The End of the Rainbow.
" COME, NEVIN," I cried, on a soft summer day,
When the sunbeams were chasing the raindrops
away—
" The rainbow has lit on yon hill, and you. know
There are bags full gold at the end of the bow."
We were young, thoughtless children,, sweet
Nelly and I,
And we thought that the hill-top was close'to
the sky;
We thought, too (our brothers had said it was
so),
We should find heaps of gold at the end of the
bow.
qo onward we trudged over meadows of green,
Where violets modest, and daisies were seen :
Nor paused till we Mood in the valley below,
And gazed all around for the end of the bow.
" Not here," I said sadly; but Nelly replied—
" .T.t.is hid Iry the moss by the waterfall's side;
Min fasti ; f you:reeve o'er the pebbles so slow,
I'M sure I'll be first at the end of the bow."
We found not the treasure vii searched for till
night;
But Nelly, the sweet, fragile blossom; was right;
From this valley of tears she was first called to go,
To the spot where is resting the end of the bow.
Where rainbows of glory unceasingly play,
Dear Nolly is singing with angels to-day;
And her light snowy pinions are folded; I.trow,
In, the fulness ofjoy at the end of the bow.
THE CHILD MARTYR OF ANTIOCH.
It was at Antioch, the ,city where the
disciples were first,called Christians, that a
deacon of the Church of Cmsarea was called
to endure the most cruel tortures, in order to
try his faith and force him to deny the Lord
who bought hiin with his own precious blood.
The martyr, amidst his agonies, •declared his
belief th't there is but "one God, and one
Mediator, between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus." His body wits almost torn to
pieces, the Emperor Galerius himself looking
on. At length, weary of answering, their
taunts that he should acknowledge the many
gods of the heathen, he told his tormenters to
refer the question to any little child, whose
simple understanding could decide whether it
were better to worship one God, the Maker
of Heaven and earth, and one Saviour who
was able, to bring us to God, or to "worship
the ieds many or lords many whom , the Ro
mans served.
Now it was so that a Roman mother had
come to the scene of the martyr's sufferings,
holding by the hand a little boy of nine ydd,rs
old. Pity, or the desire of helping the suf
feier, had probably brought her there ; but
the providence of God had ordained for her
an unexpected trial. The judge no sooner
heard the martyr's words than his eye rested
on the child, and pointing to the boy, he de
sired the Christian to put the question ho
•proposed to him.
The question was asked; and, to the sur
prise of those who heard it, the little boy re
plied, "God is one, and Jesus Christ is one
with the Father."
The persecutor heard, but far from being
either softened or convinced, he was filled
with fresh rage. "It is a snare," he cried :
-- ` - -9.13...hw and wicked Christian ! thou hast
instructeu - ; .
turning to the boy, he said,' more mildly,
• "Tell me, child, who taught you thus to
speak ? How did you learn thisfaith ?"
The boy looked lovingly in Ms mother's
• face and replied, "It was God's grace that
taught it to my dear mother ; and she taught
me that Jesus Christ loved little children,
and I learned to love Hiin for his love to
us."
" Let us see now.what the love of Christ
can do for you," cried the cruel judge ; and,
at a sign from him, the Rotors; or officers, who
stood ready with their rods, or sticks, after
the fashion of the Romans, instantly seized
the boy. Gladly would the mother have
saved her timid dove, even at the expense of
her awn life: but she could not do so; yet
• did she whisper to him to trust in the love of
Christ, and to speak the truth. And the
poor child, feeble and timid as he was, did
trust in that love ; nor could all the cruelty
of his tormentors separate him from it.
"What can the love of. Christ do for him
now ?" asked' the judge, as the blood strea
ked from the tender flesh of the boy.
"It enables him to endure What his mas
ter endured for him, and for us all," was the
reply.
Arid again they smote the child, to torture
the •Christian mother.
"What can the love of Christ do for him
now ?" they asked again. And tears fell
even from heathen eyes as that Roman moth
er, a thousand timed more tortured than her
son, answered, "It teaches him to forgive
his persecutors." •
The boy watched his mother's eye as it
rose up to heaven for him, and he thought of '
the sufferings of his dear Lord and Saviour,
of which she had told him : and when his tor
teentors inquired whether he would not now
amknowledge the gods they served, and deny
Christ, he still answered, "No ! there is no
other God but one : Jesus Christ is the Re
deemer of the world. He loved me. and I
love him for his love."
The poor child now fainted" between the
repeated strokes and they cast the mangled
body into the mother's arms, crying, " See
what the love of your Christ can do for him
now."
As the mother pressed him gerftly do her
own' crushed heart, she answered, "That
love will take him from the wrath of man to
the peace of heaven."
‘:f Mother," cried the dying boy, "give me
a drop of water from our cool well upon my
tongue."
The little martyr spake no more—and then
the ,mother said, "Already, dearest, hest
thou tasted of the well that springeth up to
everlasting life—the grace of Christ given to
his little one—thou hast spoken the truth in
love ; arise now, for thy Saviour calleth for
thee. Young, happy martyr, for his sake,
may he grant thy mother grace to follow thy
bright path:"
The boy faintly raised his eyes, looked to
where the elder martyr was, and said' again,
" There is but one God, and Jesus Christ
whom he has sent ;" and so saying, he died.
GIVE THE BEST.
IN the centre of Mrs. Wayne's sitting
room a large packing box had been placed,
:while the adjoining chairs and tables were
covered with piles of clothing. Three merry
,little girls looked more demure than usual.
• Their mother had dressed them in their best
'frocks, and told them to be very helpful.
Minnie could just peep over the edge, by
standing oner t ' es, yet she was old enough
to comprehe I th t the home missionary's
family would reet joyfully the coming of the
well filled Ipox. Two ladies arrived to help
Mrs. Way 4 ; on folded thegarments neatly,
another took a•, ist of the articles, and the
children'sthe packed beautifully.. While
she stowedl
va , he gifts, the little girls ran
back and for,tii, . Ming helpers. There were
children in the istant missionary's family
for whom many 1 tie dresses and aprons had
been made ; ther. were goodly piles of sheets
and pillow-cases, : id useful stores.
When they -e'er: busy with this kind work,
Minnie crept gale,' y up to the play room,
wearing a, puzzled Aok. She was trying to
find something of h: own to send in the mis
sionary box. Poor , the "Minnie was rather
mortified at finding i her corner of the baby
house many broken t., , 5, and mutilated dolls,
SOME having no head or arms, others look
ing worn and shabb . The animals from
Noah's Ark had lost legs and tails, several
of the tiny tea-cups erp without handles,
her prettiest books ha Men read until the
edges were soiled and he gildinglarnished.
A very sorrowful lee , came intnthe child's
eyes, as she sat surve , ng the foryrn play-
things. Her sisters' lh is of the rpona were

.
Minnie thought of an envelope If paper
dolls, but, alas ! the fro ; s were torn, and
the doll itself had a wew ness of the neck.
Presently the dear little , ling remembered
her pet and greatest trees ,0, the new doll
baby, which would sleep , s soon as it was
placed in the cradle, with its g etty_clothes
trimmed with .I,ce.
Very soon Minnie returr‘d to

packed it carefully away in the d 9
box.
Minnie's sisters felt rather asha,i ed that
they had not thought before of maki i g those
far-off children happy by some lit; e gift.
Now they ran for books, which the , begged
their mother to hide under t h'e piles If cloth
ing. The box was full to tb. brim.': When
the cover was nailed on and the Lard of di
rection affixed, the expressman carried it
away, and the children did not one' regret
the voluntary sacrifice.
When miles of traveling were accom fished,
the box appeared unexpectedly at th ome
missionary's door. It caused mope ' 'able
joy in the hearts of the- parents .and the chil
dren, especially „ when they `found ~w
thoughtful their unknown friends had 13, .n
in providing for their necessities not forg -

some day be Will give the very best to you!

THE ANACONDA IN SOMERVILLE,
AN ALLEGORY FOR THE TIMES.
LATELY, our little neighbor—the village of
Somerville—has been subjected to a terrible
ordeal. Fancy the amazement of the villa
gers, on seeing a huge anaconda marching
leisurely down its main street ! It had, it
seems, escaped from a circus exhibiting near
the village. .
- N . ow, it is easy to see that a big snake,
crawling through a small village, is scarcely
conducive to the repose of mind of those re
sident therein. It is certain that the quiet
of Somerville was disturbed ; indeed, the
only (plot was in the streets, which were
speedily deserted, whilst in the houses the
liveliest commotion existed. Doors and win
dows were barricaded. The snake had all
out of doors to himself. - At last the village
concluded to haye a meeting ; which was
held out of various up-stairs windows,
the
motions being made across streets. A. man
was, appointed chairman on •account of his
high position in society,—he being at . the
attic window of a four-story house,--and pre
sently a motion proceeded from the dormito
ry of an adjacent cottage, that the male res
idents who had fire-arms should take them
and go forth to pursue this enemy of the
commonwealth of Somerville.- The motion
was put to the various windows by the chair
man in the attic and carried. The men
buckled on their armor, and went 'forth.
When they got towards the outskirts of the
village; they saw his royal anacondaship
snoozing in a fence corner. When the mon
ster saw - them, he crawled off*, and hid him
self under a barn.
The heroes returned to their homes,
flushed with victory,— Veni ' vidi, yid, in
every eye ; they had pursuedthe foe,- and he
had fled before them ignominiously, the very
Floyd of anacondas. " Unbar your doers,
ye noble matrons of Somerville," they. cried
‘• the victory of your sons is complete?' But
one timid, lady asked where the anaconda was.
"Under Mr. Smith's barn," was the reply.
Then this lady inquired modestly,'" But may
not a snake that is under a barn come out
from under a barn ?" " Sure enough !"
" Sure enough !" echoed from window after
window; and the lustre of victory was gone.
The more it was thought of, the more it ap
peared that the anaconda was even more for
midable concealed under the barn than in the
middle of the street. The young men
watched around the barn till nightfall ; the
snake did not budge. They repaired, heavy
hearted,' to their homes. Alas! there was
little 'rest in Somerville that night. All
were sure they heard the snake trying their
window-panes ; each was sure it was lying
over the roof of his or her honse. The morn

[The ondon ' Spectator' of July 12, thus
nobly replies to . recent charge of degener
acy, denounced against America by that
prince of trance s, the London Times.]
Let us look at he facts. No sooner had
the war comtnen .d than the Northern peo
ple, supposed to bg- the one which of all others
preferred material objects, laid aside every
pursuit, and s . ke I their lives, their fortunes,
and their fu ure on a war for an ". idea, "
that idea bein the , one which in England we
call patriotis Taking, the lowest view of
their conduct, they still had the motive which
justifies Italy in deelaring vrar for Venetia--
they fought for their national.' completeness.
Believed to be disinclined to service, and in
capable of discipline, they enlisted in htin
dreds of thousands, and the Times correspon
dent bears, witness from the Parnunkey to
their wonderful patience amid' suffering
which equals that of our soldiers in the Cri
mea. Supposed to be guided wholly by
impulse,- they answered the frightful disaster
of Bull's Run by creating a new army, and
raising loans on a scale of more than Euro
pean profusion. "Impatient and fickle, "
they waited five months for McClellan to
organize the army without abating one jot of
their purpose, or becoming, even in language,
more virulent against their foes. `tlncapa,
ble of self-restraint, " they have. pardoned
McDowell in spite of a defeat which risked
their existence as as nation, and upheld Mc-
Clellan through all hislvearisome delays. A
"mere mob, ",they they suffered their President
to postpone the national pride to public se
curity, saw the ha,kas corpus suspended with
out a struggle, and gave up Mason and Slidell
in the very midst of their joyous excitement
at the capture. Worshippers of the " al
mighty dollar, " they have deliberately mort
gaged the North that the war might not be
starved, and the nation split into halves.
Without organization, and almost without a
Government, with no adequate revenue, and
with-half their own strength in open insur
rection against them, they have fought on
steadily for fourteen months, and in the very
thick of the contest have created a navy and
organized an army such as raises the 'Union
to the rank of a first-class. Power. Ancl, be,
it remembered in their praise, they have so
fought without the excitement of success,

General Butler was the first

The Union can never be restored " as it was."
The rebels are fighting for an aristocracy, or

to stand immutable and eternal. They hate
equal rights, and hate tote North because
democratic, ideas are . prevalent among the
Northern people. , They have no affection for
republic, no sympathy with labor, no toler
ance of a poor man's independence. If, then,
they are conquered, these notions of theirs
must be resisted, and supplanted by demo
cratia ideas. To restore the Union, with
slavery in it, still intolerant of restraint,
haughty, imperious, domineering, is to be
beaten in the contest I care not what may
be the fortunes of the field, unless slavery
receives its `death-blew in this war, the rebels
will Claim that•they have been Victorious; and
no man can deny their claim. This is what
they/ought for, so they have repeatedly and
in terms declared, and this they will have
saved unharmed. Even if they shotild not
obtain the form of's separate government,
they would secure the spirit and faith of
what they had contended for. And we, the

GErrrt.Eires:—.We have recovered the /Herrin&
Patent Champion Safe, of your makes whichwe bought
from you nearly five years ago, from the ruins 'of our :
building, No. 716 Chestnut street; which was entirely
Jestroyed by fire on the morning:of the 17th inst. -
- So rapid was the • progress of the flames, before we
could reach the store, the whole interior was one mass
of fire. The Safe being in the back part of the store,
and surrounded by the most combtistible materials, was
exposed 'to greht heat. It fell with the wills of ? that
part of the building into the cellar, and remained im
bedded in the ruins for more than ;thirty hours.
The Safe was opened this morning in the presence of
a nmxiber of gentlemen, and the contents,comprising
our books,, bills, receivable money, and a large amount
of valuable papers, are all safe; not a thing Was touched
by fire. -
