YOUNG AMERICA.

certain Judge, while attending Court in a
shire town, was passing along the road where a
boy was letting down the bars TO drive some cat
tie in. His father stood in the door of his house,
on the opposite side of The road, and seeing
what his hopeful boy was doing, shouted out
"John, don't you drive the cattle in there;
told you TO put them in the pasture behind The
house"
The boy took no notice whatever of the re-
monstraHce, and his father repeated the order
in louder tone, without the least effect, and
third time gave orders not to drive the cattle in
there. The son didn't even deign TO look up,
and disobeyed the parental injunction with
coolness which positively shocked the Judge,
who, looking at the culPrit, said, in a tone OF
official duty:
''Boy, don't you hear your father speaking to
you?''
"Oh, y-a-a-s," replied the youth, casting
glance at the Judge and then at the parent,
'sbut don't mind what he says. Mother don't

HIST ORICAL.
BURS UNDER THE SADDLE.
A SKETCH or THE REVOLUTION.

During the month OF March, ITS, the Brit
sh army being at Philadelphia, and the Amer
lean forces at Valley Forge, the American COM
nlander-in-chief was desirous of having some
information concerning the state of affairs in
the city, and desired Captain Allen M'Lane to
pick him out few trusty men for the purpose.
M'Tane selected Eve Of his own men, with Ser
geant John Marks for leader, and sent the lat
ter 10 headquarters to receive instructions.
Marks was very young man to be entrusted
with important services, being only twenty
two wears of age but M'Lane had frequently
marked his conduct in camp and field, had
made himself we'll acquainted with hs Charac-
ter, and knew that he could be thoroughly re-
lied on. Marks was a lank, bony fellow, with
high cheek bones, square jaw, and rather large
mouth but he had fine expressive eye, his
features were exceedingly noble, and has coun-
tenance entirely under his control. With this
he possessed great powers Of mlmicry, which
he used 10 show off frequently for the amuse-
ment Of his comrades, and had reputation for
shrewdness His muscular system had not re-
cpiyed its full development but his habits had
made him almost as active as a panther. He
was fully instructed by General Washington
as to the information desired, and left camp at
dark, arriving in a short while at Port Kennedy,
on the Schuylkill AT that point he struck a
cross the country, and by means of by-ways,
with which he was we'll acquainted, having
been raised in the neghborhood, evaded the
scouting parties Of the enemy, and arrived at
Manua, soon after dark. Here he posted his
little troop, in cedar hollow, overlooking the
river while he, IN the disguise of country
man, with sack of vegetables, which be bad
stolen from garden in the neighborhood, rode
into the city. He not only escaped detection,
but managed 10 sell his vegetables to member
Of Howe's staff, was taken to the generals pres
ence, and in return for false information in re-
gard TO Washington's movements, managed to
learn some facts of importance. Promising TO
return in few days, with more vegetables, he
was enabled to leave the town lelSurely, with
passport in his pocket, and some sugar, coffee
and other articles of like nature in his sack
He Joined his men without suspicion about
night-faI, and after dark the little party set
out on its return.
Now, had Marks kept in the course BY which
It came, it is possible he could have reached

while she pursues her giddy round of amnse-
ment Not SO with our home mother, BLESSINGS
be upon her head. The heart warns to see her
IN her daily routine of pleasant duties.
How pleasantly she sits day after day, shap-
ing aud sewing some little article for the use and
adornment OF her little flock And how proud
and pleased is each little recipient of her kind
ness. How the little faces dimple with plea

mamma decks them with her own hands. in The
new dress she has made How much warmer

THE NEEDLES EYE AND CAMEL.

cit is easier for camel to 60 through the
eve Of a needle, than for rich man to enter in
TO the kingdom of heaven"
There are thousands who read this passage,
but receive from it no definite idea. Various
explanations have been given of ii, none OF
which ever seemed 10 us TO convey the true
meaning, showing the beauty and force of the
figure. All admit that it is impossible for a
camel TO go through a needles eye, yet we can
not doubt that some men who are rich will be
saved. We have met, somewhere in our read
ing, with an explanation that NE regard as pos
sbly the true one, which is this.
We are informed by travellers, that all the
cities OF the East are surrounded by high and
massive walls. At certain points these have
paSsways for the exit and entrance of The in
habitants. These passways, in times of peace,
were open in the day, but closed at night. By
the side Of these large entrances were those
that were much smaller, used by foot passen-
gers and those who had occasion to go in and
out at night; they were called the "needle's
eye" A camel, without any burden, can pass
through these, yet with much difficulty. Now,
IT is not impossible for rich man 10 enter hear-
en-; for we trust that there are many already in
the Paradise OF God, who consecrated their
Wtdtth 10 tue service Oh ChElSt, ana looked 10
Hin alone for salvation. But just as the camel
must be relieved of his load before he can pass
through the "needle's eye" SO the rich man
must lay off his heart the riches OF this world,
and consecrate them TO the services and glory
of Cod for ii is impossible 10 serve Him and
mammon. 1t is much easier for a camel TO 60
through the ''needIe's eye" What, then, will
become Of these professors whose hearts are set
on this world Worldly-minded, money-lov-
ing Christians, we leave you to ponder this SOL
emn question. 1t is one of deep and eteranal
importance TO you

BLACKBERRY WINE.

There is no wine equal to the blackberry
wine when properly made, either in flavor or
for medicinal purposes, and all persons who
can conveniently do SO, should manufacture
enough for their own use every year, as ii is in
valuable in Sickness as a tonic, and nothing is a
better remedy for bowel diseases. We there-
fore give the receipt for making it, and having
tried 1t ourselves, we speak advisedly on the
subject "Measure your berries and bruise
them; to every gallon adding one quart of boil
ing water. Let the mixture stand for twenty
four hours, stirring occasionally; then strain off
the liquor into cask, TO every gallon adding
two pounds of sugar. cork tight, and let it stand
till the following October, and you will have

or boiling, that will make lips smack as they

QUESTIONS FOR WIFE.-Do you reeolIect
what your feelings were Immediately after you
had spoken the first unkind word to your hus-
band Did you not feel ashamed and grieved,
and yet too proud to admit it That was, is,
and ever will be your evil genius It is the
temper which labors incessantly to destroy your
peace, which cheats you with an evil deIusion
that your h0sband deserved your anger, when he
really most required your love. 1t is the cam
Ger which feeds on those unspeakable emotions
you felt on the first pressure OF his hand and lip.
Nerer forget the manner in which the duties
Of that calling can alone be fulfilled. II your
husband is hasty, your example ofPatience will
chide as well as teach him. Your violence may
ALLEVIATE his heart, and your neglect impel him
10 desperation. Your soothing will redeem him
your softnesS subdue him: and the good-na-
tured twinkle OF those eyes, now filling beaut-
fully with priceless tears, will make him all
your own.
