Mp Playmates.
BY CAROLA WILDGROYE.
Cour. see my cunning playmates,—
Such faithful friends are we
We have such merry frolics,
So full of life and glee.
My Newfoundland's my pony;
I ride upon his back,
Or, harnessed to my carriage,
I drive him on the track.
With silken coat, and shaggy,
Of•such majestic size,
With mien so t&ly noble,
And such expressive eyes,
With
With gait so proud and stately,.4, , A,
1 think him quite a steed)
The kingly name of Leo
He graces well indeed.
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.'

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.

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.

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

,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

some unwise things, has it not also passed

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

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. The2soltr refused, alleging he
only could -he relieved'ibY his colonel, and
that, if he obeyed,'tit,e ki ng ., he would impish
