Lose, Peace, and Reposet the tenderest trio
Of musical words ever blended in one—
That one word is Home—'mid the hills of Ohio—
Dear honie of my childhood in years that are gone.
There father and mother,
two sisters, one brother,
With hopes, like their hearts, united, abide,
Their treasures in this world are few; in another,
A heritage holy and glory beside.
In fancy I wander, this avreetiummer morning,
Away to the wheat-field, just over the , hill;
'Tie harvest-time, now, and the reapers are coming
To gather the waiting grain, golden and still.
Many harvests have passed, many Bummers have ended,

Sinop here [oft toiled, with glad reapere,'before;
And felt the great botinty of heaven extended, - •
Giving joy to the worker, and bread to the pace:
Long ago, I remember, when, thirsty and tiring,
The harvesters came to the old maple shade,.
How they quaffed the pure water, so cool and inspiring,
Thatgushedirom the fountain that nature had made.
And I think of the orchard, and the apples that yel
lowed,
Half hidden by leaves in the "big early tree:"
Ah, the apples, bow luscious, when ripened and mel

They dropped in the clover for sisters and mei
Old home of my youth, so.humbled, so cherished,
thy hallowed memory cheers me to-day;

From the Children on the Plains
THE DOOTRESS.
Curtis and Ruth had nearly reached the North
Fork of the Platte, when the road along which
they were travelling suddenly swarmed with
human beings. •There could be no mistaking
those wild, half naked forms, and Ruth knew at
once they were Indians.
Curtis seized his rifle, but in vain. It was
taken from him at the instant by a strong hand
from behind, while a tall Indian at the same
moment took his mule by the bridle.
In silence the whole party now turned off from
the road, down the bed of a narrow stream, that
was now dry.
Curtis looked at Ruth. Her face was very pale,
but it was full of peace, and he strengthened his
own heart with the thought of her faith.
After an hour's silent ride, the whole party
stopped at an Indian village, or encampment.—
Ruth and Curtis were left in charge of two tall
Indians, while the rest of the party gathered
about them—men, women, and children—as if
for a general consultation.
Curtis's mind was full of vague images of tor
ture and death, and he was trying to nerve him
self to bear whatever might come, like a hero.
Ruth meanwhile allowed po visions of terror to
agitate her mind. By a strong effort of faith she
icalized the preeence of her Saviour,' and was
calmly awaiting the result of this singular adven
ture.
About forty white lodges, or huts made of
buffalo skin, were seattered along the green bank
of the riVer. liefcire each lodge were tall poles,
on which were hung a white shield, a spear, and
a buck-skin bag.
After much consultation among the Indians,
Curtis and Ruth were separated.
Curtis struggled to be free,. as he savr Ruth led
away on foot towards the largest of the buts,
before which.hung a great shield ornamented with
curionely painted devices.
The boy's straggles were in vain. Two strong
hands clasped him like a vice, while his two
keepers stood immovable. ,
Full of silent prayer ' Ruth was led from the
glad daylight into the dusky atmosphere within
the tent,
Illoanstrament,.a. tortnre,o29'. savage T ..i3rtiottes
awaited her therei in that silent spot..
Stretched Upori.a rude bed, lay a yodig
girt Her long black hair was pushed back from
her face, and her dark eyes gazed wildly and
eagerly at the new comer.
IL
A returned a look full of wonder and pity.
The Indian girl was wrapped in buffalo robes; !
richly embroidered, and her scarlet leggings and
soft moccasins were wrought in the same manner,
with gayly colored porcupine quills.
Her dress, declared her to be - a person of impor
timee. There was respect, too, in the. manner in
which she was approached by the two Indians
who ushered Ruthinto the lodge.
There was eager expectation in the face of the
sick girl, as one of the Indians, in broken English,
now, told Ruth her story, which was in substance
as follows :
The chief of this band of Sioux or Dacotah
Indians was absent with a party of his braves.
Meanwhile his yOung daughter had fallen sick
with cholera. Full of alarm at the terrible. dis
ease, she at, once believed death certain for her,
and would have herself arrayed as if already dead,
end laid out to await her burial. She affirmed
that there was no hope for. her but from the white
men, who she had heard, had cures for the awful
malady. The Indians had been struck with a
double cause of terror; they not only feared the
disease itself, but the anger of the chief, her
father, should he return and find his child in the
grave.
In haste they had sought the emigrant road,
hoping to find there some persons who would
render them assistance. They brought back our
little travellers, silently, and with speed.
The wiser among the Indians at once said that
these children could do no good to the sufferer.
Then an 'old Indian more experienced than the
others, gravely spoke, saying be well knew that
the overwhelming fear that had taken possessio
of the chiefs daughter was her greatest danger,
and for this he thoughtthey had secured a remedy.
He at once went to the silent tent, where the
poor young Indian girl was lying, and he told her
that a 'pale-faced child bad come among them,
a -wonderful child, who had more power than
many "medicine begs," and that she could cure
the cholera even if the patient were actually
dying.
Hope rallied in the Indian girl's heart when
she heard this news; and now she looked eagerly
at Ruth, as if expecting at once the marvellous
cure. •
The broken English, on which the old Indian
prided himself, was not understood by the chief's
daughter. She had lain in silent expectation
while Ruth listened•to the strange story. "Now,"
said the Indian, "now cure quick—make she
think it, or—" and he shook the spear at his side,
to indicate a dreadful threat.
Ruth would not, even in that hour of danger,
act a part to impose upon the, poor sufferer. At
0008 she resolved what to do. Leaning over the
sick girl, she looked tenderly into her face; then
taking her hand, Ruth lifted her eyes to heaven
and prayed eked. For the recovery of the
stricken girl sheprayed, and for all her people she
asked the blessing of God,—even the knowledge
of his Son, Jesus Christ.
That was praying for effect. Ruth eagerly
longed for , what 'she asked,- and she believed
that she should receive it for Christ's sake. The
wild fright that had been the worst enemy of the
Indian girl, was calmed, as, she looked at Ruth's
sweet, earnest face, and heard tbe clear, musical
tones of her voice. She fancied that the Great
Spirit had sent the young stranger to her relief,
and hope sprang up . in her heart.
Curtis was surprised and rejoiced to see Ruth
come forth safe from the lodge, with an added
expression of peace on her usually placid counts
-11111100.
"She do well! She good doctor!" said the old
Indian, as he drew near to .
Curtis.
Curt* Who had all this time remained, between
41 tie' guards ; was forthwith ushered into one
I small white lodge, and Ruth into an another, left
entirely vacant for their use.
Though dogs, papooses, squaws, mules, and
ponies were thronging round the entrances, none
were allowed to come in. One mother actually
dragged away her creeping, curious child by the
heels, just as he got his head in at an opening in
the curtain to get a peep at Ruth.
Boiled buffalo meat, served up in an old• tin
pan, was first given to Curtis and then to Ruth.
Buffalo skins were handed in to them, and the
interpreter then told them they might as well go
to sleep and get rested, for they would not start
away for that day at least, and, perhaps not for
many more.
Ruth was astonished to.find herself established
in the position of a wonderful dcctress, and forced
to make daily visits to •the lodge of the chief's
daughter, who was evidently recovering. Ruth's
charm was very simple. She did but pray ear
nestly for all the Indian tribes, and as the sick girl
listened she grew better. There' was, indeed, a
charm in Ruth's loving voice and gentle manners,
very soothing to the invalid.
This time of rest was just what Rutbmeded,
—while Curtis was heartily enjoying ` the novel
scene of the encampment and the wild adventures
of his Indian associates, 'Mounted on a good
horse, he went out with fifty of the Indians who
were on a buffalo hunt, and when at evening they
returned, laden with the, most juicy portions of
the slain animals ) he enjoyed the good cheer as
well as his_ companions. Curtis had alwaYs
reckoned his appetite by no means delicatey but
he was astonished at the enormous quantities of
food consumed by the'Sioux knaves.
Indians seem to have the power of laying in, at
favorable seasons, a quantity of food and, strength
for future hardships. A single Indian had been
known to eat, at one sitting, as much food as be
white men would need for a hearty meal.
Anotab, the chief's daughter, daily grew more
fond of Ruth, and her dark eyes were sure to
brighten whenever the pale-faced visitor entered
the lodge. BY Means of the interpreter, Ruth
was trying very, hard to give Anotah a knowledge
of the true God, and the child of the wilderness
was ready to believe all her loVing doetress told
her.
Meanwhile the troops of mules, horses, and
cattle owned by the Indians, had been cropping
close the grass, far, far around the village. The
chief had returned, and had at once given orders
for a removal to better pasturage.
Anotah came out of the lodge to welcouie him.
She made him thank, through the interpreter, the
little "pale face." who bad, she said, saved her
from death.
The chief looked upon the young doctress with
favor, as one who had performed a skilful trick;
but by no means felt towards her the wonderful
gratitude which had taken possession of Anotah.
The village was soon all confusion, as prepara
tions were being made for a prompt removal.
The men did nothing but lounge about and
watch the squaws at their work.
The lodges were taken down and carried off by
their owners. One by one the families moved
away. Like children dismissed from school, they
scattered along the road, all bound in the same
direction, but seeming to have no common plan
about their-movements.
Curtis was pleased to see Bob provided with a
comfortable Indian saddle, on which he was de
sired to mount; but he was troubled to see Jerry
used as a pack mule, and placed side brside with
John. What wus to becomn_pf Ruth ?
Several strange-looking conveyances Curtis had
seen, made in the followini , manner . : lodge-poles
were fastened at each side of a horse, with the
long ends trailing on the ground far behind the
animal. On these trailing poles a kind of wicker
basket was hastily woven, with curved sticks
over it, like the frame covered wagon. A blanket
thrown over the whole affair made a sheltered
place in which the Indians carried_ their light
valuables, their puppies, and their lAbies.
From such an odd vehicle Ruth put out her
head to nod encouragingly to Curtis as she passed,
and to say the motion of her carriage was by no
means agreeable. Anotah, who had been more
frightened than ill, was now quite strong. 'She
walked, at Ruth's side, Much ,amused to see the
littleluir face peeping now and then from among
the Indian. babies* =

ivaY:; and tk,:tp see their. trotting
along, with their baskets behind them, carrying
their puppies safely, mile after mile, just as Ruth
herself was riding.
For a week the Indians were travelling,
making halts by the way to refresh themselves, but
not fairly setting up their lodges until within
three days' journey of Fort Laramie,
Ruth, meanwhile, was treated;with the greatest
tenderness. Anotah considered the doctress as
her special care, and watched over her like
mother. •
Ruth had been striving to give the Indian girl
a knowledge of her own pure faith. What a
blessed privilege it was to Ruth to lead one of
these children of the wilderness to the foot of the
cross! She feared that she made but little pro:
gress in her efforts with Auotah, but she perse
vered. She might, be laying the foundation upon
which some other true Christian would build.
What a work there is for those who love their
Lord and Master among the red mend the West!
Christ knows each scattered band, each cluster of
lodges ! He loves every 'lndian; for them he
died, as well as for us: What are we doing, for
them Must their dark-eyed children grow up
to range the wilderness to steal and to slay?
Can we not Christianize our red brethren? Let
them lead a wandering life if they love it, but,
like Abraham, let them carry with them the know
ledge of the true God, wherever they pitch their
A NEW EEART.-WHAT IS IT?
Children often bear and sometimes speak about
a:" new heart." But do they quite understand
what the words mean?
A teacher once asked a little girl in her class
"Do you think you have a new heart ?"
"Yes, teacher, I hope so," the child replied.
"What makes you hope so?"
"Because I love the things which I used to
hate, and hate what I used to love."
That was a good answer. All of us "by na
ture" love sin. We would rather please ourselves
than please God. We do not wish to think about
him, nor to serve him. But when he gives a
child a new heart, that 'child begins to love what
is good and right—would rather please God than
please himself—tries to imitate 'the gentle and
holy Saviour—and wishes *to do God's will more
than anything else in the world. Dear children,
have you a new heart?
Then there will be a "new life." You know,
what we WISH to be we shall TRY to be. If a
child really has a new heart, he will be obedient,
gentle, truthful; he will love prayer, the - Sabbath,
the Bible--things that once he did not care about.
When he does wrong, he will be very sorry, and [
will pray and try that he may be kept from sin
ning again. If there is not this new life, it will
be of no use for any one to make belieye he has a
new heart. The conduct Will 'tell whether the
heart is right. 'But perhaps some of you are
thinking that there may be good conduct without
a change of heart. Perhaps there may, in part
and for a time.
Sometimes in the spring I see little children
go into the fields to gather flowers, and perhaps
they will pull out of the hedge a thorn-branch
without leaves, and stick on every thorn a daisy
or a buttercup, then come home to their parent's
with joy, crying out: 4 4 See, see, what a beautiful
bough of flowers we have brought you l" It is
very pretty for a while, but, the flowers do not be
long to. the,branch; ,they never ,grew_therej very
soon they will all be withered, and the bough will
be fit for nothing but to be,thrown away.
Those buttercups and daisies teach us a lesson.
about, good conduct which does not spring from a
sanctified heart. Such actions seem fair, but they
have no root. They were not done because right
and holy,-but perhaps from a desire of praise, or
a fear of punishment, or something of. that kind.
They may seem good, but there,is- no real good
ness in them, and. at last they will be found all
vain,' and useless, and dead!

THE.,ESCAPE OF THE ARABIA
Dr. Smith, of. Springfield, Mass., writes home
the following graphic account of the narrow escape
of the steamship Arabia from sudden and terrible
wreck on Fasnet Rock, Cape Clear, of which a
brief account has been given :
STEAMSHIP ARABIA, .11 A. m.,
Friday, Aug 3d,,1860.
In the midst of life we are in death: Just half
an hour ago, while standing on the bows, the ship.
running 14 knots an hour under Steam. and sails,
in a thick fog, I heard aloud shout "land ahead 1",
I turned towards the captain, or rather had my'
eye on him at that moment. Ilia face could not
have expressed more horrors if he had' seen hell's
gates opened. He sprung to the engine bell, at
the same time shouting "Hard a port• your - helm."
knounter order of " starboard" was given. The
captain leaped from his footing, shouting so'that
. his voice was heard above the escaping steam,
"Hard a port, in God's name.'
His order was obeyed. Then 'turning for Ward,
among ,a hubbub of voices, shouting "We are
lost," ".God have mercy on us," & e ., &c., I saw
the rocks not twenty feet from the ship's bows.
Qn their top was a light house. As we swung
around it seemed as;if we shoUld every moment
feel the shOek of 'striking. The huge swell of the
Atlantic was reverberating, and the Spray flying
all around us. The sails took 'aback, heeling us
over so' thlitthe deck stood up like the roof of a
hmise. Women were screaming, seamen running
to and'fro, and above all the captain and lieute
nants shouting so 'as 'to be heard-above the shrill
escaping- steam, "Hard a port, hard, hard !".=
"Brace around the foreyard 1" "Let fly the hal
yards and sheets fore and aft!" I stepped abaft
the foremast, to be out of the way of its fall and
waited for the shock. But
cc There's a sweet little cherub ehernb who sits up aloft
Anti looks after the life of poor Jack."
We apprbaehed, as all agr,ee, within ten feet of
the rock, and then began to recede. Jtist realize
that there was only ten feet between us and
eternity: It is the opinion of sea-faring men on
board that the ship, if she had struck, would have
sunk in five, minutes, for it is a sharp ledge of
rocks, six or seven miles from any shine, and deep
water all around. The boats could not have been
got ready, and if they could, they never could.
have lived in the heavy surf. No; if she had
gone ten feet farther, we should have been ahnost
instantly precipitated into a- raging sea, where,
six or seven miles from land, in a dense fog, few
of us, would , have escaped. We should have all
perished as miserably as did those in the lion-'
yarian. Three seconds more would have tolled
the death, knell, of most, if not all, of us, for we
were so enveloped in fog, and far from land, and
also no boat at the light-house, that if we had,
seized fragments of the wreck, they .wonld have
been torn from our grasp by the sea boiling as in
a cauldron over the sunken reefs, hours before
our fate could have been known.
I knew there was no time to run below for life
preservers,which are hung, up by each berth,
and so contented myself with just stringing up
my nerves for a buffet with the waves. For three
minutes, I can assure you, man showed what he is
when expecting the " King of Terrors." Two
or three ladies took it heroically, and seemed to
draw in strength from the scene around them.
It was a terrible trionaent for the. captain—Cwt.
STONE, of the royal navy—for as we swung around,
the sails taking aback and heeling us over, every
body expecting to feel the grinding crash beneath;
oni feet. I felt for him, fora his great rashness,
and gladly say , that - to his decision in our, lour of
need we owe our lives. • The rock is called Fes
net Rock, and upon it is the Cape Clear
light
house, .
A subscription is now, being taken up among
the, passengers for the seaman who first shouted
breakers ahead." I shall never forget to my
dying day' the face of the captain when lie heard
that wild shout. I have seen distress and pain
in all their forms but never a - face like that, so
full - of horror, perfect agony, and crushing respon
sibility. The cry ".breakers ahead," the: stop
ping of the .eugipes the escape - of the steam; and

It -sop/a at the v lmstant as if it was utterly lin
posside to stop the ship's way in time to save
us ; but God rules. He put forth His hand, and
the vessel, trembling as if with mortal fear„ yield
hd to'her powerful engines, receded from the rock,
and we were saved.

LETTER OF NEAT DOW
This, letter was addressed to the secretary of
the New York State Temperance Society just pre
vious to the late anniversary.
PORTLAND, Aug. 3, 1360.
Rev. Dr. Marsh :
" Dear Sir :—The- temperance men of New
York are to have a Convention at Saratoga on the
Bth inst. I wish I could be there to confer with
our friends of the Empire State upon the best
means to be adopted, to arouse once more the
attention of, the
,people to the importance—the
necessity- --ofmaking a movement here in pro
curing the suppression by law, of 'the traffic in
strong drink. All parties are agreed that the
liquor traffic is an unmitigated evil in every
community in which it is tolerated, and it.ought
to be placed by law in the list of prohibited occu
pations.
But many persons hesitate as to the policy of
demanding such a law now, lest public opinion
should not be prepared for its vigorous enforcement.
The notion prevails pretty extensively, that a long
course of preparation of the public mind should
be adopted before the legislature should be called
upon for a law to suppress drinking houses and
tippling shops.
In 'the' State of 'Maine, such a policy was not
pursued. We procured numerous petitions to the
legislature against the liquor traffic, and for
several years were unsuccessful in our applications;
but without fainting or flagging we persisted year
after year,. until, wearied by our importunities,
and influenced by our votes, the traffic in strong
drinks was placed under the ban of the law.
" The temperance men of Maine refused consent
to the system of license, because it was a great
wrong to give legal countenance and protection 'to
a traffic, the only tendency of which was and must
be to impoverish, degrade, and corrupt the peo
ple. We demanded that legal countenance to it
should be iithdrawn, and that pains and penalties
should be provided for all who shmild engage in
it. If such a trade were to be suffered let it not
be in accordance with law, but in spite 'of its pro
hibitions, as- other crimes are perpretrated in the
community. It was no satifactory answer to us
to say that liquor shops would nevertheless
continue. The reply was obvious and ready; so
do _robberies, burglaries, and murders continue,
but it is against law, and . not in accordance with
its provisions. And the existence of such crimes
is no reason why the legal prohibition of them'
should be withdrawn, and an attempt made to
regulate them by licensed permission to perpe
trate them under certain specified conditions and
circumstance.
"The object in Maine was accomplished only by
a steadyzefustil of thotemperancr men to vote for
any persons- for any office who were in favor of
license and opposed to prohibition. And I assure
our • friends in) New York that when they • are
sufficiently in earnest for the Maine Law to adopt
such a policY, and . ,to persist in it, their petitions
will' be respectfully received and promptly granted
by.the Legislature, and.not before.
" The temPerance men of the State of New
York are numerous enough to enforce attention
to their wishes in this regard, if they will adopt
the line of policy haie indicated, and persevere
in it.
Very.respeetfully yours,"
" NEAL Dow."
There are few people; so thoroughly . truthful as
not gently to put down s, pima or opiroon.on a fals
track,,•when, by, , doing{, they. man save themselves
or their friends.
HOW TO 8E EE INDHPENDESCE
To secure independence, the praCtice_ of simple
economy is- all that is - necessary. Economy re
quires neither superior courage nor eminent vir
tue; it is satisfied with ordinary energy, and the
capacity of average minds. ' Economy, at bottom,
is but the spirit of order applied in the adminis

regularity, prudence, and -he avoidance of waste.

The nearest appre ch that we can, - re
call to memory, to his rapid career of victory—by
Which the liberty of two States.has been assured, is
that of Simon Boli ar in Oolunibia, in 1819, when,
in the course of seventy-five days, that chief marched
a thousand miles thiough an enemy's country, won
three pitched battlhs, and emancipated a nation,
ground to theearth by Spanish tyranny. Bolivar
thus 'redeemed New eranada from slavery and united
into Venezuela whqh State he had previously libe
rated. '
In about the sara6 . time, Garibaldi has traversed
nearly the same dist . nee, in spite of many other ob
stacles than an ene y's army and navy, fought se
veral pitched battles, iberated Naples and Sicily, and
prepared them for a exation to one of the most en
lightened of Bun - Tea/1 kingdoms. The great Italian
liberator may therefire safely be compared with the
illustrious Colombian. His mere "proximity has , al
ready awakened thepeople of the Roman States, and
the-town of Pesaro hfis the honor of inaugurating the
liberating movement
Pesaro will long be rernembered as the birth-place
of that "Swan" whote music enchanted all Europe
forty years ago, and Who still leads a life of epicurean
ease at Parik One mould think that Rossini might
ransack the treasures of his rich invention for some
thing like a national air for his liberated country—
and thus supply the Want of which Garibaldi so feel
ingly complained th ' other day. "Every nation,"
said the Liberator, "has some song which at, once
rouses' the patriotic idor of its BOWL France has
the Marseillaise, England God Save the Queen, Ame
rica Hail Columbia but we, who if' we do not excel
in music excel in nothing, have not a single patriotic
strain." -
, i -
Strange it is , that tnation so overflowing with mu
sical genius as Ttalylbduld not have given birth to
anything more flatlet/al than " Viva Enrico, it nostro
re.' We have'ofter(!wondered wby Rossini; Verdi,
Paesiello, eirnartio,Picini, and their compeers, have
done nothing in the} patriotic line,— United States

ATER'S CATHARTIC' PILLS.
Are you sick, feeble, and complaboinSt Are you out of order—
With your system deranged, and your feelings micoinfortable These'
symptoms are often the prelude to serious illness. Some fit of sick..

the right remedy. Take Ayer's fille,and cleanse out the,disordered
humors—purify the blood, and let the fluidermirre on unobertructed
In health again. They stimulate the functions of the body Into vi—
gorous activity, purify the system from the obstructions which make
disease. A cold settles somewhere in .the body, and obstructs
its
natural functions. These, if not relieved, react upon themselves
and the surrounding organs, producing general aggravation, suffer•
log, and dismee. While In this condition oppressed by the
mngement, take Ayer's Pilley'and see hoW d irectly they restore the
natural action of the system, and with It the buoyant feeling of
health again. What Is true and so apparent In this trivial and
common complaint, is also true in many,of the deep-seated and dan
gerous distempers. The same purgative effect expels them. Caused
by similar obstructions and derangements of the natural functions
of the body, they arismplidly, and many of them surely, cured by
the same eans. None who know the:virtues of these NM, will
neglect to employ theme when suffering from the disorders they
cum.
