Lo at noon 'tis sudden night,
Darkness covers all the sky I
Rocks are rending at the sight I
Children, can you tell me why P
What can all these wonders be ?
Jesus dies at Calvary.
Nail'd upon the cross, behold
How his tender limbs are torn 1
For a royal crown of gold,
They have made him one of thorns
Cruel hands, that dare to bind
Thorns upon a brow so kind.
See I the blood is falling fast
From his forehead and his side.
/lark! he now has breathed his last;
With a mighty groan be died I
Children shall I tell you why
Jesus eondeacends to die ?
He w,ho was a king above,
Left his kingdom for a grave,
Out of pity and of love,
That the guilty he might save:
Down to this sad world he flew
For such little ones as you.
You WeresWeeldhed, weak, and vile,
You deserved his holy frown ;
But he saw you with a smile,
And to save you hasten'd down,
Listen, children t this he why
Jesus condescends , to die.
Come, then, children, come and see,
Lift your little hand ' s. to pr,ay

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?

"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

to disturb them with the Gospel, should be

in all manner of ungodliness. On one Sab

street. This sink of iniquity, where infideli

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

COMPULSORY INTRODUCTION AND FAR.
LY REPUDIATION OF SLAVERY IN
AMERICA.
I=2El
REV. F. 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.

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

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

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.,
