Receives Christ a? a Little Child.
The profound intellect of Hishop Hut
ler was able to remove doubts respecting
Christianity as a divine system, from the
minds ol others. I have beforp me the
record of three persons who were convin
j ced of the truth ol the gospel, and their
| own lost condition as sinners, by the study
of his Analogy of Keligion. Yet Hntler
himself was in darkness in his last hours.
A friend in attendance said to him, ' You
do not believe it. Christ. He is able to
save o the uttermost, that come unto God
by him.' ' 1 never understood that verse
belore,' said the dying Hishop, after a mo
ment's reflection, and those words of the
divine Teacher lifted the clouds of doubt,
and restored confidence and peace tp Jjis
| soul. All his life he had been studying
i the mysteries of redemption, but the truth
by which he was brought to rest on Christ
j at last, was so plain and simple that the
| little child may understand it.
Perhaps no one ev.r won a prouder
homage to his intellectual greatness, from
his own age, than l)r. Johnson. Hut in
' all his wide surveys of knowledge, he
; found no lofty and exclusive portal through
which intellects lite his might enter the
kingdom of heaven. He must Low low
and enter the door of faith in Christ, side
by side with the little child. Throughout
his life he recognized the cross as the only
way to heaven, and this conviction deepen
ed to its close. llis last days he spent in
I prayer and strong entreaties, lying low at
! the throne of grace. To his faithful ne
| gro servant he was frequently explaining
• the simple truths of the Hi hie, often say
! ing to him, ' Attend, Francis, to the salva
tion of your soul, which is of the greatest
. importance.'
It has been said of John Foster, that
'few spirits can have passed away from
earth endowed with more intellectual grasp
and penetration to meet the wonders and
grandeurs of regions immense and untrav
ersed.' Yet one year before his death he
said, 'lf that gr-at cause of faith and
hope, the all sufficient merits and atone
ment of our Lord and Saviour were taken
away, I should have nothing left." On his
death-bed, when conscious of the failure of
his mental powers he exclaimed, ' Hut I
can pray and that is a glorious thing.'
In the one great and all important con
cern of life, how insignificant are those
distinctions of whiph the v/orjd thinks and
makes gq much. Are we great, hero we must
become humble. Are we lowly, here we
stand on a level with thp greatest; for
' whosoever shall not receive the kingdom
of heaven as a little child, shall not en
ter therein.' The gospel of Christ! in its
adaption to man, how wonderful; in its
beneficence, how worthy of its divine Au
thor !— American Messenger.
MORE NICE THAN WISE.
I)V MARGARET LYON.
A carriage stopped at the door, the bell
was rung, and a few moments afterwards
Amy Leslie had her arms around the neck
of dear, good Auut Phoebe.
'Oh ! 1 am so glad to see you ! I am so
glad you've come!' exclained Amy, her
face glowing with pleasure.
The old lady kissed the niece tenderly ;
then held her off and looked at her with
motherly tenderness.
'Not a bit changed! It is two years
since you were married, and your cheeks
are as round and blooming, and your eyes
as bright, as when I last looked into them.
A happy wife, I see. And why not ?
John Leslie wa3 always a good son, and I
have no fear about his making a good hus
band. He was a pet of mine you know.'
'Yes, I remember,' said Amy, as she
drew her arm within Aunt Phoebe's and
led her up stairs. 'He was your pattern
youcg liaau. Hut he isn't perfect. You
don't know any until you've lived with
them.'
Aunt Phoebe stopped and looked up into
Ally's face a little curiously.
' Oh, you needn't fix your sharp eyes on
me after that fashion !' said Amy, laugh
ing. ' Men are no more perfect than wo
men.'
' Husbands should be perfect in the
eyes of their wives/ remarked Aunt
Phoebe.
THURSDAY. JULY 26. 1860.
' And wives perfect in the eyes of their
husbands ?'
' Of course.'
' Then we are exceptions,' said Amy, as
they entered the chamber prepared for
Aunt Phoebe. ' For neither ol us thinks
the other perfect.'
Amy laughed again a gay little laugh—
the sound of which was not pleasant to the
old lady's ears.
' How is John V she asked.
'Oh, he's well ; and will be so glad to
see you.'
' How does lie get ulong in business ?'
'Very well, 1 believe. Hut he complains
of being worked half to death.'
' lie's young and strong/ said Aunt
Phoebe. ' And a close application tp. busi
ness won't hurt him.'
' Hut he conies home so tired out as to
be right down ill-natured sometimes. And
J don't like that.'
' I'm sorry,' was all Aunt Phoebe replied,
and then asked for the baby.
'Oh, he's sweet!' a;;d a gtaam of sun
shine irradiated the young mother's counte
nance. ' Come ; he's sleeping in the next
room;' and she drew Aunt Phoebe into
the chamber, where her baby treasure lay.
' Isn't he lovely Aunt ?'
' Peay angel!' said the old lady bending
over the crib, and gazing with delighted
eyes upon the rasy infant.
' And so John is a little cross sometimes?'
remarked Aunt Phoebe, as they sat togeth
ip the sitting-groom, not long afterwards.
< Yes, cross as a bear now and then, if I
must say so,' replied Amy.
• Oh, not so bad as that,' said Aunt
Phoebe. ' Cross as a bear is pretty strong
language. 1 can't believe it of John.'
Amy's fiice grew serious; then fell into
deep shadow.
' What's the matter, dear? You don't
look happy. Nothing wrong, I hope ?' aud
Aunt Phoebe laid her hand on Amy's arm
and looked at her rather anxiously
' Oh, no—nothing very wrong. iiut
' and Amy paused.
'Hut what? Nothing very wrong?—
Then there is something wrong?'
' Well the truth is, Aunt Phoebe, John
isn't as amiable or good-tempered as he
used to be. lie's careless and disorderly
about the house; and if L say a word to
him, he gets into a huff. Now, if there is
one thing I do like, it is order and neat
ness at home; and John tries me dread
fully. I don't know what has come over
him.'
' I'm sorry!'
It was Aunt Phoebe's only remark on
that subject at the time. Hut she deter
mined to look on with open eyes, and see
where the evil lay, that was casting already
a shadow upon the heart of her niece.
'John will he home in a little while,'
said Amy, as the twilight began to fall.
'All, there is his key in the door, and
that's his step in the passage;' and she
went out to meet him, closing the room
door after her.
Aunt Phoebe listened as they moved
along the passage to where the hat rack
stood.
' There!' she heard her niece say, in
rather an uuamiable tone; 'don't throw
your hat down on the chair in that way.
Why dou't you hang it up ?'
John made some reply, hut she did not
hear it distinctly His voice struck her as
being q little rough.
'On that lower peg again ! Don't you
see that your coat touches the floor?'
' It won't hurt the floor,' came to Aunt
Phoebe's ears, in an annoyed tone.
' Incorrigible !' responded Ainy.
A few moments of silence followed.—
Then she heard her niece say;
' Aunt Pfjpebe is in the parlor.'
In the next instant the door flew open,
and John hurried across the room, and,
grasping Aunt Phoebe's hand, said with
warmth:
' This is a pleasure! How glad lam to
see you! and he held her hand tightly,
looking fondly into her face.
A crowd of questions and answers fol
lowed each other closely on both sides, in
the midst of which Amy broke in with :
' Don't put your foot on the round of
that chair, John; you'll rub the varnish
off.'
John removed his foot without making
any answer. Hut Aunt Phoebe saw his
brow gather slightly with a sign of dis
pleasure. They went on talking, and pres
ently the young man, who had taken a seat
near the window, took hold of the cord
which looped back the curtain, and com
menced running it through his fin
gers.
' You'll fray that cord, John/ said Amy.
1 Do let it alone !'
John still kept it in his hand as if he
had not heard her, and still toyed with it
in an absent way.
'John ! don't! You'll ruin that cord.'
Mr. Leslie dropped it, without looking
towards his wife or replying, and still kept
on talking with Aunt Phoebe.
Soon, in his earnestness, the young man
forgot himself again. Grasping the top of
a chair which stood near him, and balanc
ing it upon one leg, he moved it backwards
and forwards with a see-sawing motion.
Amy's sense of propriety was outraged
again. The act annoyed her, and she
could not repress her annoyance. This
time she said nothing, but reached towards
the chair to attempt to remove it from his
hand. John did not choose to let go, how
ever. Amv drew firmly on the chair, and
he held on to it firmly.
' Let me have the chair!' said the per
sistent little woman.
'Do you wish to sit down on it ?' said
John, looking steadily into her laee.
' No, but —'
' Hut whatasked her husband, knit
ting his brows.
' Why will you play with chairs in that
fashion ?' said Amy, with slight irritation.
'lt makes ine nervous to see you.'
' I'm sorry your nerves are so delicate,'
said John Laslie, pushing away the chair.
'My wife, Aunt, has grown as particular
as an old maid.'
Aqnt Phoebe made no reply. She felt
uncomfortable. For nearly a minute si
lence pervaded the room. Then the tea
bell rung, and the scene changed. They
were scarcely seated at the table before
John was guilty of some little breach of
etiquette which brought on him a reproving
word from his wile, lie did not seem to
notice her.
'Why, husband, how can you do so ?'
broke from her lips a few moments after
wards. , You real.y seem to be try ing your
self.'
4 What has he done, child ?' said Aunt
Phoebe, looking across the table in some
surprise at Amy.
'Done? Just look at his cup on the ta
ble-cloth. A nice stain it will make.'
' \\ here are your cup-plates ?' asked
Aunt Phoebe.
4 Oh, dear! nobody has cup-plates now
adays,' answered Amy.
' That's just it, Aunt,' said John. 'Our
Amy is growing excessively genteel. She
won t have cup plates, and I'm not the fool
to burn my mouth with hot tea and coffee.
Koth being self-willed, there has as yet
been no compromise.'
'Nonsense, children,' spoke out Aunt
Phoebe. 'This is a little worse than tri
lling.' The old lady's rebuking tone rath
er chilled them, ami neither made any ad
ditional remark. Hut the buoyancy of
their feelings was gone, and was not fully
restored during meal-time. After supper
they all went up stairs into a cosy sitting
room. They were there only a few min
utes, when John commenced drawing off
one of his boots, saying as he did so :
' How uiy poor feet do ache. They've
been bound up in this tight leather singe
morning.'
' Don t take them ofi here !' exclaimed
Amy. '\\ by don't you go over into our
room ? Your slippers are there.'
Hut he paid no more attention to his
wife than if he had not heard her. The
boot just removed he placed against the
wall, and went on deliberately taking off
the other.
''l here, that feels better,' he said. ' 1
tell you what, Aunt Phoebe, its no joke to
go ail day with u pair of tight boots on.
My feet f'cel as if taken out of a vice.'
'Well, I' m downright ashamed of you,
John Leslie !' said his wife.
' I hope you will never have anything
worse to be ashamed of,' he replied, and
not in a very kind tone of voice. ' I think
it's a pity if I can't take my boots off
where I please in my own house.'
'Oh, as to that,' retorted Amy, her face
reddening, 'you can take tjicni off in the
parlor if you choose, and put them on
the what g.ot for an ornament! I dou't
care.'
1 I'd) glad to hear you say that.,' retorted
John.
' ou are?' said Amy sharply.
' Yes; I shall have some peace of my life
now.'
' I don't understand you,' said Amy,
showing some irritation of manner.
' Oh, it's very plain,' answered the young
man. If I can leave my boots in the par
lor, I can leave them anywhere. Much
obliged to you fqr condescending so much.'
And b.e laughed ic a mocking way that
was particularly irritating to his wife, who
lost temper, and said a great many hard,
accusing things to her husband ; and then
giving way to a passionate flood of tears,
left the room.
4 Is that right, John ?' said aunt Phoebe,
looking soberly into the young man's
face.
' Js what right ?'
' Eight for you to do what is annoying
to your wife V
4 She's no right to be annoyed with tri
fles of this kind,' he answered firmly.
4 That is not speaking like a kind and
sensible man, John. Your wife is neat
and orderly by nature, and cannot help be
ing annoyed at what is disorderly. This
is no place for your boots.'
4 1 know it, aunt. But when a man's
tired half to death on coming home, he
might be excused for pulling his boots off
anywhere.'
4 Yes, if he were more thoughtful of
himself than anybody else. But we won't
discuss this matter now. I must go to
Amy, poor child.'
And aunt Phoebe arose and went from
the sitting-room, leaving John Leslie in
no very comfortable frame of mind. She
found Amy in her own apartment, sitting
on the side of her bed, sobbing violently.
Aunt Phoebe sat down beside her, and ta
king her hand, said:
4 As soon as you have grown calm enough
to listen to me, I wish to say a few words
to yoo.'
Amy sobbed more violently for a little
while, and then, the paroxism abating, she
became silent.
' In the first place then,' began the old
lady, ' I would like to know if it is in this
way that you receive your tired husband,
every evening, wheu he returns from busi
ness V
In what way, aunt Phoebe ?' I dunt
know what you mean.'
' In a fault tiudmg way I mean.'
' Hut, aunt. 1 cuuuot let him act in such
a disorderly way.'
' Btop, my child !' said aunt Phoebe.
'\ ou are wrong. The love of your hus
band is more to you than these
his heart is ali right; if he is manly, hon
orable aud kind; do not these qualities far
outweigh the small defects of which you
complain ? You did not meet him to-night
when he came home to you, with tender
words, but in reproof. It would have been
but a little thing for you to have hung up
his hat when he thoughtlessly placed it on
the chair; or to have raised his coat to a
higher position on the rack, if left too low
for your fancy. You wouid both have felt
happier for this forbearance and attention
on your part, and surely your own peace of
mind and the happiness of your husband
are things to be first considered. What is
the varnish on a chair-round to the smile
of your husband? Or the freshness of a
tassel-cord to his tendpr and loving thought
ot you ? \\ by, child, you are throwing
away precious gems for glitter and tinsel.
Wasting love and gathering up bitterness
ol heart for the time to come. How rpuch
better would it havp been, when he drew
oil his buots in the sitting-room, and com
plained of their tightness and of his weari
ness, lor you to have said to him. in kind
potisideraiiun, '■ 1 will take your boots, John,
and get your slippers.' That would have
been wifely and Iqvingly done; and he
would have rewarded you with a gratified
smile. Hut hoft- does it stand now? He
is angry and you are unhappy. Are a lew
little home properties to be valued more
than love and peace?'
Aunt Phoebe paused. Amy looked at
her for some moments in a half startled,
half-bewildered way, as if a new and accu
sing truth was breaking in upon her mind.
J hen she laid her face down against her
and wept lor some time sileptlv.
'Am I not right, my child?' said aunt
I hoebe.
' Yps, you are right, and I have been
wrong. Thoughtless, foolish woman ! how
weak and unwise I have been. Thanks,
dear aunt Phoebe, for your plainly uttered
reproof.'
W hen Amy returned to the sitting
room, she had her husband's dressing gown
on her arm, and his slippers in her hand.
■ Give me your coat, John,' she said, with
a pleasant smile, ' here is your dressing
gown.'
'Oh, you needn't have taken that
trouble,' returned her husband in surprise.
'lt's no trouble, dear/ answered his wife,
putting her hand on the collar of his coat,
and then helping him to remove it.
'There, she added, as she drew off the
last sleeve, is your dressing gown, and here
are your slippers. I will take your coat
and boots over to the chamber.'
All this was so unexpected to John, that
the whole thing was done before he hud
time to object or remonstrate.
There was no mope fault-finding on that
even.ng; no mere sharp er complaining
words; but considerate kindness and gentle
attentions from one to the other. It was
a long time since the lumps had passed
away so pleasantly. A shadow had fallen
on the brightness of their home ; a spirit
of accusation had come in ; alienation had
begun ; their freighted bark had passed
from calm water to a troubled sea; they
were in danger of shipwreck; but Aunt
Phoebe came at the right moment, and by
filty spoken words, restored order, harmony
and peace.
Mr* Lincoln on the Mexican War.
lhe following is an extract from one of
Mr. Lincoln's speeches in Congress upon
the Mexican war, which shows about how
he stood upon that question :
' Hut as General Taylor is par excellence,
the hero of the Mexican war; and as you
Democrats say we Whigs have always op
posed the war, you think it must be very
awkward and embarrassing for us to go for
General Taylor. The declaration that we
opposed the war is true or false, according
as one may understand the term' opposing
the war.' If to say ' the war was unneces
sary and unconstitutionally commenced by
the President,' be opposing the war, then
the Whigs have very generally opposed it.
Whenever they have spoken at all, they
have said this; —and they have said it on
what has appeared good reason to them.—
1 The march of an army into the midst of
a peaceful Mexican settlement, frighten
ing the inhabitants away, leaving their
growing crops and other property to de
struction, to you may appear a perfectly
amiable, peaceful, unprovoking procedure;
but it does not appear so to us. So to call
such an act, to us appears no other than a
naked, and impudent absurdity, and we
speak of it accordingly. But if when the
roar had begun 3 and had become the cause

individual exceptions you have constantly
had our votes here for all the necessa ry sup
plies. And more than this, you have had
our services, the blood and the lives of our
political brethren in try trial and on
I every field. The beardless boy, and the

i you have had them, and in battle the
have endured and bought ; fell with you.
■ Clay and Webster each gave a son, never

known Whig names, we sent Marshal),
Morrison, Baker and Hardin; they ah

, the \\ higs few in number, or laggard in
the day of danger. In that fearful, bloody,
breathless struggle at Beuna Vista, where

Lincoln on Snakes-
Ihe following is one of Lincoln's illus
trations, made in a speech :.t New Haven,
Conn. Speaking of the right and wrong
of slavery, he said ;
" lhe other policy is one that squares with
the idea that slavery is wrong, and itcn.-ists
in doing everything that we ought to do if it
is wrong. Now I don't wish to be misunder
sto id, nor leave a gap down to be misrepre
sented. even. I don't say that we ought to
attack it where it exists. To ine it seems that
il we were to forp a government anew, in
view of the actual presence of slavery, wo
should find it necessary to frame just such a
government as our Forefathers did, giving id
the slaveholders the entire control where the
system is established, while we possessed the
fruits. [Applause.] From the necessities in
the case, wc should he compelled to form just
a government as our blessed fathers gave;
and, surely, if they have so made it, that adds
another reason why we should let slavery
alone .. here it exists.
"it 1 saw a venomous snake crawling in
the road, any man might seize the nearest
stick and kill it; hut if I find that snake in
bed with my children, it would be another
question. [Laughter.] 1 might hurt the
children more than the snake, and the snake
might bite them. [Applause.] Much more,
if 1 found it in bed with ruy neighbor's chil
dren, and I had hound myself bv a solemn
compact not to meddle with his children un
der any circumstances, it would become tne
to let that particular mode of killing the gen
tleman alone. [Great laughter ] But if
there is a bed newly made up, to which the
children are taken, and it was proposed to
take a batch of young snakes and put them
in with them, I take it, no man would Fay
there was a question how I ought to decide.
[Prolonged applause and cheers.]
That is just the case! The new Territories
are the newly made bed to which our children
are to go, and it lies with the nation to say
whether they shall have the snakes mixed jp
witli them or not. It does not seem as if
there could be much hesitation as to what
our policy should be. [Applause.]
