THE LITTLE CHINESE BOY WHO WOULD NOT WORSHIP IDOLS. In a, Chinese city containing nearly twice Be many people as Philadelphia contains, there lives a certain little boy, about five years old. Now this little boy does not differ much from the very many other little boys of his own age in this city, ex cept in one quite - important and striking particu lar, - Be refuses to worship idols. Perhaps some of the little boys and g irls who love Jesus in America would like to hear" more about him. Well, I will try to repeal some of the statements made about him by one of his uncles in a Union prayer meeting of the native converts of that city, held on the afternoon of Monday, Nov. 19, 1860. This little boy went to visit his maternal uncles living in the suburbs of the city, who are Chris tians. This was not many months previous to the meeting. He observed them while asking a bless ing at the table. He was present at their family prayers. Ho sometimes attended the church, which was very near where his uncles lived, and heard - the missionaries and the native exhorters preach about the doctrines of Jesus and the folly and the sin of worshipping idols. His uncles, too, told him a great deal about Jesus, and explained to him why they did not worship idols like the Chinese generally. After a few days the lad went back to his home in the city. It was soon observed that he treated the idols worshipped in his father's family very differently from the way he had been accustomed to treat them. He used to treat them very respectfully and very reverently. But now he went about sometimes calling them "wood," or "mud," and sayin g that they were " devils," or "evil spirits." H e had been taught by his pa ternal grandfather, who was very fond of him, to kneel down before them and worship the'm in the usual Chinese way. But now he could not be persuaded to do any such thing. His grandfather was very much displeased at this sudden change in the sentiments and behaviour of his favorite little grandson. Perhaps you don't know that the Chinese at Fuhohau very ciften worship large images, eight or ten feet high, made very much the shape of a man, except that their beads are like the head of an ox or a horse. Sometimes they are made only a few inches or a few feet high, if used in private &nil % lies, according to the wish of those who hire men to make them. One day the grandfather of this little boy heard him talking to these images. Pointing to the one which had an ox's head, he would say—" You are a calf!" and then, pointing to the one which had a horse's head, he would say—" You are a colt!" The. old than was made very angry by this conduct and these words of his little min s d_ma. He seized 4 rcr- urci - fivnif M O persuade him to kneel down before these images and to knock his bead on the ground while in that position, after the manner of the Chinese in token of having sinned against them,—then to beg their pardon for his irreverent language. But the boy refused to do it. He replied to his grandfather's entreaties and threatenings, that these idols were "mud," or "wood," or "devils." The old man, who, it is said, before this had never whipped the lad, tried to make bim beg tardon of the "colt" and the "calf" by whippinkvery severely— but in vain; the little boy would not consent to worship what he was sure was nothing but wood, or mud, and represented nothing bettor than evil spirits. Tho mother of this little boy has since become a member of one of the native churches in that great heathen city. One day his grandfather, in quired of the lad what course he himself was going to take, and he very boldly and bravely answered that he was going to follow his mother and wor ship Jesus, and not worship idols as be had been accustomed to do. The result is, that hisgrand father will not now let him visit his Christian un cles and aunts, lest he should really become a Christian. Such is the story about the little Chinese boy, whom his grandfather whipped because he would not worship idols. What an honest and brave' lad! May he become a sincere and consistent Christian long before he becomes a manl LOVE IMPARTS. LIFE In a portion of France where the climate is very salubrious, and the country very prosperous, beautiful, and fertile, some persons truly animated with the spirit of Jesus Christ founded, many years ago, an admirable establishment. lam very sure, my children, that your hearts will be moved when you know to how many sufferers and to what various kinds of invalids it offers an asylum. There are poor blind girls, incurables, and even idiots who are admitted there, to- be kindly taken care of, in etructed, and healed, if they can be; at any rate, they all undergo such a change for the better, such improvement during their stay at that house, that one must see it with his own eyes to comprehend it fully. The house bears the well-deserved name of Bethesda. "I know why," interrupted Alfred. • "And why, then?" asked Rosa. "How! Have you not read in the Gospel that there was at Jerusalem a pool called Bethesda, and that an angel came there to trouble the water, and that those who went down after him were cured of all their diseases? Don't you know that there was a poor man• sick of the palsy, who for thirty-eight years had waited for somebody to throw him into the water at , the right moment, but the others always got there before him, so that he never could be cured? But one day Je sus went by that pool; be saw the paralytic, who was lying on the ground, and be only had to bay one word, and the poor man was made whole." "It is a beautiful story," said Rosa, "I should like to read it.' "Weil, you must look for it in the fifth chap ter of St. John, at the beginning. It is not hard to sod." "Now," said Madam Reynold, "that you know the signification. of this word Bethesda, I will go on with my story. I was telling you that among the poor children which Christian charity gathers io that establishment, there is a large proportion of idiots. You may never have seen such unfor tunate creatures. Nothing is more sad, more painful, than the sight of these specimens of humanity, whose hideous deformity IEI redeemed by no ray of intelligence. They mostly have an enormous head, so heavy, indeed, that their neck cannot support its weight, and it rocks from right to left, and then falls down again on their breast like a huge mass, quite inert and lifeless." "Their coarse features can express nothing but anger, envy, and all the baser passions of the hu man soul. A laugh, at once stupid and Wicked, half opens their thiok lips. They have habits of disgusting uncleanliness. In many eases the have been left from the moment of their birth tiirthat when they entered the establiehnient. I can't bear to fix your attention upon such painful de tails. I should like to spare you the' knowledge of them; but are not.children to become acquaint ed with a little of all the sufferings, and miseries of our poor _human family? Besides, in order that you mayweli understand my story, you must know what an idiot is." " I saw one, one day,"said. Rosa. "She was go ing down street, and some bad boys were running after her, calling her bad names, and pelting• her with mud. From time to tine she turned round, looking at them, her fists clenched, and with an air of rage. I never shall forget it." " You see, then," continued Madam Reynold, "to what these poor creatures are exposed when they are left a prey to the insults of coward and heartless children, who only see in them objects of fun and disgust. But at Bethesda they have no such sad experience as that. They are loved, they are pitied; they are respected for the soul, which is none the less immortal because it inha bits so coarse and deformed an envelope. By dint of gentleness and a mild treatment, people succeed in replacing their instincts by feeling and. affec tion, to make them understand what duty is, and to create in their hearts a true piety, which shows itself in all their actions. Nothing is more touch ing than their gratitude to the persons who take care of them. They never become good-lo4)king, the poor things, though good food, habits of clean liness, and gentle expressions exert upon their appearance a very happy influence; but they are more than beautiful in the eyes of those who per ceive in them the triumph of charity. I must not forget that it is of one of them that I wish to speak to you. "Not very long ago a peor young girl wart brought to this establishment, who looked as if she had been treated in a worse manner than any of the other pupils. Neter had more deformity and more heavy atupidity'defied every effort to re vive in a human creature the spark of the intel lect and of the soul. She was a mass of flesh,' and nothing more, save that, from time to time, a coarse covetousness agitated her features, and invested them with an expression from which the spectators would turn away their eyes in utter disgust. There was in that look enough to, wear out the most persevering love, and destroy allhope; Yet love did not become weary; though hope en tirely forsook the parties. They all resigned them selves to see poor Betsy remain in that interme-. diary state between an inanimate thing and an animal. It was now many a long month since she bad become an inmate of the house, surround ed with precisely the same care as the others, be. fore any change had been perceived in her deplo rable state. "One day the door of Bethesda was opened to a poor being still more miserable than any of those we have just mentioned. It was a young girl, not an idiot only, but blind, deaf, and dumb. She really had nothing in common with a human crea ture but her misshapen form. Betsy found herself iu her way. At the sight of so deep a misery, to which her own was comparatively a blessing, her countenance, generally so indifferent and - so inert, beamed with a new radiance. One might have believed that a soul was just born within her. It was, indeed, a new birth, for she loved then fur the very first time, and love is the life of our heart. She followed the new-comer, and the first words she was heard to speak were to ask permission to nurse her. And it was with the intelligence of a regular sick-nurse, and with the unwearied devo tion of a Sister of Charity, that she fulfilled that task during long months; and when, at last, the child died without having either seen or heard her, the idiot of former days sang hymns by, her bed. Since that time she has become wonderfully developed, and one of the most useful members of the whole establishment; a great encouragement to those who labor in this work, so repulsive in its difficulties, but so admirable in its results. And now, you see, my children, that the love which was shown to that poor girl had deposited in her heart a germ of life; but to develop, it; and make it bear fruit, she bad first to learn how to love." "I like this story far better than my fairy tales," said Rosa, " because it is a true story, and alts rwrtartrarn t I - deed, quite as interesting as . tq see the beast trans form itself into u beautiful Imbibe, or an old, hump backed woman change into a'young princess daz zling with beauty. It is not only in the fantastical world of fairies and genii that marvellous things happen. The world we inhabit is full of them ; and, if we knew how to look around us, we should always find enough to busy our imagination with, and to excite our admiring faculties." THE ADOPTED BIRDS. BY REF. JOHN TODD, D. D !I Switch, switch," went the scythes, as the men, early in the morning, were mowing the tall grass. Round the field they Went,not minding the grass. hoppers that leaped in terror,. or the meadow-mice that scampered in the thickest grass. By-and : by the owner of the field came to them, when one of themen pointed to a little stick ivhich he had stuck in the ground, and said with a laugh, "'Vire cut all before us." "No harm, I hope." “Nothing of consequence. But see!” The gentletnan went to the stick, and therefound a poor meadow-lark, with her head cut off by the scythe! She was on her nest. keeping her little young birds warm, and thus the scythe took herlife. Faith. ful mother! The gentleman took up the nest, containing four very small featherless birds. What to do with them he knew not. So he carried them home, and on his way recollected that near his house was a faithful old robin, which had made her nest in the cherry tree, and also that she had just be gun to set. On reaching the tree, there the robin was, to be sure, and he well knew that she must have her own way. So he watched her. In a few hours she flew off to get her food. The moment she was out of sight, the gentleman climbed , up end took out the four little blue robin eggs and put the four little larks in their place. Again he took his place to watch I Ina short time Mrs. Robin came flying back to her nest. She went straight to it, and was just go ing to bop into it, when, she looked in. She raised her wings and stood in utter amazement. A few moments ago she had left eggs, and how they were birds! She stood and looked, turning ber head one way and then the other, and seeming to scan them very closely. After her amazement had gone past, she flew off, and in a few moments came back with the male robin. Then they both poised themselves, one on each side of the nest, and looked in, most earnestly, with raised wings. Sure enough it was even so! They were birds and not eggs! Then they begun to chatter, as if talking the mat ter over, and explaning the state of things. How they looked, and peered in, and talked! After a while they flew off in great haste. The gentleman feared it - was now all over with the little orphans. But no! In a very few minutes they both returned, each bringing a worm, with which they began to feed them! They had adopted them, and from that hour they took care of them and raised them. Does God take care of birds? Yes. And he has promised to take care of his people and their little orphan children, as birds take care of their young. Sunday School Thnea. .TIIVE3IILITLES.

Moved by his desertion and complaining, she thrust her small face through the bars of her nursery window, and cried in a clear, earnest tone, "lug e bell, doggie! In e bell !" A father came home from his business at early evening, and took his little girl upon his knee. After a few dove-like caresses, she crept to his bosoth, and fell asleep. He carries her himself to her cham ber, and said, "Nellie would not like to go to bed and not say her prayers." Half opening her large blue eyes, she dreamily articulated: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord,"— then adding 7 in a sweet murmur, "He knows the rest," she sank on her pillow,. in His watchful care who "giveth his beloved sleep." "Father, I think you told a lie in the pulpit, this morning,," said the little son of a clergyman. "Why, what do you mean?" "Sir, you said, one more word, and. I have . done: Than you went on, and said a great many more words. The people expected you'd leave off, 'cause you pro mised them. But you didn't, and kept on preach ing a long while after the time was up." —My five-years-old boy sometimes says queer things.

AFRICAN CIVILIZATION. Public attention is becoming more and more awakened respecting Africa, its geography and people, and especially its resources and capabili ties. Just how this has bee brought about it might be difficult to declare positively, thOugh the fact itself is obvious, and its causes not wholly hidden. Different subjects seem to, have their turns, "in the course of : human events," and af ter long waiting the turn of Africa's notoriety seems to have come. No other subject is more rife in literature, whether in the form of 'stately volumes, or grave reviews, or ephenieral newipa per disquisitions; and scarcely any other opens a wider or more fruitful field for scientific discuk sions or popular narratives; and above all these are the incentives it offers to the commercial spi rit of the age, to which it promises certain and large gains. The last fei years have greatly increased the sum of our knowledge of that great portion of the world. For three hundred years before it had lain directly in the way of, European commerce, compelling it to make a long detour in: order to approach the opulent kingdoms of the East r while African commerce has been almost exclusively the execrated slave-trade. That trade, instead of increasing the: civilization of the country and de veloping its resources, has retarded both, by pro motin,,,c. savage wars among various tribes, and, also by destroying the industrial occupations of the people. The prevailing notion that that teen try was made up of uninhabitable utarshes and deserts; for a long time repelled even curiosity from the 'interior; and at the present time our: maps in common use only indicate a few places along the coast, with a sprinkling of lakes, moun tains, and rivers in the interior, where no such things exist, and all the rest is disposed-.of=by a sweeping designation of "unexplored deserts." But this is to continue no longer. The interior of Africa is not now an unknown land; modern travellers have annexed* to the known'world. A succession of travellers, chiefly British,,begin ning with Mungo Park and ending with Dr. Barth—if indeed the work may be said to be ended—has brought to the readinv , public: a, full and even circumstantial account oethe great Val ley of the Niger, and the basin of the Lake Tsad, a tropical region, occupied by a, numerous semi civilized race of Mohatninedan-negroida, scarcely second in, either extent or fertility to the Valley of the Mississippi; ,a region where rice and cotton pradif t epo pr•itt porfeetioo then• • • o ose great sap es 'matte! oy tne le mend. Southern and Eastern Africa, beyond'the colony of the Cape, has retnahied.kill quite recent ly more completely shut up than any other part. But by the efforts and labors of Dr. Livingstone and others the, charm that bound that whole re gion has been broken, and' the darkness that en veloped it rolled away. Livingstone, Krapf, and Burton have each made large and valuable addi tions to our stock of African Geography, Ethno logy, and Climatology, and demonstrated the ; vast capabilities of the countries they visited for sus taining great and wealthy nations, and for main taining remunerative commerce with Europeans. Instead of a land of barren deserts, it is now de monstrated that Africa is second to no other por tion of the world in the breadth of its productive area; and though cut midway by the equator, yet, by reason of the elevation of the interior it has a climate not unlike that of large portions of the temperate zones. Such a country, lying so near to Europe, and, on the very iratikof the commerce of the world, having been biliught into notice, cannot now fail to attract to itself the enterprise and efforts needful for-the development of its re sources. The two great objeets of interent, commercial and philanthropic, cotton and slavery, are impli cated in this subject. It is tiseertained by actual examination that the foreign slave-trade, as car ried on from the coast of Africa, extends inte'the very heart of the continent, so that tribes farthest removed from all intercourse with white men are actually engaged as thefactors of the slave-traders, and the curse of that trade is felt in its terrible ness in the otherwise' quiet ` and comparatively happy towns of the far interior. That that trade is the greatest obstacle in the way of the civiliza tion of Africa is conceded by all; While on the other hand •it seems exceedingly difficult, if not indeed impossible to, suppress It in . Africa While the external demand continues. African savages will continue to sell their fellow-men ao long' as European and Ainerican traders are",at hand to buy them, and probably these Will continue their nefarious traffic so long as it will pay. if, how ever, by any means the articles now chiefly pro duced by slave labor could be prodeded • more. cheaply by free, and especially Could that bedded in , Africa, so enhancing, the value of labor there, the slave-trade would cease at once and entirety: his often said that if ever Africa shill be redeemed it must be by the labors of her own children. This. has usually been employed as an argument in favor of cOlOnization from ibis country, but we are in clined to euiphasize, that saying, looking chiefly to home-born sons of Africa as the providential agents of her redemption. The form of, civiliza tion gained by the desdendants of African's iu this country is not altogether favorable to that work. It is too effeminate, and especially too little self reliant,,tO meet , and overComo the opposition with which it'must contend. The culture needed in Africa should be indigenous„ arid afi such jt would differ in Many important particulars from the ex otic one which has been planted on. the Liberian coast, which, there is cause to believe, is scarcely less an exotic now than it was'a quarter of a cen tury ago. There is alteady a tolerably well' advanee'd ci vilization in all the valley of the I4i g er, and an indestry already in existence and only needing the stimulus of foreign trade largely to increase. its productions. This is also pre-eminently the land of rice, notton,,aud the sugar-Cane; while theUa tiyes now 'know eoreething of the value of ,Euro peen and Ainerican fabrics, a steady supply of which on hand would stimulate production almost indefinitely. The tranaportation of cotton from the banks of the Niger to Liverpool need not ' cost more than its transportation from the Mississippi or Torebigbee, while the cost of its production in the former place would be : Incalculably less. . Among the results of oni`southern rebellion will be a decided and thorough effort to gad out other sources of a supply of cotton; and when one con eiders the facts of the case, the surprise is that the thing has not, been done before. A tithe . of the outlay. which 'Great Britain has Made in .India or China if directed to that purpose, wouldOvo 7 , tioniic tie - whole commercial agip'eit of the of* ton question, and incidentalb , ettinguish African slavery. A sum no larger than' that expended by our General Government and, some of our cities as the price of a barren treaty wit h ofjapan, would open np a trade of greet pecuniary value in Africa, which would at thel same time prove the precur sor of a social and moral revolution in' that coun try of inestimable Worth. Our missionary Move ments in Africa have also been feeble and compa ratively unproductlite„beco.use they have lacked boldness and proper'aggressiveness of action.:: Let one-half the sum npW expended to little purpose in Liberia be usetijir the -interior, where white men can live and labor . and fruits will not be. wanting.
