ONE OF GRACE PALMER'S DAYS. A WORD TO TER GIRLS. " What's the • matter Eddie ?" asked Grace Palmer in a pleasant voice as she en tered the sitting-room one bright winter morning, a,ndfonnd her brother with a flushed face and muttering impatiently. " What trouble's you, Eddie ?" "Why, this old sum plagues me 'so I I mean to, give it up I" and' he laid his slate and arithmetic upon the table in no very gentle - way. • "No, I wouldn't, brother. Let me see it. Perhaps I can help you." The book and slate were taken up again, and a few, words of explanation brought Ed die out or hid troubles and lighted up his face once more. Grace was not much older than her brother, but she was somewhat ahead of him in her studies, and was never unwilling to aid when it was necessary. Just, as she had made sunshine for Eddie, a mournful cry came from under the table, and soon after the curly head' of Madge, her lit tle sister, appeared, and she too sought sym pathy from sister Grace. " I did bump my head," she sobbed, as Grace took, her in her arms and kissed away the tears, gently rubbing the place which she pointed out as the "bump,;'till Madge was comforted. Then Grace set her to play ing again i and after her usual preparations she started for school. On the way she overtook several of her mates. They were full of glee about some thing, and greeted her with a shout that ex plained their mirth. "Oh, Grace Palmer, do look here ! Did you ever I" and her at tention was directed to the central figure of the group: It was little Martha Dade. On her head was a strange old-fashioned toed, from which looked out a kind of half- ashamed, half-sorrowful face ; an old cloak .v.hich somebody had doubtless given to her mother, and. which was by far too long for her small form, hung from her shoulders ; and altogether she was, as the girls said, "a queer sight." She had appeared that morn ing for the first time in this winter outfit, and,the girls, who had forgotten for the mo ment that she was a child of poverty, had aurrounded her;-and were making merry at her expense. But Gi ate, more thoughtful than the others, did not see any " fun " in this, and she only said, kindly,, as she took, the hand of the poor child and led her for forward,—" Why, girls, you didn't think. ria Shit you didn't mean to grieve Martha." "The laugh was hushed. The girls, evi dently self-condemned, seemed anxious now to make reparation by their kindness to Mar tha, and through that day attention was no More balled to her appearance. School was opened and the lessens com menced. ,Grace, who generally mastered every, lesson, woo about to fail in a question put to her: A sign from one of her class mates told her the answer. One failure now Would perhaps cause her to lose the, credit Mark of a' whole week. The temptation was strong, but Grace was not overcome ; she let the .question pass to the next, and received an "imperfect" mark. At the close of the school, as she left the room, her teacher said approvingly, "I saw, Julia's offered aid on that question,-Grace, and I am glad that yen weal? .o.9abled to be honest." " Ah,," thought I Grace, " should net have been honest if I had pot been helped to overcome." She did et .get through the day without other / tibUblee. Little mischievous Madge came by , the table where she was .writing composition," and joggled her so that a bad blot was made in the centre of the sheet. An, angry word sprang to her lips, and in deed half leaped out, but she cut it short, quietly took Madge out of the way, and be s 44 anew- Eddie ,too made frequent calls upon` Fier, birt if you had asked him at the dfty's close what he thought of sister Grace, Is Om cure he would lave said, " I love her dearly, , she's always kind." Grace does not find it easy to go through a.day so as to feel happy at night. Little girls have told me more than once that they tried to be good arid to make others happy all the day, but, it was so hard they felt dis- Voura4a. Grace had to struggle very hard sometimes against selfishness, and pride, and a quick temper; and these are just the things that trouble some little girls that I know and love. But such happy days as this are not strange or unusual with her, and the reason is that every morning she asks `Christ to give her strength to do what pleases Aim; and every night she thanks him for all success, asks forgiveness for all failures, and prayerfull3r, and with humble trust in her best Friend, makes a resolve that if spared to see a new day she will try again ) and harder than ever, to have sunshine in her heart for herself, and sunshine in her faca for every body. Dear Grace! She will one day walk "in white raiment," for Jesus is guiding her in the path that leads to " the place where the 'angels dwell.' How many of you have d pine the same company of happy travelers? .cot-- Uncle Paul in the Child at Rome. "I declare, Sarah Bell," said Mrs. How ard to her niece. " I don't know how your mother can get along as she does, with six children. I have only half as many; and they almost worry the life out of me. It seems as if they grew more troublesome every day. The only happy moment I have, is when they are all in bed: then I know they are not in mischief. How hard it must be for your mother to manage six." " Why auntie, it never seems to be hard ; though dear mamma has a great care, I know. I don't believe she thinks there are too many of us; she never tells us so, if she does. I am sure we are all very happy together ; and I think mamma is happy too. 1 heard her say last week, that the best part of the day for her, was when we came home from school at night; and she could have us all together. again." Well, her children cannot be much like mine, if she can say that; , I am positively dreading to see my George and Willie open the gate. It is time for them now." A loud outcry, and the din of many child ish voices drew the speaker to the window. There was evidently, a row among the crowd of boys who were on their way home from the village school. Willie Howard was, run ning as if for life; and too much in haste to stop for trifles, sprang over the fence instead of stepping to untie the gate which was fas tened with a string. A rent in his trowsers was the consequence of his escapade ; and the wrath of his tidy mother met him at, the threshold. "Another job* for' my tiyed fin gers, you naughty boy, you plague me almost to death. A pretty sight you are for corn pany, but come along and let your cousin see what work you make me." Willie was about to deprecate his mother's anger by telling what was indeed the truth.that'a, very quar relsome comrade was pursuing him to make him stand and fight, while he was following his mother's repeated direction to run home and get away from him. But the furious out break with which she greeted him, and the mortification of being dragged as'a culprit into the presence of his ,cousin, made him too sullen and resentful to'offer any juitifica tion. —Jane Taylor. " Where is George ?" said Mrs.. Howard. The question was answered as son as asked by his entrance. He bore the marks of a, street fight, having a bruised. eye, a bloody mose,..and =his cap torn and Stsiled. But his injuries secured his mother's pity, and she petted him as the victim of his com rade's violence while be was really the un provoked aggressor of the fray. Before the house .was quiet, the thrid child came in, little Lucy Howard, who had been spending the day abroad t , ;•She was a child of rare beauty, and naturally, amiable ; but the mother's indiscreet training had nearly spoiled. her. She was vain, and exact6g. Her brothers were made to yield to her huniet right or wrong ; and there was neither foie or, peace in the household. Sarah Bell was as much• relieved as "her aunt; when bedtime came. Yet it was .not the hsppy retiring which she was accustomed to at home. The children were cross, end threw off their garnients,,in disorder. This fretted the impatient mother, and though with the maternal instinct, she carefully eove:i.e.d and tucked them up in bed, no word._of rove or voice of prayer soothed them to their qinn hers. When their young cousin's visit was ended, Mrs. Howard accompanied her home, and spent a day or two with her sister-in-11w, Mrs. Bell. They had very seldom met be fore ; Sarah's mother haying but just moved, from a distant part of the country into the'' town adjoining the llowards. Both the ladies were widowed, their husbands having been killed by a railroad casualty while traveling together about five years previous to the date of our story. Each of these mothers was a professing Christiaroalso ; but there alas ! all points of resemblance ceased. Mrs. Howard seemed greatly struck by the contrast between her sister-in-law's household and her own. The children of Mrs. Bell were obedient and affectionate. There seemed to be a hidden influence, an undercurrent of moral power operating to check irritation, curb any approach to waywardness, and bring each member of the family into relations, of harmony. " I wish I knew your . mother's secret for managing children' said Sarah's aunt as they were alone together on the. morning after her, arrival. "I don't see whatshould make such a difference between hers und, 'mine.' Now Sarah was a thoughtful and observing child, though only twelve years old. -She had al ready seen one strong point of difference be tween her mother's way of ;amity training and her aunt's. So she answered the latter's appeal pleasantly but frankly as follows.. " Auntie, you do not put my cousins to bed, as mamma does us." " What do you mean, child ? Don't I tuck my children in as nicely as your mother does hers ?" " Oh, auntie, I .mean—l mean, mamma always tucks us in with, a prayer." Mrs. Howard's donseience smote her with the diference.—Cqngregationaliet. Out in Minnesota, some Infidels builded a town. The original proprietors stipulated that no church should. ever be placed upon the town-plot, on pain of its reversion to the original owner. The settler threatened that any preachers who stould dare to come there to disturb them with the Gospel, should be hanged or thrown into:he river. They danc ed and got drunk on the Sabbath, and reveled in all manner of ungodliness. On one Sab bath a few weeks ago, they wee an effigy of Jesus Christ, and burned it on the public street. This sink of iniquity, where infideli ty had thus thoroughly gone'to seed, ;was call ed New Ulm. Before another Sabbath sun had dawned upon this graceless village, the wild Indians assaulted it. The people fled froin their dwellings in the greatest consternation, and stout men bid themselves in cellars, wells' stables, and wherever they.fancied they could find protection. A few, braver. than their comrades, attempted some defense, and even women it is said, tried to shame the majority, of cowards into some degree of strength and courage. But all availed little. The red skin, flood swept over the doomed territory. From one hundred and. fifty to two hundred houses--many of them of some pretension to elegance, and well-furnished—were razed to the ground.

STARR, Jr., of Pen, Yan, in his exceedingly valuable and vigorous .discourse on the "People of Color in , ,,the United States," thus states, the significant facts of the early history of slavery in this country : ,Slaves were imported Kite this country by traders and companies, and by national Brit ish patronage. In 1620, the same year our pilgrim fathers stepped on Plymouth rock, a Dutch sliip landed and sold at Jamestown, Virginia, twehty slaves : these were the first slaves in the United States. The trade once commenced, competition between buyers and importers sprang up, and the evil began to spread, until it was soon found scattered along the whole coast. But the work of sup plying slaves to this country was not left wholly to individual enterprise. Four com panies,, to trade in slaves, were chartered by the English government, and two of the kings of England were members of two of those companies ! They brought many slaves ; but the influences we have mentioned were constantly operating to keep the community from becoming demoralized, so mud' so, that more than fifty years had passed by and there were comparatively few. The opposi tion was such that several of the colonies petitioned the English government to prevent their further importation. The government refused to grant their prayer, being influ enced by the companies by whom it was sub sidized. Slaves and slavery were thus forced upon an unwilling people, and they were purchased by those having the most means and the least moral principle; and thus, the avarice of the trader and the cupidity of the buyer, with a corrupted distant government, sot up a small minority, in the democratic colonies of America, as a privileged class, against the pecuniary interest, the natural sentiment, and the religious convictoins of the great majority of the citizens.. . . The men who made the constitution were the men who led the world in the abolition of the slave trade. In 1776 the commence ment of our liberties, the old colenial.con gress forbade the further importation of slaves. 1788 such efforts were made by those interested in the importation of slaves, that congress was irohibited from interdict ing the traffic until 1808. . . Sei`iing upon the remaining period, before the termination of the slave trade in 1808, " Charleston alone in the four years of 1804-5-6 and 7 imported 39,975. While the nobler State of Georgia, by her own enactment, terminated the slave trade in 1798, ten years before the general government. Thus while our nation led all the modern nations in the closing of the slave trade, to Georgia belongs the honor of having anticipated by ten years the ac tion of our nation. . . Virginia would not cede to the United States the northwest ter. ritory, now the State of Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois, Wisconsin and Michigan, without the express stipulation, in the words and hand writing of, the immortal Jefferson, that in "all that territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio, slavery and involuntary servitude, excep:for the commission of crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall be and hereby is forever pro hibited." The United States accepted that territory upon that prohibition, and, passing it in the very words of Jefferson, made those lire noble States forth'. free. That was the treat ordinance of 17871 and is the true ex p4O'nent of the intentions of the founders of tliis republic, respecting the institution of slavery, and the true iuterpeter of the mean ing and spirit of the constitution: They let the slave trade to stop slavery coming fro:in abroad. They refused in the constitu ti4 to acknowledge that so loathsome a thing existed iii a free nation ; and they took every; foot of /and then belonging to the gene ral government and forever prohibited slave ry iii it. 4'ls' -411. •:ktDWARD PAYSON HAMMOND. Mit. HAMMOND is yet quite young, having beeli l born at Ellington, Tolland county, Ct., Sept, : l,lB3l. His boyhoed and youth were passed; mostly at the adjacent town of Yer noti. He owes much to ac pious mother's faithful prayers and' Counsels. He became" a sibjea of converting grace at the age of 17, 'while attending school at Southington, Hartford county, Conn. He studied at Phil lips Academy, Andover, Muss., and enter-, es:l.'4llllam College in the Autumn of 1854;:-. Completing his collegiate course in 1858, be entered Union Theological Semi nary, in ,this city, the same year. In the Au tumn, of 1859 he visited Scotland, expecting after a few months to return and resume his studies-kwthis city. Circumstances occasion ; ed a change of his plans, and- he connected himself with the senior classes of the Free College of Edinburgh, completing his course. of theological study in the Spring of 1860. ,His Wiiide course, according to the testi mony of his instructors, from :the time of commencing'his studies for theminiitry, has been marked by an ardent zeal for, the con version .of' souls to Christ. His efforts in collegwand,in the vicinity, were crowned - With much' success. During( his abode in Edinburgh, he visited considerably in the neighborhood, and his labors were much blessed, espe:cially at Musselburgh, about five miles to the east of the city. - In January, 1861; he visited the town of Annan, in the extreme south of Scotland, continuing there for a fortnight in labors, night and, day, for the good of 'souls. A wonderful Work of divine grace followed, pervading the whole town and country round about. In February, he visited Dumfries with a like result—the work extending to every village and hamlet ifithin a circuit of twenty miles, and resulting, according to thejudgment of the pastors of the churches, in the genuine conversion of large numbers of souls. Having been invit ed to Glasgow, he labored there incessantly' from Feb. 24th to April 9th, 'preaching and exhorting in their largest churches, and suc ceeding, by the blessing of God, in stirring up multitudes of adults, and especially of chil dren and youth, to the work Of securing their salvation. Having succeeded in obtaining the confi dence of the ministry of Glasgow and siein ityy the most flattering testimonials were given him at a public meeting held in that city the last week in May, shortly after his return from Italy. Early in January, 1861, he returned to America, and for more than a year pursued a similar course of labor, mostly in the State of Maine—particularly at , ortiand, Brunswick, and Bath—securin nfidonce of the pastors leasing results kimitar to ibed.

Whatever be its origin, it is hered itary in the constitution, descending '1 from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." The diseases it originates take various names, according to theyrgans it attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally, Consumption ; in the glands, swellings which sup purate and become uleerouS sores ; in the stomach, a nd bowels, derangements which produce indi gestion, dysperisia and liver Complaints"; .on the skin, ernptive - anil cutaneous affections. These, all having the same origin, require the same rem'. edy, viz.,purification and , invigoration of the blood. irily the blood, and these dangerous di.s, tempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you -cannot have health; with that "life of the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, • is compounded frog the most effectual antidotes that medical scientre has discovered for this afflict ing distemper, and for,the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far superior to any other remedy yet devised, is known by all who have given.it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upen this class of complaints, is indisputably proven by the great multitude of publicly knoivn and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases : King's Evil, or Glandular Swellings, 'rumors, Frup tons, Ample; Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Silt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in the lungs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or indeed, the whole series of conmlaints that arise from impurity of the blood. Minute reports of individual cases may be found in AYER'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be learned the directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures , which it has made when all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those cam are' purposely taken from all sections of the country, in order that every reader may have ac cess to some one who can speak to him' of its bene fits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results than are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life. #The vast importance of these con siderations has led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy whiCh,is adequate to its cure. This we now offer to the public under the name of Area's' SARSAPARILLA, although it is composed of ingre dients, some of which exceed the best of ..Sc' ;ma parijia in alterative power. By its aid you may protect yourself from the suffering and danger of these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in the blood, purge out the causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow. By its' peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital functions, and thus expels the distempers which lurk within the system or burst out on any part of it. We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of 'Sarsaparilla, that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither be deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have been proven by abundant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for the cure of the afflicting diseases it is intended to reach. Although under the same name, it is a very different medicine from any other which has been before the people, and is far more effectual than any other which has ever been available to them., y - .r_,Mt'S CHERRY PECTORAL, The World's Great Remedy for Coughs, Colds, Incipient Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive .• patients in advanced sta ges of the disease. This has been so long used and so universally known, that we need do no more than assure the public that its quality is kept up to the.bestit ever has been, and that it may be relied on to do all it has ever done.
