''Leave God to order ali thy ways,
And hope in him whate'er betide;
Thou'lt find him n the evil days
An all-sufficient strength and guide,
Who trusts in Gods unehanging love,
Builds on the rock that noDght can move.
sswhat can these anxious cares avail,
These nsver-eessing moans and sighI:
What can i. help as to bewAIl
Eseh painful moment IS 1t fIes2
Our cross and trials DO but press
The heavier for our bitterness.
1Only your restless heart keep still,
And wait in cheerful hope, content
To take whsts'er his gracious viii,
His all-diseerDing love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmsst wants are known
To Him who chose Us for HIS own.
HE knows when joyful hours are best,
He sends them IS He sees it meet,
When thou hast borne its fiery test,
And now art freed fron all deceit,
He comes to Thee all unaware,
And makes thee own dis loving care
"Nor in the heat Of pain and strife,
Thiak God hath cast thee on unheard;
Nor that the man whose prosperous life
Tnou enviest, Is of him preferred;
Time passes and much change do,h bring,
And sets bound o everything.
SAN are alike before his face:
It's easy to our God Most High
TO make the rich man poor and base,
To give the poor man wealth and joy.
True wonders Stln Of Him are wrought,
Who setteth up and brings 10 nought.
''sIng, pray and swerve not from His ways,
But do thine own part faithfully;
Trust His rich promises of grace,
So shall il be fulfilled in thee;
God never yet forSook at Eeed
Fhe soul that trusted him indeed"

derer. He took the Bible and open

placed his fingers upon verse. There
was silence. The continental soldier,
who had sworn to avenge his brothers $
( death, stood with dilated eyes and
parting lips. The culprit, kneeling
upon the focr, with his face like dis
colored clay, felt bis heart leap into
his throat
Then in a clear, bold voice, the Wild

he is, clings to the widows knees
He begs that one more trial may be
made by the little girl, that child of
five years old, with golden hair and
laughing eyes.
The widow consents. There is an
awful pause. With a smile in her
eye, and without knowing what she
was doing, the little girl opened the
Bible as it lay on its mothers kne !;
she turned her face away and placed
her finger on u line.

JEFF Davis and Crawford the Sculu-

The death of Crawford, the sculp-
tor, brings up the following remiuis-
cence connected with the history OF
his great work, Liberty. The remin
iscence is the shape Of a oorrespon-
dence between Crawford aud the
Chairman of the Congressional Com
mittee on public buildings and lands.
Some members of the committee were
dissatisfied with the helmet which
crowns the statue, and in the course of
letters between them and tho architect
of Capitol extension a correspondence
was exhibited betx cen Mr.. Crawford,
Captain Meigs and Jefferson Davis,
then Secretary of War. In these let
ters Mr.. Davis objected to the liberty
cap as part of the statue. In June,
1855, Mr.. Crawford remitted his first
design. He says: at is quite possi-
bic that Mr.. Jefferson Davis may, as
upon a former occasion, object to the
cap of liberty and the fasces. L can
only say in reply that the work is for
the people, and they must be address,
ed in language they understand, and
which has become unalterable for the
masses. The emblems l allude to
can never be replaced by any inven-
tion of the artist. All that can be
done for them is to add the circlet of
stars around the cap of liberty.
In his reply to Meigs, Davis said +:
GAS to the cap, can only say, with
out intending to press the objection
formerly made, that it seems to me
that its history renders it inappropri-
ate to people who were born free
and would not be enslayed. :: i :;
Why should not armed Liberty wear
a helmet? Her conflict being over,
her cause triumphant, the visor would
be up, so as to permit the display of
a circle of stars, expressive of endless
existence and heavenly birth" The
subsequent history of the statue is
we'll known. Crawford substituted a
helmet, with an eagles head for a
crest, surmounted by az arrangement
of feathers.
Another reminiscence relates to the
panel of the great Washington door
of the new Capitol, on which Wash
ington is depicted rising in his stir
rups in the act of rebuking General
Lee for failing to carry out his ex-
press orders at Monmouth. The
shame east upon the Lee family in
this popular representation, was sug-
gested by JEFF Davis. Who, as one Of
the commissioners, assumed the re-
sponsibility of accepting or modify
ing Crawford's original design.

The World.

All, this beautiful world Indeed. we
know not what TO think of it. Some
times it is all gladness and sunshine,
aud Heaven itself lies not far Of. And
then it changes suddenly, and is dark
and sorrowful, and the clouds shut out
the sky. In the lives Of the saddest Of
US there are bright days ike this, when
we feel as if we could take the great
world 10 our arms. Then comes the
gloomy hours, when the FIRE will neither
buru 10 our hearts nor on our heartbs,
and all without aud within is dismal.
cold, and dark. Every heart has its
secret sorrows, and oftentimes we call
people cold when they are only sad.
There are in existence two periods
when We shrink from any great vicis-
situdes--early youth and old age. In
the middle Of life, we arc indifferent to
change, for We have discovered that
nothing is, in the end, SO good or SO bad
as it at first appeared We know,
moreover, how to accommodate ourseIf to
circumstances, and enough Of exertion
is still left in us TO cope with the event
Butage is heart-wearied and tempesttorn;
it is the crumbling cencsaph Of fear
and hope! Wherefore shoGld there be
turmoil for the few and evening ho urs
when all they coyet is repose They
see their shadow fall upon the grave,
and need bet to be at rest beneath -
Youth is not less averse from chance,
but that is from cxaggcration of its
consequences, for all seems TO the young
50 important, aud so fatal. They are
timid, because they know not what they
fear ; hopeful, because they know not
what they expect Despite the gaiety
Of confidence, they yet dread the first
plunge into life's unfathomable deep.

1t seems scarsely credible that that
wonderful far seeing instrument which
brings the most distant worlds under our
curious ken, should have had its origin
in children's play; yet SO it is. The
children of a spectacle maker in Middle
burg were allowed at times, probably on
wet days, to play in their fathers work.
shop. On one OF these occasions they
were amusing themselves with some
spectacle glasses, when one Of them
placed two together, one before the
other, and looked through them at the
weathcrcock on neighboring steeple.
To the child's astonishment the vane
appeared larger, aud nearer to him
then when seen through one glass only.
The father was called to see the sight,
aud struck with the singular fact, re.
solved to turn il to advantage, His
first plan was to arrange two glasses on
board by means of glass rings, which
might be brought nearer to each other,
or futher off at pleasure. He was
enabled 10 see distant objects more
distinct than before. The next improve.
ment was to place the glasses in tube,
which may be termed the first telescope.
Galileo soon heard Of it, and applied it
to astronomical purposes. The mention
OF this great man recalls to mind his
accidental discovery Of the pendulum.
A correct time measure had long been
a desideratum in the world. Water
clocks had deem tried aud found wanting.
Alfred's candles would not do for the
world at large. Another luckey ac-
cident must supply the want; and il
came as follows: The future astronomer,
then only young man, was in the cathe-
dral Of Pisa. One Of the vergers had
been supplying the lamp with oil which
hung from the roof, and left u swinging;
this caught Galileo's attention and care
fully noting it, he observed that il
vibrated an equal time, aud first con-
ceived the idea Of applying it to the
measurement Of time. Il cost him fifty
years to complete his pendulum. \

Russia Leather.

Tho article known as Russia leather
is superior substance, made from the
selected hides of young cattle, and
tanned by peculiar process employed
in that country. Russia leather is of
three kinds--red, white and black -
The former is the finest grained, and is
extensively used in the manufacture Of
pocketbo books, ladies' handbags, chill.
dren's belts, dressing cases, satchels,
needle cases, and jewel boxes, and many
other beautiful and expensive articles.
The black leather is also very soft and
pliable, and is manufactured into boots
and shoes, which are worn by the ins'
habitants Of the empire and By lbe cit.
liens Of the surrounding nations, and
particularly the Germans. The white
variety is very scarce, and is less sought
after than the other descriptions ofthis
commodity
Genuine Russia leather is very fra

tries. The leather, before being thus
manufactured, is also shipped in consid.
erable quantities TO Great Britain
France, Italy, Germany and the United
States.
Repeated efforts have been made by
tanners 10 other countries to make
leather in all respects corresponding tc
that manufactured in Russia. In nc
instance has the production come up tt
the standard of the foreign article, and
it is supposed that the peculiar proper

Foreign Beds.

IL is curious to notice the habits of

is nothing but carpet, and is carried
