Scarce haat thou tasted earthly joys; I have drank, yet thirst : Nor grief nor sorrows stirs thy heart; Mine is nigh to burst• Friends are thronging round thy path; Mine mostly are in heaven : Love yet is in the bud for thee; Its fruit to me is given. There's light and beauty on thy brow ; Mine, is dull and sear : Health, hope, and courage gird thee now; I'm weary, weary here. Life opens fair and bright to thee, Like the sunny spring; H 6000: seems brighter far to me,. And earth is vanishing. Soon I shall stand where , angels sing, Wad on yonder shore, And fold my spirit's tired wing, Resting evermore. There I will wait for thee, my child, Storing my heart's full love : God kuard'and guide thee safely on, Joining our lives above. —The Mother and Her Work HANNAH BAILEY, AND THE ROOK OF AGES. • ONE summer evening, years ago, a little girl, carrying a large bundle, was slowly walking along the principal street of a vil lage, when the sound of 'music arrested her steps. 'lle sweet tones proceeded from a cottage, which stood at .a little distance from the road, and involuntarily the child drew near to the gate to listen. All around was very calm and quiet ; no passing carriages, no noisy, happy children disturbed the stillness of the moment, and as the music came floating down the lawn, blen ding with the faint rustling of the leaves and the indescribable hum of insect life, it might have attracted an older and more critical person than the ragged, weary-looking child, who had dropped her bundle, and stood peep ing_through the lattice. The tune was simple, but the tones of the piano were rich and full, the voice sweet and clear;;. and though the child could:not distin guish the words, she felt they must be good. "Ain't it pretty t " she said, half-aloud, to herself, after listening attentively for a few moments, and her eyes brightened. - know who it is ; it is the doctor's daughter playing on her piano While ." she spoke, the music ceased. She waited some time, but all remained quiet, and slowly and reluctantly she turned away, and prepared to ;take up her bundle, while the happy look faded from her face. Suddenly she turned, and again spoke aloud. `" I mean," she Said, "to go and ask her to sing something to me," and she harriedly Watched the :ate, and took a few ate • s u • glanced down at her torn dress i a , n , bare eet. auff -- intirofrlizart i Torr" ow,VaTtlla' me, shadowed her countenance ; "but they say Miss Nellie's good-natured," she added, " and I guess I'll go," and she - Walked has tily on to the porch. The hall door was opened, as also was the parlor door, so the child could= look in-and see a young girl sitting before the piano. She was about sixteen, not beautiful, but she had soft, brown hair, a white brow, and Wamile that seemed to fill room with sunshine. She was busily engaged in arrang ing music, and did not at first observe the child, who had not courage- to knock. At last she raised her eyes, and slightly started with surprise, but said kindly: Come in, little girl." ,Bncouraged by her manner, the child en tered the pleasant parlor, and stood amazed at the cemfort and cheerfulness of the room. There 'were bright 'flowers all about, bright .curtains, and a bright carpet that felt soft.to :,her 'feet, but in the midst of. all this bright ness, she remained bewildered and silent, thinking again with regret of her ragged and soiled dreis. 'Thicetthes.young lady asked, • " What do you 'want,. my child ?" Then she answered, "I heard you sining in_the street, gid ,theu m ght, perhaps, you would sing soething for.me. Will. you, please?'' " Yes, certainly," answered the astonish ed young girl, " what would you like ? "I don't know, madam.; you know," said the child. • • But Nellie Grant did not know, , and never, in her life was she so puzzled. to decide what to play. She turned over her ; music in•great perplexity, but could find nothing suited to this forlorn little child So she laid it aside, and striking a few 'chords, began to sing the tune the girl had listened to in the street. The words were those of that sublime hymn, "Book of ages, eleft.for toe, Letme hide myself in thee." Nellie sang the verses with distinctness and, expression, and in listening to her the child forgot the brightness about, and her own dark poverty; the color came to her* pale cheek, and 13h0 ,remained perfectly mo. tionless, with her head slightly bent forward. " Do, you like that hymn ? ' asked Nellie, when She had finished; 44 0 ! very much;" answered the child, and a little sigh came from her full heart. 44 Now,' said Nellie, "will you tell me what your name is, and - where you live ? " "My name is Hannah Bailey," was the answer ; " and I live with father in, a little house by the' bridge.", " And your mother ? " said Nellie, inquir ingly. " Mother died four years ago," replied the. girl, gently. " Who takes care of you ?" asked Nellie. " Have you any brothers or sisters ? " " No,' answered Hannah, " I take care of' myself ; I'm eleven years old." 44 Do you go to church, 'or to Sabbath school ? " " No, warm." " Would you like to go ? " persisted Nel- "I don't know as I should," said the little girl, indifferently. " Hannah," said Nellie, after a pause, " do you like to hear me sing ? " " 0 ! yes, indeed—yes, indeed," was the animated reply. " Well," said Nellie, ".if you, will go to Sabbath.school, I will sing to you every week, if you will come here." "I'll go," Said the Chid, decidedly; and BEE= .1c ... , then her voice dropped, and 'he added, "per haps father won't It me ; he won't unless he's sober; and I haven't got clothes." ' " If your father will,let you," said Nellie, "and you will promise to go, you shall have some clothes." The child looked pleased. Then, as it was getting dark, she hastened home. Nellie watched her as she ran down the walk, and heard her repeating to herself all of those beautiful words that she could remember, "Rock of ages, r o ck for me." Before the next Sabbath, some ladies, in terested by Nellie, NisitecUlannah's home. It was a wretchedhovel, to which heat and cold, storm and sunshine were freely adthitted by the broken doors and windows, and was al most entirely destitute of furniture. No one could doubt that little Hannah had often suffered from cold, and was pinched by hun ger. A reluctant consent was obtained from her father for her to attend church, and clothes were providdd. The next Sabbath the child was at church, and the following Tuesday she came to hear Nellie sing. The summer passed, by, and the mellow autumn came and:went.< Little Hannah had been quite regular in her attendance at the Sabbath-school, never absent unlesi detained 1 'by her father. At first, it was very hard to interest this neglected child in eligious truths ; what she was taught she so quickly forgot ; but as she was really brigh,, before long she began to improve. She never for got to go to hear Nellie sing, and Nellie was always pleasant and ready to gratify i her. In return for her kindness, the child lavished on her all the affection 'of her strong nature. No matter what else Nellie stag to Idease her, each time before leaving, Hannah would say, "Now please sing 'Bock for me.' " ' It is not necessary to pursue the history of Hannah Bailey.

PIETY WITHIN PRISON WAILS. A PRISON is not an inviting place nor is close confinement favorable to cheerfulness and elasticity of spirits. /But the presence of Christ can illumine the darkest dungeon, and transform a jail into a Paradise. Paul and Silas made the walls of ,:their cell at Philippi echo with their cheerful voices; the Admiral Coligny learned in prison the,way to heaven, and Bunyan found the Bedford jail a pulpit from which he could preach to the whole world. • ‘, Some of our Northern soldiers have 4,- hibited a cheerfulness in Southern prisons which no'hardshipS could abate. h the t ' c• I bacco warehouse at. Richmond, where s many hundreds were confined, there was much repining and despondency, but in a few Christian hearts hope was alwaysibuoy-\ ant, and courage never failed. Mr. Ely, in • his journal, refers particularly to one person, Ifriend of "Awful Gardner." He was , con - • • • : great—revi — val of '57-8," and since that time has been an active and ener getic Christian. Many members of churches hide their light under a bushel in the camp,' i but his was always burning in view of his comrades. Many in the prison omitted their devotions ' because there was no place for re tirement from curious or mocking gazers. Tut he never flinched before opposition, or blushed under ridicule. Mr. Ely gives -the following testimony to his daily consistent life: , • "I notice 'him as always cheerful; and in this respect he might be, perhaps, a model to us all. Every morning and'evening witnes ses him as occupying a secluded spot, where alone, he . kneels and pays his heartfelt devo tions. He appears ever contented and happy, seeming to trust confidently in Him who ,-can make even the prisoner's, heart to sing for joy. Upon opening' his Bible every morn ing, it is his habit to say : ' Well, I will see what my-Master says to-day.' " Such cheerfulness in submission to •the Divine will, even in prison, and such fidelity 'in the performance of duty, commend:them selves to general imitation.—Prestyteritin. NOTHING 18 LOST. In is known that in the economy of nature, nothing is;lost. Material objects are subject to changes. The beautiful scene ,passes into decay, and in turn the decay burstaforth. in to beauty. Ever changing, and apparently passing away, yet nothing material has ever been , annihilated. By analogy one may, readily infer the;presence of this same law in the higher realm of the spiritual. We are not however,•left to analogy, but mayftnd itt 7 terestinglints of this law running.through the . entire Scripture& 'Notice , how quickly Jesus recognized t 1 .19 m oral -power of that, simple but beautiful act of the woman whO washed his feet with tears, wiped ihem with-the hairs of her head, kissed. them, and annointed them with ointment. Look. la Jesus as he sits over against the treasury, and see how he notices the humble offering of the poor woman, who gave all she had. How preCious were those two mites to him--farsurpassing the thousands of the self righteous. Think also of the beautiful rec ognition of this idea by Christ, as he says: " Whosoever shall give, to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the.naive of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward." It will be observed that these apparently insignificant acts are all invested with the power of a noble and exalted motive, and, by virtue of this investment, they obtain all their significance, and exert all their influ ence. Thus it is with the common duties of life ;df performed in a right spirit, the influ ence can never be lost, for the insignificant and obscure then become highly significant and prominent in the sight-of God. Moral influence is too precious to perish in such a needy and sin-stricken world as this. See how careful God is of moral power, when he says, in relation to his word, "It shall not re turn unto me void. " We may be incred ulous when told that nothing is lost ; but tho Ugh human knowledge may be baffled in ascertaining the effect of good ,influences we may rest assured that they are under the eye of God.—American Mintionary.

MOHAMMED. • MonAmon's form was stately , and ,com mantling ; and his countenance, irradiated with dark black eyes, was genial and attrac tive. In hig later years he began to stoop, and his gait was compared to that of one rapidly descending'a hill. "If he turned in conversation toward a friend, he turned not partially, but with his full face and whole body., In shaking, hands, he was not,the first to viithdraw his own ; nor was he the first to break off in converse with a stranger, nor to turn away his ear." A patria:rchal simplicity pervaded his life. He aided his wives in their household' duties:; he mended his own clothes ; he tied up the goats. "He lived with his wives in a row of low and homely cottages built of unbaked bricks ; the apartments were separated by walls of palm -branches ! rudely daubed with mud ; curtains of leather, or of black hair-cloth, supplied the place of doors and windows. His abode was. to all easy of access-''even as the river's bank to him that draweth wa ter therefrom:, Yet we have seen,that 'maintained the estate and dignity of real power. No approach .was suffered to famili arity of action or speech. The Prophet must be addressed in, subdued accents, and in a reverential style. .His word was abso lute., His bidding was law." To all around him; he showed great urbanity and kindness of disposition; " more bashful, says Ayesha, "tharia veiled virgin, and'he never smote any One but in the service of ` : the Lord, not even a woman or a servant" A faithful and warm-hearted friend, he was moderate and magnanimous toward his enemies, when once they had submitted to his , sway. But toward those who,obstinately resisted him, h&proved .on many occasions cruel and vindictiVe ; and repeated instances of craftiness and. perfidy stain the course of his wars and negotiation& In the domestic relations his conduct, with one exception was exemplary. Till he was fifty years old he remained' the faithful hus band of one wife ; but having once over stepped the natural limits of restraint, he ad ded one after another to his harem, to the scandal even of his, disciples. Among the `elements of his , religious character.::Mr. Muir notes his constant and , vivid sense. of an all-pervading special providence, united;un the one hand, with a conviction of God's pre destination of all 'things, and on the other with a belief in the efficacy of prayer.,. This sense of God, it is very evident, wasithe source of his power, and "we search vain threugh the pages of profane history for r a parallel to the struggle in which for thirteen years the Prophet of Arabia, in the 'face of discourageMent . and threats, rejection and persecution, retained his faith unwavering, preached repentance, and denounced God's wrath against his godless fellow-Citizens." And this burning sense of God, and of the unity of God, found its ,way to the hearts of others through the medium of a high elo quence. ordinary address, his speech was slow, distinct, and emphatic ; but when he preached, his-,eye would, redden, his voice rise , high and loud, and his whole irame become agitated with passion, .even as if he were -warning the people of an enemy about to fall on them the 'next morning or that very night.' " But Mohammed claimed to be more than a "warner and a izeacher." His inspirations was essentially oracular • ijbfeZtive intimation s mane tourni the angel `;Gabriel or otherwise. How far he may ha'e believed this himself,. during the early period of his career, it is, difficult to say. In itsearlier life, at Mecca his ends seem to have been comparatively pure, though the means he used (such as these revelatiens) must be doubtful. "But the scene altogeth er changes' at Medina. There the acquisi tion of temporal power, aggrandizement, and self-glorification, mingled with the grand ob ject of the Prophet's previous life ; and they were sought after and attained by precisely the same instrumentality."—North-Western Christian Advocate.
