[From the Dublin Xation.]
THE IRISH TEIMT AT WILL.
To-night my lire is Cunt and low.
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

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!

“ 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.

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.

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.

Mrs. Ludy ?” ;

The Value op Prayer. —Prayer is
the haven of the shipwrecked man," an an
chor to them who are sinking in the waves,
a staff to the limbs that totter, a mine of
jewels to the poor, a heftier of diseases, and
a guardian of health. 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.
