Ew One of the places in England just
visited by, r. G. Winthrop was the old
Chapter House of the Cheshire Cathedral,
which is now the library, and here he saw
two standards, somewhat tattered and torn,
suspended over the doors. On. inquiry be
was told that they were the standards, of
the Cheshire Regiment, and that they were
used in America, at certain battle called
Bunker Hill, where it was said that only
three of this Regiment escaped without in
Jury of some, sort. The keeper said it was
understood that the Americans got behind
some sort Of fence or hedge, where they
could shoot others without being hit them

!. CoanRcr SpEAK1ya We advise all young
peoplp to acquire. in early life the habit Of
using good Languages both in speaking and
writing, and to abandon as early as possible
any use slang words and phrases. The

QUESTION Of good language will be; and if
the golden age of youth, the proper season

in its abuse, the unfortunate victim Of neg

talk slang, for life. Money is not necessary
% procure this education. Every man has
it in his power He has merely to use the
language which he reads instead Of the
slang which he hears; to form his taste from
the best speakers and poets Of the country,
to treasure up choice phrases in his mem
ory, and habituatc himself to their use, a

4 Sad Case OF Crime and its Confession.

Some weeks SINCE, Joseph Blackall, Of
Albany, n. Y. was robbed .of, 500. A
party suspected Of the robbery and his wife
were. both arrested. i. The Journal tells the
rest Of the stery as follows: vi j.
She. was brought to- town at II o'clock
yesterday morning, and in the afternoon
Squire Cole, partially examined the matter,
The Young woman, who is but twenty-one
years Of age and most respectfully connected
appeared before the magistrate with most
interesting little bahe, TO Feleptsrily. confess
that she had committed high crime. She
was advised that she Nigh: decline answer
ing any and all questions. but she declared
she would tell the whole story. She ac-
knowledged that she took the money herself
out of the chest, ia which it was placed for
safekeeping; that she did not count it, bat
put in ker bureau drawer. that she had told
her husband That she had taken it, and he
did not know it; that she had given him
money frem time to time, but had told him
it came from her mother, that when she
meved she concealed the money in a sofa
bottom chair. by placing 1T between the
hair covering and stufhag and then, mailing
the covering down again. She soiemnly de-
clared that her husband was Innocent of the
crime, and protested his entire ignorance Of
it.
As she concluded her voluntary statement
her father aud fathcr-in-law came into the
room, and the scene, at that instant was ter
ribly affecting, and would have moved the
obdurate and finty heart. y. The father, re-
alizing the fearful situation in. which his
child was placed. gave loud hysteric shout
and fell upon sofa, while the daughter
burst into a parexysm of tears, and cried,
s'Ohl father fssherts, She was removed
from Che room With Ter child, and the faith
err, after lapse of few minutes became
calm, but seemed as if he had been stricken
with deep gloom. The crime and its re-
suits were SO apparent that he could pot re-
strain his feelings. and he gave way beneath
the crushing, weight that seemed to be bear
ing down upon him, 1t. was truly heartrend-
ing, and we trust we may never again be
witness to such scene.l .@Hat re 80
Capt Hagadorn and officer Toozaey search
ed the house Of the accused, and as she had
stated, in one of the chairs found $3.50 Of
the money, aad beside found some $23 in
small trunk in. The ROOM. She subsequent
ly said there must be more of the money a.
bout the premises, and a further search villa
be made,
The husband, on being examined apart
from his wife, protested his Innocence, and
when told Of his wife's statement that she
was the. guilty party, burst into tears. We
have suppressed the nanaea of this young
man, and woehan at the solicitation of their
heart-broken parents; and we would, that il
was in our power to blot the record out en-,
tirely.,. That would be q task that would
bring with it unbounded pleasure, while the
painful duty Of rehearsing the details Of the
crime carries with it deep regret.

BAILoexs IN BATTLE - The London
Times has the following: The Emperor of
Austria makes up his mind to do a remar-
kably fine piece Of Louis Quatexe Strategy.
He executes. az elaborate piece of old fash
Toned deception, crossing the Mincio with
his whole force, and crossing it with his
two hundred theysaaa neen. and fixing, the
oenteinpfatod surprise Of the enemy at 8
o'clock in the morning The Emperor of
the French, representing the juvenile irregu-
lar school, in the most ungentleman like
manner refuses to be surprised. Having
recourse to .ae~. fanglcd expedient which
no trustworthy veteran who can count his
seventy years would condescend to use, he
sends man up in a balloon; and, at the ex-
pense Of few. yarae. Of SIX anda few square
feet of gas, is told the exact position of all
those masses which are drawn t'p 80 scien-
tsifsscalIy out Of his sight with the intention Of
surprising Asfa at the comfortable, leisurely
hour of 8 a. m. The man Of his time-the
clever. active, shrewd, nothing contemning
adyenturer Of the nineteenth century, by
dint of this small continuance, becomes mas
ter ct the position. He knows what is 60
ing to happen and where his enemy is, and
how many he is, and while the heavy, self
complacent. Austrian is chuckling at the
formal surprise that is to come off at a. m !.
he attacks at day break, chooses his own
time and point Of attack, and remains mas
ter Of the field The MIME rifle preserved
India to England, the ,riaed canfson won
Monsebelse sad Magenta fol the French;
and to the SAME arm, combined with that
much ridiculed balloon reconnaissance, the
French owe it that Solferino was French
victory, and that Napoleon III is now before
Verona. The lesson to Us Is all important.

:TnE PLEASURES OF LABOR. There is a
false notionin the world respecting employ
ment. Thousands imagine that, if they
could live in idleness, they would be perfec-
fly happy. This is great mistake. Ev-
cry industrious man and womau knows that
nothing is as tircsome as being unemployed.
Dsring some seasons Of the year we have
holidays and it is pleasing on these occa-
aions to see the operative. enjoy himself; but
we have generally found that, after. two or
three days. recreation the diligent laechan-
il or lAkcrer becomes quite unhappy. Of
ten hc sighs over the wretchedncss of being
idle. The facts, we are fnade to labor !;
and our health,,a comfort and happiness de-
pend upon oar exertion. Whether we look
at our bodies: or examine orr minds, every
thing tells US that our Creator intended
that we should be active. Hands, feet,
eyes, and mental powers, show THAT we were
born TO be BUSY. IF We had been made to
|be idle, avery large portion Of our bodily
aud mental faculties would be redundant.
