The Two Alabaster Boxes.
"A woman in the city, which was a sinner, brought
an alabaster box of ointment, and anointed His
feet."
"Being in Bethany, .there came a woman having an
alabaster box of ointment of spikenard, very pre
cious and she brake the box, and poured it on His
Head."
WHEN Thou,. in patient ministry,
Didst pass a stranger through Thy land,
Two costly gifts were offer'd Thee,
And both were from a woman's hand.
To Thee, who madest all things fair,
Twice;fair and precious things they bring,
Pure;sculptured alabaster clear,
Perfumes for earth's anointed king.
Nan's hasty lips would both reprove,
_Ono for the stain of too much sin,
One for the waste of too much love;
Yet both altaird Thy smile to win.
The saint who listan , d at Thy feet,
The sinner sinners scorn'd to touch,
Adoring in Thy presence meet,
Both pardon'd and both loving much.
Thus evermore to all they teach,
Man's highest style is much forgiven,"
And that earth's lowest yet may reach
The 1/ighest ministries of heaven.
They 'tea& that gifts' of' eiastliest'priee
From hearts sia.beggar'd yet may pour;
And that love's costliest sacrifice
Is worth the love, and nothing more.
Love is the true economist,
Her weights and measures pass in heaven;
What others lavish on the feast,
She to the Lord himself huth given.
" Lore is the true economist,
She through, all else to him bath sped,
And unreproved His feet hath kiss'd,
And spent her ointments on His head.
Love is the true economist,
She breaki the box, and gives her all;
Yet not one precious drop is miss'd,
Since on Ms head and feet they fall.
In all her fervent zeal no haste,
She at ills feet sits glad and calm ;
In 41 her lavish gifts no waste,
The broken vase but frees the balnr.
Love is the truest providence,
Sineirbeyond time hei•goldis good,
Stamp'd for man's mean, three hundred pence."
, With Christ's " She hath done whatshe could."
Love is the best economist
In what she sows and what she reaps; •
She lavishes her all on Christ,
And in Ills all her being steeps.
The Three Wakings and other Poems.
HALLOWED BE TRY NAME.
LET us try to understand the things for
Which we pray when we say, " Hallowed be
thy name. We should not be content 'to
repeat this prayer every night and every
morning without knowing the meaning'of the
words, and what things we ask God to do.
This fetter to heaven 'consists of two pages ;
on one of which we ask God to glorify his
own name, and bless the world ; and on the
second page we ask him to take care of us,
to ,gave us our daily bread, forgive us our
sins, and keep us from all evil.. Last week
we saw why we should ask the best things
first. istow we will inquire what these best
things are. They are so connected, like the
breath and body and actions of a man, that
unless God's mpne is hallowed, his kingdom
cannot come; and unless his kingdom come,
..his will cannot be done on earth as it is in
heaven. But yet we will remember the ex
planation of, them better if we talk ,of only
one'ar a time, and begin first with what the.
Lord has put foremost : Hallowed be thy
name.
What is God's name? Has he more names
than one? What is the use of a name? The
use of a name is to make a person'known, to
distinguish one person from another. Some
'people have several names, and almost every
moon is known by different names to differ
ent peeple. Your neighbors call your fa
ther Mr. Brown, or Mr. Smith ; your cou
sins call him, uncle William. You call him,
simply, father. A letter comes to the post
office, which does not steak a word at all,
but there is writing on the back which refire
knits his 'name. A lady comes to the door,
,and sends in her card to your mother. There
is no writing on the card, but on looking at
it she sees the photograph of a friend, and
knows her name from the picture. When
the celebrated painter, Apelles, visited the
workroom of another painter,
in a distant
city, and did not find him in, he would not
tell the boys in the room his name, bat took
up a pencil and drew a line so beautiful, that
as soon as the other painter came in and saw
it, he said, "That is the hand of Apelles."
God is known by his handiwork in the things
he has made, and by his likenesses in his
()Wren of mankind, and by his letters in
the'i'ble, as well as by the names, Lord,
and (rod. It is a great sin to abuse any
thihg,bY which God makes himself known.
Yon hear a great many, wicked boys and
girls cursinikandswearing; and taking God's
nattielill vain. Perhapi they do net know
that God had eta', " nou shalt not take the
name okt4Q, O. thy God in vain, for the
Lord
.34,1 not hold' guiltless that taketh
ire in ain." " en we say, "hallowed

%ft I of ' hi ' itiguf what they
_say ; or when
they play and amuse themselves airing wor
ship or preaching, they-are not treating God's
name with reverend& Ten 'know how un
mandetiiit 'is for a little' Child to interrupt
f a tievAett It I. WWI e speaking to person ;
that ts;whet children do who play in church,

spe there ftOtti"hiCd. When we
p 9 0 1; roWed„ be thy mine, we ask lig
ev nmay - learn to worship and reve
rence-Gcd. Should not we ourselves then
learrt to do so ? And ought we not to try to
bring all our friends to church and Sabbath
school that they may worship him also. The
glorious angels in heaven worship God with
great reverence. They put their wings be
fore their faces when they go to worship, and
they bay, Holy! Holy! Holy' is the Lord
of hosts ! The whole earth is full of his
glory.
When OM of God's little children thus
'learns to reverence God in church and Sab
bath school, he will have a great respect for
the beautiful things God has made. God
has taken wonderful pains to, paint the flow
ers; and make them so lovely; and his little
children will not wantonly trample them
down, or tear them up_; to throw , them 'away.
If you had a microscope to look at the wing
of a butterfly, you would find that God has
covered it over with beautiful gold and silver
feathers, so little that a thousand of them
would not be as large as one of the feathers
in the wing of Dick, your little canary bird;
and you would 'say : "My Father put each
Of these little feathers there, to please this
little butterfly, and help it to fly about the
flowers, and get its food. Fly away, and be
merry, little butterfly; I wont pull the feath
ers out of your pretty wings !" lie will
think that God has taken wonderful pains'to
make the flutes in the throats of the little
birds, and , to send them very young to sing
-ing school to learn to ,sing Psalms to him ;
and he will say, " Sing as loudly as you can,
little birds, I wont throw stones at a little
bird that sings Psalms to my Father 'in
heaven!"
Did you ever see a picture of God, chil
dren ? I did. I'see several pictures of God
now. These little children are pictures of
God. Children are like their father, and we
are all like our Father in heaven. Not that
God has hands and feet, or can be cold, or
hungry, or hurt like us ; but we can think—
.do things like. Hinrand ho has given us
some, of his dominion, over the, birds, and
beasts, and fishes, and made them afraid of
us. If it were not so, the lions, or the horses,
or even the wasps, and tho ants, could chase
us into the sea. But because God has made
every man, black or white, poor or rich, old
or young, in his own image, he will have all
creatures respect and reverence every human
being, and will , require the life of man of
every beast, and of every man, who kills
another. Would you think it right for.some
one to throw mud upon yoiir father's pieture ?
Every sin defaces the image of God in man,
and makes God, very angry with those who
teach people to sin. "If any man defile the
temple of God, him will God destroy., .Gad
is pleased with all tho;6 . who try to Cleanse
the dirt and dust off his pictures, and frame
and glaze them, and hang then? up, so that
the lirorld May see lowgood and bokutiful
God is. Our good- missionaries in hslia,
have picked up sixty pictures of God out of
the dirt,—sixty little orphan children,—and
are trying to cleanse them from the;dirt and
vice of heathenism, and to frame them, into
a Christian school, -and glaze theme over and,
protect them with the diacipline the Chits
tian Church, and are praying God to Make
them; now creatures,- in Christ Jesus, and
teach them to live for the purpose of doing
good; like Jesus, who always went about
doing good, and like God himself, for the
word God means, The person who is good,
and who •does good.
Let us always revelence and respect every
thing by which God makes himself known to
us. The more of God' we see in anything,
or In 'any person, let us respect itetho more.
Then we can pray that other people also
may know, and love, and reverence our Fa
ther in Heaven, This is what we mean when
we pray, Hallowed be thy name.
A WORD TO Ojit YOUNG NEN AND
SOME present are blessed with prudent
mothers—with-mothers who are as watchers
in the home—who with an eagle's eye see
threatening mischief, and with a giant's
strength build bulwarks against it. TO all
thus favored we say, highly prize such / 110 -
thers. Speak not a word that shall fly as a
fiery dart into their souls. Do nothing that
shall increase their cares, or arouse their
fars, or wound their sensitive spirits. Obey
them so long as you are under the parental
roof; -and when you leave father and mother,
listen to a -Mather's advice with 'a; reverent
spirit. Account a prudent mother a precious
,gift from God, and for the possession of all
the advantages which this gift affords give
God praise. When enumerating your mer
cies, never, fail to make mention of your mo
ther. The day is coming when death will
part you. You may be taken from her, but
the probability is that she will be removed
from you. Keep this prospect seriously be
fore you.
Others before me have been bereaved' of
prudent mothers. If Children live to appre
ciate a mother, the wound which her death
inflicts never completely heals, A. mother is
like the central orb in a planetary system—
she keeps the children together . by drawing
them unto herself. She is like the pole-star •
to a fleet at sea. The vessels may lose sight
of each other, but they follow the guidance
of the celestial light. The loss of a true
mother is severely:felt. - Still you may in
measure retain her; by remembering and by
applying her lessons, as given alike by ex
ample and by the words of the lip; Although
she is gone,-still keep her birthdaystill cele
brate her wedding day ; and when you are
able, visit her grave. Every daisy upon that
mound, and every blade of grass,. or every
letter upon that tombstone, shall echo some
maternal utterance, or reflect the inscriptions
of some Maternal epistles. Has your mother
passed into the :skies? How nobly .boin are
you! What nobler origin could you, desire?
Live in a style worthy of such parentage,
and take care that a reunion is effected when
you leave thismorld. The Saviour can secure
this for you.
Young women may learn a useful lesson
from the subject before .us. Sep. ,what really
fits your sex for, the most iniportant positions
'of life. It is sound and practical wisdom„
You may have wealth, rank, mental accom
plishments, and personal attractions, and yet
be
,disqualified for ther duties to which such
as-yourselves are zconiniOnlY destined:- eil
tivate not that which is fine and showy, bid
that which is useful:---not that which is senti
mental, but that which is practical. Read
works of fiction very sparingly, and read ac
tual life very carefully and copiensly. Search
all sacred Scripture,but especially, for prac
tical purposes, the words of our Saviour and
the words of Solomon. Do not be qualifying
yourselves to be a man's plaything, but be
prepared to be his real helper. Get pru
dence—get it by careful observation-&-g et
by digesting your own expthence—and get
it by communion with the God of wisdom.
And turning' o young men, we say, when
the times arrives to think of marriage, make
the 'text a light to your path. Seek front
the Lord a prudent wife. Some writer has
said, Choese,the daughter of a gootmpther.'
But, looking at all that is involved in mar
riage, let me beseech you ever to ask counsel
or Gild, and to' Make' the' words *Welt He'has
spoken your guide:
We commenced this discnirse.bi some re:
Imarks upon the essentialequality of mankind.
We would close it ,by calling your , attention
to the great difference which ,exists between
those who perform' our common duties, and
bear our common trials and encounter our

common temptations with their own stre rt g
and those who meet all demands and claims
in the strength imparted by an ever-helping
Redeemer, and who look upon all that happens
in the light of His love,
instead of beholding
events as under the clouds of human igno
rance and foreboding. Recognising the dif
ference , between, the disciples of our Lord
Jesus Christ and these who not love and
trust, serve and, follow Him, 'we ask—we ask
you individually—art thou one of Christ's
disciples?
The way of life is often through thick
darkness; you need God'e Son to guide
The natural way of man is evil—dangerous,
and ruinous ; .you need God's Son to ransom
The way of life is ofteu through fierce and
terrible' storms, and you wilt always need
God's Son to shelter and comfort you. Will
not this- be the case *hen, by the bereave
ment of death, your house shall become to you
as , a survivor, a house of mourning ? And
will not thiS be also the case when death by.
his: impending stroke shall threiten to slay
you f and to make your home a house of
Mourning te others? In life and in death,
may Jesus Christ be our, faithful friend.—
Amen.—/tev. D. Martin.
THE CHRISTIAN THIEF
A remarkable discovery was lately made,
upon the decease of a woman of quality, in
London. Fier chambers were filled with all
manner of shop goods, from coal scuttles, to
gold watches ' which she had stolen from the
shops she frequented., - The shopkeepers
knew her Monomania, and sent the bills to
her husband, who paid them. She never
made aily use of the:Stolen goods, never gave
any of them away, and kept the rooms con
taining them very:closely locked, lest
any one- Should see the , stolen articles. She
simply gratified her habit of stealing things.
I know several. Christian monomaniaes,
who do precisely the same thing.; only they
steal out of e,hurches '
instead of out of stores,
and do the principal plundering on the Sab
bath. They do not pocket the bibles and
hymn books*; they only steal their contents.
I have never caught any of them carryngi
off the pulpit sofa„ or the church clock, but
they have a remarkable taste for purloin
the: public gospel, and hiding it where
it will never be cleen or heard of.
`They must-have i an enormous: accumulation.
of
_gospel truth by this tante, for they have
been carrying off every Sabbath for years, as
much as would save _a whole family, but they
have never . parted with one . word of it to any
mortal, - for fear of detection, I suppose.
Their own children could never suspect they
had been to church, unless they actually ac :
companied them No. word escapes them
haVing the slightest reference to religien,
either on the way or in the house. They
must have heard an impressive sermon in
youth, from the text; A 13208, VI. 10, " Hold
thy tongue, for we may not make mention of
the name of the Lord." Theirpower of secre
tiveness iaperfectly astonishing. If two or
three of them should carry off the church bell
some day , . and hide - it down in the cellar
Without. ever allowing it to tinkle, it would
not be a'feat equal• to that of one of theM,
who carrying off the Whole proceedings of a
most arousing prayer meeting in her muff,
with an air of the most naive earnestness,
addressed her friend as she crossed ,the
church door with, "guestv who is, going to be
married ?" • • • • WATCHMAN.

BE. BRIEF.
Such was' the pithy advice of a greatly
revered father in Israel, to his neophytes,
when introducing thein to his pulpit. I
would fain whisper it in the ears of nay fellow
teac4erB. Make your lesSons short. Make
your questions brief. Above all make your
prayers -brief. You have only an hour for
reciting lessons, hearing catechisin, reading
and - questioning, ' exhortation, singing, and
devotional exercises. If you pray fifteen
minutes, . and if somebody addresses the
school fifteen minutes, what time is left for
other duties?'
I. listened last Sabbath) Withgreat pain, to
a prayer at the 'opening-of. a
,school, which
could only be described by a word coined by
. the Rhemish translators, longanimity. It
was a good prayer, and an earnest one, and
the nfferer remembered every, interest_ of the
church from China,to the,Potomae;.but right
in front , of Me, Was a eligs',Of rowdy boys,
without a teacher, trying to steal each other's
caps, and 01:4415u4onyof0019ther,:s jac
kets, And ;the class behind that was, trading
knives, , and the infant class, wa,s carrying On
a comparison, of mittens,.and skating caps:
Oh how I longed to pull that broilier!s skirt,
and whisper in his ear, stop. Would not
five7intelligiblewords,—words corrying some
meaning known to-t f hp. children, be a more
acceptable prayer from that Sabbath school,
than the fifteen minute's prayer, for things
which, they could,not.,possibly understand,
and had no thought of asking? -
Teachers never exceed three minutes in
,
your . .prayers. Every minute more is only
training the children to formalism and hypo

CULTURE OF COTTON,
THE Commissioner of Patents has issued
a circular in which he says;. yhe
tion - of cotton in the Tree States is beginning
to attract moral attention.; To prevent fail
nres-ih;ltieultivatie n; it is proper to remark
that it a principle in vegetable physiology
that tropical plants can newer be acclimated
North, exceptliY a repeated reproduction =of
new varieties from the seed. The attempt
to acclimate the Sea Island oaten, such' as
is now being brought from Hilton Head,
would prove a failure in any portion of the
Free States.
" The only:ii:Orttrotic Capable:4sfie,"=
cessfulcul&ratiori in these sections; now seek
ing its introduction, is the green seed cotton,
such, as is now being raised extensively in
Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and portions
of Kentucky, and wich produces the white
fibre. The seed should be obtained from
these localities. The modifications of the
soil and climate will influence the Size of the
plant, the length and fineness of the fibre,
and the product of the crop ; but no reason?
able doubt is entertained of the success of
the culture in all the wild portions of-the
Middle States, and efforts are now being
made to procure the proper seeds for distri
bution..
" The Commissioner further says that the
resuite4 of the cultivation of Sorgha, the past
year, settle the question of its entire practi
cal success, and that one of the difficulties
presenting itself, is the want -of , pure seed.
To meet, this want the department has or
dered seed from France for distribution in
the ensuing Spring. It must be borne in
mind, however, that the same causes which
have produced deterioration Mere exist-there,
and well ,grounded. appWi.epions are enter
tained that, the seed:thus imported may not
be free from suspicion. Farmers, who are
interested, should secure pure seek from
-among themselves - when it is ,possible, as the
season is so far advanced .that direct impor
tations, from Africa or China will be imprac
ticeable."
THE THREE 1".8.
Protaptitude, Perseverance. and Painstaking
,
AT the close of the last century, a poor,
awkward, uncouth, boy entered London but
he was so long, lank, and ungainly, that he
seeredfit'enly to be the drudge of a print
ing-office:; run errands, bring water, ..sweep
the floor, and the like. Already-hai pover r
ty and the of the world made him
sour, Unhopeful, and independent. Under
less diseouragements, many:a youth has aban
doned. himself to ,an aimless life, having no
higher aim than to live but for the day;
or, worse still, has plunged headlong into
the extravagances andlOttlience,s connected
with thriftleskliess" and . 441* e. But the boy
had vigorous health; this imparted to him a
mental vim, a moral power, which soon show
ed itself to his eniployer. He was prompt,
persevering and painstaking ; and, with these
three qualities, in spite of the fact that he
was good .at nothing, in every thing tolerable
only, he made his patient way, step by step s ,
to the woolsack of England, and lately died,
(worth a million of dollars ; ) among the most
honored men of his nation and age—Lord
Chief-Justice Campbell. In - this case, vigor
ous health was a mine of Wealth ; a better
fortune than if he had been the heir of many
thousands. And certain is it, that the World
would be a happier - world, and.the men in - it
would-be happier„ better, and greater, if one
tithe of `
the time, and care; and study which
parents bestow onthe accumulation of money
to leave to their ehildern, were devoted to
the, physical education and training necessary
to secure a vigorous . constitution. Of any
two young,men, starting -on the race- of life,
one poor but healthy, the gther rich And -effe
minate, other things befag equal, the Chances
for usefulness, honor, 4smd:a well-remember
ed name, are manifold in of the 'former.
Who that reads this article will lay it down
and reSolire : "I will do more to leave to my
children a vigorous constitution ?"
Another element in the. success of
. Aord
Chief-Justice, Campbellwas, that his employ
er seeing his dull nature_; but noticing at the
same time' that when he had any thing to do,
he wentat it promptly; and with-great pains
taking kept at it until thework in hand was
done, although done painfully slow, he pat
ted him - on the shoulder,, always spoke cheer
fully to -him, and thus stimulated him to grea
ter activities. 4ow many a youth at school,
how many an apprentice in' the shop, how
many a-child in the family, has gone out in
the night of a blighted life, who, with humane
encouragements, might have lived usefully
and died famous,, et the - passionate teacher
and master and parent - inquire, and do a lit
