respectable in numbers. The meeting

Surely, if this be necessary to secure
the cooperation of the banks and the

no hesitation. Even if the system, based

The cedar is most useful when dead. tits
the most productive when its place knows
it no more. There is no timber like it. Firm
in the grain, and capable of the finest polish
the tooth Of no insect will touch it, and Time
himself can hardly destroy it. Diffusing a
perpetual fragrance through the chambers
which it cells, the worm will not corrode the
book which it protects nor the moth corrupt
the garment which it guards-all but immor-
tai itself it transfuses its amaranthne quail
tiles to the objects around it. Every Chris
tian is useful in his life, but the goOdly cedars
are the most useful afte-ward. Luther is
dead but the Reformation lives. Knox,
Melville and Henderson are dead, but Scot
land still retains Sabbath and Christian
peasantry, Bible in every house, and a
school in every parish. Bunyan is dead but
his spirit still walks the earth in its Pilgrims
Progress. Baxter is dead, but souls are
still quickning by the Saints Rest. Cowper
is dead but the "golden apples" are still as
fresh as when newly gathered in the "silver
basket" of the Olney Hymns Henry Martyr
is dead but who can count the apostolic
spirits who, phoenixlike, have started from
his funeral pile ? Howard is dead, but mod
ern phlanthrophy is only commencing its
career. Raikes is dead but the Sabbath
Schools go on. Wilberforce is dead, but tho

THE BATTLE.

The following vivid picture Of battle from the pen
B. r. Taylor Of the Chicago Evening Journal Is remark
able both for the startling actuay in whish it is pre-.
this latter respect II rivals Tennysons immortal song Of
the Charge Of the Light Brigade" The lines below are
extract from the New Years Address that paper
Then the rafting roll OF the musketeers
And the rufaed drums and the rallyng cheers,
And the rides burn with keen desire,
And the singing shot and the shrekng shell,
And the splintery fire Of the shattered hell
And the great white breaths of the cannon smoke
As the growing guns by batteries spoke
In syables dropped from the thunder Of Cop
The throb Of the cloud whore the drummer boy trod
And the ragged gaps In the walls Of blue
Where the iron surge relied heavily through
That the Colonel builds with his breath again,
As he cleaves the din with his " close up, men |"
And the grcan torn oat from the blackened lips,
And the prayer do.ed slow with the crimson drips.
And the bsany look In the dying eye,
AZ under the cloud the STARS 20 by!
But his soul marched on, the Captain said
But the Boy In Blue can never be dead
And the troopers cit in their saddles all,
A. the statues carved In an ancient hail.
And they watch the whir from their breathess ranks
Aud their spurs close to their horses TANKS
And the fingers work, on the sabre hand
Oh, to bid them live and to make them grand
Aud the bugie sounds to the charge at last
And away they plunge, and the front Is passed.
And the jackets blue grow red as they ride,
And the scabbards too that cank by their side,
And the dead soldiers deaden the strokes iron shod
As they gallop right on DER the splashy red sod;
Right into the cloud all spectral and dim,
Right up TO the guns black throated and grim,
Right down on the hedges bordered with steel
Right through the dense columns, then right about

Murrah new swath through the harvest again
Hurrah for the fsg. To the battle, amen!

THE STRENGTH OF WOMAN.

We must hold hard to the conviction that
not merely decent health, but even a high
physical training, is a thing thoroughly prac
ticablc for both sexes. If young girl can
tire out her partner in the dance, if a delicate
woman can carry her baby twice as long as
her athletic husband 0or certainly there is
nothing in the gymnasium more amazing
than the mothers left arm,) then it is evident
that the female frame contains muscular
power, or its equivalent, though it may take
music of maternity to bring it out. But
other inducements have proved sufficient
and the results do not admit Of question:
The Oriental bagaderes, for instance, are
trained from childhood as gymnasts they
carry heavy jars on their heads to Improve
strength, gait and figure; they fly kites to
acquire "statesque attitudes and graceful
surprise they must learn to lay the back o:
the hand fat against the wrist, to partially
benz the arm in both directions at the elbow,
and, inclining the whole person backward
from the waist, to sweep the floor with the
hair. So, among ourselves, the great athlet-
ic resources of the female frame are vindica-
ted by every equestrian goddess of the cir
Gus, every pet Of the ballet. Those airy
nymphs have been educated for their voca-

their dandy admirers may we'll perfer to
contemplate through the safe remoteness of
an opera glass. DR.. Gardner, of New York,
has lately contributed very important profes-
sional observations upon this class of his pa
tents; he describes their physique as inf
nitely superior to that of ordinary women,
wonderfully adapting them not only to the
extraordinary, but the common perils of their
sex, with that happy union of power and
pliablity most to be desired" "Their occu-
patton demands in its daily study and sub
sequent practice an amount of long continued
muscular energy Of the severest character,
little recognized or understood by the COM
munity and his description Of their ha-
bitual Immunity in the ordeals Of womanhood
reminds one of the description of savage
tribes. But it is singular retribution
for our prolonged offences against the body
when our saints are thus compelled to take
their models from the reputed sinners
prize fighters being propounded as mission
aries for the men, and opcra-dancers for the

DON'T sPftL THE GRAVY.

Catlin, the famoiis American traveller and
collector Of Indian curiosities, has seen some
stirring incidents in the course of his adven-
lures. The following is related by fellow
traveller, who gave Catlin the sobriquet of
"Governor
One day, when he had landed, and most
Of our party were lying asleep on the boat,
which was drawn under the shade of some
large trees, the Governor and l collected
some wood and made large fire on the bank
two or three rods from the boat, over which
we were roasting fat pig, which had shot
from the boat during the morning. l was
squatted down on one side of the fire, hold
ing short frying pan, in which We had
made some very rich gravy, which the Gov
ernor, who was squatted down opposite me,
was ladling over the pig with wooden spoon.
All of sudden observed his eye fixed upon
something over my shoulder, when he said
to me in very low tone, Now, want you
to keep perfectly cool, and don't spill the
gravy ; there is splendid tiger right be-
hind you! l held fast to the fryng-pan,
and, turning my head gradually around,
had full view of the fellow, within eight pa
ces Of me, lying fiat on his side, and with
his paws lifting up and playing with one of
the legs Of four Spaniard who had laid him.
self down upon his belly and was fast asleep.
Our rifles were left in the boat! The Gov
ernor drew himself gradually down the bank,
on his hands and feet, ordering me not to
move. was in hopes he would have taken
the old MIME, but he preferred his own wea-
pom, and getting it to bear upon the beast,
he was obliged to wait some minutes for it
to raise its head so as not to endanger the
poor Spaniard; at the crack of the rifle, the
animal gave a piercing sceech and leapt
about fifteen feet straight into the air and
fell quite dead. The Spaniard leapt nearly
as:far in diff, rent direction and at the Same
instant, behind little bunch of bushes on
the opposite side, and not half the distance
from our fire, and right behind the Govern
or's back, where he had been sitting, sprang
the mate, which darted into the th,cket
and disappeared. We skinned this bcaut-
full animal which was shot exactly between
the eyes, and, after all had withdrawn from
the boat, we waited several hours in hopes
that the other one would show itself again /;
but we waited in vain, and lost our game" "

COPPERHEADS.

Mr.. Clement Vallandingham, Member of
Congress from Ohio, made speech last week
in which he avowed himself "copperhead."
Certain editors pearer home have likewise re-
joiced in the title It becomes interesting to
inquire what it means and how it came to be
applied to class of politicians. A copper.
head, according to the American Encyclo-
pedia, is an enormous serpent, the head is
thick the neck contracted, and its scales
smooth ; there are no rattles, the tail being
short; near the flank are rounded dark
blstches +; it prefers dark and moist places it
gives no warning of its proximity; feeds on
mice and small birds, &C., and seldom at
tacks men. 1t is slow and clumsy in its mo-
tons, and q very slight blow suffices to kill
it. 1t is also called "chunkhead" and "deai
adder" It cannot be denied that the anal
ogy between this loathsome creature and the
mean, snesking politicians who are now dis
tracing the Northern mind with cries Of
peace, IS quite striking. Like the Copperhead
the peace party are veEomous in their attacks
on the nation like it their head is undoubt-
edly thick like it their neck and reach are
contracted. Their scales. too, are smooth /;
and they have no rattles to warn the honest
traveller of their insidious approach. Like
the copperhead their character is stained by
dark blotches and like it they "prefer dark
places" to the light of day. Like that sneak
ing reptile their prey is "small, feeble crea-
tures," and they "seldom venture to attack
a man." If we add that our political Copper
heads, like their reptile type, are 50 ''slow
and clumsy IN their motions" that they de-
serve the additional cognomena of '.chunk
heads" and "deaf adders = and that "a very
slight blow" makes an end Of them, we shall
have made the analogy complete. 1t is cred.
liable to the discernment of our Western fcl.
low citizens that SO quickly realized the re-
semblance between the copperhead snake and
the peace politician, and baptized them by
one common appellation. Harpers Weekly.

HOW "ARTEMUs WARD" RAN Az
TER A NOTE.

Our old friend, Charles +. Browne, CAR
temus Ward,') is an incorrigible Joker, and
frequently plays off his "little jokes" at the
expense Of Others but has himself been vic
timized. Not long ago, he delivered lec-
ture in Dubuque, Iowa, and, whilst there,
was the fast friend of all the good fellows"
in the place, who took delight in " showing
him round" and introducing him to the "ele.
phant' that disports itself among the bluffs
Of the Mississippi.
At last the time of departure drew nigh
nc had spoken his piece" and was about
to leave for down the river. The boat was
ready, and number of his friends had con-
gregated on board to see him off.
With the delightful "unpunctuality" that
in times past was distinguished character
istic Of "A. Ward" he remained up town,
saying goodbye" to some Of his friends
until after the time at which the steamer was
announce to start. Then he came rushing
down in hot haste to the levee, the roar Of
the escaping steam from the steamer adding
wings to his haste. As he rushed almost
| breathless toward the boat, he was hailed by
| some OF his friends on board to "make haste
or he would be left behind" whilst some two
or three more shouted that there was "a
note /" on shore for him. just then he
caught sight of the clerk coming out Of the
Office, and asked if it was true that note
for him had been received. The clerk stated
that note had been brought for him, and
was in charge of a gentleman in an Office
which he pointed out, several hundred yards
from the steamer A vision of another prof
table lecture engagement somewhere flash
ed on "A. Wards" mind, and he asked If
there was time for him to run down and get
it. The clerk hestated moment and said
the steamer was behind time, but that If he
ran down and back gerry quick he should be
waited for.
In an instant he gathered up his coat tails
and made the fastest time along the levee
ever made in that ncighborhood, cheered on
by the shouts of the spectators crowded on
the decks of the steamer, the scream of es-
Gaping steam, and the barking of small dog
at his heels. Flushed and breathless he
reached the place pointed out to him, and
asked the clerk if there was ga note for
Charles f. Browne, or Artemus Ward."-
The clerk ret lied that there was, and went
into the back Office to get it. After what
seemed an unconscionable delay, he returned
and placed with grea. gravity in the hand of
A. Ward I" an 0at.
Slowly and solemnly "a Ward" walked
back to the steamer, meditating revenge all
the way, but after getting on board and re-
ceiving the congratulations of his friends on
his speed and bottom" he gracefully "ac
knowledged the grain"
