sed any national movement in that
way, and that the other families who
owned vaults there now object to any
invasion upon the affected simplicity
Of the place. It is, nevertheless, dis
grace that there is not single monu-
ment in France, not even over his
grave, to the memory of this great
and pure patriot In France there
are SO many parties, and SO many pol
itical opinions, that it is not strange,
perhaps, that no one is found to take
the initiative in such measure, for
here the memory of Lafayette has still
enemies as well as friends but the
Americans, who only know Lafayette
as the generous friend and accomplish
ed soldier, could, with the propriety
take the initiative. At their request
il is improbable that either the Gov
eminent, or the relatives, or the other
owners of vaults in the Cemetery of
Picpus, would offer any serious objec-
tion.

12 Rules for the Year.


The following rules are intended for
the guidance of young men and 0o-
men:
!. Get married--if yon can but
look before you leap. Love matches
are romantic - nice things to read
aboat-bnt they have birthstone in
them, now and then so says Ike Mar
vel, Esq.
2. Unite in overthrowing the fash
ion which translates eivility into love.
3. Go to church at least once week,
and behave yourself while there.
4. Whenever you see a lecture adj
vertised, set the evening upon which
it is to be delivered, apart for reading
fifteen pages of q good book
5 Circulate no scandal.
6. Avoid all kinds of spirits-par-
ticularly spirit rappers.
I If in the theatre, or other public
place of amusement, do not level your
opera glass at strangers
s.. Never notice the clothing of per-
sons attending divine worship, nor,
stand in front of the house of God af-
ter the service.
8. Never ask another man what his
business where he is going to-
where he came from-when he left
when he intends to 60 back, or the.
number Of his dollars. You may in
quire as to the state of his health, and
that of bis parents, sisters and broth
ers-but venture no farther.
10. Defend the innocent, help the
poor, and cultivate spirit of friends
ship among all your acquaintance.
IL. Never speak disparagingly of
women, and endeavor to conquer all
your preiudices. Believe all persons
to be sincere in the religion which they
profess M
IL. Be economical, but not parsi-
monious or niggardly. Make good
use of your dollars, but not idols. -
Live within your means and never bor-
row money in anticipation of your sal
arv.

rapidly, she took q near CUT across

everywhere together. Spite of all
this one old woman who seemed near
ly eighty years of age, had remained
there a witness of the fearful consuma-
ton. Perhaps she was too feeble to
fly, or held the little life then flowing
in her veins too worthless to prolong.
There was no one to comfort her, and
the soldiery passed her by as they
would dog. Down well, not far
from the village, we found a man
hiding in recess of the earth. How
long he had been there no one knew
but he was too feeble to ascend by
rope which was thrown down to him.
However, we helped him up and when
be reached the top he was too weak
to staLd. Another was discovered in
a tree, where he must have been three
days. He refused at first to come
down, but musket was pointed at
him, which had the desired effect
In his belt we found eighty eight ru-
PEGS. This the men divided, and the
bird was made prisoner and sent in

woman was fonnd with her right leg
shattered by q shell in another,
little girl of about nine, with her left
leg shattered. All over the ground
were scattered English books, papers

melancholy when we wish the gol-
den sunshine pitchy darkness, and are
very willing to fancy clouds where no
clouds are This is state of sickness
when physic may be thrown to the
dogs, for we will have none of it,
What shall raise the sleeping Lazarus?
What shall make the heart beat music
again, and the pulses dance to it thro'
all the myriad thronged halls in our
house of life ? What shall make the
sun kiss the Eastern hills again for us
with all his old awaking gladness, and
the night overflow with moonlight.
music, love and flowers ? Love itself
is the great stimulant-the most in
toxicating of all-and performs all
these miracles, but it is miracle itself
and is not at the drug stores, what
ever they say. The counterfeit is in
the market, but the winged god is
not a money changer, we can assure
you.

still they ask for stlmulants. The

Intoxicating drink sets the world whirl-

the unnatural stimulation only leaves

ANEgD0PE OF GEN WASHINGTON.
When the British troops kept pos
session Of New York, ard w ashington
with the American army lying in the
neighborhood of West Point, one
morning at sunrise / went forth to
bring home the cows; ON passing a
clump of brush wood heard moan
ing sound, like a person in distress.
| stood behind tree, and heard the
words of man at prayer listened;
the man came forth it was George
Washington, the Captain of the Lords
host in North America.
The farmer by whom this was rela-
ted at the time, belonged to the Soci-
ETY. of Friends, who, being opposed to
war under any pretext, were lukewarm
and in some cases opposed to the
cause of the country however, hay-
ing seen Washington enter the camp,
he went to his own house. Martha, y
said he to his wife, 1--WE must not OPP
pose this war any longer. This morn
ing I heard the man George Washing
ton send mp prayer to Heaven for
his country, and I know it will be
heard. > This farmer dwelt between
the lines, and sent Washington certain
items concerning themoyements of the
enemy, which did good service tothe
good cause.
From thisincident we may infer that
Washington arose with the sun to
pray for his country, he fought for her
at meridian, and be watched for'her IN
