A Man Without Country.

The Atlantic Monthly for December con
tains story as terrible in its episodes as it
is fearful in its warnings. Below we give an
outline of it sufficiently comprehensive to en-
able the reader to form a Judgment of its
character:
Philip Nolan, in 1907, was lieutenant in
the army of the West He fell in with Aaron
Burr, and was seduced by that accomplished
traitor into sympathy with h;sschcrcs. Dur
ing Burr's trial Nolan was court martialed at
Fort Adams, Mississippi, as much in fun as
anything else, by his brother officers. When
asked why sentence should Dot be pronounced
upon him fer treason he angrily exclaimed
Damn the United States | wish | NAV
never hear OF the United States again l''-
This was too much for the Loyalty OF the
court. which was composed in part of Re,yioo-
lutionary officers; and they, after consulta-
ton, and laying aside. the humor in which
the trial had been conducted, decided that his
wish should be gratifed
| The sentence, afterwards approved by
President Jefferson, ordered him into the ma
Wy. Instructions were given that never in
his presence should the name of the United
States be uttered that he should never be
| permitted to see his native land. and that his

ed man knew nothing of the United States.
From those who surrounded him he could

papers that came within bis reach every al.
fusion to his country was carefully cut out
the buttons which he wore on his coat bore
no insignia; he fought in the war of 1872
without knowing wherefore he was repeat
edly tantalized 10y homeward voyages, which
terminated as soon as an outward bound
vessel was met; be was ignorant of the
| growth, prosperity, and increased impor-
tance of the country he had cursed; ever
craving some scrap of knowledge. all things
relating to its history were carefully kept
| from him. =
He became unutterably wretched-l literal
lysshomeless, until he found a cou ntry bevond
the grave. Miserable in this horrible isola-
tlon, dragging cut an existence prolonged
beyond the usual life of man, it was not IN.
til he lay upon his death bed that briefly he
learned the story of his country's greatness,
but happily heard nothing of the sad story of

which was brought on by more successful
conspirators than the one who sowed the
seeds of treachery in his heart He died re-
pentant, and begged that his epitaph might
be;
!" He loved his country as no other man
had loved her; bat no man had deserved
less at her hands,"
Whether or not this story be true, it is at
least, an allegory of striking significance
1t shows what would be the condition of

Jesus Christ-Description of His Person.

Foundin an ancient manuscript, which was
sent by Publius Lentulus, President of Ju.
dea. to the Senate of Rome
There lives at this time in Judea man of
singular character, whose name is Jesus
Christ The barbarians esteem him proph-
ct, bnt his followers adore him as the imme
diate offspring Of the Immortal God. He is
endowed with such uuparalled virtue as to
call back the dead from their graves, and to
heal every kind of disease with word or a
touch. His person is tall and elegantly
shaped; his aspect amiable and reverend /.
his hair flows in beautiful shades which no
united colors can match, falling into grace
ful curls below his ears, agreeabIy couching
on his shoulders, and parting on the crown
OF his head, like the head dress of the sect
of the Nazarites. His forehead is smooth.
and his cheeks without spot, save that of
lovely red. His nose and mouth are formed
with exquisite symmetry; his beard is thick
and suitable to the hair of his head. reaching
a little below his chin, and parted in the
middle ike fork; his eyes are bright.
clear and serene. He rebukes with males.
ty, counselsswith mildness, and invites with
the most tender and persuasive language
His whole address, whether in word or dead,
being elegant : braHe and stfieE y eharaossr-
.istiesW seexafe a.bsipg No man has seen
him laugh but the whole world has fre-
quently beheld him weep; and so persuasive
are his tears, that the multitude cannot with
hold theirs from joining in sympathy with
him. He is very modest, temperate and
wise. In short. whatever sil;s phenomenon
may be in the end, he seems at present
man of excellent beauty and divine perfec-
tions; every way surprising the children of
men.
