EVERY LITTLE HELPS
—:o:
Suppose a little twinkling star,
Away in yonder sky,
Should say, "What light can reaeh so far
From such a star as I ?
Not many rays of mine so far
As yonder earth can fall ; .
Tho others so muoh brighter are,
I will not shine at all.
Suppose a bright green leaf, that grows
Upon the rose•bush near,
Should say, "Because I'm not a rose,
I will not linger here ;"
Or that a dew-drop, fresh and bright,
Upon that fragrant flower,
Should say "I'll vanish out of sight,
Becauso I'm not a shower."
Suppose a little child should say,
`'Because I'm nut a man,
I will not try, in word or play,
To do what good I can.
Dear child, each star sous light can givo,
Though gleaming faintly there ;
Each rose-leaf helps the plant to live ;
Each dew-drop keeps it fair.
And our good rather who's in Heaven,
And doth all creatures view,
To every little ohild has given
Some needful work to do.
Kind deeds toward those with whom you
Kind words and actions right [live,
Shall, 'midst the world's deep darkness,give
A precious little light.
If there is a civilization to whose
merits we aro more generally and
thoroughly unjust than to those of any
other, it is the Chinese. If there is a
historical phenomenon whose wonder
ful and anomalous character fails to
attract a duo share of our attention
and study, it is the persistency of Chi
nese national life. The present Em
peror of the Flowery Lund is the lineal
successor of an almost endless line of
sovereigns, running back into times
deemed pre-historic by nearly every
other race; and ho is charged with ad
ministering institutions which grew
up on the very ground ho occu-pies—
originated, developed, and handed
down by the same people that now
lives under them. When not a single
Germanic tribe had learned to read
and write, China had entered upon her
modern era. When petty Roman
chiefs, whose very existence is doubt
ed by the historical criticism of our
day, were brawling in an obsqure Ital
ian village, the representative man of
China was casting in a form which
should endure forever the gradually
elaborated wisdom of numberless gen
erations of his ancestors. When the
Greeks, happily settled near to the
homes of older systems of culture, wore
only preparing the way for that glori
ous career on which they later enter
ed, the Chinese state had already be
come, in the main, what it is now.
When the Hebrews were wearily wan
dering through the deserts in search
of their promised land, tho Yellow
River of China had been shut in, and
its meadows reclaimed from devasta
tion by the same public works which
still stand, maintained by the same
race, for the same purpose. Through
how many hands has the inestimable
gift of culture passed on its way to us!
How have its chief possessors, one af
tey another, been swept away—worn
out, as it were, by their efforts to sus
tain and advance it ! How worsderful,
then, is the calm continuance of the
Chinese nation and its institutions!
It is easy for us to sneer at Chinese
civilization, and cast contempt upon
its products; but it is so immeasurably
superior to anything that our own an•
ewers had attained but a few centu
ries ago, that we, who have climbed to
our present height upon the shoulders
of men alien to our race, would do well
to be a little modest. A people who
taught the world to make silk and por-
celain, who invented the compass, gun
powder, and the art of printing; who
have produced a literature exceeded
in value and interest only by those of
a very fow other• races, the acknowledg
ed leaders in human history—such a
people is too secure in its position to
be affected by the taunts of such up•
starts as we aro. Undoubtedly we aro
right in believing that our culture con
tains far higher elements than theirs,
and is upborne by a more energetic
and progressive capacity ; there are
radical deficiencies and incongruities in
Chinese character that justify the feel
ing of distaste with which we contem
plate it; but this neither excuses our
wholesale depreciation and disregard,
nor takes away the interest of the his
torical problem set before us.
MAN AND WIFE.—We• have some
times heard ministers, in closing a mar
riage ceremony, say o "1 pronounce
you man and wife." in an account of
a grand matrimonial affair in Brook
lyn, a few days ago, the papers used
the same expression, "they wore made
man and wife." We never hear the
announcement, or see it in print eith
er, but wo aro reminded of a very just
criticism made upon it in our hearing
twenty years ago, by a certain Theo
logical Professor, when he came across
it in a work of Dr. Smith, of Charles
OP, When be read it he stopped and
exclaimed ; "Just as though the man
was not a man before he married him.
Why not say husigzad and wife? these
aro co-relative terms—man and wife
aro not," This is a hint for preachers.
Let 'Squiresfollow.their own course.—
.Exchange.
GLAZIER & BRO
The above reminds us of a too re
cent practice of registering names at
hptels. and lady," as if the
gent. was ashamed to acknowledge the
lady* as his wife—or for some other
reason.
We also recollect of an acquaintance
once who bad but lately been married,
introducing his wife as ray womon.
-PERSEVERE.-
A Wonderful Race.
"I'll Take What Father Takes."
"What will you take to drink ?" ask
ed the waiter of a young lad who, for
the first time, accompanied his father
to a public dinner. Uuncertain what
to say, and feeling sure that he could
not bo wrong if he followed his father's
example, ho replied, "I'll take what
father takes."
The answer reached his father's ear,
and instantly the full responsibility of
his position flashed upon him. If he
said, "I'll take ale," as he bad always
said before, his son would take it also,
and then ? And the Sather shuddered,
as the history of several young men
who, once promising as his. own bright
lad, had been ruined by drink, started
up in solemn warning before him.—
Should his hopes also be blasted and
that open faced noble lad become a
burden and curse, as they had become
But for strong drink, they would have
been active, earnest, prosperous men ;
and if it could work such ruin upon
them, was his own lad safe? Quicker
than lightning these thoughts passed
through his mind, and in a moment
the decision was made. "If the boy
falls, ho shall not have me to blame;"
and then in tones tremulous with em
otion to the astonishment of those who
knew him, he said, "Waiter, I'll take •
water;" and from that day to this,
strong drink has boon banished from
that man's table and from that man's
home.
That young lad, in this brief utter
ance, was really the representative of
the generation to which he belongs.—
God has so decreed it, that a father
is the highest authority in the world
to his child. Who does not know that
"My father said so" is the end of all
controversy with the little ones around
us ? Who does not see the parent's
tones, and gait, and manners reprodu
ced continually in the children, whose
nature is now "soft as wax to receive
an impression, and rigid as marble to
retain it ;" and who watch with a
quick and imitating eye those who, to
them, aro God's vicegerents ?
Would that wo could impress upon
the fathers and mothers of this coun
try the solemn fact, that the future
character - of the children is being form
ed by them. That if they aro trained
up in the way they should go, when
they are old they will not depart from
it. But if they become vain, sensual,
and degraded, the seeds will have been
deposited and the bias given in the
early morning of their lives. If wo
teach thorn that strong drink is a good
creature of God, they will believe us ;
and when depending upon our judg
ment and truth, they shall have taken
it, and it shall have shown itself to be
the devil's master piece, and have bit
ten, and crushed, and dragged them
down to ruin, we may weep and pray
as we please—the blame will be our
own, and we must not accuse God, or
cast reflection upon the gospel. We
shall have sown to the flesh, and of
the flesh have reaped corruption. God
will have visited the sins 'of the fathers
upon 'the children. They only "took
what their fathers took." If, on the
other hand, we banish the fiend when
their young and trusting hearts aro
most open to our teaching, we
tell them that wine is a mocker, that
strong drink is raging, and warn them
that no serpent is so dangerous, no
adders so much to be dreaded, we shall
be co-workers with all-merciful and
wise God who, to preserve them from
taking it, has sent them into the world
with a loathing of its very taste. Our
children will believe us. They will
grow up with their natural instinct for
tified by our instruction and example.
They mill be preserved from tho poi
sonous influence of the destroyer.—
There will be a bridgeless gulf between
them and the companions who are
most likely to lead them into the ways
of sin. They will be preserved from
habits of extravagance and waste.—
They will have no companions but those
who walk in the ways of God; no em
ployment for their spare time but that
which is elevating and purifying, and
when we pass to our reward, they will
rise up and call us blessed, for they
"took what their fathers took."

of strings and buttons. Silks and laces
and tattered under clothes. Diamond
rings and soiled collar. Feather and
flowers, and battered cap frill. Silk
stockings and shabby boots. Who
has not seen her ? If you are a per

mated slippers, tippets, belt ribbons,
hair pins, pictorials, magazines, fash

vainly round for a chair that is suffi

on. Look at the dingy muslin window

and pillow cases, the unfreshness of
everything your eye falls upon. Open
the closet door, and see the piles of

heaped pellmell upon their pegs; see
the bandboxes without covers, and all
the horrible paraphernalia of a lazy,
inefficient, vacant, idealess female mon

out of a bevy of good, practical, com

prides himself on "his knowledge of

have seen wretched females trying,
with woman's beautiful instinct, to

Preservation and Cultivation of Fish.
We copy from the Now York " Week
ly" the following. It shows the inter
est taken by the New England States
on this important matter. The Sus
quehanna and its tributaries can fur
nish more of the finny tribe than all
the streams of New England combined,
yet our people leave their streams year
after year.to be pirated
. by fish bask
ets, thereby. rendering nugatory the
utmost endeavors of those who are try
ing'to bring back this delicious luxury
to our doors. It is to be hoped that in
the - ccming year all such obstructions
shall be'plit an end to.
A society has - been ferried at Green
field,Ms.,to prev,ent the extermination of
trout in the neighboring streams. LELA
week a, meeting was held at Bostdn
under the auspices of the Board of Fish
Commissioners to consider the subject
of the restoration and propagation of
fish in the rivers from which they have
been excluded by dams. Hon. Harry
Jewell; Speaker of the Massachusetts
House of Representatives, presided..
Prof. Agassiz stated'that the subject
was one whose. importance could not
be over-estimated. It was a matter
affecting coming generations, and one
which should occupy the attention of
our statesmen.
"His Words, ho said;•might seem ex
travagant, but what is now advocated
by the Fish CoMmissions stands intim
same relation as the first attempts stood
to domesticate bulls and raise cattle.
How could the population of this conti
nent go on if we "had no artificial pro
duction of fetid ? Was it ever consid
ered, he asked, that the whole popula
tion of this country, without exception,
are daily fed by substances all of which
are raised artificially? Wo live upon
beef or fowl, and upon Vegetables and
fruit, no one kind of Which is indigo
nods to this continent. All were
brought froth the old world to be rais
ed artificially here, and more than that,
all have died out in their wild state.
What is now proposed by the commis
sioners, is to add one kind of this sup
ply of food for our benefit, that man
may feed on a greater variety. Hero
he said he touched upon a point which
was equally important. It is a varie
ty of food taken daily to build up
the human frame, to cultivate the brain,
and develop° the faculties, which is ad
vancing civilization. .The more the
variety of food and better adapted to
these purposes, the higher our civiliza
tion."
He further asserted that the Cultiva
tion of fish could and should be made
as profitable as cattle, fruit, or wheat
raising, or any other "branch of agri,
culture." The "time will come when
every man who has water on his ground
will raise fish for his own table,
as he
now raises: fruit." The general and
State governments should take hold of
this subject; and give it all the encour
agement and assistance required. The
professor also argued that sanitary rea
sons should impel us to the general cul
tivation of fish.'
"If there is ono thing of which the
American peoplelave a right to coin
plain, it is of the uniformity of their
diet. Men are most healthy and more
enduring in proportion as they: vary
their diet and take proper•tfne.to eat,
to chew their food. No; creature in
the universe requires such a variety of
food as man. The fish enters largely
into the requisites of the system. 'lt is
a kind of food which refreshes the sys
tem, especially after intellectual fa
tigue. There is no other article of
food that supplies the waste of the
head so thoroughly as fish diet, and the
evidence of it is in the fact that all the
inhabitants of the sea-shore the world
over, are the brighter population of the
country. Fish contain phosphorus to a
largo extent, a chemical element which '
the brain requires for growth and
health. lie would not' say that an ex
clusive use of fish would make a block
head a wise man, but that the brain
should not be wanting in one of its es
sential elements."
Col. Theodore Lyman, of the' New
England Commissioners of River Fish
eries, gave an account of the various
kinds of fish which once inhabited the
inland streams, and explained how
they could be restored. He recommend
ed the introduction of black bass, and
exhibited the model of the "Foster
fishway" to enable fish to pass over
river dams at the season of the year
when they were formerly accustomed
to ascend from the sea in order to de
posit their spawn. Col. Lyman also
exhibited a model of the plan pursued
by Seth Green, of Mumford, Now York,
for restocking fish. * * * -He (Mr. G.)
last year turned over fifty millions of
shad into the Connecticut River, beside
realizing $lO,OOO from the sale of fish
and spawn. * * * Boston has set an
example in this matter which should
be followed all over the country. The
fish have in late years been rapidly
disappearing from our streams before
the encroachments of civilization, and
the mill-dams and fatal tan-bark threat
en to ere long deprive a-altogether of
the dint which Prof. Agas . siz assures
us is so requisite for theligrowth and
health of the brain." Judging frotathe
success which has attended Mr. Green's
endeavors, parties in this State could
raise fish with great profit for the New
York market. We hear that an inter
prise of this kind is soon to be started
in Now Jersey.

The Rev. Marvin R. Vincent, of -the.
First Presbyterian Church in Troy,.
has published four discourses upon the
value of amusement as a force in Chris.
tian training, which ought to have a
wider circulation than they are likely
to obtain in their present form.' . The
author takes up, the cause of cheerful-
Christianity, and answers the argu
ments-of those who seek to find some
thing wicked in many of, the innocent
and healthful games of the day. ,
It is hold to fie innocent for boys to
play marbles, but sinful to play •domiL
noes; it` is' sinful •to play 'billiards : . • but
highly graceful and innocent to 'play
croquet. Mr. Vincent fails to see the
ethical distinctions here - eipiessed ; he
finds it difficult to distinguish between
the wickedness of Willi of iron and the
good of balls of wood; between mallets
and cues, and between,green.-baize
and green grass. A Christian house.
held must not sit down to_ a game of.
whist, according to some authorities,
but they can spend ,p. • pious evening
over Dr. Busby ; a game
, involving
good deal of healthy mental exertion
is condemned, while the Silly,- "profit
less Busby cards - are admitted. 'Mr.
Vincent writes : • • • • ,
"Youth must not dance, but : they
may march to music in company, anti

volving a, good 'deal more motion than
dancing. But if people may march to

to see how' skipping to -music converts

furnished their newroom,;hey
on the principle that prayer 'meetings

and 'the result was that :about . six.

' We learn from authentic sourees that

came so popular that `The keepers of

bring about a schism in the ranks by

Mr. Vincent makes soine- admirable
hits at the fallacy in the arguments of
those who would shut out all amuse
ments., , Ho says that some people ei
claim "Think of Paul datteiog, or
Peter playing DO you think
we shall have checker boards in heav
en ?" This, he says, is no argument--
it is sheer nonsense,-and most uowor
thy.trifling over a serious subjeot.-1
"Think of Paul dancing !"Well, think

CREAKING SHOES.—Vulcan, it is said,
being jealous of Venus, made creaking
shoes for her, so that be might hear
ber whenever she stirred. , It is a pity
that there should be any classical an
thority for the crepitus crepidre. In the
street, very often in the concert room,
and not unfrequently in -the church
aisle, the creaking and squeaking. of
the people's leather shoes goes far to
prove they have no genxine music in
their spiritual souls. The effect arises
from dryness of the leather in , part,
but correctly speakihg, the creaking
depends upon-the - sudden compression
of the air contained between two Bur
faces.of leather.; just as the sound is
produced by the clapping of. bands by
the air thus set in vibration. Shoes
with thin soles, it is said, never creak,
and by interposing a piece of , oil:silk.
between the . two soles, the eoont4et of
their surface may be . so insured. as ,10
