COLONEL RAY AND THE DRAG0oN.
AN INCIDENT OF TILE 8REyOLUJTON


3 Colonel David Ray, at the battle of
Monmouth CHI, camo near losing his
head in his anxiety to acquire, by right Of
conquest, the property of another. The
story, as related by himself to afriend, was
nearly in manner as follows The gallant
Colonel was in commend Of a body Of artil-
Is slerists, and was accommodating the enemy
/. from the southern extremity of "a rise of
ground, ON which was posted a regiment
.Ofcontinental infantry, opposed to regi-
mcnt OF the enemy cavalry, which flahEod

mounted upon, q noble bay horse, but the

and vafious other circumstances combined,
had served to use him up; and he was an
Sinsafe animal to ride on such occasions as
that, being given to shying, and various
othcr tricks, in the presence of an enemy.

by one taken from the enemy, should OPP

from making first effort andwho, if thoy
could have been induced TO begin, would,
in all probability, have gone great lengths
in the careor of fames The fact is, that to
do anything in this world worth doing, we
must not stand back, shiveriug, and thiuk-
ing of tho cold and the danger, but jump
in and scramble through as wcllas we can.
1t will not do to be perpetually calculating
tasks, aud adjusting nice chances; it did
very well before the food, when a man
could consult his friends upon an intended
publication for a hundred and fifty years.,
and then live to sec its success afterward !;
but at prcsenta man waits, and doubts, and
hcsitates, and consults his brother, and his
uncle, and particular friends, till, one, fine,
day, he finds he is sixty years of age; that
he has lost so much time i'll consulting his
first cousin and particular friends, that he
has no more time to follow their advice"
AmUMoRoUs young man was driving
horse which was in tie habit of stoppingat
every house on tho roadside. Passing a
country tavern, where were collected to-.
gether some dozen countrymeD, the beast,
as usual, ran opposite the door, and then
stopped in spite ofthe young man, who APP.
Piled the whip with all his might to drive
the horse on. The men on the porch com
mcnced hearty laugh, and some inquired
ifhe would sell the horse. "Yes," replied
the young man; "buS connot recommend
him, as he, once belonged TO butcherand
stops wherever he hears tho calves bleat.p
The rowdrctired to the bar in silence.

WoRDS,--Soft words soften the soul
Angry words arc fuel to the flame of wrath
and make it blaze moro freely Kind
words make other people good-natured--
cold words freeze people and hot words
scOrch them, and bitter words make thcnl
wmthful. There is such rush of all 9TH
or kinds of words, that it'scems desirable
to give Kind words chance among them
There are vain words, and hasty words, and
spitcful words, and silly words, and bois-
terous words, and warlikc words Kind
words also produce their image on mems
souls, and beautiful image it is. They
soothe, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
They shame him out of his sour, and mo-
rose, and unkind feelings. We have not
yet begun to use kind words in such abun-
dance as they ought to be used.
TuN saying :" that there is moro pleasure
giving than receiving" is suppose to APP
ply chiohy TO kicks, medicine, and advice.
THERE are two things about which you
should never grumblc; tho first is that
which you cannot help, and the other that
which you can help.
REYNOLDS, the dramatist, observing the
tlinncss of the house, at one of his pieces,
said; al suppose tbs owing to the war"
"No,'' was the reply; cts owing to the
