struggled together in the water half drowned

great green frog, and gobbled down the silly

Then thought Anger was short mad

worthy brethren have committed more folly

Let two wranglers give way to their anger,
SO as to lose control over their reason, and
they will plunge each other into such a con,
dition that third person much worse than
themselves can easily take advantage of them
just as the frog did Of the two insects. So

A Refugees Statement,

In the Fulton street prayer meeting, the
other day, there rose up tail, hne-looklng
man, having the type and air of Southern
gentleman. He said that in the extreme
South he had often heard and read Of this
meeting. Occasionally he had read notices
and reports of it in the religious and secular
papers. Little did he think he should be
standing up in it, and asking prayers for such
as himself. He had been seven years resi-
dent Of the South, living undisturbed, until
the breaking out Of the present rebellion.
Then there was change. lie was doing an
extensive and very prosperous business, was
largely, and, as he supposed, favorabIy known
to great numbers in the South.
Yet twice he had been seized in order to he
hung. Once had he been tried by Vigi-
lance Committee, and he now had with him a
full discharge from all ground Of suspicion.
For three weeks he had been guarded night
and day by armed friends, who defended him
at the risk Of their own lives, and at last he
had escaped by almost herculean efforts. He
had lett all behind him, aud accounted it a
great mercy to be in the free North with

barest necessaries Of life. He left S2o 900
behind him.
IL you think said he, that you can
conceive of the state of things at the South,
you are simply mistaken. A widespread
system of the worst form OF iespotism which
the world ever saw prevails. Over all the
South, terrorism, such as you cannot conceive
Of, reigus. No man feels safe. No man
feels as if he knew what the end was to be.
No man knows what sentiments he may ex-
press to day that will not be perverted to his
destruction tomorrow. 1t is only necessary
to raise u cry against man and no power on
earth could save him after that.

The Wasp and the Spider.

People rarely gain much by quarrelling
and the Christinn Secretary tells story
which has a good moral:
sat under an elm tree one mellow fall af
ternoon, listening to the tinkle Of a little
spring that dripped through the rocks and
turf at my feet and repeating to myself the
first lines of Walter Scott's' Lady of the
Lake, when an angry buzz from the neighbor-
ing bank suddenly turned my attention from
Baron Walter to- black wasp holding pitch
ed battle with an enormous spider. All my
boyish recollections of Tom Thumb in the fable
revived at the curious spectacle. and my first
determination was to stand by the wasp and
see fair play, but soon saw that the little
stinger's wings gave him an advantage over
the enemy, which poor Tom did not have, and
accordingly concluded to let them fight in
their own way.
After hard combat, the wasp got the bet
ter Of the spider, and | saw the hairy-legged
fellow on full galop making towards little
pool of water, the wasp all the whilc hanging
over his retreat, and stinging him with gen.
uinc waspish animosity. The spider reached
the water and plunged to the bottom, but no
sooner did he rise to the sur6ce for breath,
than his indefatigable purSuer attacked him
again, and the pool was the scene of another

PRICE. TWO CENTS
Big Words and Small Ideas,

Big words are great favorites with people
Of small ideas and weak conceptions. They
are often employed by men of mind when
they wish to use language that may best con-
ceal their thoughts. With few exceptions,
however, illtcrate and half educated persons
use more "big words than people of thor
ough education.
1t is very common but very egregious mis-.
take to suppose that long words are more gen
teel than short ones-:ust as the same sort Of
people imagine high coors and Aashy figures
improve the styles of dress. They are the
kind of folks who don't begin, but always
commence They don: live, but " reside" "
They don't 60 to bed, but mysteriosly = r..
tire" They don't eat and drink, but " par
take Of letrcshments.' They are never sick,
but " extremely indisposed.' And ins cad Of
dying, at last they =" decease.'
Tho strength of the English language is in
the short words chiefly monosyIabIes Of
Saxon Derivation and people who are in
earnest seldom use any other. Love, hate,
anger, grief, joy, express themselves in short
words and direct sentences; while cunning,
falsehocd and affectation delight in what lIor-
ace calls verJa sesquipedaho-words foot

PREACuING OF JOHN WEstEY. .--Stevens
History of Methodism is attracting attention
and commended much in England. In a no.
tice of the second volume the editor of the
London Watchman thus speaks of the style
Of Wcsley's preachiog
If there is any point OF Importance in
this second volume on which we should be
supposed to differ in some degree from Dr..
Stevens, it is in his estimate of Mr. Wesley's
preaching He does not appear to US to
have precisely realized the character, nor ade.
quatel y to have appreciated the power. of
MIR. Wcsleys earlier ministry, especially on
particular occasions. 1t was undoubtedly
distinguished, not on y by logical closeness but
by terse vehemencc-not boisterous but in.
tensc-fashing and irresistible point, and, in
the decisive application and appeal, by over.
whclming declamatory power. Southey, not
only in his Life but yet more in one re-
markable passage in the Doctor has shown
how justly he has estimated the character of
Wesley's eloquence. Let US add that even
in expository preaching, Wesley, though
self.coIIected, was hardly calm : he was
large full and mighty, in thought and feel.
ing convincing Speech humble but impress
i've authority, betting an ambassador for
Christ, and ovortlowing Christian love, al!
uniting in him to win the understanding aud
heart OF his hearers. Hence it was that on
the lips oil such a preacher mutitudes would
often hang for hours together. Probably no
preacher of his day, or any day, has been
able so constantly, throughout protrac;ed
life, to rivet the attention of vast congrega.
tions as John Wesley.

Judgment Reversed.

In the newspaper reports of the proceed
ings of the highest civil courts, it is not an
uncommon thing to see this announcement.
Inferior judicial tribunals have given their de-
cison, it has been carried up by appeal, and
the sentence passed or award rendered below
has been reversed above. Such statements are
not without significance beyond themselves.
All earthly courts are shadows of the great
tabunal on high. They are adumbrations of
coming recompcnsc and retribution in the fu-
ture state And in many cases, it may be
feared, on the great lecision-day, will the
judgment Of God reverse the judgment OF men.
A minister labors earnestly in his charge,
but with little success. But little credit Is
given him in comparison with one whose ol-
forts are moro prosperous. And yet, who
shall say that God will not recognize more
faith in the workman who holds on under dis
couragemcnt, than in another whose every cf-
fort produces a gratifying result.
A professor Of religion is popular, and an
other in the same congregation has enemies.
How apt is the world to think Of the one as
very pious, and the other as defective in per-
sonal Christianity. And yet who shall say
that God will not recognize in the one a sacrl
flee of conscience and in the other u stern f.
deity in duty?
A poor man gives his mite to the cause Of
benevoence, which is scarcely noticed, and a
rich man out Of his abundance gives hundreds
of dollars, and the contribution is paradod in
the public journals as evidence of his wonder
full liberality, And yet may not God see in
the limited gift Of the one more to please
him than in the large donation Of the other
A poor man though he has treasure 10
heaven, is often despised, whilst those in ex-
tensive possession of this worlds goods arc
commonly regarded with great Difference and
respect. And yet it is a beggar that receives
an angelic escort to the skies, whilst a rich
man lying upon his bed arranging for the ac-

The steam Gun.

A correspondent Of the N. Y. Tribune thu
describes the Cleveland Steam Centrifuga.
Gun at Baltimore. By the way, did oul
former townsman, hr.D Dickinson, sell this CUR
to the Baltimoreans before or after the com.
meneement Of the war; Our people feel a
little interested il the matter:
Il is on four wheels the boiler is like thai
of ordinary steam fre-engine, the cylinder
being upright. There is but one barrel,
which Is OF steel, on a pivot, and otherwise Is
like an ordinary musket barrel. Il is fed or
loaded through q hopper entering the barrel
directly over the pivot The barrel has a TO
tary motion, and performs the circumference,
by machinery attached, at the rate Of about
sixteen hundred times q minute. The balls
are let into the barrel through a valve at
will, and every time the barrel comes round
10 a certain poin, another valve, self-opera-
ted, lets cut a ball, which is propelled solely
by he velocity Of the barrel In revolving.
lt will discharge atWo-ounes ball three
hundred times & minute. The range is &C
curate up and down, but the balls are liable
70 hit wide of the mark on one side or the
other. The ba' rel revUlves inside of a drum,
made Of boiler iron, be ween five and six
feet in circumference, With an opening where
the balls are discharged lis range is not
over one hundred yards at best aud the gun
can be worked so as to discharge in any d.
%reetion. The whole thing weighs 6, 700.
pounds, and is about the size OF a steam Ere
engine. 1t is the opinion Of oul informant
that the gun does not warrant the expectG-
lions Of the inventor, and that it is not likely
to bs ofmuch service.
