The story of the Seven Sleepers is the
most romantic Of all the legends OF the
church. Ii is as follows:
When the Emperor Decius persecu-
ted the Christians, seven noble youths
of Ephesus concealed themselves in
spacious cavern on The side Of an ada
cent mount tain, where the ywere doomed
by the iyrant 10 perish, who gave orders
that The entrance should be firmly Sc
cured by pile Of stones. They imme-
iiately fell into deep slumber, which
was most miraculously prolonged, with.
ont njurng the powers Of life, during
period Of one hundred aud eighiy-seven
years. Al the end Of iha, time, The
slaves Of Atolus, to whom the Inherit
ance of the mountain had descended, re-
moved the stones 10 supply materials for
some rustic edifce. The light of the
sun darlsd into the cavern, and the Sew
en- Sleepers were permitted 10 awake.
Soon after rising from their sleep, which
they thought had lasted only few hours.
they were pressed by the calls Of huns
ger, aud resolved that Jamblichus, one
of their number. should secretly return
TO the city, to purchase bread for their
use. The youth, five may still employ
that appellaion. could no longer recog-
nize the once familiar aspect Of his na-
tive country, aud his surprise was in-
creased by the appearance of large
cross iriumphanily erected over the gate
of Ephesus. His singular dress and OBJ
solete language confounded the baker,
TO whom he offered an ancient medal Of
Oecius, as the current coin Of the ems
pire and JambIichus, on The suspicion
Of secret treasure. was dragged before
the Judge. Their mutual inquiries pros
duced the amazing discovery that all
most two centuries had elapsed since
Jamblichus and his friends had escaped
from the rage of a Pagan ,yrant. The

Emperor Thcodosius himself, hastene1

shakspeare's Mirror for Women.
BY MARY cowpEN CLARKE

As, in the tall glass called Psyche, a
lady gains full length view Of herself,
so that no point of person or dress may
he left disregarded, SD in Shnkspeare's
mirror, q woman may obtain a psycho@
logical reflex Of her nature that may aid
her TO its spotless array, and tu the Ut
most perfection IN adornment Of which
it is susceptible. Shemay learn how 10
preserve its intrinsic graces Of purity and
innocence, at the same time that she is
instructed how 10 deck il with becoming
ornament Of accomplishment. and refn-
ing culture. She may be taught to per-
ceive how native charms are heightened
by suaviiy of demeanor how bne un-
derstanding aud a capacious mind are
set off by modest bearing, how external
beauty is enhanced by sweet manners
and cheerful ease how intellect and
sense cousort with pIacability, forbear-
ance, and afIectionate submission how
gaiety of heart and the gilt OF wit are
tempered with gentleness how highest
dignity shows itself most truly in cour-
tesy, generosity, charity, kindness. From
the lady Of the highest rank, TO the hum
blest among women-from her who is
crowned the most lmperia! monarch"
to her who - does the meanest chores"
we all may read in his respective dein-
cations our ftminme resemblance.
From Tie virtuous majesty Of Hers
moneur,a a Katharine of Arragon, down
to the homely coarseness Of an Audrey
or Mopsa, each essentially bears the
generic stamp Of woman. His sceptered
queens, his princesses, his dnchesses, his
genilewom his yeoman's wives, his
young maidens, his serving damsels, his
country wenches, his hostesses, his most
delicate lady, his most bushing girl. his
most reserved vestal, bis arrantest CO.
quette, his iIdcst spirited sparkler, his
sedatest thinker, his most loving and
lovable female impersona,ion, or his vii
est and most odious one, however infi-
nitely they may vary, nave all one iea-
ture in common-they are pre>emlnently
romaniy in all they do or say. The wit
of RosaIind and Beatrice, the ambition
Of Lady Macbeth, the conjugal faith OF
Imogen, the wickedness of Gonerll and
Regan, The constancy Of Helena. the re-
iremeni of Cordela, the intellect of
Poriia, the wiles of Cleopatra, the inno-
cence Of Miranda, the charm of Viola,
the gen,leness of Desdemona, the sanct>
iiy aud moral purity Of Isabella, the an-
guish of Constance, the maternity OF
Volumnia, the shrewishness Of Katha-
rne, the affection Of Celia, the flippancy
of Lucretia, the passionate love Of Ju-
liet, the sprigltliness of NeTissa, the in-
sanity Of Ophelia, are all as markedly
conirasted as day and night; but they
are all in themselves and in their action
and circumstances true to the spirit Of
woman kind.

Burehard and the College Professor

Some years ago, while Burchard, the
notorious revival preacher. was laborlng
in various parts of New England, he
soiourned for several weeks in Burling-
ton, W., where he managed, as usual,
to geiup a good deal of excitement, by
the extraordinary arts oi which he was
master. Here, however, as elsewhere,
the church to which he brought his ser
vices was divided in opinion as 10 the
propriely Of his manner of preaching,
and the probable usefulness of his zeal>
Gus aud energetic, but very eccentric,
and often irreverent conduct. Some OF
the church members seemed to regard
him as a prodigy Of Pieiy, ability aud
usefulness. Others, but not so many
as the latter party, considered him a
proud, vain glorious, impudent pretend
er, in short, humbug, and were much
inclined to treat him in accordance with
that opinion. or the lailer division was

Oh, listen with your heart,
