61it fautitg ST. CHRISTOPHER. "Carry me across!" The Syrian heard, rose up and braced Elie huge limbs to the accustomed toil: "My child, see how the waters boil? The night-black heavens look angry-faced; But life is little loss. "I'll carry thee with joy, If needs be, sale as nestling dove: For o'er this stream I pilgrims bring In service to one Christ, a King Whom I have never seen, yet love." "I thank thee" said the boy. Cheerful Arprobue took The burden on his shoulders great, And stepped into themaves once more; When lo they leaping rise and roar, And 'heath the little child's light weight The tottering giant shook. "Who art thou?" cried he wild, Struggling in middle of the ford: " Boy as thou look'st, it seems to me The-whole world's load•I bear id thee, Yet—" "For the sake of Christ, thy Lord, Carry me," said the child. No more Arprobus swerved, - But gained the farther bank, and then A voice cried, "Hence Christophores be! For carrying, thou halt carried ME, The King of angels and of mea, The masterl.hou halt served." • And in the moonlight blue• The saint saw—not the wandering boy, But Him who walked upon the sea And - o'er the plains of Galilee, Till, filled with mystic, awful joy, His dear Lord Christ he knew. 0, little is all loss, And brief the space %wild shore and shore, If thou, Lord Jesus, on us lay, Throukh the deep waters l of our ` way, The burden that Christophoros bore,— To carry Thee across. GOOD INVESTMENT. "No hOme, no home." There was something very plaintive in the intonations of the voice, and the words fell sweetly, tliough sadly, upon the ears. "No home." I was hurrying along Randolph. Rtreet, in the city of Chicago. Perhaps I should not have . stopped, only that the voice re minded me ef a little girl of 'my own, who was at that time fifteen hundred miles away. I felt a slight twitch at the heart, as the words came pleadingly on the night air. "No home, no liome." These words were repeated at intervals, and the one speaking them could not have been more than seven years old. She stood in a dark place, few were passing, and the night was, threatening, no police man appeared to b'e within hearing; it was somewhat chilly, and as late , as half-past ten in the evening. What should I do? I had been accustomed to dismiss from sight and mind all mendicants; =ragged children, poor widows, old men, and• the whole disgusting crew, as cheats. I walked a few paces past the little, girl., ' "No home!" How the words smote me. What if a little girl of mine should some time be thus desolate and alone, and should cry out in her anguish to passing strangers unheeded. The thought went to my heart like a knife. I stopped, almost by impulse. I could see no person in sight. I could hear no footfall on, the, pavement. It was possible her cry wad g'enuine, as some good souls by strange circumstances , get drifted in with outcasts from society. Perhaps, also, this girl was uttering an honest cry among the thousand false voices. I thought then it is better to be 'deceived 'once thaia never make an effort to assist the unfortunate. I thought so, and yet .I. cannot tell why I thought so, at that particular time, since I had been ac customed to think directly opposite. I sup pose it was the loneliness of my house during the few days preceding; wife and children absent, had something to do with it. "What is the matter, my little one ?" I said kindly. She shrunk back as if afraid of the assist ance she had invoked. Perhaps I did not speak as kindly as I imagined. I 'had not experience in addressing children under such circumstances. 4 . 4 Whererdb von live &sr?" I said. " Way off.' "Don't ory, now, ray darling, and I will lead yon_home." "I don't want to. I han't got any, home, Matrona,died,,and aunty whips me so that I can'tltay." • Well, thotight I, this is the old story, and the little, one is unworthy, after all. She is provoking and disobedient, ind , runs away from a kind 'aunt, Who wishes to , correct her. I turned to go. The child sobbeil: - I could, not leave her in the dark street alone tolsuffer, worthy or unworthy. you tell. me your name, little one?" I asked. , Luty, sir." "Well, LiitY, deirj Ufa going toyour aunt's. I guess she won't' whip you any , more. If she does, 1 wilLtake you to my home. Come, now, don't cry any more. We must walk as fast as we can, and you must show me the way." I girVe lieeno time to reply, but took her by the hand and led her along the pave ment. 4 Do,Nin tb is Way; Sir." I follciWed *here she led the way in among a row of small woodoSn houses, set on posts. The houses were not';old nor rickety, but they were small and , cheap; with mud in unmeasured quantities .all a .ound and underneath them. I had pretty D.,Huloch. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1869. much made up my mind that I would test the truth of the little girl's story, then leave her or take her home with me, according as the story should prove true or false. " This is where auu.ty lives, sir," she said, stopping before a house which looked re spectable among its fellows. I doubted the truth of her account more than ever, at the same time remembering that cruelty exists in connection with, good circumstances sometimes. " Now, you go in, -my dear," I said, " and I will stay here. If she whips you cpme and tell me." "I don't want to, but I will. You are real good, sir." She stepped into the house while I re mained in the street. She was no sooner out of eight, than the plan whichl . had adopted appeared to me to be anythin g, judicious. If she should be_abused, I could not see it; and more than likely she would not be permitted to come and tell me. I was not long in this state of„rnind regarding the plan,jor in • two minutes after 'the door closed on ,little Luty, it was cipened' again by a coarse woman, and the child pushed down the steps. "There you little lying heathen, aon't show your face A again till you bring the money . I: walked' quietly to the little girl, lying upon her side, at the foot of a half dozen steps leading up to the door. 'She was hurt badly from the fall, and utterly overcome With grief. ' I knew then precisely how the case stood. This coarse aunt was teaching the child to beg ; exercising the inhuman treatment to .accomplish her object, site required a stipu lated sum* every night. I did not suppose that the woman could be cruel enough to leave,the child out all night in the .street ; I presume she intended to keep her out long enough ta,impress the child with .the importance.oflringinghome the necessary amount in future. I took her up in my arms, and' placed my face to hers. The unexpected kindnees unsealed ' the fountain, and 'the hot' taars poured fast down upon my face. Her arms found their way around , my neck, and she pressed croser and ,closer. I had upon that day toiled , since early early morning to add to my store, but no sweetness 'of the' day, though marvellously successful, was .like the eweetneespf Luty's clasp and tears. I carried , her in my arms all the way .to my louse upon the west side. The next day I procured her suitable clothing. The loneliness ieft my house, and no child of my own loves me more fondly no* 'than dear little Luty, just twelve years old to : day. Seventy-five thousand dollars invested in bonds have never yielded me soy much hap piness as the affection of this girl.; Invest ments in flesh and bibod, made in 'the right spiritnot for 'slavery, but for emancipa tion—are, I am ' convinced, the most 'judi cious and best-paying investments on'earth. —Christian Instructor.. HE 'PRAYS FOR THE CHILDREN. We have a new minister. We are not much acquainted with him yet, but we shall like him, because he prays for the, Children.

A "':liiire feast" was to beheld hefore the-regular'seriices ; having never,attended One I dropped 'in; and not only satisfied my curi ,osity, but was , spiritually profited. Soon after entering, I heard, amid earnest Amens, the pas toes wife. say, she "was. rocked in the cradle of the Methodist church, and dandled on its knees." The pastor asking meto "come forward'and'say something," "I referred - to that remark. by his 'wife; and said," I was rocked in the cradle of the Congregational. chnrch. I' thanked God that these different organizations were only cra dles ' • that if -we were true Chriatians, God was oar Common'Father, end Jeans' Otkrist Elder Brother to all of us." To this remark there were many fervent Amens. The Elder follow ing, clinched it by saying : " These different de nominations are only cradles; thee two churches here, so unlike in so many resp'ecta, are a unit in Christ; they are only cradles, but God rocks them both."--Congregationalist.. —The Wilmington (Illinois) independent edited by.: Mr. Steele ; -says "A printer last week proposed to go into partnership with us.

Beecher thinks if such a law were executed in Elmira there would not be a clothes pin left in the city. —A correspondence is reported to have taken place recently between Quesada the leader of the Cuban rebels, and the Spanish . General, Lesca, the substance of which is this; Quesada sent an officer, under a flag of truce, to Lesca, with a list of the names of a few Spanish officers and soldiers in his power, and proposed to 'exchange them for an equal number of Cuban chiefs and soldiers, held as prisoners by the Spaniards. Lesca's reply was to the effect " that Spain would indeed display some pride were She. to ac cept such a ridiculous proposition, looking to the fact that she counts upon the loyal hearts of 17,000,000 of people to defend her, and that'the loss or salvation of ten or twelve x persons was of but little . eonsequence, especially as it was a matter of one'a country •being at stake." " Be aides," he said„ " that he held none of Quesada's Men as prisoners, for, as soon as they' fell into his hands, he had ordered theni to be shot, and he, should continue to pursue the same course." When this answer was received 'by Quesada, he Called the gpanish prisoners together, and said: " Senors: I hold in my hand a death -warrant issued against you, , drawn up by your own chief, Lesca., „The reading of it inspires me with 'horror." So saying, he ha.nded the paper to one, of his aids, who read it aloud. Seeing that the Prisoners were full of indignation at the. entiments contained in Lena's note, Queiada theja said td'hem:: S,enors : Gen. Quesada is nbt‘a-G en. Lesca pardon you'all. You can 'leave when 'yen will, and; to effect a ,safe for'you, I will issue the 'necessary PaSiports."

The Pull Mall Geik . ette says the following etory was told lately in the " Ooirespondent's club,' which has been formed in that city : At the funeral of -the late'Geaeral Baker, which was held in the White House the correspondeat'of a New York journal, unable to get a ticket of admission, got down through a coal hole, and,' after groping his way, reached'at last the East Room, directly in the rear of the officiating clergyman. While the clergyman was engaged in prayer, the reporter ob served a roll of paper in his hat. To seize and fly was; the 'work of a moment: When the clergyman turned to find his Sermon, he found, it not. He attempted, to deliver this, remarks. from memory, but made a wretched failure rof it, much to the astonishment of :the dignitaries who were present.

It was no time to stand halting be tween two opinions.' The first man (doubtless a, 'staunch' Churchinan, but not waterproof,) set the example.

It might add toithe effect if those who sing were prepared, in such an , emergency, with some selection from the Psalter, suitable to a wet time,-and the music adapted to a double=' quick." SHARP PRACTICE. Once on a time, an English Jew threaten ed' to disinherit his son for seeking marriage with Chrisitian "damsel. 'The' love' struck son took into his counsels a lawyer, who. , apprised him, to his great. satisfaction, that by becoming baptized he might take advan tags of a law of the realm, which accorded to an , apostate Jew the half of his father's fortune. . ' The young man didlnot hesitate a moment, ,and quickly, gage his , father to., Anderstand that .unless he,gave his. cogsent ,tco the ma_r,-. 1 . riage, he would.en'te'r , into th. 0 4, 08 0 1?) .9.f Christian Church. The Jew was confounded, and made all haste to Henry Fielding, to ask if such s monstrous law was really in existence. Fielding answered in the affir mative, and then added: "I could perhaps indicate to you a way of frustrating the designs of your son." "Speak I speak I" cried the Jew. "I must have a retainer of twenty guin eas." "And you assure me that I can disinherit my son, so that he will not have right to a penny.' " I promise you." " All right, take the guineas !" Fielding carefully laid away the gold, and then said to the Jew : " The only thing you need to do is to become a Christian yourself !"

On this occasion an actor, speaking of one of the ancient heroes, repeated the words, " His :purpose is not to appear just, but to be so," and as, he spoke . them, the • eyes of the speptators turned si multaneously upon Anmin.ns, who, by his unassuming excellence, had gained the name of " the just," ' and who Slone, of the whole audience, was unconscious- that his ,inner nature had so eloquently spoken, in , his, out- ward life. It is not the semblanfq of virtue, but virtue itself, that should in a man's life. Every-one, in theory at least,. detests hy pocrisy. The man who professes what he does not believe, or Iceeps up 'a deceitful ap-' peariince, making 'pretensions to wealth,- knowledge, friendship or 'virtues, that he' is conscious, of not possessing, is despised by all, as soon as the fraud is discovered. The large majority of persons, aiso,flespise the same deceit in' themselVes, and mdst 'of them, would scorn to - do a deliberately by .pocritical action. s Yet .few know the insi dious nature of hypocrisy, or how uncon sciously it creeps into the, heart. the de sire of the approval of our felloW-Ineri is in itself right, but like 'every other virtue, when carried to excess, or unbalanced by virtues of a similar ,character,,it becomes a vice, and unchecked, will lead, c to &grads-, tion and, contempt. The child, in the fresh ness alas young life, is chiefly , attractive by its artlessness. Every word and gesture is at first a simple reflex of what is., within, expressed without a thought of, how. others may. esteem it.

SINGING ALL TOGETHER BY REV. T. DE WITT TALMAGE. Many contend that the singing of the Church should be done by delegation.

Thanks; e unto God who giveth us the victory I" cry a thousand redeemed voices., ,A,rayriad spirits catchup the song of .Moses and the Lamb, and. the hundred and forty and four thousand break forth into rejoicing. See how the ,palms wave. Look how the thrones .quake. Stop that loud singing. All out of taste. - Stop. But then will not cease. You might as well attempt to drown the thunder, of the• skies, or beat back the roar, of the seas; for verily 1 be. lieve that every saint in heaven has resolr. ed to do his own singing. Within the, last., two or three generations the Psalmody of the Church has become more artistic and correct, but in unanimity of performance it has retrograded. I hav e been told, that in olden times everybody sang, and not ,with teeth shut, the tune 'strained nut thin and weak, but, with mouth Opened and the enthusiasm of a battle shout. When they, were thoroughly cheerful they sang Colchester. Where, they were inedita. tive,then the clap-board meetin g-houses rang with Seuth Street, and , Saint Edmund's. Werethey, smitten with:deeptenderness of soul; then they sang. Woodstoek. .Were they ,confident in the honor and, progress of the Church, then they sang ,Zion. Were they wrapt,,m visions of Christ, then they sang Ariel.„ But here we. sit, and hum ourselves to sleep over. things About which the angels of ,God pp,npqkeep their:composure. It shall not always be so. I imagine that there is a magnificent tune yet to be compos• &I. I know not who shall do it. But it will be .the last days"of the Church. From all the national airsjof the world the most triumphant strains shall be . , gathered for that one tune ; and,frorrvill the innumerable chants and anthems that for hundreds of years have been the delight.of Christendom there shall be collected the most thrilling passages of music to be set in that one great ,harmony : and the most jubilant expressions of Heaven's: joy shall be brought down to pour thdif richness into it, until genius and piety and , 'ripture and Heaven itself can add no more to the glory and pomp , of that :one tune. All nations shall learn it. The universe shall, sing it. , Covering every mountain and stretching thrOugh every Valley of the redeemed earth shall stand a great choir rand when Christ shall give the signal for the beginning of earth's .last great song of triumph, from the groves of India, and cities, of China, and the jungles of Africa; from all islands, from all zones, from all continents there shall:ascend a sound of exultationin which the armies of Heaven shall strike.their cymbals of victory. Iln• til that, great .harmony harony shall. have some *better, name, , will .call it " The Grand March, of the Church Militant!" —A writer in •the N W. , Ardwocate is discuss ing the, adulteration of liquors.
