A NOBLE BoY.-The spirit that is
steadfast amid trial in devotion to prin-
cipIe, always commands the esteem Of
good men.
The person who is willing TO be made
the butt of ridicule rather than yield to
that which he believes to be wrong, is
worthy Of all praise.
A little drummer-boy in one of our
regiments, who had become great ia
vorite with many of the officers by his
unremitting good nature. happened, on
one occasion, to be 10 the officers tent,
when the bane of the soldiers life was
passed around. A captain handed a
glass to the little fellow, but he refused
it, saying: II am a cadet Of temper
ance, and do not taste strong drink"
"But you must take some now.
insist on it. You belong to our mess
to day, and cannot refuse"
Still the boy stood firm on the rock
Of total abstinence, and held fast TO his
integrity. .
The captain. turning to the major,
said: "H- is afraid to drink; he
will never make soldier"
"How is this?" said the major, play.
fully; and then assuming another tone,
added command you to take 6
drink, and you know 1t is death TO DISC
hey orders"
The little hero raised his form to lis
full height, and fixing bis clear blue
eyes. lit up with unusual brIlliancy, OIL
the face of the officer, said:
"Sir, my father died drunkard; and
when | entered the army, promised
my mother on my bended knees, that,
by the help Of God. / would not taste g
drop of rum, and mean to keep my
promise. 1 am sorry to disobey your
orders, sir; but / would. rather suffer
than disgrace my mother and break my
temperance pledge"
/ The major and his associates are still
in the army, but the little drummer boy
is wounded sufferer in the hospital at

How TO BE HAPPIER.--Said a yener-

relative who lately visited him:
81 have lived on this farm over hall
a century. 1 have no desire TO change
my residence as long as 1 live on earth,
l have no desire to be any richer than
l am now. l have worshipped the
God Of my fathers with the same peo-
pie Tor more than forty years. During
that period l have rarely been absent
from the sanctuary on the Sabbath,
and have never lost but one communion
season. l have never been confined to
my bed with sickness a single day
The blessings Of God have been richly
spread around me, and l made up my
mind long ago that il i wished to be
any happier, must have more re-

A Word 70 THE GIRLs.-Girls, you
want to get married, don't you? Ah!
what natural thing it is for the young
ladies to have such a hankeriDg after
the sterner sexl tits a weakness that
woman has, and for this reason she is
called the weaker sex. Well, if you
want to get married, don't for con-
science sake act the iool about it,
Don't go into a fit Of the nips every
time you see hat and pair Of whiskers,
Don't get the idea into your heads that
you must pat yourself in the way ol
every young man in the neighborhood
in order to attract notice; for If you
don't run after him he will after you
Mark that. A husband hunter is the
most detestable Of all young ladies'
She is full of starch and puckersj she
puts on SO many false airs, and she is
so nice. that she appears ridiculous in
the eyes of every decent person. She
may generally be found at church OF
meeting, coming in, of course. about
the last one; always at social parties,
and invariably takes front seat at con.
certs. She tries to be the belle Of the
place, and thinks she is. Poor grill
You are fitting yourself for an old
maid, Just as sure as the Sabbath comes
on Sunday. Men will hirt with you,

have Of committing suicide. Young

THE IMPORTANCE OF AofEGLx fOTE
It was the casual absence Of = singh
voter that prevented the peaceful ex'
tinction of slavery In ibis country
Listen to the story as told IN the Edin,
burg Review Of October. 1856. in 6
notable and almost prophetic article on
the then Political Crisis 10 the United
States.
| When the American constitution was
adopted, in the year 1889. the territory
Of the Union. then organised into
States. was confined TO the regions
bordering on the Alleghanies and the
Atlantic. Between the Mississippi and
the great North western lakes, lay a
vast tract of country. originally for the
most part. claimed by the great colony
of Virginia ThisS Territory. which
rested to the north upon the possession
of Great Britain, and to the South bor-
dered upon those of Spain. had been
ceded BY Virginia in the year 1874. to
the confederacy. When that cession
was made and upon that very day Of
the cession, one of Virginia's delegates
TO the Congress of the Copiederacy,
mo less a person than Mr.. Jefferson,
drew up and reported plan for the
government OF this territory and "of all
territory ceded or to be ceded by the
individual States" This plan provl-
ded that such territory should be from
time 10 time "formed into distinct
States" and that after the year 1909
OF the Christian era, there should be
neither sl0yery nor Involuntary servitude
in ana of the said States, otherwise than
as a punishment for crime. whereof
the said party shall have been duly
convicted to have been personally
guilty"
The almost unanimous sentiment Of
the leading men Of America was op-
posed to the introduction into the
Union Of any territory not comprised
within the Thirteen Colonies" and
Mr.. Jefferson's proposition was there
fore intended to cover the entire fu-
ture of the Republic. 1t was proc
lamstion Of national policy, and as
such it was at the time received. 1t
was in complete accordance with the
views on the subject which were ex-
pressed by Southern men as well as by
northern.
Had the proposition of Mr.. Jef1er-
son been carried, il would have been
for the American Congress
in its future legislature to depart, but
by an unfortunate accident that PROPOSE
ton was defeated. In the Congress
Of the Confederation the vote-twas
taken by States, and no State could
vote unless represented by two dele
gates. Six Of the thirteen States voted
for the prOviso. three States voted
against it, one State more would have
given it a majority of the Confedera-
tion. Georgia and Delaware were un-
North Carolina was neu-
tralized by the division Of her delegates,
and New Jersey, whose vote would
have saved the measure, was rendered
powerless by the casual absence of one
of her representdtives--a striking Illus
tration of the slight and singular
chances which sometimes determine
the destinies of a nation.
