DENISOX. Come over, ye sturdy German!?; There was never yet a placo Rut where in tho fight for liberty Ye have showu a dauntless face. With your grim Teutonic moustache, And your eye of Freedom's blue, Yc arc a match for the despots old, And the rebels' braggart crew. We are glad to see your legions Tramping our streets adown, Some from the fields of the harvester, Some from u foreign crown; With a front as stjrn as manhood, Of the noble martyr stock, That ha- stood in battles of bloodiest dye, 'Gainst many a mortal shock. (,'omc with your dauntless Sigel, And by the memory Of brave Buldcn and glorious Slafrf, Strike home for Liberty; Yes, bearour sacred banucr, Ye sous of other lauds; Wo trust it sooner with yo than Northoru Traitor hands. And when in dust and ashes, Tho recreant South repents, And peace is writ in goldcu words, On all our battlements, When from the sacred ruins i Of trampled fanes- yo see A glorious temple heavenward rise For God and Liberty Upon its inner altar, Beneath the flags yo bore, Blue with the smoko of battle fields, lied with a nation's gore Yet white with peace Oh ! Gcrmaus I t Your name shall bo enshrined, As patriots who wroto in blood, "Freedom for all mankind." Novices are so incurable as those which men am pt to glory in. Tho man lacks moral courage who treats w'n.'Q ho should retreat. Tlic Discoiilciilc.d Pendulum. When people, now grown, were children, they used to read the following story with profit. We copy it here that children may read it now. Kns. iNDErKxn- KXT. Aii old clock that had sto:nl for fifty years in n fanner's kitchen, without giving its owner nny cause of complaint, early ono summer's morning, before any ono of the family were stirring.suddenly slopped. J I'pon this, the dial-plate (hanged conn-1 tenance with alarm; the hands made a vain effort to continue their course; the wheels remained motionless with surprise; the weights hung speechless; and each member felt disposed to lay the blame on the other. At length the dial instituted a forma! inquiry as t j the cm; of the slag-nation, when hands, wlieels, weights, witli 'no voice, protested their innocence. Mot. now a faint tick was heard bcluw from the pendulum, who thus spoke: "1 confess myself to be the sole chubo of the stoipage, and I atn willing, for the goner al siitisfaction, to assisrq lov reasons. The ! following a.s.-a;;es are iliustralions: The truth is. 1 am tired of ticking." Upon ! man out West whose legs are so long; that hearing this, the old clock became so en-1 'ad to go down cellar to take oil' bis raged, that it was on the very pjiut of strik-1 -'diocs.

Think, I beseech you, how you would like to be fhut up for life in this dark closet, and to wag backward and forward, year after year, as I do.'' "As to that," said the dial, '-is there not a window in your house on mirnoso for you to look through?" "For all that," resumed the pendulum, "it is very dark here, and although there i.s a window, J dare not stop, even for an instant, to look out. at it. Besides, I am really tired of my way of life, and if yoit wish I. will tell you how I took this di.-;gu.-t to my employ ment, 1 happened to be thinking, this j mnrning. how many times 1 should have to tick in the course of the next twenty-four hours; perhaps some om; of ymt above there can tell me the extra sum!' The minute-hand, being quick at figures. pi senlly replied, ''Eighty-six thousand, fun-hundred times." "Exactly so," replied the pviidulum; "well, I appeal to you all, if the very thought of ibis was not enough to fatigue any one; and when I beg in to multiply the strokes of one day by those of months and years, reallv it is no wonder that 1 felt discouraged at the prospect. So after a good deal of reasoning and hesi tation thinks .I to myself, I'll stop." The dial could scarcely keep its countenance during this harangue, but rcsumiug its gravity, it thus replied: " Dear Mr. Pendulum, 1 am really astonished that sr.ch a useful, industrious person as yourself should have been seined with this sudden weariness. Il is true ymt have done a great deal of work in your time; so have we all, and are likely to do; which although it may fatigue us to think oj the question is whether it will fatigue us to do. Would you do me the favor to give the half a dozen strokes to illustrate my argumcut?" The pendulum complied, and ticked six times at the usual pace, Now,' resumed tho dial, "may I be allowed to inquiro if that exertion is at all fatiguing or disagreeable to you!"' '-Not in the least," replied the pendulum, "it is not of six strokes I complain, nor of sixty, but of millions." "Very good," replied the dial; "but recollect that although you may think of it million of strokes in a second, you are only required to execute but one; and however often you may hereafter have to swing; a second will be given- you each tiuio to swing in, which is all the time you can possibly use.'' "That consideration slag, gers me, I confess," said the pendulum. i'Thcn I hope," resumed the ditil-plafo, "that wo shall all return to vuf duly immediately, for tho maids will lie too late in bed if we stand idling thus." Upon this tho weights, who had never been accused of light conduct, used all their influence in persuading him to proceed: when, as if with one consent, the wheels began to turn, the hands began to move, the pendulum began to swing, and o its credit ticked as loud and regularly s ever; while a red beam of the rising sun that streamed through a hole in thowindow-shutter, shining full upon the c'ial-plato, it brighteued up, as if nothing had been the matter. Wncn the farmer came down to break-faast that morning, looking upon at the clock, he declared his watch had gained half an hour in the night. ; The gleeful laugh of happy children is the best home music, and Ihe graceful figures of childhood are the best statmry. Will) I here is a species of humor, peculiarly American, which consists in grotesque hyperbole, the caricaturo ofs i fact which expresses is bettor than a faithful porlrail would do. Some people take the snakeaiid kill it when they wish to show it to us; but the lively Yankee humorist just catches it by tho tail as it passes, and stretches it into ludicrous proportions, as actors in patoini- mes do the tails of those famous ductil dragons, which so astonish and delight children. Instances of this wild and extravagant humor are as common as proverbs. Everybody has heard of the weather which was so cold that the mercury went out of sight, and which no doubt would have been a good deal colder if the thcrmmnctnr had been long-enough. A similaijexaggoration was that of,a young man who took calomel on a morning so cold, that the mercury run down into his boom.

I he mar. wdio was so fat, that his shadow left a greasy trail along tho road as he walked; and the man who was so thin that ho had no shadow at all. Among these deserve to rank the horse that ran so fast around the ring, that tho spectators could only sec one continual circular horse; together with that other mare famous racer, that ran so swiftly about the urewe, that he nearly caught up to himself, and could see his own tail just before him. A fireman once related an advelilue, in which he found himself in a rich saloon, surrounded by wealth and line company. 'I didn't know myself, until I felt in my pockets and found em enqity. Smno one infercd that he wis customa rilv short of funds. 'Thai's so! it steamboats werc-sollin at two cents piece," said be. '1 havent enough to buy a gangway plank!"

He was probably watched by the man whose dickey was so high that he had to climb a fence to see over it. The Tower of Ideas. The following touching and felicitous, illustration of the power of ideas, was given by Wcndtdl Bhillips iu a public speech in New York: I was told to-day, a story so touching in reference to this, that you must let mo tell it. It is a temperance case, but it will illustrate this just as well. A mother on the green hills of Vermont, was holding by the right hand a son 16 yean old, mad with tho love of sea. And as ho stood by the garden gate one morning she said: Edward, they tell me for I never saw the ocean that, the great temptation of a seaman's life is drink. Promiso me before you quit your mother's hand that you will not driuk." "And," said ho, (for ho told me the story,) "I gave her tho promise, and I went the globe over Calcutta and the Mcditerraean, San Francisco and Good Ifopo, the north pole and the south. I saw them nil in forty years, and I never saw a glass filled with sparkling liquor that my mother' form by tho garden gate on the green hill side of Vermont, did not rise belore me; and to-day at the age of sWtv mv lir.s nrn innocent of the taste of liquor. Was not this pwect evidence of tho power of a single word? Yet that was not half. "For," said he, "Yesterday thcro came inco my couuting room a man of forty years and asked mo, 'Do you know me?' "No." "Well," said he, "I was once brought into your presence on thip-board; yon wero a passenger; tho captain had kicked me aside; you took me to your berth and kept me there until I bad slept olT my intoxicaliou. Youthen asked mc if I had u mother. I eaid I had never known a word from her lips. You told mo of yours at the garden gate, and to-dny I am master of one of the finest packets iu New York, aud 1 came to ask yon to ceino and see me." How fur that candle throws its beams!

Let tho preacher who encourages and lead- on thousands to take the life of his fellow-countrymen, take heed least he fall under the denomination, of those murders who shall have "their part in the lakh that burnetii with fire and brimstouc for ever and ever." A n eternity of happiness or misery irj of too much moment to be (rifled with, and 1 will never (rifle with it, although my body be killod a thousand times told. But 1 will rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. I s-icak as a dying man to ono who nni-it sooner or later die. "May we die the death of the righteous, and may our last end bo like his," is my prayer. But our preachers tel' us if wearo scrupulous about taken life in this war, that the Bible requires us ';to obey the powers that bo." Well, I suppose, then, thutif a band of robbers and murderers had captured me at my house, and taken me to the house of a dear brother, I must kill that brother, because, forsooth, they told mo to do it or they would kill me, and they had become the powers that be- What will God do to SUe 1 Slieiuie.lt.is ui mi huur i..o auut 1 1 .. . , . . i. .i i i ci.; fl..,,t- r coi, version of his sacred word.'

I cannot find a man who can givo even a plausible reason for tlii' dreadful war, that is to seal the eternal destiuics of thousands; but they say we are iu it, and that wo must fight it out, or the world will say they whipped us. So, I suppose, that a rebellious son, trampling on and resisting the government of a good t'lther, should continue to resist and beat bis father, lest the" world would say that father humbled his son.

In proportion to the vigor of the individual, thc:o revolutions are frequent, iinti' in some happier mind they are incessant and all worldly relations hang very loosely about hiin, becming as it were a transparent, fluid membrane, through which the form is silwt-ys seen, and not' as in west men an indurated, heterogeneous fabric of many dales, nnd of no settled character-in which the nrin is imprisoned. Then there can be enlargement, as the man of to day scarcely recognizes the nan of yesterday. And fuch thould bo tho outward biography cf men in life, a putting off of dead circumstance:!, day by day, as he renews his raiment day by day. But to us; in our lapsed state, resting not advancing, resisting not co-operating with tho divine expansion, this growth comes by shocks. Tho sure years reveal tho deep, remedial forces that underlie all facts. The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat late assumes the aspect of a guido or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way cf life, terminates an epoch of nfaney or of youth, which wp.s waiting to M 1 11 1 .1 i be closed, breaks up a wonted occuiiation. , ,, . ,. . or a household, or a style or bvint:; and allows the formation ol new ones more J friendly to the growth of character.-t ,-so;i. -Em- As I was approached I was led torcfect on tho lapse of ages, and tho successive generations ot men and in their turn occupying lands, houses, nnu domains; each in their turn di$appearingand leaving their inheritance 'a be enjoyed by others.
