prised near Clamert by a sortie.

es, and kill in many innocent wo-
men and chili en. All authorities

an act coldly
calculated to dmstate the city
and strike terror tj the citizens by
murder and inceij'diarism. The
government proteis loudly in face
of the civilized wjirld at the use-
less barbarism, aid concludes its
manifest statemeits that the in-
habitants of Parisl are undismay-
ed. \

ing the recent disaster and calling
for a, display of all their soldierly
qualities in an effort tor its repara-

jaoiat ,>i'I,cminra t#y tfie array to an

preme effort 011 the part of the
army may yet save the country.
London, Jan. 17.—A special to

derous consequences. The people
do not urge capitulation and cling
to a chance of relief from the forts

city, including Cogent and liathny

rible effect 011 the Prussians.

10th, that the number of prisoners
captured in and since the battles
of Lemans has increased to fully

four wagons are among the spoils.
A dispatch from Versailles says
a German detachment was attack-
ed at Bien on the 14th, by a supe-
rior French force, but succeeded
in escaping by cutting its way
through the enemies lines.
Advices from Laval to the 10th
state that the army of Chausey
has retreated in excellent order,
and reached its new positions.
t)n the 14th inst., 50,000 French
troops left Cherbourg to reinforce
Chausey. Others are to be sent
at once.
•In(life Not.
Make 110 liaste to despise
The proud of spiri; pride lull often is
A11 armor worn to shield from insolent
eyes
Our human weaknesses!
Be slow to Maine his course,
Or name him coward, who disdains to
light—
Courage may be a blind impelling force,
And wrong as well as right.
Alice Oaky.
A Pica for Husbands.
Wives, be not bitter against
your husbands; in comparing them
with other men, be merciful unto
them. Says the Temple Bar:
"Most women have an intimate
acquaintance with some father,
brother or husband; and that ex-
perience, one might imagine, would
qualify their notions of the uni-
versal good conduct and mutual
courtesy of men. But such need
not necessarily be the case. How
is the woman to know that her
husband represents V* sex? Is
she not just as likely 10 imagine
that he misrepresents it, and in
the event of his possessing a some-
what- UTH'erta^-JJ toiiapor, id not
certain to contrast his occasional
sulkiness and peevishness with the
ivariable equanimity of all other
men whom she knows? Indeed,
opportunities must otscur in which
a woman is forced to contrast the
bearing of her husband with those
of their mutual friends. Such
comparisons are very unjust; for
j the husband lias probably come to
I consider that, with one woman, at
■ least, he ought to have the privi-
lege of being honest.
| The husband suffers by the mis-
; take which liis wife makes about
him in general. She fancies he has
more weaknesses than other men,
j simply because she knows more
\ about him than about them. He
I might turn round and say, though
lie would not probably convince
; her, " Don't you imagine that all
I the men you see are invariably so
! heroic as they appear to be before
iyou. A good many of them have
theories about women that would
I make you stare, and most of them
j consider the forced decorum of
j their conduct before ladies a fright-
ful nuisance, to which they must
I submit for the sake of decency.
You can't hear tliem talk as they
I go home, or as they sit in their
club. You don't see them go into
childish rages about cold soup, or
a missing letter; you don't see
them iu their own houses as they
are when your visit is over, or per-
j haps you would think your conju-
gal position not the worst iu the
world. Because they are all pret-
ty speeches, and smiles, and non
sensical, extravagant attention to-
ward you, do you imagine that
they always maintain that admi-
rable attitude? Don't be a fool,
Anna Maria, but believe that all
men are pretty much alike, and
that I am not the monster in tnc
universe."
To Young Preachers.
As to your making or compos-
ing sermons, says Dr. Adam
Clarke, I have 110 good opinion of
it. Get a thorough knowledge of
your subject; understand your
text in all its connection and bear-
ings, and then go into the pulpit
depending upon the Spirit of Gpd
to give you power to explain and
illustrate to the people those gen-
eral and particular views which
you have already taken of your
subject, and which you conscien-
tiously believe to be correct and
according to the word of God.
But get nothing by heart to speak
there, clso even your memory will
contribute to keep you in perpet-
ual bondage. No man was ever
successful preacher who did not
discuss his subject from his own
judgment and experience. Tlio
reciters of sermons may be popu-
lar; but God scarcely ever em-
ploys them to convert sinners, ,or
build up saints in their [most holy
faith. I do not rccominend in this
case a blind reliance 011 God; tak-
ing a text which you do not know
liow to handle, and depending up-
on God to give you something to
say. He will not bo thus employ-
ed. Go into the pulpit with your
understanding full of light, and
yonr heart full of God; and his
Spirit will help you, and then you
will And a wonderful assemblage
of ideas coming in to your assist-
ance; and you will feel the benefit
of the doctrine of association, of
which the reciters and memory-
men can make 110 use. The finest,
the best, and the most impressive
thoughts are obtained in the pul-
pit when the preacher enters it
with tho i>rej«uation mentioned
above."
A Test.
A wealthy bachelor was taken
seriously ill, and immediately a
host of nephews, and cousins as-
sembled round liim, to express
their sympathy. He told them all,
gruffly, that he desired quiet above
everything else; therefore he would
remember no one in his will who
came near him during his illness.
His kindred all departed, but (ton-
tinned to make the most eager in-
quiries as to his progress of his
malady.
His conditisn daily grew worsen-
but 110 relatives visited him with
the exception of a niece named
Josephine, who insisted upon nurs-
ing him during his illness.
" If you are determined to re-
main here," said tho man, "I will
assuredly disinherit yon."
She replied, " You may of course
do so, uncle, if you like; but you
are too ill to be left without any
relations to care for you, and I am
determined to stay."
The sick man died. At the own-
ing of his will it was found that
he had left the whole of his pro-
perty to Josephine; "because she,"
as the will said, "was the only one
of all his relations who had shown
any disinterested regard for him.
The liaby.
Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.
Where (lid you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as 1 came through.
Where did yon get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.
At what a rate that girl's tongue
is going, said a lady, looking com-
placently at her daughter who was
discussing some subject of apparent
interest with a handsome young
clergyman. " Yes," replied a satiri-
cal neighbor, " her tongue is going
at the cu-rate."
