"Stop, Lelia, or you will deeply wrong me aho, I mot this loved one, as I bave said before, long years ago in one of the sweetest and sunniest vales of our broad Illinois ; wandered with her hund in hand, for years, be side the sparkling waters of our child lioood'a home.-H-Flrst by hermila of exquitiito sweetness she tnuglit my hrfiirt that she loved me with unutur &hlo fondness; and never have I doubted) my trust in her hits ever boer. steadfast arid true; never have hor eyes looked coldly upon me, and never will they, till tho death angel shall dim them for tho long sleep. Oft in tho Bti.l hours of night have I been awukencd, us if by the gentlo fanning of tho steep-god'a wii'g, and beheld thnt face, those eyes gazing upon me wiih all tho beautiful tenderness of a guarding angel over a repentant prod itlitl : and a hiss would full upon my brow more soothing than the dowa of liermon. 1 he same gontle hands has led mo alonir Hfo's flowory wuv, and beside its unl'uflled water; and if vJ er my arm raised to do a doeu el wrong, or my heart steeled to con ceive it, that gentlo ndmohltory voice camo whispering In my oar, and stay ed the ono midway and drew the iron from tho other. And I do well re member, in my manhood's riper years, when deep sorrow fell upon my soul and I would fuin havo drunk ob livion from the wine cup's fiory brim, that some dark-eyed woman came, and bade me, in the name of God, to shun tho fatal snare j and twining ber arms around my neck, while her eyes beam ed with love's deep inspiration, she poured oil upon the troubled waters, told me of purer hopes and higher aims, and in my car whispered a gol den word that has out-lived all sorrow.

AmkrioansI bliull a civilized people of a great Nation stand passivo and by their silence assent to tho most barbitrons act of tho JOth century, tho butchery in cold blood, by a mon grel ruuo of God forsaken wretches of a mon who by tretichory became a prisonor of war, for what else was Maximilian but a prisoner of war? lie was certainly not a filibuster, for lie would not ooneent to booomo their emperor until a large and poworf'ut delegation of tho roprescntntives of tho Mexican Government waited on him in Europe, and pressed his ac ceptance of the Mexban crown, which he only accepted alter muca reluc tance. History 'tenches that the Mexican people, for nearly tho last half contory, have been incapaoio or sen-government, while Maximilian has shown to tho world that he was the best ruler they ever had, and was doing all thai a wise man could do to du- velope the resources of that country, until betrayed by a Judus Is curiot in whom he hud trusted. ' Maximilian was ono of natures no blemen, becauso ho wits an educated (Jlirixtmn gentleman, and all his acts wore high-toned, chivalrio becoming tho brother of an emperor. He was a brave man and died as bravo men hhould die, but his life was tho most Deautmil pearl ever sacrincou to beastly swine. 'i'lio civilized world will honor and revero his memory, for his many vir tues, for aires to como, while it will shrink with horror and detestation from the peretrators of this most dastardly outrage of modern history. AMnmcAS I lho uiood-nounii Rscobcdo has insolontly and doflantiy declared to the world, that before closing his military career he hope to see the blood of every foreigner spilt that resides in his country. Shall this be so? Out with this ,ioul blot thnt stains tho American Continent! Let us meet in our sirought, that wo may give public exprossloti to our indignation, and let it full on thoso who. in tho eyes of tho Christian world, are morally responsible for the death of Maximilian. Yea, even though it full upon a Secarotary of State, whose little neii, aias, our not, tinkle to save the lil'o of one of tho best men that ever lived.

An ' old Dutch farmer had a hand some daughter, named Minnie, who lately Joined tho Methodist Church, against which the ' old farmor., waj somewhat prejudiced, Theyoungmin iiter, under whose instrumentality Miss Minnie was convorted, visiting her frequently, excited his suspicion that all was not right. Accordingly, ho visited the church on Sunday night, and seated himself, unobserved, among tho congregation. Soon after taking his scat, the mln istof, who was preaching from Daniel v. 25, repeated in a loud volco-tltt words of his text, "Mono, mene, tekel upharsin," upon which the old farmer" sprang to his feet, seized the u(Trl(ht ed girl by the arm, and hurried her out of the meeting-house.

On the evening succeeding tho harvost,' the wheat having boen gathered lit separate shocks, the elder brother said unto his wife i "My younger brothor" is unable to bear tho burden and heat of the day ) " 1 will ariso, take of my shocks and place them with his, with-' out his knowledge." The youngef' brother, being actuated by tho same benevolent motives, said within him self i " My elder brother ha a fumi-. ly, and I have nono ; I will arise, take of my shocks, and place them with his, without his knowledge." Judgo of their mutual astonishment, when on. the following morning they found theirshocksundimininhed.
