BE TRIBE TO, THE 'FLAG.
BY LILLIAN HOPE
I am proud of the ✓Mara and Stripes unfurled,
Over the land and sea,
Of all the Banners in all the world,
The Stars and tae Stripes for me.
Over our braves at Bunker Hill
That Banner of Stars unrolled;
Over their graves—so cold and still—
It fluttered with drooping fold,
For they loved the Flag,
The dear, old Flag;
With its Banner of Stars unrolled.
It waved to the winds of Charleston Bay,
But while we were sick with fears,
It fell—by raarronons twang—one day,—
And a nation vuts bathed in tears!
But it floated again over Sumter's walls,—
The Flag of the "fearless free!"
And wherever the light of the bright sun falls,
Honored that Flag shall be.
Honor the Flag!
The dear, old Flag!
Wherever that Flag may be,.
Over Antietam's fiery Rood,
Its thundering roar and, rattle,
Over that field dyed red with blood,
By the stormy tide of battle.
Over the ' rider and.over his steed
The tide of the battle rolls;
But heroes like ours are willing to bleed
And FALL for, I.lle SlATT44:oldri.
They DIED firiihtiVidg;
The dear, old Flag I
Sleep—heroes—beneath its folds.

Caught the gleam of a fearless pennon
Floating-Aloft to the, blackened sky •

A BEAR -STORY.
Little boys and girls, while you are get
ting ready to listen, I would tell you that
this is by no means a story like iEsop's
fables, to be read more especially for the
saki of the moral it conveys. I shall tell
you but a few plain facts, and then, leave
each of you 'draw such a moral therefrom,
as may best suit your own peculiar, disposi
tion; for even the minds of children differ,
us well as their, faces.
A few weeks since, a large wild bear was
killed near E—, a ittle hamlet in the eas
tern 'part of Pennsylvania. - Now it. being
ruch a very uncommon thing to see a wild
beast in any shape or form, in this cleared,
thickly settled and well-tilled region of coun
try, the capture of this ialitary, wandering
bear, caused no little . sensation in this rural
community. How bruin ever managed to come
safely all the way from his wild jungled lair,
is a question which I suppose, he could
_best
have explained himself. It is said that he
was once seen about forty miles farther
North; but he successfully dodged his pursu
ers. Here his huge fOrna was first discovered
moving through a grain-field. On being fol
lowed, he climbed up a tree, where he was
finally dispatched.
Now I suppose some of you are thinking
quietly, "Well what then! It- is not so in
teresting to hear that the poor bear is
to Make so much ado about it." In thiS you
are quite correct, my dear little friends. I
think our interest, should be wonderfully in
creased, if we were to encounter one of
these voracious animals at large. I trust none
of you may ever meet with one. But now in
case this should happen, what would you do ?
Would you .not try to save your lives by
fleeing from i T t?. A grown bear of course you
could, , not manage; but if it be a little one
that, wanted to gripe you to death, would
you libt ei.deavor to kill it? I think so.
Well, I have A little_ fact to tell you, of
which ,perhaps you' ',Aire never thought.
Each and every, one of you bears a little
"wild beast" in your bosom, n hich you
must kill, or else it will grow to be a mons
ter, and at last ,destroy you. Perhaps you
will better, understand me, when I tell you
plainly, that those of you who on this very
day have said "I won't!" to your mother,
when she told you to do something for her,
made this beast-ip the heart growl with sat
isfactiop ; 4o; l diAolleclienee to patents is the
very fooldithat luilpilo4nakeit bow. How ,
over,it paropered in 'a great many ways ;an
the best thing: Nemau do, is to destroy i
before it has gained power to conquer us.
If your p,arer4s, after haN,i.P i g' kindly taugZ ,

BY ETA.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1868.
Do not be frightened when I tell you, my
dear little friends, that there are other wild
animals in this spirit lair. Some of these we
can never kill, but we can tame them, and this
it is our duty to do. Really I think we would be
rood for nothing, if we bad none of these
wild things to conquer. There was a cer
tain great and good man, who, when a little
boy, was flogged thirteen times in one morn
ing, to drive the beast of stubbornness from
out his heart; yet they could not do it. There
is a way though to get it out. I shall soon
tell you what that is. While I think of it, I
will remind, you, to ask your mother when
she has leisure to 'please kindly to read
to you the/Bong of Solomon. In the second,
chapter you will find , the sentence "Take us
the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the
vines ; for our vines have tender grape S..",
Your parents will tell you, that by the
vines may he represented the beautiful little
love-branches that aree - bhissoming for heaven
i n the garden of your, hearts ; but alas too , often
they are spoiled by the little foxes of sin, that
are continually , creeping in, if you are not
watchful, 'We are in a thousand times greater
danger from,little sins, than fromlarger crimes.
But in the sight of Him, who reads the heart,
there is no little sin. In Ills holy eye, it is._ as
unholy, to steal a pin,•as it is to rob millions
of dollars! Littld thefts, little lies, little
pride'
‘
little deception and a host of other
little faults and evil habits—these are the
little foxes that spoil the vines, bearing the
tender grapes of truth in the heart. We
shall refrain from talking any longer about
the little foxes at present, but I trust each
of you will be on his guard to detect them,
and pray earnestly to God to "take" them
away.
You would perhaps like to know, which I
think the best way to kill the " wild bear "
in the heart. Well here is the way, in which
a little &I. - finally succeeded. She was na
turally very passionate ' and for a' season
permitted too much , t 6 have her own way,
which is generally a bad one and I hope
'your parents will not grant it to you. In
the impulse of the moment, she would often
act rudely and speak cross, unkind words,
for which the very next minute. she. would
again weep bitter tears of regret. Good
resolutionawere then made, but just to be
broken on the slightest provocation. She
found, alas! that in her own strength she
could not conquer the wild beast of a cross
temper, which, by the way, I do not think
that any child can, or grown person either.
Yet she triumphed at last, and the frown was
chased away by the cheerful smile of a sweet
temper, and instead of resenting evil, she
was kind and gentle to, others and felt ready
to "give a "kiss for a litoiy." The only
weapon she" had was prayer to her Heaven=
ly Father, in, the name of the beloved Sa
viour who triumphed for her. Yes, dear'
children, silently and alone she knelt in her
closet, and prayed for a new heart, and it was
given to" her and: - a,new - ....50ng. put into her
mouth 'Whenever she Was tempted' to re-,
peat her old w:Sys, she would think' of Jesus:'
how much He suffered, who was oppressed'
and afflicted, yet opened riot hiS mouth; who
was brought as , a lamb to the slaughter, and
as a sheep before, her, shearers is dumb, so
he opened not his rn'entli, tnough all around
were speaking falsely against Him. I think
if we would always remember this, we could
bear everything patiently.
Ere parting from you, my beloved little,
hearers, I would ask you once more, not to
forget to pray for strength to overcome
every little wild beast in the heitit, so that
.you can truly : love and obeyjopr parents and
the dear Heavenly Friend who give yoll to
them, and thus grow up to 'be truly noble
and good.--lieformed Church Messenger.
KATY; OR, TRUST IN GOD.
Katy lived'in a small cottage, a little way
from a large town. There` was a little grass
plat in front of: thelhonse,
,and at the back
was wsmall gardeh, where they raised a few
vegetables. There, too, was. Katy's bed of
flowers. Katy was, very 'fond of her flowers
and, took good cye:that no weeds should, be
found , among them. Katy's parents '.were
poor, and were obliged to work very hard,
but they were happy, for they loved and
trusted in ,God.
One night Katy's father came home from
his work quite ill. The next day he was
worse, and in a .stirt time lae,grew po very
ill that the physician saidinu'sV die. It
wawa sad, day when the kind husband and
father was laid 'in the, grave., Poor Katy
missed her father very much, but, she 'tried
to be cheerful beeause heit mother was so
After her father's death, Katy's mother
was obliged to work so hard that she be
came ill. She could walk about the house
and'itit in tier large arwchair, but she:could
not sew, and her' face grew so this and
white -that. Katy began to geo,;graid that
she too would die. Every day she asked
God to make her dear mother well.
One day Katy went out to •work a little
wbilein her flower-bed, and as she /00110
at the bright blossoms, she thought perhaps,
she might sell tliem to' thepeople,who lived
in the town, and earn „something for:her
mother. She ran in to £l,sk, her mother, yv,130
gave her leave, to try. The next morning
Katy.,yose early, and after doing all she
could t,..0 make her mother comfortable, went
'to the garden, and cutting the hr s .l44SidstAn,d
frqShOgt 1 19vileTs, arrfingedlheur infbettqnets
and placed them in a basket. ,going
into the house aiiitigieelirig 4Weby;the
bed in her little room, she asked God. to take
care of her and help heitci sell hey flowers,_
After kissing her moper, she started with,
.a light , heart on, herArrand.'
When Katy reached the town, she felt so
timid that she found it hard to ask any one
to buy her flowers; but the thought of bar
sick mother made her brave. Just pa she
was passing a fine house, the door opened
and an old , man with a cane came down the
steps. Katy held up to hint a bunch of her
finest flowers and said:
"Please,-sir, buy my flowers?"
The old man turned toward her and in a
kind voice asked her name and where she
lived. Katy , answered him and said again,
"Please, sir, buy my flowers, because my
father is dead and my mother is sick."
The old man told her to come into the
house with him,, and then he asked, her a
great many auesticins, and talked to hei so
kindly that the little girl felt quite at her
ease.
He told her that he would take all her
flowers,., and Katy's eyes danced for joy
when, he put a ,bright silver dollar in her
hand. She was more happy still when the
kind old mkt called . his daughter and told
her to fill .IVity's basket with'sneh things as
would be good for herisiek mother.

SUS AMONG MEN,
Now,'thertfore, we are to see in Him—in
Jesus—what , ind of interest pertains to the
lot and state pf man, taken as '4 fallen per
sonality. Wnriderful depth of feeling and
sacrifice !---hshall we compass it ?—in the
charities' of 1 3 burdened 'life,' and sorrow,
E lw
and cross. ,
.gi Eio conceives the magnitude
and tragic paiiii of souls, or persons, that he
sinks all 'orders and distinctions of men in
one level of suffering pity.. And be is espe
cially drawn to'abject and low people, be
cause understanding him quite as well, they
are, much less. withdrawn., by hateful and
low principles. His great, loving mind
stoops to its burdens, and he bears the world
as we bear the weight of a sorrow. The
woman at the Well is sure there must' be
some great riddle in him.. little children
aro gathered to him and can not look away
from: him. That 'he gets the blind man's
heart, 'when he leads him out, hand in hand,
to heal him, nobody need tell us. As little
that he gets` holdl of another's, , 'when, hay
' b e t 1 '''
ing healed hinl, h goes, ender y after him;
cast out forbei healed; even as some
teacher of ~a Sunday-school goes after the
poor, much-perseented pipit he has, lately
missed; and leadiiig him - back, opens to him
some of the deepest matters even aids great
Messiahship. 'WhY should not thepenitent
Woman, put in hope and courage by his
friendly words; wash his,feet with her tears?
And would it not be strange if the two sis
ters of Bethany were, at all, less nearly dis
tracted by their tender hospitalities, after
he has wept the tears, of Messia.hship with
thein at their brother'S 'grave? Notice fur
ther the significance ,of bis look,. that so
much impressed the evangelist; .when, sur
rounded by such forlern ,multitudes of sick
and diseased people, his feeling is described
by saying, that "he was moved with com
passion, on them, because they fainted and
were scattered abroad as sheep having• no'
shepherd ,Humble in hi's figure, scanda-'
lously unconventional, he is yet respected
and felt everywhere. He touches the quick,
so to speak,.of all human sentiment aid con
viction, and makes 'a contact so pervasive
that all incrustations of sin are pierced.
Without a single air of popularity, or any'
bait thrown out to catch applause, he settles
straightway into vital connection with men,
because of the diyine sorrow that is in him.
and though multitudes of high people are of-'
fended in him, is the best-approved, most
thoroughly-felt man that ever lived.—Dr.
Bushnell.. .. . .
THE. • SILENCE .OF SOEUTUBIE.
In the Baptist Quarterly for Inly Rev. Dr.
Gardner .;furnished` ;the :spay on The Silence
of Scripture which was received with so
much favor, at ,the Pastoral Conference, in
October; last, at Worcester. After tracing
the fact of this Silence in reference to many
a curious question abont God, about the
earthly life of Jesus, about the future world,
he 'asks as; to, the' ;uses of this Silence. No
'tieing the claims of the mystics, like Eman
uel Swedenberg, and those of the so-called
spiritualists, he says
In contradistinction from all these and
the like humanizing - systems and beliefs,
that moro,or Jess,' all of them, cater to some
morbid curiosity or spirit of speculatiOn,
the Bible maintains . a .holy reserve. It gives
us principles, life germs of spiritual truth:
It touches.great central facts, that affect vi
tal interests. It never; condescends to grat
ify an idle 'curiosity, or to meet with its un
foldin gs Of t knowledge a imply. human and
worldly want. It reveals, not the how and
where of immortalitY, but immortality it
self. It brings to 'man's. moral wants, not
excitement, bat satisfaction. It deals not,
in, riddles for the curious, nor paradoxafor
'the speculatiVe,'brit'in 'healing for the mor
ally Sick. It answereth not a fool accord
ing, to his folly when he speaks ; and again
it answereth a fool according to his folly
when it is silent. It enters not into the de
' tails of building up character • but it open's,
to our view the pure foundation in
Christ: It talks' not idly, nor cateringly,
nuripatronizingly, indulgently , nor sen
timeVtallir, non vaguely it talks to men
earnest4,strodgy, pttaket(tly, with great
pertinency to their preSent and prospective
wants, b and with groat power to stir the
soul's lethargieS, to enlighten, Waroinio, to
save. Verily, the voice of this book, which,
when it speaks, speaks with authority, and
when it is silent, is silent with authority, is
no other than the voice of God.
The silence of Scripture on things of less
moment gives emphasis to its utterances on the
great central doctrines of faith and life.
Look at a great painting; for instance,
Bierstadt's " Domes of the Yo Semite." It
is only in the immediate foreground that
any attempt is made to paint the grass, the
flower, the moss on the rock. As the vista
stretches away up the valley all these little
details are lost in the_ generalization of the
scene. The great arches recede in the over
hanging cliffs ; the bald dothes tower up on
eitiier side' in their' unique majesty; and
away up and on in the distance the sky and
the cloud and the mountain all seem melt
ing together in one hillowy, blue ocean of
air. There is no attempt to represent the
valleys that lie between those distant domes.
There are ravines, and gorges, and perhaps
broad plateaus hid away among the moun•
tains. YOU know, as you gaze, that they
are there, but the pencil and brush have
rather concealed than tried to depict therh.
They do not now distract your admiration
of the great groupings of nature, revealed
only in 'their massive majesty, not in the
details of minor beauty.
It is just so with these Divine revelations.
They show, us the spiritual world only in
the grandeur of its outline facts,
not in the
details of 'minor incident. Take, for in
stance, the recorded life of Jesus Christ and
the progressive deVelopment of Christian
doctrine, in the writings of the apostle&
Only in the foreground of His infancY do
we find any of the outer incidents of- His
life detailed. There are the manger, the
star, the 'shepherds, the magi ,-a little
group of facts that lend coloriand vividneis
to the whole picture. Twelve years away
there stands out, isolated from , all its Sur
rdundings, one suggestive . ' Beene. Here h
revealing ray, as a; rift in the overhanging
cloud, lights the picture a little. Then, eigh
teen years away in the distance,:rise up-in
all' their majesty and glory, but enveloped
in cloud all about their basis, the mighty
facts of;His life and death.' And still on,
partly in the mist andpartly in the sunlight, '
the mountain domes of Christian doctrine
raise their sun-lit crests high up toward
God. Thus mingled,' the' light of revels.
lation and the shade of concealment make
,
up a picture more vivid, ,and grand; and
real than could,have been secured by a flood,
of light that should, in tbe attempt to re
veal all, have obscured 'all by its dazzle.
God's' revelations are-'adjusted to 'human
eyes. ,
This silence of the Bible is not a defect,
but in reality a glory._ ; The,e ; is no silence
in this Hook on the great problemS' that af
fect human life and well-being; no silence
on the importunate questions of human
duty : " repent," " believer, "gb, - Work."
Here are reproofs and - warnings ; promises
and encouremeritii; invitations and wel
comes • words of coinfort; hope, joy. It; is
enough. What if, curiosity be not catered
to? , What if the-spirit-of -daring speCula
don meet a stern rebuke in the silence of
God's oracles ? The chart has all the sure
data - for the voyage of life. The reckon
ings, are easily made. The soul's bearings
may be readily found. Every rock, ~,'atid
reef, and headland of temptation arid, dotibt
are laid down ; what if all the rest of the
wide ocean be unmarked'? The mariner
does not' need, in order to guide his course,
a sky thickly sprinkled with undistitignish
able star dust, and' a coast line of fire ; bat
here and thre brilliant' in the heavens
and a beacon ' on the shore.
TAis • silence is diso
. prohibitive. 't Why
askest thou thus after my, name, seeing it
is secret r said the ; Angel of the Lord to
Manoah. " Enter'not hither", seems to be
written over every gateway of doubt and
Speculation. To he venturesomenere is to
be presumptuous- "As ' such points,"
says, Whately," we should not only seek for
no explanation in Scripture, but should
carefully abstain from the presumption-of
all' inquiry whatever!' No_man or body of
men, council or 'church, may presume to fill
up .the gaps of Scrjpture. All positive doe
trine,—all immutable ordinances,—all di
rect and definite duties .must rest, not on
the silence, but the utterances of Scripture

There _is , something Cheerful to all who

BUSINESS FOR CHRIST.
Many years ago, happening to be in South
Wales, I made the acquaintance of a Welsh
gentleman. He was then a landed Tro
prietor, living in his own mansion. He
bad been befbre carrying on an extensive
business in a large town. 1 - I,y the death of
a relative, he had unexpectedly come into
possession of this property. After consid
ering whether he should retire from busi
ness, he made up his mind he should still
continue to carry it on, though not for him
self, but for Christ. I could not help being
struck with the gleesomeness of a holy
mind which lighted up his countenance
when he said " I never knew before Whit
real happiness was. Formerly I wrought
as a master to earn a livelihood for myself,
but now I am carrying on the same work
as diligently as if for myself, and even , more
so; but it is now for Christ, and every half
penny of profits is handed over to the trea
sury of the Lord, and I feel that the 'Odle
of my Saviour rests upon me." I think that
is an, example worthy of being imitated.-7
Dr. Duff.

The London Daily News has the following:
"Two years ago Messrs.' Priggs, of the
Wiiit*ood and Xetbley collieries, worn out
with long series , Of",fiisputes with, their
workmen,and reduced to, a point when the
question ay only between closing their pits
altogether, or introducing some'totally new
systein, made the proposal for an arrange
ment for co-operative working. They offer
ed to the men that, after paying all other
e.penses, and after securing a rate of tea
per cent. interest on _the capital sunk, the
surplus profits: should be annually ascer
tained, and 'dfirided equally between rase
teis and , men: It' was also proposed that
Such of the men Ss thought fit Might:put
their own small savings into the, concern,
and become shareholders. The proposal
was discnsted and aebeptediand it has.riQw
been acted on Air two years. ,
" The 'second general meeting of the new
firm—Henry Briggs, Son &
Was held recently, and the balance sheet
for the year was submitted. It was highly
satisfactory.. After paying the ten per cent.
on capital, there was a surplus of seven per
cent. to be divided between capital and la
bel., Every werkman shared in this bonus
in proportion to the amount " of *ages he
bad received during the' year. There were
about twelve hundred bands employed, and
there was more than L 3,000 to be thus dis
tributed; therefore there would have been
an average of •.£2 10s. per head,•supposing
all had equal qualificatiOns And • all- had
worked regularly. As it is; we . ln4 . pre
sume that the superior Skilled Worknien re
ceived considerably larger 'slims, and 'that
lads or new, hands• may have made only . a
few shillings. But in every case it was pure
gain. Those'who were shareholders reaped
thirteen and a half per • cent: interest be
sides. Those who were not ,aliendy share
holders were offered a nem epportunkty of
taking shares, •and -so participating still
more largely in future profits.' Every one
has naturally been 'satisfied, and strikes
have disappeared.
"This is an 'eminently enoonrigin re

destroyed more coal than pioper working
would have
. required. The 'masters were
upon the , point of withdrawing. the capital
from so losing a concern. 'Yet in two years
not only is harmony restored, but the capi
tal makes thirteen and a half per cent. net,
*bile the men are paid several pounds a
year beyond their wages. This result shows
of itself how it was brought
tto pass. Not
only did th? men work harder, and so bet
