The Promise Kept.

The following, from on exchange, ia
worth reading. A mother, on the green
hills of Vermont, was holding by the
right hand son, sixteen years old, mad
with the love of the sea- And as she stood
by the garden gate one morning, she said:
Edward, they tell me, for / never saw
the ocean, that the great temptation of
seaman's life is drink. Promise me, be fore
you quit your mothers hand, that you will
never drink" "And," said he, (for he
told me the story,) II gave her the prom
ise,and went the broad globe over, CAL
cutta and the Mediterranean, San Fran
cisco, the Cape of Good Hope, the North
Pole and the South. / saw them all in
forty years, and never saw glass filed
with sparkling liquor that my mothers
form by the gate did not rise before me;
and to-day am innocent of the taste of
liquor" Was not that sweet evidence Of
the power of single word9 Yet that was
not half For" said he, yesterday there
came into my counting room a man of
forty years, and asked me, DO you know
me?' NO Well said he, 4 was once
brought drunk into your presence on ship
board; you were passenger; the captain
kicked me aside you took me to your
berth and kept me there till had slept
off the intoxication you then asked me
if l had mother. 1 said had never
known word from her lips. You told
me of yours at the garden gate, and to-day
am master of one of the finest packets
In New York and came to ask you to
come and see me-"

The Coliseum by Bengal Lights.

The Coliseum by moonlight has been
one of the orthodox sights of Rome, at
least since the day when Byron sang the
enchantment of midnight hour "within
the Coliseum's wall" and probably be-
fore. But new phase of delight has been
discovered of late years in its illumination
by Bengal lights on an extensive scale,
and the display of their effects ON Thurs
day last attracted immense crowds within
and without the ancient amphitheater A
rocket or two sent up from the Meta Sud
ans announced at intervals each separate
effect, and the entire exhibition lasted about
an hour. A military band was stationed
on the hight occupied by the temples of
Venus and Rome, and played alternately
with the band of the Palatine Guard,
placed within the circus The more expen-
sive places for the spectacle were the chairs
down in the arena, which cost three francs,
but the coup d'@ie was certainly from the
outside, and it was ''magnifque ct pas
chere" here at half franc each, and anoth-
er fifty confines, if you chose to hire a
seat. The sight had at least the charm of
being perfectly unique, and the variety
made by the rapid combinations of color,
and changes from red to green, violet, yell
low, white, blue and crimson, were marve-
lousy arranged. The concluding effect of
a complete external Examinations by in
tensest red fire, which rendered visible
every detail of architecture, every trent
Of ruin" all glowing the noblest Tyrian
dye, was something perfectly novel and
unexpected. At the first lighting up from
within, the owls and birds of all kinds,
who other nights are here masters of the
situation, flew wildly out and were dis
tinctly defined against background of
rosy smoke that was ascending and melt
ing into thin air. The spectacle was the
speculation ofthe FuochiSta, the fireworks
maker in ordinary of the Government,
who achieves such marvels twice year at
the Girandola, and his pecuniary successes
Thursday night have led him to announce
repetition, with NEW and startling eff
fects, for next Tuesday. Unlike the Col.
iseum by moonlight, however, the artificial
illumination is scarcely likely to attract
the same people to witness the same sort
of thing twice over within SO short a
time

One Worm Did Il.

One day was walking with some
friends through the Wilderness" at Sud
brook Park, in Surrey, when Dr. Ellis
drew our attention to alarge sycamore tree,
decayed to the core. Hrsg
"That fine tree" said he, twas killed by
a single worm"
In answer to our inquiries we found
that about two. years previous the tree
was as healthy as any in the park, when a
WOODWORK, about three inches long, was
observed to be forcing its way under the
bark of the trunk 1t then caught the
eye of a naturalist who was staying here,
and he remarked, "Let that worm alone,
and it will kill the tree" This seemed
very improbable, but it was agreed that
the black-headed worm should not be dis
turbed. 80,
After time it was discovered that the
worm had tunneled its way a considerable
distance under the bark The next sum-
mer the leaves Of the tree dropped of ear
ly, and in the succeeding year it was
dead, rotten thing and the hole made by
the worm might be seen in the very heart
of the once noble trunk.
"Ah" said one who was present, "let
us learn lesson from that single tree.
How many who once promised fair for
usefulness i'll the world and the church
have been ruined By "a single san i"-Sec-

THE PRooF.-Some years ago French
man, who like many of his countrymen,
had won high rank among men of sci
ence, yet denied the God who is the au-
thor of all science, was crossing the great
Sahara in company with an Arab guide
He noticed with sneer, that at certain
times his guide, whatever obstacles might
arise, put them all aside, and kneeling on
the burning sand, called on his God. Day
after Day passed, and the Arab never
failed till at last one evening the phil
osopher when he arose from bis knees,
asked him with a contemptuous smile,
''How do you know there is God?" The
guide fixed mis- burning eye on the scoffer
for a moment in wonder, and then said,
solemnly, "How do / know there is a
God How did ] know there was man
and camel passed my hut last night in the
darkness? Was it not by the print of his
foot in the sand? Even So and he pointed
to the sun, whose last rays were fading
over the lonely desert, ''that footprint is
not of man"

The HEBREWS AND UNITARIANs.-Dr.
Nathans, Jewish Rabbi, not of the Or
thodox pattern,in communication to the
Christian Register, proposes union be-
tween Jews and Unitarians. He says /:
We are living in a United States /; may
we not live all, too, in united religion ?
As in union there is strength, therefore
say combination of Jews and liberal
Unitarians would enable us to disseminate
through the world those truths in religion
which are advocated by all rational men,
and welcome to all the children of God.
These should be in the form Of tracts,
pamphlets, and such like, which we find
written by Spinoza, Mendelssohn, Canning,
Norton, Clarke, and others. Judaism has
always been true vindicator of pure,
clear Unitarianism, and will, under sci
entifc and rational reform, join to fulfill
the closing of the prayer: "On this day
may the Lord be one, and His name (Which
exists in His people, be one"

AN INFANTS GRAVE.
BY GEO. d. PRENTICE.

"a few months ago stood in the forests of Ar
ansas, at the grave of an infant, buried from al
Wagon
Not in the churchyards hallowed ground,
Where marble columns rise around,
BY willow or by Cypress shade,
Are thy poor little relics laid,
Thou sleepest here, all, alone
No other grave il near thine own.
IT'S we'll, tits well but OH such fate
Seems very, very desolate.
We know not whence thy little form
Was borne through rain, and wind, and storm
We know not what far-off wild
They sought to take thee, lonely child.
We only know thy puny life
Was all unequal to the strife;
And that thy dust is sleeping here,
unwept but by the strangers tear.
Alas, what bitter tear drops stole
From thy poor mothers stricken soul,
When in this dark and gloomy dell,
The damp clods on thy bosom fell
How throbbed her brain, how throhbsd her
heart,
When mournfully she turned to part
From the rude mound her dear one DER
To gaze upon 1t nevermore
But yet it matters not, poor child,
That thou must sleep in this lone wild
Each Spring time as it wanders past,
Its buds and blooms will round thee cast
The thick leaved boughs and moonbeams pale
Will DER thee spread q solemn veil
And softest dews and sl overs will lave
The blossoms on the infants grave.
Farewell l have paused one little hour,
To plant, lone child, this humble flower
Above tiny dust, and now greve
To leave thee as all others leave
Farewell farewell where er stray,
This monrnful scene will with me stay
A picture hung upon the walls
Of memory's dim and sombre halls.

With regard to the probable conseoaen.
ces of this measure the Rev. j. c., Fletcher
states as follows: H.,
"The opening of the Amazon, which oc.
CURED on the 18th of September, 1857 and
by which the great river is free to the
days of all nations from the Atlantic 70
Peru, and the abrogeticn of the monopoly
OF the coast trade from the Amazon to the
Rlo Grande de Sui, whereby 1000 miles
OF Brazilian sea coast are open to the ves-
sells OF every country, cannot fail not only
to develop the resources of Brazil, but will
prove benefit to the bordering Hispano-
American republics, and to the maritime
nations of the earth. The opening of the
Amazon is the most significant indication
that the leaven of the old narrow monop-
ollstlc Portuguese conservatism has at last
worked out. Portugal would not allow
humboldt to enter the Amazon Valley in
Brazil. The result of the new policy ia
beyond the most sanguine expectations.
The exports and imports for Para for DC.
tober and November, 1867, were double
those of 1865. This is but the beginning.
Soon it will be found it is cheaper for all
Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and New Granada,
east OF the Andes, to receive their goods
from ana TO export their india rubber, Gin
chona, &c, to the United States and En-
rope via the great water highway which
discharges into the Atlantic, than by the
long, circuitous route of Cape Horn, or
the trans-I sthmian route of Panama The
Perus and the Madeira are hereaftert to be
navigated by steamers. The valley of the
Amazon in Brazil is as large as the area
OF the United States east of Colorado,
while the whole valley of the Amazon in
and out of Brazil is equal to all the United
States east of California, Oregon and
Washington Territory, and yet the popu-
lation is not equal to the single city of
Rio de Jaheiro, or the combined inhabi-
tants OF Boston and Chicago. 1t is esti-
mated that larger population can be
sustained in the valley of the Amazon
than elsewhere on the globe"

TIE Winona REpUBIIoAy relates

THE Winona REPUBLICAN relates the
following remarkable story.
cat Owatonna resided milliner, Mrs.
Myrick, who was the mother of a young
and fascinating daughter Of about sixteen.
A very respectable young man, named
Odell, had been paying the daughter at
tention for some time, and it was current
ly reported and believed that they were
engaged Matters stood thus when man
from Chicago, or some city further east,
to whom Mrs. Myrick ives indebted the
sum of $4,000; came to Owatonna and
made the acquaintance of Miss Myrick.
He no sooner saw her than he determined
to possess her, and being a man un-
scrupulous as to what means he employed,
he offered Mrs. Myrick to release her from
her obligation of $4,000 if she would give
him her daughter. Whether she required
much urging or not is not known, but she
finally acceded to the proposition There
was another party to be consulted, how
ever, The young and innocent girl
shrunk from the idea of being sold-bar-
tered for price-and that toaman whose
character seemed anything but fair, and
whose purpose appeared colored with dis
honor. She FASTENED to her lover with
the tale, and they promptly decided to
elude the vigilance of the mother and
thwart her miserable designs by speedy
marriage. They took the first train going
east, and were soon, as they supposed be-
yond the Iowa line, but unfortunately they
alighted from the cars, obliged to take
carriage drive to Cresco This delay
gave the mother time to overtake them
She telegraphed to Cresco and had them
arrested, after her arrival, with her miser
able partner in the disgraceful bargain, a
mock trial was had and Odell was held
in custody at her request until she got
started home with her daughter But in
stead Of going to Owatonna the party took
the eastward bound train. The young
girl was almost frantic, and, it is said, at
tempted to leap from the train. 1t is also
reported that She attemptedto jump over
board from the boat at Prairie du Chen.
The young man returned to Owatonna
with his father. The whereabouts of Mrs.
Myrick, her daughter, and the man who
sought to have possession of her, are not
known"

0lergymens Sons.

A New York correspondent of the Bog-
ton Journal denies the saying that the sons
of New England clergymen have generally
turned out badly. He says; "The sons of
a New England clergyman laid the foun-
dation for the leading and the Oldest re-
ligious paper in this city. From the brain
of another son came the telegraph. Anoth-
Ell laid the Atlantic cable. The most en-
inent judges, lawyers, civilians, members
of Congress and princely merchants in this
State, came not only from New England,
but are the sons Of New England clergy
