signature of 'Fair Play" in which the writer
charges that there WAS convention of tho Sons of

for the Legislature; aud Fair Play appears to be
anxious to know what was done in that conyen-
tinn. He says he has been II Son of Temper

yenion of the Sons of temperance than am

nication of FAR Play :" aud Ms he is SO much
ahead of me ON that subject, md feeling no great
interest myself ubout the proceedings Of that

The storm of persecution ragged with in
creased violence. The wrath of the Emperor
knew no bounds. Nothing short of the ami
hilation of the Sscursed Sect throughout the
empire, seemed TO be his aim.
Detachments of soldiers, OF the most fero-
cious and depraved characters, had been
sent into the neishboring towns and villages,
to bring buund TO Rome all whom they found
of the new faith, men, women, and children.
Letters, moreover, had been despatched to
all his provinces, nigh and remote, authoriz-
ing the governors thereof, to arrest and put to
death all Of that name. Agents, also, of the
Emperor's own choosing, had been sent to
stir up the minds Of the people against them,
by their slanderous reports and their infama-
tory harangues.
There was hand ofprovidence, however, at
1yorl-strctched out in the midst Of this scene
OF suffering and commotion. There was a
wonderful working in the hearts of such as
the Lord would have to be saved-such as he
purposed sending through the fires of martyr
dom TO their robes and crowns. There was
indeed rapid enlisting and marShalling Of
his blood-bought children, to make the might
lest displays of patient suffering and unyield-
ing valor the world had ever witnessed while,
ON She other hand, the enemy, abandoned to a
blindness, cruel, infatuated, horrid, was con
centrating its forces in every place.
Hence, the multitudes already put to death
IN Rome had not, in the least, diminished their
numbers, nor daunted the zeal of the survi-
vers. On the contrary, their numbers were
multiplying with untold rapidity and in the
catacombs-in the chamber of Prytheus, eve
rywhere, night and day, thousands were flock
ing around the new-erected standard of the
cross.
This was exceedingly annoying 70 the En-
psror, aud he had stamped and stormed in his
Falace, and ragged and foamed in the Forum.
his soldiers and slaves trembied in his pres
ehce, and never did poor creatures toll with
more untiring zeal to satiate a tyrants thirst

SINGULAR WILL.-An English miser lately
died in London, leaving the following wilI II
give and bequeath unto my nephew, my black
coat; l give and bequeath to my niece the fan
mel waist-coat | now wear; give and bequeath
to each ofmy sisters grandchildren, one of the
little earthen poots on the top of my wardrobe;
| give and bequeath to my sister, as a token of
the affection | have always felt for her, the old
brown stone jug at the head of my bed. . The
disappointment of the legatees, when this
strange will was read may easily be imagined.
The deceased was spoken of by all in way by
no means fiattering to him; and his sister, in
fit of anger gave the brown jug kick, which
broke it in pieces, when To- a stream of guineas
poured out of it, and the general disappointment
gave way to Joy. Each hurried to examine his
or her legacy, and the flannel waist-coat and
the little earthen pots were found eaquaily
well filled,-the testator, having only wished
to amuse them in an agreeable manner.

The BEARD.-Dr. Sanborn, of Andoyer, ably
defends the beard in a late number Of the BoS-
ton Medical and Surgical Journal He takes
the ground that the custom of shaving the
beard is always attended or followed by mar
ked deterioration in the physical organization,
not only OF the existing race of people but of
the race to come. He says that the aborigi-
nal inhabitants of our soil and climate were
brave, powerful and numerous; but they up
rooted the beard from their faces and conse-
GuentIy grew more and more effeminatc with
every generation, and until they became an
easy prey to their enemies, are themselves
uprooted from the face OF the earth. He cites
the Chinese as a people who have been shorn
Of their locks and their strength, till as na-
ton they have mere nominal existence; and
he says of the Jews, whose creed il is to pre-
serve unmarried .sthe corner OF their boards, :"
that he never saw a case Of pauperism, pre-
mature disease among them. The nobility of
Spain adopted the habit of shaving through
courtesy TO their beardIcss prince. The mass
were of course subjected to the humiliating
process, but expressed their repugnance to
the outrage in the welIknown proverb-'Since
we have lost our boards we have lost our
souls,' that is ourselves, our identity. We
are rather soulless slaves than the men our
Maker made and designed us to be.
