THE SAVIOt R-S NAME
There is a name I lore to hear.
I love to speak ii worth:
It sounds like raufie ia mine ear.
The sweetest n&me on earth.
It tells me of a Saviours ktTe,
Who died o set me free:
It lells me of his precious blood
The sinner's perfect plea-
It tells me of a Father's smile
Beaming upon bis child.
It cheers me thro" this "little while,'
Tfcro' desert, waste, and wild.
It tells me what a Father hath,
In store for every day.
And the' I tread a darksome path.
Yields sunshine all the way. *
It tells of one. whose ioving heart
Can feel my deepest woe.
W'bo in my sorrow hears a part
That none can hear below.
Il bids my trembling soul rejoice:
It dries each rising tear :
It tells me in a "still small voice'*
To trnstf and not to fear.
Jesus', the name I love so well.
The name I love to bear,
No saiut on earth its worth can tell.
Xo heart conceive how dear.
This name shall shed its fragrance still,
Along this thorny road—
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hiii.
That leads me up to God.
And there with a!! the brood bought
throng.
From sin. and sorrow free —
!"li sing the Xew Eternai Sor.z
Of Jesus' lov- for me.

The Conversative merchant insisted that

It is bat one more attempt to break my

A TERRIBLE BEDFELLOW.
1 looked at my neighbor with considerable
curiosity. Hb face indicated a man of not
, over thirty years—a pirfod at which men
are still voung, but his hair war as white as
fresh fallen snow. Owe seldom, sees even
j on the beads of the oldest men. hair of such
! imtnaccuiate whiteness. He sat by my side
in a car of the Great Western Railroad, in
I Canada, and was looking oat at the window.
Suddenly turning his head he caught me in
I the act of stanngf bias -a r*dee of which
' I wa ashamed. I was about to say some
words of apology, when he quietly remark
i e^: . i
• "Don't mention it, sir lin used to it.'
The frankness of this observation pleased
me. and in a very little while we were con
versing on terms of familiar acquaintance
ship. and before long he had told me the
whole stOT. .... ~
"I was a soldier in the army of India,
said he, "and as is often the case with sol
diers I was a little too fond of good liquor.
One dar I got drunk and was shut up in
the black hole forth 1 laid down upon the
floor of the dungeon and was just dropping
off to sleep, when I felt a cold, slimy shape
crawling across my right hand, as it lay
stretched out above my head on the floor.
I knew at once what it was —a snake! Of
course my first impulse was to draw away
my hand, tut knowing if I did so the poi
sonous reptile would probably strike its
fangs into me, I lay still with toy heart beat

course my fright sobered mc instantly. I
realized all my peril in its fullest extent. O.
how I lamented the hour that I had touch
ed liquor! In every glass of liquor they
-ay tnere is a serpent: hut it does not come
to everybody Jin the shape it came to me.
With a slow undulating motion the reptile
dragged its carcass across ray face, inch by
inch, and crept down over my breast, and
tbru-t its head inside my jacket. As I felt
the hideous scraping of the slimy body over
my cheeks it was only by the most tremen
dous effort that I succeeded in restraining
myself from yelling loudly with mingled
terro-and di-gust. At last licit the tail
wriggling down towards my ehin, but ima
gine what I felt at heart, if you ore imagine
it. as I realized that the dreadful creature
had coiled ireelf up under my jacket as I lay
and had seemingly gone to sleep, for it was
still a- death Evidently it had no idea
that I was a human creature; if it had it
would not have acted in this manner. All
snakes arc c wardly, and they will not are
proach a man unles.- to strike bim in self
defence. Three b >urs 1 lay with that dread
ful weight in my bosom, and each minute
was bke an hour to me —like a year! I
seemed to have lived a life-time in that
brief space. Every incident of my life past

all the time mv tress; was growing colder
ami colder where the snake lay against it
with nothing but * thin cotton shirt between

strike: but I felt I could not v ear this much
longer. Even if I -ucceeded in lying still

He opened the door. The snake— a cobra

IMAGINATION.
The infiu DCC of imagination u-A only
cured a riri of a painful malady, but also
proved the mean- wherewith to wipe off a
i tavern score which had been run up by a
*et of graceless and moneyless young gem.-.
This case rweuTred in the early manhood of
fohief Justice Holt. One day, fer a youth
fa! frolic. Holt and a number of hi* young
friend* had put up at a country tavern. At
a time for their departure tbey fosnd them
-elves with empty pockets; not a penny
•j'd they muster with which to meet the
claims of Boniface.. For a while they were
at a -- what to do jr. loch a& awkward
predicament. Holt, however, perceived
that the inn-keeper - daughter looked quite
nasei:. and on inquiry aa to what wa- the
matter with her. wa* informed that she had
the aitje. Holt cow naa-ed himself '-ff for
a medical -tudeoL and assurtd the girl and
her patent* that "be poaeeesed an infallible
cure f r her romplainL He then collected
s number of plants, mixed them up with va
rir-u* ceremonies, ted inciosesj them in par h
n whwh he scrawled divers cababus
tie dimeters. Wben ah was completed h--
ru-y■ended the amulet around the neck of
the- young girl, and. strange to say, the ague
left her and never returned. The landlord,
j rratofai for the cure which had been effect
ed on hie daughter, not only declined to re
re-ire any payment from the young men. but
p!'-d them to rem vo free of charge a*
'one as they pleased. Many yean after
when Holt wa on the bench, a w-.man was
brought before bini charged with witchcraft:
she was accused of enrier the ague by

QUEER VICTORIA AND HER RAYS. |
A late London letter says that the queen i
will not drive through the royal gateway of j
the Palace, tew has she since her hu.sland
died. She wii: not rule through the .ina! I
entrance to the House of Lords, but goes ia
through the Peer- entraoee. She trill not
wear the royal robes, and when she opens
Parliament in [ r.on, the robes are thrown
over the back of the throne, which is a gilded
chair surmounted with a gift crown, and
sits on them She oornes to London when
duty calls, seldom passes a night in her capi-!
ta!. and has passed less than a dozen in four
years. She remains in quiet at Windsor or !
Osborne. She has no company but what j
her official i>o-tiion impose* on her The
state apartments at Windsor are a!! disman
tled, and are unused—the massive plate ia
not used, a [laiu silver service is put on the
table —a small, quiet popy ami low wheeled
carriage the. queen uses for her private rides
at Windsor, and -Le seidom. unless duty calls
her to London, goes l*yond the private park
of the Castle. The hundred horses that fill
the Windsor mews are seldom used, and the
eight creames fer state occasions are not
driven twice a year.
The room in which the prince consort
breathed his last is kept with scrupulous
care: just as the prince left it. ladies
say that each night the dressing gown and
slippers ere put in their accustomed place.
The queen's confidential attendant is a
Highlander by the name of Brown. He
takes ail the orders from the queen—and
bare-legged messengers come from the
"queen's apartments ' at Windsor wht-n
Her Majesty is to be served. This Brown
has been the occasion of a world of talk.
He is about fifty —tali and spare— with great
assurance, aDd attend- the queenjio and from
London. Great attempts hare been made
to dislodge him. bat all in . Git. Ttit queen
has a will of her own Brown was the
prince consort's Highland .-e rant, anu was
held by him in all honor. While Victoria
rules Eocknd. Brown will rule the royal
household.

THE LATE HISTORIAN ALISON.
By a "ble de-patch, we are informed oi'
th"..* deal. ol .tir Aichibald Alison, the emi- !
ncnt historian and ticotrrb advocate. Tbe !
! deceased writer and lawyer was tbe eldest
; -on of the Itev Archibald Alison, author of
the Essay on 1 aste, wa- t,rn at Kenley,
in Keotiand, oniLe li'Ah ofDecembcr, J792,
and educated in Edinburgh, where his father
was settled. He studied law. and was ad
mitted to the bar in IXI4. He afterwards
traveled extensively in Europe. In Is2B he
j wa appointed nne,.f the royal council, and
Jin 1 v; 4 Sheriff of Lanark-hire. one of the
: highest and most responsible judicial offices
! in Scotland.
He had already established a high repara
tion there by hi* two work;. "The Princi
ples of the Criminal Law of Scotland," and
'"The Practice of the Criminal. Law," which
have become standard authorities with the
Srottiah bar. His •'History of Europe from
tbo Commencement of the French Revolu
tion to the Restoration ol the Bourbons, ' in
twenty volumes, Svo. the first of which ap
peared m 1 "<33, t -tablifbed his reputation.
Tbe work ran through numerous editions,
not withstanding its extent and numerous
reprint; in Paris, Brussels, and America,
and was translated not only into FreDeh and
German, but also into Hindostand and
Arabic.
Mr. Alison wa- a high tory, strongly op
; posed to ad inuvations. and looked upon the
i reform bill of 1 x;>u a- the cocnmencetaent of
tbe ruin of England. In this spirit he for
; many years contributed articles toßiackwood;
Magazine on most of the important events
of the day. A selection of there ha.- been
published under the title of 1 "Essays.' Be
sides these he published z work entitled
"Principles of Population,' in which he
combats the theory of Malthas: in 1845.
"England in 1 SIS and 1 -45; or a Sufficient
lor Contracted Currency; 'and in 1847. 1 The
Life of the Duke of Alariborough." He
next eneaged on a continuation of his his
tory of Europe to the la-.t overthrow of the
French monarchy.
WHAT A SPIDER EATS IN A DAT

the way of eating, we rose about daybreak
one morning, to -apply his fine web with a
fly. At fir-t. however, the -pider did not

THE REV. IK. SPI'KfiEOM.
ID a notice of Mr. Spurgeon, in connection
with the Seven Dials ballad poetry, the Lon
don Quarterly Rftiac says: ''Mr. Spur-
Kcon fcr the I act few year" has probabiy
preached more sermons, in better English,
in spite of their slang, with a mightier voice,
to a greater nnmber of thousands, in a larger
rotunda than any other young man of the
age. All ages, ranks, and classes, have
| been found among his audience, from the
lays fthe front rows and halfguinea reser
ved seats at the Surrey Music Hall, to the
present free seats at the Tabernacle: critics
embryo orators, profound admirers and un
: -.roily scoffers, ladies of fashion, unbelievers,
and Christians of every known shade, have
all 'sat under' bim. So great is his elo
quence that, in the words of our poet—
•He can please the Duke, the lord, the squire.
And ladies with gold lockets,
He can make the very sovereigns jump
Oat of old women's pockets.'
So mighty is the thunder of his eloquence
that—
•lf Spurgeon went into St. Paul's,
I'm sure he'd not dissemble,
His voice would make the dome to rite-
And St. Paul's church for to tremble.'
So winning are his persuasive powers as
to make guineas fly from the closest of 'but
toned pockets;' to rouse his hearers to the
heights of kingdom come,' or sink them to
the depths of troubled anxiety about their
'poor souls,' or, as our poet again expres
ses it. "An't ho the one to harass?' In the
great days of his Exeter Hall performances,
when the Tabernacle was yet unbuilt, Mr.
Spurgeon Is said —though the story is prob
ably mvthiea!—to have delighted and amaz
ed his great band of admiring disciples by
sliding down the balusters of the rostrum
from which he preached, frcm the top to the
bottom, to illustrate the fatal ease with
which man slide? into the pit of destnietion
while sliding up again was to symbolize the
difficulty of winning his way back to the
| path of virtue. Action, gesticulation, and
frantic ejacutation of the freest kind, were
among the favorite weapon; of these orato
j rical displays, and it is probably to some
: well known and favorite resort of this kind
i that the bard alludes when he says—
i *He can look above and look below,
He can deeply sigh and groan, ah!
: He can shake the rocks and swallow the whaie.
He's a greater man than Jonab.'
No wonder, therefore, that—
•This wonderful man surprises the laud
Parson, lawyer, snob and surgeon,
From every place they run a race
To the wonderful man called Spnrgeoo."
NEWSPAPERS.
The /irttt is an educational force of won
krful potency. The humble and unpre
tending newspaper tLat coine; every week
into a dwelling contributes imperceptibly
I but certainly to the intellect uai growth of
all the people therein. Indeed, it is not
difficult, in the obscurer walk; of life, to de
i teet what kind ot newspapers a man read
by the opinions he draws and the methods
by which he states and defends them.
; K .me men who pass lor more than ordinarily
* intelligent and thoughtful know very Bttle
axceot what they have learned from the
! newspapers. Nay, let any one sit down and
deliberately pass in review his stock of
knowledge, accurately discriminate what he
is indebted to the newspaper for. and what
: he has acquired through other sources, and
he will be surprised to hod how large are
his obligations to the public journals. An
I uncommonly shrewd observer of men and
one personally acquainted with most of the
eminent men of his day. remarked that some
of the most conspicuous among them radi
ant with genius, and all other qualities rc
; qui rite to constitute great leaders, were
mainly newspaper men that is, they relied
through long and brilliant careers chiefly
ir-on newspaper; for facts suggestive of
j ideas, and largely for the discus-ion whereby
! the real and apparent were separated from
! each other.
It may be said moreover, that new-pa
pers manufacture more great men than arc
j made by any other process. It is a matter
i of notoriety that very few public men, upon
; deliberate hearing and actual review, bear
■ any fair proportion to the reputation they
enjoy. slany men for whom nature ha;
done better, and art less, have a color-sal
fame which will not bear to be examine!
too cl-ely. In these case; the difference
between t&e real and the imaginary is the
! product of newspaper laudation. The pub
lic may not fee', under obligations to the
y,r- -=• in this matter. but the fortunate indi-
I viduals who reach hisrh positions through
this expenditure of ink have abundant rea
sons to prove that the new* pa per is a pow

TRUTH AT HOME.
Of aO happy households, that is the hap
piest where falsehood is never thought of.
AD peace is broken up when once it ap
pears that there is a itar in the bouse.
411 comfort is gone when suspicion has en
tered—when there must be a reserve in talk,
| and reservation in behalf. Anxious parents
who are aware of the pain; of suspicion,
will place genera! confidence in their chil
dren. and receive what they say freely, un
less there is a strong rea-on to distrust the
truth of any one. Should such an occasion
unhappily arise, they must keep the suspi
cion from spreading as long as possible, and
avoid disgracing their poor child while there
! is a chance of its cure by their confidential
assistance He should have their pity and
•heir a-idnous help, as if he were suffering
from some disgusting bodily disorder. If
he can be cured, he will become truly grate
ful for the treatment. It the endeavor
fails, means must, of course, be taken to
prevent hi-exampie from doing harm apd
