Outside it raids, and tho chill winds blow; The rain falls loud on the sodden ground) And the stream runs by with a threat’ning sound. My bpart is heavy; but many a day Since, *twas light or joyful have pass'd awey ; The Sun shines often on field and tree, But ’lie always cheerless and cold with me. A dark shape Stands on my cabin floor. Its finger points\to the lowly door; Summer and Winter, in gloom or light, It frowns before mo, by day and night. \ I go to toil on my little farm— It follows on, with Ra outstretched arm! I n vain I labor, I curse, or pray— It stands and bids mo “ Away! Away!” ’Tis the landlord’s Notice—that shape of fear, ■ Renewed, sustained, through the live long year, Chilling my life blood hour by hour, Whhlhe blighting threat of a deadly power! When morning brightens the eastern skies, From a troubled sleep nurefresh’d I rise; And I kumv not whether, when evening falls, I may dare to enter these humble walls. I dig aud plow, but I nevvr know If iujt'hands shall gather the crop I sow; And Ijhe crop I> gather, though good it be, Brings never jileuty or peace to me, I pour my sweat on the Soil like rain, I coin my blood—for another’s gain: The more I odd to the land’s rich bloom, The nearer bring I my threaten’d doom. My little son, now to boyhood grown, lias oi little garden he calls bis own He lifts planted saplings and wild flow’ra there, And he says ’tis safe in his lather o care. My iliding knows not how many a start His prattlings send to his lather’s heart; Nor knows the pang that he wakes the while Ills mother lists with a saddm’U smile. My poor pale wife! oven now I hear The landlord's name in her murmur’d pray’r; And I hear her say, in her high appeal, ’• May the Saviour soften his heart of steel!’’ Pray,.Mary, darling!—pray asthoro I My heart is crushed, I can' pray no more; A lire lights up in my tortured brain, Aud the world around takes a crimson stain Pray, Mary, darling!—pray on machrce! For your own dear self, and my cltildrcn ifiree, My soul is wrapped in a hell-red glare ; 1 must walk abroad—Let who will Beware! ISWlaujj. Children. At a "public school festival iu Boston, the Hon. llobert C. Wiuthrop spoke as follows; These boys, I need not say, are the men of the;future ; and, under God, the mas ters of the future. The ever moving cession; of human life will pass on a feu steps, and they will be on the platforms, and w.c'shall be beneath the sod. But to day we are their examples and models, but their masters aud mentors; and the schools arc the studies, in which, by God’s help, they may be formed, and fashioned, and shaped as we will. Yes. my friends, not by any idle rapping* on senseless tables, but by simply knocking at our own honest school room doors, and asking how many boys and girls there are within,’ afrrd what is their mental, and physical- and moral, and spix-itual condi tion and culture —we may find the revela tion of the future, harldly less sure or ex act than if it were written in letters of light by the jpen of inspiration. 4$ I hdve somewhere seen it recorded of England's great hero, the late Duke of Wellington, that on some visit to Eton School- in his old ago, while gazing upon those well remembered scenes of bis boy hood, and when allusion had been made by some of bis companions to the exploits of his manhood, he exclaimed, “ Yes, yes, it was, at Eton that Waterloo was won.” And i|ot a fbw of you, my young friends, will ode day or other be beard confessing that tike best victories of your mature life have been Virtually won or lost at school. And while you strive to fulfil every du ty to your neighbors and yourselves, had to advance the best interest of the world in which you live, may you ever look for wjard With bumble faith aud trust tp the day of which you are just about to sing, wjhen other pajms than these mere human triumphs may be seen in your hands, and when, With a multitude which no man can number, you may be permitted to mingle iu othpr and:nobler songs than any which can be fully learned on earth! 1 A wonderful man is John Smith. He cafi get into more scrapes, on the same dty, |ndi in more different places, than any Other living man. For instance, wit ness j(us exploits of Saturday last: He murdered' his mistress in Ifew Orleans; was jharried in Boston; was feted By (he democrats fn Baltimore j got drunk and whipped his wife in Columbus, Ohio; beat Kirk | Anderson at a game of “ draw” in Salt ; Lake Cityj robbed a wild cat Bank fxh Wisconsin, and committed sui cide ip Httaburg—all on the same day. ' i Every girl who intends to qualify ihrl should?go through a course of coidcmy. j Hnfprttmately, few wives are ajble to dress anything but themselves; [independent in everything.] “ Good morning, madam. I came to visit your boys and girls awhile." “ lie seated, Sir. Would you like to hear them sing ?" Of course we answered in the affirmative, when the little ones opened at once their books and their mouths, while the teacher led off in appropriate stylo. One bright-eyed little fellow brought us a book to look over while they were sing ing. Wc were right glad that he did, for we rather think without the hook, wc should have known but little about what was sung. After a short explosion of wind and sound all was still, and the little fellows looked at us for a word of approbation ; but before we, had time to collect our thoughts, and say what we could in favor of their young effort, which was decidedly good, their teacher had told them that she was ashamed of their singing—ashamed that they eould not do any better that liiorniug. We wish, dear reader, that you could have seen the effect of that word *• asham ed because the children as well as we knew that their best effort had been put forth, for this reason, if for no-other, that a visitor was present, from whom they ban expected a Word of praise. What could we do ? We were as completely auuihil ated as were the poor chiidrcn. It would never do for us to get up and say they had done well, and, if they were attentive, would be sure to make good singers. No, this would be contradicting their teacher, and thus lesson her in their estimation. So we, too', had to feel that terrible wounding of the spirit, which ev:r attends unkind chiding in families and children. 0 Teachers, if you could only know how many “ young ideas” you have taught to shoot the wrong way, you would level your bows, and turn your arrows in another di rection. Feeling that wc could not stay longer in such a depressing atmosphere, we excused ourselves from hearing any of the classes, bidding them “ good morning,” and step ping outside of the building that our de pressed spirits might be rc-animatcd in the bracing winter-morning air. We thought we would truly sympathize with those children who so frequently ask their teach ers for permission to go out into the free open air. —Newport (iTy.) Fete South. T. D. S. I have found the following rules to be of much service to myself, aud respectful ly suggest to my brethren in the ministry the propriety of testing their merits: 1. Resolve to be brief, as this is an age of telegraphs and stenography. 2. Be pointed, never preach all round your text without hitting it. 3. State your proposition plainly, but do not stop loiig to particularize. 4. Avoid long introductions; but plunge into your sermon .like a swimmer into cold water. 5. Condense j make sure that you have an jdca, and then speak it right out, in the plainest, shortest possible ifiaiiner. ■ 6. Avoid all high language ; quote no Hebrew nor Greek ; aiui to be simply a preacher. ■ 7. Be honest enough to own that you do avail yourself of help from any source. But in using helps, be sure you never make stilts of them, when your own legs are far better 8. Except the Father’s blessing; you a;e his servant, and can do nothing with out it. 9. Stop ichen you arc done. Among the many rules given the preacher, I have found it convenient to adopt the above, as being such as were profitable to me. And now, my brother, if they., will do you any good, you arc welcome to them. George C. Bancroft. Hold on Dae. —The Piqua (S. C.)

Reader are you accustomed to think this as true of yourself is it is of others ? You may ho in perfect health to-day; but has the thought, “ I am mortal," occurred to you ? Swift and, sudden death has come to multitudes; if it should thus come to you, noware you prepared for it? To day have you thought of the end for which you were created ? Have you remembered that though you must die, the soul will live forever, and that God will give to every man the just reward of His deeds— to the righteous, eternal life; to the wick ed, eternal death. Let no care, however pressing, no pursuit, however eager, lead you to forgot this truth “ I must die" —and “ after death the judgment." Says a writer:. In the giddy whirl of the world, men too little pause to reflect that they are mortal. On and on they delve and toil, strive and contend, criminating and recriminating, throwing their whole (souls into the vor tex of the world as if it and its objects were worthy to absorb their whole being. Faiuful object of contemplation ! A few mote passing seasons, mid all who are en gaged in the exciting aud maddening strife of the world, will, one after another, have silently dropped into the bosom of death, no more to be seen of men, soon to be re membered no more oii- tartfy - How un important, then, to be disembodied spirit, jwill appear the trifles which to-day are so much magnified, and which by partial, in terested, and selfish news, are clothed with so much consequence. I must die.! This short sentence, frequently uttered and pondered upon, would go far to mod erate asservity of feeling, eradicate enmi ty from the heart, to coolthe ardor of worldly pursuits, to abate strife and jar ring discord. Secret of Beauty. The editor of “ Life Illustrated,” iu commenting on Bayard Taylor’s descrip tion of the unusual beauty of Polish wo men, discloses the secret of their good looks, as follows : “ There girls do not jump from infancy to young lady-hood. They are not sent fibm the cradle directly to. the parlor, to dress, sit still, and look pretty. No, they arc treated as children should be. Dur ing childhood, which extends through a period of several years] they are plainly and loosely dressed, and allowed to run, rompj and play in the open aif. They take in sunshine as does the flower. They are not girded down, girded about, and op pressed every way with countless frills and superabundant flounces, so as to be ad mired for their much clothing. Nor are, they rendered delicate j and dyspeptic by continual stuffing with candies and street cakes, as are the majority of the American chiidrcn. Plain, simple food, free and various exercise, an d abundance of sun shii e during the whole period of child hood, are tho secrets of beauty in after life.” A Skcuet.—“ How do you do Mrs. Briggs ? Have you heard that story about Mrs. Ludy ?” ; Why, no, really Sirs. Gad —what is it, do tgll /” “ Oh, I promised not to tell for the world! No I must tell on’t—l am afraid it will get out.” ; “ No, I will never opep my mouth about it —never.

Prayer at once se cures the continuance our blessings, and dissipates the cloud ofour calamities. 0, blessed prayer! thou- art the unwearied conqueror of human Woes, the firm foun dation of human happiness, the source of every enduring joy, the mother of Philos ophy. The man who can pray truly, though languishing in the extremest in digence, is rtoher besides; whilst the wretch who neyer bowed the knee, though proudly seated as the monarch of all nations, is ofailing the most destitute. — Chrysostom. > ';i . ... • •. n - . 19* We ought to balance the good with 'the bad, and .also the }|ngth of time a man has Uvea, to form a true estimate of his character.
