BLACK LAKE. 11 Oh, father 1 ” cried little Will Brown, sud denly, resting from his weary toil over the rough lava. “Do you soe those great white clouds rising from the ground? I do believe we are almost there.” “I think you are right,” rented -Vtofariior, “and in another half hour we sluUl stand by the famous Geysers.” Willy’s eyes sparkled. “I have thought about them so much,” said he, “ but I never dreamed when I was studying Iceland in my old geography, last winter, that I should be here so soon. How very kind you ore to take me.” “Oh, you know I couldn’t live without you. Will,” said Mr. Brown, looking down with sad tenderness upon the fuir-haired, motherless boy. “You’re a capital littlktravelling companion.” “Yes, I’ll say that for him,” exclaimed one of the guides, “I expected the children would be a great trouble, But I haven’t heard a whimper. He’s a bravo traveller, that’s a fact.” . Will looked up with a proud smile, and con tinued his conversation with his father. “But I wouldn’t live here for a kingdom, fa ther, though there are so many strange things to eee. It seems as if something terrible was always going on under the ground, and as if any time, oil Iceland might blow right up in the air like a great rocket. I’m sure last night I heard a very strange noise, and the ground shook as if some one had told it a terrible secret, and it was all in a tremble about it.” Mr/Brown smiled. “ Oil, I think Iceland is safe for to-day, Will. You know the people say it is the very ‘ best land the sun shines upon/ and don’t you think God is able to preserve it amidst every peril t”. “ Yes, father, I do believe God takes' bare of this country, for,” continued he, a look of awe marking his expressive face, “I read in my Bible this morning, ‘He toucheth the hills, and they smoke,’ and I could not help thinking that He: must have touched Iceland very often.” Before his father could reply, a strange, but in telligent-looking boy, three or four years older than Will, stoi - - - .. . The guides- spoke angrily to him, but the boy walked fearlessly up to Mr. Brown, the foremost of the party. “Mads Jagel,” said lie, pointing to himself, by way of introduction, and then, in very broken English, he offered his services in showing np the great steam-fountains. “Don't have any thing to do with him, sir,” said the guides, impatiently. “He’s a bad, ill tempered boy, and will make mischief if he joins usj” bnt Mads looked so imploringly, that Will began to plead in his favor with such good suc cess, that at last Mr. Brown said, “Well, let the lad go with ns. He certainly needs help, poor fellow, and I will gladly pay him whatever he earns.” With a grateful look at Mr. Brown, and an equally vivid glance of triumph at the discomfited guides, ragged little Mads journeyed on by the side of Willy. Before long, the whole party stood in wonder and awe before the mysterious Geysers, and as the ground shook and moaned, and suddenly sent forth a column of Bteam, more than a hundred feet high, Will, trembling, grasped his father’s hand, attd wondered if it was ahy thing like the strange pillar of cloud that used to go before the children of Israel. But Mads was particularly* lively, when they came to the fountain called Stroke, or the Churn. It was very quiet when they first arrived, and did not seem disposed to offer any salute. But Mads bustled about, with a very knowing look, gather ing quantities of moss and stones,, which ho threw into the tunnel. Immediately there was a load trembling, as if the old churn were In a great passion at the insalt, and soon a .grand column rose in the air, throwing out ail the rubbish iu high indignation. Will could not help clapping his hands with a shrill “hurrahl” although there was somethin® quite frightful in the demonstration, and Mads fairly rolled on the ground in ecstaeies of delight. The next morning as the travellers oontinued their journey, at Will’s earnest request Mads and his dog Sktfl accompanied them. The country was very desolate, with - here and there a tree ho larger than a lilac bush, but Mads and Will enlivened the way with a conversation helped ont by a variety of- expressive gestures. Mads was full of the wonders of Iceland, and he told Will many queer stories, not altogether true, how "under the terrible mountain of Hrcla, the evil spirits lived, and sometimes when they quarrelled, great streams of fire rushed from their mouths, and rolled over every thing, burning up houses and people, and sometimes drinking up a whole river," Will’s eyes grew large as he listened to these wonderful stories, but soon ho saw for himself something ; stranger than he had ever dreamed in his worst nightmares. They were just upon the edge of a aqd looking over, they saw at its base five os six great caldrons of some thick, blaefc fluid, boiling and steaming away with a ter rible noise: ,rir “What is it?” cried Will, clasping hi» ; father's hand, and turning quite pale. “It is boiling mud, sir/’ said one of the guides, “and if riny one falls in there, he will'never coirid out again.’’ Just then, Skai, who had been gambolling about Will’s feet; stepped upon a loose stone, which rolled, and bejfbre any one could help him, the poor dog had-turnbled over the precipice with a fearful howl of terror. Down, down he fell into one of the Horrihie pits,' antTaa Will bent over, he could just see the hot, black paste closing over his bushy tail. With'a cry of horror, he buried his face in his hands, but a sharp elutoh upou his arm, made him look up to sec Mads with two eyes bdrdtng.like fire, in the midst’ of,his white face. . • • - “Tou did it, ’’ gasped he, looking fiercely at Will.' “.You kill my Skal 1 ” “No,*indeed,” oried Will; “he put his foot on a stone—osg, and rolled over.” “ You kick him,” said Mads,slowly. “You wish I forget -~nevsr!" , With streaming eyes, and looks of the most profound syiiflnthy, poor Will explained the oo f'urrqqce again tpd again, but Mads still walked s sullen silence*..*>■ ■■ ~ Towards- night, however, Mads grew ; more cheer ful, anff - * the trdvellcri halted odrlief'tlilih usual, he proposed to Will that they should take a short walk as he had something very.cu rious to show him. Will felt some reluctance, but not liking to refuse Mat&, when ho was just re tttfnJug to good‘humor, he at length set out with jiini,, promising his father soon to return. f On they went over the desolate country, Mads eßtertaihlhg Will with wild old legends about the curious island, till before he was aware, he was all .alone with Mads in the wildest, strangest place-he ever saw'. _ "Where are we?” he asked in sudden alarm “ Let us go home,..Muds, I,don’t care to see.any thing euridiis'to-night/’ ■ ’ * “Almost there,” said Mads. “Hark, it calls you.” ■. ■’ ' - : “What?” asked Will, with a failing -heart, as he heard,a dull, steady roar. “Is it a bear?” .“Oh, no!” said Mads, with an unpleasant laugh. “ Here we are,” and dragging him for ward, he saw lying ten or fifteen feet beneath him, another of those terrible pits of uiud. He shrank back with a cry of terror, while Mads clutched his arm, and £ tagged him again to theedge. ge'e* Big pond, Black Lake, no bottom,” and Willy saw that ft was very large,.and boilitig fu 'riousfy, while in that centre rose a black cdltihin scvhral feet.iu height. . t'l don’t like Black,Lake at all, Mads.. Bo let’s go home/’ . - “ Yon never go home,” said Mads, with burn ing eyes. ’ ' . . “ What do you mean?” asked Will, faintly. . “I love Skal very much. You kill-him, li kill .yon,” responded. Mads, savagely. “Oh Lyon cannot aieao it! Ypu are in fun, dear, dear Mads. You know I didn’t kill poor Skal, Bis a joke, isn’t it, Mads?” , Slads gsiihiy-shook his. head,; , ‘ ) Poor Will looked over the dreary country, half visible/in-the twilight. Over all the barren rocks apd fiejds*of, lava, there was- no rlpitnan being rjD sight, and lie was alone on the brink of this hor rible lake with Mads' strong clutch on his arui 5 . It must bo,a dream. Why couldn't he wake? and he rubbed his eyes, and looked, around piteously, but alas! it was no dream, and Mads was still, watching him with those fiery eye.s^_~ — —— will buy you five,-si x, twelve dogs, beautiful dogs, w'lth long ears as’soft as silk/' “•There is no more Skal,” said Mads, briefly. - - Will-took-out -his little purse, and offered the contents. Mads threw it contemptuously into the bubbling lake* ; “Then I must surely die?” Mads nodded. “Ob, Mads, how can you be so wicked? You cannot, cannot mean it;” but Mads arose as if.to throw him in. An agonizing scream burst from Will’s lips, while Mads: laughed contemptuously. “Oh!‘-if I must die,” cried poor Will, “kill me with your knife, Mads, dear Mads, but do not throw mo into that horrible'hot mud.” “ , But Mads replied, “No; Skal die in mud, — you die, too.” “Wait a minute, then,” said little Will, the cold drops gathering 1 on, bis'forehead. “I must pray first.” ‘ : - ■ “ Black spirit won’t hear,” said Mads. “But God will.” “What God? asked Mads, quickly, “are you Christian ? ” ~7" ; ' ■ , Vis hope so,” said Will, humbly* “Pray, then,” 1 said Mads, more gently, for he had' heard something of religion from the many Iravellefs, “Christian’s God is great spirit.” Then little Will fell upon his knees; and began his simple flayer. . “Oh, God, I have been very wicked, but do try and forgive me, and, oh:>Gpdj” he sobbed, “ do try and save me, for I am so afraid of that dread ful mud, and lam such a boy.” ; .“Enough,” said Mads, shaking his shoulder, “One minute more, dear Mads.” “-One minute,” said Mads, walking away. “And, oh God, comfort ndy dearest father. JJott’t let him think I ran away. FotgiVe Mads, continued poor Will, a new hope springing up in his heart, “ Give it to him right away, if it’s pos sible—” A wild cry interrupted him, and looking up, he could see nothing of Mads. With shaking limbs, he hastened to the edge of the precipice, and there, —having made an uncertain step in the dim light—Mads had fallen a few feet, and find ing, it impossible to clamber up the smooth side, was hanging on desperately to a little twig. “You *are safe,” whispered a voice. “ Now let the wicked boy fall in the pit himself.” It was but a moment, and from Will’s generous heart arose the fervent prayer—“ Lead us nut into temptation.” Then, with eager hands, he un bound his long stout woollen tippet, and fastening one end to a tough little shrub, dropped the other over to Mads. Oh! joy! he could just reach it, and came clambering Up like a young squirrel. As his bead appeared above the top, poof Will fell fainting upon the ground, while the angels continued the prayer—“Bat deliver him from evil. 1 ’ Mads stole up to him with a wondering, reverential expression, and lifting him in his arms, carried him tenderly home. . Will was sick for many days, while Mads never, left his side. At last when he was again able to' 1 sp'eak, Mads said suddenly one day, with down-, cast eyes— f “ Why save Mads? Why not let Mads die?' Is it Christian?" j Will smiled and nodded. : “Tell me,” said Mads, vehemently, turning to hide his tears. “It is good. Ibe Christian too.” And Will, day after day, as he gl*ew better, told Mods the beautiful story of the cross, and taught him how to pray. Before Will left Iceland, poor Mads hoped that he, too, was a Christian, and he always carefully carried in his bosom, Will’s little Bible, which, i although he could not read a word of it, he re garded as his most precious treasure. s Will is now safe at home, but whenever, witß.lt, shudder, he thinks of Black JLake, he never for gets to give thanks that God—who is everywhere —walked even upon those desolate shores, and heard his broken prayers for life, and poor little Mads’ soul.

COEEECT THEIE MISTAKES, BBT DON’T lABGH AT THEM A teacher had visited an absent scholar in the neighborhood of Whalley’s court, and on her way had seen some dozens of children ptayin® in the streets. ‘ ° “Do you know any of these children? Could you briug one or two of them to school, Johnny?”' she asked of a frank, open-hearted lad; who was always the first to make 'acquaintance with any little stranger who might be brought to the school. “Yes, teacher; I know one that wants to eome to school with me, but—bat—” “But what?’’ asked his teacher, kindly. “ Why, ma’am, he ain’t called Timothy nor Samwell, and they only wants Timothys and Sam wells.” . A teacher who had been in the sehoo3 many years, and boasted of “ rot being given to change,” was in the habit of opening the school almost every Sabbath afternoon, and month after month he of fered the same prayer, one clause of which was that there might be many Timothys and Samuels in the school. . ...

THE DEADDRTJMMER BOY. The correspondent of the New York Gommer cial writes from the camp ;of jhe 19 th (N. Y.) Beguneut as follows : THE FIBST FUNEBATj. We had our firft tnilitafy 1 foneraT on Saturday afternoon. " r - 7 r The day before one of bur drummers, Joseph Winters, was drowned while bathing! He was..a pleasant, good boy, and his sudden a deep impression in the eneamntno B ‘- _ His body was brought up fro m_tb »-<*rgek and laid beneath a new receive it, under the trees _on*-«rtrj>6rth side of the parade ground. The men stood in silent rows in front of the tent till sun down, while a guard detailed for the purpose paced slowly back and forth. A letter was found in Joseph’s pocket from “ Cousin Lucie,” and as his comrades thought that he had no parents or bro thers or sisters living, his captain wrote to her. A little bare-footed fellow, about eight years old, stood on the land when Joseph’s body was re covered by the divers, and when the surgeon, promptly on the spot, was vainly endeavoring to start the water-clogged wheels of life, the little bare-footed fellow walked in silence up the hill side with the men who carried the body, following close behind; and there he stood before the tent curtains in serious stillness. At last he spoke, with respectful and clear, manly enunciation, to one of the field officers: “ Will you be so kind as to tell me, sir, whether he was a good boy ?” . “I believe he was, my little fellow, but I ’ did not know him very well.” “ Has he a father or mother, sir?” “ Why do you ask, my boy?” “Because, I hope that he did not have a mo ther, sir, or a father; they would feel so badly to? hear that life was drowned/’ The officer cleared - bis throat, and -the little fellow went on. “Audi ’if, sir, he has no mother or fatherland he was a good boy, then I am glad.” ; “ Why glad, my boy ? ’ “ Because, sir, I think it was ,the best time for him to be taken, away.” • “ Why the best time ?” 1 “Because, sir, 1 what the Lord does, is always, best.” The'funeral sermon was preached; un surpassed in truth, comprehension, simplicity and beauty, and if you eould have heard the utter ance of the 'boy] its puritv'-of'wording, l spoken ' in such gentle intonation,’and 1 with such unmarred accent, you would. have felt that Christ's model presented to his disciples, of a child brought to ministers to the present day. ’ At four o’clock, on Saturday afternoon, the Pennsylvania band, of twenty-four pieces, in front ,of the dead boy’s tent, gently sounded forth one ■ of the sad melodies which make military funerals peculiarly impressive; the company formed in marching order; the escort stood with muskets : reversed; the remaining part of tho regiment formed in.the centre of the parade ground in face to face columns, and the procession moved to the slow beat of the muffled drums. The boy was placed in a plain coffin, which was wrapped in the Stars and Stripes, and upon it was laid a large wreath of green leaves and wild flowers, and so we carried him to an old burying-ground not far distant, where the tombstones were;,all moss-covered and inclined, where the grass was tall and untrodden, and where the cone-sliaped cedars stood in irregular and friendly groups. When his body was lowered, the chaplain read. . selections from the Bible and offered prayer, the escort fired the military salute, the soldiers formed again in liiie, and we left the sleeper till the resurrection. jlisttllaiuausL HBSSIAN PICTUEE WOESHIP. No veneration of relics or images in the West can convey afiy; adequate notiou. of their vene ration for pictures. It is thei main support and stay of their religious faith arid Every where, in public and in private, the sacred picture is the consecrating element. In the corner of every room, at the corner of every street, oyer gateways, * in offic.es,' in steamers, in stationsjin taverns, is the picture hung, with the lamp burning before it. Iti domestic life it plays tho part of the family Bible, of the wedding-gift, of tho birth-day present, of the ancestral portrait. In the national life it is the watchword, the flag which has-supported the courage of generals, and roused the patriotism of troops. A taste, a passion for pictures, not as works of art; but*as ! eriiblems,as lessons, as instruc tions, is tlihs engendered and multiplied in com mon life, beyond all example elsewhere. Enter within a church, or at least any church such as those at Moseow,.w.hich best represent the national, feeling; there the veneratrou~has which gives an aspect to tho whole building, as unlike'any European church as the extreme types of European churches are from each other. . Prom top to bottom, from side to side, walls and roof, and screen and columns, are a mass of gilded pic tures: not one of any attistid value; not one put infer, sake of show or effect, but all cast in thei same ancientmould, or overcast with the same ve nerable hue; and each one, from the smallest %urein_tho smallest compartment, to. thc gigantic faces which look down with their large open eyes from the arched: vautts above performing 4ts own part, and bearing a relation to the whole.

It is quite pos sible that the governnent takes this view of the matter, for it has hitherto acted on a principle entirely different frou that General Fremont in augurates. But poll: Leal policy, in revolutionary or insurrectionary tiihes, has to give way to the stern realities of war.

The preiefifkphme of the {Doctrine.— The same as ever.

The 'following, copied from the correspondence of the Standard, an “ O- S.” paper of this city/ is an evidence of the feelings and.tendencies which are afc work in the minds of Presbyterians on the subject of a reunion of the two branches of the body. ■ Respecting the reunion of the two branches of the Presbyterian Church the writer of these, lines has to say, he had no hand, nor voice,,nor vote in sundering them. He was not at that time ec clesiastically born. But he sincerely hopes he may yet have something to do with their reunion. His earnest prayer is that they may yet “all be one”—rthat they may all be “ rooted and grounded in love ” —that they may all “strive together for the faith of the Gospel.” This poor sin-stricken world needs .the argument that would thus be fur nished for its conviction. It needs to feel the-power that would thus be exercised. But such re union will never take place until there is a will ingness on all sides to cease front crimination and recrimination. It will never take place, till they who control the public mind by press and pulpit shall “ forget the things that are behind, and reach ing forth unto those things that are before,” shall “ press toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Old School meii must not tell their brethren of the other side, you are all heretics and we will have nothing to do with you, for there are many of Christ’s redeemed ones there. And New School men must not tell those of the other side, you must get down on your knees and confess your terrible sins to us, for many there do not in their hearts feel- that-they have sinrie'd as; they arri accused. : No, this lash ing ancl cauterizing arid proving each other in the : -wrong from’yeairtp year does no goqd, It soothes DO aißTmviity i- i fit.TiL.lum nors not-Christ. Then why, dear brethren on both sides, why keep it up? Is it not a time when love should speak, and not anger? Suppose wrong was done, a quarter of a century ago, to you of the New School, or wrong was done to yon of the Old School, which is the. most conso nant with the spirit of the Saviour, to forgive, or to harbor a grudge? Suppose the New School did split and become weakened by the departure from them of beloved brethren at Cleveland, or suppose the. Old School did split and beeome weakened by the departure from them of brethren at Philadelphia, is it work worthy the ambassadors of Christ to exult over one another, or point to this division, or that, as the evident work of-Gcd on this brancli of the Church, or that, for sin com-* mitted.thirty years ago ? Verily, it does not seem so to all. And now if the writer might address a single word to his revered' fathers in the ministry ( he knows it ought to be most respectfully done—arid so it is,) he would beg them to remember that a vast multitude of those in both branches of the* Church have become’ disciples of Christ since the great battle of ’36 and ’37', arid.they neither know nor care, very mueh about the contests of those days. Many of them do desire* to be •nourished and built up in the precious faith; they desire to. be prepared for usefulness in the Church; but they, do not and eanDot sympathize. very much in the : quarrels of the last generation, and to them it ap pears somewhat'worse than useless for God’s peo ‘ pie to" be tying their own hands, arid hindering their own usefulness, and blocking up the road lo heaven through which they ought to be hastening last sinners ere they die, by, girding - themselves every year'anew for the conflict arid fighting again, tbe fierce battles of other days. They cannot feel 1 it is the work most needed-in these days of bitter - trial of faith. When war* thunders, and blood flows, and the shrieks Of their fathers and brothers, dying on, the, field that treason has deluged in gore, rend the air and rend all hearts —especially at a time when through the machinations of the devil the Gospel’s sound is in danger of being hushed, and hundreds of thousands are being hurried headlong into the jaws of death, they feel that it is no time for the ministers of Christ to be. warring among themselves and bitterly accusing each other of having foul wrong JUiCI bJ; c.g»inr>t Iniifj their brethren,” a quarter of a century ago. Meek and humble Christians on both sides are' sayings “ These things do not interest nor profit us. Have they not long enough been battled about? We. think it would be better far if ministers and elders would ‘follow after the things .which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify ano ther.’” And are they not right about it? Is it best to do “ anything whereby our brethren stum ble, or are offended, or made weak?” If so, then this everlasting, din about Old School and New SchooLonght to be kept up. If not, so, then let us all, in the Saviour’s name, seek in every way possible to harmonize the children of God, that they may stand forth a solid phalanx of Christian soldiers, forever ready to battle the world, the flesh, and the devil, but.never again to fight each other. . So sure as the spirit of Christ ever character izes all his professed disciples, so sure will the Old School and New School branches of the Church become substantially one. Then “Ephraim shall notenvy Judah, and Judah slihll not vex Ephraim." Then shall “each esteem other bettor than them selves.” Then'shall they of all parties “in ho nor prefer one another.” That day is certainly, coming. Tens of. thousands : of Christ’s hidden ones are devoutly praying for it, whatever they may be doing who hold the sword, of handle the pen, or address the crowd ; and “Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of Hosts is his name; Tie shall ’thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give-rest to the land." ‘ FOREIGN ITEMS. In connexion with book-writing, there is a story worth repeating, as having been long current in the House of Lords, that Lord Chancellor Brougham had said he would never die, for fear that Lord; Camp bell, author of the Lives of the Chancellors of Eng land, would write his life. When this was reported to Lord Campbell, it is said he replied in jest that.he would write Lord Brougham’s life, whether he died or not. • And now, since Lord Campbell’s death, a few months sineet 1 it is said to be found that each.of these Lords had in his desk a manuscript life of the Otheri : Some feeling has .been excited lately by the course of-ths'Erinee oLWales in his recent visits to TrefaiwU. He was on very friendly'terms pith Archbishop Cul len, the .wily head and promoter,of; Romish interests in Ireland, and on the Sabbath (!) he visited May nooth College, the-hot-bed. and nursery of the-sbper stitions and the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church in Britain. While he did this, lie did not, jt is said, favor any other public institution with aviSlt. - • The Prf.ss, rii-.iy work as great a Revolution ih; Franee.as the sword. Another pamphlet has just been given to thepublic, and is being largely read, in which the author most conclusively shows that Peter, the Apostle, h%s 'never Bishop Of Rome: , that the first Popes, regarded as profane the title of Universal Pa triarch, and that the expressions; “Apostolic See,” and “ Holy ; See,” were applied, not only to Rome, but also to all clirirehes founded by the Apostles. Of this pamphlet,, the Steele says: “ The Ultrnmon tanes will refute with difficulty the close and con vincing argument of the learned theologian.” .All is not, entirely, reformatory in the administra tion of the new Sultan in Turkey. In Constanti nople,lie has forbidden three or four newspapers from publishing telegraphic despatches. In Damas cus the Turkish Government has insisted upon ex pending the usual immense amount of money in sus tmning.the annual Hadji, or Pilgrimage ..to 'Mecca:. For supplying food for the pilgrims, salaries for the officials, and other necessities, the-Government has usually paid at least fifteen .thousand purses, (about XGO.OOO, or $300,000.) But-, this year, Fuad Pasba set himself to reduce these expenses, and made ar rangements to have only about four thousand pounds required.
