy this time the whole assembly was in q tt
ter of delight, and even Myers followers cuult
not repress Their mgrrmont Mt the evident en-
| barasSDent Of their orgclc. In the meantime
/ We must premise that Mr. Hunt knew n hrr,

them the sons of Myers himself.

Good deal Of that, Bill Myers for gucss tia

Here there was perfect uproar f-omnll par,

rItE LADY OF CASTLE WINDECE.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Rein in thy snortin charger!
That stag but cheats thy sight;
lie is luring thee on TO Wiudcck,
With his seeming fear and flight,
Now, where the moulderng turrels
OF the outer gate arse,
The knight galed over the ruins
Where he stag WIS lost 10 his eyes,
The sun shcne hot above him
] lac ras tie was still AS death;
He wiped the sweat from his forehead,
Wa. a deep and weary breath.
"Who now will bring me IA beaser
OF the rlch old wine that here,
In the choked up vaults Of Windecki
Has lain for many year :"
The careless words had scarcely
Time from herlips to fall,
When the Lady Of Castle Windcck
Came round the ivy wall.
He saw the glorious maiden
In her snow white drapery stand,
Tile bunch OF keys at her girdle,
The beaker high in her hand.
iI' Vudlltl Nlll Iltl blu NIuthSt
" ith an eager lip he quatied;
But hc took into his bosom
a fire with the grateful draught.
Here unia,homed brightness
The flowing gold OF her hair
He folded his hands in homage,
And mumurrrd a lovers prayer
She gave him took Of pity,
\ gentle look Of pain,
And quickly as he had seen her
She passed from his sight agan
And ever from that moment,
lie haunted the runs lhcre.
a slecpcss, restless wGndercr,
A watcher with despair.
Ghost-like and pale he wandered,
With a dreamy, haggari eye,
He seemed not one Of the living
And yet he could not die
'Tis said that the lady met him,
When many years had pust,
And kissing his lips, released him
Ersm the burden Of lite at last

suspicious omen of the entire separation of the
general government from all connection with
the institution of slavery, And yet with these
