Give All to His Country.

An old grayheaded man, upward of
eighty years of age, came in from tho
East this morning by the train, on his
way home to Michigan. He had sad
story to tell of the sorrows of this unho-
ly rebellion. The old gentleman, whose
name is Crane, residing in Wayne coun-
ty, Michigan. had three sons. Two Of.
them joined one of the Michigan regi-
ments and have done good service in
several Of the battles in Eastern Virgil
MIA, The third, not much m ore than a
lad was also anxious to join his brother.
out was for Rotaa time dissuaded from
the step by his father and mother, the
latter having been for years a confirmed
invalid. At last the urgent entraasies
of the lad prevailed. and but short
time since he passed Cleveland on the
way to join their regiments to which his
brothers belonged.
The bloody struggle at Autletam fol-.
lowed soon after; and in that battle the
three brothers fell fighting bravely.
Information was sent homo to the
brereaved parents, and the shock of
news vas so great that the mother, en-
feebled by long sickness, died in few
days. AS soon as she vas laid in the
grave the old man set out for the bat
tie field, with the hope of finding the
bodies of his three sons and bringing
them homo to rest beside that of their
mother. The search was long and
though, but was unsuccessful They
had been probably buried on the field
with nothing to mark we're they lay.
Mr. Crane returns home, bent down
with years and with great sorrow: He
says that he has now no relatives left
dsnothing to live for. Yet does not
regret the sacrifice made on the altar of
his country, and only laments that hs
has not strength to shoulder his musket
and 60 himself to fight against Wicked

: Remarkable Lakes In Portugal.

On the top Of ridge of mountains in
Portugal called Nstrella, are two lakes Of
great extent and depth, especially one of
them which is said to be unfathomable. -
What is chiefly remarkable in them is, that
they are calm when the sea is so, and rough
when il is stormy. 1t is, therefore probable
that they have asubtcrrahcan communication
with the ocean and this seems to be confirm
cd by the pieces Of ships they throw up,
the ugh almost forty miles from the sea-
There is another extraordinary lake in that
country, which before storm, is said to
make rumbiug noise, that may he heard
at distance of several miles. And we are
also told of pool or fountain, called Fer
vcncias about twenty four miles from Com
bic, that absorbs not only wood but lightess
bodies thrown into it, sttch as cork, straw,
feathers, &c which sink to the bottom and
are never seen moro. To these we may add
a remarkable spring near Es.reme, which
petfiies wood or rather encrusts it with
case of stone; but the mes. remarkable cir
cumstanco Is. thai IN simmer it throws up
water enough to turn several mills, and in
winter is perfectly dry

"A Rolling Stone Gathers no Moss,

'Well, what of that j.? Who wants to bo
messy old stone, away In some damp
corner of pasture where sunshine and
fresh air never come, for the cows to rub
themselves against. and for snails and
bugs to crawl over, and for toads to
squat under poisonous weeds?
1t is far better to be a smooth and
polished stone, rolling along in the Draw
ling stream of human life. wearing off
the rough corners, and bringing cut

1t is this perpetual chatting and rub

TuE SABBATH DELIGHT:-The mis-
takes Of friends, as well as the hatred of
its enemies have represented it is as a
day of gloom and austeri,y. A true
Sabbath is just as gloomy as true piety;
just as gloomy as heart can be, that is
at peace with God and assured of heaven
that hears the voice of a loving Father
in every mercy, and sees His hand in
all His works. 1t is true. that with all
this experience of faith and joy; the
Sabbath will minglc confessions of sin
and tears Of repentance, wailings of grief
and prayers for dclivcrance. But the
Sabbath does not make sins or the sor-
rows; it only takes them to n compassion
ate Saviour for relief, and the highes t
p;tcL. of al its ecstacy is just at that
point where the sorrow is turned into
joy Would that all those who late or
dread the day, could have fair expert
en1e of its spiritual delights. What un-
known rcfreshment, what expansions,
what satisfaction it should bring them, 1t
should lie across their rough and shaded
pathway like a CLEAN of sunshine upon
green pastures and still waters. Men

The Task Completed.

The mothers work is never done, unless
GoD takes it from her by Especial providence
until her children arc old enough to stand
aid to act for themselves on the stage Of ma
turc life. From the birth of her oldest to
the aturity Of the youngest she must work,

night, week in and week out, for months
and years, following each other in long sue
ccsSion. We speak not Of maternal work:
Of the labor)of the hands to supply the wants
of the physical nature; the answering Of,
what shall we cat, and what shall we drink

it and if not, we will not sigh, ior fret, nor
covet; for tbs heart work, the solcitude OF
good mother for virtuous and honorable
character in her children, walks forth with
a boldcr, steader step by the side Of frugal
and daily labor, than it is apt to do il sspa-
rated from them.
1t is well known fact that almost all the
true greatness. the noble virtues, the heroism
which the world has seen have arisen from
the lap of security. poverty and toil.-But
the work to which we now refer is that
which every mother, whether rich or poor,
whatever the advantages or disadvantages Of
her circumstances may be, is required by the
most sacred aud rigid obligations to achieve
the assiduous cultivation Of tho intellect Of
her ature of that which makes tho true
man or womun, that which live forever and
