The records Of ancient Greece and Rome

The records of ancient Greece and Rome
do not exhibit nobler instance Of patriotism
than is contained III the following inscription
found upon grave-stone at New London,
Connecticut. No wonder our revolutionary
fathers were iuvincible, while they were ac-
tuated By suca motives as are recorded -
con the sob of October, 1882, 1900
English fell upon this town by fire and sword;
100 Americans defended the fort for Il whole
day, but in the evening about four O'Clock,
the commander o. the besieged delivered up
his sword to an Englisaman, who Immediate
ly stabbed him. All his comrades were put
TO the sword. A line Of powder was then
laid from the magazine to the sea, there TO
be lighted, and blow Che fortress into the air.
William Hoffman, who lay not far distant,
with three strokes of the bayonet in his body,
said to one of his wounded friends who was
still alive We will cndeavor to crawl to
this line, and thus we will completely wei
/ the powder with blood, and, with the life
that still remains in MS, save the fort and
magazine, and perhaps few of our comrades
who are only wounded. He alone had
strength to accomplish this noble design
In his Both year, he died on the powder that
he had over-fowed with his own blood
His friends, and seven of his wounded coin
panions by that means had their lives pre-
served"
After this narrative are the following words
in large capitals -

RALM no THE onpnAN HEART.

The sweetest balm to the orphan heart
when contemplating the tomb of a departed
parent, is to be able to lit the heart to God
and feel, as in is presence, that the heat
which now lies cold in death was never grie-
we'd by disobediepce from the surviving child
On the contrary how sad is it to feel that
perhaps our kindness may have FASTENED to
bring down those grey hairs with sorrow to
the grave

EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.


We would rather, infinitely rather. see a
child of six or seven years, hale and strong
with clear ruddy skin, aud other marks OF
sound physical education, who had not been
sent to learn his letters. and could not distiu-
guish \ from Il than we would to see one
pale, delicate looking, lethargic in his move
mcnts. even though he could repeat whole
pages by rote, aye, or overland We once
knew such an instance-read Homer with his
Iather In looking forward to their future
lives giving them the same facilities for ac
curing information, and the brain to be much
the same in them both we would uuhestat
ingly give it as our opinion, that in the long
run, the former would distance the latter in
mental capacity, and distinguish h;oself more
in whatever path of iotellertual usefulness he
might be pleased to pursue.

An old Congregationalist minister Of the
the Gospel, just closing the 77th year Of his
age, who is engaged in preparing book fur
publication in the city Of New York, has been
in the habit, for short time past, og ching
at a cofee-house, where, at that hour If the
day rnifornly company Of more 81 less so
Der gentlemen, ofvarious ages, were engaged
III kind Of game at a table IN the niddle Of
the room, merely for pastime, without bet or
wraHgling among them. On the last day Of
September, at noon, there were but two at
the galne--one yonngerly man from Europe,
and a man Of upwards Of sixty years Of are
who pleasantly busted themselves Id their
mode Of pastine, while the old minister Was
taking his midday repast. A thought came
into his mind on the precious value Of time,
which was 50 often wasted is though useless,
good for nothing. This led him at the close
Of his repast to step to that table, and put
the following question to the gentI eaen al
their play
"What value would you SGT on sixty min
utes Of time if you could be assured this, ard
this one hour only, were allotted you to seek
and secure an eternal interest in the king
dom Of heaven ~
They both appeared as,onished, but made
no definite reply, except few words b. the
youngest, who said
i ssThat is solemn question:
| AT the coaee-table next day, at noon, that
/ youngerly man said to the old minister
.'Do you remember your question yester-
day noon'
81 ao.o
swell, that old man that was then play
ing pastiine with NE was taken i'll in the az
terneon, a doctor visited him, and about one
O'Clock at night he died Y
!, sBoast not myself of TOMORROW, for thou
knowest not what a day may bring forth. -
The above statement may be relied on as
fact. Let the question which was put ID
those men be considered, estimated, and inn
proved BY every vaster of precious time
which God has given, to seek and secure al
inheritance in the kingdom Of heaven
"Nhat is man profted if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul Or, what shall
man give in exchange for his soul -
Sixty ninutes-the last hour Of an impeni-
tent sinners lifc-what is that hour worth
