"' s rif front' 'cif little Willie Omar's house ) there grows a very beautiful honey-suckle vine. •E Its, veen. tendrils twine around the iron railings, and all through ;the bright June dam .the air is filled with the perfume of its elustering flowers. Hundreds of them, laugh from their hiding places, among, the gteentleaves, or hold up their bell-like cups, -to the kiss of the honey-seeking bee. Besides this vine, thetaie f also A beautiful Prairie Rose, which mingles its rich bloom, vtith :that 'of the honey-suckle. Children ilwayipOVe-to be among ' flowers so Bella and'Nellie, and Johnnie and Herbert, used to play jack-stones upon the steps right be side the vine, or sit and chat together ' while its,¢green branches touched their little heads. But there came sounds of trouble after awhile, from the honey-suckle neighborhood. One little child after' another would run in, crying, I've been stung., 4 bee stun' g frty eye,'or hand. it became dan l erous to l o near the vine it, from a safe distance, as people gaze upon curiosities at an exhibition where the more costly:articles, are labelled, " bands off." Still cries of distress came every now and then,frotcthe i.eirtey-suckle vine. One day, a gentleman thought it best, to investigate the inatter. So he cautiously put aside the leaves here and there, and lo 1: beneath the masses of foliage and flowers, a hornets' nest. nem *aS the - cause of all the trouble. Who would have thought that so beautiful a bow er, could hide, creatures, with such poison ous stings ? Ah I.little friends it is too often so. When oval:yet see rosy lips, all puckered up in a pout, when you see a fair little forehead, wrinkled and disturbed by a frown, think—:- thoielk a hornet's nest, somewhere in that it'64,liyoclcle t .4r.

Why have se many thousands already vr,heir lives a sacrifice ? Dear children wehave been nursing and guarding slavery, a , lavile hornets' nest, among the honey-suckles. And now true to their nature. the 'horiifits have stung us, .and if ever the deep wounds heal,- the scars will remain, to remind the people of their folly. M. E. M. .—Banner of the,Coperl%a f . , :;1` 'fist 6' Miolariti):, TIEN mother's work is never done, unless t God-takes it from her by-a- special proVi dence, her 'children are old enough to stand and act: for *themselves 'ori-theo stage of mature ` Front the birth of her oldest to the, maturity of the youngest, she must work, Work, work, watch, watch,.watch, by day and by night, week in and week out, for months and years, following each other in long. infeeelisidn.`' We apeak not :here of material work; of. the labor of the. hands to supply the wants of the,physizal nature ; the answering of, " What shall we eat, and what chall•we drink, and wherewithal shall we be clothed ?" Money can .aecomplish all this, if we have it,; and : if not, we will not sigh, nor *at, nor covet ; for the heart-work, the "solicitude of a good mother for a virtuous and honorable character in her children, walks forth with a bolder, steadier step by ' the side of frugality and daily labor, than it JO apt to do if separated from them. It is a well-known factthat almost all the true greatness, the noble virtues, the'leroism vhich the world has seen, have arisen from the lap of obscurity, poverty, and toil. But the work to which we now refer is, that which `revery mother, whether rich or poor, what over the advantages or disadvantages of her Circumstances may be, is required by the most awed and rigid obligations to achieve— the assiduous cultivation of the inner nature, of that which makes the true man or woman, that which shall live for ever and ever. For thiq she must be always at her post, with never so much as a recess from her maternal care.and solicitude, toiling on, breaking up the ground, sowing the seed, training the • tender plant,, enriching the soil, watering, ,nourishing, stimulating every good and plea sant growth, until the flowers begin to bloom, and the fruit to ripen... Then there comes a heyday of enjoyment, of rest and comfort to the mother, in the golden autumn of her life, when, surrounded by a group 6f affectionate, dutiful, virtuous, and noble sons and daugh ters, she sits among them in.beautiful re pose, her face radiant in the glew of her own heart's ever-burning love, and the smile of Heaven as a halo of light,about her head— a spectacle to: be admired and envied of all., But this season of comfort, this " Indian summer" of Maternal life, never, never comes to those who evade their responsibilities, for sake their trust, and leave their work for others to do,, for the sake of personal ease, sensuous indulgenee, or selfish gratification. The very thing they seek, they lose by a la mentable and hopeleis mistake, verifying the words of our Lord,'" Whosoever will save his life shall lose* but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it." —Hrs. Stowe. • YOU NEVER CAN RUB IT OUT. One pleasant afternoon a lady was sitting with her son, a liutle white-haired boy of five years. The mother was sick, and the little fellow left his play to stay with'her.. He was amusing himself •by printing his name with a pencil on piper. Suddenly the busy hands stopped. He made a mistake, and,.wetting Ins finger, tried to rub it out, as he had been accustomed to do on his slate. In vain did. he try again and again to rub it out. His mother seized this opportunity to teach him a lesson. The little fellow, though so young, had a very bad 'temper, and would often give way to violent fits of passion. His mother said, "My son, do.you know that God writes all you do in a book ?' He writes every naughty word, every disobedie.nt act, every time you indulge in bkd temper, and shake your shoulders or pout your lips ; and, my child, you cam never rub , it out !" The little boy's face grew very red, and in a moment tears began to run down his cheeks. His mother watched him earnestly, but said nothing more. • At length he came softly to her side, threw his arms around her neck, and whispered, " Can the- blood .of Jesus ru'a it out ?"• She told him the bloOd of Jesus could rub out the evil he, had done, and it is the only thing in the universe that can do it... Dear children, will you not; go to the blood of Christ to hate your sins rubbed out'?:for the blood of Christ cleanseth from all outh's Evangelist. - • M. .-M "IS RI MOTHER A CHRISTIAN 7" "I WONDER if my mother is a Christian." So said a young lady to herself, *hen she had been awakened to realize the valve of her soul. " My mother is a professor of religion ; why does she not anxiously warn me to flee from the wrath to come ? If she has any sense of my danger . while in impenitence, why _does she not, as it were, lay hold. of me, as did the angels of Lot, when he was fleeing from'Sodom ? "I know she has the tenderest affection for me,' and the deepest interest in my world ly prosperity—she never hesitates to speak to me of these things ; and, if she, is a real Christian, why does she not beg of me to em brace the• Saviour ? I feel anxious for •my mother. She always taught me to be goOd, and to do nothing wicked ; but she neverm4do ner in the sight of God. I now believe it is true. I wish I knew if my mother has any clear views of sin, and of what a sinner must do to be saved. But I cannot, dare not speak to her on this subject. How _unaccountably strange, when it is the subject which, of all others, most deeply concerns us both!" Christian parent, do your children ever .thus reason concerning you ?-Roston Re corder. Loiciellattollo. BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOH,COHETIL Ministers may here learn a lesson to im prove their efficiency, and to teach them what power to away the conciences of men they lose by not preaching the certain and near coming of, the Great Master. Did:they, but realize it in-their own hearts, it would im part a brightness and energy to their testi mony which cannot otherwise exist, and,give them an advantage in their work which, they can by no other means possess. It was with this one truth that John the BaPtiat electri fied all Jerusalem and Judea, and drewforth their multitudes to the baptism of repen tance. (Luke iii, 2 ; Matt. iii. 5.) It was also the subject of F. t noch's discourses. (Jude. 14, 15.) And the greatest' and most effec tive preachers thatfiave . ever lived are those who dweltlargelyupon the theme of the near advent whowas delivered for our offences and raised again, for our justifi cation." And if Christians generally would be fully awake to their , estate and to the work of making ready to meet their Lord, let -them bring themselves near to his com ing, and bring that.coming near to them, as a thing ready to'occur arid- impending over them every day. This will rouse them; if any thing will, and impart a sincerity and earnestness to their endeavors which will paralyze temptation and contribute: a thou sandfold to insure their salvation. And" what if this way of dealing with this subject has been Seized upon by Unworthy hands and. piostituted , to unholy , uses I What if it has been cifien the handle of fanatics, schismatics ' and lawless separatists from the Church :and from the state'? What if men un called of God„ and under _no rightful mole.. siastical responSibilities, have made it a hob by to bring themselves into notice, and taken it as an instrument of gaining adherents to their foolish isms and of casting disrespect upon men'much wiser and, better than them selves Are we to relinquish every thing which some in their haste may abuse ? Are we to allow fanatics and errorists to dictate and control our teaching by retiring from whatever they touch ? Shall we.permit them to monopolize one of the great themes of pro phets and apostles, because they have chosen to associate it with their weaknesses, errors, and ()fences against order and law ? " At that rate, we would soon have Christianity itself wrested from,us, and all the sublime peculiarities of our aith transmuted in erra tic dreams. Truth is truth, however sur rounded, wrested, or misired. And - we do injury to ourselves, and are unfaitlifid to the God of truth, not to cling to it in all its length and breadth, _notwithstanding that it may perchance have been upon the lips of the most disreputable of men and confessed in the dens of sbnstialists and traitors. The very devils believe ,there is a God: are we, then, to turn atheists lest we should be rated in affinity with devils? No more are we to give up the right use of the Towerful ddc trine of the nearness of Christ to judge the world'and reward his saints because it has ainiti.0...irt... 7 P.,,(0t.....ii...a*. 411,d.'.0,t0.t.t-_-:,...vii...0.:#*.'-,1...i';';'0., been the theme of fanatical dreamers and ill balanced people. It has more than once aroused nations ; and the Church itself shall only, become rightly awake when once its members hear, believe, and heed the cry, " Behold, the Bridegroom cometh ; go ye out to meet him."--Dr. Seiss THE AFRICAN CHAUCTER. THE African character has its own marked and distinctive peculiarities. It is tropical. It has passion deep and pervasive, slumber ing within a rounded form and in- deep dreamy eyes. It is ductile and plastic, ready to receive impressions and to be shapen by them. It does not poisess the hard, ag gressive features of the character of the tribes of Northern Europe ; it does not seek by conquest to extend its power, or to mould other, people to its form. It is adapted to receive rather than to give. It therefore essentially imitative. From this comes the rapidity with which under favorable influ ences, the African advances in civilization. Wherever these influences are numerous and powerful enough to be the most prominent, the negro yield's to" them with marvelous ra pidity. • There is; perhaps, no' race that gives up so readily and fully old habits and associations. We find no granite formations of character underlying the race, such as are'met with in the tribes and peoples of Asia. Compare, for instance, the plastic mobility of the Pangwee Bakwain with the rigidity of the Hindu or Chinese. Or where the case may be seen in even a more striking Way, ; compare the Afri can negro with the American Indian; take the one from his tropical wild, the other from his forest home, and place : ,then.both;i der the same civilizing influence's, and where it the end of a fixed:period will you find , theml In a single generation the one •is nearly at your side, the other is simply, a saVage still. The rapid rise of the - negro race in the 'West India '"lslands, Jamaica, for example, *hen made free by the BritiSh. Government, is a very striking illustration, though the time has been too short to bring it out to the full. Taking all the facts as they are given us, we find the people rising almost at: once, (for thirty years are usually as nothing in the life of a people), out of the barbarism,of slavery, into a nation self-supporting, self governing to a ccinsiderable extent, moral` and religious, hot, indeed, in the highesfde gree, but still wonderfully advanced.* We believe that it is without a parallel. Together with this plastic docility, the Af -rican has another which at first sight seems in flagrant contradiction ,•=thee race has a peculiar power of resistance and permanence. It ds said, probably truthfully,:that no race has ever been ,able to abide a close contact with the Anglo-Saxon. One of two results have always followed ;—either it has been swallowed up' and lost as` a river in an ocean, or it has gone down and been swept away. But this race has neither been ab sorbed nor destroyed. It, has grown under the most adverse, influences, and asserts it self in all its peculiar Characteristics under foreign skies, and after the lapse of two cen turies.. • The negro of America is a true Af rican still. This race his not greatly mingled with other, races; It is, we, are inclined to jpelieve, ph atac t er i s tin of it_naLto amalgamation with another people, its ten dency is to remain Spart. We' are well aware, indeeed, that this is exactly contrary to the views of many who have built their opinions on popular 4sseitionS and prejudice rather than on observed facts. The as sumption is that the negro desires to mingle his blood with. that of the white races. The reverse is the fact. There is, though it may seem to some unaccountable, a certain pride of race, which leads the negro to exult in the purity of his blood, and to regard a for eign element in it as not only not desirable, ;but even. objectionable. This , feeling does not belong simply to the negro on his own continent ; it perpetuates, perhaps magnifies itselt when surrounded by another people. Imeng them in this country U,+' pura3l - hoded negro will, with biting sarcasm, taunt the mulatto with the fact that the blood of another ; race is in his veins. This"feeling, which must have beenrioticed by any :one whose observation has been ex tensiveor , intelligentenough to collect: the faar'l,leadg the:race to reinain i biltself; and. when left, to its natural course, such is the. result. The statistics of thia country show that the free black does not and cannot min gle with the white race. No elevation of freedom' can produce such an intermixture. Here and there, but so seldom as to present but perhaps a single cascly in widely separated, communities; trete is an inter marriage. This seeming-Want of inclination, ,couple with a natural and insuperable re pugnance on the part of the white, must ev .er keep the ; two races apart when they stand on an equal footing of freedoin.—PresbOe rim "Quarterly anew. *See SevrelPs " West Indies or, the Ordeal ofFree •Labor blithe British West India Islanda,":an evident -li:,dispassionate and disinterested view of the condi :bon of these islands.
