GOODNESS,

The following annecdote is not new, but
will bear republication, for the reason that
it is brimful of fun. The scene is laid in
Georgia:
Jake was little negro boy who belong
ed to Dr. Taliaferro, and was said to have
in his little frame heart as big as Gener-
al Jackson's-to say nothing of Napoleon
Bonaparte and zack Taylor. He didn't
fear even old Nick, and as to GOODNESS he
was as cool as the tiptop of the North pole
One day DIR. Taliaferro, upon occasion Of
the commencement of medical college Of
which he held the chair of anatomy, gave
a dinner. Among his guests was well
known ventriloquist. Late in the evening,
after the bottle had done its work, the con
versation turned upon courage, and the Dr.
boasted considerably of the lion heart Of
his favorite Jake. He offered to bet that
nothing could scare him, and this bet the
vontril5auist took I'D, NAMING at the same

hopes, when summoned by the command
ing voice Of duty. The regard which we
cherish for those who fall in defending
freedom, and the unanimity with which we
pronounce them not only brave and goner-
Gus but also wise and faithful, seem no
weak proofs Of our hearty belief in an i'm
mortal life and the surprising blessedncss
Of those who attain it.
These considerations have little relation
to the usual aspect Of death, and many OF
them belong only to death that comes
swiftly to those whom nature does not sum
mon to rest from the labors and sorrows Of
life, but who die through the wickedness
OF their fellow men. When death comes
to the quiet home circle and lays his lev
hand upon some beloved member thereof,
he wears no crown Of brightness that the
world can see and admire He seems to
come only for the severing Of tenderest
ties, for the blighting Of sweetest hopes.
Tor the crushing Of those fragrant blossoms
OF human love which shed such bloom and
delight all around US His lace is that of
an angel Of destruction, not Of mercy and
richest promise. 1t is not strange that our
hearts laIl when We see our cherished ones
stricken and swept away into thc region oI
darkness. in the first crushing moment of
our grief we see only our loss, we compre-
hend emily the sudden hiding of SO dear
light.
Alas fer Us, if that first anguish never
were soothed away; if no CLEANS Of light
from beyond the grave ever shot through
the deep darkness which first enshrouded
us; II we heard DO voice far up the Heav-
only heights, saying, The mortal shall put
on immortality" " This is one Of the most
gracious assurances Of Christian faith,
lifting the soul out Of that unutterable de
spondency which would choke all Joyous
life if we could not look through the dense
gloom which often oycrhangs the grave
and see life, and light, and abundance Of
peace in fairor world. life and immor
tahty are brought to light, and though we
now see but 'as through a glass darkly,'
we lean with gladness on the strong arm
which faith finds reaching down to us from
Heaven. Then, though we mourn our
loved ones taken with exceeding sorrow,
we mourn not cOmiortlcss; we feel that the

The Teachings of Death.

4AC VI OCdCA'
Death is voiceless teacher, but his les
sons come to all He is no respecter of
persons, and all climes are included in his
domain. With impartial step he approach
es those who long for him and those who
passonately cling to life. His countenance
seems ever stern, unless when he rides on
the storm of battle, and in chariot of fire
translates patriot souls to a richer reward
than earth can offer. Then his summons
comes like the triumphant voice of an an
gel, and his features are not gloomy, but
lighted up with prophetic TRANSPORTATION.
To many brave heart comes the consola-
ton which martyr patriots ever feel 1T is
sweet and honorable to die for oae's coun-
try Nor is this solace confined only to
those who fail In upholding the freedom
and fame OF their native land, but it causes
rainbows to arch over the grief of those
who give up their beloved ones when their
country calls Brave hearts break that
liberty and peace may be the heritage of
generations to come; they sacrifice years of
their lives that those who shall live after
them may lead freer, happier, more peace
full lives. And SO we embalm them in our
memories, and death seems but as a
kind, swift-winged messenger bearing them
to the rest and glory of their heavenly in
heritance. The lesson taught by such
death and by the emotions it produces, Is
that freedom and just character are more
excellent than earthly life, that it is cow
ardly to cling to this world so eagerly as
not willingly to yield it, With al its joys and
