110 tatuilg Tingt SHADOWS, When the children are hushed in the nursery, And the swallow sleeps in the eaves, And the night-wind is murmuring secrets Apart to the listening leaves ; Then I open the inner chamber That was closed from the dust of day, And gently undraw the curtain Where my holiest treasures lay. Sweet spirits that may not slumber; Cool shadows from lights now gone; And the echo of voices sounding, All sounding for MO alone. And, blending among the others, 000 echo is softer yet; One shadow is cooler, deeper ; And my dimming eyes grow wet. For the image I gaze on longest, Is the image ,that blessed my youth; The angel that lit my journey With her lamp of love and truth. We traveled life's way together A little while side by side ; And when I grew faint or weary, That light was my strength and guide And dearer it grew—how dearer Till I watched it wane and fade : And my angel said, as we parted, Be patient, be not afraid. And when I am sick and weary With the heat and the dust of the day, How the sense of her words comes o'er, me,— /ler words e'er she went away. And I ask for a patient wisdom, As I journey the way alone; Till I tread the golden threshold Of the heaven where she is gone. When the children are hushed in the nursery, And the swallow sleeps in the eaves, And the night-wind is murmuring secrets Apart to the listening leaves. —From Winter TVeavings. ISABELLA LAW. DOES GOD ANSWER PRAYER? AN ENCOURAGING WORD FOR CHRISTAIN MOTHERS. A few years since a Christian woman called at the house of a neighbor. It happeied that the conversation turned upon prayer. "Do you really believe, Mrs. H.," inquired the neighbor, " that God answers prayer ?" "Most assured ly," was the reply. "I believe God's promises are made in all sincerity." "I have just been reading," she continued, "the early life of Joseph Barker, and I - find much in that work to convince me that you are wrong. He states that his mother was very pious ; that she habit ually prayed with and for him, and that she , left no means untried to convince him that the Bible is from God, and to persuade him to adopt it as the guide of his life. You know the result. Here we see him a champion of infidelity, as you would call his disbelief in the Bible, armed for the fight with any antagonist that will meet him in the field; a proof, it seems to me, of .018 power of reason over the prejudices of education, and an evidence that the prayers of' his mother were of no avail," " My:friend, he may be converted yet; indeed, I think he 'Will be." That lady never saw Joseph Barker; yet after that she often thought and spoke of him; for a strangely sweet as surance that he would one day honor Christ with his lips and glorify him in his, life would frequently swell her bosom with emotion and fill her eyes with tears. Months, and even years passed by, and these circumstances and feelings were forgotten. It maybe imagined, then, with what a burst of joy she lately saw the announcement of this man's conver sion ; and how, like Paul, he now labors to disseminate the doctrines he was once so impatient to destroy. Yes, Christian mother ! God does answer prayers H. CONCEALING AND TELLING, BY MRS. PHGEBE H. PHELPS. "I find that our large Webster's Dictionary is torn," said the teacher, and he opened the book and showed one of the leaves torn from the top down wards nearly to the centre of the leaf. " Who tore it ? I have no idea that any one tore it on purpose, but I wish the person who was so careless or so unfortunate as to tear it, would have the openness or courage to confess it." Some of the children looked serious, some curious, but no one spoke. "Does any one know how this was torn;?" inquired the teacher, again show s , the torn leaf. Still no-answer; and the boys who eat near Robert Mills noticed that he trembled and turned pale when the teacher first showed the leaf, that he did not lift his eyes to look at it a second time, and that he neither looked with seriousness at the teacher nor with curi osity around the school-room, as most of the other scholars did, but turned his book nervously, and then bent closely over it, though he did not appear to be studying much. Lewis Storrs sat next him, and he felt sure from Robert's look and manner that it was he who tore the book. He pitied him very much, as he seemed un comfortable, and wished he would look up, and confess that he had torn it, with honesty and courage. But poor Robert sat in silent misery. "Why don't, he tell?" thought Lewis. ‘. The master won't punish him. He Won't even scold him:, He'll only charge him to be more careful in the future. why don't he tell?" And ourely why didn't Robert tell? Because he was not an open-hearted, ',courageous, brave boy. He was given to secrecy, concealment. He was natu rally shy, silent and timid. Oh, how foolish in him not to tell, and have the whole matter ended at once, and for all ! Nobody would then have thought the worse of him. They felt Sure from his appearance that he tore the book, and thought it mean and cowardly in him not to own it, but to let suspicion rest on any one among them upon whom it might happen to fall; they thought it very cowardly, since no punishment, and probably little blame would follow the confession. As Robert and Lewis were walking home after school, Lewis said to Robert, "Why, Robert, didn't you tear that book?" Robert said nothing. He did not like to tell a lie, though he sometimes told one from lack of manliness to tell the truth. "Why, I knew you tore the dictiona ry," continued Lewis, "just as well as if you'd owned it, and so did the other boys; I heard them say so." " You didn't know any such thing," answered Robert. "We knew it from your look and manner, Robert. And I'm sure I'd have told of it if I'd been you. It's so much better to tell a thing right out." "If I'd only done it," said Robert, beginning to lie. "But you know you did do it, and you ought to have owned it, so that the master may not blame the wrong one." " I don't know any such thina; and I ought not to own what I didn't do," said Robert, growing more false. "Oh, Robert !" exclaimed Lewis, and then added, "we had better not say any more about it . now_,-" for he per ceived that he was . doing Robert no good; he was only leading him further into sin. So the boys walked the rest of the way in silence, Robert wretched enough. He was full of sorrow and guilt and shame. He had torn the dictionary by accident while hastily turning the leaves in search of a, word, and had felt very unhappy on account of it ever since Had he gone to the teacher at once, and told him of the fact, it would soon have ceased to trouble him. But he thought no one had seen him tear the book ; no one but himself would ever know he tore it, and what need was there that he should tell it ? So he carried his secret in his own breast, and it was very heavy there, and very wearying, and he grew very tired of it. He wished, oh, how he wished that he had been more careful and not torn the dictionary! He wished he had never gone near it to look out a word, he wished there had been no dictionary in the school; but what is strange, is, that he never wished the one right thing, namely, that he had gone to the teacher and confessed what he had done, at once. He had said to himself, at first, that no one would know that he had done it, and yet he was constantly afraid it would be found out. Whenever a scholar con sulted .the dictionary, he felt an unde fined terror; whenever the teacher opened it, he felt as if he was about to be convicted. Whenever he spoke to the teacher, or went near him, he had a painful feeling, as if he had wronged him. When, at last, the accident was discovered, and the teacher inquired its author, his misery was extreme, and he could not conceal it from the boys near him. The teacher perceived it also, though he said nothing. He went home, ready to sink with such a weight of misfortune and mean ness and sin and shame. But he tried to carry it, to struggle along with it, to wear it off, to forget it, to make others forget it. In vain. Sin never grows less by being concealed, and it cannot be forgotten. There is but one remedy, one cure for it, the blood of the pitying, merciful. Saviour. There was a rule in the school where Robert and, Lewis went, forbidding whispering during study hours. Not very long after the matter of the dic tionary, Lewis broke the rule. Re whis pered to Robert, and Robert answered. The teacher saw Robert whispering, though he had not •seen Lewis. He spoke to Robert. " You were whispering, Robert. I must mark you. as 'disorderly' !" Robert was going to excuse himself. "Not a word, Robert. I saw you whispering, myself. You were speaking without permission, and there can be no excuse." Robert hung his head in silence and sorrow, for those who were marked "disorderly," had no chance for a-cer tificate of merit at the end of the school term. Lewis turned to the teacher. "If Robert is 'disorderly' I am so too ; I spoke to him first." "Then I will mark you 'disorderly,' also said the teacher. T " he scholars looked up from their books, their countenances expressing their admiration of Lewis. Lewis turned to his, satisfied with his confession; it was just, and manly. He studied on, as well as ever. His conscience was clear; he carried no burden ; there was nothing to drag him down, no guilt, nor shame. While going home from school with Robert, as usual, Robert said to him : "Why, what made you tell, Lewis ? You needn't ha.ve told that you were whispering. I shouldn't have told of you. l, "Do you suppose I would be so mean as to sit and playiinnocent, when I was PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, - APRIL 7, 1864. more guilty than you—when I had led you into trouble ?" "But who would have known it ?" " I should : and I like to have my own good opinion. I feel the worst when I despiSe myself. I hate to feel that I have been mean or base, or in any way false. I'd rather be flogged at any time." "You have lost your certificate by telling." "I'm sorry for that, but I can bear it. I'm far more sorry, though, that you've lost yours. The teacher don't often mark 'disorderly' for whispering, and I'm in hopes he'll excuse you. I'm going to ask him to do so, as soon as I have a good chance." The very next day Lewis did as he said. A good chance offered and he ap pealed to the teacher in behalf of Rob, ert. He obtained the erasure of his mark of disgrace. Not a word, however, did he say for himself; perhaps hiS Un selfishness was the main influence Which moved the teacher to grant his request. Again the boys had a private talk on their way from school: " The master has taken off your dis orderly mark, Robert," said Lewis. "Did von ask him to ?" "Yes." " Did he take off yours, too ?" " I didn't say anything to him about mine. I didn't care so much about that as about yours.", " How kind and noble you are, Lewis. But how did you dare to speak to the teacher about it ?" " There was nothing to make me afraid." " I wish I was as brAtve as you are, Lewis." "You can be. " How?" "By always trying to 'do what is right, and when you've done wrong, confessing it at once and doing better. It's • the open, out-and-out way of doing things that rnakes a boy brave. A fellow ain't much afraid of anything, when he keeps a clean breast." Robert was silent. He was in thought. Lewis suspected that he was thinking of the dictionary matter.: "What now, Robert," he said; "what troubles you ?" "I did tear that dictionary, Lewis." " Well, I'm glad that you own it." "I've always been sorry that I denied it to von." " I've been sorry, - too, but I'm glad you own it now." " I've wished a great many times that I'd never seen that dictionary." " The dictionary was not in fault. The trouble was in yourself, and the dic tionary merely brought it to light." " What can 1, 1 do, Lewis ? . I've been so unhappy about that tkok that I havn't known what to . do." "Why don't you tell the teacher; all about it, clear up the matter and end it? I would." "I'm afraid I can't." "Of course you can. Make up your mind to the thing, and do it. Do it to-morrow. The sooner you do it the better." "I wish you would 4o it for me." " It would be much the best way for you to confess your fault yourself." " Will you go to the teacher with me, then ?" " Yes 7 that I'll do, willingly." When the time had come for Robert to go to the teacher, his courage failed him, and he wanted to wait till another time. But Lewis urged him to go then; and, taking him by the arm, went with him to the teacher's desk. At this, Robert was too embarrassed to speak. Lewis opened the way for him. " Robert wishes to speak with you," he said to the teacher. The teacher listened, and Robert told all; told of the accident; his conceal ment of it, and his falseliood ; -" made a clean breast," as Lewis expressed it. He told also how Lewis had brought him to make this confession. • What a relief to Robert ! He was like another boy. " I am glad you have confessed your fault," said the teacher. " You would have saved yourself great suffering had you done it sooner. 'He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsakeih them shall'have mercy.' And thank God that you have so faithful-a friend as Lewis. Cherish his friendship." Turning to Lewis, he. added : " I admire your courage and open-heartedness, Lewis. 'He that re buketh a man, afterward shall find more favor than he who flattereth with the tongue.' "—National guard. THE OSTRICH NURTURE. It is just now beginning to be asserted by some, that the true principle of train ing for children is exactly that of :the ostrich, viz : no training at all; the best government, no government. All endeavors to fashion them by the_ pa rental standards, or to induct them into the belief of their parents, is alleged to be a real oppression put upon their natu ral liberty. It is nothing less, it is said, than an effort to fill them with prejudi ces, and put them under the sway of prejudices, all their lives long. Why not let the child have his own way, think his own thoughts, generate his own principles, and so be developed in the beauty and freedom of the flowers ? Or, if he should sometimes fall into bad tempers and disgraceful or uncomely practices, as flowers do not, let him learn how to correct himself; and be righted by his own discoveries. _ Hav ing thus no artificial conscience formed to hamper his natural freedom, no'leli gious sernplee mad ouporstitionsinoulea- ted to be a detention, or limitation, upon his impulses, he will grow up Is a genu ine character, stunted by no cant or af fectation ; a large-hearted, liberal, origi nal, and beautiful soul. This kind of nurture supposes,_ evi dently, a.faith in human nature that is total and complete. As the mother os trich might be supposed to reason, that her eggs are ostrich's eggs, and must therefore produce genuine ostriches and. nothing else, so it assumes that human children will grow up, left to themselves, into the most genuine, highest style of human character. hereas it is the misery of , human children that, as free beings, answerable for their choices and their Character, and already 'touched with evil, they require some. training, over and above the mere indulgences of their natural instincts. They cannot be left to merely blossom into' character; or, if they are, it will most assuredly be any sort of character 'but that which parental love - would desire. What they most especially want is, what no .ostrich or mere animal nurture can give ; to be pre-occupied with holy principles and laws ; to have prejudices instilled. that are holy prejudices ; and-so to be temp ered beforehand by moderating and guiding influences, such as their perilous freedom and hereditary damage require. How unnatural and monstrous, there fore, is that scheme of nurture which requires it of parents to pass nothing, or as little as possible, to their children. If they have learned wisdom, they are not -to inculcate that wisdom lest it should create a prejudice ! If they have found their conscience and the principles of virtue, to be their truest friends and. the best guardians of their life, they are not to hamper their chil dren by subjecting_ kem to the same ! If they have found 'the principal joys that freshen life, in God and the faith of his Son, they are still to let their . chil dren find their own sources of strength and joy for themselves, and not to train them, or indoctrinate, them in such ways of blessing, lest perchance they be ; not sufficiently original and free in their de velopment ! Why, if they were to dis cover mines and hide the discovery for ever, or acquire immense treasures of property appointing them by their will to be sunk in the sea, leaving their chil dren in utter destitution, they would not be as false to their office of parent age ! God has given it to them, as ia -tional creatures, to transmit all possible benefits to their offspring. And what shall they more carefully transmit than what is valuable above every thing else, their principles and their piety ?—Dr. Bushnell. THE DYING LITTLE PREACHER A tract vistor in the city of New York induced two little boys who were play ing in the street one Sabbath day, to go with her to the Sunday School. After a:short time the younger brother became sick. He had been a very attentive scholar, and now as he lay upon his sick bed and thought of the truths he had been taught, he repented of his sins and believed on Christ the blessed Saviour. As soon as God had changed the heart of this dear boy, he was very anxious that his parents:might become good people. Seeing that his mother was very much pleased with a new carpet and some other pretty things she had been buying, he said : 111 y dear mother, what good will all these things do you, if you die and are lost forever ?" The . day on which he died •Was the Sabbath. The little boy asked to see his father, and was told his father had gone'to take a pleasure ride. Soon after this the father returned. The child called him to his bedside and asked him : " Will you promise me one thing, father ?" "Perhaps.l will," was the reply. Looking steadily into the face of his conscience-stricken parent, the boy, said " This is the holy Sabbath. Will you promisee me, my dear father, you will not any more ride out for pleasure on the Sabbath day ?" The father hesitated to give'an answer. The child, hardly able any more to speak, whispered': " I am dying but I cannot die until you promise me." It was enough. The father could no longer refuse. He gave the desired promise, and with a smile upon his face, the dying little preacher breathed his. last. The promise thus given was kept. A pew was hired in a neighboring church. The parents, once so careless, became serious church-going people. There is reason to believe the words of their sainted boy will not only induce them to keep the Sabbath, but to give their hearts to Christ, and will lead them and their other children to heaven.--Chris tian Intelligencer. • A CHILD'S FAITH. A little boy some four years of age, whom we will call Charley, while play ing one day near an open hatch-way, accidentally fell in, and but for a basket of shavings which fortunately stood be neath, would probably have been killed. The family were quite impressed by his providential escape, and frequent allu sions were made to it during the day. At night, after. Charley had been put to bed and left by himself, his little voice was heard in prayer. In tones full of faith and love, the little fellow poured out his heartfelt petition—" Oh! God, please-keep that cellar door shut, but if you cant't do that, won't you al ways keep a basket of sha.yiugs there?" PACKING OF THE LEAF BUD. The gradual bursting forth of buds and leaves on shrub and tree is a daily source of spring enjoyment ; the elder and honeysuckle show their purple buds early; the lilacs and flowering currants follow with their green buds ; each tree and plant has its own peculiar habit and growth— each unfolds its bud after a different manner ; and many a pleasant hour may be spent in watching the pro gress and unrolling of the buds of the various plants, so as to discover the way the leaves are folded up, and the man ner in which each opens and comes forth. Some leaves, for instance, such as the oak, are folded from the mid-rib, so that the upper surfaces of the two halves of the leaf are applied to each other;.in the violet the leaf is rolled inwards toward the middle ; in the azalea it is rolled outward ; in the maple it is plaited like a fan ; in the tulip-tree the point is bent towards the base, and several leaves are packed one within an other ; while on other trees the leaf is rolled into a single coil. It is interest ing to trace thus, in every work of, God's hand, the variety as well as the wisdom and power displayed ; but even to those who have not had their attention direct ed to these illustrations of God's work, the opening spring cannot fail to bring some thought of what it typifies, as well as of the hope its buds give of summer's bloom.—Chronicles of a Garden. READING ALOUD IN THE FAMILY. Books and periodicals should be an gels to every household. They are urns to bring us the golden fruits of I thought and experience from other minds, and other lands. As the fruits of the trees of the earth's-soil are most enjoyed around the family board, so should those that mature upon mental and moral boughs be gathered around by the entire household. No home ex ercise could be more appropriate and pleasing than for one member to read aloud for the benefit of all. An au thor's ideas are energized by the confi dence and love of the tender family affections, and every heart is open to the truth like the unfolded rose to re ceive the gathering dews. The ties of love between parents, and children, and brothers, and sisters, are thus cemented yet more and more, and varied charms and pleasures are constantly open through this medium to make a home a very paradise. If parents would introduce this exercise in, their families, they would soon see the levity and giddiness that make up the conversation of too' many circles, giving way to refinement and chaste _dignity. Read to your children, and encourage them to read to you, in stead of reading your papers and books in silence , and in silence laying them away. —Western Recorder. Atiartistments.
