Of war he proposed to arm and equip

SELr1sHNEss UNcHRIsr1AN.-Live
for some purpose in the world. Act
your part well. Conduct yourself so
that you will be missed with sorrow
when you are gone. Muititudes Of
our species are living in such selfish
manner that they are not likely to be
remembered after their disappearance.
They leave behind them scarcely any
trace of their existence, but are for
gotten almost as though they had new
er been. They are. while they live,
like one pebble lying unobserved
among a million on shore, and when
they die, thsY arc like that same peb-
bic thrown into the sea, which just
ruffles the surface, sinks and is forgotten
without being missed from the beach.
They are neither regretted by the rich,
wanted by the poor, nor celebrated by
the learned. Who has been the better
of life? Whose tears nave dried up ?
Whose wants supplied? Who would
unbar the gate ofiife, to re-admit them
to existence Or what face would
greet them back with smile ? Wret.
ched, unproductive model of existence i?
Sel6shness is its own curse; it is a
starving vice. The man who does no
good, gets none. He is like the de-
sert, neither yielding fruit, nor seeing
when good cometh; stunned, dwar-
fish miserable shrub.

ORIGIN OF THE DARK LANTHERN'
PARrY.-In the School History Of
the United States" by A. Derald, o
new work, highly recommended by
Bishop Potter and other eminent scho'
lars, we end the following on page
121. 1t occurs in the account given
Of the battle of Bunker Hill:
It was rumored in the American
camp that on the night Of the 18th, Of
June, General Gage intended to seize
and fortify Bunker Hill. The Amer
cans determined to anticipate him.
On the evening Of the 10th Of June
a party of troops commanded by Col.
Prescott. assembled at Cambridge,
ready for the work. After a prayer
from the President of Harvard College
with working tools, muskets and
DARK LANTERNS, they silently
proceeded to the peninsula Of Charles
ton.
So it seems says the Louisville Jour
nal, the Dark Lantern Party" bears
even date with the Revolution. The
Dark Lanterns in use by this genera
ton of Americans are perfect models
of the Bunker Hill patent.
