Do you know how we used to come from sehad, Through'the summer's pleasant heat;. With the yellow fennel's golden dust On our tired little feet ? And how sometimes in an idnihnood We loitered by the way.; And stopped in the woods to gather flowers, And in the fields to play : Till warned by the (kerning shadow's fall, That told of the coming night, We climbed to the top of the last, long hill, And saw one borne in sight? And brothers and sisters, older now Than she whose life is o'er, Do you think of the mother's , loving face That looked from the open door ? Alas I for the changing things of time ; That home in the dust is low ; And that loving smile was hid from us, In the darkness, long ago I And we have come to life's last Bill, From which our weary eyes , Cat almost look on that home that shines sternal in the skies. So; brothers and sisters, as we go, Still let us move as one, Always.together keeping . step, Till the march of life `is done ; For that mother, who waited - for .us here, Wearing a smile so , sweet, Now ,waits on the hills of Paradise -For her children's coming feet 1 • ()ARLETA. "If I could have' your. faith, Hawkins,. gladly would I; but I was bornA skeptic. I cannot help my doubts more than I can the results they lead to. I cannot. look upon God and the future as you do; with my tem ?crap:tett, and the peculiar bias of roymind, it is utterly impossible." • So said John Harvey, as he walked with a friend under a dripping umbrella ; for the night was stormy and very dark, though the brilliancy of the shop lamp made a broad path of light, along the wet sidewalk. John Harvey was a skeptic of thirty years' stand ing, and apparently hardened in his, unbelief. Every body had given him up as unconvert ible. Reasoning ever so fairly and calmly, made no impression on the rocky soil of his heart. 'Theologians disliked the sight of his massive face and humble Christians sighed as he passedthem. A mail:with' such capa cities, they said—with such generous impul ses,. (for everybody knew how kind he was,) with an intellect so enriched, and powers of the keenest metal—and yet no God, no hope of the future—walking with the lamp at his feet, unenlightened ! Alas, it, was sad, very sad. Butone friend had.never given'him up. When spoken to about I will' talk 'with and praY for.that man :until I die," he said ; "and I will have faith that he may yet come out of darknesif into the marVelon.O. light. And, oh, how wonderful that light will seem to him, shut 'up so long!"` , And Wu, Whenever he 'Act him, (John Harverwas always ready for " a talk,") Mr. Hawkins pressed hoine the truth upon him. In answer, on that stormy . night, he only said, " can change a skeptic, John ; he has more power over your heart than you have, and I mean to pray for you." 4 4 Oh, rve no objection, none in the world ; seeing is believing, you know. I'm ready for. any mddern miracle, but I tell you it would take nothing short of a miracle to convince me.` 'However, let's change the subject.. I'm hungry, and it's too far to go up Mown to supper this stormy night. Whew . 1 . -how the wind blows! Here's a restaurant; let us stop here."" How How warm, and pleasant it looked in the long : brilliant, dining saloon. Clusters of gas jets streamed over the glitter and color of pictures and gorgeous carpets, and the rows of marble tables reflected back the lights a well as' the great mirrors. • The two merchants had eaten, and were just on the point of rifting, when a strain of soft music came through an open door—a child's sweet voice. "Upon my word that is pretty," said John Harvey; what marvelous purity in those tones!" 44 Out of here, you little baggage," cried a hoarse voice, an one of the waiters pointed angrily to the door. "Let her -come. .osikJohn Harvey, springing to his feet. "We don't allow them in this place, sir," said the waiter, " hit she can go into the reading room." " Well, -let her go somewhere, for.l want to hear her," responded. the gentleman. All this time the two had seen the shadow' of a something hovering back and forward on the edge of the door ; now they followed a slight little figure, wrapped in a patched! , cloak, patched hood, and leaving the mark Of wet feet as she walked. Curious to see hor face—she was very small—John Harvey lured her to the furthest part of the great room, where there - WOO but few gentlemen, and then motioned her to sing. The little one looked timidly up. Her cheek was of olive darkness, but a flush rested there ; and out of the thinnest faie, under the arch of broad temples, deepened by masses of the blackest hair, looked two eyes, whose soft ness and tender pleading would have touched the hardest heart. " That little thing is sick, I think," said John Harvey, compasiionately. " What do you sing, child?" he added. " I sing you Italian or English," she said softly. John Harvey had been looking at her shoes. "Why," he exclaimed, and his lip quivered, "her feet are wet to her ankles, absolutely ; her shoes are full of holes." By this time the child had begun to sing, pushing back her hood and folding before her her little thin fingers. Her voice was won derful ; and simple and common as were both air and words, the power and pathos of the tones drew together several of the habitues of the reading room. The little song com menced thus : "There is a happy land, Far, far away." Never could the voice, the Manner, of that child be forgotten. There almost seemed a halo round her head, and when she had fin ished her great speaking eyes turned toward John gamy. took here, child, *lore did - you kern ?" he asked. " In Sabbath Selma, sirl' was the simple answer. " And you don't suppose there is a happy land ?" he continued, heedless of the many eyes upon him. " I know there is ; I'm going to sing there," she said, so quietly, so deoidedly, that men looked at each other. " Going to sing there ?" "Yes, sir; my mother said so. She used to sing to me until she was sick; then she said she wasn't going to sing any more on. earth, but up in heaven. _ " Well, and what then?" ".And then she died, sir," said the child, tears briming up and over on the dark cheek, now ominously flushed scarlet. Jelin Harvey was silent for a few moments. Presently he said'::. Well, if she died, my little girl, you may live, you know." " Oh, no, sir ! no, sir ! [very quickly.] I'd rather go there, and be with mother. Some- times I have a dreadful pain in my side, and cough as she did. There won't be.any pain up there, sir; it's a beautiful world'! " How do you know ?" faltered on the lips of the skeptic. - " My mother 'told me so." Words how impressive I manner how child like, and 'yet how wise'! John 41,s,rverhad had a praying:' mother. His chest labOred for a moment—the sobs that struggled for utterance could be ,heard even in their deeps —and still those large, soft, listrous eyes, like magnets, impelled his glance towards them. ".Child, you must have a pair of shoes.", John Harvey's voice *as husky.. Simultaneously hands were thrust in pock ets, purses pulled out, and the astonished child held in her little palm more money than she had ever seen before. " Her father is a poor, consumptive organ grinder," whispered one. "I suppose he is too sic to be out to-night." Along the sloppy street went the child, under the protection of John -Harvey, but not with sh6es tha.t drank the water at every step. Warmth and comfort were hers,now. Down in the deep, den-like lanes of the city walked the man, a little cold, child-hand in his. At an open broken door, they stopped—= up broken, creaking stairs, they climbed. At last another doorway opened; a wheezing voice called, out of the dim arch, "Carlet4,'' " 0, father, father? see w7tat Ihayebiought you! Look at me, look at me V' and down went the hoarded silver, and, venting her ex cessive joy, the child fell, crying and laugh ing together, into the man's arms. 'Was he a man? A face dark and' hollow, all overgrown with hair, black as night, and uncombed—a pair of wild eyes—a body bold nearly double - - hands like claws. "Did he give you all this Carlettal" " They all did, father now you shall have soup and oranges." , " Thank you, sir. I'm sick, you see—all gone, sir—had. to send the poor .child out, or we'd starve, sir. Good bless you sir ! t wish I was well enough to play you a tune,;" and he looked wistfully towards the corner Where stood the -old organ, 'baize covered— the baize in tatters. It's no matter," said John 4,am:ex, ;with didiculty "11l come and'ace you some other time ;" and he groped his way down stairs. One month after that the two men met again, as if by agreement, and walkodislowly down town. Threading innumerable passa ges, they came to the gloomy;building . ; where lived Carletta's father. No—not lived' there, for as they paused a moment, out came two or three men bearing a pine coffin. In' the coffin, the top . nailed down, so that no mourner might open, pro vided there had been any such, slept tke old organ . grinder. "It was very sudden, sir," said a womalt, who recognised his benefactor. " Yesterday the little girl was took sick, and it seems as if he dropped right away. He died at six last night." The two men went silently up stairs. The room was empty of everything save a bed, a chair, and a nurse provided by John Harvey. The child lay there, not white, but pale as marble, with a strange polish on her brow. Oh, bow those dark eyes on the instant be came.eloquent, as John Harvey sat on the side of the bed " Well, my little one, so you are no bet- " Oh, no, sir ! Father has gone up there, and I'm going." tip, there! John Harvey, turned uncon sciously towards his friend. " I wish I could sing,for you," she said, and her little hands flew together. " Do yoi wish to sing ?" ~C. 4 Oh, so much! but it hurts me. It won't hurt me up there, will it ?r'. - Where was the child looking, that there seemed such wonder in her, eyes,?, "Did you ever hear of Jesus ?" asked John Harvey's friend. Oh, yes." - • "Ito you know who he Nes?? , " Good iksus," murmured the child, with, a =rare stuziNf, "Haiikins, this breitis me doyen," said. John Harvey;. and placed his' handkerchief to ' •his eyes. , " Don't cry don't cry'; Inan't, i ery, I'm so glad !" said the child, exultingly.; and .she looked up, as-if heaven's light were already dawning on her. . ' - " What are you glad for, my dear . 1 ,, asked John Harvey% friend. . " To get away frourhere," she said delibe rately. "I used to be so cold in thelong winters, for we' didn't have fires sometimes; but mother used to hug me close, and sing about heaven. But I did have to go out,he cause they were sick, and people looked. cross at me, and Old me . I was in the, way ; but some were Wild' to me. Mother told me never to miiid, - when I came home crying, and kissed tile, and said if I was his, the Sa viour would love me, and one of these days would give me a better home ; and so I gave myself to him, for I wanted a better home. And, oh, I shall sing there and be so happy! Christ sent a little angel in my dream— , mother told me he would; and that angels would carry me up there. ; Oh, :I• feel 8 sleepy!" With a little sigh she closed her eyes. Harvey, are faith said hope nothing_'t.t!'z asked Mr. Hawkins, pointing to the little face, taking on such strange beauty as death breathed thus icily over it. "Don't speak to me Hawkins; to be as that little child I would give all I am worth," was the broken response. " And to bedikeler you need give noth- ing—only your stubborn will, your skeptical. doubts, and the heart that will never know rest till it find it at the feet of Christ. 0, my friend, resolve, .by the side of this little' teifildil - who is soon-tolie-4. 4 .singing4nleaven,' that you will be a follower of my. Saviour. Ai1i..i1y, : 44.4. Let reason bow here, before simple, trusting faith." There was no answer. Quietly they sat there in the deepening, shadows. The hospi tal doctor came in, stood off a little way, and shook - his head. It , needed no close inspec tion to see what was going on. 'Presently the hands move'd, the arms were raised, the eyes opened—yet, glazed though they were, they, turned still upward. "See ! sae !".she cried. " Oh, there is mother ! and there are the angels ! and they are all singing—all singing: Her voice faltered, her arms fell; but the celestial bright ness. lingered yet other face. Feebly she turned to hose who .had ministered to her, feebly smiled—it was a mute return of thanks for all their kindness. " There is no., doubting the soul-triumph there," whispered Mr. Hawkins. "It is :wonderful," replied' John Harvey, looking 'on both with awe and tenderness. "Is she gone ?" He sprang from his chair as if he would detain her ; but the chest and forehead-were-marble now,s the eyes had-lost' the fire of. life • she mist have died as she lay looking .at them. "She was always a sweet little thing," said the nurse softly. John Harvey stood as if spell_ -hO'c There was a touch on_ his arm ; he star and, turned. " John ,r _said This friend, an impressive look, " Shall we praTir a minute there was ,no answer-,--then pa tears ; the whole frame of. the man shL. as he said—it was almost a cry—" Yes, pray, pray !" And from the side of flip dead' child went up agonizing pleadings to the throne of Goa. That prayer was answered —the miracle is wrought--the lion is a lamb —the doubter a believer—the skeptic a Christian. Careless reader, may a little. child lead you!

I said to them, I can hardly live qt, 51, 8 090 per annum, and how shall I live on 7. 00 or $5OO ? They said " Trust God." I finally yielded and have trusted God, ever since. Sometimes my faith has been tried. A year and a half ago, when you sent me unexpectedly $25, which just paid a pressing demand, I saw Jesus' hand in it so plainly that I thought, then, that I woOl,never fear nor distrust again. ,But oh, 161 i -feeble is flesh arid Mead! My son, who is at .college studying for .the ministry, was compelled, during the last term, to do chores for defraying a part 'of his expenses; and he said : "Father, why do I have to chore around for my board, when other boys do not ?" :Parental feeling flushed-to the full. I confess, I remembered the academy, where I made $l,OOO a - year: - :CouldTsay : "Be cause, you are the son of, a Heine mission ary ?' Such questions from my, son, and from three young, daughters. relative to going, to boarding school, -brought me to think very seriously about leaving the field, and seeking an agency:that would pay. had spoken for a situation. But when my draft came, and when news of the box came, I again dismis sed my -fears and said, shall I distrust the Lord now, whom I have trusted for these twenty years ?—Home Missionaiy. 3 , 1 . .1,15 ctillutitatto. RELIGIOUS -PROtiIIESS IN INDIA. Rm . . R. G. WILDER, writing to the Evan gelist, from Kolaßoor, under date of 'March, 1852, gives some incidents' showing how mat ters there vacillate between Christianity and idolatry. Not:long since a Christian officer vindicat ed the rights of some of our native Christians to the use of the public wells and tanks. It was a noteworthy instance of. administering the law to tbe interest of Christianity, and is likely to :prove a valuable::precedent in coming years. These native Christians are of the same faith as Queen Victoria herself, and should be protected in such obvious na tural rights. But" who does not see that a differeUt minded officer would base upon the same proclamation, an argument forthe cause of the Hindus ? ken of creeds are to be protected in their civil and religious rights. The tenets of :the HinWs: faith make , the touch of theie hated apostates' pollution. If then, you allew'them to get water from the public wells, , you inflict a severe, blovvs Upon the feelings and rights of the Hindus—rights guarantied to them by immemorial ,usage, and by this very proclamation, thus interpreted. A few days since, a missionary in my pre -Sence,--.--was conversing with a Government officer, who seemed to be not only friendly but quite religiously inclined, suggested . to him, in a very friendly way, that he might good by keeping by him a few. Christian tracts and , books in-the.vernaCulars, and occasion ally giving one to. , the =native people. about him. The idea seemed to please him at first, but in auldinent he seemed to bethink self, and remarked,. "'Oh, but it .would'' be contrary to the •Queen's proclamation, and the strict orders of Government not to inter fere with native , prejudices—l -should not dare to :do,it.", - • Another incident is a recent trial of two persons in the Calcutta criminal court, for uttering certain words against an _idol;-god. The words are -not given, but were doubtless disrespectful to the idol. The. Judge, Sir Moldaunt Wells, condemned both-:the>prison ers accused of this offence--one to two weeks and the . other to 'six weeks' imprisonment. So it comes to, pass, under our present Ad ministration, that a man may blaspheme and' profane the name of the true God with impu nity, but for speaking against a stone idol he is subject to fines and imprisonment. A third- incident. The hold of Hinduism upon the''minds of its votaries has been re-_ la*ing for many years. For twenty years pastit has been found impossible to get the. poor natives' to draw-the.heavy idol-cars, ,at the , &eat festivals` without resorting to force. A recent case occurred, in which a native of ficiar brought - the GOvermnent police tonid in this disgusting work—aananifest violation of the principle of neutrality. The case has been presented to Government, and in notic ing,the complaint, the. Government ".consider. that the "taken:, of the matter doubtless have a ,good effects and that no spe xial orders from them,Are for. 7 Thus though the power and prestige of the , Government are subsidized to support and ; perpetuate idolatry, it will'not interdict' this practice. Well does the Friend of India remark on'this cape : "Yet when Mr. Oust, Commissioner of Umritsur, attended the baptism of a •Sepoy in a private capacity, he, was called to ac count by the.Gpvernment of India. But he is a Christian, and,religieusveutralityMearkS intolerance to ,Christiapitar.. (A ban upon, our own faith and.support, of idolatry.) In the present mase,the local government shows that they, as off(Oals,` helped to pull an,,idol car, and to compel others to d.o so but 4 no, special orders are called for.'. Gallia cared for none of these. things." - Is it generally, known in America that. Siaticre exists ,in: British. India, ? It need be known only as one_of those evils for the re moval of which ChristiaU men are ever to pray and labor. " ,That slavery does exist, and to a large as well as serious extent,. in' Eastern Bengal, is now iunquestionable."— Such is the utterance of s,.reliabk authority,. who goes on to say : "We know thathumap beings, are bought and sold, frequently by.parents compelled by inconceivable pressure to barter their own flesh and blood. for pelf, but oftener by . pro fessional kidnappers; and;that children growa production. iduce, and t,lier mode doors. NATIONAL DEVELOPEMENT. Look at the tremendois demondtration that has been Made of the military strength of the country, an overwhelining proof of the warlike character of the people I A nation which had given up arms, Nand was devoted to industry, and in a'. year brings out an ar my greater than ever was brought into the field at any time before—an army of five or six hundred thou Sand men• " Did you have any conscription in Ohio . They have conscriptioniin France. Did you have press-gangs in Ohio ? They have in England. Did you whip any' one to compel them'to volunteer ? They use 'the knout in Russia to fill the "ranks. , An army of five hundred thousand voluitecis 'sprung to arms, and.hn army .of Inctdred thousand still behind ready to do the thing. And:this army is doing the work it is designed to - do. Now I do, not speak evil of dignitaries, but I am conscientiously of the opinion that as the Duke of 'Wellington said about his army: " Whenever I get' into a scrape, my soldiers help me out," so it-is with our army. They are heroic, gallant and plucky—arid of such gallant volunte,ers the world never before saw the'like. Carry the idea a -further, to the de rammtration of the boundless capacity of the country, to sustain anmxpensive war,; a coml.- try rich beyond computation. Here we .a,re, in the midst of . expenses, of, it may be, a thousandmillion dollars a year, and the pub lic funds almost at par, the credit of the country fair, and the boundless capacity of this stingy and, mean nation, as it is some times called—a boundless readiness to give money and men . . If there could be a collec tion of the immense amount of 'money contri buted to the cause of benevolence, connect ed withithie - vilacitwdArbi-enoughla—ear ry on "a war in the liana way. People the most elevated and refilled give themselves to the most menial services in behalf of -the sick wolthded and dying Was anything like it ever heard of in, the history of the nations of the world ? Men cry tax us ; here is our money to alleviate the sufferings of the sick; and our best and loveliest women. say, here are our services ; take . them and use them. Is this not an illustratien marvelons in itself, glorious to Christianity and our country, and pointing to the end-to which such a people must come, if they b 4 wisely and bravely directed.—. Dr. Breckinridge. THE MARVELS OF A SEED. IIAvE you ever considered how wonderful, a thing the seed of a plant is ? It is the mi racle of miracle& God said,. " Let there be plants yielding seed ;' And it is further added,' eaeb. one " after his kite - - The great naturalist, Cuvier, thought that the germs of all past, present and future ge-, nerations of seeds were! contained one within the other, as if packed, in, a succession of boxes. Other , learned , men ha,ve explained this mystery in a different way. But what signify, all their explanations:? Let them explain it as they will; :the wonder remains, the same and we must look upon. the repro duction of the seed asacontinual miracle. Is there upon, earth a machine, is there a palace, is there even a city; which contains, so much that is wonderful, as _is enclosed: in, a single., little seed—one grain of - corn , one little brown apple:-seed; OM small seed, of a, tree, picked ,up, perhaps, by a sparrow fo her little ones, the smallest seed of, a poppy, or a blue-bell, or even eneaof the„seeds that are SQ small that they :float about in the air invisible to our eyes ? Ah I there is a world of marvel and brilliant beautieshidden in each of theseAßy ,seeds. „Consider their ha= mensentuberollie , p,._ at separation, of the differentrkinds., tlieirA Crof,life , and resur,. i. rection,. and their Newland. fruitfulness !

But a ligidred.years, afterhiiii; M. de. Candolle, of Geneva, described 40;000 kinds of plants, and he,auPPOSedit possible that the: number might even amount to 100,000. Well, let ,ine ask yot), haVe these 4.00,090 kinds of plants ever failed to bear the right seed ? Have they ever deceived us ? " Has a seed of wheat ever yielded barley, or a seed of a poppy grown up into a sun-flower. ? Has a sycamore-tree ever sprung from an acorn, or a beech-tree from, a chestnut'? A little bird, may, carry away the small seed of a sy-' camore in its heak to feed its nestlings, and on the way may drop it on the grOund. The tiny seed may spring tip _and gro* where it fell; unnoticed,' and sixty years after it may become a magnificent ee, under- which the' flocks, of .thevalleys, -their,shenh eras .may rest inrthe shade.- , Consider next thew kderful. power of life, • and resurrection besto:wed,cnlthe. seeds of plants, so. that they may be preserved from year to year, and even from century to cen tury. . . .

Jouannent relates that in the year 1835, several old Celtic tombs were discover— ed near Bergorac. Under the head of each of the dead bodies there was found a small, square . stone or, brick with a hole in it, cen taming a few seeds, which had been. placed there beside the dead by the heathen friends 'who had burled - them, perhaps 1500 for. 1700 years, before. These, seeds were carefully sowed by thcse who found them ; and what do, you think ~w as, seen to spring up from the dust ,of the, dead ?---beautiful sun-flowers, blue corn-flowers,, and clover, bearing blossoms. as bright, and. sweet as those which are woven into wreaths by the merry children now play ing in _our fields. Some years ago a vase, hermetically sealed, was found in a mummy-pit in Egypt, by the English traveler, Wilkinson, who sent it to the British Museum. The librarian there having unfOitunately brOken it, discovered in it a few grains of wheat and one or two peas, old, wrinkled, .and as hard as stone.. The peas were planted Carefully under glass on the 4th of June, 1844, and at the end- of thirty 'days these old seeds were seen to spring up into' new life. They had' been buried pro bably about 8000 years ago, perhaps in the time of Meses, and had slept all that long time, apparentlY dead, yet still living in the dust'of the tomb.—Gatiasen. ~t she :has re is more: gown • - - Atreirtiotlo too.
