The Clergyman and the Burglar.

The world of fiction hardly contains more
thrilling chapter than an incident which
marked the life Of the Rev. M. Lee, who was
recently cut Gown in his prime, while pastor
of the Presbyterian Church in the village of
Waterford, n. Y. The adventure, says the
Troy Times, occurred on the night before
thanksgiving, few weeks previous to the COM
mencement OF the sudden illness which result
ted 30 sadly and fatally. Mr.. Lee was sitting
IN his study about one o'clock 10 the merniug,
preparing discourse to be delivered to his
congregation, when assembled for Thanksgiv.
ing worship, when hs heard noise behind
hm, and became conscious that somebody was
IN the room. Surprising that neighbor had
dropped in upon ssme unforeseen errand Mr..
Lee said:

IN his chair. He bsheld the grim face of
burglar who was pointing pistol at his breast.
lie ruttian had entered the house by side
window, supposing that oil the occupants were
wrapped IN sumber, and burst upon the pres.
ence OF Mr. Lee before he was aware that the
study contained an occupant. .-
give me your watch and money! said he,
and make no noise, or / will fire.
Mr.. Lee said
I Gu may as well put down your weapon,
for shall! make no resistance, and you are at
lioerty to take all the valuables | possess
The burglar withdrew his menacing pistol
and Mr.. Lee said
Will conduct you to the place where my
most prealous treasures are placed He
opened the door and pointed to cot where
his two children lay slumbering in the sweet
steep OF innocence and peace. These, said
me- arr, are my choicest jewels. Will you take
them ? He proceeded to say that as a min.

possession with the whole course of that river
and the results of such an achievement would
have been infinitely more damaging to the re-
bellion than the capture of every seaboard sity in
the Confederacy.
What shall be the immediate or remote
consequences Of this enlargement depends in no
small measure upon ourselves. If we allow our
selves to relax our efforts, become dependent and
=" blue" the evil results will be tentold multiplied.
IL On the contrary, We endure it like men, with
patient, un.haksr courage,we thall take from it
nearly alhits power for mischief. Then let US, in
good and bad fortune alike, possess our souls in
patience, and with heroic fortitude. We are like
an army fighting. with 10 choice between annihi.
aton, or ultimate triumph. The bridges are gone
behind u.s. There is no honorable or possible ave-
nue. ofretseat. We must cor uer treason, if it
takes us twenty, thirty, or fifty years, or we lose
not only our position, but our existence as a
nation. We would 90 this without a thought of
any other alternative, if for-igs powee were as
sailing US. And if we are worthy the inheritance
transmitted to US by the unshrinking endurance
of the founders of our national structure, we thall
prove that tseir bloed runs in our veins by stand
ing like them, and fighting like them, aud en-
during like them, whether prosperous or adverse
fortune may come to-day, with calm faith and q
patient courage, through years, if need be, Of
Struggle and endeavor, to the end, which we be-.
lieve will be an enduring triumph, in Gods good
time. Let as learn to labor and to wait.

The Rebel Loan.

! A Paris letter says the rebel cotton loan is
not popular in France. The bankers there
d iscsantenance it, as having tendency to pro-
long the war, and as a breach of aestrality The
Government has not allowed tito be published,
and it will not be quoted at the Bourse Also
litter from Halifax states ths $4,000 of the
Confederate loan was put up at auction thew, at
60 cents on dollar, tourd no bidders, and was
withdrawn. And in England although this
gambling transaction appeared to be eagerly en-
/ gagged IN, and the loan was quoted at premium,
it soon began 10 decline ard grave doubts, even,
have been entertained whether in fact it was
subscribed for as stated, 1t was very general
i'm preston abropd that he lean has actually been
taken up by parties who have already advanced
in fferent ways more than they have subscribed
for, and who ale 10 be paid ard guaranteed their
advan ceS by the scrip of the loan. One thing is
quite certain, We believe however, in England,
and tina is, that it was taken il at all, by those
who have been doing their utmost for the last
two years to break up this Republic. Titled men
who have worked, and written, and scbemed and
plotted to stop the growth of liberal ideas in
England fer the last enty years. and who now
think they con conclusively answer such teachers
as Bright and Cobd~s, by pointing to ashattered
Republic as the fruit of Democratic ideas on this
side of the water, will not hesitate to Invest a
few millions of dollars in anything, whether
confederate privateer or a confederate loan, that
can azure our Government. BIZ, while they may
thus putof the day of our fbal triumph, and the
liberation of their own people from the oppres-
sion und sf which they now grosp, they cannot
with all their money prevent the American peo-
pie from working out hereafter, even more per-
fectly than heretofore, the problem of Tree Gov

SPRING TRADE.-The Spring trade promises
to be dull. Boston and New York merchants
have goods on hand which they bought at high
prices, or endeavor to hold at such prices, and
the coun Try cealers buy very sparingly. A re-
cent letter from Nav York says goods which
sold recently for twenty-five cents yard, have
been just disposed of at auction as low as fouy-
teen cents. This decline in, and uncertainty
about prices naturally makes trade sluggish.
But the merchants have had good time and
made heaps ofmoney the past year, and can at-
ord to live idle awhile on the profits of the last
twelve months.
