That sweet little group he knows full well

Soon joyous shouts from the window seat,
And eager patter of childish feet;

A maD.'y voice responds to the call,

Tiie Eternal Word.
.Xo fkgment of an army ever survived so
many battJes as the Bible ; no citadel ever
v.itli.ootl so iuany sieges; no rock was ev
er battel ed by so many hurricanes and so
bwej't by btoims. And yet it stands. It
!i:ts seen the rise and downfall of Daniel's
Jt;ir empires. Assyria bequeaths a few mu
lcted figures to the riches of our National
.'u euui. Media, and 1'er.ia, like Babylon
hiih tiny conquered, have been weighed
in the biiiaucc and long ago found wanting.
Greece faintly survives in her historic fame:
1 1. Jiving Greece uo more;" and the
iron inme or the Caesars is held in preca
rious occupation by a feeble hand. And
ye: the Book that foretells all this, still sur
vive. While nations, kings, philosophers,
by ten's, institutions, have died away, the
lillle encages now men's deepest thoughts,
examined by the keenest intellects, stands
levered before the highest tribunals, is more
reaJ. and silted, and debated, more devout
ly loved and more vehemently assailed,
i.iore defended arid mow denied, more in-jlustriou.-ly
translated and freely given to
the world, more honored and mors abu.sed,
than atiy olher book the world ever saw.

it ni nes minds, yet is moved by none ;

The Imest Speech E7er Made.
The Westminster Review pronounces Lin
coln's tiettyurg sieech as the finest that
'ver fell from human lips. In view of this
jiet and that it is even more pertinent than
it en-r was, we need make no apology for re
publishing it We give it blow :
"Ti.ur score and seven years ago our fa
thers brought forth upon this continent. a
fi"v nation, conceived in Liberty and dedi
cated to the proposition that all men are
created equal. Now we are engaged in a
preat civil war, testing whether that nation,
r any nation so conceived or dedicated, can
lung endure. We are met on a great battle
of that war. We arc met to dedicate
portion of it as the final resting place of
tiiose who here gave their lives that the na
tion might live. It is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this. But in a
arce sense we cannot consecrate, we cannot
liu'iow this ground. The brave men, living
nddead. who struggled here, have conse
crated it far above our power to add or de
tract. The world will little note nor remem
ber long what we say here, but it can never
forget what they did here. It is for us. the
ping, rather to be dedicated to the unfin
ished work that they have thus far so nobly
rried on. It is rather- for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining before
its that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to the cause for which
they here gave the last full measure of de
motion that we here highly resolve that the
dead shall not have died in vain that the
cation shall, under God, have a new birth
of freedom, and that the Government. of
the people, by the people, and for the peo
ple, shall not perish from the earth."

TIIE LITTLE OUTCAST:
Or Angels Unawares.
"Did he mean real angels ?" said a bright
boy 10 our Sunday school class many, many
years ago. lie had just read the following
passage in our lesson for the day , "Be not
forgetful to entertain strangers ; for thereby
fjotue have entertained angels unawares."
1 his gave occasion lor the explanation that
the wozd "angels" might mean ministers of
good as well as angelic visitors, and that
this good might come unexpected and in
times long after we had done the good deed.
Ihis incident of the Ions ago came rushing
back upon us with the freshness of yester
day while reading the story of the little out
cast. And now we eive both incident, and
story for the benefit of your readers:
Aiayn't 1 stay, ma am I 11 do anything
you give me cut wood, go after water, and
uo aii vour errands.
The troubled eves of tht cnoftloT" filTAif
with tears. It was a lad that tnnrl t !,
outer aoor, pleading with a kimrlv woman.
who reined to doubt his good intention.
J he course sat by a bleak moor or what
in Scotland wofld have been called such.
The time was near the end of November ;
the fierce wind rattled the boughs of the on
ly naked tree near the house and fled with a
quivering into the narrow doorway, as if
seeking warmth at the blazing fire within.
Now ani then a snow flake touched with
its soft chill the cheek of the listener, or
whitened the angry redness of the poor boy's
benumrya Dand.
The woman as evidently loath to grant
thetloy'a request, and the peculiar look
statu pel upon his features would have sug
gested to any mind an idea of depravity far
beyond his years.
Luther mother's heart could not resist
the sorrow iu those large, but not har.OsSine,
grey eyes.
''Come in, at Rny rate, till the gudeman
comes home; there, sit do'.vn by the fire;
you look perished with cold," and she drew
a rude chair up to the warmest corner, then
suspiciously glancing at the child from the
corner of her eyes, she continued setting the
table for supper. Presently came the tramp
of heavy shoes, the door swung open with a
quick jerk, aud the Vgadciuau" resented
himself weary with Lbor.
A look of intelligence passed between his
wife and himself he, too, seauned-the boy's
face with an expression not evincing saris
faction, but nevertheless made him come to
the the table, and then enjoyed the zeal
witii which he dispatched his supper.
lay after day passed, and yet the boy beg
ged to be kept "only till tomorrow;" so the
good couple.after due consideration, conclu
ded that,so hi;: i ashe was delicate and work
ed so heartily, they wonid retain him.
One day, in the middle cf winter, a ped
dler, Ions accustomed to trade at the cuttatre,
made hi.s appearance and disposed of his
goods readily, as he had been waited f r.
"You have a boy out there splitting wood,
I see," he said, pointing to the yard.
4iYes; do you know him?"
"1 have seen him," said the peddler eva
sively. "And where? whojshe? what is fee?''
"A jail bird." and the peddler swung hi
pack over his shoulder ; "that boy, young
as he look, I saw him in court myself, a:i;
heard his sentence ten mouths; he's a
hard one you'd do well to look keerful af
ter htm."
O ! there wa something so horrible in the
word "jail" the poor wouiau trembled as
she laid aw.iy tb.3 purchases, nor could she
be env till sh-j hai called the bov in and a-
sured him that she knew the dark part of
his history.
Ashamed and distressed, the c't ild hung
down his head ; his cheeks seemed bursting
with his hot blood : his lip quivered, and an
uish wa painted vividly upon his furohead,
g-sa iftha words were branded in his flesh.
"Weil," he muttered, his whole frame
relaxing as if a horded of guilt or joy had
suddenly rolled off, "1 may as well g to ru
in at once there s no use in my trying to
be better every body hates and despises
me no body cares about me. I may as well
goto ruin at once."
"Tell me," said the woman.who stood off
far enough for Cig'ut, if that should be ne
cessary, how came you to go so young to
that dreadful place ? Where was your
mother?"
"O !" exclaimed the boy, with a burst of
griaf that was terrible to behold, "O! I
hr-iu't got any mother O ! 1 hain't had no
mother ever since I was a baby. If I'd on
ly had a mother," he continued, his anguish
growing vehement, and the tears gushing
out of his strange looking grey eyes, "I
wouldn't a been sauey, and got knocked
down, and then run away, and stole because
I was hungry. O! I hain't had no mother
since I was a baby."
The strength was all gone from the poor
boy, and he sank on his knees, sobbing great
choking sobs, and rubbing the hot tears away
with his kuuckles. And did the' woman
st.aud there unmoved? Did she coldly bid
him pack up and be off thejai lbird?"
No, no she had been a mother, and
though all her children slept under the cold
sod in the church yard, she was a mother still.
She went up to the boy, not to hasten him
away, but to lay her fingerskindly, softly on
his head to tell him to look up, and from
henceforth find her a tnotlier ! Yes, she
even put her arms about the neck of that
forsaken, deserted child ; she poured from
her mother's heart STCct womanly words
words of council and tenderness.
O, how 6weet was her sleep that night !
IIow6oft was her pillow 1 She had linked
a poor suffering heart to hers by the most
silken, the strongest bands of "love. She
had picked some thorns from the path of a
little sinning but thriving mortal. . None
but angels could witness her holy joy and not
envy.
Did the boy leave her?
Never he b with her still : a vigorous,
manly promising youth. The low charac
ter of his countenance has given place to an
open, pleasing expression, with depth enough
to make it an interesting study. His foster
father is dead. his nomi tiwir o.l
ana sickly, but she knows no want The once
i-oor outcast is her only dependence.anJ no
bly he repays the trust.
"He that save th a soul from rWh hUe.th
a multitude of sins."
The Stage and the Pulpit.
Fancy the thriiling effect of the Scrip
tures if read as Kean, Murdoch, or Booth
reads Shakspeare or recites Macaulev.
And why should we not have it so? Is it
right and proper that every book for public
n;aunjg snouiu nave justice done it except
me mum : Ana tnat white
subject is allowed the advantage of a natu
ral and impressive delivery, religion, which
is the most important of all, should be de
nied by all? The monstrous fallar-r with
which well-mearing but obtuse people have
been beguiled, or have beguiled themselves,
is, that such reading and reciting would be
theatrical, and that theatrical exhibitions
are notbecoming in the house of God. To
this hollow and ridiculous fallacy may be
traced most of the execrable pulpit reading
anu aenvery tnat rob the Scriptures of half
tneir power, and Lave often made the dull
ness of a sermon proverbial. Set Murdoch
to read the song of Miriam, or the licht be
tween David and Goliah, or the story of the
Prodigal Son, or of Christ's denunciation
of lhe Scribes and Pharisees, or to recite
one of Chalmer's sermons, and you will sec
the people who had begun to adjust them
selves in the corners of their seats for their
accustomed snooze, sit up and listen to him
very close, with eascr eves and bated breath.
And all this simply because Murdoch would
do justice, that is, read it naturally, ami as
i ought to be read. Un what possible
ground, cither of common sense or good
tae, can objection be taken to the natural
deliver' of at least the sermon ? If Garrick
could set even the prim soldier who was on
duty at the corner of the street, blubbering
like a child; and if Mrs. Siddona could so
overpower the tragedian Young, that he
could not refrain from sobbing aloud, though
he was himself on the stage acting the villian
of the piece at the tiuie and all this time
merely uttering the words of a fictitious
character, what overwhelming effects in the
way of sinners and pressing home The Tnen
sage of the gospel, might not be intiodueed
by men who are giving utterance,"in "fliclr
own character, to the most sublime and
soul-stirring truths.
Onlt one Brick Urr..v Another. A
bo- watched a large building, as the work
men horn da' to day carried up bricks and
uioi'ar.
"My son," said his father, "you seem ta
ken v.i h the bricklayers. Do you think of
learning the trade?"
"No sir; I was thinking what a little
thing a brick is, and what great houses are
baiit by laying one brick upon another."
" cry true, my sou ; never forget it. So
it is in ad gj-eat works. All your learning is
one l;sson a ided to another. If a man
I could walk ail around the world, it, wou'd be
:y putting or-e foot before another, lour
whole life will be made up of one moment
upon another. Drops added to drops make
the ocean."
"Learn from this not to despise lUtle
things. De not discouraged by great labors.
They become easy if divided into parts.
You could not jump over a mountain, but
step by step take you to the other side.
Do not fenr, therefore, to attempt great
things. Always remember that tha large
bnildmg went up only one brick, upon an
other." Tdie following purports fo be a model
medical puff: "Dear Doctor, I shall be ona
hundred and seventy-five years old next Oc
tober. For over eighty-four years 1 have
been an invalid, unable to btep except when
moved by a kver. But a year ago, I heard
of the Granicular syrup. 1 bought a bot
tle, smelt the cork, and found myself a new
man. I can now run twelve miles and a
half in an hour, and throw thirteen somer
saults without stopping."
Remove every stone from the track in
the highway. A single projection, which
might have been removed in one minute,

There was a very gav wedding party in
New York lately. The Rev. W. P. Oorbett,
a methodist minister was married to his sec
ond wife, (the first one is dead.) He is now
fifty years of asc ; his young bride is only
twenty-two. The groom has six children,
and tho oldest, a daughter, is older than her
mother stepmother of course. The cere
mony was performed in the Seventeenth
Street Methodist Episcopal Church, by the
Rev. Bishop Janes. Over nine hundred in
vitations were sent out and they wereal 1 re
sponded to.
A new stove has been invented for the
comfort of travellers. It is to be put under
the feet, with a mustard plaster on the head,
which draws the heat through the whole

A philosopher who had married a vulgar
but amiable girl, used to call her brown su

Many persons are in advance of their age,
