The Handsome Soul.


One day las; winter, little boy from
the South, who was on a visit 10 the city,
was taking his first lesson 10 the art Of
sliding down hill,' when he suddenly
found his feet in rather too close contact
with lady's silk dress. Surprised, NOR
,ifed and confused, lie sprang from his
sled, and, cap in hand, communicated an
earnest apology.
4 beg your pardon, ma am; | am very
sorry
Never mind,' exclaimed the lady,
there is no harm done, and you feel
worse about it ,han l do
But, dear madam said the boy as his
eyes filed with tears. 'your dress is ruined.
l thought you would be very angry with
me for being so careless
%, no. replied the lady; better have
a soiled dress than a rufiled temper
%, isn't she a .beauty?' exclaimed the
lad, as the lady passed on.
Who, that ladyP returned his comrade
If you call her beauty, you shan't
choose for me. Why, she is more than
thirty years old and her face is yellow and
wrinkled.' 4 don't care il her face is
wrinkled,' replied the little hero, her soul
is handsome anu how'
A shout Of laughter followed, from
which the little fellow was glad TO escape
Relating the incident TO his mother, be
remarked:
%, mother! that lady did me good.
shall never forget it; and when ( am
tempted 10 indulge my angry passions,
will think OF what she said: Better have
a soiled dress than ruffled temper

last AND BEST FAsHIoN.-It Is stated
that tho latest fashion announced from Eu-
rope, is that of dressing very plainly when
going to church. Some of tho ladies of the
hrst circle go up TO worship in plain calico.
IL is thus sought to encourage tho attond-
ance of tho poor who havo hitherto with
held their presence for lack of Sunday
clothes. A sensible not to say Chistian
idea, aud will be more powerfully conducive
to tho promotion of religion among the
mass than any other outside movement wo
can conceive of, not to speak of tho influ-
enco it will have upon tho upper classes
themselves, in removing from their imme-
date oyo the surroundings of vanity which
abominate our fashionable churches. and
preparing them to receive with meekness
the ingrafted word which is able to save
their souls. Over the portals OF every
Christian sanctuary ii should be written,
THE rich and the poor must meet together;
the Lord is the Maker of them all"

ROMANTIC FRENCH DUEL "A tragical af-
fair occurred at tho town of Chantilly, in
France, some weeks since. About noon
several gentlemen ulighted from a down
train at tho station of that town, and inn
modately proceeded to the forest. One Of
tho seven. probably a surgeon, remained
somo distance behind, while tho Others ad.
vanced into tho wood. and a duel with
swords began. At the fifth pass, M. de M
fell seriously wounded by thrust thro ugh
the body. Both antagonists are persons OF
note. The wounded man was removed to
tho Hotel d Angleterre, and there remains
in dangerous. state. Various rumors are
afloat as to the cause of the encounter, and
II was particularly remarked that lady,
not so closely yelled as to prevent persons
from seeing she was young and beautiful,
reached Chantilly by the same train. and

is THERE A PARTIAL GOD2

Look. people, look upon creation,
Where Jehovah's footsteps trod,
And tell aloud the revelation,
God is good alike 10 all.
Open thou the book OF nature
Trace irs brilliant page alone
Are there not on every feature
Supcrhuman types Of lovei
Turn thy eyes TO yorder mountains,
And the widespread wales around;
Mark you how the flowing fountains
Spread their beauties o'er the ground.
Mark you how the litle fowret
Opes its petals to the sky,
Pointing from its lenfy bow'ret
To its Architect on high.
Look ye oft upon creation,
Behold the gli,tering orb Of day,
Travelling with his puicr sister
On their never-ending way
Behold the cloudsin awful grandeur
Rolling down the voultcd skics,
And the vivid lightning's flashing
on speaks mighticr Prince than man.
From the chariot where He rideth,
List! the so'emn thundcrs roll!
He in love and grandeur speakclh
To the heirs Of promise here.
Are not worlds on worlds of glory
Prepared in endless space abovsi
o tell the joyful revelation.
God is good alike to all
Thou ever.wise, impartial God,
Thy merces over all extend,
And may thy dying sacrifice
Ever teach me how TO live!

ANEcDoTE OF PALEY "A story is told Of
tho celobIated Paley. Whom at tho Universi.
ty. he was giving himself to dissipation. Ono
morning, before he was up, young lord
one of bis companions in wild Iollics, came
into his room.
Il have been thinking, Paiey," said he
"what fool you are am rich, and belong
to powerful family. Il 10 not so much
matter what do hero. But you are poor,
aud have your own way TO mako in the
world. You are man of talcnt and litera-
ry taste. Everything depends upon your
devoting yourself to study now, and yet
you arc fooling away your only chance"
The future Archdeacon says from that
moment he was changed. He gave up all
dissipation. and began Immediately to lay
the foundation of that learning which made
him one of tho most eminent mon OF his
time.

IT is OF no advantage 10 man 10 know
much, unless he lives according to what
he knows; for knowledge has no other
end than goodness; and he who is made
good is in possession Of far richer treas
ure than he whose knowledge is the most
extensive, and yet Is destitute OF goodness:
for what the latter is seeking by his
great requirements, the former already
possesses. s.--Saedenborg.

We Watched Her Breathing.
BY THOMAS HOOD.
"Shc sleeps;
Her smile hath passed away,
AR dies n ripnlo nm thu soa

"She sleeps;
Her smile hath passed away,
As dies ripple on the soa."
We watched her breathing through tho night
Her breathing soft and low,
AZ on her breast the wavo of life
Kept heaving too and fro.
So silently wo seemed to speak,
Sc slowly moved about,
AS wo had lent her half our powers
To exc her being out.
Our very hopes boiled our fears,
Our ioars our hopes belied;
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came. dim and sad.
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet oyelids closed-she had
Another morn than ours.

We referred the other day to the acts of violence
and lawlassness which have Of late characterized
the Free States as the legitimate results Of the
!" higher law doctrine. The New York Herald
of the 2sd has the following notice Of new phase

i Between the wholesale corruption brought to

Very soon it Will aim at stripping our Northern
capitalists Of the fruits of their hard industry
for according to the new creed, they have no more
legitimate title to their wealth than the planters OF

We cannot 90 on after this fashion, sinking deepe

which will swallow up all the precious endowment

You have already received by telegraph all the

prospect of a warm discussion upon the platform
and in relation to the New York contested seats.
If aplatform is adopted which is not satisfactory
to the South, Alabama Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
and a part Of Georgia viii probably withdraw.
This viii occasion the nomination Of Mr.. DOUGLAS
by the remainder Of the convention, and the nom
nation Of Mr. DAVIS OF Mr. HUNTER by those who
withdraw. II platform is adopted satisfactory to
the entire convention Mr. DOUGLAS friends are con-
ident Of his nomination If he cannot be nominated
think the struggle will be between Guthrie and
JOHNSON with the chances of success slightly IN Mr.
C5UTHRrE's favor. If the Caggerites are admitted
from New York it viii increase the strength o.
DouG1As, which after his withdrawal will enure Il
the benefit of Mr. GUTHRIE. The Northwestern mel
are for JOHNSON after DOUGLAS and those from tbs
Northeast prefer Mr.. GUTHRIE in a second choice.
