Tilt BABY ON Tug iiNtiN STEPS. NEARLY two kindred' years agn, people p ',ming by one of the prisons in England, might have seen, on any warm sunny day, a 'woman seated on the stone steps with a baby in her arms. It was apoor , feeble little thing , and those v,ho loCked` attentively' at it used to think that it would= never live to grow up to repay the care its mother bestowed upon it. Her heart was very sad, as she sat there rocking her baby in her arms, trying, to still its feeble cry, for her husband was shut up in those gloomy walls, and it was but seldom that the'keeper of the prison would allow her to see him. But you must not think that he was a wicked man; becaute he was a prisoner : in 'those days people were, put in'prison as viten , for loving the truth as for committing crimes. The king of England • and his Parliament had passed •a law that persons must not meet, together to*orship God in any other place than the churches which they established ; laid that no one must preach> unless they give him permission. Many of the people thought this law un just, and would not obey it ; so they had: meetings of their own where they ceuld hear the Word of God truly explained by godly .mien. Thesemeetings'mule the- government very angry, and the people who were found attending them were put in prison. This baby's father was one of those who had been found at these meetings, and so he was in prism' ;with many _ethers. 'ATter menthe 'Of imprisonment, during which time the baby ,and his mother were constant in their visits to the prison, the father was released, but he was , obliged to leave the Qgurttry, and so for many years was separated from his family.. Still the little puny • baby lived and grew, though very slowly. Almost as soon as he could speak, he would go to his mother, with any money which had been given him, and say : ' 44 A,book buy me a •book 1" Ills mother taught him from the Bible, and he early learned to love the Saviour. When he was only seven years old, he com menced to write verses. His mother had some doubt whether some verses Which she found in his handwriting were really his ; so to prove that he could write them, he com posed an acrostic on his name. I will give you the last verse, that you may know of whom you have been reading; for if you take the first letter of each line you can forna his name : ' "Wash me in Thy blood, 0 Christ I And grace divine impart Then search and try the corners of my heart That I, in all things, may be fit to do Service;Jo Thee, and. sing Thy praises too. " f Not, very good:poetry, you will say, but then you know he was only seven years old, and he wrote better verses afterward, as you all know, if you have read his name, for it is the same Isaac Watts who has written so many of the hymns you learn to sing., It was not until he was quite old that he wrote' those, lowever, for his early yew were chiefly spent in study. Indeed, his father did not approve of 'his' verse-makink, for after he was permitted to come liome, he took. charge of his sorrs- education. One day he Wad. about to punish him for making verses 'When' he should have been studying, when - Isaac, stopped him by saying: " 0 father t do some pity take, And I will no more verses make," He kept his word, and wrote very little until he left school. - His health was always delicate, and though he studied for the ministay, he was ,abie to preach but little—most of his time was spent in writing. He had a delightful home in a small village, a short distance from Lon don, in the house of Sir Thomas Abney. He went to spend a few weeks, and, he remained there thirty-six years. For the delicate in fant, whom no one thought would live to be a year old; lived to be seventy-five years of age. • . And his mother, by her tender care of him, was probably the means of sparing the life of the greatest hymn-writer the world has ever known. I dare say that you will find that some of the hymns you love best to sing were written by him. Such as "There is a land of pure' delight;" or "When I can read my title clear ;" as well as many others, which you will find in your hyntri books. lle was quite an old man when he wrote the "Divine and Moral Songs for Children,"' which have been published in every form, from little paper books to handsomely illustrated volumes, bound) in gilt. , I 'wonder` if he thought of the tune` of C. F. A., Archaohon. which his mother had told him, when she used to sit with him in her arms on the pri son-steps, when he wrote the cradle-hymn : " Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber!" Very likely he had been walking in the garden attached to the house where he lived so many years, when he wrote the hymn : " How doth the little busy bee ;" or bad just returned from the streets of Lon don, when be wrote : " Whene'er I take my walks abroad, How many poor I see." He has been for,inany yd - tt‘ I's. now singing the praises of God, in. far more beautiful 'strains than he ever thought of here, and still his words are used in 'the devotions of thousands, who hope to join him in singing the new song in our Father's house above.— Orman/ma s Sunshine, published by Carter. GEORGE W. BAILEY, THE DEAF AND DUMB AND BLIND PUPIL BY WIrI. CDAPIN, PRINCIPAL OF THE, PENNA. INSTITUTION FOR TUB BLIND. GEORGE W. BAILEY, who has been a re gular inmate of the Pennsylvania Institution for the: Blind since April, 1860, was * born in June, 1846, and had full possession of all his senses for about four and a half years. An attack of Scarlet fever left him blind, and soon after he became deaf also., In the summer of 1852, he spoke distinctly for the.. last time. Since then he has been cut oft from all communication with others except by the touch. I became acquainted with his case early in;1855, and with - the co-operation of a bene volent gentleman of this city, commenced the work of . his mental and physical train ing. The experiment was commenced at his own home. His mother was then living. A young lady, Miss Cornwell, was engaged as teacher, to spend a few hours dailywithlim. She thuvelescribes him on her first visit, April 16th, 1855. ".When I entered the. house, George was sitting on the settee with shoes and stock ings off, biting his toes, and making a fright ful noise. I saw he was enraged, and learn ed that he had broken the rocking-chair by daihing it against the wall, and had been punished by his mother.. Lwent to him, and taking one of his hands, caressed it soothing ly ; he soon became quiet." nis• characteristic habits at that time are described on her next visit. , " April 17th. To-day I sat some time watching George, before I made my ;pre sence known. 'He moves fearlessly about the rooms to which he is accustomed. His sole amusement seems to be in:romping; he turns himself swiftly around, extending his arms, tumbles about the floor, puts his feet toge ther and jumps backward and forward over the door-sill, jumps off the chairs,_ or turns himself over the arm of the settee, and seems to have invented a set `of gymnastics of his own, for his amusement..". She thus described his eating: '"He eats by putting his food in his mouth almost as fast as his two hands will carry it there, us, ing no knife, fork,' nor spoon; and finally lifts his plate and licks it." Thie wes ! th,e . rough, .I,,tntame,d, animal na ture to be subdued, trained, and if poigible, taught. It- was at this time impossible to decide whether his mind was rational or idiotic. His first exercises were of the simplest kind. Raving excited a degree of fondness for his teacher, by, her orsevering, gentle attentions, combined with presents of such things as he liked, and extended the bounda ries of' his little' world by out-door walks, she gradually gained his attention to her proper work. The first short lesson was in winding cotton on a spool. The novelty of the work pleased him, and for the time it was a pleasant occupation. The next was string ing beads, of which he became very fond, after several difficult efforts to effect it. But all this, while it afforded him short seasons of diversion, and was really the introduction of a system of regular occupation was sein e ply mechanical. There was nothing to in-, dicate a rational mind. The next step was to give him 'beads of two different sizes, and to induce to string them alternately. This was found to be very difficult, and' after repeated failures to make him comprehend the idea, it was at, last successful. His teacher thus records her satisfaction " Sept. 21st. I was rejoiced to-day. My poor little boy comprehends alternating the beads. He carefully selected first a large, then a small bead, until there were no more." This incident, at that early period of his history, was encouraging. The attempts made to teach him letters were not very gym cessful. His health was not good, andlhe was soon ,wearied with everything-which; he could not comprehend. On the death of his widbwed mother, the little family of four children were scattered; George to the Alnashouse, a brother to Girard. College, a sister to Mrs. Burd's Orphan Asylum, and an infant child to one of the Homes, whe :has since been idoPted l into a. ,private Aninteresting little memoir of George was by one of the : pupils of our Instttu _don, is Eliza. Osborn,which wes,attended with happy results. It awakened ; a`-warm' interest in his, case, and „through the, active agency ofAn. estimable lady,.Miss.Anna.,ll. Shaw, means , were „provided - for a special teacher, on• his admission into the Pennsyl vania Institution for the Blind. Miss Jane 8., Br - OW - rib, a;young lady well qualified by her gpneleneas, firtnnees, and perseverance for thl paculiar charge, was appointed. The first entry in her journal explains his condition atllkis time, and how much had been lest . ita theOterval. "April 24th, 18611 Gaorge came to the Institution after an abse*e, of three yeari. He seems to have-iorgotteivaii h e ever knew, eats Unnaturally, and walkseawkwerdly. He has a great propensity to break and tear," He was at times exceedingly violent and self-willed, exhibiting the' traits of a wild, unsuhdued animal. Wheriever displeased, he was most destructive upOn 'the bedding, glass, crockery, anything . , within reach. , It was evident that much of the former work was to be done over. He must be reduced. to Obedience and habits of, restraint, ,and to thief Misa Browne energetically-andpatient ly applied herself. The most gratifying change has been effected. He is now tender and affectionate to those who are kind to him. He is clean and tidYiratis habits and dress. Instead otcrallatningrhlsifotetinteehiseno u th with both hands as formerly, he uses a knife and fork, and when through, lays them with his folded napkin besides hieiplate. His suffering from an agate ana painful disease- in the throat, and the difficulty . of confining- his attention tb anythifig but abut wlliAlakes his fancy, have prevented muc ~ ..., A l i ttr iritit gt:tob..-Ittlan:4.'t,'*tititOtt. (6!ritigtittit success thus far in teaching him language. He has, however, acquired the use of many words,—the names of familiar things,—as knife, fork, spoon, beads, &c. The hope of his acquiring language is never abandoned. His lessons are brief; having due reference to his health and comfort. It is impossible in the present stage of his intellectual development, to know what may be the extent of his idea of a Supreme Be ing, but it was gratifying to notice, on spell ing the name God -by the hand alphabet, and pressing him to kneel, that he continued kneeling for several minutes, his hands placed together as in silent prayer ; and that when ever the same word is spelled, he assumes a kneeling posture as in prayer. He also kneels by his bedside every night before retiring to rest. May he not' when a child, before the loss of sight and hearing, have been taught by his pions mother to lisp a - prayer - to God, and this simpleagsociation have revived the earliest sacred; qinpreSsions 'on his' Infant heart ? While the effort'to teach George language has 'far been' on' IY partially successful, he has exhibited retharkatile talent in ano ther way. He has shown powers of construc tion, and a genius for, architectural - drawing, if it may be so called,. trulyoriginal. He has made -up almost. without instruction, many articles of bead work, copies of baskets, pitchers, vases, &c., in the most skilful and beautiful manner. • But-curious-as , are-these specimens of MS handiwork, his genhis for drawtng buildings is more remarkable land dithcult of explana tion. These drawings are made by movable types on the slate-frames used by ,the Blind. The slate contains square holes over the en •tire surface,-in—which—continuous- lines may be formed by the types. ..11e buildings are genera* of the`x Gat,hid br'English 'cottage style, with pointed gables, sometimes pre -senting the facade of a Gothic church, -or 'other public building. The symmetry and proportions of these structures are correct. Of some thirty drawings, no two are alike. The work is to him a pleasant pastime. Ile will be earnestly , engaged on a plan.for several days, durink which he allows no in terference. Every interruption, disconcerts him, and if the drawing is,m*ldled with, he sometimes destroys it alttether. As these drawings require corresponding spaces and proportions, it is certain that the general plan must be conceived in his mind before its commencement. The method of counting required by the spaces on the slate is his own, and not easily•explained. George often exhibits humor. He is fond of playing tricks, and enjoys a little fun. After the Doctor had sounded, his lungs one day, he took the kitten on his lap, and soun ded her in the same way, laughing heartily. He delights-to lock his teacher in a room when Ire gets a chance. Keys have to be secured when; he approaches. He played this trick, upon. himself recently, by getting into•a closet, and locking the door in the in side. In attempting to unlock the door, he, broke the. ling of the key, which left him helpless. Supposing him to be amused with his situation, no attempt was made to re lieve him for two hours, when I had the lock broken, and poor George was in a bad plight. Failing to get out, he had beconie excited, and-tern every- shred: . -of ' , clothing- from' - his bedy. One of his lady benefactors presented him with a chest of tools, in the use of which he takes great delight. He is fond of boring and tinkering, and for several days he sought the closet where he had immured himself, unscrewed the broken lock, and labored for hours to mend and restore it. This ,he has repeated often. He amuses hiniself sometimes in cutting a newspaper into 'a long fringe-likerne, many yards in length, and of curious fantastic pat terns. He recently examined a watch and chain, and immediately prepared a chain for a toy watch of his own, by twisting Wire into a tolerable imitation. George is never idle if well. He is engaged on his slate drawing, or at bead work, taking a lesson in the man ual, alphabet, or playing with his blocks, building all manner of houses, sewing on his own buttons, mending rents, &c, b i emg con stantly engaged in some way. The following extracts from MisS 'Bro*Ue's journal will exhibit his condition, and the change that her persevering and mild treat ment has wrought under such trying and difficult circumstances. "'The first few months after George be came an- inmate - of the Institution; *ere spent in taming the wild, wayward boy, during which I had received many blows, scratches, kicks; bites, and torn garments. . . . But have, had the pleasure of morelhan'accotn plishiog my expectations. He is now like a child eight years old,—so perfectly gentle, affectionate, and trustful has he become." AnOther striking''improveiiiene haS'been -the great change in his habits,; from being most offensive, he has become perfectly clean and regular in ,his habits. neatness in eating- and dress is scrupulously nice... — . in the mornihg he : washes and dresses himself with as much care and precision as others. His mental facilities have developed as rapidly as the phYtical, although an invalid:" " Ile ‘learnathe letters which the P;linchige and the 'manual 'alphabet, and understands qiiite - a number of words, by my spelling - theta out for him, such as get hat,' get cane,' 'new hoots,' &c. Ile does what I call for in , ticis waY." " What 'a Change has taken place from wild and rdcklesabeing, to a patient, and obedient boy. At first, it was impossi ble to keep him quiet. five minutes ; now he will sit at his lesson or work for half an, hour or more. Patience and gentle treatment have eared' lgs change. He is very happy, full of tun, and enjoys playing tricks, such A — fastening. the, doors,Tiding seine article of cloth'ing, aritrthenlie will laugh'iV think he liaa done- something. funny. . .He likes to *tit oh himself, and is fond of being dressed well.

Of these the pilot-fish is 'an example, and an anecdote illustrating' its peculiar instincts is here appended : "In thee month of IYlay, 1797; the ship wilich b a ore the celebrated French zoologist; M., Geaffey, was lying becalmed between Cape Bon and the island , of Malta, when'the ennui of the passengers was dissipated by the ap proach of ashark.
