her lend me a hundred dollars. She is ! i ich, and perhaps she will give it to me.' William did not like to have her do so, but the perils in his path finally induced hiui to consent. On the strength of the letter, he could put Spike off for a week or two. There was something to hope for, at least, and William ate his breakfast and felt much easier. He did not consider that borrowing the money to pay the debt, was only transferring, not canceling it. But he looked only to the present. If he could escape his creditors this time, he did not fear for the future. It was a quarter of eight o'clock, and he was required to be at the office as soon as the porter opened the crate. Mr- Mason was the agent of the Bragg Corporation, and a man of large heart and hn f,nlinrc He was not a little ecceu- ' l"c i" somG f his ways. He had views ;and opinions of his own he did his own thinking, and perhaps this is what made him appear odd to some people.

It looked mysterious. Why did Mr. Mason do this? They could not im-j nginc. I On his way over, William paid the butch-' fcr :iml tho baker, and had twenty dollars left, which would just pay his doctor's bill. 4 -1 1 1 . 1 !.

'Spiko versus Bragg Corporation all money due William Taylor,' replied the sheriff. We don't owe Taylor anything,' replied the agent, turning to his paper. 'Don't you?' Show him the pay roll.' Tho head clerk turned to tho roll, and to his surprise found that William's signature was there. Very well,' nodded tho sheriff, I thought I was soon enough.' Of course Spike was mad when the shcr- j iff reported to him. Ho was confident that the business had not -been conducted in the usual manner at the otiiec; so he decided to see Mr. Mason at once. That gentleman received him very kindly, and look him into his private office. 'You've been playing borne game upon m, said Spik, a little excited.

'He was.' Well, what did you deny it just now for?' I did not.' Yes you did.' Be civil, Mr. Spike, or shall have nothing to say to you. I say we did uot pay Mr. Taylor to help cheat you.' I've got a bill against him.' That's your look out.' 'And the law allows me to collect it.' I don't object.' 'He won't pay me. He is a scoundrel, and a swindler!'

Taylor sl,all not.' - - - Spike thought and concluded to accept Mr. Mason's proposition. .'John Randolph said that 'pay as you go, is tho philosopher's stone.' Mr. Spike. When Taylor rides any more, make him pay on tho spot.' I shall,' and Spike left not very well satisfied. But William didn't ride any more, and a few days after Mr. Mason kindly pointed out to him tho philosopher's stone. The young man owned up to all Mr. Mason had suspected. A few days after a letter came from Aunt Hannah. Tho old lady was very sorry the young folks had got into trouble, was glad they had called upon her, enclosed a check for five hundred dollars, for them to commence anew, and entreated them never to get trusted again for anything.

They followed all this good advice, and William and Helen, are now models of thrift.

Reminiscences. It is sometimes useful to recur to the past. There we find history, and it is full of lessons. Wo have history, not ancient' indeed, but more interesting than mere antiquity. And it belongs to the whole country. Therefore it is to us a bond of union. It is somewhat different from the commercial ligament, which may be stronger, but the historical bond is nobler. Never did the difference between a narrowminded demagogue, and a large-hearted statesman, appear more striking, than in the instance of two Massachusetts Senators, Webster and Sumner. It is known that while Sumner raved of Bunker Hill and other fields in the most sophomorical

manner, all togloiify the Yankees, whodidjmc Union!

not need his glorification. Webster in his great speech, with a simplicity infinitely above the arts of a fulsome rhetoris, while vindicating the North, paid full justice to . ' the South, which Sumner denied, adding ridicule to falsehood. Webster drew a ... . f . . . sPltfU P,clu,'e of tll,; umted arrar of the r - ; oriii ami ooum, "fcnouiaer 10 snouiuer, allowing to all merited commendation. Sumner could not expand his mind, seared and wilted by the fires of Abolitionism, to the comprehension of Southern valor, or j Southern statesmaniship. We denounce! this illiberality. It is one of the worst and; most menacing features of the times. In-

jj J stead of this, we ought to be continually j buman life, and have been the staple sub- . -j exchanging pleasant recollections with the'j1 of coiiveraation among ihc young for

So also was Col. Otho H. Wil liams of Maryland, who threw himself be tween Cornwallis and Greene, and by sin "ular vh'il; nee and skill, saved the army from being overwhelmed. How often was the dreaded crisis of des trucliwn averted by the cautious, Fabian policy of such men as Washington and Greene, lt was not by great and dreadful singlo battles, liko those of Pavia and Waterloo, that tho empire of liberty on this Western Continent was decided, but by a series of masterly measures of defense, moral and physical, all converging to one sure result. In Europe, tho conquest of a city ia tho ruin af the State to which it be lons. But though the Biittish held our four metropolitan cities, Boston, New York Philadelphia and Charleston, it was of little ultimate use to them. They never conquered tho peoplo, any more than they conquered the United States when in 1814 tl oy held its Capitol, and burned tho Senate-house. Again, Col. Howard of Mary-

land, a man of small stature, but of great and mighty spirit, fought so admirably at the Cowpens, that after the victory, Morgan, six feet high, seized him in his arms, hugged him and loaded him with eulogies for his brilliant gallantries in a contest that had an important prospective influence on the campaign. Fiually, Gen. Small wood, of the same State, did wanders South and North with his "old Maryland line," and Kirkward's "Blue-hen's Chickens," as his

battalian was called. They fought for New York, for the North, as bravely as for the South. We are reaping the fruits of their toils, wounds and sacrifices, which were for the Umox. Let us bo just to their memories, and thankful for the blessings they conquered for us. We leave omitted Washington from the canvass, as a figure familiar to all.
