NUMBER 10
Anecdote of Gen. SCOTT,

After the capture of Scott, the year be-
fore, at Queenstown, he was supping with
General Sheaffe, and number of British
officers, when one Of them, colonel, ask
ed him if he had ever seen the neighboring
Falls. Scott replied, eyes, from the
American side" To this the other sar-
castically replied, "You must have the glo-
ry of successful fight before you can view
the cataract in all its grandeur" mean
ing from the Canada shore. Scott reioin-
eel, "lf it be your intention to insult me.
sir, honor should have prompted you first
to return me my sword !" General Sheaffe
promptly rebuked the British colonel, and
the matter was dropped.
At the battle of Fort George, among
the earliest prisoners taken by the Amer
leans was the same British colonel, badly
wounded. Scott politely borrowed the
prisoners horse, not being able to bring
his own in the boats, and gave orders that
the prisoner should be treated with all
possible attention and kindness. That
evening, after the pursuit, and as often as
subsequent events permitted, Scott called
on the British colonel. He returned him
the horse, and carefully provided for all
his wants. Indeed, he obtained permis-
sion tor him to return to England on his
parole, at time when the belligerents had
begun to refuse such favors, as well as all
exchanges. AT the first of these visits the
prisoner delicately remarked, "I have long
owed you an apology, sir. You have ov-
erwhelmed me with kindnesses. You can
now, at your leisure, view the Falls in all
heir glory
1t is such acts of magnanimity as these
Which reflect honor on human nature
v ere they more frequent, the rough brow
+ war would be smoothed to smiles, and
he field Of battle be as remarkable for
he beautiful in character as for the glori-
us in action

The Temperance Tract,
BY T. s. ARTHUR,

A young man who felt a good deal Of
enthusiasm in the temperance cause, pro-
cured some tracts fer distribution. He
had dozen, and in the ardor of his feel
lngs, he calculated that at least twelve
men would be reformed through their agen-
cy. Having an idle afternoon to devote
to the cause, he started with the dozen
tracts IN his pocket, his mind s.mewhat
clated IN the prospect of the good that
was to be done. In walking along, the
first who came in his way was tavern
Keeper. "Here is a good subject" said
Wilton to himself, as the tavern keeper
drew near. Let me sec what l have that
will suit him. All this is it. An Ap-
peal to the People on the Liquor Traffic'u
AND selecting tract with the above title.
he presented it to the tavern-keeper as
they met, saying as he did so, "Accept
this if you please"
Taken by surprise, the man received
the tract; and the distributor, bowing,
moved IN.
"a dead shot for him - thought he ,
but thc thought was scarcely formed ere
ne n fe!5 hand laid roughly on his shoulder. |
Tuning quickly he confronted the tavern |
kcaper, whose face was hot with anger.
-" hat is this :" lie demanded imDera-
lively.
1t IS tract" replied the young
man, looking confused.
Bee here, my friend !" and as the tay

For the Literary Echo.
Smiles,


| love a smilc-a joyous smile,
Pure from the tount of feeling,
That speaks a heart enshrineI within,
It's truth revealing
| love a smile-a gladstone smile;
Oh who would always sorrow,
And wear a sad and mournful face,
And fear the morrow
love a smile; it cheers the heart
Of age bowed down by sadness,
To see the bright and sunny smile,
OF Youthful gladncss.
| love a smile; this world would be
At last a drcary dwelling,
If heart could never speak to heart,
Its pleasures telling.
Then frown not at a joyous smile,
Or chide the merry hearted
A cheerful heart and smiling face
Can ne'er be parted.
