The man who could give peaoe--unwavering

juncture, would build up in that peace his own
immortal monument. Have we among US the

shall dare, amid contending factions, to lift up
his voice and swear by the blood of our dead
heroes, Gas did Demosthenes by those who fell
at Marathon.) that no national wrong shall be
done2 Have we the SAVIOR, crowned of him
who walked the waves Of Galilee, who,
when the tide of popular feeling roms around
us like an oceau--stormy, brain shaking, filing
the air with thunderous threatenings, shall go
forth upon the raging billoWs and calm them
with peace, be still7" Have we the law

eyes, shall step beween with "Thus saith
the Lord" "Be snU, and know that I am

public, stand side by side with the Father of the
Republic himself Ueto him be rendered the
highest honors while liviDg-let his name echo
like England's "drum beat round the world''-
and when dead, may new Mount Vernon re-
ceive him TO its peaceful shades. Side by side
with him who was our lopbet, Priest and
Pioneer, he shall stand "first in the hearts of
his countrymen
Ia the worlds memory he shall lie embalmed
side by eide with him whom the plowman of
Marathon besses as he remembers the struggle
OF his own land for liberty; whom the Swiss
peasant reverences among men as he does
Mont Blanc among the mountains; upon whc se
statue the deep-eyed Italian gazes with an af-
fecuonate enthusiasm; whom France remem-
bers as bosom friend of her Lafayette; who,
while Poland has one patriotic exile, will be Low.
ed as the chief who led on her Pulaskii and her
kosciusko; the man whom even "the poor In
dian has immortalzed, by making him the only
pale face who will ever be allowed by the
Great Spirit to enter the "happy hunting
grounds"
Turn we now to Death, the mighty mound
builder for all time. Ah! those mouuds-low,
narrow mounds-he builds them every day
around US. Small they may be, seemingly, and
yet they may hide all the sunlight from US
nay, hide heaven itself, for a season. Very
narrow they may be, seemingly, and yet they
may hold all our earthly treasure, leaving US
beggared and utterly desolate. Very short they
may be, seemingly, and yet the shadow that
falls from them may daIken down along the
weary years of a lifetime. Whatever mauso. |
leums We may erect for ourselves, he will surely
raise for us a little one of the green turf and
purple violet bloom. Yet, oh! may he wait
Tor us until each shall have built upon the hearts
around US some little mound of love upon
which, when the clods cover US, those whom
we have loved shall write in tear-drops -"Fr-
DELIs."

The Jews Bet.

A Jew in tavern, in the town Of Eudiugen,
saw merchant whom he seemed to recognize
"Are you not one Of the good men with whom
had the pleasure to travel from Basel to Stras
burg, on the Rhine2" The merchant assented
and asked: "Have you, my fellow traveller,
since we met, done much trader" The Jew,
instead of answering, asked: "Did you make a
good speculation at the fair7 II so, / should
like to propose bet to you: that Is, bet that
you cannot repeat three words after me as I say
them" The merchant, thinking that few
pence, more or less, would make no difference
to him, replied: "Ssy on" The Jew said
"cutler." The merchant repeated ''cutler. y
Next 'bagpipe," and "bagpipe" was responded
The Jew smiled, and said wrong" The mer-
chant, puzzled, bethougnt himself where the
mistake could be; but the Jew, taking piece
Of chalk out Of his pocket, made stroke and
said; "One sixpenoe for me-" Again the JeW
commenced and said SOLVE OIL" The mer-
chant repeated solve oil " ""Tanner - "Tan
