Chained .down by weakness to her bed, Her tender frame by suffering wrung, “A bitter lot is thine,” I said, “A heavy cross for one so young.” But 01 far otherwise I mused When once I saw, with glad surprise, How this meek lamb, so sorely-braised, ' To the Good Shepherd raised her eyes. I-low patient on his breast she lay, And kiss’d the hand of chast’ning love, And bless’d the dark and rugged way That led her to his fold above I Sweet child 1 so greatly tried and blest, Thou soon wilt lay thy burden clown; The rougher road, the happier rest; The heavier cross, the brighter crown. For days of darkness, yet to thee Shall everlasting light be given: And the first face that thou shalt see Will be thy Saviour's face in heaven. Thy fetter’d tongue, here mute so long, Shall burst its bonds in sudden praise: Its first glad words will be the song Which round the throne the ransom’d raise. From sufferings freed, and free from sin, And in unclouded light to shine— If faith can such a triumph win. Sweet child, a blessed lot is thine 1 LITTLE JULIA. The following memorial of Julia Bueath, of Oroomiah, Persia, who died at the age of five years, is by her mother. We transfer it to our columns from a publication with the above title of the American Tract Society, *2B Cornhill, Boston. Three children gladdened our Persian home. A dark shadow had rested on-my way from early childhood, when I was written motherless. The light of my home had nearly scattered it, when Death came, one wintry day, and placed his cold hand on our little Edward. The wind blew chill and bleak when we laid him down in the little cemetery on the hill. The smiles of his baby sister, Lillie, cheered and comforted us; but she soon heard her brother’s call, and began to pine. When spring came, we brought her to Mount Seir, where the missionaries resort for health, amid the severe heats of summer. She would be carried out to take the air, and return, her arms full of flowery treasures. But the roses came not to her cheeks, and while the fields were yet gay, we laid her down by the side of her brother, and wrote both their names on one stone. The following winter, 1856, little Julia came. She was warmly welcomed to the desolate home of which she was to he a guid ing star. She grew up to win, not only her parents’ love, but also that of others. She was a gentle, affectionate child, with a plea sant smile and winning ways. Her mother’s feelings with regard to her infancy were thus expressed: “ And I must love my little flower, Though like the others frail; I’ll hide it in my choicest bower, From every passing gale. “ 0 Father, spare the precious flower Which thou to me hast given; Long may it blossom in my bower, Then bloom anew in heaven.” From a very early age, she loved to learn and recite verses of the Bible, and hymns. She would repeat the first verse of “ Star of Peace,” when no one out of the family could understand her. Her first Bible verse was, “ God is love.” As she grew in intelligence, this fondness increased, and it became evi dent that she loved the truths they contained. She was constantly, when I could listen, say ing over to ine the verses she had learned. “ Now, mamma, I will say my verses. First, Jesus.” Then she would commence, “Jesus, gentle Shepherd, hear me,” and go on until I was wearied. Her favorite hymn was, “I want to be an angel.” “ I do want to be an angel,” she said, once. In repeating the hymn, she stopped to inquire what “ I know I’m weak and sinful ” meant. I told her, and she went on, changing her tone to en treaty, when she came to the line, “ Dear Sa viour, when I languish;” and afteward, in reciting the hymn, she would stop at the line, “ linow I’m weak and sinful,” and ex plain it to her little sister Mary, then add so sweetly,— “But Jesus will forgive, For many little children Have gone to heaven to live,” Once she said to me, “ Mamma, ‘ I want tube like Jesus,’ —when may.that he my verse?” She soon learned it, and was very fond of repeating it. To try her sincerity in wishing to he “like Jesus/’ once, when in a passion she buried her face in the carpet, I said slowly,— “ I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek.” I was surprised and gratified to see her look | up with a smile. i Julia was conscientious. Our cook men tioned that while her sister would take any thing to eat he offered her, Julia would re fuse, saying, “ Mamma is not willing.” I know that to have been the case at a very early ago. ' She was ont with one of the men who was gathering strawberries in ottr little bed. He offered her some, and told me after ward how much he was amused by her at tempts to say in Syriac, " Mamma is not ' willing.” 1 She had a love for order and neatness very 1 unusual in a child. Her nurse would amuse 1 herself by turning over the corner of a mat 1 at the door, to see Julia come creeping up ! to put it down straight, which she invariably did as soon as she observed it. Nothing 1 would please her better than a box in which , she might put her playthings together, and 1 the little drawer in which she afterward ar- ' ranged them was never allowed to he out .of ; order. After her hair had been dressed, she would feel to see if it was perfectly smooth, and would, be annoyed if her apron did not fit well. We felt, and often spoke of it, that it would he hard for Julia to pass through life, as she was so easily annoyed,' and of so nervous a temperament, Julia had a nice sense of propriety. She could not be induced to talk in Syriac with any of the members of the mission. “ I don’t wish to talk that language,” she would say, though she used it as readily as the other children in talking with the natives. Before 1 she could talk plainly, she called herself 1 “Lula,” and we all used that term in spesk ing to or of her. But when she became able to say “ Julia,” she wa'S quite displeased s t being called by her baby name, and once, when three years old, reproved her play mate, saying, “No, Josie; the Lord made me Julia.” She often talked of dying. Death had no terrors for her, though she shrank, as chil dren usually do, from the sight of a corpse. She could not understand-how the spirit was in heaven, while the body remained on earth. Whatever I might say to her, she still thought that the body was first' put in the ground, and then carried to heaven. The thought of being borne to heaven by angels was a very pleasant one to her, and she gave it as one reason why she loved God, that he sent angels to take the children to heaven. She fre quently asked, “Mamma, do you think I shall die before we go to America? “ I don’t know,” I said. “ Don’t you: wish to go to America ?” “ No, the way is so long.” Ileaveh seemed to her much nearer than America, as it really was. She once asked, “ Mamma, who do you think will die first, you or I?” “ I don’t know; whom would you like to die first?” “ I think I, for then I’ll see the twelve Brothers;” referring to the story of Joseph, which Mrs. Thompson had told her. On her last birthday, as she looked at the presents she had received, she said, “ When I die, these will all be lost.” She thought a moment, and then added, “ When I die 111 give them to Ellie,” meaning Ellie Coan, a little companion of about the same age, who ■was at the time in robust health, but died a few weeks after with typhus fever. So 'Short and violent was the progress of her disease, that she passed away with the bloom still on her cheeks; and it might be said of her, the flower “is cut down,” instead of, “itfadeth.” “ God is love," was Julia’s first Bible verse. She explained it by saying, “ I love God, and he loves me.” “ Why do you love God?” “ Because he gives usso many good things, and sends the angels to take us to heaven.” “And why do you love Jesus?” “Because he takes the little children in his arms.” How often the name of Jesus was on her lips! I think it was indeed dearer to her than any other name. She asked me once, “ Mamma, did you see Jesus when he was on the earth?” At another time, “ Mamma, do you think I will know Jesus ” At another “ When Ellie is in Jesus’ arms, and looks up in his face, perhaps she thinks it’s her mamma.” I asked her once, “Julia, would not you like to be Jesus’ lamb ” She looked surprised at my asking the question, and replied, with delight, “I am Jesus’ lamb now.” She asked me once or twice, “Mam ma, when will you teach me, ‘ Saviour, like a shepherd lead us’ ?” She had heard it sung in Sabbath schools. I had no book containing the hymn, and satisfied myself by thinking carelessly that I should meet with it some time. A little after, we, in com pany with the other members of the mission, received the present of a Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book. I. found the hymn, but it was too late; she learned no more hymns. Her last Bible lesson was the Lord’s prayer, and she loved to repeat it at her bed-time with her other little prayer. The coming of new missionaries was looked forward to with delight in our mission, by old and young. To see new American faces, was a great event to the children, and it was very pleasant to hear their remarks. They seemed to have much of Christ’s feeling for little children, and soon gained their love. Julia was happy. She found new friends to tell her Bible stories and hymns, and talk to her about Jesus. Many little things were done to make the children happy. Written notes of invitation were directed to them on occasion of Mrs. Thompson’s birthday. They were the first the children had seen, or even heard of, and they prized them highly. It was decided that there must he a Christmas festival. A cedar was brought from the mountains of Tergawer, and was made a ve hicle for the interchange of little gifts, but was mostly indebted for its richness to the industry and ingenuity of the new comers. It blossomed in gay ribbons. Sugar plums, in lace bags, were its fruits. Cotton babies, in tiny cradles, nestled among its branches. Useful and ornamental articles of children’s clothing added to its weight and richness. Nor was it wanting in leaves from the tree of life, which hung from its boughs in the fora of little books. When lighted with tiny candles, it was indeed “ a tree to be de sired.” The girls of the seminary were first allowed to go and look at the wonderful tree, each of the graduating class receiving some little thing; next the servants and other na tives about the yard; then our own little company gathered around, the little ones held up by the young missionaries to get a good sight. Julia was lifted for a time on Mr. Labaree’s shoulder, and, with the rest, was filled with wonder and delight. The next day, the children were very happy in talking about it, and showing their gifts. Some of Julia’s still remain in the little drawer in which she placed them. Branches of this cedar were carried to the various, apartments, to he placed over picture frames, and remind us of an early home. Julia en joyed this and her other pleasures in a quiet way, not with an exuberance of spirits, as other children. —,T. D. BURNS. Her greatest delight was in talking about heaven, and in this she was really in earnest. Her thoughts were ever turning to her hea venly home. She asked once how she should' get there. At another time, yvith reference to her wish to be an angel, she inquired; “Where shall I get wings?” She asked Miss Beach once if she thought Mr. Thomp son, now deceased, would know her, and added, “I will tell him about Mrs. Thomp son.” r Julia always wished to go with me to our noon meeting. With a few exceptions she was the only child present. She would sit quietly on a little stool at my feet, or oc casionally she would receive an invitation to sit in the arms of some one present, though she could not understand much. The savor of these meetings was pleasant to her, and I have no doubt helped to prepare her for the services of heaven. It was our custom to meet together on Sabbath evening, and devote an hour to the children. Julia took great pleasure in this, and always recited her verses correctly. The last one which she repeated in this way was, — “ Though Jesus is not here below, But ou his heavenly bill, To Him may little children go, And seek his- presence stub” Mr. Cobb, who conducted the exercise, asked her, “ How may little children go to Jesus?” “ When they- die,” she replied. That which was first in her thoughts came first to her lips. One of the pleasantest pictures memo ry retains is that of Julia, her face radiant with delight, repeating, “ There is a happy land, ’ “ I think when I hear that sweet story , > an d another is her standing by me, inquiring, with thoughtful look, “ What does it mean Alas 1 I’m not like Jesus.’ &#****»* .#*«»*** . What does it mean?—‘Still to his footstool in prayer I may go,’ ” etc. After that even ing, the exercises were changed, ana mi ■ Thompson gathered the children together lor an hour on Sabbath morning. This Julia enjoyed still more than the other. One Sat urday afternoon, She clapped her hands, an exclaimed, “ Oh, I’m so.glad to-morrow is Sabbath!” “Why are you so glad? Be cause I shall go to Sabbath school, and Mr.. Thompson will tell me about the twelrejit tle brothers.” She was exceedingly interested in the story of Joseph. She loved any one who would • tell her Bible stones. Mi • Thompson received a large share of that; love. She said to me once, “Mamma, I wish you would do your hair like Mrs. Thompson, added, “ I wish your face was like hers. These sayings of Julia’s, and her evident delight in heavenly things, were gradually preparing my mind for her death, though at the time it was far from my thoughts. Her disease—diarrhoea, running into dysentery had attacked her in the previous autumn; but so gradual were its advances, that at times we thought her improving. She was able to attend school during the winter, and learned quite rapidly. But toward spring, the disease set in with such violence, that as a last resort, we took her to the mountain where, six years before, we had taken her sister. This we never regretted. Though it did not save her life, it made her happier, as for a time she enjoyed being carried out to see the young lambs, the birds, and flow ers. It also gave those of our mission living on the mountains, as well as those at the city, an opportunity to show us kindness which will never be forgotten. While it is so small a thing to record it here, it is plea sant to think that of such deeds it may be said, “ the record is on high.” For a time we were cheered by some fa vorable indications; but the disease retained its hold, and it became evident that she-was failing. For the last few weeks she was feeble, and not inclined to talk. I asked her once, “Julia, do you wish to go to that happy land ?” She answered in the affirma tive, hut said no more. Her disease and the remedies employed caused a great deal of nervous irritability. I said to her once, “ Julia, you must try to be patient.” She replied, in her childish way, “ I does try to be patient.”. I felt reproved.for having in timated, or even thought, that she was not so, for it was evident that she did try. She took the most nauseous medicines without complaint, and bore her many privations With the same resigned spirit. She was sitting one day in her father’s arms, watching the children who were amusing themselves by pouring maple syrup on the snow to cool. She knew this was forbidden fruit to her, but asked her father if she might not have a little of the snow. She was grateful for the kindness shown her. Once, on some little thing being given her, I reminded her lidw much was done for her. She replied with warmth, “I do love them all.” . Some weeks before ‘her death, while she was still able to play, she scratched the fore finger oxi her right hand. Owing to the diseased state of her system, this became a bad sore, .and was quite painful. She kept the hand constantly raised to her head, lest it should be touched and hurt. A few days before her death, she felt a sudden impulse of affection toward me, put her well arm around my neck, and kissed me with an ex pression of love I shall never forget. That kiss went to my heart. I thought it might he her last, and it was. For some days we saw that she was fail ing, hut did not think her end quite so near. On the 2Sd of April, 1861, the mission fami-. lies met at Seir, to celebrate the Lord’s Sup per. After the sermon, Miss Rice came into our room, and kindly insisted on remaining, with Julia, that her father and I might en gage in the communion service. She thus speaks of it: “It was a precious hour. She enjoyed the hymns I read to her very much.. She opened her eyes occasionally, and gave a look expressive of her satisfaction, nay, de light, when her thoughts followed the blessed company of children to their bright home above. Most heartily did she respond ‘Yes,’ when asked if she wished to he with them, and with the Saviour.” Had I known that she was even then on the borders of the happy land, I could not have left her till she had reached the “ shining shore.” On getting up the next morning, and draw ing aside the curtains,, I-saw the shadow of death on her face. The sore arm, which had so long been held up to her head, had fallen on her breast. Her father came to her. She knew us both, and spoke with distinctness. Our friends gathered around. She threw out both her arms, and exclaimed, •“ 0 papa, 0 mamma,” not in tones of distress, but as in quiring what the strange feeling meant. Her eyes turned upward with an intensity of gaze, as though she saw unutterable things, and in a few moments she ceased to breathe. None could desire a more-peaceful death. “ How beautiful!” exclaimed Mr. R., as he looked on the lifeless form of Julia. Yes, it was beautiful, beautiful in death, and how much more beautiful will it be in the resurrection ! She lies by her brother and sister in the little cemetery on the hill, where also sleep Mr. Stoddard, Mr. Thompson, and “ The Persian Flower,” with several other children of the missionaries-—a lovely spot in which to rest;, the plain of Oroomiah, with its charm ing lake spreading out before, and the moun tain rising. behind, as though an intended pathway for the angels, who, ascending and descending, watch over the precious dust, till that blessed morn when “Israel’s gentle' Shepherd” shall “gatherthe lambs.” . “ Calm on the bosom of thy God, Young spirit, rest th.ee now ; E’en while with us thyfootsteps trod, His seal was on thy brow. “ Dust, to its narrow house beneath. Soul, to its place on high! They that have seen thy. look in death No more may fear to die. “ Lone are the paths, and sad the bowers, Whence thy meek smile has gone; But oh, a brighter home than ours. In heaven, is now thine own. ” IlfWttftattMiM. THE BRONZE DOORS FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. It is known that the artist Rogers was. commissioned some years ago by our Govern ment to model, and have cast in bronze, fold ing doors for the Capitol. The doors have just been cast at Munich, and an English writer, who has seen them, gives the follow ing description of the designs which orna ment them:— “ The bronze doors intended for the Ca pitol at Washington, designed and modeled at Rome by the American artist, Rogers, have lately been on view at the Royal foun dry, where they were east. The workman- ship, as is always the case with whatever, emanates from the Munich foundry, is ad mirable. There is a sharpness in the lines, and a finish in the minutest detail, which are in the highest degree ereditable. Of the doors Themselves, it, is not easy to convey am adequate idea by- a mere description; for enumeration of all that is represented might induce the belief that there was a crowding of objects, and that the allotted- space was overfilled; and this:ls not the case. Each door —the whole forms a folding-door—is di vided into four compartments or panels. Thus, with a semi-circular space above, which has the breadth of both the doors together, there are nine divisions, in each of which an important moment of Columbus’s life is re presented. ; .i. “ The figures stand out in full relief; and some of the groups are eminently successful. The crowning event of the discoverer’s career occupies the commanding spot over the top of the doors. Here Columbus, standing on a mound, forms the central figure. He has just landed from a boat, and with the stan dard of Arragon and Castile planted on the new soil, and with sword upraised in his right hand, he takes possession of the land in the name of his sovereigns. Some boatmen are still in the skiff, others are kneeling on the shore, while a group of Indians, peeping irom behind a tree on the opposite side look on in wondering astonishment In one com partment is represented the triumph-1 entry of Columbus into M idnd on his first return from America, amid crowds of gazeis at him, the .hero of the triumph, and at the In lians who precede the procession with paroquets on their upraised arms. •' “ The next panel is occupied with; a,sadder, story. Here Columbus, in chains, surround ed by a sorrowing population, is about to embark for Europe. Then, the- flast scene of all,’ accomplishing his ‘ strange, eventful history,’ we see him on his death-bed, at tended only by a nun and some priests, who administer to him the consolations of reli gion. His son stands beside him. In the thickness of the door itself niches are/formed at certain intervals, and in these are small, whole-length figures of the great contempo raries of Columbus-—kings, statesmen, eccle siastics and warriors. In the centre, close to each other, are two such lines of niches, while, on both’sides; a single row of figures, one above the other, fills up the intermediate space between the outer 1 edge of fthe panels and the door-post. ; Th&large bosses so often’ seen on doors ate here the Heads of those historians who; have written on the discovery of America. ; “The ornaments below eaeh niche are heads of animals indigenous to the country, with fruits and flowers entwined, also char racteristie of the New World. Every orna ment is appropriate, and though they are manifold,. there is no confusion. As there will he no chance of the work being forwarded to the place of its destination for some time, it might-be possible to induce the authorities to allow it to be sent to England meanwhile, where it could not fail to be looked at with the greatest interest. The exhibition of nezt year might present,the desired opportunity for taking such a step. The artist would be glad that so good an occasion offered for making his work known; and the Ameri cans would surely not be unwilling to show the world how munificently they had come forward to erect a grand national monu ment.” ■'SftnnMUti- - Walking in Water. —The Paris corre spondent of the Standard says: “ The mili tary preparations of the French Government are going on with great activity. Experi ments are just now being tried at Vincennes, with a view of introducing comirion rifled howitzers as mortars, by fixing them at a sharp angle, by which contrivance small shells may be thrown some six thousand me tres. But these experiments excite but lit tle attention in comparison with a .new inven tion which has been tried with perfect suc cess, and by which a foot soldier in heavy marching order is enabled to walk on the water without sinking. It consists of a pair of India-rubber boots, which are filled with air a little belo# the . waist, and heavily weighted at the feet. With these trousers on, a detachment has frequently crossed the Jakes of Vincennes, where the water is about fifteen feet deep, firing/ their muskets, and loading as they went. The men sink abomt two feet, the water barely reaching the top of theif thighs, and appear not to have any difficulty in keeping their balance and mov ing alone. The experiment is to be repeated in presence of the Emperor, arid there is not the slighest doubt of its being adopted for the army. The inventor.is a manufacturer of Douai, and I hear that he offered his inven tion to the British Government some time ago, but was laughed at, and even refused a trial.” : The Thousand-Fold Death Bomb.— Mr. Thomas Henry Spencer has invented a fear ful death-dealing bomb. It consists of one large shell, including any number of smaller shells, these latter again containing explo sive bullets, etc. The', shells are separate, not concentric. The fuse will burn under water. We have talked .with those who have seen the .outer .shell Explode, followed by eleven shells within it* and Mr. Spencer guarantees that none off them can fail to ex plode. Out of three hundred experiments, not one failed. The inner shells, as we hinted, may each contain an explosive bul let ; in fact, the seven wives going to St. lyes, each with seven sacks, etc., were like this terrible death dealer, except in pur pose. The fuse, he asserts to be entirely new, and the only one that can be depended on, being a new chemical compound of* Mrr ; Spencer’s invention. He has long been a chemist and pyrotechnist, and has devoted much attention to this subject.for fourteen' years. • . The. Wat Bane Note Plates are'Har dened.—To harden an engraved steel plate, and to prevent it from-warping in the pro cess, a peculiar method must be. adopted. The mode practiced by our bank note com panies is to bury the plates in animal char coal in a. clay crucible,- and expose them to red heat for about two and a half hours, and then cool them by pressing them into cold lead, .By this process, all'of the most deli cate lines of the engraving are preserved in the most perfect manner, without the slight est distortion or damage.— -Scientific Amer.
