God made the gashing fountain Be made the tuneful rill, And clouds that on the mountain, Their crystal drops distil. He made the mighty river Flow onward to the seal He Is the bounteous giver Of water pure and free. ’TIs water forms the rainbow, And proud Niagara’s fall, And wave, and deep, and billow, That on each other call. It glides ad own the mill-stream, And turns the dripping wheels; Its secret power to Berve us, The art of man reveals. God made the sparkling water, Bright, gushing, cool, and free, For every son and daughter, A healthful drink to be. He made It flow through Eden, For Eve and Adam, too. In fountain, brook, and river, The only drink they knew. The drinkof God is gladdening, To flesh, and heart, and brain, The drinks of men are maddening, ' And scorch with fiery pain, let every son and daughter, The drunkard's portion flee,. And drink the.sparkljn g .water, Refreshing, pure, and free. ABOUT THE'MONTHS—MAY. [From the German.] May, with its 81 days, is the fifth month of the year, and the one which supplies the greatest amoant of enjoyment to the children. The sun shines sweetly, and the flowers are out in abun dance,-while gloomy night, which has little attrac tion for children, gives way more and more to the cheerful and joyous day. Who would not take delight in a beautiful May day? The comfortable warmth which on cold winter days you sought &t the fireside, you now find far more agreeably in God’s fair nature. And pleasant as it may have been in the house with its secret corners to bide in, and with the toys which Christmas time brought you, yet now you willingly leave them all for a run in the fields, and a play in the fresh air. Here a little flower, peeps up to you out of the grass and seems to say, “Pluck me, child, I will go along with you.” There stands a tree loaded with smiling blossoms, and seeming to say, “Spare me, child, and in a few weeks I will drop sweet cherries into your mouth. On another sunny spot the little bird sits and sings in snch a merry strain as almost makes you dance. But if you stretch out your hand for birdie to come home with you and sing so sweetly in the-house, it might answer, Tour house is dose, your house is small, With window and roof and door and wall, In such a trap I never will fall: ' Tirilee! Tirilee! Oh dear are the woods and the fields to me, And dear the blue heavens so high and so free, Let ntm who doubts just come and see s Tirilee! Tirilee! And in the midst of Ms song he would spread Ms wings, and flapping them, he would leap from 'tree to tree and fly away a$ last through the wide expanse of heaven. , . I have beard many a child say I wish it would he always May! But it cannot be always May. The good Cod knows why, apd if you will reflect a little perhaps you can say why yourself. Are you puzzled? Theft let me tell you a story; it is about The Wonderful Child. The little boy Victor wos as pretty as a painting, with ourlj? bait find rosy cheeks, such as are seen hut onee, if ever. Whoever saw little Victor stood fixed with wonder and admiration, and ex claimed: “Ohl but that is a moat beautiful child. His sunny locks and clear blue eyes are like a bright day in May.” This, of course, pleased his father and mother greatly, and when, at one time, some one was thus commending bis good looks, his mother said: “It is a fact that my Victor is the prettiest child in town : if he would only continue so always 1” “But is it indeed your wish," said the friend, “that your Victor, pretty as he is, should always remain so ?” “Tea, indeed,” said the fond mother, as she stroked the boy's curls. “That is the wish of my heart, that he should stay just what he is.” Some angel must have heard her wish; at all events, as the story goes, it turned out just as she desired; little Victor continued to be a curly-headed, beautiful child; his fair blue eyes still had the same look, no duller, no brighter. It was matter of great, ponder to all People for a while, and every one who had not •yet seen him,- went and took his look, and won dered as the others had done. But by and, by it became an old story, and no one cared particu larly to see little Victor. Indeed some began to make fun of him when they met him, and called him “dwarf” and such names. 4nd all the children of his age had grown to be youths and 'iitefi, and had learned something of importance, and had accomplished something for themselves in the world; while Victor still played child’s plays, wore children’s shoes, and rode a hobby-horse; At length his mother came to her senses, and began to talk in quite a different tone. She said to* neighbor; “If my Victor had grown he would have been as large as your Stephen, and as. know ing as fritz, the Alderman’s son.” “Is it your wish,” said the neighbor again, “to have your son frow up and become a man of sense?” “Yes, in eed,” replied the mother. “ That is the wish of my heart, and I should feel happy enough to have it granted.” Whether the angel heard or not I cannot tell, but if the story is true, from that mo ment onward the spell that checked little Victor’s growth was removed, and in due time he grew up to be as tail as the neighbor’s sop Stephen, and m sensible a man as Fritz, the alderman’s son. And now, pleased as the mother was she had learned a lesson. She no longer wished things to continue as they were, and @he never again said: “If it might only continue so with Victor!” She left matters in the hands of another, saying, “It shall be as the good God pleases.” “That is a fable,” I hear von say, “and fables are not true." Yes, hut this fable contains a truth, and if you are so wonderfully sharp, you may guess out its meaning, and tell hie what you think of such an expression as “If it would only always he May!” COMPANY MANNERS. A well-bred man has always the same man iters at home and in society, and what is bad the former is only worse in the latter. It can never be pardonable to swagger and lonnge, nor to carry Into the family-circle the actions proper to the dressing-room. Even wherfi familiarity has nothing shocking in itself, it attacks tke re 8 P ect due 40 the societ y of others, whoever they may be, and presents the danger of a farther breach of it. from familiarity to indecency & tent one step. Thus, not a, part of the dress, not a shoe-string even, should be ar ranged la the presence of ladies. The Hindoos, remarkable &* ike delicacy of their manners, would not alow kissing, scratching or lying down to be represented on the stage, and at least the last three Bhonld never be neraitted in * mixed society Of wen and wo men. There are attitudes, too, which are a transition from ease to familiarity, and should never be indulged. A man may cross his legs in the present day, bat shonld never stretch them •Dart.

A little fair-haired child laid its pale cheek against a pillow of straw. It had toiled up three pairs of narrow dark stairs to gain its miserable garret, for it was a little “bound child,” that had neither father nor mother: so no soft bed awaited its tired limbs, but a miserable pallet with one thin coverlet. It had neither lamp nor candle to lighten the room, if such it might be called; still that was not so bad, for the beautiful round moon smiled in upon the poor bound boy, and almost kissed his forehead, as his sad eyes closed dreamily. . But after a while, as he lay there,' what a won drous change came over the place. A great light shone down, the huge black rafters turned to solid gold, and these seemed all studded with tiny, pre cious, sparkling stones. The broken floor, too, was encrusted with shining crystals, and the child raised himself upon Ms elbow, and gazed with a half fearing, half delighted look upon the glorious spectacle. One spot on the wall seemed too bright for his vision to endure, but presently, as if emerging from it, came a soft, white figure, that stood by the poor bound boy’s bedside. The child shut Ms eyes; he was a little, only a little, frightened, and his heart heat quickly, but he found breath to murmur — .• ■■■>. “ Tell me, who are you?” “Look up, be not afraid,” said a sweet voice that sounded like the harps of heaven; “look up, darling—l am your brother,' Willie, sent down from the angels to speak with you, and tell you to bear all your sorrows patiently, for you will soon be with us.” “What,'yon my brother Willie? Oh, no, thatmtnrot be—Mj InuLhii Willie vvira very pale, and his clothes were patched and torn; and there was a hump on his back, and he used to go into the mnddy streets and pick up bits of wood and chips. But your face is quite too handsome, and your clothing prettier than I ever saw before ; and there is no ugly hump on your back. Besides, my brother Willie is dead, long ago.” “I am your brother Willie, your immortal brother; my body with the ugly hump is dead and turned to ashes; but just as that diedl.wentup to the great heavens, and saw sights that I cannot tell you about now, they were so very, very beau tiful. But God, who is your Father and the holy one of eternity, gave me these bright garments that never get soiled, and I was so happy that I stiapect my face was changed very mueh, and I grew tall and straight; so it is no wonder you do not know me.” And now the little hound child’s tears began to fall. “Oh!” he exclaimed, “If I, too, 1 could go to heaven!” “ You can go,” replied the angel, with a smile of ineffable sweetness; “you have learned how to read?” “Yes, a little.” “ Well, to-morrow get your Bible, and find very reverently—for it is Grod’s most holy book —these words of the Lord Jesus: ' But I-say unto you, love your enemies; bless them that curse you, do’ good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use and persecute you.’ “Do all these, and you shall be the child of your Father which is above.” “ Even if they beat me I” murmured the little bound boy, with a quivering lip. A. ray of light flashed across the angel’s face as he replied, “ The more you forgive, the nearer yon will be to heaven.” In another moment the vision had gone, but dlill the room was all blazing with unearthly ra diance. As the little boy fell back upon his pillow, his wan face reflected the angel’s smile, and he thought, “ I will forgive them, even though they should beat me.” A strain of holy music fell faintly upon his en raptured senses; it grew louder and came nearer and nearer to the head of his little bed. And then a voice—-oh, far sweeter than either of the Others—sang: My child; my little earth child, look upon me, lam thy mother.” * In a moment what emotions swelled the bosom of the lonely boy. He thought of her cherished tenderness to him long years ago, of her soft arms round his neck, her gentle lips pressing his fore head—then came up the cruelties of strangers, who, after she had been put away in the deep ground, treated him harshly. He turned towards her; oh, what a glorious being; her eyes were like stars; her hair like the niost precious gold; but there was that in her face that none other might so truly know. He had doubted —if the first risen was his brother, if the second was his father, but not once did he doubt this-beautiful being was his own dear mother. A little while he kept down his strong feeling; but the thought of the past, and the present over powered him. “ 0, mother, mother, mother,” he cried, stretch ing forth his hands, “let me come to you, let me come; there is nobody in this world like you ; no one kisses me now, no one loves me; oh, mother, mother, let me come;” and the hot tears rained down his cheeks. “ My orphan child,” she said, in low tones that thrilled hiui'to the heart, “you cannot come to me now, but listen to me. lam very often near you when you know it not. Every day lam by your side; and when you come to this lonely room to •weep, my wings encircle you. I behold you suffer,, but I know that God will not give you more sor row than you oan bear. When you resist the evil, I whisper calm and tender thoughts into your soul; but when you give way to anger, when you cherish a spirit of revenge, you drive your mother from you, and displease the great and boly God. “ Be good, be happy even amidst all your trials; and, if that is a consolation, know that thy im mortal mother often communes with the soul.— And further, thou shalt soon be with me.” “Oh 1 mother, mother, mother,” murmured the boy, springing from his bed, and striving to leap towards her. The keen air chilled him, he looked eagerly around—-there was no light, solemn still ness reigned; the radiance, the rafters of gold, the silver beams, the music,- the angels, all were gone. And then he knew he had been dreaming; but oh! what a dream—how strengthening, how cheering; never, never would he forget it. The next morning when he went down to his scant breakfast, there was such a beautifulserenity upon his face, such a sweet gladness in his eyes, that all who looked upon him forbore to taunt or chide him, He told his dream; and the hard hearts that listened were softened; and the mother who held her own babe was so choked with her team that she could not eat; and the father said inwardly that henceforth he would be kind to the poor little orphan bound boy, and so he was. The child found hi? way into their affections; he was so meek, so prayerful, so good; and at the end of a twelve month, when the angels did, in very deed, take him to heaven, the whole family wept around the little coffin, as if he were one of their own. But they all felt that be was in the bright heavens with his brother, his father, and his dear angel mother. Olive Branch. A PHILOSOPHICAL CAT. He la Croix relates the following instance of sa gacity in a cat, which even under the receiver of an air-pump discovered the means of escaping a death which appeared to all present inevitable. “I once saw,” be relates, “ a lecturer upon ex perimental philosophy place a cat under the glass -receiver of an air pump tor the purpose of demon strating that life cannot be supported without air and respiration. The lecturer had already made several strokes with the piston in order to exhaust the receiver of its air, when the cat, who began to feel herself very uncomfortable in the rarefied at mosphere, was fortunate enough to discover the source from whence her uneasiness proceeded. She placed her paw upon the hole through which the air escaped, and thus prevented any more from passing out of the receiver. All the exertions of the philosopher wore now unavailing ; in vain he drew the piston; the cat’s paw effectually pre vented its Operation. Hoping to effect his pur pose, lie again let air into the receiver, which as aw™. soon as the cat perceived, she withdrew her paw from the aperture; but whenever he attempted to exhaust the receiver, she applied her paw as be fore. The spectators clapped their hands in ad miration of the cat’s sagacity, and the lecturer was compelled to remove her, and substitute another cat that possessed less penetration for the crnel and inexcusable experiment. Timb’s Stories of Inventors and Discoveries. THE STJSQ,HEHANNA RIVER. If there be a more beautiful spot on earth than that where the men of Paxton settled, we have never .seen it. Prom its. source in Otsego Lake, where the great American novelist has described it in language that will never cease to be tead; along by its lovely windings, where the Chemung intersects the North Branch, whose beanty has been embalmed by one of our most graceful poets; by the Valley of Wyoming, which lives forever in the imagination of Camp bell, but which is fairer even than the semi tropical fancy of which he was enamored; on by the bold scenery of the meeting of its waters at Northumberland, to its broad glory, cele brated in the New. Pastoral, and its magnificent union with the Chesapeake, every mile of the Susquehanna is beautiful. Other rivers have their points of loveliness or of grandeur, the Susquehanna has every form of beauty 6r sub limity that belongs to rivers. We have seen them all: Connecticut, Hudson* Delaware, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri.. There is nothing like the jar character depends upon -its origin in the New York meadows, its passage through the magnificent Pennsylvania highlands, and the richness of the valleys that lie between the mountains. Every where its course is deflected; it begins a wooded lake ;, it winds a limpid brook by meadows and over silver pebbles; it makes its way, through mountains; it loiters, restingly, by their base; it sweeps in broad courses by the valleys. Its Vast width, in its mad Spiring freshets, when swollen by the melted snows, it rashes from the hills with irresistible force, sometimes causing frightful inundations, leaves, with its falls, island after island in its mid channel, of the richest green, and most sur passing beauty; while those passages through the mountains afford points of scenery far finer than any one would believe them to be from any description, if he has not seen them. The Susquehanna makes the grandest of these passages, just below the mouth of the Juniata. Its course there is several miles long, before it entirely disengages itself from the ra pids, called Hunter’s Falls, which are the re mains of the rocky barrier which once resisted its way. Entirely at liberty, it pours its stream, a mile wide, along a channel some fifty or sixty feet beneath its eastern bank. About seven miles bel6w the mountains, at a point where they look blue in the distance, a sheltering wall from the northern blasts, flows in a little stream Which the Indians called Pexetang, Paixtang, or Paxton. This mountain range is the nor thern boundary of the great valley, which, un derlaid with blue limestone, covered originally with the richest and noblest forest-growth, and including within it the garden of all the Atlantic slope, extends from Easton on the Delaware, by Reading, Lebanon arid Lancaster, by Harris burg, York mid Carlisle, by ChaMbersburg, Hagerstown and Winchester, until it loses itself in the North Carolina hills. The point of greatest beauty in all that valley, is the spot where it is cloven by the Susquehanna. . A hundred and forty years ago, an enter prising young man, from Yorkshire, in England, by descent, probably, one of those Scandinavians who, under the great Canute, held possession of the North of England, and gave its main character to it, made his way to Philadelphia. He married here a lady who came over with a well known Yorkshire family of this city. Im pelled by the same enterprising spirit that brought him fro& the old 'wpi*% arid rising the inevitable eye that Was characteristic of him, he went to the banks of the Susqnehanna. ' He settled for a brief period at a point above Colombia, where the village of Bainbridge now stands, a place much frequented by the Conoy or Gawanese Indians. Brit he was riot satis fied with this location. Exploring upwards along the eastern bank of the Susquehanna, he advanced until, instead of the Conewaga hills at his back and on tbe opposite side of the river, he found the entrance opposite to him of that most beautiful valley, already described, with two fine streams flowing into the river about five miles apart, and on the eastern side an elevated plateau unsurpassed in loveliness in the wide world, with the little Paxton flowing at the base of an elevated slope °r ridge of land. Here he settled, and the ferry across the river to the entrance of the Cumberland Talley, was called after him. ’ His son, the first White child born west of the Conewaga hills, subsequently laid out a town on the spot, and with singular forethought set apart six acres on a noble hill Which rises on the iiorth-west, which he con veyed to the State for public purposes. The capital of Pennsylvania is now built upon it, and the city of Harrisburg bears his name. Presbyterian Quarterly Review. HEALTHFULNESS OF FRUIT. Many persons shppose that fruit is unwholesome, especially for children, because their mortality is so great at the time when fresh fruit begins to abound in market. Undoubtedly the eating of green or partly decayed fruit is injurious to both young and old persons; it was not made to be eaten; though green fruit is little harmful if well cooked. But it is not correct to ascribe the sickness and death of so many children to fruit eating. On ex amining the bill of mortality of any large town, we shall find that the increase of deaths among chil dren in summer is almost exclusively of those un der five years of age, and principally of those under two years. Of course- they eat little or no fruit. The deaths at the same season among persons be tween five and twenty-five, those most likely to indulge too freely in fruits, is less than in winter. The mortality, therefore, of the summer season is more probably owing to the increase of heat than to fruit eating. The excessive heals of the day, followed by exposure to the chilly damps of .th'e evening, may help to account for much of the sick ness of children in-the fruit season. We once met with the following extract from the London Lancet,:®- high medical -'authority. Referring to the health of London during a week in the month of August, the writer remarks:— “ The deaths ascribed to diarrhoea are 126, of which 115 occurred among children. The tender age of nearly all the sufferers, 97 of them having com pleted their first year, is sufficient to dispel the popular error that the use of fruit is the exciting cause.” Now let us «afry the war into the enemy’s coun try. fruit, eaten in moderation, is positively wholesome, and its use is demanded by the pecu liarity of the summer season. The most common diseases of summer, such as diarrhoea,dysentery, and cholera, are bilious complaints, and require anti bilious treatment, fruits are anti-bilious. A kind Providence has caused them ter abound at just the season when they are most heeded. In the winter we may devour meat of all sorts, both fat and lean, and other kinds of food containing much carbon and nitrogen, and no harm will per haps come from it, because the rigors of the season call for such nutriment; and free exercise in the Open air will burn up the carbon; but during the summer season a different style of living is required. Experience shows that during the latter season less meat should be eaten, and a greater proportion of vegetables and fruits. The natives of tropical cli mates long ago found this out, and they act accord ingly; while northerners, going there to reside, and keeping up their usual habits of high living, soon fall victims to bilious disease. There should be moderation, of course, in the use of a good thing. Fruit should be ripe, if eat en raw. It is better to eat it early in the rlfty* &nd the stomach should never be overloaded with it.
