My Newfoundland's my pony; I ride upon his back, Or, harnessed to my carriage, I drive him on the track.

And here's my curly spaniel. Full many a mile we've run, For Carlo's feet are nimble,— lie's just the dog for fun. My things he often catches, And bounds away so fleet, ben back he circles with them, And lays them at my feet. He chases, too, my kitty, And Malta likes the rase; But if he barks too loudly, She strikes him in the face; Yet strikes him very . softly, And he politely bows, As if to ask her pardon For all his harsh " wow, wows." And yon mu;st,see my cosset •;~~~, A snowy lamb is he; And alllas antic friskings Are innocent and free. And then I've doves so gentle They light upon my head, Or sit upon my shoulder, And from my hand eat bread. My playmate group is pleasant, And we have pastimes rare; We're all good, friends together, And troubled by DO care. We have no noisy quarrels, • Our family agree ; And, sporting in good nature, We're happy, gay, and free.' —Home Monthly. A NEW IDEA. " What are you doing here, John?" said William to a boy who was sitting on a rock at the fork of the roads, as it was called. "Nothing," said John ; and that is just what I don't like. It is hard work to do no thing." " Why do you sit here doing :nothing if you don't like it ? " " I have been to the river, and uncle has gone down to Burlinville, and he told me to wait here till he came along." From the point where the boys met one road led• to the river, as it was called, and the other to a village some four males below. The distance to each place from the fork of the roads was about the same—about three miles. The spot was surrounded by u second growth . of wood, and there was no house in sight. Where the roads parted there were two guide-boards. On one was written "To the River," ,and on the other "To Burlini ville." " What have you got in that basket? " said John. " A hatchet, and some nails." "That gives me a new idea," said John, Tising from his seat and taking the hatchet from the basket. What sort of an idea do you suppose the hatchet and nails gave the idle bay:? You cannot guess, and William could not, so John proceeded to explain his meaning. "I wanted something to do, and now I have it. Let us knock off these guide-boards, and change them, so that the one which now points to Burlinville: will point to the river, and the one which points to the river willpoint 443 Burlinville." " What do you wish to do, that for ?" 41 For the fun of the thing. Wouldn't it bejolly to have an old man come along here, and look up and read the guide-board, and think himself on the way to the river, till he brings up at Burlinville ?" "I don't: see any fun in it ; besides, it would not be right to do it." " Oh, you have no fun in yon ; let me have the hatchet." • "I won't agree to it. It is not right." " Who cares for what is right, when there is some fun to be had ?" "I do." " Lend me the hatchet, and I'll do it." William let him hare the hatchet. If it was not right to do the thing, was it right for William to furnish' John- with an instrument for doing it ? John found the boards were beyond his reach, "Hare, you come and, help me," said " No, I won't do what is not right. John argued . that he ought to help`him; it was mean not to 'help him—he would take all the blame, etc. Finally, William's good nature yielded so far that he held a rail against the tree for John to stand upon,while he carried his "new idea" into practice. William then went on his way, leaving John to wait for .his uncle. William's reflec tions were not overpleasant. He knew that to do right was to please God, and he knew that it was • better to please God than to . please a companion by aiding him to do wrong. A. few days after the "new idea " was re alized. Mr. Brown, a farmer, living a few miles above the forks of the road, cut, his foot severely. His hired man, who was a stranger in that part of, the country, was told to take a hor,se, and ride as fast as possible to Burlinville fora doctor to dress the wound. 11e was told to go straight on till he came to ,the fork ,of the roads where the guide-board would direct him which road to take. He did so, and came, out at the river, where there was no doctor. He had to ride four miles further before he found one. In the mean •time, Mr. Brown would have bled to death had not a neighbor who had some knowledge of anatomy come in. He placed ,his finger ..on the severed artery, and thus checked the flow of blood till the doctor arrived. This event did not increase William's sa tisfaction with the part he had taken in chang ing the guide-boards. If he had adhered to the right he would have escaped all trouble in regard to the matter. To do right is to avoid a great deal of trouble. John did wrong in misleading a man as to the road he wished to take. Those do a still greater wrong who mislead them as to the , road to heaven,, ' • Danger is safety to the prudent. CHILDREN AT PRAYER-TIME. A LITTLE ingenuity and study of child na ture can do much to keep order and outward reverence among a, group of children during family devotions. We have Teen little ones of two and three years old, who were gen erally models of good behaviour. The fol lowing from the Christian Guardian is sug gestive : More parents than one have felt perplexed in not being able to keep the little folks quiet during prayers. To them the following bit of experience may not be uninteresting. My little George, nearly six years old, has per haps as much mercury in his composition as `most lads of his age. Indeed, he has eiwnyi been a noted character for restlessness, and this he has frequently displayed, much to my grief, at the family altar. He has often been punished in various ways, but has soon for gotten it. A few weeks ago, he had done about his best during the entire. services, ,and when we arose from prayer, I kissed him. He looked astonished (had his mother done it, it would have been no surprise), and said "Pa, why did you kiss me ?" "Because you were, a good boy while, we were praying. " Oh ! well, I'm glad," and his eyes fairly sparkled with satisfaction, and off he ran to plaY. Therehas been. no more trouble, in, that • line, and every morning he comes for a kiss. s. similar trial may have a gdod effect in other cases. A slight reward, timely bestoWed, may prevent the necessity of heavy punish ment. In the government of God over men, he not only punishes for evil, but rewards for well doing. Surely it is safe td copy after the great Original. LET TEEM TRY IT. " BRESS the Lord, Oh my soul, I can read his word 1" cried Uncle Crisp. " coming out de Egypt into the promised land." Uncle Crisp.was still a slave; but his mis tress, rightly seeing that the time of his free. : dom was near, put into his hand that mighty tool of fieedom, reading. And she taught Tom and Bess and Judy. The mistress was brought up in a slave country, and' believed slavery necessary to take care, of the poor blacks. Finding :out that the biggest part of the Christian world thought otherwise, she began" to. think. Had she a right to all Crisp's time and his work, and his hands and his feet and his muscles and his brain, and his wife and his•children ? Had not. Crisp some right to himself ? Was not the faithful servant wor. thy of his hire ?> Had not he as well as she aright to life,, liberty, and the pursuit happiness ? Was she really obeying the simple Christian law of doing as she would be done by ? for that law settles the justice of.a good many things. And she thought very seriously about the matter when she allowed terself to think at all. But could Crisp take care of himself ? " Crisp," she said one (lacy, " ean :3rou take care of yourself frceP" "Bress you, missiS, when de Lord takes folks out of the bondage: of sin, he does not ask dem dat. He pulls, dem- right out, and lets dem try it." —Child' e Paper. 'SAYINGS .01' CHILDREN. TRUST.-A few nights since, two little boys were lying together in their trundle-bed. Willie, the elder of the two, who was only six years of age, awoke in the night, very thirsty. Being told that he could jump up and get himself some water, he cried, saying that he was afraid:, Upon this, his little brother, two years younger than himself, spoke encouragingly to him, and said, " God is might here, Willie ! od is wight here! you needn't be afraid, Willie !" So Willie jump ed up, and went and got himself.some water, and then came back to his little bed, all safe, and soon he and his little brother were fast asleep again. A PRAYER.--A father came home from his business at early evening, and took his little girl upon his knee. After a few dove like caresses, she crept to his bosom and fell asleep. He carried her himself to her cham ber and said, "Nellie would not like to go to bed and not say her prayers." Half opening her large blue eyes, she dreamily articulated. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord—" then adding, in a sweet murmur, " He knows the rest," she sank on her pillow,. in His watchful care who ." giveth his beloved' sleep." • - • witxn is YOUR BOY? We saw him last, late in the evening, in company ' , With 'seine , very bad boys, and they each. had a, cigar, novrandthen some of them! used very profane, language. And we knew it was no very'uneemmon thing for some of them to " take a; glass of ale,' which is sure finally to lead. to something stronger. AS we looked at your son we wondered if you knew where he was so late in'the evening, and with whom he was associating. Do notSe so. taken up.with your business or pleasure as to neglect your boy. He will bring sor row and shame to your household, if you do, not "bring paternal restraint to bear upon him won. Eveniugs should find the boy 4 home until he.has arrived at an age of dis cretion and has been thoroughly imbued with principles of right. Parents, remember this. iisZell l / 4 11COUO. AN UNSANCTIFIED QUAKER. A Methodist preacher, a traitor, formerly belonging to Hartford courity, Maryland, re - - turned thither a short time since a fugitive from Virginia. Having occasion to visit a store in the neighbourhood, kept by a Quaker, he began, while there, to utter'his treasona ble sentiments. Thee must not talk so in my store," ex claimed the Friend. " Thee has left thy friends.and come hither—thee must now go out of my store, or I shall put thee out, and thrash thee afterward." " I thought that Quakers did not fight ?" said• the preacher. " Friends who are sanctified never fight," replied the Quaker ; "but I am one that is not ; hence thee had better leave quitkly." The secessionist had not provided for this emergency, and judged it expedient to leave. • Faith's discovery of forgiveness in God is the sole bottom of adherence to him, in ac cePtable worship and, reverential obedience. ut Treobtterian ani Lk cutoff (grangtlifit. NO TIME FOR FAULT-FINDING. [The following earnest and timely words are from Rev. Dr. Prentiss' late Oration on the National Crisis, published in the October number'of the American Theological Review.] " I have said but little in censure of our own faults and errors in the past or the pre sent. This is not because I think there has been no ground of blame, nothing wrong among us. Far enough from it. But it would be difficult to speak the whole truth without allusions not altogether in place on such, an occasion as this. It is no hour for bitter reflection and recrimination. Few are altogether guiltless. Almost all have made mistakes, greater, or less. I have small re spect for the man who busies himself now with nursing old:hates and prejudices, raking up old quarrels,,proclaiming his own inno cence,, or even denouncing old sinners. He had better wait till the war is over,—perhaps he had better wait till the day of judgment. That will be a:fearful daY no doubt . to not a few Who have helps,d on this treason and held their heada.high in the land; but will it not be a serious, day with us all, when our duty to our country shall be the matter of inquisition ? Who of us,has dono for her all he might and ought to have done ? 'Who of us will not need mercy? So'far, too, as the leading conspitators and criminals arC,coll-; corned, whether north or south of Mason and Dixon's 'line, they may safely be left to the future. History, will take.care that, justice is done them. We have seen but the early dawn of. American literary genius. Weehall have our. Thucydides and our, .Tacitus yet. Perhaps we 'shall hive our Dante yet ; and when he constructs- his poetical bell:, he will leave ample space, and that in the low est circles, for these unnatural children of the Republic; arapTe space, too; let us hope, for the corrupt- contractors and politicians and office-hunters who have traded in ,the Woi,S and of their, country Y ! And on the other hand, he will place high-in his po ,etical Paradise, and crown with amaranthine wreaths thosewho shall have done most and made the greatest sacrifices for their ,coun try's salvation. a " In the meanwhile; let the, main. question be, Who is on the Lord's side ? Who, for getting the past, is willing to put his hand to the pleugh, and help put down this rebellion, without further delay ? Who is willing to give his days and, nights, his labor, influence, money, son, •brother,iind, his milli& to the work, until it be accomplished ? It is high time to put these questions everywhere and to everybody = and those who hold hack and shirk them, hii4ing still upon old grievances, deserve the malediction pronounce& agaiiist Meroz ; Curse ye, ilferoz, said the Angel'of the Lord, curse ye bitterly -the inh,abitants thereof ; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help .of , the Lord against the nighty. -"Of the history and conduct of the war thus far I have but, few words to say, and these shall be a plea for confidence. Grave mia takes have'unquestionably been made. How could it have been otherwise ? - The Presi ,dent and his advisers are, fallible men., Con 'gross is far from being an infallible body. Our best generals are all, imperfect. - On the eu other hand, the task to be performed, both civil and military, has been almost superhu man with scarcely a ray of experience to guide the Government on their dim and pe rilous ,way, with treachery on every side, and the popular voice itself often clamoring for different and sometimes impossible things. We have wanted our President to be at once a Washington and a Jackson, and our gene rals to be; all Napoleons. We have wanted to have everything done with consummate wisdom and skill. It was a natural feeling in view of the interests 'involved ; 'but was it reasonable:? Certainly, there has. been 'a . great deal to try and evex the nation's pa tience ; but it is always so in momentous ex , igencies ; and ,does-rat' this very _trial of pa tience work experience, and experience hope? It is a thousand times pleasanter to praise than to blame ; and though blame is often indispensable and most salutary, yet it is so only in the degree that it is intell igenrand joist. On the whole, is there another man among all the ,tiventy millions of loyal eitizena whom you would prefer to ,put ,at the head of the nation in place- of the honest;sagacious; and jiiStnian—the plain , Western MAR of the people—whoin Providence has put 'there ? Admitting that Congresslai , said and done some unwise things, has it not also passed some of, the most important and fruitful mea sures recorded in the history'of our national legislation ? Have we not ample reason for thanksgiving thatthe crisis 'has given us so many officers in both arms of the;service who have - uriderstoqd their work, and performed it with eminent skill 'and 'valor; men whose names will be for ever honored in the memo ry of the Republic ? And as ,to . the army, and navy themselves,. what words can . do justice te',their heroic *deediand ' their still more heroic suffering's and patience?.We used to look up to the heights of patriotic zeal and :self devotion where, our Retelu tioriar-,sires once -walked,' -with' awe-struck 'eye, and, fancied them inaccesible cur pleasure and money loving ; age.

Such isthe sprit of our young warriors for the Union ; andl believe it is, in truth, the inmost spirit of the nation." OM A JEW'S HARP. Tun tooy,:unce - so well-known andiso great a favorite among school boys,,seems now al most. forgotten. _Occasionally, with an in voice of German goods, it crosses the Atlan tic,—but it is seldom ordered. It is general; ly seen, rusting its life away in idleness, in the shop-windows' of` those ancient dames in our seaboard towns who dispense pencils, pep perznint-drops, and peanuts to the urchins of the neighhorhooll. Yet in tho" hinds' of skilful performers great are the capabilities of this despised toy. It is in common use throughout Europe, More especially in the Netherlands and among the peasants of Tyrol. It is also knownid Asia and the Greeks of Smyrna call it, in imita tion of its sound, biambo. The origin of this instrument is lost in the long lapse of tithe, but it evidently deriVes its name from the Jews who axe and have always (i. e., from time inuae.morial) .been great Venders of it. Some are of Lopinion that its'proper title is jaw's harp, from the position .in which - it is h.eiti, but this is probablfa - inere fancy. Composed of two parts only, a body and a tongue, and these too of rude workman ship, it makes no pretentious to beauty or grace ; still, at the skilful touch of a friend, its weird-like music so, entrances the senses that its ungainly appearance is ignored. The body, a bar of iron bent somewhat in the form of a horse-shoe with elongated points ; the tongue, a thin strip of steel joined at the upper part of the bodyis elastic and bent at the end so that the fingers may touch it more readily. This tongue produces in itself only a sound which serves as a drone, although it appears to act like the bow of a violin in ex citing other sounds, by breaking the current of air from the mouth ; the acuteness or gravity of which are. determined by the pressure of the lips and the,,size of the cavity of the mouth.. The memoirs of 'Madame Genglis first made known the astonishing proficiency of a poor, German soldier •in playing the )ew's harp. This muzician was. in the service of Frederic: the Great, and fading himself on duty under the windows of the king played this his -favorite inatrument, with so much skill that Frederic thought he heard a distant orchestra, _Surprise •on learning that such an effect could be pi ducecl by a single man with two jew's harps, he ordered him into his presence.
