OF meeting the line of Chinese cavalry--so often

until at length the lake at the lower end, became
one vast cauldron of bloodshfd and carnage.-
lhe Chinese cavalry had reached the foot Of the
hills: Bashkirs, attentive to their movements,
mad formed /; skirnishes had been fought; and
the contest was henceforwards rapidly becoming
hopeless. the Bashkirs and Kirghises began to
retire. The pursuit was not MS vigorous as the
Kalmuck hatred would have desired. But, at
the same time, the very goomiest hatred could

years study without them.

Supernaturalism OF New England,

We copy the following interesting passages
fronra book with this title, written by John G.
Whittier, who Can tell good story in prose
with the same delightful interest he does it in
verse:
Nearly opposite to my place Of res

Amesbury.) stands house which has long had
bad reputation. One of it's recent inmates

matter Of surprise that muiden's slumbers
should thus be haunted. As the old pa writer
hath it:
" She blushed and smiled to think upon her dream

Like enc she will not name) upon her virgin knees"
An esteemed friend-a lady of strong MUD
not at all troubled with nervous sensibihty, al
though not deficient in ideality-has told me
that while living with an aged relative, wlo was
at that time in the enjoyment of her usual health
she was terrified by the appearance of dead
body lying by thu side of her relative, who was
quietly sleeping IN her bed. The old lady died
soon after, and my friend AYERS that the corpse
ne 1t lay before her recalled in the most minute
particulars her recollection of the apartion. She
had seen the same before by the side Of the living
sleeper.

SPIRITS ToLLlNG BELL.-Some thirty
wears ago an aged farmer in the western part
nf this State related to me an occurrence that
took place in one of the villages on the Hudson
river when he was young man. 1t appeared
at the time as wonderful as any Of the rappings
and mysterleus noises of our day. The village
had chapel with bell, and buryiug ground
adjoining. The people who had the control OF
the chspe had for some time refused to toll the
bell at the deaths aud funerals without pay, and
the poor were consigned to the grave unknelcd.
This occasioned excitement among the vllagerr,
who considered such conduct a reptoach 10 hu-
manty AT length, at the dead hour Of mid
night, the village bell was heard to toll solemn
kne The villagers awoke in great consterna-
lion, and hurried to the spot. The bell was still
tolling its solemn psals, and those who stood IN
The burying ground thought they felt the earth
quake under their feet. But on approaching the
church door, they found it securely fastened as
usual. wi,h no signs OF any one having entered.
The church was entered however, and with
trembling steps two men ascended to the belfiy {;
but lust before they reached it, the tclling ceased
They entered The beliry with light, but could
discern no traces of any living creature, nor any
appearance Of any one having been there.
All was CONSERVATION. "What does this
mean ?" was 10 every ones mouth Mean
rep led an uncle Of the narrator. "why. they
wont toll the bell for the poor and the angels
have come and tolIed their death knell." And
such, for aught know, may be the legend to
this day.
Now. have not heard of any thing in the
annals Of spirit rappine more wonderful than tbs
And vet. to the mind of may informant, it was
perfectly clear though to tina, day it had never
been explained at the place where it had oe-
cured. Himself and his cousin, son Of the
uncle alluded to, had made strong waxed cord,
about half mile in length, and with ladder
ascended to the belfry and tied one end OF the
cord to the tongue of the bel and conveyed the
o,ber IN the window of the house Of the afore-
said uncle, half mile distant and then taking
the precaution to remoye the ladder, they began,
the solemn work Of tollng the bell for the poor
Blu, lust at the moment when the men were
entering the beliry, the cord broke. After the
people had retired, aud all war still, the young
men took the precsu,ion to remove the remains
of the broken string FROM the tongue OF the bell
md the trick was never discovered. .--.Nsw York

THE DEFORMED--A PICTURE,


Silent she sits upon the moss clad stone,
Glad fO,ms are ronn Il her, yet she seems alone:
Her soil yes fixed upon yon clondless dome,
she prays that God will early Iake her home
Rilhe sho1ts are ringing on the summer air,
Young howers are springng round her everywhere,
Above her head the AXIS green foliage waves,
Bird music g,,shes through the whispering leaves,
Her brothers, joyous laughter greels her eals;
Nor sights, nor sounds like these cause Childhood tears
Her bFuihers leave her-swifl away they he,
To Gull the flowers aud chase the butterfly,
They seek the May flower meath the fragrant pines,
The wild rose kissed by summers bandest winds,
The white wood violet from ils dewy bed
They pluck, NOR dean they gather for the dead
hut of they stop, in childish grief, TO say,
81 wish dear Ella too could join our plays
Well save the flowers think most fresh and fair,
And iwine garland for our sisters hair"
Still deth she sit upon that moss clad stone,
There're bright ones round her. she is not alone,
Fair white winged seraphs kiss her pale cold brow,
Ella, the poor deformed, 's is an ange' now.
Her brothers CONS, and still sh stitch there,
The soft wind playing with her golden hair
The old oak trunk supports her fair young head,-
The flowers they brought her fall upon the dead

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-We live in the
midst Of blessing, says Sir A. Park, ill we are
are Utterly insensible Of their greatness, and Of
the source from whence they flow. We speak
of our civilization, our arts. our freedom, onr
laws, and forget entirely how large share is
due 10 Christianity. Blot Christianity out Of
mans history, and what would his laws have
been-what his civilization? Christianity is
mixed up with our very being and our very life;
there is not familiar object around US which
does not wear different aspect because the
light of Christian love is upon it-not law
which does not owe its truth and genteness to
Chrislianity-not q custom whcn cannot Dc
traced in all its holy, beautiful paris, to the
gospel.

BEAUTIFUL True beauty resides in the soul
It is the form of goodness. How charmlngly is
this expressed in the folowlng:-" Spiritual
beauty and the sweet youlhfulness which cleaves
to it, unlike the fading beauty of the body
never departs. Rather does it enhence with
age, participating IN the nature OF the angels
and is often loveliest at the moment when the
temple it has inhabited fall away from its ruin
ed and dsnan,led. The better it is known, the
more ardently it is loved ; and hence it is thai
at the end of long life. the woman who il
possessed of it, though the rose leaves be all
scattered, charms her husband even more than
the first"

A WISE SAY,Na.-A preacher once said
"If you know anything that will make a brothers
heart glad run and tell it; and if it is some
thing that will only cause sigh, bottle II up
bottle il up. We never get good bread tor our
selves till we begin to ask for our brethren.'
Some months since, says the Christian Regis
Ter, we prepared and published the above item
