yon. He wishes you to marry him. I
told him I could have no particular in
fluence, unless you have scruples of con
science about marrying. He is a clever
young man, and I see no objection. He
is very unlike his fanatic uncle.” *
Ile might have talked an hour with
out receiving a reply. Catherine’s
manner had changed ; there was no lon
ger the emotion or the blush.
“What shall I tell him?”
“ Anything you please,” said she, “so
that I never see him again.” ■
“Why, this is strange,” said Luther;
“you did not seem to have scruples of
conscience just now. My dear Cathe
rine, you must not forget that you have
no natural relations here, and this
young man can be a protector to you.”
“I wish you would not speak of
|him,” replied she. ,
I “Is there any one else that you like
Ibctter ?” said Luther.
She made no reply.
“ Nay, speak; I have every disposi
tion to serve you. ;; Has any other, per
son made the same proposition to
Irou?”
| “Yes,” said Catherine, with a little
[womanly pride; “ Counsellor Baumgart
iner has made the same proposals.”
| “Do you prefer him ?"
I “Yes,” she replied, rising-; “but I
jam as happy as I ever expect to be.
ply friends assure me that I am no bur
pen, but a help to them; and so I wish
|you good morning." ;
f Poor Catherine hastened to her room.
[Her dream was over. . Luther,, the aus
ftere, the insensible reformer, had awak
ened her from it. Margaret entered
while her eyes were vet red with weep
ing. She tenderly approached and
[embraced her; but neither exchanged a
[word.
“There is no hope for Bodenstein,”
>ught Luther; “it is evident Bauin
.'tner is the object. Catherine is a
ild; if the Elector dies, she is without
>port, except by the labor of her
ids; and they do not look as if they
•e made for labor. I will write to
:ome Baumgartner; he is well known
a young counsellor at Nuremburg.”
Accordingly he wrote:
“1524, Oct. 12.
“If you would obtain Catherine von

ither who proposes for her. She has
; yet conquered her love for you. I
11 rejoice to see you united.
Luther.”
The young counsellor received this
ter with suprise and incredulity. The
iti.ve refusal of Catherine, some
iths before, had left no doubt on his
d, and he thought the wisest plan
to enclose the letter to her, and to
lire whether it was written with her
ition.
n the meantime, Luther’s friends be
to urge him to marry, particularly
lancthon. “You preach,” said he,
what you do not practice.”
He protested, however,, that he would

those who believe not in God, or the

I will not so disclaim my holy faith."
All expostulations were useless. The
Christian mother was firm. In truth
she held on to the hand of God; she
sent her heart walking before her in
the thorny road of sorrow, and moment
by moment her faith grew stronger.
The Sabbath was not turned to busi
ness—the grave was not the scene of
idle cries and despairing shrieks. And
though there was a .change in that
household, yet the smile of the Christian
was still Berene. Sunshine was not kept
put because an angel had left there;
voices were not hushed to whispers.;
pleasant tasks'still went on. Gradually
the serenity of the .wife brightened the
gloom of the father: His treasures'were
not those coveted by earth; but now he
could say, “ They arein "heaven, where
nothing corrupts, grows old or dies!’’
So they two walked quietly out of their
grief to a brighter faith, a higher hap
piness; for they both feel though be
reaved for a Season, they are not child
less.
LABOES AMONG THE FEEEDMEN.
Eev. I. P. Warren, writing to the
Tract Journal , makes the following ob
servations upon the work in Alexan
dria:
The blacks, as is well known, are
characteristically .a. religious people.
•Many of them, we can not doubt, are
.truly converted persons. Wo were
interested in a conversation with ..one,
venerable wothan; 'reputed to? be’ One;
hundred and ten years of age! Her
name is Sicily Armstead; her mental
faculties are but little impaired by'age.
Her whole conversation and ’'demeanor
marked her as a child of God, who had
long maintained intimate communion
with her Saviour. She spoke iri a very
grateful spirit of the change which had
been wrought in the, condition of her
people, ascribing all to God who had
risen in his might for the overthrow of
the oppressor. Neatly attired, and at
tended by assiduous friends, she sits in
her rocking-chair, welcoming her nu
merous visitors and dropping quaint
yet suggestive remarks upon passing
events, and words of thankfulness to
Him who is doing so, much for her race.
Sometimes she will gratify her visitors
with singing a stanza, in which she
seems to take much delight:—
“ Massa Jesus took my feet
Outot da mira and „
And now he’s put me ifi de rocking-chair
To sing his glory all de day.’’
Many of the utterances of these un
educated people, in their devotional
exercises, are exceedingly interesting.
Wo fioticed the two following whch are
not unworthy of record:
“ Lord-Jesus, will you please to draw
aside the curtain, and take a peep over
de jasper walla of h'eaben, and look
down into desepoor hearts of ours?"
“ O Massa Jesus, we’s jest like little
birds, sittiti’ on de edge of deir nests
wid deir mouths open; now, jes gib us
wbali you will.” ' 11 ’ ‘
‘Besides^their owu : houses,.the freed
iinen of Alexandria have built during
the year a cjjinrph edifice, twenty-four

.they are now enlarging’to fifty-six feet

HE COULDN'T STANDJT.
Ait the annual meeting of the Lon--
don Bey, Canon Champ*,
neys.said:
“ I remember once a very valued
friend of mine, a barrister, now passed
away, who spent bis Sundays in visit
ing a hospital. Ho told me that on one
'occasion he sat down by the. bedside of
one of the yery pO'ofetitj the most ;ign,o
rant,! and without being ■ the word in
any offenßivemanher, one of the very
lowest men he fead ever. seen jn his life!
—a man "W&M6 Btiglish,’had it been
taken do wn would bate been the most
cdmplete and perfect dislocation of the
Queen's English that he ever heard.
NO word seemed tobeinlts right place.
It seemed: as if that which should- have
been a'jdintecl and vertebrated sentence
ha’d been separated at every joint, and
together anyhow. My friend
was a man of the most tender spirit—
a man whose tender spirit radiated from
one of the most striking faces I ever
saw; and I can well understand how
he looked when he sat down by that
poor man’s bed; He began first, as all
should who visit the sick; to break
ground on temporal matters, to sympa
thize with them on that, which they
can understand so well—their bodily
sufferings—to show that we are rot in
differont to what they are suffering as
•men ; and then 'after speaking a few
kind words, he was proceeding to say
•something farther for his Muster, whom
he so dearlyL oyed, when he saw the
man’s face begin to work convulsively.
The muscles quivered, and at last, lift'-'
j n g up the sheet hnddrawiiig down bis
head; lie threw the sheet over his face,
burst info a violent flood of tears, and

sobbed aloud. My friend wisely waited
till this storm of grief was passed, and
then the poor fellow emerged from un
der the clothes, his face bearing the
traces of the tears that had flowed
down it. When able to speak, my friend
asked him:
“ ‘What is it that so touched you?
I hope that I have not said anything
that was painful to you. What can
have moved you so muoh V
“ And as well as the man could sob
out, he sobbed out these words':
“ 1 Sir, you are the first man that ever
spoke a kind word to me since I was
born, and I can’t stand it.’ ”
I heard a preacher take for his text:
“Am not I thine ass, upon which thou
hast ridden ever since I was thine unto
this day ? Was I ever wont to do this
unto thee ?” I wondered what he would
"make thereof, fearing he would starve
his auditors for want of matter. But
hence he observed:
1. The silliest and simplest, being
wronged, may justly speak in its
own defence.
2. Worst men have a good title to
their own goods. Balaam a sorcerer;
yet the ass confessed twice that he was
his.
3. They who have done many good
offices, and fail in one, are often not
only unrewarded for former service,
but punished for that one offence.
4. When the creatures, formerly offi
cious to serve us, start from their wont
ed obedience, (as the earth to become
barren, and air pestilential,) man ought
to reflect on his own Bin as the sole
cause thereof.
How fruitful are the seeming barren
places of Scripture! Bad ploughmen
which make balks of such ground.
Wheresoever the surface of God’s Word
doth not langh and sing with corn,
there the-heart thereof within is-merry
with wines, affording, where not plain
matter, hidden mysteries. —■ Thomas Ful
ler.

Christian men owe it to God and
themselves to arrest the substitution in
their families of the secular daily for
the religious weekly. No Christian
family should attempt to. keep house
without the visits of a religious paper.

Because, like Herod, it had ruthlessly

If Mr.' Longfellow will look at bis new'

Herod who “ slaughtered the innocents”
