THE DYiNa CMLp.--A little daughter.
ten years old, lay on her death bed. II was
hard parting with the pet of the household.
Inc golden hair, the loving blue eyes, the
bird like voice-the truthful, affectionate.

father there had always existed, not rela-
tionship merely, but the love of concenial
nature. He fell on his knees by his dar-
iings bedside, and wept bitter tears. He
strove to say, but could not, Thy will be
done II was a conflict between grace
and nature. such as he had never before
experienced. His sobs disturbed the child,
who had been lying apparently unconscious.

Papa she asked, in faint, broken tones,

great agitation, for he feared delirium was
coming on.
But please--papa, how much do I cost

To soo'h her he replied, though with q
shaking voice -

GREAT MEMoRY.-Mithridates king of
Ponius knew each one of his eighty thou
| sand soldiers by his right name.
Seneca was able to rehearse two thou
sand words which were given TO him, in
the same order.
Hortensius kept in his memory all the
prices paid on day of auction.
Hugo Grotius, on being present at a re-
view of some regiments in France, recall
ed all the names OF the single soldiers that
were there called up.
Justus Lipsius yentured to rehearse the
words Of Tacitus, from the first word to
last, forward and backward, even when
somebody was standing before him with
dawn dagger TO pierce him at the very
moment he had forgotten but an only
word. nNAE A
A Venetian lady, well known by her err
attended in church, repeated scrupulously
every word.
Racine knew by memory all the trage-
dies of Eurip.des, Bayle the whole work of
Montaigne, Hughes Doneau the Corpus
Juris, Meiastasio the entire Horatius, and
Carieret, lord lieutenant Of Ireland, all the
New Testament, from the first chapter of
Matthew to the end of the Apocalypse.
] he learned Scocliman, Thomas Dempster,
affirmed he knew not what it was to forget;
and Scaliger is told TO have apprehended
within twenty-one days the whole Home
rus, and within four months all the Greek
poets. H a
The notorious and mysterious Count of
st German surpasses them all. Any
newspaper he read once he knew by mem-
ory, and he was furnished with such si-
gantic comprehensive power of numbering
that which he retained a series Of thou
sand numbers, which he could re,iie for
ward, backward, and pulled out from the
middle. From the court of Henry III. in
Crakow. he demanded one hundred packs
of picket cards, mixed them together in dis
order, let him tell all the succession Of the
cards, ordered it to be noted down exactly
and repeated their following one after an
other, without being wrong once. He
played almos; every musical instrument of
the world, was an excellent painter, and
initiated any handwriting in the most illu-
sive manner. He had but one passion
playing all games with absolute mastery.
In chess no mortal had vanquished him,
and in faro he could break every bank by
calculation.

The Honest Girl.

In the village of N, there lived a
poor widow by the name of Bently. She
had one child, little girl about ten years
old, whose name was Mary. Near by
lived a wealthy family by the name of Lee,
that Mrs. Beatty washed for. 1t was one
cold day in December, they had just cate /
their last morsel of food, and but few
sticks of wood remained.
"Mary," said Mrs. Bently, Il wish you
wonld go and ask Mrs. Lee for the two
dollars she ows me for washing. if she
cannet pay it we shall have TO 90 without
food for / cannot get more work at presen'."
Mary put on bonnet, and threw thin
blanket over her shoulders. ard went away.

She called on Mrs. Lee and received the
money. aud was going home, when she saw
something lying in the path which shone
very brightly. She FASTENED to it, and
found a costly diamond ring. Now the
ring was one she hal often seen Mrs. Lee
wear. She said to herself, allow fortunate
am, it will make as almost rich; l am
sure no one saw me pick it up. and she will
never mind it," SO she ran along with the
ring. She carried it almost home, but her
conscience Kept telling her she was doing
wrong. Then she thought it would be bet
ter TO take it back to Mrs. Lee. So she
turned back and went to the house, aud
told Mrs. Lee she had found her ring
When Mrs. Lee saw the ring she was very
much pleased "for" said she. Il thought
should never see it again. You are good
girl Mary. and you shall be rewarded for
your honesty" So saying, she took FIVE
d'lars from her purse and offered it to
Mary bat she hesitated to take it. 81 did
only what was right" said she, "aud need
no reward Then she thought OF her poor
mother at home without food or fire, and
half resolved TO take the money. At last
Mrs. Lee prevaild on Mary to take it, and
with light heart she departed. When
Mary went along she was much happier
than before, when she had the ring. for her
conscience told her she had done right
Wien she told her mother about it, aud
gave her the money, she was very much
pleased and said, always be honest, Ma
ry."
The next morning when they arose,
there was a large box and barred at the
door, and in few moments man came
with load of wood. They We're very
much surprised; but when they went 10
the door they saw a little billet upon the
box, on which was written "To Mary
Bently for her noble conduct, from her
friend, Mrs. Lee"
They opened the tox, and it contained
several pounds of sugar, bag of rice, a
pound of tea, sack of potatoes, some ap-
pies, and crock of butter. and the barrel
contained flour. Mrs. Lee furnished Mrs.
Bently with profitable and easy employ
men', and Mary grew TO be good and
useful woman.-Ahce Hunt

WHO WAS SHE Pit was said of an
English judge that whenever man was
brought before him for any offense. he was
accustomed TO ask .'toho is she ?" being cer-
tain that in some way or other, woman
was at the bottom Of the mischief. This
story is related in another form in the Phil
adelphia Press Lord Broomfield owed
his rise TO the accident of his having play
ed well on good violonccllo, and his fall
was oceasioned iof course) by a woman.
When we say of course, we are bound to
explain, and do il by anecdote. Every one
who can read has read The Arabian Nights
Entertainments and every one must be IA
miliar with the name of Haroun Alraschid
the Eastern monarch. Once upon time,
as the story books have it, he was sitting in
his divan, when the intelligence arrived
that his favorite builder. in repairing one
of the minarets of the principal Mosque,
had fallen off the ladder and broken his
neck. Haroun heard the intelligence, and
commanded his Vizier TO inform him, with
in twenty -four hours, who she was by whom
this fatal accident had been caused Mon
arclis in the East are rather absolute, and
as the Grand Vizier knew that he would
probably be head shorter if he did not
supply the required Information within the
stipulated time, he Quilted the divan with a
heavy heart The morrow came, but he
was unable 10 satisfy the Caliph as to the
she who had caused the builders death. As
special favor, he obtained a respite Of
week, and at the expiration of that lime,
had been so successful in his inquiries, that
he was able to go before the Caliph with
out apprehension. We'll 2 said Haroun.
My Lord replied the Vizier the builder
was on the ladder, and as beautiful Geor-
gian slave was passing in the street beneath
him he turned round to look at her,--his
foot slipped,--he fell down, and was found
dead, when y, ur highness's attendants pick
ed him up Very good, said the Csllph.

been caused by she, for there never YET

Rr ALICE Carl
At the north end Of our village stands,
With gable black and high,

Often, as vent by,
To see the strip of bleaching grass
slipped brightly in between
The long, straight rows Of holyhoeks,
And eurrant bushes, green
The clumsy bench beside the door,
And oaken wash.tub,
Where poor old Rachel used to stand,
And rub, and rub ard rub
Her blue checked apron specked with
The sud-, 50 snowy white
From morning when | vent to school
Till went home at night,
She never took her sunburnt arms
Out of the streaming tub
We used to say twas weasy work
Only to hear her rub
With sleeves stretched straight upon the grass
The washed shirts used to lie;
BY dozens have counted them
Some days, as went by,
The burly blacksmith, battering at
His red-hct iron bands,
Would make joke Of wishing that
lie had old Raches hands!
And when the sharp and ringing strokes
Had doubled up his shoe.
As crooked old Rachels back
lie used to sa, tSould do.
And every vii age housewife with
A COZ scier ee clear and light,
Would send for her aud wash
An hour two at night!
Her hair beneath her cutten cap
Grew silver-white and thii
Aud the des p burrows In her face
Poughed all the roses in.
Yet patiently she kept at work
We scho, girls used to say
The smile about her sunken mouth
Would quite go out, some day.
Nobody thought the spark,
That in her sad eye had shope,
Burned outward from a living soul
Immortal as their
And though tender flush sometimes
Into her cheek would start,
Nobody dreamed old Iachel had
won.an's loving heart
Al last she left her heaps of clothes
One quiet autumn day,
And stIipt from oG her sunburnt arm,
The weary suds away;
That night within her moonlt door
She sat aIone-her chin
Sunk in her hand-ber eyes shut mp
As If to look within.
Her ftce uplifted to the star
That stood so sweet and low
Against old crazy Peters house
iHe loved her long ago4
Her heart had worn her body to
handful Of poor dust
Her soul had gone to be arrayed
In marriage robes, trust.

Twill Strike" the coors of the free,
nd trail them in the dust
Wouldst have our best affections part.
Pit devastation through,
Break Freedoms warm and noble heart!
Tear Uncle sam" in two!
Nay. let our gallant vessel glide
Triumphant on her trip
oh. psrsr ..lct the Union slide"
But ban'e for The ship
Disunion! awful flaming sword,
With deep disasters fraught.
There's storm and tempest IN the word,
And thunder in the thought.
Through all the mad, fanatic wars,
Stand bravely by the ship,
Defend her eagle and her stars"
Whatever else may rip'
Alexandria, Virginia, February, 1859.
