questions, on which depended his life.
So few hours to accomplish so much
death, the price Of failure, together
with desire to establish his reputation,
all wrought upon his mental and physi-
cal frame to such a degree that he was
soon in a fever of excitement. He had
almost buried himself in his books
scraps of paper with figures and signs
covered his tables, and lay scattered on
the foor-yet the result was unattained.
Still more intense grew the excitement,
as he thought, figured and read, while
the preparation stood in large droops
upon his forehead, and rolled down his
face. lie was vcrging towards despair
his whole system trembling with ner-
yous agitation, when his servant enter
ing the room, and alarmed at the wild
and exciting look Of his master, eagerly
| inquired the cause. Hurrie dly, he re-
lated what had happened = the strange
questions, the fearful penalty. Instead,
however,, Of partaking Of his masters
emotion, the servant very cody replied ::
Is that all the trouble: Leave the
matter to me, I'll answer for YOU
After some conversation, it was pro-
posed by the servant to adopt the mas
ter's habit, and meet the King at the
appointed hour. This offer was readily
acceded to !y the Priest, who, tic speak
tbs truth, thought more Of his own
head than of his servants, just at that
moment. Disguised as the Professor,
the servant meat the King, and told
hila he vas ready to answer his ques-
tons.
"rell me, then,'' said the King,
Low many baskets Of earth are in yon-
der mountain =
THAT depends, your Majesty, on cir
cumstanccs.'
'Thc size of the basket. IF one is as
large as the mountain, one will contain
it. If half as large, two if one fourth,
four. &c.
The King was so much amused at
sIe reply, that he expressed himself sat
is6ed, and proceeded to the second
question.
sT-n ne how much the King is
worth =
'WslI, your Majesty, jesus Christ
was sid for thirty pieces OF silver, and
ne was the King of Heaven and Earth ;
SO conclude you are worth about one
piece:
To tits answer the King could not
| object, and he was nevertheless so
pleased with the wit displayed, that he
said
Very well, sir; but can you answer
my last question, and tell me of what
AIN now ;hinking?'
Most certainly, your Majesty. You
are now thinking that you are talking
with the Priest Professor, whereas it is
only his servant.
1t is unnecessary to add that both
heads were safely on their shoulders,
and both received rich tokens of kingly
favor.

THE Tree THAT NEVER FADEs.-
"Mary" said George, "ncxt summer l

long as 1 live. I will have bird next
summer, and that will stay all WINTER
"Georgc don't you remember my

"Well I don't see as we can love any,

the bird, and l loved him better than
any bird, or tree, or flower. Oh! I
wish we could have something to love
that wouldn't die -
The day passed. During the school
hours George and Mary had almost
forgotten that their tree was dying but
at evening, as they drew their chairs to
the table where their mother was sitting,
and began to arrange she seeds they had
been gathering, the remembrance ofthe
tree came upon them.
"Mother,' said Mary, ''you may give
these seeds to cousin John; never

pure river Of water, clear as crystal, and
on each side Of the river is the tree Of

garden is Hearen. Tier you may
love, and love forever. There will be
no death-no fading there. Let your

HON. nIRAsr wALBRIDGE.

A recent convention held in the district
represented in Congress by General Hiram
Walbridge, unanimously adopted the following
resolution sfqsb
I" Resolred, That this convention take plea
sure in endorsing the straightforward, inde-
pendent thoroughly democratic, and consistent
course of General Hiram Walbridge, their pre-
sent representative in Congress, and regret his
voluntary withdrawal, on account Of private
business, at this time from public life-a retire
ment which we trust will be brief, and that in
the councils Of the nation we may again have
the benefit of his judgment, his attachments,
and his integrity in advancing the honor and
interests of the country"
This resolution is well nerited tribute to
General Walbridge. He has proved himself
an able aud faithful representative. Popular
in Congress and out Of Congress, his voluntary
retirement from public life will be generally re-
GREETED.

B6- The Courier and Enquirer, in speak
ing of the loss of the Arctic and the rescue of
the few passengers who were happily saved,
remarks that one of the most remarkable and
touching incidents in this strange eventful
story, is the saving Of Captain Luce and the
few of his companions who had been able to
endure the trial Of those fearful nights which
succeeded the wreck, by Captain Russell, who
not long since was himself saved by steamer
of the Collins line--the Pacific, Captain Nye.
1t seems almost like the perfection Of plan to
work out poetical justice, that the man who
owes his life to one Of these very steamers
should have an opportunity of repaying his
debt by saving from such imminent peril a
commander in the line. 1t was the only incl
dent wanting to complete the sad dramatic in
terest Of the tale.

A CONTRAST.

From one end Of the country to the other
the infamous conduct of the Arctics crew in
Selling the boats to save themselves, while the
men, women, and children on board were left
to perish, has excited a just indignation. They
are denounced everywhere and by everybody.
The contrast between them and the crew Of
steamer lost not many months since, on the
coast Of Africa, is thus graphically and beauti-
fully presented by the New York Eruessy
aThe circumstances connected with the loss Of
the British steamer Birkenhead, on the coast Of
Africa, not many months since, are still fresh
in the memories Of all. The steamer struck
on hidden rock, stove plank at the bows,
and went TO the bottom, we believe, in half an
hours time. There was regiment Of troops
on board. As soon as the alarm was given,
and II became apparent that the ships fate was
sealed, the roll of the drum called the soldiers
20 arms on the upper deck. That call was
promptly obeyed, though every gallant heart
there knew that it was his death summons.
There they stood as il in battle array--a mo-
tionless mass Of brave men--men who we're
men indeed. The ship every moment was GO
ing down and down, but there were no traitors;
no deserters, no cravens there; The women
and children were got into the boats, and were
all, or nearly all, saved there we're no boats
for the troops, but there was no panic, no
blancbed, pale, quivering lips among them,
Down went the ship, and down went that heroic
band, shoulder to shoulder, 6ring Jeu de joie

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public, is attracting great attention. not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number Of people who are af-
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for a very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard of it.
From our own knowledge of DIR. Eastman's char
acter and practice, have no doubt that the med.
icne deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove TO be great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial.--Lyan Mems, December 90, 1853 y

New York, Oct. 17.--Capt. Luce arrived at his
home at Yonkers, last night, and was enthusiast.
cally received along the route. He gives many
interesting details, and thinks that more have been
picked up and taken 10 England. He praises the
conduct of young Holland, who fired the signal
guns, very warmly. He saw Mr.. Chrnger, Of Gin
cinnaii, on deck when the steamer was going
down. Mr.. and Mrs. Petrie were also close 10
hin,Aas the waves engulphed him.
Captain Luce further adds that the smallest boat
which left the ship with the party OF engineers
was capable Of carrying than the largest boat
took away. There were enough TO have saved
300 safely. t
The captain states, in dispatch received from
him, that he will be in the city this evening or to-
morrow. He is in good health, but suffers greatly
from fatigue, exposure, and depression Of spirits.
He has little or no hopes ofihe safely Of any more
OF the 200 who were on the deck OF the steamer
when she went down. The conduct Of his crew
he denounces as most Infamous and he is of
opinion that two-thrds of all on board could have
been saved had he been able TO controlthem. The
fate of the ladies' and children who were so cruelty
deserted weighs heavily on his spirits.
