The orders of the officers was to arrest all

NAruRE's ALpnApEr.--Nature's alphabe
is made up Of only four letters--wood,
water, rock, and soil; yet with these four
letters she forms such wondrous com.
positions, such infinite combinations, as
no language Of twenty-four letters can
describe. Nature never grows old-she
has no provincialism. The lark carols the
same song in the same key as when
Adam turned his delighted ear to catch
the strain; the owl still boots in fiat, yet
loves the note, aud sceams through no
other octave; the stormy petrel is as much
delighted to sport among the waves Of the
Indian Ocean as in the earliest times
Birds that lived on flies. laid blush eggs,
when Isaac went out into the fields to
mediate, as they will 1000 years hence,
if the world does not break her harness
from the orb of day. The sun is as
bright as when Lot entered the little city
OF Zoar. The diamond and the ONYX,
and the topaz Of Ethiopia are still as
splendid; and the vulture's eye is as fierce
as when Job took up his parable. In
short, natures pendulum has never al
tered its strokes. ..

OBSERVATIONS GRrEF.-It may seem a
cruel word 10 say, but a long iudulged
and openly displayed sorrow, Of any sort
is often an ignoble, and invariably selfish
feeling, being a sacrifice of the many to
the few. II we look around on the circle
of our acquaintance, with its percentage,
large or small, Of those whom we heartily
respect, we shall always find that il is the
highest and most affectionate natures
which conquer sorrows soonest and best !;
those unselish ones who can view mis-
fortune in lis result on others as we'll as on
their own precious individuality and
and those in which the greatest capacity
Of loving. acts at once as bane and antidote,
giving them, with keen susceptibility 10
pain, power Of enduring it, which to the
un!oving is not only impossible, but in
credible. II is the weak, the self.en-
crossed and self.important, who chiefly
make to themselves public altars Of per-
petual woe, at which they worship, not
the Dii names of departed joys, but the
apotheoses Of living ill-humors.-Mss
Maloeh.

."li we work upon marble, il will perish;
II we work upon brass. time will eface it
II we rear temples they will crumble into
the Gust. But if we work upon immortal
minds, il we imbue them with high prin-
ciples, with the just fear of God and for
their fellow-men-we engrave upon these
tablets something which no time can
efface, but which will brighten to all
eternity. In this way we may all be
artists. and even the most ordinary and
uniearned. If we have but an earnest and
loving heart, may produce masterpiece.
The professor or lecturer may cut deep
lines and fashion most wondrous forms on
the unwrough! material which he has be-
fore him. The teacher in the common
school or the Sabbath school may with
tho sunlight of truth, photograph upon
the tender minds committed 10 his charge
a thousand forms of holy beauty.
The humblest, most quiet man may
write upon his neighbours heart good
thoughts and kind words which will last
forever And such monument will be
a real Immortality; "more enduring than
brass, loftier than the real majesty OF the
pyramids" Such q record, instead OF
growing dim with time, will grow deeper
with eternity, and will still be bold and
legiblc when the scriptures OF Nineveh,
which has outlasted centuries, shall have
all faded out, and the steel pictures Of
modern art are forgotten. And when
things which the dimness OF time OBJ
scures shall be revealed by the light Of

Mutinv in the ARMY,

The lying, partisan, toryism of such
men as Yallandigham and his fellow
conspirators in the North, is having its
effect upon their dupes in the army
While the great mass Of the volunteers
are patriotic to the heart, some of them
have not been able to resist the partisan
appeals Of the de 'p;clble demagogues
who have heretofore been their political
leaders. And Influenced by their tory
sentiments, two or three companies of
volunteers have raised in open mutiny
Gen. Mcclellan has been compelled to
send some of them off to the Tortugas
Islands, where they will work out their
three years term in disgrace instead of
crowning their brows with laurels in de-
Tending the rights and liberties of their
country. 1t is a matter Of deep regret
that the poor dcluded soldiers should
thus be made to suffer through their
honest prejudices, while the dishonest
knaves who led them into the trouble
should escape. 1t is to be hoped that a
few such examples will teach every
body that the counsels Of these bad men
must be rejected.
