"OH, CALL MY BROTHER BACK TO ME” “ Oh, call my brother back to me; I cad not play alone; The summer comes •with flower and bee; Where is my brother gone? “ The butterfly is glancing bright Across the sunbeam’s track; I care not now to chase its flight— Oh, call my brother back.” “He would not hear my voice, fair child; He may not come to thee; The face that once like spring time smiled, On earth no more thou’lt see." “And has he left his birds and flowers?

I can imagine angels bending from their starry homes to catch the plaint tremulous with maternal love, or weeping sad tears over the prodigal insensible to its appeal, for it comes from a heart wrestling with its grief as did Ja cob of old. He* who has a praying mother has half an heirship in heaven; he may wander far away; his feet may be bruised by the'rough Stumbling-blocks of vice and folly, but the still, small voice of prayer follows till it finds an echo in his heart, and the words he learned at a mother’s knee pass him into the fold of God. Think of this, mothers 1 Never weary, though your efforts have brought no fruition. He who sees the end from the beginning has marked your patience, and in His own good time will reward it. Never was the hour wasted that taught little children to lisp “Our Father.” Long years of sin and folly, can never wholly erase those childish lessons, or do'away with the re membrance- of a good mother’s teachings. Had Byron had a praying mother, his life had not become the wreck it was—imposing in its un equalled talenVgrand in native power, and yet a wreck; the mind that could sway nations by Its greatness of genius, itself unbalanced. “ Is that mother bending o’er me,” murmur the pale lips of the dying sdldier. He has read the Bible her thoughtful care provided, the prayer she taught has trembled on his pale lips, and amid the smoke and din of battle; the thought 11 Mother is praying for me” has nerved his hand for the encounter, and his heart to meet corning death; for somewhere on her :ptoees his mother is wrestling with God for him, !#nd 'his imperfect petition mingles with hers at ; the throne above. ’ Remember then, mothers, that eradle lessons are never forgotten. Better to send your boy armed with the shield of prayer, than give' him a fortune, unblessed by precept or example, to spend in self-indulgence. Give, him. the gen •tle, refining influences of a Christian home, the remembrance of achildhood embalmed in prayer, and leave the future in God’s hand. He will ■take up your unfinished work and perfect it in his own good time. -Many a soul has been saved by the hidden influence of a mother’s prayer. MARIETTE GTJYON. “ THEY WANT ME TO MAKE THE SIGN OP . THE CROSS.” ———s...»..o r oira wmu nann was tDere in making the sign of the cross? If the reader will get the “Life of Felix Neff, Pastor of the High Alps,” by Gilly, he will read that one day Neff met at Palons a little shepherdess, of twelve or thirteen years of age, who lived in the adja cent hamlet of Punayer with her grandfather and grandmother, who were Roman Catholics. Bbe. expressed great anxiety to be instructed in the gospel. She had no Protestant acquaintan ces. “Can you read?" said he. She burst intq tears and, exclaimed: “o,h if they would only Idfc me, come here to Sabbath-School, I should soon learn, but they tell me that I already knbw tod much.” By hearing conversations with sonrn converts, she had learned something of the difference between Romanists and Pro testants. She had no opportunity of meeting with him or improving herself. She kept her flook near a rooky path leading to the valley of Fressiniere. Whenever she saw a peasant pass she would accost him in her simplicity and ask: “ Where do you come from?” If he named a Catholic vil lage she let him pass on, if a Protestant she ap proached and enquired of him. Sometimes she would get Protestant children who were watching their flock, to bring their New Testaments and read to her. Homan Catholics watched her, which required her to be more cautious. In Spring she refused to go to mass. Her fatheriwfis appealed to, aWd threats were made if she did hot tell where she got “ those new ideas.” With great meekness she said to her father that God had put them in her heart. After con versing with, her he, said': “Who am I to.op pose myself to God." . “Some time after,” said Neff, “I was coming to Palons, and while stop ping near the bridge and cascade of Rimasse, I saw a floek of lambs which appeared to be hast ily driven towards us by a young shepherdess. . ! “Jt was Marietta, who recognized us at a dis tance, apd rain to us with breathless joy. She -was overjoyed at meeting me. I got Madeleine Pellegrino, who was with me, to watch her flock, while she told me what she had suffered for the: gospel, in so Christian and touching, a manner, that : l could‘hardly believe my ears, knowing that she did not know the letters of the alpha bet.” 1 “It is the evil spirit in me which tempts; me and gives me pain, and that I am too young and too feeble to persevere; but when I suffer most, then the good God supports me, and I fear nothing. They want me to make the sign offihe cross; they wish to drag me to mass, and be-• pause I,refuse, they beat me; and when they see that for the name of Christ I do not cry but re joice in his name, they become more furious and beat me more.”' One of her neighbors, a young shepherdess, .With whom she often kept her flock, went to the Protestant Sabbath* School for both of them, and taught Marietta the Verses from the Psalms and New Testament, which she learned at school. God blessed her and opened the way for her to attend the Protestant Church, and she gave every evidence of becoming a bright ornament of the gospel which, she embraced from strong convictions of its purity. p Two points mainly were put in her way to test her faith. I. “ They want me to make the sign of the cross’’. 11. “ They wish to drag me to moss. ; What ham can there be in making the sign' of the cross? Don’t ladies wear it upon their breasts and suspended from their necks ? Is it not a common thing for young men to wear breastpins in the form of a cross? Indeed is it not a common thing to place it upon churches, Will it not occasionally be useful? We ooce heard of a Homan Gafcholic going past the door of a church where there was a cross on the rpulpit. He entered the door, made his way to a convenient place, and went through the Pater nortw and Ave Marias. Was not that a good thing t He no doubt thought it a church worthy of his attention, but if he had known the truth what would he have thought and how his devo tion would have expanded itself in cursing the ohuroh which was trying to steal the sign of his flhureh. That old-fashioned writer Jude 23: 2. speaks of “ Hating even the garments spotted by the flesh,” and our old /writers and fathers felt that the use of the symbol of Rome, was rendering to Rome a reverence which no true Protestaut Christian can do. So of the masts, what harm is in it? We know it is all a fallacy —that the Priest cannot make the true body' and soul and blood of Jesus out of any wafer, that it is as grand a lie as over came from Satan, and because it is a lie, shall we encourage, counten ance, pay respect and reverence to it? We admire the simplicity and fidelity of this little shepherdess —and hope that more of her spirit may possess the minds, of so many in our day who are willing to wear the spot of Rome s filthy garments. Are we to understand when we meet a man or woman wearing these marks, that they are Papists ? Or are we to hold that they do it to show their contempt for Popery ? It is a vile attempt which Rome makes to get every weak-minded or thoughtless Protestant to wear it. What an argument it would have been against Mariette. if, when she went into the Sabbath-School or congregation of Neff, she had found a cross on the pulpit—crosses hung to the hecks of the Sabbath-School children—breast pins upon the men and women? Certainly if it is no harm to have them round necks, paint them on the pulpit, stamp them: on the Bible— there could be ho harm in Mariette making the sign of the cross. We know that Theologians have been wont to put it down among “ supersti tious devices.’’ See Larger Cateohism, 2nd com mandment. It seems scarcely worth the time to trouble the church about this superstition—-but I have been enquired of time, and again what objection can be made to its use in our churches. My impromptu answer is : I don’t like the spot of Rome. WASHINGTON’S PROCLAMATION. Having already published President Lin coln’s Proclamation, we give this week as a matter of historic interest, a,similar one by the first President of the United States.. BY THE PRESIDENT OP THE UNITED STATES — A PROCLAMATION. / When we review the calamities which afflict so many other nations, the present condition of the United States affords much matter of conso lation and satisfaction. Our exemption hitherto from foreign war, an increasing prospect of the continuance of that exemption, the great degree of internal tranquillity we have enjoyed, the recent confirmation of that tranquillity by the suppression of an insurrection which so wan tonly threatened it, the happy course of our public affairs in general, the unexampled pros perity of all classes of our citizens, are circum stances which peculiarly mark our situation with indications of tbeDivine beneficence toward us. In such a state of things, it is, in an especial manner, our duty as a people, with devout reverence and affectionate gratitude, to acknowledge our many' find-great obligations to Almighty God, and to implore him to continue and confirm the blessings we experience. Deeply penetrated with this sentiment, 1,- George Washington, President of the United States, do recommend to all religious societies and denominations and to all persons whomso ever within the United States, to set apart and observe Thursday, the nineteenth day of Feb bruary next, as a day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer; and on that day to meet together and render their sincere and hearty thanks to the Great Ruler of Nations for the manifold and signal mercies which distinguish our lot as a nation: Particularly for the possession of constitutions of government which unite, and, by their union, establish liberty with order; for the preservation of our peace, foreign and pression of. the late insurrection; and generally for the prosperous course of our affairs, public and private; and, at tbe sanje time, humbly and fervently to beseech the kind Author of these blessings, graciously to prolong them to us—to imprint on our hearts a deep and solemn sen'se' of our obligations to him for them ; to teach us rightly to estimate their immense value; to preserve us from the arrogance of prosperity, and from hazarding the advantages we enjoy by delusive pursuits *; to dispose ns to merit the continuance of his. favors by * not abusing them, by our gratitude for them, and by a correspondent, action as citizens and As men—to render this country more and more a Safe and propitious asylum for the unfortunate of other countries; to extend among us true and useful knowledge; to diffuse and establish habits of sobriety, order, morality, and piety: and, finally to impart all the blessings we possess or ask for ourselves, to the whole family of mankind.' . - : 1 1 s 1 testimony whereof I have caused | j the seal of the United States of Ameri ca to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand.

Washington, By the President, Edm. Randolph. , THE HORSE OF ROTHSCHILD. Among all the congresses, held this year, of princes, lawyers, musicians, schoolmasters, so cial-science men, political economists, and a hundred others, one very notable meeting has al most escaped .public attention. A few days ago a., congress of the members of the illustrious hqu.ae.of Rothschild was sitting at Paris. The purport of thq meeting was nothing less-than tofe-grrange the dominions of the great bank ing dynasty. / In one word, the great object of the Rothschild Congress was to reduce the five branches of the house who now rule 1 ' Europe to four, pud, following the example of'Garibaldi, to strike another sovereign of Naples from the list of. reignijrig monarchal Henceforth there., are to|be’t>ut four kings of the house of RJbths child, With secure thrones at London, Paris, and, Frankfort. It is now exactly a hundred years since a poor Jew, called Mayer Anslein; madfe his appearance at the city of Ha nover, barefooted, with a sack on his shoulder, and a bundle of rags on his back. Successful in trade, like most of, co-religionists, he re turned to Frankfort at the end of a few years, and set up a small shop in the “Jew Lane,” over which hung the sign-board of a red shield, called, in German, rothschild. As a dealer in old and rare coins, he made the acquaintance of the Serene Elector of Hesse Cassel, who, happening to be in want of a con fidential agent for various open and secret pur poses, appointed the sbrewd-looking Mayer Anslem to the post. The Serene Elector, being compelled, soon after, to fly his country, Mayer Anslem took charge of his cash, amounting to several millions of florins. With the instinct of his race, Anslem did not forget to put the mo ney out on good interest, so, that, before Napo leon was gone to Elba, and the illustrious Elec tor had returned to Cassel, the capital had more than doubled. The ruler of Hesse Cassel thought it;almost a marvel to get his money safely returned from the Jew Lane at Frank fort, and, at the Congress of Vienna, was never tired of singing the praise of his Hebrew agent to all the princes of Europe. The dwellers un der the sign of the red shield laughed in their sleeves, keeping carefully to themselves the great fact that the electoral two million florins brought them four millions of their own. Never was honesty a better policy. Mayer Anslem died in 1812, without having the supreme satisfaction of hearing his honesty extolled by kings and princes. He left five sons, who succeeded him- in the banking and %mrw iin f«ssfoftmM money lending business, and who, conscious of their social value, dropped the name or Anslem, and adopted the higher-sounding one , of Rothschild, taken from the sign-board over * the paternal house. On his death-bed, their father had taken a solemn oath from all of them , to hold his four millions well together, and they : have faithfully kept the injunction. But the old city of Frankfurt clearly was too narrow a realm for the fruitful sowing of four millions, ; and, in consequence, the five were determined, after a while, to extend their sphere of opera tions by establishing branch banks at the chief cities of Europe. The eldest son, Anslem, bom 1113, remained at Frankfort; the second, So lomon, bom in 1114, settled at Tienna; the third, Nathan, born in 1111, went to London; fourth, Charles, the enfant terrible of the fa mily, established himself in the soft climate of Naples; and the fifth and youngest, James, bom 1T92, took up his residence at Paris. Strictly united, the wealth and power of the five Rothschilds, was vested in the eldest-born; nevertheless, the shrewdest of the sons of May er Anslem,»and the heir of his genius, Nathan, the third son, soon took tbe reigns of'govern mept into his own hands. By his faith in lington and the flesh and muscle of British sol diers, be nearly doubled the fortune of the fa mily, gaining more than a bullion sterling by' the sole battle of Waterloo, the news of which he carried to England two days earlier than the mail. The weight of the solid millions gradually transferred te ascehdanceynri the fa mily froth Germany to England, making Lon don the metropolis of the reigning dynasty of Rothschild. Like the royal families of Europe, the members of the house of Rothschild only intermarry each other. James Rothschild married the daughter of his brother Solomon; his son Edward, heir-apparent of. the French line, was united'to his first cousin, the daughter : of Lionel, and granddaughter of Nathan Roths child ; and Lionel again—M. P. for London— gave his hand, in 1836, to his first cousin Char lotte, the daughter of Charles Rothschild, of Naples: It is unnecessary to say that, although these matrimonial alliances have; kept the millions wonderfully together, they have not improved the race of old Mayer Anslem, of the red shield. Already, signs of physical weakness are becoming visible in the great family. So, at least, hint the French.papers in their meagre notiees about the Rothschild Congress at Paris. From all that can, be gathered out of a wilder ness of canards, ■—thin faces and thick fiction. It appehrs that the sovereign princes of tbe Stock Exchange met in conference for the,dou ble purpose of centralizing their money power and widening their matrimonial realm. In other words, the five reigning kings, descend ants,‘according to the law of primogeniture, of the five sons of Mayer Anslem, came to the de cision to reduce their number to four, by cutting “off the Neapolitan branch of Charles .Roths child, while it was likewise decided that per mission Should be given to the younger mem bers of the family to marry, for the benefit of the race, 1 beyond the range of first cousinship. ;What has led to the exclusion of the Neopo litan line of Rothschild seems to have been the constant exercise of a highly blameable libera lity unheard of in the annals of the family. Charles, the prodigal son of Mayer Anslem, ac tually presented, in, the year 1846, 10,000 du cats to the orphan-asylum of St. Carlo, at Na ples, and the son and heir of Charles, Gustavus, has given: repeated signs of his inclination to follow in the footsteps of his father. Such con duct, utterly unbecoming the policy of the house of Rothschild, could-not be allowed to pass unnoticed, and, acccqrdingly, we quote.the rumor of Paris journalism—the decheance. of the Neapolitan line has been pronounced. However, Baron Gustavus de Rothschild is not to retire into private life, like famous Charles V., with only a cassock on his shoulders and a —I -j mu iJtiinqpuquTo-TBTiG WCU' lUTfl'K!?' with him a small fortune of 150,000,000 francs, or about six millions sterling—a'mere eruinb from the table of the descendants of poor May er Anslem, who wandered shoeless through the electorate of:good King George the Third. It is certain; that no romance of royalty is equal jto the romance, of the house of Rothschild.— London Globe. ' ■ BARON TRENCH AND HIS MOUSE, Laden with chains,.and in a horribly dun-; geon in the Fortress .of Magdeburg, Trenek contrived to make himself thefriend of a utile mouse. It would eat of the mouldy of the prisoner, and was constantly playing with him. One night the little quadruped skipped about so much that the noise attracted atten tion. The town-major ai-rived inconsequence, early in the .morning, accompanied by lock smiths apd, masons. ' The floors, the walls, the baron’s Chains, his body—every thing, in short, was strictly examined. Finding lall in order, they asked the cause of the last evening’s bus tle. Trenek had heard the mouse, and told them frankly by what it had been occasioned. Th.ey. desired him to call his little favorite. He whistled, and the mouse immediately leaped upon his shoulder. He solicited that its life might be spared, but the officer of the guard topk it into his posfession, promising, however, on his word of honor, to give it to a lady who would take great care of it. Turning it after ward loose in bis chamber, the mouse, who knew nobody but Trenek, soon disappeared; and hid itself in, a hole. At the usual hour of visiting his prison, when the officers were just gciing away, the poor little animal darted in, climbed up his legs, seated himself on his shoulder, and played a thousand tricks to ex press the joy it fell on seeing him again; "Every one was astonished, and wished to have it. The major, to terminate, the dispute, earned it away and. gave it to bis wife, who had a light cage made for it; but the mouse refused to eat, and a few days after was fou*nd dead. - A NATION OF PIGMIES 'ln the bay of Bengal, on the very high road of [-commerce. is a group of islands thickly covered 1 with impenetrable jungle, and swarming with I leeches in the rainy, and ticks in the dry season. ; Except a species of pig, until recently unknown i to science, there are no wild animals that offer any molestation to man; but; to make up for this deficiency, the human inhabitants are amongst . the most savage and hostile that voyagers have ever encountered: They may truly be termed a nation of pigmies, being on an average only four feet five inches high, and weighing from seventy to seventy-five pounds; but they are well-propor tioned, and display an agility and. nimbleness trply wonderful. . Their skin is dark, though not black as-that A)f the negro, and their faces decidedly ugly. They go entirely naked, shave the hair off theitfhead with pieces of bamboo or brokeu bottle, and" further increase their un _sightly appearance by daubing tb'ehiselves alj over with a-mjxture of red ochre,aud oil; or covering their persons towards nightfall with a thick coating of soft mud, to serve as a protection against the mosquitoes, with which, in addition to the leeches and ticks, they seem to be tor mented the whole.year round. : They are excel lent swimmers, taking to the water almost before they can walk; and they rely upon.the sea for the prinoipal supply of their food-—tin-ties; oys ters, and fish.- Remarkable Occurrence.— A negro cook in one of the regiments on Morris Island lately conceived the idea of making sinkers for fish lines out of the lead around Parrott shot. To this end he placed a shell in a stove and sat down, ladle iu hand, to eateh the molten lead as it fell. Just about the time the lead should have fused, the stove separated into very minute fragments, and the last seen of the. smelter was a series of involutary gymnastics creditable to his agility .but unpleasant from-their abruptness.

They rapidly spread until they formed aloathsome and virulentsore, which covered his face; and actually blinded his eyes for some-days. A skilful physician applied nitrate of sliver, and other remedies, without any apparent ■ effect. . For fifteen days we guarded his hands, lest withthem he should tear open the festering and cor rupt wound which covered his whole face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began giving your Sarsaparilla, and applying the iodide of potasn lotion, as you direct. The sore began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and was well when we had finished the second. The child’s eyelashes, which had come out, grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair as any other.

I have for years, at times, been troubled with great disorder in my head and nervous system, I was advised by a friend to try a bottle of your German Bitters. £ did so, aqd have experienced great and unexpected relief.

Although sot disposed to fevor or recommend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingredients and effects; I yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes himself to have received from any simple"preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. X do this more readily in regard to Hoofland’s German Bitters, pre» pared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because X was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. lam indebted to my friend Robert Bhoefrnaker, Esq* for the removal of tills prejudice by proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great end long-continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief; and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigorwhich I had not felt for rix months before, and had almost despaired of regaining.
