Voctß. The Little People. A dreary place would be this earth Were there no little people in it ; The song of life would lose its mirth, Were there no children to begin it. No little forms, like buds to grow, And make the admiring heart surrender; No little hands on breast and brow, To keep the thrilling lose-chords tender; - No babe within our arms to leap, No little feet toward slumber tending. No little knee in prayerlo bend, Our lips the sweet words lending. What would the ladies do for work; Where there no pants or jackets tearing? No tiny diesses to embroider? No cradle for their watchful caring? No rosy boys at Wintery morn, With satchel to the school house Lasting; No merry,shouts as home they rush; No precious morsel for their tasting. Tall, grave, grown people at the door, Tall, grave, grown people at the table; The men on business all intent, The dames lugubrious they're able. The sterner souls would "get more stern, Vareoling,nattlyes more inhuman, ~ And man to stoic coldness turn, And woman would be less than woman For in that clime toward which we reach, ,Through lime's mysterious, dim unfolding Theliule ones with cherub smile Are still our Father's face beholding. So said his -voice in whom we trust, •When in Juda's realm a preacher, Ile made a child confront the proud, And be in simple guise their teacher Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm, Were there no babies to begin it ; A doleful place this world would be, Were there no little people in it. —Linell's Living .Age Niterarg Rotirts.

Gold, Little Harry was looking out of the win dow, watching the rain as it pattered down on the green grass, and bent the flower heads, dancing away over the gravel, and making little pools wherever there was the i least pretence of a basin. It is a pleasant thing to sit snug in your comfortable room and watch the rain, but Harry's brain was busy with another speculation. " Oh, Aunt 'Susan," he said, his bright eyes sparkling, "how I wish it would rain gold dollars instead of rain drops. Woudn't we be rich.". " What if it should rain gold instead of • water drops all Summer ?" 44 Why, we could have everything in the world we wished for then. I would buy little carriage and harness for Carlo, and Annie should have the paint box she wants so bad, and mother would not need to work a bit, and I would get her a sewing machine.' Oh, how nice it would be, Auntie." "But what would you get to eat? noth ing min grow without water." "Oh, we would buy our food, we should have money enough." Yes, but if it rained gold all over the world, no one would have any to sell. All the fields would be parched and baked. The grass would shrink and crumble to dust. The grain would not grow under golden rain. These beautiful shady trees would parch and wither up, and die. There would be no fruit, nor vegetables in any one's garden. The little streams, and many of the wells that afford refreshment to thou sands, would all be dried up, and men and animals would perish with thirst as well as hunger. Robinson Crusoe thought little of the gold he found in the sea chest washed ashore on his Island, for he could buy noth ing with it. Besides, ifgold were as plenty as pebbles, we should value it no higher. Money is of no use except for what it will bring us of the comforts of life. Some one has estimated that every good Summer shower is really worth in money, aliout three millions of dollars. . It produces what will bring that amount. We shall always find, dear Harry, the more we reflect on it, that our Creator has ordered everything a great deal more wisely and benevolently than wp could." A Boy that Nercr Strilica Back. " I wish it would stop raining," said a little boy, looking wistfully at, the window. " Then the grasses would not have their drink," said his mother. Bat I want to see' Johnny Hosting be fore I go to -bed to-night, niother/' , • " Can you not keep from Johnny one afternoon?" asked his mother. Oh," said the little boy sorrowfully,' I struck Johnny this noun, and he's a boy that never strikes back. I want to tell him I am sorry I struck him, and never mean to do so again." A boy that never strikes back ! There can be no quarrelling, no fighting, no strife where that boy is. It is the striking back which makes a quarrel. It is paying an angry person in his own coin that fills families and neighborhoods with strife. The Lord Jesus tells its a better way : " Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Rather than fight take a wrong patiently. That will make the person who wronged ussorry; and it is fir better to make a person sorry than to make him angry. A sorry boy is more likely to do right than an angry boy. Learn of Jesus, my child, who knows the best way to settle quarrels Superstitious Fears. Cyrus and Lydia Lawrence were on a visit to Mr. Scott's. Mr. Scott had a son and daughter whose ages did not differ much from those of Cyrus and Lydia. George and Sarah were delighted to have visitors. They lived in rather a lonely place, nearly a mile from the village. "lam so glad to see you—l hope you have come to stay a long time," said Sarah. How long can you stay ?" " Mother said we must be home by nine o'clock," said Lydia. " Oh, that is good. You can spend all the afternoon and the evening" The afternoon passed very pleasantly and rapidly. A little, after sunset, Cyrus and Lydia got their things to go home. " What are you going lot ?" said Sarah; " are you offended at anything ?" " Oh, no, but we must go home," said Lydia. " You said your mother told you you might stay till nine o'clock. . ," We must go' home now," said Cyrus, "it wont do to stay out so late." "I do n't know what it means," said Sarah bursting into tears ; " I must have done something which you do n't like. I have tried to please you and to make you happy.'' " We know you have, and we have en joyed our visit very much, but we must go before it is dark." "If you are afraid to go in the dark, George and I will go with you. George will take a lantern." " Oh, we are not afraid of the dark ; but we roust go home now: We have a partic ular reason which we did not think or when we came." " What do you suppose that particular reason was? The road to the village passed by the burial ground. They were afraid to pass it after dark. h is true, that Lydia did not think of the graveyard when she spoke of remaining till nine o'clock. What were they afraid of ? Were they afraid of the dead ? Was there any danger that the dead would rise from their graves and harm them ? They knew that the dead would remain quiet i still, they wete afraid to pass their resting place. Did they think that the graveyard was haunted by evil spirits who would rush upon them as they stole along the graveyard wall ? No. They did not believe in spirits after that fashion. of what then were they afraid ? They could not tell. It was a foolish, su perstitious fear. Many persons have superstitious fears many who ought to know better--many who do know better. Superstition should be left to the heathen. It should find no place io a mind which has free access to the truth of — God. It is weak and wicked.— S. S. Times. The Echo. A little boy knew nothine• about an echo; but one day he cried out, as he jumped about in the grass, " Ho ! !" and imme diately from a little, wall close at hand, he heard, "Ho ! H-o-p !" Astonished, he called out : " Who are you ?" and " Who are you?" came..back_ from the wall. " You're a stupid little fool !" cried the boy beginning to be angry. " Stupid little fool !" came from the wall. • The boy grew enraged, in his passion shouted all manner of abusive names; the wall gave them all .faitlifully back again. Then the child searched all over for the mockink, boy, that he might take vengeance on him; but no creature could he find but a harmless pussy hunting sparrows. Indignant and surprised, the child ran home, and complained bitterly how a wick ed boy, hidden somewhere behind the old wall, had been calling him hard names. " There !" said his mother, " you have betrayed yourself! You heard only your own words reflected from the wall, as you have seen your own race, sometimes, reflect ed from a glass. If you had given kind tones and friendly words, kind tones and friendly words would have returned to you again. And so it always is; the conduct from others is but the echo of our own. If we treat others kindly and considerately, they will treat us kindly and considerately in return ; but if we are rough and rude to them, we must expect nothiing more our selves." Chasing the Rainbow It was a warm day in June. --In the af ternoon there was a ;refreshing shower. The drooping plants held up their heads under its influence, and the medows and forests looked as though they had •a, new coat of green. As the shower was passing away, and the sun came out, the rainbow appeared. As the sun was near the borrizon, the bow was a large one. All the members of Mr. Granger's family came gut on the Western porch of the house, to see the beautiful bow of promise. " Father," said James, "see how close the rainbow is to us. It is this side of the pine grove—a good way this side. See ! the end of it touches the ground-close by the wild-rose bush. I mean to run and catch it." Away he ran with all his speed ; but when he got to the rose-bush, the rain bow was not there. It was a little further off. Still it was between James and the pine grove. The gorgeous . colors were thrown in fine relief against the green pines. James hurried on to overtake it, but it receded as lie advanced. When he reached the edge of the grove, it seemed to rest on the centre oT the grove. James gave up the chase, slid returned panting to his friends. " Why did you not catch it ?" said Mr. Granger. "I• couldn't. It would n't wait to let me catch it." "I thought, to be sure," said his sister Martha, " that you would bring me a piece of it." By this time James was convinced that he had done a foolish thing in chasing the rainbow. You set nff rather too soon," said• Mr. Granger. "If you had thought a little and asked a question or two, you might have spared your , :rue labor." PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.--WEDNESDAY, - OCTOBER 28, 1863. " I don't care anything about the labor. One would rather not make a fool of him sdlt." " if you will learn from this incident to think before you act, it will be worth the labor and mortification it has cost you. If a project seems very promising and bril liant, don't enter upon it till you have con sidered it well, and seen wether you can accomplish it. Promptness is an excellent quality, but prudence should go before it." "The pursuit of the rainbow is very much like tie pursuit of earthly pleasure,' said Martha; " the pleasure' is always :a little ahead." Man never is, but always to be blessed." Yes," said the father, " multitudes are engaged jet he pursuit of pleasure as eagerly and as fruitlessly as they would be in pursuit of the rainbow." . " flow strange that they will pursue illusions, when real happiness is within their reach I" " Yes, if they would seek the. Lord as earnestly as they seek pleasure, he would be found of them, and would be their ex ceedinz great reward."—S. S. Times.

I will hazard the assertion that freezing will not injure potatoes, or any other root or fruit; it is the thawing which does the d'amage and not the freezing as is gener ally supposed. Nor will gradual thawing hurt them; it is only when the thawing is too sudden that they are injured. If we take two frozen potatoes, apples, or other fruit, and place one under the stove and the other in water a little above the freez ing point, we will find that the former will be spoiled, while the latter is not injured, because with it the thawing is done gradu ally. Potatoes may. be 'heaped upin the patch and covered with two or three inches of dirt well packed down, and they will keep in spite of a dozen ireezings and thawings, if kept dry. If kept in the cellar it should be in a tight box with a lid, that they may be always in the dark, to prevent sprout ing; fur if they once begin to sprout, the starch which gives them their meanness is changed into other, compounds more favor able to the ventation of the sprouts. If while the potatoes are in the cellar they Should freeze, do not wait for them to thaw, but cover them with straw, old clothes, shavings, or sawdust, and let them thaw very gradually, and they will come out good. This will apply to turnips or any other root, as well as to apples or any other fruits. The main item is to keep them dry, and if buried, to provide drains to carry away the water from the heap.—Vor. of German town Telegraph. ugh Prices For Products. Two . adjoining wheat farmers, some years ago, had a surplus of grain to. sell. Prices were then high, and farmer A. concluded that if be, received SL7S for his crop he would sell, which he did shortly afterwards. Farmer B. held on to his, and a few weeks later made the exulting remark, " You have sold to soon, Mr. A., and ,`I can now get $1.94 for my wheat, and I mean to get. $2 yet" " Very well," replied A., " I hope you will. lam quite satisfied with what I received, and think it a good price, and I would not have had the anxiety which you have experienced and the constant inquiries you've had to make, for the additional price which you get. I have had the sub ject off my mind, and have been actively engaged in other profitable business." Farmer B. kept his wheat for the $2, which it never reached, and the next year, after much further negotiation and some, loss by rats, sold his crop for $1.25. Intelligent and experienced men can frequently make shrewd guesses on the future market ; but guesses often prove wide of the mark, as is shown by the heavy losses or failure of lono , headed produce dealers. It is im possible either for stdek-brokers or tillers of the soil to know when prices havereach eti the exact summit, and very few are so fortunate as to hit this point. Theyshould not aim at it, but be satisfied to receive fair, remunerative prices. Produce dealers are often ruined by paying rates even much below the pinnacle, and farmersshould not expect to receive rates at 'an average which shall break down dealers. We have known land-owners who "saved at the tap and wasted at the bung," who are very close with their neighbors in adjusting line fences, and who are. noted for crowding their lines a little too far into the highway; yet who would allow all the land thus gained, and twenty times as much besides, to be run over with mulleins, Canady this ties, oxeye daisy, and johnswort—who would banter a half a day to save a few cents on a good' bargain, and yet allow whole fields to be diminished in product by neg lected cultivation, or domestic animals rendered poor and unmarketable by want of diligent management and, proper atten tion. The best rule undoubtedly, when prices are low, is not to spend one's *hole time in endeavoring to. get a little more, but to raise better crops, and make larger profits on home management. The difference be• tween good and bad cultivation is often the difference between a full and half crop; and while our.best managers scarcely ever fail of receiving tvrenty-ftve or thirty bush eli-pisr,aere poor farraore, who trust to luck Keeping Potatoes and hope rather than expect to raise a good crop, will not average half this amount. In other, words, they waste a hundred and MY bushels on every ten acre field, and lose say about a thousand dollars on every fifty acres 4 pown. The same difference oc curs in the corn crop. We can point to several farmers who do not fail even in unfavorable seasons to raise sixty or seventy bushels per acre; 'while others, through neglect and nothing else, either in draining, previous manuring, or other preparation, or from a want of cultivation, and general management, do not average thirty bushels. They have poor cattle and poor sheep, and do not receive one-half the prices obtained by some of their apparently fortunate neighbors, who have long since discovered that diligence is the mother of good luck. If these thriftless farmers would spend less time in splitting farthings in a bargain, and mord in rolling out a rich and abundant harvest, or in raising smooth, heavy fat animals, instead of raw bones and lan dpikes, they would find the newly adopted system greatly in their fhvor.—Country Gentleman. Pistellaneons. Petty Faults. There is a sphere in men's lives into which they are accustomed to sweep a whole multitude of petty faults, without judging them, without condmning them, and with out attempting to correct them. We all hold ourselves accountable for major morals, but there is a realm of minor morals, where we scarcely suppose ethics to enter. There are thousands and thousands of little un truths that hum, and buzz, and sting in society, which - are too small to be brushed or driven away. They are in the looks; they are in the inflections and tones of the voice; they are in the actions; they are in reflec tions, rather than in direct images.that are presented.::.T hey are methods of Prod ucii3g impressions that are wrong, though every 'Means by which-they are produced is strict ly right. There is a way of serving that which is wrong, while you are prepared to show that everything that you say or do is right. There are little unfairnesses between man and man, and companion and compan ion, that are said to be minor matters, and that are small things ; there are little un just judgments and detractions; there are slight indulgences of the appetites; there are petty violations of conscience ; there are ten thousand of these plays of the pas-: sions in men which are called foibles,or weaknesses, - , but- , -'which- eat'-like moths. They take away the temper; they take away magnanimity and generosity; they take from the soul its enamel and its polish. Men palliate and excuse them; but that has nothing to do with their natural effect upon us. They waste and destroy us; and'that, too, in our very silent and hidden part. The waves that beat against the ship are not so dangerous to it as plank-boring worms.. Head-winds do not drag ships back any more than the seeds and shell that collect upon their bcittoms. And ships have these silent, hidden enemies, that are quite as destructive as storms and waves. Posts driven into the water seem fair and strong while being honey combed by the worm that eats. In silence and secrecy treasures are thus being consumed. And so it is with man, the world over. While he has his obvious and open enemies, he has his enemies under water, unseen, silent, excoriating, and piercing. I beg of you, therefore, when you lay out the path of duty, and make an invent cry of things to be examined, to be weighed, and to be tested, not only carefully:to enumerate all obvious dangers, but to re member that when the thief is guarded against, when the roof is proof against the elements, when the walls and the windows are sufficient to keep out the wind and the rain, and when the band of greed and ruth less destruction are fortified against, there is Still lurking in the house the active, de stroying, moth-like influences, the ravages of which only ceaseless care and vigilance can prevent A Hibernian Sergeant was drilling an awkward squad of volunteers, and spite of all his efforts, failed 'to bring them into .a straight line.
