The Patter of Little Feet.
Up with the sun at morning,
Away to the garden he hie,
To see It the sleepy blossoms
have begun to open their eyes;
Running a race with the wind,
Ills step as light and fleet,
Under my window I hear
The patter of little feet:
Anon to the brook lie wanders,
In swift antnoiseless
plashing the sparkling ripples
Like a fairy water-sprite,
N'o sand under fabled river
Has gleams like his golden hair;
No pearly sea-slwll is fairer
Than his slender ankles bare;
Nor the rosiest stem of ct,ral
That blushes in ocean's 1.c(1,
Is sweet av the iinsh that sollAr,v3
Our darling's airy tread.
From a broad windnw toy
I ,ooks down on oar little cot,
And watches the 'poor man's blessing'
I cannot envy his lot ;
Ile has pictures, hooks and m u si c ,
Bright fountains, and noble trees,
Flowers that blossom in vases,
Birds from beyond the seas;
But never does childish la l righter
His homeward footsteps greet ;
His stately halls ne'er echo
To the tread of innocent feet,
This chiltl is our 'speaking picture,'
bu•dling thta chatters and sings,
Sometimes a sleeping cherub,
(Or other one has wingst)
Ills heart is a charmed casket,
Pull of all that's canning and sweet,
Ana no harp strings hal such music
As follows his twinkling feet.
When the glory sunset open;
Thu highway by angels tro;1,
And seems to unbar the city,
Whose builder and maker is God,
Close to the crystal portal,
I see by the gates of pearl
The eyes of our other angei—
A stillessllttle
And I ask to be taught and directed
To guide lifs footsteps aright.
So that I be accounted rvorthy
To walk in the sandal 3 of light ;
And hear, amid songs of welcome,
From messengers trusty and fleet,
On the starry floor of. Heaven
The patter of lit4le feet.

A Terrible Scene at Sea.
e siur AMONG TILE ICEBERGS
On her last voyage from Australia to
Liverpool, the Australian packet Royal
Standard narrowly escaped destruction
by contact with an enormous iceberg
off Cape Horn. The following graphic
narrative, from the pen of one of the pas
sengers, is published in the English pa
pers:
I was very recently a passenger from
Australia to Liverpool, on board one of
the noblest ships, the Royal Stindnrd,
belonging to the celebrated "White
Star" line of packets. We had upwards
of three hundred adults on board, exclu
sive of the captain, officers, stewards,
and seventy-one crew, and had as a car
go three thousand bales of wool and 120,-
000 worth of gold. After the genial in
tertropical clim:lte of the antipodes we
rapidly approached "the Horn," when
the weather became intensely cold
Morning, noon, and night groups of pas
sengers huddled and crept round the
huge funnel of our ship—for we were an
auxiliary screw—to gather a little extra
warmth. On Sunday April 3d, latitude
56 degrees south, longitude 149 degrees
west, we saw the first iceberg, and a
beautiful siolit it was.
Monday, April 4th, opened with thick,
hazy weather, and a good breeze, befbre
which we gere going, without steam,
ten knots an hour, apprehensive of no
danger. Suddenly we ran into a dense
f'og, and almost immediately one of the
double look-out gave thealarm, 'llroken
water ahead!" and almost immediately
after, "Ice on the starboard bow!" At
that moment I was writing for the news
paper I conducted on board in the en
gineer's mess-room; but hearing the
noise, and the omnious cry, "Helm hard
astarboard!" I rushed on deck, and look
ing over the bulwarks saw, to my horror,
an immense mountain of ice towering
far abovc. our maintop-gall'ant mast,
which was two hundred feet above the
waterline, and so close to ns that any
man could have jumped on to it.
All hands were immediately summon
ed on deck, and every thing done to
prevent what now appeared inevitable
—a collision between our ship and the
iceberg. The yards ware trimmed, the
sails adjusted, and every thing done to
prevent this fearful catastrophe, but is
vain. The monster mountain :of lee ggirA writer in Fraziers Maine says

So far the ship's log. "Half an hour,"
yet what a half hour! Who can tell the
agony, the suspence, the wild and all
but frantic emotions that were crowded
into the thirty minutes? Beyond the
noise of one sidp's wreck knocking
about, and the orders given to the men,
all was silence aft r the first cry of terror
and dismay.
Pale trembling men gazed, first at the
iceberg, then at the ship, presenting a
picture most desolate, and then at each
other; many shook hands and hale each
other good-by; and all stool, expecting
a certain watery grave. For myself I
was too stunned and startled to feel ex
cited: I seemed incapable of any feeling
but that of dumb amazement.• Not a
tear came to my relief, not a word escap
ed my lips. Wife and children I fiAt
should never see any m - Tc; and so, hold
ing a fellow-pasenger's hand, I calmly
awaited the awful moment, summ-ms to
which had c;:sme so unexpectedly, and
under such fearful circumstances.—
Meanwhile the Captain was shot tting to
the Boatswain, "Do you see the end of
the berg! again and again, for all our
safety lay in our speedily gaining the
open sea. At length, after many times
"Not yet, sir," he said, "Yes, sir, close
by:" and in another minute we had pas
sed our enemy, and were in open sea
once more.
Three I ;ud cheers passed fore and aft,
and again we shook each other by the
haul, and thanked God for our deliver
awe. The saloon passengers inunedi
ately held a special religious service, and
so did the intermediate and steerage,
and these service-u were contiuned daily
till oar arrival in Liverpool.
Oiling Tools.
ETher :—I shall do your patrons
good service VI can induce all who do
not, to use painter's (linseed) oil freely
on their tools. Every farmer should
have a can of oil, and a brush on hated,
and whenever he buys a new tool, soak
it well with the oil and dry it in by the
fire or in the sun, before using. The
wood, by this treatment, is toughened
and strengthened, and rendered impre
vious to water. Net a new hay rake
and dry it, and it will begin to be loose
in the joints. It well oiled, the wet
will have but'slight effect. Shovels and
forks are preserved from checking and
eraking in the top of the handle, by oil
ing. The wood becomes smooth 'as
glass by use, and is far less liable to
blister the hand when long used. Axe
and hammer handles often break off
where tin wood cute s the iron. This
part particularly, should be toughened
with oil, to secure, durability. Oiling
the wood in the eye of the axe, will
prevent its swelling and shrinking, and
soinetimes getting loose.
The tools on a large fltrin cost a large
sum of money. They should be of the
most approved kinds. It is poor econo
my at the present extravagant prices
for labor, to set . ITIOII at work with or
dio,try, old-fitshioned implements.
Laborers should he required to return
their tools to the oonventent place pro
vi,kd .tbr them, after using. They
should he put away clean and bright.
The mould-hoards of ploughs, are apt
to get, rusty from one season to another,
even if sheltered. They should be
brushed over a few drops in oil
when put away, and will then 'remain in
good order till wanted. -W. 13.

Garibandi's Yacht.
A correspondent of the Liverpool
(Eng.) Mercury, writing from Cowes,
Isle of Wight, says;
The Yacht purchased for Gen. Gari
baldi is now lying off West Cowes, quite
ready for sailing, and only waiting a
more favorable wind to start on
voyage to Caprera. An inspection of
this little vessel has given great satis-
faction to all who have been sufficiently
interested in the matter to pay her a
visit. She is a schooner of sixty tons
burden, and is truly, elegant in shape
and fittings. Painted black, with a
gold moulding round the hull, a beau
tiful figure head in white and gold, and
with her newly scraped spars and snowy
sails, the first imprgssion is a most
pleasing one ; nor does a closer inspec
tion destroy the charm. In every par
ticular, and throughout the whole ves
sel, elegance and comfort reign supreme.
The ladies' state cabin, which will be
for the General's own use, is a perfect
boudoir, the panels of the ceiling and
walls being filled in with exquisite fres
co paintings of all that is beautiful on
hind and sea—flowers, corals, shells,
and figures. The furniture and fittings

With Heaven's own light the scuptor shone,
Ho had got that angel vision,
Sculptors of life are we as we stand,

Our life-dream passes o'er us.
If we carve it then, on the yieldia2,. stone,
With many a sharp incision,
Its heavenly beauty shall be our own,
Our lives that heavenly vision.
Had I better get in and row across, I
wonder? Nobody would ever know
any thing about it; and there the new
boat lies, rocking on the river,
and there
are two oars in the bottom. It's only a
mile down to the bridge, and I could
row down there and back in a little
while; it would be such a splendid
Of course, nothing could happen to
me, for grandpa said to mamma the
other evening, when we went down to
the mill,
'Why, Helen, Harry's a natural-born
sailor. He can manage the boat as
well as I.'
'0 dear ! I wish he'd never seen that
boat !' said mamma. "I expect it will
be the death of him yet.'
'Well, he didn't inherit, his natural
taste from you, that's certain,' laughed
grandpa; 'but women are always ner
vous about the water.'
And that's all. It's just mamma's
nervousness; and I know nothing
would happen me, getting in there, and
having a little sail ; and it would be so
nice this afternoon, and the river looks
away up by the bridge, like a ribbon
among the oaks and poplars. •
Nobody would kndw anything about
it, either ; for, of course, I should get
back safe, and I don't .believe there is
any harm in it.
But, then, there's my promise to
mother ; there's no getting around that,
as it was the last thing she said to me
before she left home on Thursday.
She called me to the carriage, and
bent over one side, and smoothed my
hair as she always does when she talks
to the.
'Now, llarry, my boy,' she said,
want you to promise that you won't
get inside that boat until your lather

—that's a. fact.

Work and Wait.
Work, for tima la flying;
Work, with hearts *Ws;
Work, for souls are dying;
Work, for night is near.
In the Master's vineyard
Go and work to-day;
Be no useless sluggard,
Standing in the way.
Go and labor rather,
Fallen vines to rear;
Eipen'd fruits to gather,
Barren trees to-care.
Join the Sunday teachers
In their work of faith;
Rousing the careless sleeper;
Lest they sleep in death.
Sound the invitation
"'Sinners, come to me,'
Tell to every nation,
Mercy's tall and free.
In this glorious calling
Work till day is o'er;
Work, till evening falling,
You can work no more.
Then your labor bringing
To the King of kings.
Bore with joy and singing
Home on angel's wings.
There where saints adore Him,
Where the raneotred meet,
Lay thy sheaves before
Lay them at His feet.
Hear thy Master saying;
From His heavenly throne,
When the wages paying,
"Laborer, well done:"
