is not small-the earth is but theatre Of
pain and sickness, sorrow and death. Joy
is abusive, pleasure a cheat, laughter
mockery, and happiness a thing impossible,
and not even to be looked for on this side
the grave. The performance of all duty is
the taking up of what they call "a Cross
They are actually afraid to be happy, under
an overshadowing impression that they have
no right to be happy in this life. They be-
lieve that there is something intrinsically
bad in the world they inhabit and all the
joy that proceeds from it. They have an
idea that the moral evil which aflicts the
human race has struck in. All the suffer-
ings of the brute creation-their throes Of
labor, and sickness of body, and pains of
death-are so many voices proclaiming the
fatal failure of Adam. Human nature itself
is an awful thing. God is great lawgiver,
an inexorable avenger, an awful judge, a
Being to be feared more than loved. Life
is trial-severe, unrelenting, perpetual
All that seems good and graceful and glori-
GUS in the world is hollow sham, for the
deception of the uuwary and the ruin of the
unwise.

A PERILOUS HOUR.

I was apprenticed to decorative painter,
but being Of bold, danger loving turn, |
ran away to sea before my time was out
After some years of knocking about, 1
got tired of maritime life, and having mar
ried and determined to stick to the shore, I
GOT work with builder whose peculiar line
lay in erecting tall chimneys. I had always
a cool head, and could stand on elevations
that made most men dizzy, and so I was
soon favorite hand with my master.
We had on one occasion to fasten light
ming conductor. which had sprung, near the
top of a very high chimney, and Mr.. Sta
ming choose myself and one James Colly to
do it, s.s the most daring of his men. About
half dozen of US went that morning with
hand-cart, containing the necessary ropes,
blocks, the kite, and box or cradle. Hav.
ing flown the kite, and dropped its line
across the top of the chimney, we soon drew
up rope, at the end of which was block,
through which ran the line whereby We
were to be drawn up.
Colly had only been married a fortnight,
and as we stepped into the cradle, the men
bauteringly asked him if he hadn't last
dying speech to leave for bis wife; and Mr.
Staining having shaken hands with us, and
bid us be cool and steady, we were drawn slow
" up. 1t was known all over the town
that the conductor was to be fixed, thoug h as
the day was not named, I did not expect We
should have had many spectators; but as
we got higher, and the view opened under
our feet, saw that the streets were throng-
ed with starers. Colly was very quiet; and
when I waved my cap to the people, he said
snappishly that this was no time for such
folly, and that he thought l might think of
better things than how to amuse these gap
ing fools, who he dared say, desired ND bet
ter fun than to see us meet with an accident.
had come up in the best heart, think
ing, indeed, nothing about the danger we
incurred but as we drew nearer and nearer
to the top, and had nothing, as it seemed,
belonging to this world nearer to US but
this straining rope, I begun to see the peril
of my undertaking. What Colly thought
of it, l don't know-he sat at the bottom OF
the cradle, never looking out, though told
him he would do better to keep his eyes a.
bout him, so that he might get used to the
height.
What What was this q? Here we were
within a yard of the top projecting coplng'
and still they we're winding away Without

PEAcE.-A soldier was wounded in one
of the battles of the Crimea, and was carried
out of the field. He felt that his wound was
mortal, that life was quickly ebbing away;
and he said to his comrades who were carry
ing him: Put me down: do not take the
trouble to carry me any farther: l am dy-
ing"
They put him down, and returned to the
field. A few minutes after an officer saw
the man weltering in his blood, and asked
him if he could do any thing for him.
Nothing, thank you
Shall get you little water? said the
kind-hearted officer.
mo, thank you: I am dying
lis there nothing I can do for you? Shall
I write to your friends?
Il have no friends you can write to. But
there is one thing for which I would be
much obliged in my knapsack you will find
Testament; will you open it at the 18th Of
John and near the end of the chapter you
will find verse that begins with Peace ,
Will you read it?'
The officer did so, and read the words {:
peace I leave with you, my peace give
unto you: not as the world giveth, give l
unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid
Thank you, sir said the dying man; d
have that peace; am going to that Saviour;
God is with me; I want no more;' and in
stantly expired.

THE OLD TURNPIKE.

We hear no more of the clinking hoof,
. And the stage coach rattling by;
For the steam king rules the travelling world,
And the old pixies left to die,
The grass creeps o'er the ainty path,
And the stealthy daises steal
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stager breads
The toll of coming morn
No more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn.
For the dust lies still upon the road,
And the bright eyed children play
Where once the chattering hoof and wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more do we hear the cracking whip,
Or the strong wheels rumbling sound:
And no the water drives US on,
And an iron horse is bound
The coach stands rusting in the yard,
And the horse has sought the pillow,
We have spanned the world with an iron rail,
And the steam king rules us now!
The I'd turnpike is pike no more,
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made us q road for our horses to stride
And we ride at flying rate;
We have filled the valley and leveled the hills,
And tunneled the mountains side.
And round the rough crag's dizzy verge
Fearlessly now we ride.
Oh! on with naughty front
A puff, shrek bound
While tardy echoes wake too late
To babble back the sound.
And the old pike road is left alone
And the stagers seek the plow;
We have circed the world with an iron rail,
And the steam king rules US now.

SHOOTING APFA1R.-0n Friday evening
last, Owen Norment inflicted on Charles
Tittemary mortal wound, Of which wound
he died on Sunday night last. Thescanse4
of this affair is said to be that Tittemary
had made some charges against Moments
honesty. They met at Quinn's Grocery and
Norment asked Tittemary if he still persis-
ted in making those charges. On replying
that he did, Norment deliberately put a cap
upon his rifle, which he had previously load.
ed, and shot him, the ball entering just a.
bove the left nipple and going through him
into the wall, making horrid wound. Tit
temary was sitting and smoking, and al
though he must have seen Norment making
these preparations, yet he did not notice them.
After he was shot he remarked he waaa
dead man and fell over. Norment was sat.
fered to make his escape. The Sheriff; be-
ing out of town no effort was made, as far
as we have heard, to arrest him. On Satur.
day the Sheriff had bills printed, aud sent
in various directions, but as be was not au-
thorized to offer reward, they will be of
little service. This is the second case of
shooting, which resulted in death, that has
been perpetrated In that house ,andswithin
two feet of each other Charlotte Rhig.

SNArcH1Na AT STRAws.-Standing in
shop door with a friend the other morning,
he wished to wager US that the next three
men that passed would bear straws in their
hands. is there bale of straw lyining
upon the side walk up the streetF we asked.
Laughing, he answered, There is True
enough, of the six persons who came along,
five had straws in their hands, which they
were toying with or nibbling between their
teeth. The sixth, occupied with his own
thoughts, pushed gravely on, paying no heed
to such triaes as wisps or spears of straw
Here, then, was decided display of charac-
ter. The first straw bearers were either men
at ease in mind and body, or they are easily
diverted from their course, by any chance
allurement that crosses their path. Number
six is more sure to look after number one,
and more likely to succeed in business affairs
of the world than either of the Others, but
he may not be so happy at heart. he Is
intent upon some enduring pursuit. He has
no thought of pleasure or the by play Of life
sud is looking strictly and straight forward
after the main chance. Straws, it is said,
show which way the wind blows, and the

THE LATE BATTLE IN EUROPE.
New YORK, July l3.

The steamer Etna, which sailed from Liv-
erpool on the evening of the I'd instant,
"a few hours later than the Canada arrived
to-day.
1t is believed in some quarters in Paris
that the French loss at the battle of Solferino
is about as follows: Neill's division, six
to seven thousand; Hillier's, nearly five
thousand; McMahon's, two thousand i've
hundred; Canrobert's, one thousand; besides
casualties to the artillery and other corps.
The French people are dissatisfied at the
very meagre details The Paris Patrie says
that Napoleon had an epaulette shot away
Some of the French regiments were nearly
cut to pieces.
The Piedmontese suffered so severely as
to be unable to form line of battle.
VIENNA, June 2S.-Some days must
elapse before complete Austrian returns can
be procured.
Some of the Italian regiments have be-
come very difficult to manage, deserving by
scores and ffties. At Trieste, whole bat
talon pronounced in favar of Victor Eman-
uel A vessel bearing the American flag
had been detected iu the act of taking des-
erters on board.
SECOND DEspATcH.-Iti is reported that
at the battle of Solferino nearly every officer
and man belonging to the artillery OF the
Imperial Guard was put hors de combat.
The Austrian accounts admit $1,000 kill
ed, wounded and missing. ForseVeral hours,
the chances of the battle seemed in favor OF
the Austrians, who retook Solferino, but the
French rallied and broke the Austian centre
and won the victory. Hilliers' corps sus'
tanned the attack for three hours before sue
cor arrived.
Garibaldi was ordered to occupy the up
per Valteliue and the Tyr,lese were occu
pied in fortifying the passes.
The military commissions of the Frank
fort Diet approve of the demand tor more
men for the army of observation.
Twenty thousand corpses were buried afte'
the battle of Solferino, and many more were
lying in the bitches and corn fields.
The French were making immense pre-
parations for operations on the Adriatic.-
The French Admiral was about to open hi
sealed orders.
SAcKv1LLE, July 13.-the despatch for
warded from Halifax by the horse express
was received to-day.
The following is the latest telegraphet
from Paris to Liyerpool:

tian's duty to be careful 'lest he offend one
of these little ones?'

tian's duty to be careful 'lest he offend one
of these little ones?'
In the days of persecution for righteous.
ness sake, there was something to try the
Christian. Now, profession of religion is
popular, and all may be church members by
making apparently but little sacrifice for
Christ. Dancing seems almost the only
thing whereby the young Christian may
show spirit of non-conformity to the world !;
thing which even non.professors them
selves say is their portion, and with which
which the Christian should not interfere
And that young Christian girl who engages
in it, does so not only at the expense Of her
souls interests, but at the expense of the es-
TEEN and respectful regard of the very young
man who requests her hand in the giddy
whirl. And alas how sadly does the vir-
tuous maiden, Christian or not, compromise
her modesty in having her waist encircled,
as is too often the case, by some debauched
fop, who is her partner in the immodest
dance
In conclusion, Mr.. Brookes said he was
sorry that there had been church members
who had not been guiltless in this matter,
and hence the presentation of the whole SUBJ
ject. At recent meeting of this session,
the question had come before its members,
who deemed it their duty to advise the
church against such things, as being incon-
sisteut, not only with the welfare, but with
the discipline of the church.

CRITICISM is well.known IA.
BILE told of an ancient painter who opened o
picture to public criticism, requesting that
every person who observed a fault would put
mark upon it. When the artist came, in
the evening, to take his painting home, be
found it one mass of marks of disapproba-
tion. Every critic had found in it some
thing to condemn. The next day having
carefully erased the marks, the painter again
displayed his work of art, requesting that
every beholder who noticed beauty would
put mark upon it. At evening, he found
the canvass was covered with signs of appro-
baton. Every part had found its admirers
in similar touches with those that had, only
the day previous, been condemned by the
critics Is not this fable true of the world
to day? Do not the majority of those who
criticise, either to praise or condemn, follow
each one, the bias of their own taste, rather
than any just standard Of literature or art?

MILITARY VALUE OF RAILwAYs.-The
German papers express their astonishment
at the omission of the Austrians to tear up
the railroad track, and so destroy the mill
tary means which the French have so utili-
zed. The Vienna Presse, improving the
topic, points out the fact that the French
soldiers brought out from the reserve at
Montebello, approached so near the scene of
action in the trains, that they commenced
firing from the windows before they disem-
barked

Activity OF NApoLEoN.-A private let
ter from the seat of war says that since the
active work began, Napoleon knocks up two
horses every day-being in the saddle from
I o'clock in the morning; and some Of his
grooms have just reached Paris for new
supply from the imperial stud. His inde-
fatigable inspection of all matters involving
supply, commissariat and reinforcements,
was the theme of the whole army.

POWER oE LovE.-Thackeray says that
"when man is in love with one woman in
family, it is astonishing how fond he be-
comes of every person connected with it.
He ingratiates himself with the maids; he
is bland with the butler; he interests him
self with the footman !; he runs on errands
for the daughters; he gives and lends mon.
ey to the young son at college; he pats lit.
tie dogs which he would kick otherwise; be
smiles at old stories which would make him
break ont in yawns were they uttered by
any one but papa; he bears even With the
contankerous old maiden aunt; he beats
time when darling little Fanny performs her
piece on the piano and smiles when wicked,
lively little Bobby upsets the coffee over his
shirt"
