ght amilg Charlie and the Robin's song. One summer morning early, When the dew was bright to see, Our dark-eyed little Charlie Stood by his mother's knee. And he heard a robin singing In a tree so tail and high On the topmost bough 'twas swinging, Away up in the sky. " Mamma, the robin's praying, In the very treetop there; Glory I glory 1' it is saying, And that is all its prayer. But God will surely hear him, And the angels standing by, For God is very near him, Away up in the sky." " My °Mid ! God is no nearer To robin on the tree, And does not hear him clearer ¶Phan he does you and me. For he hears the angels harping In auu.bright glory drest, And the little birdlings chirping Down in theis leafy nest.' " Mamma, if you should hide me Away down in the dark, And leave no lamp beside me, Would God then have to hark ? And if I whisper lowly, All covered in- my bed, Do you think that Jesus holy Would know what 'twas I said ?" " My darling littleslisper, God's light is never dim; .The very lowest whisper is always close to Him.", —ll - ollter'i Journal. GLEANINGS /lON- THE ,FOREIGN MIS SIONARY;FIELD. 18--PRATER OP TIM lIIIRIATS AND MONGOLS. Joiim 4: .24.—" God is a Spirit, and they that worsl4 him must worship him in spirit and in truth. AT the huts of the I3uriats, in Siberia, posts are found erected for the private de votions of the inhabitants, which are perform ed by hanging written prayers on the posts. 'These are kept constantly in flziotion by the wind, and so the prayers go up to heaven. In this way even the Lama relieves himself of the trouble of praying, as his duty would require him to do without ceasing. At other times the Lama is accustomed to close up 'a natnber ga,yers in a, barrel, and every day to say his prayers by rolling it around for a considerable time. Upon the grave of an' old Lama who' had recently died, One hundred stick's were set up, and on each of them yeas fastened a short prayer repeated six lllindred'times'; so the deluded people fancied that . the grand Lama -would offer his prayer sixty thousand times at every puff of wind ! The Mongols, in a similar manner, write th,eir.prayers on -a strip of paper, which they `set in motion as a flag by the wind 'or by means of a water-wheel, and pride them selves upon the earnestness of their prayer when the flag flutters or the wheel turns rapidly around. 19-ItEAMEN OFFERINGS. Host/ 6 6.—" For I desire mercy and not sacrifice,. and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." In the year 1804, before the South Sea Islands were converted, the King of Hawaii on his way to seize Penal with an army of 8,000 men, made a halt upon the island of Oahu. The yellow fever broke out among the troops; and in a few days more than two thirds of them were carried off. While the plague was raging the - King betoOk himself to a great offering-place, to appease the gods whose anger he regarded as the cause of the misfortune. The priests ordered a ten-day's purification, and a sacrifice of three men, four hundred swine, four hundred cocanuts, and four hundred bunchesnf bananas. Three men who had committed the dreadful offence of eating eecoanuts with the old queen, were immediately seized and carried to the.place of Sicrifide; ' Birt since it wits too early as i yet by three days to fulfill the offering, the eyes of the victims -were -put out, and their arms "and regs 'broken in the Mem/while. When the time of sacrifice arrived, one of them was laid beneath the legs of the idols, and the others were placed with the fruit and the swine 'the altar. They were pen ,beaten upon , the shoulders with clubs, until/they died' of the blows. Thus` didthese men beat each other to death, and., think they did God service by the deed. 20—ME LAST HUMAN SACRIFICE ON TAHITI. _Maw. 10: 28.—" And fear not' them Whiehlill the body but are not able to kill the soul." Upon the Society Islands it was the mis t= until very lately, to, make human sacri fices at the crowning of the chiefs ' the 'birth of princes, and the prospect of a war. Whenever the priests, :Who professed to understand the wishes of the gods, required a human offering, the King sent messengers to the chiefs of the various districts. These messengers went to the 'hilts of the chiefs and inquired if a faulty cocoanut was to be had. This figurative expression was easily understood ; the chief, by sign's, gave 'them to undertitandwhich One of his subjects he was ready to offer to the gods. The messen gers then crept up slily to the selected vic tim and struck him upon, the back of the head with `a stone. Others hastened up and completed the bloody work. Amid wild - Aries the corpse *as now dragged to the Marai or temple of the idols. The following is a narrative of the proceedings in the easel of the last human offering'on Pomare had a decisive battle to fight ; heaps of fruits, fishes, and the like had al ' ready been Offered; 'but the priests desired a human offering. , Thereupon the Queen sent two messengers to the house of the man whom she had devoted to that purpose. He was not at home. The messengers asked his wife for some cocoanut milk, and as there was none in the house, they required her to give them the implement with which the natives open the cocoanut, which she readily did. Upon this they hastened forth. A suspicion seized the womanoshe ran after them and was just in time to see 'her husband fall under the fatal blow. She would hav'e once more embraced him, but as the touch of a woman pollutes an offering, the murderers - restrained her and bound her hand and foot. They laid the wounded man in a basket made of cocoa leaves, and carried him to the Marai. On the way the poor man roused' from his swoon, and said to his murderers : "Dear friends, I know what you mean to do with me. You intend to kill me and offer me as. taboo .to your cruel gods. I know,. , too; that'll:l prayers. would, avail nothing Lo save my life. ; •No matter.; you may kill tny , body, but to my soul you can dc; do harm, for I have begun to pray to Jesus, of whom the missionaries have brought the news to our islands. My body you may slay, but my soul you cannot harm." The murderers were unmoved; they laid his head upon one stone and crushed it with another. Thus they presented him to their cruel gods. 21---FETISII OFFERING AND FETISH TREE. Ps. 106: 37.—" They sacrifice unto devils and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters." . An offering is to be made to the fetish of Badagry. King and people are assembled. The appointed sacrifice is brought in. A. cocoanut shell of rum is given him ; while he is drinking it, an axe from behind °hush es in his skull. Instantly his blood is caught up in a vessel, and as quickly his beating heart cut out of his body% The King bites into the smoking heart; :the rest follow his example, till it IS thrown to the dogs. The corpses are placed upon the fetish tree, an object which the. traveler, J. Lander, descri bes in a manner to . give a true impression of the dreadful condition of Africa. "I had scarcely proceeded three hours journey from Badagry, when the notorious fetish tree came suddenly into view. Its huge branch es were literally covered with fragments of human bodies, its majestic trunk girt around with countless skulls, the accumulations Of several years. It stood in the midst of an ' extensive opening in the heart of the forest. I had never seen a tree of such extraordin ary dimensions. Thousands of vultures, die turbed by our unwelcome approach, fluttered around their abeminable repast, and here and there one bolder than the rest pounced upon a half-devoured arm or lig. I stood as if spell-bound, incapable of moving from the ,spot, and gazed without the power of thought upon the horrid spectacle. The mighty limbs of the fetish tree, sighed under their load of human flesh and bones, and swayed up and down as often as one of the birds of prey rose up frOm it : The fearful and al most intolerable cheat of a_vertical sun, the g overpowerin stench of the corpses, the heaps of human skulla Which seemed to leer at me from their eye ;Sockets, the dreadful stillness and loneliness of the place, broken only by the unconscious sighing of the wind through the dense mass of foilage, or at times by the fearful screech of the vultures almost:flap ping their wings in my face—all this over come me. My . heart Sank in my breast ; dimness swam before my eyes, my legs re= fuse to sustain me, I turned away my face and sank unconscious into the arms of my faithful servant Jowdia." 22—GLAD TIDINGS. JOHN 1 t 29.—" Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world 1" A rich Hindoo asked his priest whit he must do to find rest and peace of mind. "You must wash yourself," said the priest, "in the sacred river " (Ganges). He did so, but without relief ' • the curse of sin Weighed his soul to the very ground: pilgrimage was then imposed'Upon him to an . idol temple. He wentit hundred and MY hours through burning sands, but felt as 'much oppressed by the curse as before. He 'once more sought counsel of his pridt: He said : "You. shall be helped." The Aindoo promisen eVerything. He was then charged to drive sharp nails though the soles of his shoes, to take a heavy blip& on his shoulder, and in this manner to walk for fifty hours. He undertakes the severe penance. Already ho t has gone twenty hours amid, the most dreadful pains ; when he reaches a village where he observes a large congregation listen ing to a foreigner preach. He was a mis sionary, who was saying to his heathen bre thren: "Behold the Lamb of God who taketh • away the ain of the world !" and declaring to them that the Saviour would give peace to all who believed in him. The burdened • man drank in the message as if it had been honey. He cast the block from his shoulders, drew his thorny soles from his feet, and called out in the midst of all the people: "He is the one that can help me! He it is that 1 am seeking. In him I will believe, and him will 1 follow !" ChEAP COOKDai. A'Mr. Corbet, of Glasgow, noticing the 'bad management of the working classes in regard to the cookery of their food, conceived a plan of cooking it for them, at a rate whiCh should be incredibly, cheap, yet provide them with the best quality of food in plain, but neat,, and comfortable-rooms,--tire whole to be self-supporting, not a charity. He. has completely succeeded. As every person's meal lays a profit, which profit he' has d;e voted to extending the system, no one feels his pride hurt by taking one. After the working men's hours of meals clerks, milli ners, and others, of a higher class, are : glad of an ample meal of the best quality on sueh - terms. Mr. Corbet began with >a single now - room, in-September , 1860 ;he has thfr teen branches in successful operation. Only I about half a dozen' men are employed, hitt- there are 180 cooks and attendants of the rank of domestic servants. A. breakfast bf Porridge, milk,-coffee, and roll with butter, can be had for 3d.; a dinner, consisting of a basin of broth, a plate of meat, hot or cold, an amply supply of potatoes, and a slice .of capital plumpudding, for 40. The proof of the, quality is in the _enormous sale; such as, monthly, 55,000 basins of soup, 52,000 plates Of beef, 827000 roils, and of other things in proportion—of the penny rations of soup, coffee, tea, &c., the number was 400,000. These are all the results of buying the best articles, wholesale, and in the best markets, of taking cash and paying cash,—in a word, of good management. Every room is well supplied with newspapers, and there are , separate apartments for women. The move- is attracting well-deserved attention in Man chester and in other tolins.— Weekly Review. OUR LADIES OF SORROW. The eldest of the three is named Mater Lachrymarum, Our Lady of Tears. She it is that night and day raves and moans, call ing for vanished faces. She stood in Rama, where a voice was heard of lamentation,— Rachel weeping for her children, and refused. to be comforted. She it was that stood in Bethlehem on the night when Herod's sword swept its nurseries of Innocents and the little feet were stiffened forever, which, heard'at times as they tottered along floors overhead, woke pulses of love in household hearts that were not unmarked in heaven. Her eyes are sweet and subtile, wild and sleepy, by turns; oftentimes rising to the clouds, oftentimes challenging the heavens. She wears a diadem round her head. And I knew by childish memories that she could go abroad upon the winds, when she heard the sobbing of litanies, or the thundering of organs, and when she beheld the.mustering of summer 'clouds. This sister, the elder, it A ntrt ican gttobttetiatt and 6tittott Coirangtliot is that carries keys more than papal at her girdle, which open every cottage and every palace. She, to my knowledge, sate all last summer by the bedside of the blind beggar, him that so often and so gladly 1 . talked with, whose pious daughter, eight years old, with the sunny countenance, resisted the tempta tions of play and village mirth to travel all day long on dusty roads with her afflicted father. For this did God send her a great reward. In the spring-time of the year, and whilst yet her own spring was budding, he recalled her to himself. But her blind father mourns forever over her ; still he dreams at midnight that the little.guiding hand is locked within his own ; and still he wakens to a darkness that is now within a second and a deeper darkness. This M ater Lachrymarunt also has been sitting all this winter of 1844-5 within the bedchamber of the Czar, bringing before his eyes a daughter (not less pions) that vanished to God not less suddenly, and left behind her a darkness not less profound. By the power of her keys it is that Our Lady of Tears glides ghostlY intruder into the, chamber of sleepless men, sleepless *omen, sleepless children, from Ganges to the Nile, from Nile to Missiiiippi. And her,- because she is the first-born of her house, and has the -Widest empire, let us honor with the title of " Madonna.!' _ , The second sister is, called Mater &alai riorum, Our Lady of Sighs. She never sealeathe clouds, nor walks abroad uPott the Winds. She wears no diadem And' her eyes, if they were ever seen, would he neither, sweet nor subtile ,• no man could read their story ; they would be found filled with perish ing dreams, and, with Wrecks' Of forgotten delirium. But she raises not - her 'eyes her head, on which sits a dilapidated turban, droops forever, forever fastens on the dust. She weeps not She . groans not. But she sighs inaudibly at intervals. Her sister Madonna is oftentimes stormy and frantic, raging in the highest against heaven, and de manding back her darlings. But Our Lady of Sighs never clamors, never defies, dreams not of rebellious= aspirations. She is humble to abjectness. Hers is the meekness that belongs to the hopeless. Murmur she. May, but it is in her sleep. I Nlisper she may, but it, is to herself in the twilight. Alutter does at times, but it is in solitary plata that, are desolate as she is desolate, in ruined cities, and. when the •sun has gone down to his rest. This sister is the. visitor of the Pa riah, of the Jeiv, of the bondsman to the oar in the Mediterranean galleys; of the English criminal in Norfolk Island, blotted 'out from the books of remembrance : in sweet far-off England; of the baffled penitent reverting his eyes forever upon a solitary grave,,which to him seems the altar overthrown of some past and bloody sacrifice, on which> altar no, oblations can now he availing, whethe.r to wards pardon that he might implore, or to wards reparatien that he might attempt. Every:slave that at noonday looks up to the tropical sun with timid reproach, as he points with one hand to the earth, our general mo ther' but for him a stop:mother,—as he points with the other hand to thiaßible, our general teacher, but against him sealed and seqUes tered ;—every. woman 'sitting in darkneSs, without love to shelter her head, or, hope to illumine he''r solitude, beeausethe henvep-born instincts kindling in her naturegernis of holy affections, which God implanted in her wo manly bciSoin, having : beat stifled by - :Social necessities, now burn sullenly to 'Waste; like sepulchral lamps amongst the ancients ; evety nun defrauded of her unretarning, May:time, by wicked kinsmen, 'Omni "God Will .;judge;. every captive in every dungeon ; all that are betrayed, and all that are - reyected ; Outcasts by traditionary law, and 'children of heredi tary disgrace,--all theie walk withOuriady. of Sighs. She also carries a key; but she needs it little. For her kingdom is chiefly amongst the tents of Shem,and the houseless vagrant of every clime. Yet in the very highest ranks of man she finds chapels of her own ; and even in glorious England there are some that, to the world, carry .'their heads as E prolidly f as - the reindeer, who yet secretlYhaVe received ;her mark upon their foreheads. But -the third sister, who is 'also the young est--! Hush ! whisper`whilst we talk of her. Her kingdom is not large, or else 'no flesh should live; but within that kingdom all power is hers. Her head, turreted like - that of Cybele, rises almost beyond the reach of sight. She droops not ; and her eyes rising: so high might be hidden by distance. But; being what they are, they cannot be hidden ; through the treble of crape which she Wears", the fierce light of "a blazing Misery, that rests not-foT matins or for vespers, for noon of day oriadon of night, for 'ebbing or for flowing tide,nlay be read from the very ground. Shelethe defier of God. She also is theTnother of lunacies, and the suggestress otsuicides. Deep lie the roots of her power - but narrow is the nation that she inks. For she can approach only those in. whom a pro fpundanature has been 'upheaved by 'central conviilsiOns ;Whom the heart trembles and the brain rocks under conspiracies of tempest from without and - tempest from within. Ma donna moves with 'uncertain' steps, fast or slow, but-still with tragic grace. Our Lady of Sighs creeps timidly and stealthily. But 'this youngest sister - Moves %With incalenlable motions, bounding, and with a tiger's leaps. She carries no key ; for, though coming rarely amongst men, she storms all-doers at which she is permitted to enter at all. And her name is Mater 7 i enebrarum,—Oar Lady of Darkness.—De Quincy. bun/mows, WHERE ARE THE WILBERFOROES ? Tap Times, in its notice of the Exeter:Hall demonstration ' asked : " Where are the Wil berforces ?" The ingenious and ingenuous journalist meant thereby to insinuate that the Wilberforces are really representatives of their honored father's opinions, and that if the American Government were really en gaged in putting down slavery, they would be among the foremost to praise and support it. But alas ! for the honored name. The Wilberforees of the present day are no more like the man who has made that 'name im 7 ,mortal, in anti- slavery sentiment, than in religious opinions; William Wilberforce was an .Evangelical Christian—a Methodist, in fact, in the langnage of his day, which called every earnest and practical Christian a Meth odist.. Of his four sons, Samuel, Bishop of Oxford, (commonly known as slippery Sam,) is the only one that remains in the Church of :England ; and he, as you are <well aware, has gone just as close to Rome as he could without sacrificing his high position. An other son, - formerly Archdeacon in the Church of England, joined the Papists, -and died at Rome five yearslige, while prepUring for oiders. Another give . up i`ben6fice in the Church of England, butlmillg a man of family, he could not become ditomish priest, and is now editor of the Weekly R eg i ster , a Romanist journal. The eldest son has just now followed his brothers in apostacy from Protestantism ; his perversion was yesterday announced in the Monde, a Romanist jour nal of Paris. The question of the Times, "Where are the Wilberferces?" is answered. —.Dr. Afeelintoek in the Methodist. INTERESTING DISUOVERT AT POIPEIL A Naples letter in G-alignani says: "A very interesting discovery has just been made by M. Fiorelli, the inspector of the excava tions at Pompeii. While digging at a depth_ from eight to ten feet the pickaxe stuck into a - little mass of coins and jewels. M. Morelli then continued' the excavation with the great est care, removing the earth grain by, grain, and, after some hours' labor, was rewarded by the discovery in the hardened ashes of the perfect mould of a man in a lying poSture, the skin of Which had dried up, biii the Skeleton remained intact. M. Fiorelli caused plaster of Piris to "be poured into the form of the Pompeiian, and, the casting succeeded per fectly, With!:the.exception of two fragment's of an arm and'a where" the mould was in complete. The ,oak' of the man is of' - the greatestprecisiOn ; the nionstiche, the hair, the'folds of the dressand the sandals are admirably defined. The famous question of the Thesaurum of Gronoviils and. GreSius is now decided, the RoMans did wear drawers. Also archaeologists will be delighted at dis coveringlhe Manner in which the ancients fastened their sandals, 'and at seeing the heel of a shoe completely protected with iron." MERICAN RECIUMOS. IN the report of the jurors in Class (Manufactures in Iron, Copper, and General Hardware,) at the recent Exhibition at Lon don, the superiority of the American machines is acknowledged; and the fact thatthe "Ame ricans are the only people ivho sho* any dis position to strike out into new paths for 'the production.of hardware;" or who haveintro dueed new tools and appliances for - the man ufacture of such article& In wood screws for carpenter's use, they acknowledge the superiority of those made in this country, as w(11 as that of machinery by which they are made, , ane the fact that not only has the quality been greatly improved by the use of our Machinery, but that the price has been reduced fully one-fourth, and the trade more` than doubled.
