A PRoFANE CRow.---Several years
since, on warm sabbath morning,
while the Rev. Dr. B., of we'll
known fishing town in Massachusetts,.
was holding forth, a tame crow which
had been taught to utter but one word
and that wicked one, few into the
church and alighting on the pulpit, SAL
uted the minister with "G--d d---n We"
whereupon the enraged as well ~ hor-
ror stricken parson "drew off," and
gave the gentleman in black" win
der that sent him to the floor. Moth
ing daunted by this, however, the crow
was soon upon his feet, and looking up
at the reverend gentleman repeated
his salutation with such, an emphasis
that he took to his heels, and together
with his congregation, scampered from
the sacred editice in double quick time.
One little old woman, whose seat was
in one corner, did not see fit to follow
the example of the shepherd or ais
flock, but firmly kept her position !;
upon seeing which the crow advanced
toward her, aud hopping upon the seat
in front of her, again gave vent to
his favorite expression p; the old woman
not little astonished at his impudence
and evidently taking him for an evil
spirit, in the shape Of bird, yelled
forth at him, "God damn you too
what do you God damn me forP I
don't belong to this church," and
giving him a wipe with her umbrella,
she cleared the coast, leaving the
church to silence and the crow.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
BY JOHN pHENIx.* \

George Washington was one of the
most distinguished movers of the
American Revolution.
He was born of poor but honest pa
rents, at Genoa, in the year 1892. His
mother was called the mother of
Washington. He married, early in
lite, single widow lady, Mrs. Martha
Gusts, whom Prescott describes as
the cussedest prettiest woman south of
Mason and Dixon's line. Young w.,
commenced business as county sur
veyor, and was present in that charac-
ter at sham fight under Gen. Pad
lock, where so many guns were fired
that the whole body of militia were
stunned by the explosion, and sat
down to supper unable to hear a word
that was said. This supper was after
wards alluded to as Braddock's defeat,
and the simile, "dea2 as Braddock, -
subsequently vulgarized into "deaf as
a haddock,'' > had it's rise from that cir
cumstance. Washington commanded
several troops during the Revolution
ary war, and distinguished himself by
crossing the Delaware on ice Of very
inadequate thickness, to visit a family
Of Hessians OF his acquaintance. Ho
was passionately fond of green peas
and string beans; and his favorite
motto was In time Of peas prepare
for war"
Washington's most intimate friend
was French gentleman, named Mar
Gus Dee, who from his constant habits
of risibility, was nicknamed ")aughy
yet" His great victory was at Ger
mantown, where, coming upon the
British in the night, he completed,
surrounded them with wall Of cottor
bales, from which he opened de
structive and terrific fire, which soor
caused the enemy to oapitulate. Tht
cotton bales being perforated with
musket balls, we're much increased il
weight, and consequently in value, and
the expression playfally used, "Wha'
is the price Of cotton p was much ir
vogue after the battle. a.z.. ..a..ss.

MARSHAL NEY s DEATH SCENE.
The vengeance of the allied powers
demanded some victims, and tho in
trepid Ney, who had well nigh again
put the crown upon Bonaparfe's head
at Waterloo was one of them. Con-
demned to be shot, he was led to the
Garden Of Luxembourg early on the
morning of the 7th December, and
placed in front of file of soldiers
drawn up to kill him. One OF the of:
6cers stepped up to bandage his eyes
but he repulsed him saying, {" are you
ignorant that for five and twenty years
l have been accustomed to face both
ball and bullet?'' He then lifted his
hat above his head, and with the same
calm voice that had steadied his col
umus so frequently, in the tumult Of
of battle, said, / declare, before God
and man, that I never betrayed my
country---may my death render her
happy! Vive Ia France!" He then
gave the order, " Soldiers fire!" A
Simultaneous discharge followed, and
the bravest OF the brave sank to rise
no more" sHe who had fought foe
hundred battles for Francs and never
one against her was shot AZ traitor!'
As looked on the spot where he
tell, 1 could not but sigh over his fate.
True he broke his oath Of allegiance,
50 did others, carried away BY their
attachment to Napoleon and the enthu-
siasm that hailed his approach to Par
is---still, he was no traitor.

NEVER SAY DIE.

Old Doctor M Lived and prac-
ticed his profession in the county Of
R--in the eastern part of the
State of New York. He was a Scotch
man by descent, pious and good
member of the Presbyterian Church.
His indomitable energy, perseverance
and determination to succeed made
him very celebrated as a successful
physician, and caused him to be cal
led, as a dernier resort, to great distan-
ccs. Pious as he was, aud conse-
quently anxious for the salvation Of the
souls Of his patients, yet his invariable
motto was, "Never say die - His
business, he said, was to save the
body ; if he was to try he could not
save the soul--that was the work of
the Almighty. For this reason he
always acted upon the principles Of his
motto, "Never say die - ....
One Sunday in July, about midday,
hot and muggy as July Sunday ever
was, he was called to village on the
banks of the beautiful Hudson, to see
a lady who was said to be dying
When he drove up to the door of the
house he found its one room filled with
the members of the church, on thei:
knees with the minister who was loud.
~ praying that their sister who was
dying might be received Immediately
into glory. The old Doctor, stepping
between their kneeling bodies, quick.
ly approached the dying woman's bed.
felt her pulse, and whispering to her
'Never say die,'' Immediately seized
the minister under the arms from be.
hind, and carrying him to the door,
gave him a throw and q kick, saying,
"You go there and this woman will
not 60 to glory to-day" The woman
recovered, and she always believed
that the startling effect of those words,
s'Never say de-" and the exciting
scene which followed were the means
of her recovery. "Never say dic," in
any effort is worthy to be the motto Of
every man, woman aud child who is
determined to succeed in the world.

PURITY or CHARACTER.

Over the beauty Of plum and apri.
cot there grows a bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself.--a
soft, delicate flush that overspreads
tits cheek. Now if you strike your
hand over that, and it is once gone, it
is gone farever: for it never grew but
once. The flower that hsngs IN the
morning impearled with dew---arrayed
az no queenly woman ever was ar1ayed
in jewels---onee shake it 90 the heads
roll off, and you may sprinkle water
over it as you please, yet it can nsver
be made again what it was when the
dew fell upon it from heaven On )
frosty morning you may see the pasaes
of glass covered with landscapes
mountains, lakes, and trees blending
in beautiful, fantastic picture Now
lay your hand upon the glass, aud BY
the scratch Of your finger, OF By the
warmth ofyour palm all the dilecate
Itracery will be obliterated. So there
lis in youth beauty and purity Of char
acter, which, when once touched and
tdefled, can never be restored-a fringe
more delicate than frost work, and
which, when torn and broken, will
never be re-embroidered. A man who
has spotted and soilcl his garments in
youth, though he may seek to make
them white again, can never wholly do
lit, even were he to wash them with
fhis tears. When s young man leaves
his fathers house, with the blessing Of
his mothers tears still wet upon his
forehead, if he once loses that purity
of character, it is a loss that can never
make whole again. Such is the conse,
quenoe OF, crime, Its effects cannot be
eradicated, it can only be Jorgivee,

PHoroGRAPHY..--The art, or the
method by which pictures, or impress
sions of objects can be produced by
the action of light, is comparatively Of
recent origin, and consists mainly of
two seperate aud distinct processes,
one Of which is Of French and the 9TH
er of English invention. The French
art, depends in principle upon a fact
scarcely known till this discovery,
that the chemical action of light upon
some bodies, imparts to them an in
creased power Of condensing certain
vapor on the surface. Thus, if the
light be allowed to fall upon q part OF
the polished plate Of silver, which has
been exposed to the fumes of Iodine,
until it has acquired a coating Of that
substance, and the plate be then placed
lin the vapor of mercury, the mcrcuria1
vapor will be deposited upon that
part of the plate where the light has
fallen, and will cause a dimness o,
white appearance, forming a strong
contrast with the remainder of the
polished surface. If the picture of q
lcamera-obscura be allowed to rest 3
sufficient time upon such plate, it i,
can be made visible upon it in a simi
lar manner. The brightest parts O.
the picture will be shown by the
greatest whitening effect Of the mer
curry, as it is condensed most copiousl,
where the action Of the light has beer
strongest; intermediate tints will b
brought out by degrees OF whitenes
varying according to the amount 0
light, while. deep shadows or dark oh
ljects will be marked by the black O
resplendent surface Of the metal, whicl
remains untarnished. 81
