Little Maggie's Grave.
BY M. E. M.
AFAn away on a hillside,
A little grave is made ;
Where, once in a drear November,
'A precious form was laid.
Cold and stern is the casket,
That keeps in its icy grasp,
The sweet opring flower that faded,
And dropped from our clinging clasp
The tones of old songs may perish,
And their echoes ring no more
Through the pictured halls of memory,
On the heart's mosaic floor.
But the songs that our darling warbled,
And the lisping words she said,
A,rid the sound of her tiny footsteps
Keep coming back from the dead.
Oft as her rippling laughter '
Rang sweet through hall and stair ;
Oft as her voice at evening,
Spoke reverent words of prayer ;
Oft as we marked the beauty
That grew in her little face,
We thanked the God who gave her s
To brighten our dwelling place.
But we over thought of the angels,
'With wings of silver spread ;
Who shadowed such gleams of beauty
Upon her little head.
Oh Shepherd above, thy pastures,
Are fairer far than ours ;
But we shrink when Then takest our lambkin.
To dwell amid fadeless flowers.
For it makes the fold so lonely,
Aid the hearth sa dark and dim ;
And mourning o'er our darling,
We can raise no grateful hymn—
For the silence that groweth daily,
And the rift in the heart unheard ;
And the golden dreams that are broken,
And the wells of grief upward.
But lye-and-bye, we-can thank Thee,
'ho ever knowest best :
That our little ones were taken
Up to thy shelt'ring breast.
The rest shall taste earth's Marsh,
And faint beside the way,
And see the beauties of childhood,
Drift one by one away. •
But ehe—no years shall write their
Deep wrinkles on her brow,
No rolling Time shall rob-her
Of spring's first bloom and glow.
We cannot dream of her changing,
In the Father's house above :
For to us sheds never a maiden,
But the precious child of our love.
Always a child ! And at even,
• When the 'winter winds are wild;
When the curtains are drawn the closer,
We seem to see our child.
Then scatter thy crimson: leaflets,
Oh 1 Autumn, where she lies;
She lives in undying spring-time,
•Our treasure, in the skies.
:ASK THE BEST THINGS FIRST.
" Our Father, which art in heaven ; bellowed be
Thruam,e • Thy kingdom come ; Thy will be done

'What a terrible thing it would be if some
cilie would come and carry you away from
your father and mother, and starve you, and
scold you, and beat you all day long, and
,prevent, you from sending any letter or mes
sage to them.' A poor sick lady was once
sent to a hospital for the insane, whefe - she
was very badly treated, and not allowed to
write to any of her friends. When they
made Inquiry after her, the keepers of the
hospital said she was mad, and told her
friends not to listen to her. So one day,
having no friend on earth to go to, she wrote
a letter to The Good God, sand tied it under
the, wing of.a little canary bird, and opening
the - vrindow, let the little bird fly away: The
little bird flew away to the public square and
alighted on a tree. A lady saw him and
saw the little letter, and employed some per
sons to ,Cateh him. Then she reed the letter
mill took pity on the poor - sick lady, and
fold her friends, and they came and took
her away from the power of the cruel people

The Good God, for help to his poor banished

What should we ask God first of all to do ?
gthe South there are a great many chil
en who have been sold away from 4 their
fathera and mothers, who are beaten and
abused if they cry when - they think of-them,
and who , would be terribly, flogged if they
tried to get home again. These children
are called slaves, and this subjection to abuse
is slavery. These children have been told,
and whispered. it one to another, that
the army. of the United States is fighting
against their masters, to destroy slavery.
Seine of them did not believe it;:but when
the army landed at Port Royal and set a
great many of them free , ' -they were over
joyed. Now do your think that:' die of these
boys should be contented to, be free himself,
and itilfet food and clothes,- while:his little
brothers and sisters were still, in slavery ? If
o e,of these boys,could get to, speak with the

Alie„ rebel slaveholders, and let the loyal
black people go free ? A ship was once
badly...ifs:rocked in a great storm—the water
cast were and the bread was soaked
with salt water. The sailors- could not get
her to the shore, and the sun shone down so
bot . that one after another fainted away with
tbirSt ; for they had nothing to drink but
fiat water. At length' after many days, an
other vessel came in sight and drew near,
and sent a boatfull of sailors to look at the
wrecked ship. They saw something like a
d o g, with clothes on it, doubled up in a cor
ner, and on examining it found it was a man,
who was still breathing. Ho was so weak
with hunger and thirst that he could not eat
a little bit of salt 'beef he had. in his hands.
He could not speak nor move. He was so
light that a boy lifted him over the shipylike
a little bundle. When they got him onboard,
they put some cordial in his mouth wlth'a
spoon, and he revived a little. What do you
'think were the first, words he said? Did the
pee - r,-thirsty, perishing soul. ask for water or
bribed ? No i The very first words he
bloke.were, There another man ! And so
ere was—and they went back, and found
him, and saved him too. Was not that no-

year. Bad men are going round the country
stealing horses and cattle, burning houses,
and shooting men and women. Mr. Barry
told us three weeks ago, that near Bush
creek, in Missouri, he went with soldiers one
night, to a • place in the weods where shots
had been fired. They came to a little clear
ing in the woods, and saw a small log house,
with the door wide open. The moon was
shining in, and they saw a than lying dead
on the floor, a woman in her night-dress
sitting beside him, crying, and the little
frightened children trying to hide in a
corner. They asked the woman what
was the matter. She told them that a
number of armed men came to the house
and asked her husband to enlist with them.
They were rebels. He said he had no horse,
and they were on horseback. They promised
to give him one. He said he could not leave
his wife and children ; as they had nothing
to eat, and no wood, unless he staid to work
for them. They said they would provide for
his family. He then said he did not like to
fight. They left him then; but nine of them
came back at night, and called him to the
door, and those nine men shot him in his own
doorway. Then they told his wife to take
him in now; they had no further use for him.
Dr. Guthrie, of Sparta, told us, that one day
a man from near Cape Girardeau came into
that place with a wagon, containing the body
of a little baby, which these secessionists had
killed. They came to his house one morning
after he had gone out, and asked his wife
where ho was. She did not know, and told
them so. They told her they would kill her
little baby, lying in the cradle, unless she
told them. But the poor woman could not
tell. Then they took the little baby and
tied a cord round its neck, and hung it up
till it was nearly dead ; and let it down again,
and asked her would shetell now. When she
would not, theytook up the little baby again,
and hanged it dead. When the people saw
the little baby with the mark of the cord
around its neck they became angry, and en
listed for soldiers, to help the President to
put down the rebellion, and kill these wicked
men. They left their 'arm houses and beds,
to live in. tents, and sleep on the cold ground,
and keep guard out of doors all the-stormy
night, and to march all the long day, and. to
stand up to be shot at by the enemy, and to
fight the secessionists, and many of them to
be wounded and killed. Your uncles, and
cousins, and brothers, and some of your Sab
batfi school teachers, and your - pioneer pastor,
are among them, and bearing these hardships.
When I went down to Camp Douglas, with a
gentleman who was goin g to Washington to
see the President and. Secretary of war in, a
few days, and had seen their poor cold bar
ra9ks, and coarse fare, he asked them if they
had any message to the President or Secre
tary of war. Nov what do you think t4se
brave men asked for'? Did, they ask f4pr
more blankets to keep them warm ? Or - for
better barracks ? Or for more money ? Na I
They said, tell him all we,-want is good .mus
kets,and an order to march against the enemy.
They were not thinking of themselves at all,
but of their country and of the murders
the rebels were committing ; and they would
suffer any thing themselves, rather than have
peaceful men shot in their own houses, and
little babies taken out of their cradles, and
hanged before their mothers' faces. Now do
you think it is right for these brave men to
forget themselves and their own hardships
for the sake of their country?
of us to do when we pray to him. The whole
world is up in rebellion against him, and this
rebellion in Missouri against the United
States, is only a part of the great rebellion
of all wicked men against God. He will
have his children remember that we are living
in a rebel world ; and that our brothers and
sisters, and. friends and neighbors are all
being abused, and robbed, and nuirdered by
sin. If every one would do the will of God,
and hallow His name, and if God's kingdom
were once again set up in this world, there
would be no sin, nor sickness, nor drunken
ness. People would not figkt and kill one
another, nor sell -whisky, nor steal. We
would have. no need Tor jails to put prisoners
in, nor for police to catch them. No poor
little children would be cold or hungry, and
nobody would abuse his little boy or girl any
more. Everybody would love and worship
God, 'and God Would bless everybody.:"
You and I cannot ourselves bring in this
Kingdom of God, but God can, and, there,
fore, we ask him to do. it. And because the
welfare of all mankind is so much more im
portant than yours and mine, and because
God's glory is so much greater, and his : plans
so much wiser than yours or mine.;:he teaches
us, before we begin to ask anything at all for
ourselves, to pray that-the whole world may
be subjected to his good government, and
the Great Rebellion may be put down and
God's will be done,' and his name worshipped
everywhere. That is the reason why Christ
has taught us before we ask God to give us
our daily bread, or to forgive us our sins, to
pray, 'Thy Icingdem:cpme.' We should - ask
the best things first. He says, 'seek ye
first the kingdom of God and his righteous
ness, and all other things shall be added
iinto-you.' R. P.

WHAT POOE BOYS CAN
And we might as well say, too, " What
poor girls can do," for we have many re
markable examples of girls born in humble
life, who have risen to stations of great
honor
,and.- usefulness. But as we happen
now to` have a particular ease in mind, we
have made our title read accordingly.
The western part of Massachusetts, as all
know who -have been there, is very rough,
rocky and mountainous. After one crosses
the Connecticut river, going westward, he
soon cornea to the beginning of the Berkshire
hills. This is not one single line of hills,
but a great spreading region, of hills, twenty
or thirty miles wide. The towns in this dis
trict of country are mostly small in. popula
tion, and the people live scattered. The
roads are steep and hard. The pasture
lands are good, but the fields are full of
rocks, and it is difficult to cultivate them.
A little more than fifty years ago, in one
of the towns on the eastern side of this
rocky region, a Mr. M— was keeping a
little academy. As he came to his school
room early one winter morning, he found a
lad sitting on one of the benches, who was a
perfect stranger to him. - Wondering: who
he was, and why he should be there, he be
lan to question him. The lad told him
that he had come over that morning, on foot,
from a neighboring town, several miles away
among the hills, that he wanted very much
to get an education, that „he had heard. of
his school, and he had come to see whether
there might not be some way by which he
could join it. Mr. M------ dsked him of his
parents. The boy said they were very poor,
and were not able to do much-for him and
American'igteolvtterian and 6tittott (6rangtliot.
he had no friends to assist him, but he wanted
to get an education, and he thought there
must be some way by which it could be done,
The teacher found that he meant by an "edu
cation," not simply going to school for a few
months, but a thorough collegiate and theo
logical course. He wanted to be a minister.
Mr. M— set before him the difficulties of
the undertaking, the expense of going
through three long years of study. The boy
had thought of all that; but other boys,
starting from poverty, had found their way
through, and he thought be might. At any
rate he wanted very much to try.
The teacher found by all this conversation,
that though the lad did not know exactly
how it was to be done, yet there was in him
a fixed idea that it might be done in some
way. His purpose was strong, and his will
decided to make the attempt. Not daring
any longer to discourage a lad who was so
resolute, he assisted him in finding a place
where he could work for his board and pur
sue his studies. When the school closed in
the spring, the teacher was satisfied that the
boy was right. He had made great pregress
in his studies. He had shown that unflinch
ing will and courage, before which difficul
ties give way,. He had fairly started; and
there was no thought in him cf going back.
But we must not stop to follow him through
all the steps
.of the long and difficult journey
upon which he had set out. He went through
as he thought he should, though he did not
know at first how. We have told from what
region of country he came, and how he set
out ; and now we will skip over several years,
and look at him after his education is com
pleted.
He was a distincruished scholar, and after
he finished his course of public studies, he
was appointed Professor in one of our New
England colleges, and went to Europe on
some service connected with the College.
He was in. Paris, soon to return to this coun
try, when the Foreign Missionary Society
wanted him to go as missionary to Palestine,
and had obtained the consent of the college,
provided he himself were willing to go.
Word was sent to Paris, what had been done,
and after considering the matter carefully,
and with prayer, he decided to go on this
mission. He did not return tb this country,
but went directly on his way to Palestine,
and now - for about forty years, he has been
a faithful and laborious missionary in that
quarter - of the world, distinguished fOr his
learning and usefulness.
This lad, who found his way out from the
rough hills of his native town, and from the
poverty to which he was born, has a name in
the world now of great dignity and honor—
which come from a life of self-denial and
Christian usefulness. For several years past
he has been at Athens, in Greece, laboring
to bring mento a knowledge of the gospel of
Jesus Christ. This poor boy is Dr. Jonas
King, and if our young readers do not know
much about him, or about what he is doing,
this story which we have told .of him may
lead them to be more interested in him, and
to-learn more about the work in which he is
engaged.
How-much nobler it is to live in this way,
to conquer and overcome the obstacles which
-stand in our path, than to float along just as
it happens, and grow up a person of not
much account in the wotld` any way! Let
the poor boy who reads this resolve, that,
with the help of God, he will be somei -I .= -

MUSKRATS PREDICT A MILD WINTER,
THE Milwaukie Wisconsin says it is going
to be a mild winter, for Joel Hood, the cele
brated auctioneer, who has been all over the
'Western territories, the Pacific States and
the Sandwich Islands, and who probably
knows as much about the peculiarities of, wild
animals as any man in the West, stakes his
reputation upon the prediction that we are to
have . a mild, winter, with prevailing winds
'from the south for the next'six months. Ile
bases" his knowledge upon the doings of the
muskrats, beavers, and other animals last
fall. He also says that it ha ‘ a.been reduced
to a certainty by scientific• and ordinary ob
servations, that whatever winds nprevailed
when the equinoctial line is passed, they will
prevail_ throughout the. winter. Last fall it
was southern winds, And therefore, he is cer
tain they will`be the prevailing winds during
the winter. The question:herein raised' will
be fully settled by the first of March next.
HUNGARY IMPROVING.
Trils country has recently entered upon
a great career , of progress. The various
landed prokiefors hive established a system
of cultivation by paid laborers, in lieu of the
feudal system they abolished in 1848; and a
great network of railroads and river naviga
tion is about to come into operation. In this
year (1862) three lines of cheap conveyance,
intersecting Hungary and ending in Trieste,
will be.opened. These routes include about
2100 miles of stea,w.hvigstion, fed byabout
350 miles of rivers 'or canals, traversed by
common barges or boats, and 1400 mileeof
railways, not including the Vienna and, rieste
lines. To load the railway trucks and steam
boats, Hungary has 25,000,000 acres of
arable land, nearly 4,000,000 acres of raeaf:
dows, 1,000,000 acres of 'vineyards, besides
forest, moor and mountain •land ; in all, up
wards of 60,000,000 acres of land, more or
less agricultural in its character. The soil
is fertile, the climate favorable to corn crops,
the landlords intelligent, and well acquainted
with labor-saving machinery. Nothing but
peace and liberty are needed to make it the
granary of Europe, as well as a rich source
of revenue to Austria, if her Emperor will
consent to free institutions.
GENTLENESS OF ADDRESS.-It is a very
great and fatal mistake in persons who at- I
tempt to convince or reconcile others to their
party, when they make the difference appear
as wide as possible ; this is shocking to any
person who is to be convinced—he will choose
rather to keep and maintain his own opinions,- I
if he cannot come into yours without renoun
cing and abandoning everything that he be-
lieved before. Human nature Must be flat
tered a little, as well as reasoned with, that
so the argument may be able to come at his
understanding, which otherwise will be thrust
off at a distance. If you charge a man with
nonsense and absurdities, with heresy and
self-contradiction, you take a very wrong
step towards convincing him.— Watts' :Pos

CBARLBS LAMB tells ktis sad experience as
a warning to young men, in the following
language:
" The waters have gone over me. But
out of the black .-depths,' could I be heard,
I would cry out to all those who have
set a foot in the perilous flood. Could
the youth, to whom the flavor of the .first
wine is delicious as the opening seasons of
life, or the entering upon some newly disco
vered paradise, look into my desolation, and
be made to understand what a dreary thing
it is when he shall feel himself going down a
precipice, with open .eyes' and a passive will,
to his destruction, and have no power to stop
it, and yet feel it all the way emanating from
himself; to see all godliness emptied out of
him, and yet not able to forget. a time when
it was otherwise ; to bear about the piteous
spectacle of his own ruin ; conld he see my
fevered eye, feverish with the last night's
drinking, and feverishly looking for to
night's repetition of the folly; could he but
feel the body of the death out of which I cry
howly with feebler outcry to be delivered,it
were enough to make him dash the sparkling
beverage to the earth, in all the. Pride of its
mantling temptation."

A NEW Bo2lnssELL.- -The Thiffalo Courier
gives an account .of a newly-invented bomb
shell or rocket which was tried in that city
a few days ago with- succesiful results. This
journals - says
"The rocket consisted of a cylindi j ipal can,
one chamber of which contained about a pint
of fluid, and the other some three ounces of
powder. Upon being fired it exploded and
scattered the fiery fluid in all directions.
The flames might be estimated at fifty or.
_sixty feet in- circumference. The fluid used
burned seven minutes, notwithstanding the
application of water. Although the experi
ment tried was on a small scale, we see no
_reason why_ton or .twenty gallons of fluid,
fired by the same means, :might not work
terrible destruction to the ships or fortifica
tions of an enemy. We understand that an
other trial with a much larger bomb, will be
made in a short dm.'
NAVAL WARS WITH ENGLAND.—At the

war,

00 ships were employed in the trade between
Ireland and :the' West Indies ; at the end of
