From my earliest recollections I remem
ber haying an ardent love for and almost
ioiatiablo desire to explore old dilapidated
houses and ancient burying places, pull*.
',sly the latter, and never was I more
happy ittiut when I could steal off alone to
same unfrequented ohurch-yardl i siwander
among the long neglected tombs and read
the records which ion had inscribed there
on to the memory , of the dear departed.—
This peculiarity of disposition predominates
with, me still, prompting me whenever an
opportunity moors to leave the busy haunts
of the living and life-loving multitude and
retire to some lone sequestered silent city
whose every portal bears the insignia of
the reignitig monarch, the mighty king of
terrors,- limit I may there enjoy the deep
and solemn silence which hangs as a thick
mist of the morning over and around the
narrow chamber of the unconscious
I compare this deep unbroken silence which
hangs as a Rabic pall over the invisible in
habitant/ of the still city to a dark thick
mixt, of the morning, because to my imagi
nation there appears to be some analogy
between them, for as the mist of the morn
ing is broken and its watery particles dis
sipated by the beaming rays of nature's
sun, so will the dark, deep silence of the
still city be broken at the appearance of
the glorious Sun of Righteousness, at the
sound of whose life-imparting voice the
doors of those dark damp chambers will be
opened and their now inanimete occupants
come forth into life and animation. Often
have I tried to picture tottny mind the stir
and Confusion of that awful day ; but my
prelude has been much lorger than I intend
ed, so I will now to My, subject. Soma
three or four yenta ago I was indulging
this propensity of my nature by wander
ing among the long grass and mouldering
stones in one of those burying.places of
"sill lang syne," when coming to a re
mote part of the enclosure where the long
matted grass appeared to have been undis
turbed for more than half a century and
the low bent boughs of the gracefully wa
ving willow swept over its verdant sur
face, I was startled at hearing the sound of
a voice uif in earnest pleading. I invol
untarily paused and seated myself on the
crumbling remains of a marble monument,
in order to discover whence the sound pro
ceeded. I was not left long in doubt ; the
tones were those of a child, and the voice
was raised in deep and earnest prayer. I
silently crept upon the grass and peeped
between the boughs of the pliant willow,
and there I saw a little boy, with clasped
hands and eyes raised to heaven, kneeling
at the head of a new-made grave, where
on be had scattered a few bright wild-fiow
era, the only mementoes be had to offer of
the deep undying love which gushed up
from his little heart ; tears were Stream
ing down his pale cheeks; and his voice
trembled as he said—
"Oh, thou God of heaven, thou whom
my sweet mamma so dearly loved, and
whom she taught me also to love and honor,
• look down with pity upon a poor little or
phan boy, and take me, oh I take me, my
kind rather, home tb my dear mamma in
heaven : poor little Tommy is weak be
cause-he is hungry and has no kind mem
!ma to care for him and love him now. My
Father! my Father, pray take me up home!"
He brushed his hand across his eyes and
a faint smile flitted over his pale face as he
sat down near the grave and said, "it will
not be long, my Father-God; I am ready."
I could not resist the curiosity which
prompted me to - wish to know more of this
singular child; I therefore left my place
of concealment, and opening the branches
of the willow stood before the meager little
boy. At first he betrayed some symptoms
of alarm and arose from his seat; but
quickly overcoming his emotion, lie looked
at toe with an expression which seemed to
say, wity.have you intruded on this hal
lowed spot, which is sacred to me alone?
I gently ,laid my -band upon his curly
bead and said, God bless you, little Tom
my. , He latently smoothed his purturbed
brow and clasping my hand in both his
he pressed it fervently to hls' and bath

"Oh,ceux you love Iwor little orphan boy ?"
I seated him on the gross and 'planed my
self beside bim, and leaning his little bur
ping bead against my bosom, said, "Yea,
Timmy, although a stranger to yoiryet I
love 'you ; our blessed Savior took little
children in his arms and loved and blessed
them, and I wish in all things to follow his
example and love them too(. But now tell
me, Tommy, why did yo ti pray to die f—
end why did you smile and say it would
not be long ?—what did you mean 1"
"I prayed to go home to my mamma in
heaven," he answered, "because nobody
loves me now ; and I said it would not be
long, because something seemed to whisper
those words to my heart, and I believed it
would be so, for I thoughtit was the voice
of my Savior, that my good mamma used

hard work to do, and when I could not fm
ish, which I seldom could do, she would

eat, and tell me I was a lacy, idle bagger,
not worth the, salt in my bred ; but in
deed I work hard and try to do all my tasks,
but I am not strong enough now : and.so
I thought I would pray to my Father in
Heaven to take , me from this cold world,
where I haven° papa nor mili - rll - 3tll3, — tiicrro -
er nor sister, nor no one on earth to love
me now."
"You said that you were ready, Thy;
did you mean by that that you were ready
to die ?", •
"Oh yes," he replied, "I believe . my
mother's prayers will prevail for me, be
pause she was good, and God has said that
the fervent prayer of the righteous availeth
much. and I try to be good and love my
:Savior, because heia good and loves me and
died for me."
"But do you not hate your aunt because
she is not kind to you and makes you work
scibard
"No, no," said be earnestly, "I love her
and pray for her, that God may make her
good, and when sh 3 dies take her home to
his beautiful heaven."
I kissed the little angel child, and was
silent, as I thought him more able to in
struct me than I him ; he seemed to be
just on the verge of eternity, just ready to
launch into its unfathomable depth ; and
indeed so it was, for that very night little
Tommy was attacked by a violent fever,
which in a few days terminated his earth.
ly career. I went frequently to see him
during his illness ; he was always calm,
composed and cheerful,. and spoke with' de
light of his approaching change, often pray
ing for those about him. His last request,
made while his little dying head reposed
upon my bosom, was that I should pray
for his aunty, and have him buried by the
side of his dear mamma.
It is needless to say his request was com
plied with, and now those is another little
mound in that silent city, over which a
pare white rose, planted by my hand, year
ly sheds its delightful effluvia and scatters
its snowy petals. What little boy or girl
will try-to immitate the example of little
Tommy ?
A 8 - EITERII LOVE.
"I was a thoughtleis youth," said the
Rev. Mr. —, "oven more regardless of
serious things than boys in general. But
I had one tie which bound me to home,
and restrained me from all outward im
moralities ; this was a peculiar affection
for my sister. Few brothers and sister's
I think, ever love each other as.we did.—
All our thoughts, feelings and plans; were
shared together, and neither could enjoy
any thing alone. A walk, a ride, a book,
or concert, lost half its charm if Anna
were away, and she was the first to soothe
every rising sorrow.
"When I was seventeen,. there was a.
revival of religion in the church to which',
my father belonged, and Anna and I oc
casionally attended the evening meetings. ,
I noticed Anna was very silent on our re
turn from these ; butes I did not care to
say anything upon the subject, I was con
tent it should be so. Yet there .lurked
within me an uneasy fear that she was be
coming more interested in religious things
than I was. I could not bear the idea ;it
oven made me angry to think of my bright,
lively Anna's becoming a Christian, for I
was certain it would spoil her for me, and
destroying our happiness in each other.—
I became more certain something

with a cruel selfishness, I refrained front
asking what , disturbed her ; and once
when I saw her eye resting on my face
with an expression of intense interest. I
turned away from the beseeching gli.nce,
and left the room.
"The next morning I found , a little note
from her' on my table. I took it up with
a feeibig of bitterness in my heart, and
entitling it, thrust it into my pocket, deter..

that it contained somethingabout my sours,

The eyes of the children had drooped

"Anal lead us not into temptation ; but

All these holy words were said piously

knelt with clasped hands besides their
mother. Then, as their thoughts, uplifted
on the wings of prayer to their Heavenly
Father, came back again and rooted on their
earthly parents, a warmer love came gu , al2-
' log from their hearts.
Pure kisses—tender embraces—the fond
"good night." What a sweet agitation

sweet beads were placed side by side on
