A GALLANT AFFAIR. "a letter from Athens,
Greece, in the London Times, speaking of
the insurreetion in Thessaly, incidently re-
lates the following circumstance, regretting
that il will require long series of such VIC
tories to force the Sultan to purchase peace
by the cession of Thessaly:
One of those brilliant victories has been
won, which is announced as rivalllng the
glories of Marathon. Seventy-fve Greeks
put to flight two thousand Turks, and burned
Greek village before their eyes. The
battle was fought in the plain, within musket
shot of the Greek frontier, and lasted three
hours. Seventy-fye heroes routed two thou
sand coward supported by cavalry and ar
tillery. They fired away all their ammuni-
ton, drew their swords, swore to sup in
Hades, killed one hundred Turks, put the
reEt-infantry, cavalry, and artillery-to
flight, and marched off to VrYsina, which is
probably station ON the road to Hades. A
letter from Surpi, dated the 18th April, re-
cords this act Of fheroism, and concludes with
these words: "Don't believe this is exag-
geration; it is the naked truth. saw it
with my own eyes while was standing on
hill, near the frontier line, overlooking the
| field of battle.m

Here is picture that might have been
painted by the pen of Dickens
"In what other painful event of life has q
good man so little sympathy as when over
come with sleep in meeting timer Against
the insdious seduction he arrays every con-
ceivable resistance. He stands up awhile;
he pinches himself, he pricks himself with
pins. He looks up hopelessy to the pulpit,
as II some some succor might possibly come
thence. He crosses his legs uncomfortably
and attempts to recite chatechism Or the
multiplication table. He seizes a languid
fan, which treacherouslY leaves him in
calm. He tries to reason, to notice the
phenomena. Oh, that one could carry his
pew to bed with himi What tossing wake"
fulness therel what fiery chase after somno-
lencyi In his lawful bed man cannot sleep,
and in his pew he cannot keep awake. Happy
man who does not sleep in churchl Deacon
Towbridge was not that man. Deacon Tow

deacon Marble witnessed the conflict
We have sketohed above, and when good Mr..
Towbridge gave his next lurch, recovered
himself with snort, and then drew out
red handkerchief and blew his nose with
loud information, as if to let the boys know
that he had been asleep, poor Deacon Marble
was brought to sore straight. But, have
reason to think that he would have weather
ed the stress If it had not been for sweet
faced little boy in front of the gallery. The
lad had been innocently watching the same
scene, and at its climax laughed out loud,
with frank and musical explosion, and
then suddenly disappeared backward into
his mothers lap. That laugh was Just too
much, and Deacon Marble could no more
help laughing than could Deacon Towbridge
help sleeping. Nor could he conceal 1t.
Though he coughed, and put up his hand

it, and liked you better for it--so inexperi-

THE ANGEL OF soRRow.-The ministra.
ton of sorrow is often that of an angel. We
know her not as she stands before usher
brow yelled, her celestial form clothed in
the garments OF mourning, The majesty of
her presence only heaven will disclose. Our
hearts shrink. We would keep her from
our circle. But could we see the sweetness
of her glance, could we know how of our
chastened tears she makes pearls to string
upon the hem OF our spiritual garments, how
she cleanses the spotted purity OF our souls,
and, bearing our signs to heaven, changes
them for songs of gladness, we should no
longer tremble at her namei we should not
burden her ministrations with vexed sighs,
but greet her with holy patience. Every
time she came to uswe should receive special
honors, and grow beautiful daily in the sight
Of men and angels.
