STORY OF REMBRANDT.

At short distance from Leyden, may still be
seen flour-mill with aquaint old dwelling
house attached, which bears, on a brick in a
corner Of the wide chimney; the date 1885,
Here, in 1905, was born Paul Rembrandt. At
an early age he manifested stubborn, indepen
dent will, which his father tried in vain to sub
due. He caused his son TO work in the mill,
intending that he should succeed him in its
management; but the boy showed SO decided a
diataste for the employment, that his father re-
solved to make him priest, and sent him to
study ct Leydon. Every one knows, however,
that few lads Of fifteen, endowed with great
muscular vigor and abundance Of animal spir-
iss, will take naturally and without cOmpulsiOn
to the study Of Latin grsmmer. Rembrandt
certainly did not; and his obstiancy proving an
oVermafch, for his teachers patience, be was sent
back to the mill, when his father beat him so
severely that next morning he ran off TO Ley
den, without in the least knowing how he
should live there. Fortunately he sought ref
uge in the house Of an honest artist, Van ZWa-
anenberg, who was acquainted with bis father.
"Tell me, Paul" asked his friend, "what do
you mean TO do with yourself. ii you will not be
either priest or a miller7 They are both hon
orable professions: one gives food to the soul the
other prepares it for the body"

ANOTHER CUBAN ExPEDITIoN.-A Washing
ton letter in the Philadelphia North American
says
2 There are rumors circulating here and in
circles that fought to be well informed, Of an or
ganizatiOn for third expedition against the Is
land Of Cubs, Several Of the so-called Off
cers Of the first attempt have been lOunging about
the metropolis during the winter, with no visi-
BILE occupation, and no manifest means Of sup
port. 1t is believed that the material for the
proposed movement, if procured at all, will be
obtained from among class Of foreigners Of
desperate fortunes, who are ready to engage in
any enterprise, however lawless, that may pro-
mise peCuniary reward, But it is to be said, to
the discredit Of persons claiming to be Ameri-
cans, that the origin and responsibility Of the
new scheme may be placed at our own dOOrH.

THE ABOLITION EXCITEMENT IN GRAYsoN Co.,
Wa Court DISPERSED BY NoB.-Ws men,
mioned few days ago that much excitement
existed in GraysOn county, Va, against GER
tain parties suspected Of being AbOlitiOnistS,
and that Judge BRowN was unable to hold the
county court, in consequence Of the resignation
OF the clerk, and his inability to secure another.
1t now appears the court was dissolved By mob
violence, the particulars Of which are thus de-
tailed in letter from Carroll county to the
Yyginial;
"After the execution Of the negroes in that
county, some time ago, who had been excited to
rebellion by a certain Methodist preacher By the
name Of Bacon, which you have heard, the cit
liens held meeting and instituted a sort Of in-
QUESTION, to find out, if possible, who were the
of said Bacon. Suspicion soon
rested on man by the name Of Cornut, and
on being charged with being an aecompliee, he
acknowledged the fact, and declared his inten-
ton of persevering in the cause, upon which he
was severely lynehed. COrnut then instituted
suit against the parties, who afterwards held a
meeting and passed resolutions, notifying the
Court and lawyers not to undertake the case
upon pain Of coat of tar and feathers. The
Court, however, convened at the appointed time,
and true to their promise, band Of armed men
marched around the Court House, fired their
guns by platoons, and dispersed the Court in
confusion. There was no blood shed. This
county and the county Of Wyth have held meet
ings and passed resolution sustaining the move.

Temperance HYMN.

From Gallia's teeming wine press,
From Hollands streams of Gin,
Where thousands, in their blindness,
Prepare the bait of sin;
From many a fiery river,
From many poisonous rill,
God calls us TO deliver
The victims of the Still.
What though they sing of pleasure,
While each the goblet fills
What though their bliss they measure
BY quarts and piRts and gills--
In vain with lavish kindness
Heaven gives us richer bread
DistilierS, in their blindness,
Make poison in its stead,
Shall we, by TEMPERANCE aided
In health and peace to live
Shall WE, to men degraded,
Refuse the boon to give 2
The Fountain Oh the Fountain!
The balm Of health proclaim,
"Till men, DER sea and mountain,
Shall speed to tell its fame.
Watt, wait ye winds the story,
And you ye waters roll,
Till Temperance, in its glory,
Shall spread from pole to pole
Till health and peace, and blessings
Shall follow in its train,
And Christ all hearts possessing,
God over all shall reign"

The Birds of Spring.

Sing on BY fame and forest old,
By tOmba and cottage caves,
And tell the waste Of coming flowers,
The wood Of coming lsaves;-
The tame sweet song that DER the birth
of earliest blOsiOms rang
And caught its music from the hymn
The stars Of morning sang!
It hailed the radiant path Of Spring,
BY stream and valley fair,
And DER the eATth's green hill-tOpt, when
No step but heTs was there;
And like the lauTel's giit Of green,
The viOlet's depth Ofblue,
II has survived a thousand thrones,
And yet the song Is new.
New as we heard II in the yeaS
Whose memories still are young,
When lile'S frat rainbow o er our path
Its arch ofgloy fungi
That visiOned light has melted long
From hearts whose hopes have met
The shower and shadow; but yOui strains
Are loved and trusted yet.
They come when sunsets dying lines,
Or mornings waking smiles,
Light up the mountains rocky Shnnea,
The lonely forest aisles,
Our FOULS, from all their early store,
Have kept one answering tone
OF JOY, TO greet each gushing song
With gladness like It's own.
There have been harpS amOnguI strung
II seemed beside "the tree
of life," where oil the flowers we sought,
Or dFeampt OF, yet might be:
But early fell the hush Ofdeath
On each uuweafied string,
That caught, though from afaI, the dew
OfovsIlasting spring.
ObleSt is true and fearless love!
. free of earth and air!
For whom the past has no regret,
The all 10 come no care!
Still, IRON ita Summers far away,
To the worn heart ye bring
Its early store Of love and hope
Sweet prophet-hiIds of Spring.

GENERAL LOPEZ STILL AL1vEl--The New
ORLEANS Crescent, OF the 18th inst, has the
following paragraph: One of the returned
Cuban prisoners states that he is eredibly in
formed and has reason to believe, that General
Lopez was not garrOted, but that another indi-
vidual, notorious criminal, who very much
resembled Lopez, was the sufferer in the tragic
scene at the Plaza de Armas. Our informant
states that Lopez is confined in one Of the dun
Reons Of Havana, where, without light without
Clothing, solitary and scantily fed, he i daily
subjected to the most exeruciating tortares.--
Spanish invention, it is said, has bean to the
rack to invent tortures sufficiently refined
for this sCOurge Of royalty in the Antille0.--
Without sndOrsingtbs story, we give il for what
Il is worth. m

THE MIsER SILENcED.-One cold winter
when the ground was covered with snow, and
the little birds could not get anything to eat,
the little daughter of miserly rich man gath
cred up all the crumbs she could find and was
going to carry them out and scatter them on
the snow. Her father saw her. and asked her
what she was going to do! She told him; and
he said, what good will that do The
crumbs will not be enough to feed one in a
hundred of the BIRDS" l know it, dear father"
said she, but shall be glad to save even one
in a hundred of them, if cannot save them all" !"
The father thought a moment; he knew that
many poor persons were suffering in his village
and he had refused to help any because he
could not help them all. His conscience struck
him, and he told his little daughter to break a
loaf of bread into crumbs for the birds while he
went to scatter purse of money amongst the
poor villagers. [Christian Witness

The Poetry Of the Scriptures, so grand in it,
self, has also been declared the source of the
best profane poetry; its elevated thoughts, bold
natural figures and pure spirit, having been ira,
ced in the more sublime passages of the higher
bards. Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, Byron, Cow
per, Dante--indeed all the poets, have drawn
their highest and purest inspirations from the
sacred volume The evolvement, therefore, of
the poetry of the Hebrews, of Isaiah, of Solo,
mon, and the prophets, cannot but be an intel
lectual treat of the highest order. The learned
of every persuasion, the admirers of the beaut
full and sublime, as well as the humble reader of
the Bible, will all be interested in the presenta-
ton of the great subject.

The PRNTER.-The night grows late-the
streets are hushed-the moon-beams f1eck the
deserted pavements- the sleep strews its slum-
berOus poppies over the Inhabitants of the ST.
lent city. All are at rest save the printer, who
is busy ot his case.
Dreams, lovely as winged cherubs, hover
about the repose of man and maiden: visions,
pure as first lilies and beautiful as the sunset
of early summer, haunt the couches of the mat
ron and the chd-but to the printer, all is re-
ality, toll and WEAKNESS.
How nimbly and cheerfuly does he adjust
the faithful as if he took "no note of time
as if the duties that were wearing out his life
were more diversion than laborious avoca-
ton. But amid their monotonous discharge,
believe us, the printer thinks of home and sweet
rest, and sighs within himself for the better lot
of which others are possessed. And yet there
is no repose for him-though the night tramps
on and the jocund dawn will soon appear.
Why do his motions grow less rapd-why
move his fingers in so deliberate and mechani-
cal way. Whence is the smile that fingers
at his lip, like the first sunbeam at the gates
of morning There is gentle presence at his
side-an eye-bue as violets. glancing into
his own--an accent, sweet as music, enhancing
his ear and reaching his very heart
1t is but moment--it was only revere--
it did not even win him from his occupation
it only caused his hand to falter, not to cease
the printer awakens to busy toll again.
Ye who receive your sunrise favorite and
wander, perhaps, listlessly over its pages, re-
member that it is the fruit of toll, which was
active and untiriDg, while you were quietly
seeping-that life is imprinted in its columns
that your convenience and comfort is bought
with the price of weariness.
There is an eclectic chord" when, being
charged with sympathy, will carry the gentle
burden even unto the most distant hearts. We
bespeak its agency in behalf of the faithful prin
ter. Buffalo Express.

GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1852.
BE NOT TOO FASTIDIOUS.

A great deal of talents is lost to the world for
the want of little courage. Every day sends
to the grave number of obscure men, who have
only remained obscure because their timidity
has prevented them from making first effort,
and who, if they could only have been induced
to begin, would in all probability have gone
great lengths in the career of fame. The fact is,
that in order to do anything in this world worth
doing we must not stand shivering on the bank
and thinking of the cold and the danger, but
jump in, and scramble through as well as we
can. twill not do to be perpetualy calculating
risks, and adjusting nice chances it did all very
well before the Flood, when man could con-
suit his friends upon an intended publication for
a hundred and fifty years, and then live to see
its success for six or seven centuries afterward; /;
but at present man waits and doubts, and hes
itates, and consuts his brother, and his particu-
lar friends, till one fine day he finds that he is
sixty-fve years of age-that he has lost so much
time in consulting first cousins and particular
friends, that he has no more time left to follow
their advice There is such little time for over
squeamshness at present, the opportunity so
easily slips away, the very period Of life at
which man chooses to venture IF erer, is so
confined, that it is no bad rule to preach up the
necessity, in such instances, of little violence

fiance of strict and sober calculation. With re-
spect to that fastidiousness which disturbs the
right conduct of the understanding, it must be
observed that there are two modes Of judging of
anything; one, by the test of what has actually
been done in the same way before; the other,
by what we can conceive mayhhe done in that
way. Now this latter method Gf mere imagina-
ry excellence can hardly be a just criterion, be-
cause it may be, in fact, impossible to reduce to
practice what it is perfectly easy to conceive
no man, before he has tried, can tell how diff
cult it is to manage prejudice. jealousy, and del
cacy, and to overcome all friction which the
world opposes to speculation. Therefore the
fair practical rule seems to be, to compare any
exertion with all similar exertions which have
preceded it, and allow merit to any one who has
improved or at least who has not deteriorated,
the standard of excellence in his own depart
ment of knowledge. Fastidious men are always
judging by the other standard; and as the rest
of the understanding cannot ill up in century
what the Imagination can sketch out in a mo-
ment, they are always in a state of perpetual
and their conversation one uni
form tenor of blame. At the same time that

against that pernicious facility of temper in the
estimation of which everything is charming and
