INSCRIBED TO MRS. A. M. M **** BY CORDELIA
I'll pray for thee when morning breaks
Upon the silent earth,
And nature, fresh with beauty, wakes
And fills the heart with mirth.
I'll pray for thee at noontide hour,
And ask my GOD to bless,
To pour on thee his Spirit's power,
And fill with holiness.
1.11 pray for thee when elowly.doWn„
The bright sun sinks to rest,
Giving each cloud a golden crown
In beauty riohly.dreet.
I'll pray for thee *hen from on high
The starry gems•of night
Come forth and fill the azure sky
With beauty and with light.
.
11l pray for, thee—and may my prayer
Be heard in heaven above;
Cast thou on Jesus all thy care,
He'll keep thee in his love.

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.

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.

they fancied that they discovered throUgh'melting

shut the door, and left the dog without, who by
various canine movements of scratching ' and

by his desertion and complaining, she thrust her

and cried in a clear, earnest tone, "lug 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

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

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

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

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 ,

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

DISEASES OF TEE
THOUGH THE remote or primary causes of SKIN
DISEASE. may be various as IMPURITY OF, THE.
BLOOM LIIAER: COMPLAINT, SCROFULA, fke.,
yet the immediate cause is always the same, and that
an obstruction in the pores pf the akin, by which the
perspiration, in itteMuniage from the'body, isittrested and
confined in and under the skin, causing an •ibtolerable
itching, or an eruption of ,Pimples, Pustules; Ringworm,
Tatter, Salt Rheum, &c., to. For all' these affections,
JAY NE'S ALTERATIVE
hasbeen found an invaluable remedy, as it removes both
the primary as well as the immediate causes—purifying
the Blood, curing the Liver Complaint, and effectually
eradicating Serofulafrom the system, while, at the same
time, it frees the poreh If their obstructieg matters, and
heals the diseased surface.
