SANDER.

Yes you pass it along whether you be-
lieve it or not; and that one-sided whis-
per against the character of virtuous fe-
male. You don't believe it, but you will
use your influence to bear up the false re-
port and pass it on the current. Strange
creatures are mankind. How many rep
utations have been lost by surmise. How
many hearts have bled by whisper. How
many benevolent deeds have been chilled
by the shrug of a shoulder. How many
individuals have been stunned by gen.
tie, mysterious. hint. How many chaste
bosoms have been wrung with grief at a
single nod. How many graves have been
dug by false report.
Yet you will pass the SANDER along
You will keep it above the water by a
wag of your tongue when you might sink
it forever. Destroy the passion for tale
telling, we pray Lisp not word that
may injure the character of another. Be
determined to listen to no story that is
repeated to the injury of another. and as
far as you are concerned, the SANDER
will die. But tell it once and it may go
as on the wings Of the wind, increasing
with each breath, till it has circulated
through State. and has brought to the
grave one who might have been blessing
to the whole world"

A Brave Little Bow.

With what pleasure we transfer to our
columns the following beautiful incident,
of the courage in child. 1T is a charm.
ing relief. after reading through fearful
records of crime. That boy if he lives
will make his mark in the world.
/ love a brave boy. I don't mean a
rash boy who PUSHES into danger without
thinking. Nor do mean clustering
boy, whose words are larger than his
deeds. But do mean boy who meyer
shrinks from dangers which he must meet,
who keeps cool when most boys would
get excited. and who fixes. his mind more
on the best means of getting out Of bad
fix than in trouble itself. / have read of
such boy lately, and I will tell you what
he did.
This boys name Is Gnise. He lives at
Crosse Isle, near Detroit, he was on the
dock, when seeing storm coming up, he
took refuge under the deck of sail boat
belonging TO F. W. Backus, lying at the
dock, with the sail hoisted. In moment
after the squall struck her. when she
broke from her mornings, and started to-
WafuS Cne open laKe.
When first seen she was nearly half
way across the river. and the little fellow
had crawled from his place of shelter, and
taken his place at the helm, endeavoring
to direct the course towards the shore
Soon the rain came down in torrents; the
wind had increased to perfect hurricane
and the banks OF the river were lined
with wailing women and children, and
strong men. who were powerless lockers
on. Not boat was Immediately within
reach. The sail boat had almost reached
Stony Island, and the hearts Of all the
lockers on were for moment relieved,
expecting to see her go ashore, when all
at once she preached to, and came abrupt
ly around again, heading for Crosse Isle.
As the boom settled around, the anx-
ious spectators held their breath; for a
moment the head Of the little pilot disap-
peared. only again to re-appear, holding
manfully to the helm. Directly another
and 6ercer squall struck the sail; the
boat was thrown upon her beam ends, and
the sail and boom in the water, and cries
Of" he is lost, " he is gone" were heard
on all sides.
Still the gallant bark held her way,
again she went about, and took her course
towards Maiden, and again her brave
young pilot was plainly seen standing al
her helm. By this time boat had been
manned, and put off to the rescue; but be
fore getting any distance into the river
the sail boat took another turn, heading
again towards home: she ran straight to
the middle Of the river, when Mr.. f.. w
Backuss and H. Gray, Esq, ran down to
the bank and made signs to keep the helm
up or down, as the meandering Of the
boat required.
He obeyed the signs like an old salt
and in few minutes the boat was run
into shallow water, when the gentlemen
named above were enabled to wade or
board, and in little time the 10Y was il
the arms OF his mother, who had been al
almost distracted spectator of the scene
In answer to a question as to how he wal

And Mirian"-she sat alone in the
darkness Of the room where she was con-
lined, q world OF despair and deepest ag.
ony upon her countenance, her soul filed
with emotions of the most narrowing
kind. Poor Miriam, she could not weep,
though her heart seemed breaking, for
the burning passion of her soul seemed to
scorch the very fountain of her tears.
She felt that there was no way of es-
cape; for even were her hands loose it
would be difficult, as it was impossible.
And she. too prayed. There was one
All powerful, and in the agony of her
soul she cried
+" Keep me, oh Lord. from the hands of
the wicked. AS for the head of those
that compass me about let the mischief of
the wicked fail into their own nets"
And by and by she grew calm; holy
trust filled her soul; she tllought. Of her
father, as perhaps, even then walking the
streets of the New Jerusalem by the side
OF her angel mother. O! she felt how
sweet to lie down in the grave, too.
Then, again, she thought of him, the
only one to grieve if she should die,
" Harryl Harry" she exclaimed in ago.
ny, Harry, God grant he may not, also
be taken by these tories. A sad fate for
one so good and brave"
All, Miriam knew not, at that very mo-
ment, that the same roof sheltered them
both; she feared he would arrive and be
taken By surprise, but thought not whal
had already been.
While thus engaged with her thoughts
she heard the key turn in the lock of the
door, and thenext moment Merwick stood
before her.

TRYING TO THE BAsTE.-An Irishman,
fresh from the Green Isle, having sufficient
means to provide himself with horse and
cart, (the latter a kind he probably mover
saw before) went to work on public road
Being directed by the overseer to move a pile
Of stones near by, and deposit them in a
gully at the side Of the road, he forthwith
loaded his cart, drove up TO the place, and
had nearly finished throwing out his load
"by hand" when the boss told him that was
not the way-ho must dump his load all at
once.
Paddy replied that he would know "bcth-
er" next time.
After loading again he drove to the chasm,
put his shoulder under the hub Of the wheel,
and upset tho cart, horse and all into the gull
ly. Scratching his head and looking doubt
fully at his struggling horse below him, he
remarked that it was a mighty expeditions
way, but "begora, it must be very trying to
tho baste."

Going to tie Show under Difficulties,

The Cincinnati Enquirer tells the follow

Snowman, Yankee Robinson.
This inimitable circus Snowman writes us III
regard TO a curious incident that happened
while his company WAS in Evansville. He
says young man walked from neigbboring
town. ten miles distant, to that city to get
steam" fit to bring bis girl to the circus. He
arrived at half past five o'clock, and patient
ly waited till tho ''head man" of the stable
could be called up. He took the team, went
after his girl, and returned in season to see
the circus come into the city. They spent
the day in seeing the sights-elephants, po-
nies, and several or moro curiosities not spec
flied in the flaming bills-and after the per-
tormance, retired, he to return the horse and
walk back. Talk about swimming the Hell
lespont, and add the witchery of song to
make it more romantic! The fellow who
swan that small sheet of water was 10 lover
at all besides the youth that walks twenty
miles on hot July day TO give the idol of
his heart chance 10 go in city style to SEQ
the circus!

How TO DE HAPPY.---There is some sense

most young men of this age. "Reader," says
he, 81 have seen great deal and felt more
l have talked and travelled, and enjoyed and
suffered with all sorts Of people; have been
on the sea and in it, and under it; have been
laughed at, shot at, quarreled at, praised,
blamed, abused; have been blown at, and
blown up; have had much and had littlc-so
much as TO enjoy nothing SO little that l
would have enjoeyd crust of bread, be-
cause the ship went to the bottom with cv-
ry thing i'll it, leaving me to float to n sand
bank and then again, have wandered over
the earth, and under it, and through it, its
caves ard its dungeons and darkness after
stalagmities and stalactites; after specimens
Of black rocks and white ones, blue stones
and grey; lived for months on desert islands
just for the purpose of picking up new shells
on tho beach. which the tide of~night never
failed to leave behind it. In those bygone,
days when had the great rcquisiter of an en-
joying traveller, to with plenty of time, plen-
ty of patience, and plenty of money, SO if the
the coach turned over and smashed up,
could afford TO wait until another could
be had, or if the ship went to the bottom
Instead Of to distant port, twas just the
same to me, because if wasn't at one place
was at another and there was always some
strange rock to look at, some queer dip
that set me calculating how many horse
power it required to make that rock Just turn
up so, and all the million inquiries which
geology, astronomy, concLolcgy, and dozen
other dry names suggcste which not only
had the effect TO keep mo from fretting, but
kept me in an interested humor, well, in all
these different situations, and as many more,
I have found out, among others, three things:
1st. That man out of money can't he
happy. L, -.
2nd. Thvt man out Of health can't be
happy.
3rd. That man without wife can't be
happy.
Therefore have ceme to tho conclusion
that the best way to he happy is to take care
of your health, keep out of debt and get a
wife.

8. And with our discipline as it is" we
do not quite see tho Methodistical propriety
of admitting slsveholding ministers Tor even,
perhaps, the ministers Of pro-slavery church,
into our pulpits. These men, alas are guilty
of the great evil Of slavery. Under our Dis.
ciplinc, they could not be ordained. They
are rejected on moral grounds. How, then,
can we admit 10 our pulpits men held un-
suitable to be admitted to our ministry? The
very ground on which our separation from the
Church, South, took place was, our solemn,
conscientious refusal to accept a ministry Or
dained by slaveholding hands. What consis-
tency, then, in accepting ministry in detail
which we rejected in massG
Z. Nor do we see what Disciplinary dis.
cretion is allowed to any authorized organ of
the doctrines Of our Church, whether pulpit
or periodical, to maintain policy of silence
upon this subject. In a single instance, land
lin but one to our knowledge,) the query has
been raised, On what grounds does the Quar-
terly Review claim to be an anti-savery Or
gan of an anti-slavery ChyIch2 Our answer
falls into a most conclusive syilogism. Our
Quarterly is an organ of our entire doctrines
and Discipline; anti-slaveryism is included in
our entire doc and Disc; Ergo, our Quarter
ly is etc., @. E.. D. No Methodist man or
body can ask any one of our organs to be 81
lent or withhold the freest, fullest effort to-
ward ''Ms ertirpatiom Of slavery" without
contradicting our Discipline. No section of
our Church has any right to assume to hold
Il check-ren Of silence on this subject upon
the rest of the Church. We desire the union
of the Church. Our earnest wish is, that our
inevitable moral advance as Church should
be in solid phalanx; but that phalanx cannot
afford to he retarded by ono file refusing to
move, and pronouncing Halt, to all the rest.
Our prayer is, that such movement should be
as extended, as common, and as decisive as
our Discipline. But if any power or section
assumes to checkmate all movement, and pre-
sumes to re pronounce the old dictation of si-
lence, we tell them they are off the platform
of Methodism, and that the day of that dy-
nasty over Methodism is past-forever past.
Let our beloved Church then take herself
at her own word. Let her become conscious
Of her OVID clear meaning. Let her beware
of a stupendous insincerity or permanent
Justification other professions before the world,
and, above all, before heart searching God.
Let her not bcspot her testimomy for HOLINESS
with a pea for SIN. o, let her skirts be
clear and her garments white, as becometh
the bride of the Lamb. So shall her right
eousness 90 forth, as brightness, and her sal
yation as a lamp that burneth

How TO MAKE TEA PRoPERLY.-The prop
or way to make cup Of good tea is a matter
of some importance. The plan to be prac-
tised is this: The teapot is at once filed up
with boiling water; then the tea is put into
the pot, and is allowed to stand for five min
utes before it is used; the leaves gradually
absorb the water, and as gradually sink to
the bottom; tho result is that the tea leaves
are not scalded, as they are when boiling wa
ter is poured over them, and you get oil the
true flavor of the tea. In truth, much less
tea is required in this way than under the old
and common practice.
