Washington praYf

~
In the winter Of l77T, while Washington,
with the American army, lay encamPed AZ
Valley Forge, o good old Friend by the
name of Potts had occasion to pass through,
the wood near head quarters.
Treading his way along The venerable
grove, suddenly he heard the eopnd oE
human voice, which, as he had advanced,
increased on his car, and atlength became
like the voice Of one speaking very eaTnest-s
ly.
AS he approached the spot With a can-
tious step, whom should he behold in dark .
natural bewer Of ancient oaks, but the c6na
mander in chief Of the Americas aAenies.oa Y
his knees at prayer.
Motionless with surprise. Friead Potts
continued on the place til the General, hay.
ing ended his deyotions, arsse, and, retired
to head quarters.
Friend Potts then went home, and on en-
tering his parlor, he called out to bis wife.
"Sarah, my dear! Sarah! all is wsll all is
we'll George Washington will yet prevaiIl' Y
What is the matter, Isaac? Thee seems

"Well, III seem moved. it il no mora

never expected. Thee knows that always
thought the sword and the gospel inconsis-
tent snd that on man can be soldier and a
Christian at the same time; but George

He then related what he had seen, and
concluded with this prophetic remark. III

Be True.

True to yourselves-true to each other
--truc to God. What moro abhorrent vice
than deception? The face covered with
smiles, and the heart rotten as a sepulcher
The hand FIRST binding your eyes, and then
leading you to the brink of the precipice.
The tongue beguiling your face with honey
ed words, and sharpening It's arrow to launch
~ Ycur back
Oh! that inestimaba jewel Of truth
truth Of the tongue, IN lie, in every mani
festation Of the reason, she loves, the pas.
sion of humanity.
Terrible to the young heart is the frs
deception. She looked all purity, all angel
ic goodness, betrayed her trust, and lef
your soul desolats. Heaven only knows
through what depths of darkness tho bruis.
cd spirit struggled to light and JOY again -
But the light has never been as pleasant
the Joy rekindled, burns not like the brighter
fires of long ago. the tears, the sleepless
nights, the hours Of keen dispair, VIII en- a
hand seems ever on your throat ard dag
ger at your heart-for what would you live
them over? Death would be more vel,
come. H..-......
We could bear with petulance, smile at
unkindness-the assaults of harsh temper, or
the moody silence of frowning brow; but
treachery, faithessness, trust betrayed
thank God that we have never yet known
the full import of those terrible words!
BE true, then, if you would be respected.
power on earth can change the fat that
even the world gives the dcceiver. He may
weep tsars of blood, but the monuments OF
his shame still stand to testify against him.
Once liar, always liar. A very child
can tell where deception conceals itself; and
a casual though, lightly expressed, ferrets it
from its foul hiding place.
Be true ii you would be loved. The
heart is like an armory; beautiful and harm
less seems the long rows blistkng steel
bnt every one of these polished shafts may
be used as an instrument Of torture,
So if you deceive, the heart that beats
warmess for your love, your appreciation,
may be converted into gallery of deadly
weapons, and you will be responsible for the
mischief that results through lilc's long bat
tie. Let truth be as dear to you as the APP
pie of your eye, and when the blush springs
not to your cheek, and your tongue falters
not even at the unuttered thought of decep.
ton, then be sure that you are neither fit
for earth or heaven--for tue society of men
or angela.

The Hidden Life.

1t matters not where the feet may be
straying in the visible world, or on what the
eyes may be looking or the hands laboring,
still deep and silent within the spirits lives in
its own sepcratc-lfe and travels on in It's
chosen way. 1t sbides in world Of its
own, where the scene shifts like mortal
landscape as We journey on. 1t hath a
6rmament above it, throug which, looking,
it may--if it will-~bchold the throne OF God
and the glory Of Him who SITS thereon, ,.or
else only the blackness, of darkness; for in
this kingdom where the soul reigns alone,
even as in the New Jerusalemy there is no
radiance ofsun or moon, but Cop and LAMB
are the light thereof, and ii they shine not
upon ii, all is dark. And it hath two path
ways wherein to choose It's pTlgrimage---
the FIRST strewed with thorns that have fall
len from the Grown of ONE who went bfore
upon that steep ascent. and the other thick
with blossoms that intoxicate she senses,
with sweet bnt poisonous perfume. And
too surely is it in this hidden life of thought
and not in the existence of outward action,
that the eternal destiny is accomplihed.--
PriS0nee Of Hope.

A Revolving Decd.

Awoman, says the DAYTON Journrl, came
on the cars at Cincinnati, on Wednesday
morning, whose condition was so evident to
Conductor briggs, that seeing her distress
he offered to stop the train at several stations,
long enough to see her comfortably accom-.
modated, and send for a physician. She de.
cined his ofers-and seeing her trouble i'm
creasing, he suggested that she should retire
to the saloon, and leave the door partly open,
SO that she could call him at any time as he
was pessing through the cars. and he would
stop the train, and have her s, itably provi-
ded for. She entered the saloon, and hearing
nothing from her for nearly an hour, he open.
ed the door and beheld the most unmistakable
evidence that she had become a mother, but
he did not see the infant. He hastily with
drew, a nd the train soon after reached Day.
ton, when the woman, without assistance,
and without child, left the car, and entered
the Sandusky train, as she said. to 90 to En-.
on. Il is supposed that she killed her child
aud threw the body out of the car.
The whole affair 10 most horrible and re.
voliing in its details. The humane endeavors
Of Conductor briggs, in behalf cf the unfor.
tunate, il not guilty woman, arc worthy oful
praise.

The Speaker.


The election of Lynn Boyd, as Speaker of
the present Congress, will doubtless surprise
the large mass of the Young Democracy
From the unanimous vote which he received,
we infer he could have had little or no oppo.
sition on the formal and final ballotings. His
chances for the place have been regarded Of
late as exceeding slim, and by what strange
and sudden move he became so populay, we
are at a loss to determine.
Mr.. Boyd is man of good abilities as a
legislator, but not of the ready and decisive
turn Of mind TO render him efficient as pre-
siding officer; especially over SO unwieldy and
boisterous body as the House OF Represen-
tatives has been OF recent years. The pres.
eut Congress can probably boast of more
"rowdies' and fa ctious ho,-headed politicians
than ever 9raced our National Councils be.
