Men, Women and "Religion. Mrs.

W. Grey, in Fortnightly Review.) Tenderness and its outcome, pity, are as inseparable from true manliness as true womanliness. Quickness and deli- caey of perception are developed by the tails, and where exceptional conditions in a man's life force this exercise upon him, as the normal conditions of women's lives do upon them, it will be found to produce the same results. Self-devotion is but a form of generosity the generosity of those who give themselves, having nothing more and nothing better to give, and. thank heaven, belongs equally to the nobler natured of both sexes.

With regard to religion, it can scarcely be claimed for women that they have, as a sex, more genius for religion than men, seeing that all the founders of religion have been men, and that wherever religion has been held in honor, men have rather monopolized than abandoned it to women. That the latter should cling longer to a form of religion which is falling into decay and contempt is the natural result of" the comparative seclusion from the great intellectual movements of he worlds which force the human mind to throw off, in its process of growth, the old vesture of faith become too narrow for it, and to weave for itself a new one fitted to its new deeds. Christianity, with its assurance of Divine love, its hope of an eternal life, where sin and pain and sorrow shall cease, naturally has the strongest hold on the hearts and imaginations of the weak and oppressed, the weary and heavy-laden, of whom the larger number are women, and the passionate religious feeling which prevailed among the slave population of the Southern States in America, men and women alike, is an instance in point. It may be added, that in the dull, narrow, prosaic lives of the lower, middle and working classes, religion is the only outlet into a larger and brighter sphere, the only window, as it were, through which their souls can look or breathe some breath of the life that is not fed by bread alone. Alas, that the very conditions which make this window so vitallv necessary make it also but too often f-o narrow, so dust-stained, that neither pure light nor pure air can reach them through it The result of this comparison of the moral and intellectual powers of men and women, seems to be that human nature is substantially the same in both, and that the common expression, How like a man! How like a woman should be translated into How like what men S'LIll CACIClseoi wn BARK, In combination with the Phosohates.

IliU THE YOI'XIJ FOLKS. iA of a Tool Cheit. It was a wonder to all the neighbors the friendship between Jos Adams and Lem Cox. Josie was what every one agrees in calling a "nice little boy," nine years old, small for his age, delicate in Iicahh ami aptieuranee.

Perhaps the hulkinir, halt-grown niiin had some mysterious attraction for the small boy. Perhaps it was his admiration for cars and locomotives, as well as for anvboJv in any way connected ith their that led him so often to the flagman's little house beside the street At any rale, not a day passed that Joe did not find an hour or two to spend with I em time gladly taken from marbles, hockey, leap-frog and base-ball. It was late in the autumn when Je confided to his friend that his sole ambition in life was to become a builder of cars and engines, and that which uImh-h all others he as "the only son of his mother, and she was a widow." As she was a dressmaker, and obliged to take a great many stitches for all the dollars she earned, and they were not as plenti- ful ith her as blackberries. Like thousands of other mothers, she was obliged to possess her soul in what patience she could, while her boy, to whom she would have gladlv given her kingdoms of the earth and the riches thereof, had none of the luxuries of life, and, according to his own idea not all the necessaries, one of these last being the much desired tool-chest.

"Ixun Cox has a splendid plan mother," he said one day with a triumphant air. "Plan for what his mother asked, too busv with her work to look at his shin-ing fai e. She did not sympathize very strongly with his friendship for the flagman. "Oh, it's a great secret now, but when we've worked it out I'll surprise you. You just wait." That was not very hard for Mrs.

Adams. She had done a great deal of it in her lonelv, hard working life. "Very well, Josie" I can always trust vou "and no more was said at tluit time about plans and purposes. A change was soon apparent in Josie. He nad alwavs needed a little urging to give the necessary time to his studies, l.uthe seemed suddenly roused to great ambition and tremendous effort, bring-into his tasks new spirit and accomplishing them in half the time.

His mother spoke of this one day. "You like to study more than you used to, Josie." "N-no. I don't, but then you see it it's well, it's a part oi our plan, you know." "Your plan Whose plan "Lem Cox's and mine. Don't you remember I told you "Oh yes, I lulieve I do. It must be a very good plan, Josie I like the way it works." She smiled as she said it, but Josie did not look pleased.

Perplexed, rather, a nd as if there ere a weight upon his mind which was onlv partly removed by the confession. "I don't mean that is the plan, you know, mother, and I just hate this old grammar, anyhow." It was several weeks after this that her attention was drawn to the fact that Josie's ambition, or something else, seemed to have an injurious effect upon him. He lost his temper, also, more than was natural to a boy of his good health and cheerful disposition, neglected his books, snw irritable and absent-minded, and in many ways excited mother's anxiety. She was reading aloud, as was oer custom every night, a few verses from the p.ible the fifth chapter of Matthew "But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil Wver shall smite thee on thy ri'dit cheek, turn to him the othev also "And if anv man will sue thee" at -tiie law and take away thy coat, let him We thv cloak also." mother! tell me what it means. He intei rupted her be sharply that she 'looked up surprised.

Her explanation was simple and satisfactory andat it SiJ-rhe laid his head in lap, saving brokenly -'I thomdit that was it, mother; but I think it's'VettT hard, anyhow. Don't vou know1! told you Lem t.V.x and I were doing something-something I was eoingtotellyousomeday? -Oti yes, and it made you etudy for a ood while. I've bee. sorry to see-" when none will be left, and only tneir deeds remain suid the history they made. When that time comes how precious will be every relic and memento as they are already -refully treasured which may exist, which has" been identified with the great events.

Very many persons, especially since the new interest imparted to relies by that feature of the military fetes, have heard of the bogus) musket" relic of Johnson's Island, and the ingenious attempt of a Confederate officer to escape. General Charles W. Hill, of this city, was in command of the Island. The Confederate was Lieutenant Chas. H.

Pierce, of the Seventh Louisiana. With a piece of wood and some tin, he constructed a false musket, and his plan was to boldly fall into the ranks with tho guard when it was marching out, and escape. He made the attempt, and was detected, in the manner below indicated. He has since died. The relic has been the property of General Hill, and friends of the officer in Louisiana have long desired to possess it.

In doing so they have met with aid and in the manner he-low stated, from those who thoroughly appreciated their feelings. AYithin the past week the relic which was sent forward bv Quartermaster-General Charles L. Young, of this city, to Lieutenant Pierce of the Continental Guards, of New Orleans has been received and receipt acknowledged by Captain Pierce, whose letter is in such handsome and grateful terms to all concerned that, by the kind permission of General Young, we give it entire. CAPTAIN riEKCES EESTOXSK. "New Orleans, November 20, 1870.

General Chaki.es Y'ouxg, Quartermaster General State of Ohio Dear General I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your kind and noble soldier's letter and the relic you so interested yourself in restoring, the projerty of a stranger of whom you had never heard, save through the generous impulses of your friend may I say our mutual friend 'olonel L. It. Uoagland. To him I have already written and to you I now desire to express my thanks for your kind intercessions in my behalf. "That piece of rocgh" whittled wood, partly covered with pieces of old tin, to me and to mine, to the many, many friends of my late brother, and to his fellow ddiers and prisoners, is, indeed valuab'ii.

His comrades feel as I do, and yon can understand ith what interest we handle and gaze uiwn that ugly-looking piece of wood and tin you sent me.

"To you. sir, I am very much indebted, and I sincerely thank you for your kind- ness to me in the matter. And I am happy to know that so true a gentleman and good a soldier as your noble words I indicate has interested himself for me. "I have taken the liberty of publishing a portion of your letter, for our people in this city honor and respect a man whose heart is the soldier's heart and whose i sentiments are so pure. "Should you chance to visit this city, I would le pleased to have the honor of shaking vou bv the hand, and doing any thing in my humble way for your pleasure or comfort.

I have the honor to be, yours in friendship and true respect, Wm. Pierce." S. Will you bear to General Hill his son, and the members of the family, my heartfelt thanks for the delivery of the relic? Be so kind as to say to them all, that their appreciation of a soldier's gallantry and ingenuity, though at the time a foe, has been proved in the keeping so long a time a relic of those terrible days never, never to come again. Will yo'u thank General Hill, even at this late day, for his generous treatment of a prisoner so often attempting escape his kindness being universally commended by the many prisoners from Johnson's Island now living here. Be pleased to convey to them all my gratefulness of their kindness.

Yours W. The following isthe New Orleans Democrat's allusion to the matter, and the publication al ove referred to, in its issue of the same date as Captain Pierce's letter: "ax interesting relic." "Captain Win. Pierce, of the Conti nental Guards, has just received from i Toledo, a musket of peculiar make, to which is connected a bit of history well worth being kept on record. "Ilis brother. Lieutenant Charles II.

Pierce, of the Seventh Louisiana Regiment, and as gallant an officer as ever drew sword, was in the winter of 1864-5 a prisoner on Johnson's Island, General Hill being at that time the Federal commander of the fort. Lieutenant Pierce, who, it seems, did not like his compulsory qiuuters, had several times attempted to escape, but each time without success. He at last struck ujioii a plan. Picking up all the tinware he could obtain, and working in secret all the time, he manufactured a musket (taking five months to do it), and when this work was accomplished, having secured a Yankee overcoat and cap, he fell in one evening with the guard, and marched with them out of camp. But he had forgotten one thing.

As fortune would have it, the officer of the guard was lynx-eyed, and noticing that one of the detail had no cartridge box, reprimanded him. and immediately called for an inspection of arms. This, of course, led to the capture of the tin gun and the reincarceration of the prisoner where he belonged by the rules of war. The gun was handed over to General Hill, who was commanding the past, and after much correspondence, through the agency of Colonel L. R.

Hoaglaud, Acting Adjutant ieneral of the State of Ohio, General Hill and General Charles L. Young, Quartermaster General of Ohio, 1 returned to Captain Pierce. "Inclosing his letter of advice, General Young says to Captain Pierce 'I am glad to lie able to serve you in this way, for my soldier's heart always goes out in kindly sympathy toward those who faced us so often as valiant men. I honor a soldier the world over, and can mourn his taking off in fullest and tenderest accord with loving and kindred "We understaei. it is Captain Pierce's intention to present the relic to the Army of Northern Virginia." It but adds to the interest, to note that the paper from which is the above, the Democrat, is'edited by Major E.
