DON’T SHUT THE BIBLE. ,
“Mother, the icy hand of death
Doth chill my limbs, and stop my breath;
Bead me those sacred words again,
They sooth my spirit, ease my pain.”
She took the precious Book, and read
How JeBUS long ago had said,
“Let little children come to me,
For such shall heaven’s household he.”
She closed and laid aside tKe Book,
And in her arms the sufferer took;
His eyes grew dim, his utterance weak,
But still he struggled hard to speak.
He struggled long! what would he say
Ere death has sealed his lips for aye?
“Don’t shut it up,” at length he cried —
“Don’t shut the Book;” —then calmly died.
“Don't shut itup,” his spirit sings,
While upward borne on angel wings;
“Don’t shut the Bible,” seemed to say
His cold and pallid lips of clay.
“Don’t shut the Bible," still I hear
It-sounding sweetly in mine ear; _
From mom till noon, from nodnitill'Sven,
It speaks to me—a voice from heaven;
“Don’t shut the Bible,” God on high
With threat proclaims,, or man will die:
“Don’t shut the Book,” —a voice of love
Doth ever whisper from above.
“Don’t shut the Bible,” till its light
Dispels the gloom of Pagan nigh t ;
Till sin’s dominion is no more,
And Jesus reigns from shore to Shore'.
WttO IS THE GREATEST'?
.My young cousin Hemy has been reading
Abbott History of Najtoletra Bdnaparteij
One eroding’« we sat together," he laid; e|own
his boOk, and, with glowing cheek and sparkling
eye, exclaimed:..
“Wasn’t he the most splendid man that ever
lived? I’d give anything to be half so great!”,
Mr. Abbott’s portrait so carefully conceals the
blemishes of his hero, and is Set withal in so
dazzling a frame, that I could not wonder at a
bo/s' enthusiasm in contemplating it. Bat I said:
“ Your chance of being half as great as Bona
parte is very good, I think. That is not always
gtokt Whioh consists in brilliant achievement.
The highest greatness is moral; and seeks the
good of others rather than its own 1 glory. I could
tell yon of a more noble hero than Napoleon, who
lived in his oWn time.”
“ t should like to hear of one,” answered Harry,
with an air that said, he Was not. to be convinced.
But he stijl loved a story; so I told him the fol
lowing:
Yearß ago, in the deep heart of a mountain in
Belgium, a hundred men Were working in a coal
mine.
Grim-visaged and dusky, moving about by the
dull, red light of their safety-lamps, they might
have been mistaken for the demons of the moun
tain, once supposed by the peasants to d well in, its
eaves. Their Work was hard, and surrounded by
dangers; hut their wives and children were in the
hamlet above, and long habit made them forget
their perils. So they*might be contented, and
oveii finppy.
The creaking Windlass raised and* towered a
huge bucket through the deep and narrow shaft,
from morning till night, carrying men and tools to
and fro. This was their only doorway.
It was. noonday, anti the sun shone down one
side of the shaft, and brought a glimmer of day
light to a part of the mine, when Hubert Goffin,
the master miner, took his place in the great kibble,
and was let down to the mine, many feet belo,w.
When he reached the bottom, he coiUnienbed
handing some tools and stores to Victor, a blind
miner, who was waiting there. Victor had left a
sick child in one of the cottages, aud it was to in
quire after him that he stood waiting at the bottom
of the shaft.
The bucket was soon emptied, and Hubert Was
just stepping out, when hark 1 What sound was
that which made his obeek pale? It was the
rushing and trickling of Water. The next md
incnt he sight, of, a sttoam forcing itself
through a fissure in the mountain olose .to the
shaft! Hwhe^slpng^experience instantly,showed
him their full danger- It was not a feebre,-oozing .
stream, but a mighty, pressure 1 of water that had
found its outlet here. They would be over
whelmod—-lost I
One foot was yet in the bucket—a jerk at the
rope Would ‘save Bun. But though death stared
him in the face, he.could not sacrifice others to
save himself. Quickly jumping out, he seized
blind Victor, and placed him in the bucket, saying
quickly, as he jerked the rope:
“Tell them the water has burst in, and we are
probably lost; but we will seek refiige at the
further end of the right gallery. Say farewdll to
our poor friends.” In a moment he was gone,
and With him Hubert’s only certainty of escape
from the terrible death. ,
The mine consisted of long, narrow passages,
and on all sides deep caves from which the coal
had been dug.. The men were all at the farther
end of the mine, hewing oat the solid mountain,
unconscious of danger. Hubert quickly made his
way along the dark passage, followed by the swift
spreading water; add soon reached his fellow
workmen with the dreadful intelligence. It was
a moment for panic,, when each would have rushed
to certain death in a vain effort to save himself.
But looking firmly into their ghastly faces, the
master spoke, a few courageous sentences—?-
“hollow my words, lads, and be quick—our
picks may save us!"
Then came a few steady, quick commands, to
hollow a new chamber above the level the water
would probably reach. The men obeyed in silencb,
though each knew not but that he might be digging
his own grave. A hundred pairs of hands soOn
finished the work, and into the cave a hundred
men crowded to wait for death or an almost -im
possible chance of relief. The water gradually
’filled bil the 'old aveuuds and chambers:, ind then
seemed stayed. Never was a situation more dread
ful. Not more than a day’s provisions had been
saved, and already two or three of their number
had been killed by the falling rocks while hastily
digging the .new chamber. The long, dismal
hours, with no change to mark them, brought only
the advance of almost certain death.
Courage, brave Hubert! God,who saw thy noble
sacrifice, will help thoc!
The terrified friends' and townsmen, on hearing
Victor’s dreadful news, ran wildly about in hope
less panic. But soon, guided by the Message
Hubert had sent, they commenced working a new
shaft as near as possible to the spot where the Help
less men might be. Five days and nights they
toiled, digging deeper and deeper into the salid
side of the mountain.
“It is a vain task,” said the men. But the
women cried, “Do not cease! God will help us 1”
At length, on the morning of the sixth day, the
muffled sound of blows from within met the ears
of the workmen in the shaft. A signal ran along
the rope, and/told the news to the waiting multi
tude above, who rent- the air with joyful shouts.
Soon a communication was made. They were
saved—-at least some were saved 1
Who can imagine the.feelings of the unfortunate
men, buried for five days and nights, without; food,
when first the day gleamed in upon them, re
vealing a human face!
Of the hundred who had been imprisoned, over
seventy survived, and with them Hubert. With
out him, indeed, probably no one would have been
spared to tell the story,.
. This noble, act, done in a place and at a moment
when no praise of men could have been looked for,
echoed throughout Europe, and obtained the praise
and gratildde of the world. The ten thousand
miners of liege hailed their fellow-laborer with
delight and pride. Napoleon heard and admired
in his palace in Paris, and sent a reward to the
peasant nobleman. He sent him. his Cross of
Honor, the mark which all the high and great
coveted, and, better still, offered him a pension
which raised him above want for the rest of bis
life.. .
When God unfolds in heaven .the secret charity
of men, many such heroes shall stand revealed,
whom the earth and the waves Have covered;
sending no testimony to the world. Their Father
who seeth’ in secret shall reward them openly.
“GIVE HS THIS DAY ODE. DAILY
BEEAD.”
In a miserable cottage at the bottom of a hill,
two children hovered over a smouldering' fire, A
tempest raged without—a fearful tempest—against
which man and beast were alike powerless. :
A poor old miser, much poorer than these
shivering children, though be had heaps of money
at home, drew his ragged cloak about him as he
crouched down at the threshold of the miserable
door. lie dare not enter for fear they would ask
pay for shelter, and he could not move, for the
storm.
“ I am hungry, Nettie.”
“So am I; I’ve hunted for a potato paring, and
can’t find any.”
“What an awful storm!”
“Yes the old tree has blown down. I guess
God took care that it didn’t fall on the house.
See, it would ceTtainly have killed us.”
“If He could do that, couldn’t He send us
bread?”
“ I guess so; let’s pray 'Our Father;’ and when
we come to that part, stop till we get some bread.”
So they began; and the miser, crouching arid
shivering; listened. When they paused, expect
ing in their childish faith to see some miraculous
manifestation, a human feeling stole into his heart;
God sent some angel to soften it. He had bought
a loaf at the village, thinking it would last him’a
great many days, hut the silence of the two little
ehildren spoke louder to him than the voice of
many waters. He opened the door softly, threw
in the loaf, and then listeried to the wild, eager
cry of delight, that came from the half-famished
little ones!
“It dropped right from heaven, didn’t it?”
questioned thayoungcr. •
“Yes, I mean to love God forever, for giving
us bread because we asked Him.”
“We’ll ask Him every day, won’t we? why! I
never thought God was so good, did you?”
“Yes, I always thought so, but I never quite
knew it before.”
“Let’s ask Him to give father week to do, all
the time, so we need never be hungry again.
He’ll do it—l’m sure.”
The storm passed—rthe miser went home. ' .A
little flower had sprung up in his heart; it was
no longer barren.
In a few weeks he died, but not before he had
given the cottage, which was his, to the poor
laboring man.
And the little children ever after felt a sweet
and solemn emotion, when in their inatinal devo
tions they came to those trustful Words: “ Hive us
this day our daily bread.”
BE. MASON TO HIS SON.
To his little son, afterwards Bey. Dr. Erskine
Mason, when he Was studying in Schenectady,-the
celebrated Dr. John,H. Mason thus wrote:
“There is a little hint, my dear boy, in the close
of your letter to your mother, which very sensibly
touched my heart, and awakened all , my solicitude
for you. You speak of a revival of religion among
the children, and of your endeavoring yourself to
seek the Lord. Oh, should it be so indeed, that
my beloved boy is in earnest about his immortal
soul! Should he have gone from; home toi find
ffbi® hod life eternal! HoW hlhssed Would this
be! How'should my thankful heart pour forth
praise to God for. my mercies I my youngest son, in
the days pf his, early yputh, safe for eternity;
what happiness like thisl/Yes, seek the Lord, my
child, and he will be found;. ; of you. Yon- have
muoh to bo forgiven, although-yon are so young.
Spread it- out before God; confess it without ex
tenuation, and beg of God the >freei f pardon of it
for the sake of the Lord Jesns Christ, I whose blood
cleanseth from all sin. Take care that yon be hot
satisfied with the conviction of sin. Conviction
is not conversion. ‘Ye must be born again.’ ” ...
“ STEIBR STRAIGHT TO BLE/FATHER”
Last week we attended, at the house of a friend,
the funeral of a little child that, after .suffering
for many weeks, had taken: ife departure to the
“ better land.” The pastor offered a few word?
of consolation to the bereaved parents. . He -re
ferred to the often unexpected dealing of Provi
dence in taking away dur innocent prattlers, when
,we can see no reason for the dispensation. One
reason given was, that it is often necessary to re
move our most prized treasures to heaven, that
our hearts may be turned thither. An illustrative
incident he gave was new to us, and left a deep
impression.
A fisherman was accustomed to go oiit in a boat
with his family, and spend the day at a distance
from the shore. As there were frequent fogs, one
of the number was Usually left at home, to ring a
bell as a signal. On one occasion a little son re
mained on shore. During the day a thick fog
settled down upon the water, and the fishers at
tempted to reach the laiid; but the toists grew
deeper and darker, and after rowing vainly in all ‘
directions, despair had nearly suspended their ef
forts. Just then a little Voice came through the
darkness, “ Father! steer straight to me, father,
and you will get home.”
The father renewed his efforts, and by steering
straight in tbo direction of the oft-repeated call,
reached the desired haven. Not long after, the
little lad was taken away by death. The father,
a wicked man, having no hope in this life or that
which is to come, was filled with despondency.
Clouds, mists, and darkness , seemed to close in
around him on every side. While' thus situated,
he seemed to hear from heavenward, “ Father,
steer straight to me, father, and you will get
home.” He obeyed the admonition, and turned
his frail bark, tossed upon life’s boisterous billows,
towards the haven of eternal rest. !
So, said the speaker, it is probahjo our little
ones are often taken away to that higher sphere,
whence we may mentally hear their cherub voices
calling, “ Father, mother, stfeer towards me, add
you’ll get home.”

FAMILY FEAYBE-
The patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
wherever in their pilgrimages they fixed on a place
of residence, erected an altar to God for family
devotion, and called on the name of the. Lord.
Joshua resolved that, as for him and bis family,
they would serve the Lord—that is, worship him.
Job practised ’ family Worship. “He sent and
sanctified his children, and rose early in the Morn
in"- and offered burnt-offerings, according to the
number of them aU; Thus did Job continually.
David, having spent one day in bringing the
ark from the house of Obed-edom to the placehe
had prepared for it; and in presenting peace-offer
ing before the Lord, returned at night to bless
his household—that is, to pray for blessings upon
his family, or to attend upon family devotion.
Cornelius, the centurion, it is said, “feared God
with alLhis house:” meaning worshipped hxui with
his family.
In the Lord’s Prayer we have a command for
family devotion. “After this manner pray ye—
Our Father which art in heaven.” The form of
■prayer is plural. It must, therefore, mean social
prayer, and if social, then family prayer; for a fa
mily Is, the most proper place to ensige in this
devotion. ; f ,
Paul, in his Epistle to the Colossians, having
pointed out the duty of husbands arid wives, pa
rents and children, masters arid servants, adds:
“ Continue in prayer; watch in the same with
thanksgiving.” The subject upon whi'ch he Iras
speaking leads us to conclude he meant family
prayer. . .
. In jiis. Epistle to the Ephesians, he enjoins it
as a duty to “ pray always .with all prayer,”—that
is, tri offer prayer of every kind, arid in every form,
and at every proper season* Family prayer must
therefore be included id his injunction.
GOVERNOR WRIGHT,
Qua Minister to Prussia.
I liad an opportunity, on Sabbath, during .my
stay in Berlin, of seeing how decided is Governor
Wright’s position and iiiflncncc upon the side of
religion, in thisgreat and rather dissolute Euro
pean capital. He called and took me with him,
on Sabbath afternoon, to the American Church;
which it seems is a mission Of the North Metho
dist Church, established in Berlin for several
years. I found about fifty persons, nearly or quite
all Americans, assembled in a room of moderate
size, plainly fitted up as a church. We had an
excellent Methodist sermon from a young Ameri
can Episcopalian, and after the service had con
cluded, Governor Wright arose, and made some
excellent remarks, addressed particularly to the
young men, of whom there were a number present,
chiefly American students. He alluded to the
dangers and temptations to which they were ex
posed, and as one means of keeping fresh the
remembrance of home and friends, and the reli
gions influences by which they were there sur
rounded, he warmly invited them to meet regu
larly with their countrymen in the place oi
worship.
WOMAN AMONG THE ORIENTALS.
As we become better acquainted with,the hea
then, some facts of a seemingly exceptional cha
raeter are added to our knowledge. The follow
ing extract will show the condition of women in
two nations of the remote East, to be somewhat
more favorable than is generally the case. The first,
relating to the'females ofßurmah, is from an article
by Mrs. Mason, of Toungoo, which we find in the
last ‘‘News of the Churches.” She speaks of:—
This free land of Burmah, where women, like:
the dames of ancient Rome, are follow their
owq wills, to go to the bazaar, the theatre* or the
regatta. But, alas for this freedom when the mind
-*nd heart are left jin.C«lt»re41 — Inafcoad-ef ttmt
grttefuFrevefence'which woinah pwes to man for 1
lifting off . from her the crushing burden of seclu
sion, which the refined and educated delight to
give, Burmese women are haughty, insolent, and
supremely selfish.
You know something about woman in Burmah;
of her unbounded influence, yet deplorable 'degra
dation; her strength of character; yet almost utter
•ignorance of letters; her’ persuasive grace and
courtesy, yet most corrupted morals, and ungo
verned passions.. Woman in Burmah is no goddess
of mercy to kiss away the tear from the eye of the
unfortunate;, but she is the chief supporter of all
revellings, the chief wrangler in all gamblings.
It is true that Karen women are not usually bold,
proiud, and stubborn, like the Burmese. They are
more retiring, respectful, and domestic; still,
within the jungle chevanx-de-frisc, as in metropo
litan halls, it is the same. Woman is the teacher
of Burmah. She has but to say, “Go, bring us
slaves,-Great not,’? and the Pant-Bgbai Highlander
rushes forth to kidnap, plunder; and kill. So Was
it at the Bu'rman capital,: when one woman had
only tp;say, “Hive me gold, jewels/and costly at
tire/’and her agents wrought a war between Eng
land and Burmah.
Woman is not here the languishing, facile, indo
lent thing of the zedana, but woman fully and phy
sically developed, strong: to will and to do. There
is, therefore,"hope in laboring for her future im
provement and usefulness, for she can arid must
rise; and from being the votary bf self, the fosterer
of erime, she may become, with God’s "blessing,
the renovator of Bttrmah, arching every threshold
with the roses of virtue, peace, and love, and in
spiring her sons with the holiest purposes.
The other is from Rev. Mr. Martin, missionary
of the Presbyterian Board, .on dn .excursion to
Japan.
The literatnre -of -the Japanese is'tednly bor
rowed: from.’China ;■ but they Have an alphabet Of
their own, the elements of which are likewise de
rived from the Chinese. Their mode of printing
and .binding resemble those of their neighbors,, but
’in oiie respect a glanbe at any of their book stores
‘presents a striking contrast to those of China—
bodks for the education of girls, embellished 1 with
numerous engravings, being here conspicuous,
while there-they are in no demand. In fact, Ja
panese women are fanght to read and write to a
much greater: extent than those of China; and
this is certainly,an auspicious eircun)Btance,that a
sex in 'China,;-excluded, by their own’: ignorance
from the use of the written word,- are here pre
pared to receive it. I everywhere saw advertised
“ The Treaties with the Five Nations,” a fact which
shows that the Government is desirous of render
ing t,he people , familiar with their new relations.
GARDENS.
Many farmers cannot find time to raise those
articles of comfort and luxury which are eaten by
the laboring classes of the cities.
The garden is planted with potatoesf beans, a
little corn to boil with them, a bed of beets and
onions, and perhaps a few tomatoes, so that the
variety of food placed Upon their tables, is not as
large as Would’ conduce to their’ health: and’enjoy
ment. If it can be done, select a piece ‘bf ground
that is sufficiently moist not to suffer by ? drought,
and having measured it well, plow it thoroughly,
if two or three times, so mUeh the better. Those
that are so disposed, can display their-,taste in
arranging the different articles raised, in a.pleasing,
attractive manner, so as to be an ornament to the
homestead, as well as of great service, in supplying
food for. the. family.
In selecting tire kinds of. vegetables’dfid fruits
to be raised; care should be taken to raise such as
ripen at different times, so that' the table will be
well" shpplibd throughout the entire season. A
practical farmer who is in comfortable: circum
stances, once remarked to us that be coiild not
: afford to raise strawberries, and other frnit of like
nature; it would do for those who got theiiijnoney
some other way, but farmers could notafford to
eat them. Now this is a great mistake. Who
has.a better right to the best fruits bf the earth,
than the man who spends his life, in working
upon the soil? - .
