THE TEAR OF SYMPATHY,

How softly the tear of sympathy falls
on the heart bruised and broken with sor-
row 1: assures the sad and weeping soul
that it is not alone in wilderness of cold
hearts that there are those who can feel
for the troubles of others and oh what
is more cheering to an aching heart than
such thought The desire to be loved
is human nature in its purity. 1t is the
first impulse of the opening heart-and it
lives and breathes in the bosom of all until
the hour Of death A look of love, word
Of kindness, a tear of sympathy costs no.
thing-why then withhold them from those
who would prize them as blessings winged
with the fragrant dews of heaven? To
give them costs us nothing; but it often
costs US an effort--a silent pang at the
heart, did we but confess ito withhold
them for he must indeed be misanthrope
whose heart does not delight in going forth
10 bless and be blessed.
The tear of sympathy never falls in vain.
1t waters and fertilises the soil of the most
sterile heart, and causes it to flourish with
the beautiful flowers Of gratitude and love;
and as the summer clouds weep refresh
ment on the parched earth and leave the
skies more beautiful than before, with the
rainbow of promise arching in the cerulean
dome, so the tear of sympathy not only
refreshes the heart on which it drops, but
il elevates and beauties the nature of him
from whom it springs. A sympathising
heart is a spring of pure water bursting
forth from the mountain side Ever pure
and sweet in itself, il carries gladness and
Joy on every ripple of its sparkling current

A STORY OF THE HIGHWAY.

Not many years ago, an Irishman, whose
finances did not keep pace with the de-
nand made on his pocket, and whose scorn
of honest labor was immensely unfavora-
BILE TO their being legitimately filled, bor-
rowed an old pistol one day, when poverty
had driven him to an extremity. and took
to the highway, determined to rob the first
man he could most conveniently, who was
likely to have heavy purse.
A jolly old farmer came logging along,
and Pat put him down instantly as a party
who possessed those requisites he so much
stood in need of himself. Presenting the
pistol, he ordered the agriculturalist to
stand and deliver
The poor fellow forked over some fifty
dollars but finding Pat somewhat of a
greenhorn, begged five to take him home
"a distance of about half mile, by the
way. The request was complied with,
accompanied with the most patronizing air.
Old Acres and Roods was knowing one.
Eyeing the pistol, he asked Pat if he would
sell it.
" Is it to sell the pistol Sowl, an it's
that same thing III be afher doin'. What
will ye be afther givin' for it ~
III give you this five dollar bill for it. -
Done ! an done's enough betwane two
gin1emen. Down with the dust, and
here's the tool for yer
The bargain was made by immediate
transfer. The moment the farmer got the
petronel, he ordered Pat to shell out; and
pointing the pistol, threatened 10 blow his
brains out if he refused.
Pat looked at him with comical leer, and
buttoning his breeches pockets, sung out ::
Blow away, ould boy ID take the
bit Of powders in it.
We believe the old man never told the
last part of the story only once, and that
was by the purest accident Pat moved
off, and once away, forever away" has
since been his motto.

KATHARINE OF RUSSIA.

Dark and dreadful was the night of the
25th of November, 1859, and heavily fell
the snow fakes; but darker were the
prospects, and heavier was the heart OF
the Door Livonian, as he reached the skirts
Of the dense forest surrounding the town
Of Marienburg. Misfortune had compelled
the INDECENT peasant to sever the endearlng
relations that bound him TO his favorite
haunts Of sacred memory, and seek among
strangers that which was denied him IN
the midst Of his friends.
Accompanied by his first born, a spright-
ly youth OF fourteen, and bearing in his
weary arms a tender infant, the express
image of her whom he had lately con-
signed to the silent tomb, he had well nigh
completed a faithful journey through a
black and inhospitable region. A violent
storm OF snow and wind peculiar to that
drcary country,) fercely ragged, bearing de-
slruction and desolation in It's progress, and
producing terror in the minds OF the un-
sheltered wanderers. Overcome by the
severity of the cold, and unable longer to
sustain his precious charge, he carefully
deposited it upon bed of snow, and went
in quest of assistance and kind retreat
from the hOwling of the storm. But he
returned not again, The early dawn had
discovered frozen corps TO the astonished
tenants Of an obscure cottage in the out
skirls OF the quiet village,

TREATMENT OF BUTTER.

This is an article of domestic food, more
of which is consumed in the United States
than III any other country on the face of
the globe. Good sweet butter, oh how
delicious 1t very often happens among
families in our towns, that they will pur-
chase good sweet butter at stores, and
which in day or two becomes vitiated in
taste. This is owing either TO the manner
in which it is salted and packed, or the
manner in which it is kept after it is pur-
chased. Much butter is spoiled from using
salt containing lime and other substances
which hasten its decomposition. Salt can
easily be purified by pouring upon it lit
tie warm water and allowing it TO drain ;
1t dlssolvcs and takes out the lime and other
eXtraneous substances, and leaves the salt
nearly pure. The quantity usually added
to butter is one ounce TO the pound. After
butter has become rancid, it can be restored
and made nearly sweet by very simple
process. This is, to wash it well in cold
water, often changed, and after pressing out
the water, salt it anew and add little su-
gar, say half an ounce to the pound. This
will be found to render it much more pala-
table, although it may not entirely restore
that delicate flavor peculiar to new and
sweet butter, which once lost can never be
restored.

and, surrendering herself a prisoner of
war, demanded the protection of the noble
general.
Bereft of her preserver and benefactor,
she was now alone in the world, and
young, with promise of long life, there
were no ties to bind her to earth, and she
longed to join her pious and devoted guar
dian. A prisoner, she was treated with
marked courtesy and respect by the gen.
eral-in-chief, who ordered her well fur
nlshed apartments and every attention TO
her comfort and pleasure. She also re-
ceiyed many kindnesses from the youthful
Cossack, who at length became enamored
of her charms, and proved the strength of
his attachment by procuring her release
from confinement, upon parole of honor,
and personal security for her safety. His
asslduous attention TO her wants, and ear
nest efforts in her behalf, were not with
out reward for she soon came to regard
him as her hope, her refuge, and lord of
her affections.
The general and the young officer, who
appeared from his dress 10 be but a SIM
pie lieutenant" were the only occupants
OF the tent, and Katharine was EMPLOYED
in experimenting their domestic affairs.
One day as she was engaged in serving
their customary meal, their conversation
turned upon the merits of their fair maid,
and the young officer addressed the former
III tones laudatory of her courage and
beauty, and concluded with the inquiry
I" General, will you sell your prisoner ~
" And what will you do with her ~
Marry her., replied the Cossack.
What say you, Katharine 2" said the
general turning TO the blushing damsel.
Her hestating response was, " would
rather be the wife of a soldier than the
servant of great general"
' Bravely spoken from this moment
you are mine,' he rejoined g but we must
obtain the permission of the Gar. will
Immediately go to the Emperor's tent, and
receive his sanction to our union. Remain
here, while | seek an audience Of his ma
jesty."
In few moments a young Lieutenant
advanced to the generals tent, and said
The Gar, Peter, commands the pres
ence Of Madamoiselle Katharine
With quick, though trembling step,
she followed, and, on entering the magni-
ficent tent, discovered throng of officers
surrounding one who was seated, and
whom she recognised as her affianced
husband.
Where is the Emperor ?" demanded
Katharine Of her conductor.
1" There - replied he, pointing 10 the
soldier who was seated.
"That is my husband"
"He is thy husband, and Gar of Rus
sia likewise broke out the Emperor, lfor
it was he, and presenting her TO his Off
GERS, bade them acknowledge the humble
Katharine as the future Empress of Rus

ticed the rumors afoat, in regard to the
student who broke in upon Prof. Webster
at the moment of the supposed murder
The story seems TO be founded upon a
hypothetical case which some clergyman
saw fit to put TO the Attorney General
We doubt if there is anything in il worthy
of notice; and we may say the same of
the thousand and one rumors afoat in re-
gard to the unhappy convict. They are
many of them mere idle fabrications, got
upto minister to a morbid appetite for the
horrible, which every person of sound
mind should subdue as he would any viii
ated taste. The report that Prof. Webster
has selected the Rev. Mr. Albro, of the
Shepard Congregational Society, Cam
bridge, for his spiritual guide, and that he
declined receiving the visits of Unitarian
clergyman, Is, we believe, true. With re-
gard to the reports, that he has written an
anonymous letter to his counsel about the
Civis letter that he has made confession
of his guilt, &c, they are not entitled to
credit.
