I am'. and dream
Of the time that prophets have long foretold,
Of au age surpassing the age of gold,
Which the eyes of the selfish can never behold,
When truth and love shall be owned su
preme.
I think and weep
O'er the thousands oppressed by sin and woe,
O'er the long procession of those who go,
Through ignorance, error, and passions low,
To the unsought bed of their dreamless sleep
I wait and long
For the sway of justice ' the rule of right;
For the glad diffusion of wisdom's light;
For the triumph of liberty over might ;
For the day when the weak shall be free
- from the strong.
I work - and slug
To welcome the dawn of the fairer day,
When crime and sin shall have passed away,
V, hen men shall llve as well as they pray,
And earth with the gladness of heaven shall
ring.
I trust and hope
In the tide of God's love that unceasingly rolls,
In the dear words of promise that bear up our
souls,
In the tender compassion that sweetly consoles,
When in death's darkened valley we tremb
lingly grope.
I toil and pray
For the beauty excelling all forms of art;
For the blessings that comes to the holy heart;
For the hope that foretells, and seems a part
Of the life and joy of the heavenly day.

THE ROME OF BEN.
AT the appointed time, Mr. Elliot found
himself again in the wretched court; within
whose precincts Ben's father lived. The houses
were black and ruinous—many of the windows
were stuffed up with old hats and rags, while
from others were lolling out idle, dirty, flaunt
ing women, talking and laughing loudly. In
the centre of the court was a heap of rubbish,
about which prowled some starved, guilty
looking cats and dogs, while children,- that
looked like nothing in the world but bundles
of rags and dirt, grovelled in the mire, or
started up with fearful .unehild-like words to
squabble and fight. It was a painful scene,
and Mr. Elliot groaned over the want of la
borers in.this mission field,
" Where souls were wandering far and wide,
And curses swarmed on every side."
One or two touching little things struck
Mr. Elliot's eye. There was a broken flower
pot in one widow, in which a small fuchsia
was hanging. out its graceful but sorely
blighted blossoms. In another there was a
little box of mignonette, pale and stunted,
but still a green thing,. which might per
chance take a thought of freshness into its
possessor's heart. From yet another window
a lark, imprisoned in a small cage, was pour
ing out its heavenward notes, and at inter
vals beating the bars of its cage, with the
wild veheme,nce,of its longing or purer air
and freedom. Mr. Elliot wondered if, in
that dreary court, the lark's song took a mes
sage to any of higher things—if there were
but one soul that longed to spread its wings
and flee - away. There was, none of those
little external symbols of hotter things in
poor Ben's dwelling. It looked , more for
lorn than ever. The step-mother was less
stupid, but more ferocious than-she had been
during Mr. Elliot's last visit. She had just
finished boxing poor little Ben's ears so
soundly that lie had , fallen against the wall,
and his nose was bleeding, and he was cry
ing loudly; but the pain somehow lulled, and
the tears dried up by the very sight of his
friend. His father, two other men, and a
bold, liandsoxne girl, were playing caxds,
smoking, and drinking in one corner; while in
another a wan, stricken-looking wonian was
leaning against the wall with her arms fold
ed, and at her feet lay on the same dirty
straw the same sick child whom Mr. Elliot
had seen before—" little Moll." She was
leaning'on her elbow, her eyes sparkling and
her cheeks flushed with feverishness, as she
watched her mother and Ben with stran g e,
wistful looks, that kept turning frotti. them
again up to the dirty broken panes, And to
the dim blue strip of sky which she had ,
watched, and watched, till it had grown like
the face of a friend. Mr. Elliot thought that
there was something like the little prisoned
lark in the upward look of the sick child.
She was murmuring some. words over and
over to herself. Jle bent down to listen, and
was surprised to hear her repeating a verse
of that pretty hymn: •
14 I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless lamb of God."
"Who taught her that ?" he asked.
"Ira some gammon of Sue's there," an
swered the woman impatiently, while one of
the men shouted out rudely: "
" What! Sue the sinner turned Sue the
saint ! What's to be next ?" '
The poor woman flushed and turned sadly
to Mr. Elliot, Saying in a weak, low voice
" It were none o' mine, but • Ben's Mother
kept crooning it over before she died.
good lady taught it to her ' and a deal more,,
and she kind of smiled when she said it, and
I told it over to the, little lass there * but I
know naught more of IL"
"What's your business, if se you- have
any?" interrupted Ben's step-mother, look
ing fiercely at Mr. Elliot.
"You'd best be quick," Said one of the
men, in a threateninc , . 'one: - .
Mr. Elliot turned .to a man who had not
spoken, and whom Ben had pointed out as
his father, and in a few short but kind words
made known his wish to take the boy from
his home,
,put him at school, and afterwards
get hint, taught a useful trade. The man
hesitated, and then said;
"But how much'll you give for hid?" *
Mr. Elliot was too wise to show his horror
at the idea of the child being sold by the
father, but repeated that he should be com
pletely taken off his hands, and instead of
growing up in habits of ignorance and crime,
which might end in the gallows, he should
learn to be a useful and respectable man.
" Well, well, master, answered the man,
44 but it's just this—what's good enough for
me's good enough for him, I reckon ; he'll
turn a penny when he gets big, and unless
you fork out some tin, I wontpart with a bit
of him."
"Are you a fool, Joe Brown ?" interposed
Sue, trembling with agitation. " I tell you
his mother won't rest in her' grave if ye mur
der the child's Soul as ye a'most murder his
body. Lot him go, and be thankful, or she'll
be at you. I know what I know, and you've
a guess what I mean, maybe."
A. fast.
The man was evidently not insensible to
her words, for he looked uneasily round, and
then said in a subdued tone : Well, but
you'd surely give me something for the lad."
Thoroughly disgusted, Mr. Elliot was be
ginning to .repeat his first offer, with the ad
dition of a small bribe, for poor little Ben's
face of fear and doubt made him resolve to
do his utm6st to rescue him, when the step
mother, who had fortified herself with another
dram, stepped forward with her arms a-kim
be : "Would she allow that gallows' bird of
a boy, who was the plague of her life„ to be
set up like a gentleman indeed, when she
and her children were left behind?—not
she !" and with a fearful oath she declared
that the boy should never set a foot in their
grand schools. With a scowl and a curse
the man replied : "You'd best be quiet, mis
tress, pretty gentle folks .you and your brats
would be, save little Moll, mayhap," and his
face softened. " Well, continued he, "I'll
think on it, master."
At that moment a tremendous- noise of
cheering and laughing was heard below, and
'loud calls came for "Joe the joker," and
" Tim the tinker." With the love of excite
ment common among their class, they were
off in a moment, followed by the girl and the
woman. She instantly turned to Mr. Elliot:
"I'll get him to go to-morrow, and see you
anywhere out of this, and he'll maybe come
to his lenses."
Fernie Lea was too far off, and Mr. Elliot
appointed a friend's house in the town,
though with little hope of seeing the man
again.
"Now," said Sue, speaking fast and low,
"say a word to the child there, and, to me,
too. Who was it that Ben's mother saw. and
I couldn't, though I strained my eyes ?—who
was Jesus, that was near her, and why did
she keep saying, and saying, 'l'm a great
sinner, but he's a great Saviour ?--tell, tell,"
repeated she impatiently.
Thus urged, Mr. Elliott answered her ques-
tion ' with something in his words and manner
of the simplicity.of a little child. He had
never felt the doctrines of his faith so clear
and beautiful, so suited to be what they pro
fess, words of comfort "to them that are lost."
The woman's hollow eyes fixed - on him, with
an eagerness that would turn to despair if no
word of his brought hope to her , soul. The
unnaturally bright preeociouslook of the, dy
ing child, turning away from his face to the
blue distant. ski, and the wondering gaze: of
little Ben, made him feel that he was called
to speak a watilin season to,those for whose
souls no man had cared. If any: doubts had
ever mingled with his
-pride of intellect, they
had vanished now. Here were the sick—
blessed be God, there was an infallible Phy
sician ; 'here were the sheep, lost and strayed,
and fallen among snares and wolves, but
there was them also a Good Shepherd and
a happy fold.
"Listen," said he, " God, the great God
that made us, was very grieved because men
ad sinned and become altogether hateful;
but He had .an only and well-beloved Son,
Jesus Christ the ilighteous. And of his own
will the Son came down from heaven, and
lived thirty yearion earth as a poor car
penter, mocked and hated, and at last he died
a cruel death on the cross ; but he said, 'Be
lieve on me and ye shall be saved and live.'
Then He rose again after that death, and now
He lives in heaven forever; and so it is,
since that day, that whoever believes that
the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all
sin is saved from his guilt and misery, and
though he be dead, he shall live with God
forever.
There was a pause; little Moll smiled a
smile of peculiar and intelligent beauty, and
again she murmured, soft and low, her old
burden: •
" I lay my sins on Jeans,
The spotless lamb-of God.T'
The woman's head was bowed low, low,
but no voice came. Little Ben started for
ward with clasped hands, and said : " Mam
my, mammy, is she alive—has she got away
from the black box and the ugly black men—
() inammy where is she ?" and the child's
tears fell fast and warm with his longing to
see the old . fantilier face and form, as dear to
hini as to the sons of bedecked and . jewelled
mothers, nay dearer, because it was a. menio
ry of the only tenderneas he had ever known.
Mr. Eliot put, his arm round the little fellow,
and told him that he must. wait till his time
came to die. No,- he musk not, kill himself
now, that would make God angry: but if he
loved Jesus and believ'ed on him, he would
then go to live with the bright angel-mother,
in the blessed, angel-borne, which the. Lord
Jesus had bought for mother and child by
his own precious blood; and the boy's sobs
were hushed, and he longed and resolved to
know,x and to love that kind and loving Savi-,
our, and to be with him forever. ' ‘ i- But: it
isn't for me, it isn'tfer-me,"_ murmured poor
Sue, with her Tagged apron: tlirciwn tight
over-herAead. "Ren's mother was never
so bad as .me, and these children are inno
cents, bless them!.'but I : tell you that if
you've a wife or a sister, or a daughter, she
should shrink the sight of me; and - I've
stolen, and I'Xe been drunken, and I've had
no• pity on they child that was born to me ;
aiTd Pve kriowti of larder and Aida% tel Lit ;
and woe is me, wouis me I"
- "Listen" "Said Mr. Elliot again, "I will
tell you a-story.
• There was once a woman
who had beeii as "great a sinner as you, and
when Jest's Christ was alive on earth, she
came behind him; she did-not dare tospeak
to him onto appear in his sight, because she
hated herself for being a sinner, only' she
washed•his feet with her tiars.of penitence,
and she wiped-them with - her - 116r ; and the
Saviour turned round and :said, in lovitig
tones: ' Thy sins are forgiven, thy faith
hath saied-thee, -go -fit-Tette:3.l" -
Something of a happier smile-and gentler
look came across, the poor woman's agonized
face, but' she started up a moment after, say
ing " You'd best go now. They aren't safe
to deal with in a- rage. I'll not forget, God
bless you, _sir.! " and she hurried hiin away.
The court :was : almost; deserted, but he
heard the minds of drunken fighting,,apd
rioting which had caught Sue's quick car,
come surging from the,,next still more miser
able alley.—The Hotheileee Boy.
THE SOLDIER'S TRUST.
IN the present War, the rebels made an
attack upon one - of our regiments doing'picket
duty on the Maryland side of the. Potomac.
There were three houses standing upon the
Virginia shore which afforded shelter to the
enemy, and it became necessary to have them
removed. The colonel tried the effect of
shelling them ; but owing to the short range
of his guns and the great distance, could not
demolish them. The only thing accomplish
ed by this was driving the enemy out of them
to the shelter of the woods beyond.
The colonel then asked for volunteers to
cross the river and burn the buildings. Only
two men came forward, one a private, the
.. • t
gkiz-,etit-a-n 'Vrter.i i iittt-tii . lit ititiVll'''t.itt4f.':E":4ttitt:ttiiii:
other an orderly sergeant. The colonal gave
the command to the sergeant, and told him
to select as many men as he needed, and go.
Selecting three men from his own company
to manage the boat and assist him, the brave
fellows departed on their perilous mission.
Ere they reached the middle of the stream,
. they were greeted with a shower of bullets ;
volley followed volley, each passing over
their heads without touching a man. As
they neared the shore, the house immediately
in front of them, which was a large brick
one, offered them shelter for landing ; and it
was not many,minutes after, ere the smoke
issuing from the roof showed their work was
accomplished there. The next house was
soon in flames also; but the third stood some
distance from the river : to get to it, they
must cross a ploughed field directly under
fire of the musketry. Here, as in crossing
the river,
they were made the target for the
enemy's bullets. Strange to say, this " for
lorn hope" returned uninjured, and were re
ceived with enthusiastic cheers from, their
brave comrades.
The young sergeant, upon being compli
mented upon his courage, and interrogated
as to the source of it. replied, "It is not in
me ; give God the glory. When I started,
I committed my beloved wife and child to his
fatherly care, should I never return. I
breathed a prayer for myself and the little
band with me. I went further; I entreated
that we might all return in safety; and as,l
stepped from that boat, these words of the
ninety-first Psalm came forcibly , to my mind :
'-A thousand, shall fall at thy side, and ten
thousand at thy right hand ; but it shall not
come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt
thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is
my refuge, even the Most High, thy habita
tion; there shall no evil befall thee, neither
shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.'
I received it as an answer;to my prayer.; and
though we could hear the bullets whizzing
by almost touching us, I felt no more fear of
them thanaf they bad been hailstonea."
My dear soldier, what is the source of
your courage ? Is Jesus your strong tower,
your refuge in the da - y of battle, as well as
amid the storms of life ? Is he your - fortress,
Aul'lshield, your defence'? If not, haste to
make him such to you. True, without him
you may go to the cannon's mouth, you may
rush to the thickest of the fight without fear ;
you may have no fear, because at the moment
you do not think of your danger, 6r -that'
" after death douteth the judgment ; "
. If Jesus is your friend, the battle-field
may be to you-the very gate of heaven ; the ,
bullet which pierces your heark-will be but
the friemilyr messenger to call you home ; and
such a home ! The earthly mansion dwin
dles to a miserable hovel as we contem
plate the glories of that mansion where Christ
has gone to prepare a place for you—yes,
for you if you love him.
If Jesus is not your friend, if you do not
love him, the deadly missile would be your
death-warrant, both of soul and body. The
death of the soul I The unutterable woe of
the lost soul !
Would you stand befor,e the face of the
Judge of all the earth with the mighty weight
of all your sins, upon you? Would you rush
into his presence Without a Mediator ? If
not, come to the fountain opened in Christ
Jesus, and wash in his blood. Take Jesus
for your Advocate-and Redeemer. lie stands
ready to receive you. He will -
away empty. ' Only believe on him- - -believe
that he died for you. - Take him at his word:
"Though your sins be as scarlet, 'they shall
be as white as snow." Let the - language of
your heart be,
Just as ; .I am, without one plea,,

And that thou bidst•me come to thee,

ANECDOTES OF BLOOD-LETTINO.
From "A Book about Doctors."

LORD CitEsTERFIELD, wantina. -an Addi

of Peers, called on Lord Radnor, and after a
little introductory "conversation, complained
of a, distressing headache.
Younught to,lose your blood then,', said
Lord Radnor.
"Do. you indeed think so ? Then, my
dear lord; lo add to-the: service of your ad
vice by performing the operation. . I know
you are a NIL' skillful surgeon." -
Delighted at the Compliment, Lord Radnor,
in a_ trice pulled out his lancet-case, and
opened a vein in his friend's arm.
"By-the-by," asked the patient, as < his
aim Was being-adroitly bound up, " do you
go down' PP to, the House to-day?"
I had not intended going;" answered the
noble operator, "not being sufficiently in
formed on the question which is to be debated;
but yon, that have considered it, which side
Will you vote 0n.?." .
In reply, Lord Chesterfield unfolded his
view of the case; and Lord Radnor was so
delighted -with the reasoning of ,the -man
(who had ,held his surgical :powers 'in such
high estimation),' that 'he forthwith promised
to support the wily earl's side in the divi
" I have shed My blood for the good of My
country," said Lord Chesterfield that even s
ing, to a party of friends, who, on hearing
the story, were convulsed with laughter.
BLoRweEnwm - ention has been ,made of a
thousand:pounds ordered to be paid Sir Ed
mond King, for promptly bleeding Charles
the Second. A nobler fee was gtveh :by a
French-lady to a surgeon, who used his lan
-cet so_ clumsily that he cut an-artery instead
of a vein, in consequence of which the lady
died. On ;her death=bed she, rWith- 'charming
humanity and: irony, made a will,, bequeath
, ing the operator-a life-annuity of eight him
' died livres, ,on condition "that he never
again bled anybody so long as he lived." In
the Journal Rneyelopedique of January 15, ,
1778, a similar story is told of a Polish prin
cess, *lO lost her life in the,same way. In
tier-will, made in extranis, there was the fol
loWing- clause :—".Convinced of the injury
that my unfortunate accident will occasion to
the unhappy surgeon who is the „cause Of my
death, I bequeath to him a life annuity of
two hundred ducatsi secured" by myestate,
and forgive his mistake from the heart : I
wish this may indemnify him for, the discre
dit, which my sorrowful catastrophe will king
upon hiui."
MoNsmun, brother of Louis ".XIV., had an
insuperable aversion to the operation, howev
er dexterous might be the operator. At
Manly, while at table with the King, he-was
visited with such ominous symptoms, that
Fochon, - the first :physicianof the court, - Said
—" You are threatened with apoplexy, and
you cannot be too soon blooded."
But the advice was not acted on, though
the King entreated that it might ,be oompli
ed with.
"You will find," said Louis, "what your
obstinacy will cost you, We shall be awoke
some, of these nights to be told that you are
dead."
The royal prediction, though not fulfilled
to the letter, soen : proved substantially true.
After a gay slipper at St: Clond, Monsieur,
just as he was,abont-to retire to bed, quitted
the world. He was asking M. de Ventadour
for a glass of a liquor sent him by'the Duke
of Savoy, when liediopped down dead. Any
how Monsieur went out of this life thinking
of something nice. The r Marqnis of Hertford,
with all his deliberation, could not,do more.
A FAMOUg French Marechal reproved the
clumsiness of a phlebotomist in a less grati
fying manner. Drawing himself away from
the bungling operator, just as the incision
was about to be made,
he displayed an un
willingness to put himself further in the power
of a practitioner, who, in affixing the filltt,
had given him a blow with the, elbow in the
face.
"My lord," said the surgeon; "it seems
that you are afrai of bleeding."
"No," returned the Marechal, " not of
bleeding—but the bleeder.'
