I lent my love c book one day ; She brought it back ; I laid it by; 'Twas little either had to say She was so strange, and I so shy. But 3-et we loved indifferent things The sprouting buds, the birds in tune ; And time stood still and wreathed his wings With rosy links from June to June. For her, what task to dare or do? What peril tempt? what hardshi2 bear? Rut with her "ah! she never knew My heart and what was hidden there ? And she, with me so cold and coy,. Seemed like a maid bereft of sense ; But in the crowd all life anil joy, And full cf blushing impudence. She married! well, a woman needs A mate, her life and love to share And Jittle cares sprung up like weeds. And play'd around her elbow chair. And years roll'd by, but I, content, Trimm'd my own lamp and kept it bright, Till age's touch my hair besprent With ra; sand gleams of silver light. And then, it chanced, I took the book Which she periled in days goDe by ; And as I read such passion shook My soul ! I reeds inuat curse or cry. For here and there her love was writ In old, half faded pencil signs, As if she yielded bit by bit Her heart in ''ots and underlines. Ah ! silvered foo! ! txj late you look I know it ; let me here record This maxim ; Lend iw yirl a book Unless yon read it aj'tericanl. The Soliloquy of a Political Preacher! 1 BUK'K. I'OMEKOY. What a liar I ntn ! God knows it I know it ilia world knows it. A few vears s-ince I experienced religion. I at- tended divine service took part in reli gious meetings. I stood up in a church ; 1 arose from the anxious seat and told the brethren and sitters that the blessed love of Chri.-t the wondrous love of peace and good will to all men the desire to do :ood and to live at peace with all the world filled my soul to overflowing. A men ! How these echoes came up from all parts of the room. And I knelt in pray er, and this was the burden of my suppli cation : Oh Merciful God in Heaven, be pitiful to me a sinner. For years I have offend ed Thee. For years I have been wander ing to and fro, my heart filled with wick edness, my soul steeped in hate, and my mini thinking only evil and wickedness And now, oh Goi, thy grace has reached me. The blessed influence the peaceful spirit of Christ who is and who wa?, and w ho ever will be all love, has filled my heart and I am ready to die if my death seemeth-good in Thy sight. 1 have no hate, no envy, no spite, no malice, no wickedness, no desire to wound, to offend, to injure any one of my fellow beings, but had rather all should live in peace. And ph ! God in Heaven, for this most wondrous peace to Thee I give thanks, and here, before the world, before Thee, before the 'angels and the spirits of life and death give I myself unto Thee. Take me as one of Thine anointed ; take me as one redeemed from all evil passions. Take me, oh God, to Thy love for the love of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, fills my heart with peace, with ioy. with love to all men and to Thee, and faithful to those vows will I bo, that I may meet with the pure, the good and the holy in Thy King dom, there to be fori ver blest. And now guide, watch ovct and jruard me, for Christ's sake. Anienf A men ! The meeting will join in singing 'Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love! The fellow&hip of Christian minds Is like to that above. From sjrrow, toil and pain, And sin we shall be free ; Ami perfect love and friendship rcigu Through all eternity ! Oh the blessed influence of Christiani ty. It fills us all with love for othcrs with love for those who have wronged us, as Christ loved those who sinned against Him. How I talked, and prayed, and sung. And I set myself apart for the ministry. And I began to teach Christ and Him crucified. And I professed to labor for the good of souls alone. I was an agent for Heaven. I was a professed follower of that dear Jesus who is all love and kindness. And I was looked upon aa a sanctified son of a sinner, and walked as one who was better than Lis neighbors. Oh, ichat a liar I am ! While dead in tresspasses I lie, Thy quick'ning 6pirit Rive ; Call me. Thou Son of God, that I r May hear Thy voice and live." And I was called to take charge of a congregation to work in the vine-yard ; to save souls ; to teach perfect love to Christ and to all our fellow-men. And 1 prayed ; and I talked and I exhorted ; and I wore a long face ; and I made folks think I was good ; and I knelt by the dying ; and I gave away in marriage ; and I baptized infants and I won au influ ence. And then I forsook Christ, and took up politics. And I taught people to hate each other. And I taught my church to hate the men of the South ; to hate other denominations to hate, and vilify, and slander, and abuse, and to insult, and to quarrel with those who did not agree with them in politics. And I instilled sectional hate, discord, envy, anger and wickedness into the hearts of the simple ones who were confided to my charge. I taught people to hate each other. I preached the negro and abolitionism in stead of Christ and salvation. And I ne glected -the souls of sinners. And I endorsed wars. I preached that it was worth a crown to save even one poor soul from hell. .And I urged men to go to war ; to become mad ; to kill each other and to go into the presence of God with an oath on their lips ; death in their hearts; their eyes set in rage ; their hands striking the steel to the hearts of their brothers. Folitics paid better than religion, l'oli tics were popular. I panted notoriety. I did net care a curse for the cause of Christ. Private ends and a little money were the things I was after. Christ neve preached hate, envy, discord, malice, etc., as I have for years. Hut this is American religion, is the kind that pays, mine now. It 13 all larity. Hut ain't I a It is popular. - It Christ is out of niggers and popu pretty man of God to kneel beside a dying man ! What damnable mockery ! As if Christ would listen to such a liar, back-slider, hypo crite and vilifier of religion as I am ! ' My former hopes are fled ; My terror now begins ; I feel, alas ! that I am dead In tresspasses and sins!" liut what of it ? I'll go on and fool people. I'll fill hell with sinners if I can't fill Heaven with saints. I'll have a friend in the devil if not Li Christ. I'll damn poor ignorant souls if I cant save them. I'll earn political pay if I can't win the approval of God the Gal I am trying to fool. I'd like to hear Christ preach a sermon. I wonder if he'd instill hate, sectional discord, envy, oppression, perse cution and such ideas into the minds of His followers. lie said: " Hlessed are the peace-makers, for they shall" &c. I think that is a mistake. I don't be lieve Christ ever said it. I think the one that reported that sermon must have been drinking the sacramental- wine too freely. That is where Christ and I differ. American religion is that of hate, wrong, discord, envy, war, oppression, persecution and killing of people for a difference of opinion. "But thou, soul searching God .' hast known The hearts of all that bent the knee j And bast accepted those alone. Who in the sjririt worshipped thee." Uut it makes no difference with me. There is no true religion in me. I'd en dorse the devil and preach hell if it was popular and paid. I'd forsake Christ any time for an increase of pay, and let the cause of religion die out forever. What a liar 1 ami And what liars all those so-called christians who profess to have their hearfs filled with Heavenly love, yet, war upon a people for a difference of opinion ; who read from stolen bibles ; who kneel by stolen chairs ; who read in stolen books ; who look at themselves in stolen mirrors ; who lay their children to sleep on stolen sofas ; who themselves slumber on stolen lr1 tx bn rat from stolen dishes ; who beautify their dwellings with stolen orna ments ; who go to church in stolen gar ments ; who partake of the blood of the Redeemer from stolen silver cups; who ride to funerals in stolon carriages ; who ride for pleasure behind stolen horses ; who have shrouds made from stolen cot ton : who are awakened in the nijrht by the braying of stolen inule-s; who are nunzed with stolen medicines ; who get drunk on stolen liquors ; who play sacred airs on stolen organs and melodeons; w ho r.lav uatriotic airs on stolen pianos; who, surrounded by thousands of things stolen from the South, in the name of lovuliy, j by the men who are the brothers of their victims; by the Christians of the sort whose preacher and Heavenly guide-board I am ! Won't I catch it w hen I die ? If there i3 a hot place in hell a lake where the molten brimstone is deepest a locality wl iere the eteYnal worm is birger than the serpent of the late rebellion, 1 11 have it if there is a Just God Who punishes those who enlist for Ilim and work for the devil to fill hell with victims rather than Heaven with ransomed ones. T he only consolation I have is that four-fifths of the ministers of Christ are as great liars and hypocrites as I am, and if they can spend an elernity in hell, I know I can. . The Sailor Boy of Havre. A French 15ri" was returning from Toulon to Havre with a rich cargo and numerous passengers. Off the coast of Hretagne, it was overtaken by a sudden and violent storm. Captain 1 , an experienced sailor, at once saw the danger which threatened the ship on such a rocky coa.-t, an J he gave orders to put out to sea ; but the winds and waves d:ove the bi ' ioknlIv towards the shore, and nolw uhst..n iin" all the efforts of the crew, i. continued to get nearer the lanJ. Among the most active 0.3 board in doing all that he could to help, wa.- little Jacques, a lad twehe years old, who was serving as Cubin boy in the vessel. At times w hen he disappeared for a moment behind the lulus of a sun, the sailors thought that he had fallen overboard ; and again, when a wavo threw him down on the deck, they looked around to see if it h?.i not carried away the poor boy with it, but Jacques was soon up aguin unhurt. My mother," said he smiling, to an old sailor ' would be frightened enough if she saw me just now. His mother, who lived at Havre, was very poor and had a lurge family. Jac ques loved her tenderly, and he was en joying the prospect of cany ing to her his little treasure ;wo franc-pieces, which he had earned as wages for the voyage. The bri!i was beaten about a w hole day by the storm, and in spite of all the efforts of the crew the' could not steer clear of the rocks on the coast. ly the gloom on the captain's brow it niiht be seen that he had little hope of saiiiLT the s! i. All at once a felt, accompanied by violent shock was a horrible crash ; the vessel had struck on a lock. At this terrible moment the passengers threw themselves on their knees to pray. ' Lower the boats!" cried the captain. The sailors obeyed ; but no sooner were the boats iu the water than they were carried away by the violence of the WUVa s " We have but one hope of safety," said the captain. One of us must be' brave enough to run the risk of swim ming with a rope to the shore. We may fasten one end to the mast of the vessel and the other to a rock on the coast, and by that means we may all get on shore." " Uut captain it is impossible ! said the mate pointing to the surf breaking on the sharp rocks. ' Whoever should at tempt to run such a risk would Certainly be dashed to' pieces." Well," said the captain, in a low tone "we must all die together.', At this moment there was a slight quiet among the sailors who were silently waiting for orders. "What is the matter there ?" inquired the captain. "Captain," replied a sailor, this little monkey of a cabin-boy is asking to swim to shore with a strong stiu.g round his body to draw the cable after hini ; he is us obstinate as a little mule !" and he pu.-hed Jacques into the midst of the circle. The boy stood turning his cap round and round in his hand without daring to utter a word. 4 Nonsense ! such a child can't go !" said the captain roughly. . liut Jacques was not a character to be so easily discouraged. "Captain," said lie timidly, "you don't w ish to expose the lives of good sailors likes these ; it does not matter what becomes of a " little monkey " of a cabin-boy, as the boatswain calls me. Give me a ball of strong string, which will unroll as I get on, fasten one end round my body, and I prui;d.-c you that within au hour the rope will be well fast ened to tho shore, or I will perish in " the attempt." 44 Does he know how to swim V asked the captain. " As swiftly, and easy a3 an ecl," rc- VOL. 13 NO. 32. plied one of the crew. " I could swim up the Seine from Havre to Paris," said little Jacques. The captain hesitated ; but the lives of all on board were at stnke, and he yielded. Jacques hastened to prepare for his terrible undertaking. Then he turned and solily approached the ej.pt.tin. " Captain," said lie, 44 as I may b.? lost, may 1 ask you to take charge of something for me V " Certainly, my boy," said the estpfain, who was almost repenting of 1. ' yielded to his entreaties. " IK-re, then, captain," replied Jacques, holding out two five-fmne pieces wrapped in a bit of rag ; " If I nni eaten by tlx; porpoises, and you get safe to land. s kind as to give this to my mother, who lives on the quay at Havre; jiid v. ill you tell her that I thought of her, and that I love her very nine!), as well a brothers and sisti-rs?" u.y ' lie easy about that, my bov.

"Oh ! then I will widinjily try to sav you . cried J nques, ,hasienu : other side of the vessel, w!uie prepared tor his eniei pri-e'. The captain houhi for a im "We uught not to idiow I Lis. b.,v tiee himself for us in this wav," at h i:".ih ; I have Lccn wroi'". o all t!,. W : . j i0:'Ut. to s'!' ; i s.ild lie "Irm-.st forbid iff" Yes, yes," said some of the r-.i'lo .s round him, "it is disguaceful to i;s ml that the little cabin-boy should si t 11- ;'t example id courage; mid it would b; sad thing if the brave child should d! for old men like us, who have lived ov.r time.

Soon the practiced eye of .-. n:.- ol it.o p.ti'oi pertfived a htiie bh.ck point ii.n.g abo: the waves, and then aj.d.i distriin e p evented them from ui.-iiiigi.i-hi'.g It at all. They anxiously w .;tch-d the en-!, ;;nd tiied to ynes.', by its quicker or slow er movement, the fate of him w ho w as unrolling it Sometimes the cord was unrolling rap idly ; 'Oh, what a brave fellow I" they said ; " see how quickly he swims !" At other times the unrolling of the b dl of string stopped suddenly; "pour boy," they said ; " he has been d;,vned or dashed against the rocks !" . This anxiety lasted more than an hour ; the ball of siring continued to be uurolie !, but at unequal periods. At length it slipped slow ly over the side of th e.-s. 1, and often fell as if slackened They thought Jacques must have much ditin-uliy in getting through the surf on the coast. 44 Perhaps it is the body of the poor boy that the sea is tossing backw ards ai d forwards in tkia way," said some of ll;-' sailors. The captain was deeply grieved that he had permitted the child 10 make t he- attempt ; and, notw ithstanding the desper ate situation in which they were, all tin; crew seemed to be thinking more of the boy than of themselves. All at once a violent pull was given to the cord. This was soon followed by a second, then by a third. It was the signal agreed upon to tell them that Jacques hid reached the shore. A rho.it of joy was heard on the ship. They hastened to fasten a strong rope to the cord, which was dnuvn on shore as fa.-t as they could let it out, and was firmly fastened by some of the people who had come to the help of the little cabin-boy. By means of this rope many of the ship wrecked sailors reached the shore, and found means to save the others. 2so long after all had safely landed they saw the vessel sink. The little cabin boy was long ill from the consequences of his fatigue, and from the bruises he had received by being dashed against the rocks. . Put ho did not mind that ; for, in reward of I. is bravery, his mother received a yearly sum of money which placed her above the fear of want. Little Jacques rejoiced in having suffered for her, and at the sani'? time in having saved so many lives. He felt that he had been abundantly re warded.
