ottr#, One by One. One by one the sands are flowing One by one the moments fall ; Some are coming, some are going, Do not strive to grasp them all. One by one thy duties wait thee, Let thy whole strength go to each ; Let no future dreams elate thee, Learn thou first what these can teach. One by one (bright gifts from heaven) Joys are sent thee here below ; Take them readily when given, Ready too to let them go. One by one thy griefs shall meet thee, Do not fear an armed band, One will fade as others greet thee, Shadows passing through the land. Do not look at life's long sorrow, See bow small each moment's pain; God will help thee for to-morrow,. Every day begin again. Every hour that fiesta so slowly, Has its task to do or bear; Luminous the crowd and holy, If thou set each gem with care Do not linger with regretting, Or for passing hours despond; Nor the daily toil forgetting, Look too eagerly beyond. Hours are golden links, God's token, Reaching heaven but one by one; Take them, lest the chain be broken .Bro-the pi/grlmage be done. The Waldensian Church—Speech of )1 5 Pilatte, at Belfast. In the interior of our Church we may re mark the developement of Christian life and a progress of that revival of true relig ion, of love, and faith, and active devoted ness, which began some twenty-five or thirty years ago. We all know—alas ! you have known it by experience, perhaps—that churches sometimes become cold, and slum ber, and lose their first love, and indeed almost all love, for a time. And so it was with the Waldensiau Church. A death like cold had spread over it, but thank God the Spirit has been spread abroad among our people ; a revival has taken place, and we do not witness, when we look on our long-honored Church, the symptoms of death, but an upward progress. Every day some new symptom of life appears. The Confession of Faith of our fathers, which had been a dead document, and which was by many repudiated, is now acknowledged, and was twice, in a very few years, solemnly proclaimed as the expression of the faith of our Church. Our Church had no constitu tion except that which had been transmit ted traditionally through centuries, and which was expressed in numberless acts of Synods. Two years ago the laws of the con stitution were gathered up, and codified, and now we have our clearly written, and well understood, and universally accepted Presbyterian constitution. (Applause.) Our discipline—the ancient discipline of our fathers—had fallen into disuse; for there is no hope of a faithful discipline in a Church where there is no truelife—a mere legalism —a mere formalism—in the things which pertain to the proper action of the Church-- where dead orthodoxy has taken the place of living faith, properly expressed. And as this has been the case with us, so now our Church has been re-constituting its disci pline; and there is a standing committee to gather up the principles of that discipline, to modify what is, in their impression, inap propriate to the present time, and to present to the next Synod of our Church a code of regulations. There was, for the education of the ministry, great need fora school of theology. The time had come when we should not only prepare a ministry for our Church, but a ministry for evangelisation in Italy. As long as the ministry was only necessary for our own Church we could easily educate our ministers abroad; but now they must be educated in Italy, and there must be an Italian school of theology. And allow me here, when I mention the establishment of a school of theology in La Tour for the education of the Waldensian and Italian ministers, to pay also a just tribute of gratitude to the excellent and ad mirable school of theology, so nobly repre sented here to-night by one of its profes sors, M. La Harpe. (Hear, and applause.) In many years have many of our students been educated under such a man ; and not only have they given us able ministers, faithful pastors, learned Divines, but they have given us one of our new professors of theology, so that they may rejoice, though some pupils may be taken away from their school, that they have been the means of sowing the seeds of another school of the ology. (Applause.) I can not enter fully into the details of all that is taking place in the narrow, but very busy, circle of our fifteen parish es, and in the midst of our Waldensian population of from 22,000 to 23,000 souls. But allow me to mention one fact of a very gratifying nature—that is, the universal spirit of instruction in the Valleys. In a population of 22,000 or 23,000 inhabitants, we have 167 schools, which are attended by. 4,000 and odd pupils, nearly one-fourth part of the Waldensian population.' (Ap plause.) And besides these parish schools for boys and girls, and these district schools, which are kept mainly during five or six Winter months, we have also superior schools—a college, -where some eighty or ninety children of the Valleys receive a com plete course of clinical education, and are fitted for the theological department—a normal school for preparing school-masters, and a higher school, which serves the pur pose of educating the young ladies of the better classes of our people, and preparing school-mistresses for the g‘ girls' schools. This is the system of education complete from the A B C to the school of theology, which our young people can follow; and as you observe by the numbers I have men tioned, they gladly avail themselves of these opportunities of receiving instruction. And in this there is hope; for these people must in due time furnish the missionaries to be employed in the mission-field of Italy. Besides this, allow me, in passing, to men tion a fact which will be interesting to sev eral. You are perhaps aware that, in the Valleys hitherto, the French language has been spoken; and perhaps many might be surprised to hear that in Italy, among the Waldensians, whom we are in the habit of considering as Italians, the French, and not the Italian language is spoken ; but those who are so surprised must know that it is owing to an accident that the French lan guage has taken among us the place of the Italian. An Italian dialect was primitively, and until the year 1630, the language of the Waldensians. At that time a pestilence swept away all their ministers but two or three. No more ministers were to be had to minister to the people, and we sent to Geneva; and we obtained from that city ministers, who could preach, not in Italian, but in French; and when they came into the Valleys, as there was a degree of resem blance between the two languages, the people understood partly what their preachers told them in French, and they preferred to have a ministry in French, which they partly un derstood, rather than have no ministry at all. (Applause.) Thus did the French lan guage spread, little by little, over the Val leys; and now that new days have come, and that civil emancipation has put the Walderisiana on a footing with the other cit izens of Sardinia—now that toleration and liberty of conscience would allow them to go forward, and not only worship God- them selves, but to proclaim the Gospel of Christ to others, there was a universal feeling among the Waldensians that we should take back the poisession of our own language— (Hear, hear)—that we may be the better prepared to spread the Gospel through our Italian countrymen. Accordingly, several of our ministers have been found, whose predication is as eloquent, whose Italian is as perfect and sweet as that of any speaker in Tuscany or Rome; and now in our schools of theology, part of the leptures is, of neces sity, given in Italian. All our new ministers must be able to preach Italian, and in our colleges and schools, Italian must be taught. In a few years the French language, beauti ful as it is, will have disappeared, and have made room for the more harmonious and more useful language of Italy. (Applause.) And now I will refer a little to our mission-field. I can only remind you of those beautiful congregations which, at Turin, Genoa, Ales sandria, and Nice, have been gathered by our missionaries, and at numerous places, where traveling evangelists and colporteurs have carried the good news of salvation, and where men have received it. Our field has been enlarged every day. Every day new doors are opened; and we receive new ap peals from people who wish to hear the Gos pel, and who, having perhaps happened to hear it in visiting one of the cities where it is preached, wish to have it preached in their own towns and villages. Potriptibt. For the Preebyterlan Banner and Advocate Things Seen in a Recent Ramble. The Rev. Mr. H-- accompanied me to the residence of Doctor S—. My object in this visit, was to consult the doctor on the best means to be used "for the removal of an inflammation, that had been to me for weeks a severe affliction, and that now seemed to give signs of becoming a chronic annoyance, and even to endanger a visual organ. One of the first articles in the doctor's excellent prescription, was leeching. That this might be done, we were directed to the residence of a German lady, who lived in a distant part of the city, and who followed for a livelihood the semi-surgical arts of bleeding, cupping, blistering, leeching, Sze. After a long walk, and many inquiries, we found the residence of this woman, in cer tainly one of the most dirty, filthy and gloomy alleys in the place. We entered the house, and found it ditto. The lady re ceived us very politely, and excusing her self, retired for a short time, into a dark, back room, to adjust her toilet; for when we first saw her, she was in dishabille. During her absence, my friend and I expressed our wonder how any human being could live happy in a place of such apparent gloom and poverty. This mystery, as the reader will see, was fully explained to us in the sequal of our interview with this re markable woman. The room was small, and contained little furniture. The most conspicuous objects to be seen were large bulge, or glass vessels, filled with water, standing upon a table, in which swam to and fro hundreds of lizzard-shaped animals of all sizes, from the length of six inches down wards. I confess, reader, I looked at these snaky objgcts with some degree of trepida tion. And my nervous misgivings were a source of no little amusement to my friend H—. But, our doctoress returns, and in the most sangfroid manner possible, removes the lid from one of the jars, thrusts her hand in among these now agitated wrigglers, chases one (about the second in size) round and round the vessel for a time, until she catches it; and withdrawing her band, lays the little fellow a captive in an empty glass mug, that she held in her other hand. In the same manner she caught two others. I then asked, why she did not bring out the largest ones. " Ah, she said, " tha too pig, too pig—pite too deep—leave mark." She then punctured slightly the end of her fore finger with a needle, and with the blood that appeared, tinged the !skin in three places, immediately below my left eye, and holding the cup with the leeches up to these spots, the nasty, hungry, blood-loving rascals, shaking off their apparent torpidity, seized them with the rapacity of hungry sharks ; and so deeply did they fasten their little fangs, that when the cup was withdrawn, they all hung suspended, like so many bottle ear-bobs; and if I chanced to move my head, in the slightest degree, they would swing about like short pendulums, and their cold, slimy sides slapped against my fevered face in a way, as I thought, rather snakish, and being so near my eye, they appeared twice their real size; all of which made me twit most nervously, at which cruel-hearted H— did laugh most lustily ! The lady, misunderstanding, perhaps, the merriment of our brother, thought fit to endeavor to turn his attention to something more serious, by handing him a religious tract to read. He took it, and after he bad glanced at it a few moments, she asked, "fah it goot ?" He said, yes. Then, said the lady, in a peculiar animated, though solemn style, using English exceedingly broken, which I will by no means,atterupt to imitate, "I am a poor widow; my dear husband died long ago; he left me with two children— boys. These I loved very much; I wanted God to love them too. I often prayed with them, and told them that this good book, (taking down a large Dutch Bible from the shelf,) that this good Book was the word of God, and that he said in it that he would be a hubband to the widow, and a father to the fatherless. And I told my boys to feel that God,,was now their father; to love, fear and obey him. That they must never lie, swear, drink, gamble, break the Sabbath day, go into bad company, or do any thing that God bad told them not to do, in this Book. My boys did as I told them, and God has wonderfully blessed them. They work all day in the city, and come home to me at night; and Re all read this Bible together, before we go to bed. We pray, too, and oh, gentlemen, we do live so happy here! One of my sons is eighteen years old; the other is sixteen; and both, I have good reason to believe, are Christians—they be long to the Church. The oldest was con verted two years ago, and he now experiences daily the joys of pardoned sin. The other had a hard time, poor fellow, in his struggle rnE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCA_T from the bondage of Satan to the liberty of Christ, but he at last gained the victory; his poor soul was distressed for months. During this time he would come home to me at night, sad. Be would sit down there on the floor, and, laying his head on my lap, as I sat by him on a chair, cry and say, Oh, mother, mother, pray for me, that 1 may be happy like you and brother!' Then, gen tlemen," she continued, " I did pray for him, for it was so sweet to pray for him, and it was easy too. I readto him the promises of our blessed Saviour, as found in this Book; especially that which says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved can not turn it into good English, but if you cou'd understand that promise, gentlemen, in German, it would he very sweet; yes, very sweet. Well, after a time, my poor boy got light! Ile embraced the Saviour by faith, and sung with David, 'Bless, Oh my soul, the Lord thy f;od; and all that is within me, bless his holy name.' Then we were all happy together. Ido feel that God bas really fulfilled his word to me and my dear boys. Yes, gentlemen, God is indeed better than his word, good as that is. I can not tell you how happy a soul feels that has all its sins pardoned, and the Lord Jesus Christ formed within it the hope of glory. Gentlemen, did you ever experience this.? Perhaps, you can not understand me. I talk such poor English; but if you could read with me this German Bible, you would see that all I tell you is true. My boys can talk and read English, and they say that the English Bible says the same as the Ger man. I want every body, the rich and the poor, high and low, learned and ignorant to know how happy true religion eau make the soul in this life; and for this reason I send off to the Tract Society and get a quantity of tracts, to give to all the agicted people that come to me for aid. I want to do all the good I can while I live, and tell all I see, what a precious Saviour I have found. My boys, too, take these tracts with them and distribute them to persons in the city." Thus, dear reader, this woman talked to us for a long time, and often could be seen a sweet smile on her cheek and a glistening tear in her eye, as she spoke of the love of God in the soul. We questioned her closely on the fundamental doctrines of religion, as well as on its evidences; on the doctrines of regeneration, justification by faith, sanctifi cation by the Spirit, the freeness of Divine grace, and the unmeritorious nature of good works. She gave just such Scriptural answers as all truly converted souls always do on such subjects. If I were able to give her exactlanguage, and paint her as she stood before us, speak ing with all the tenderness and love of a true child of Jesus, then, dear reader, you would join wish me in thinking her not only a wonderful, but exceedingly lovely woman. But, I can not stay to tell you all. Never before had I heard the like in suck circum stances. I had for a time forgotten the voracious blood.suckers at my eye, and gazed with astonishment on this Christian lady, whom I could feel in my heari - , now to love as a sister. My friend H— was similarly pleased and affected. After a stay of more than'an hour, during which time the little animals had filled • themselves so full that they dropped off, we started; but not without paying the lady well for her official services, and giving her a slight pecuniary reward for her excellent advice and sermon, which latter she received rather reluctantly. As for the leeches that had taken such a feast, at the expense of my veins, the lady said the law compelled her to kill them—so that she dare use them no more. Thus, she said, theywere like the ungodly who have their portion in this life—" they does take one gorge, then die!" An apt illustration, thought we. As we wend our way out of the filthy alley above noticed, my friend remarked : "Now we see how it is possible to live happy in such a place as this, and in such an eight by-ten room. The presence of Christ always brings happiness. That poor woman knows more of real happiness than many of the sumptuously rich, who live in splendor in Penn Street. Does not this prove that the little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked ?" Yes— and might he not have added, "Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures and trouble therewith. And better is little with righteousness, than great reve nues without right." And we were both of the opinion that 'if our Lord Jesus Christ were again to visit this world in the flesh, and conic to the great city in which we then were, he would doubtless pass by many of the noble edifices of the rich, and find a welcome among those who live in poverty and comparative obscurity. Certain am I, he would pay a ready visit to at least one Christian there—poor, indeed, in this world's goods, but rich in all that pertains to eternal life. Come now, ye ministers, let us go into the lanes and allies of all our fields and cities and seek until we find the sheep of the chief Shepherd. Let us feed them, and in doing so we will ourselves be fed. Our commissions command us to do it. God's " hidden ones " are among us. Not many mighty or noble are called. At our gates are now lying many an humble Lazarus. Let us visit and ask them in. What are we doing ? Trophies of Divine grace lie at our feet, and we look over them to the rich; to these we call, and no man answers : then we mourn and lament, "Who bath believed our report ?" The poor we will always have with us, and to them the Gospel is to be preached. I believe it—and it is a great consolation to me to do so. There are far more true Christians in our cities than an outward view might at first lead us to sup pose. If all on our church rolls are not holy, yet, all of the holy are not there. After partaking of an excellent dinner at the residence of a young, prosperous and Christian lawyer in the city, I parted with friend H—, and soon found myself, in my ramblings, at No. 114 Smithfield Street, where I met Mr. J. D. Williams, general purser, and receiver general for all our Boards, and every other religious institu tion and Christian enterprise. He stopped my perambulations on foot, giving me a seat in his carriage; and after a long drive in the upper part of the city, where I saw some I beautiful private residences, and evidence of much wealth and apparent thrift among the citizens, I was set down at the beauti fully-situated and neatly-furnished home of the pastor of the Sixth Church. I was re ceived with a welcome by this good brother and his kind companion, that would have gone to the heart of the halest man living, much more - to that of a wearied and wandering in valid. Here we unrolled and read the recipe of the Doctor"; and all its requirements and suggestions were carried out in every par ticular; although this caused much labor . and trouble to almost every one in the fam ily, but especially to the reverend brother and his sympathiziom wife. Long will I remember the hours I lay here on my back, on the well-arranged lounge, while the hand of Christian kindness busily prepared, and I gently applied or removed the prescribed applications to my -painful organs of :vision. While the gentle fingers of the wife did this, the busy tongue of the husband highly entertained and instructed me with a recital of his first advent to, and his install ment over the Sixth Church as its pastor. He had encountered some difficulties, some of which were discoura g ing, but he had tried before God, to do his duty. He was much encouraged to hope that his labors would be blessed in that field, from various reasons, especially that of increasing numbers that from Sabbath to Sabbath attended his minis try, and a comparatively large accession re cently made to the membership of his church. He was fully alive to the high re sponsibility of his station, as well as to the kindness of his people, and of his brother ministers of the other churches of the city. May God bless him, and make him a blessing to that part of his vineyard, and to the world; and may the people gather around and sus tain him by their prayers and Christian lib erality. But my paper and the reader's patience are done. 1 will finish my Rambles, next week. ZED. for ttt yalnes. For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate, • Women's Rights. DR. MCKINNEY :—Dear Sir :—I am well pleased with the story of the little tin pails. There are but few wives and moth ers comparatively, that feel the importance of occupying just the right place in their families'. It is their privilege to be not only the "balance wheel," but the main-spring also. Much has been said of "women's rights," and I will make an effort to give you my idea of it. It is a woman's right to stand at her busband's side, even if he has been placed on the walls of Zion, or on the highest pinnacle of fame. It is her right to make his home the choicest spot on earth to him. It is her right, as he goes forth to his duties abroad, (let them be ever so arduous) to lighten them of half their burden, by her tender sympathies, by her parting kiss, by her cheerful encouragement and pleasant smile. And when he feels that her heart will be lifted in prayer for him in his ab scence, to Him who never slumbers nor sleeps, will he not feel strong and able to accomplish any task ! Ye wives and moth ers, you know not the power that our Father in Heaven has given you. Oh ! try to ex ert it aright. It is also your right to make your home a little paradise regained, even if wealth and all its attendant luxuries are not there. It is your right to cheer the desponding, soothe and comfort the dis tressed, smoothe the pillow of the sick and Buffering. And last, but not least, it is your right to walk in the footsteps of the meek and lowly Jesus; who is now the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Yours, truly, LIZZIE. Spring Hill, Bradford Co., Pa. A MOTHER'S COUNSEL.—Forty years ago a mother stood on the green hills of Vermont, holding by the right hand a son, sixteen years old, mad with the love of the sea. And, as she stood by the garden gate a sunny morning, she said, "Edwin, they tell me—for I never saw the ocean—that the great temptation of the seamen's life is drink. Promise me, before you quit your mother's hand that you will never drink." I gave her the promise, and I went the broad globe over—Calcutta the Mediterr anean, San Francisco, the Cape of Good Hope, the North Pole and the South—l saw them all in forty years, and I never saw a glass filled with sparkling liquor that my mother's form by the garden gate, on the green-hill•side of Vermont, did not rise be fore we, and to-day, at the age of sixty, my lips are innocent of the taste of liquor. zee Novel Reading. A WORD TO COLLEGE STUDENTS. Upon no class of persons, perhaps, does the habitual reading of that branch f our literature, denominated, .by way of distinc tion, "yellow covered," exert a more perni cious influence than upon the young men connected with our colleges and other insti tutions of learning. We have heard it asserted by those whose positions enable them to judge intelligently in this matter, that there is scarcely an instance on record where a young man, who habitually and regularly peruses works of fiction during his undergratuate course, ever received that degree of mental discipline which is neces sary for a successful entrance upon the great duties of life, and which it is the aim of a collegiate course to furnish. And, indeed, it is hard to conceive how the case should be ottierwise; for, besides the enormous waste of time, which is a necessary conse quence of any considerable indulgence - in novel reading, the mind, accustomed to fol low some sentimental hero or heroine through all sorts of silly unheard of adventures, and to revel amid scenes of fancied pleasure and happiness, takes little delight in attempting to grapple with the more profound truths of philosophy and mathematics, even when it is not wholly incapacitated to do so. It is a lamentable fact that at least half of the young men who graduate each year at our colleges, hardly possess even the rudiments of a sound and substantial educa tion. Many, after spending three or four years within the walls of a university, possess, in return for their time and money, little besides their "diploma," to which, certainly, in our day, no great importance can be attached. Now, all this may be the combined effect of many causes, into which it is not our province to inquire; but we think we hazard little in saying that the evil in question may, to a very great extent, be traced to the "popular novels," which form so important an element in the com position of the student's libraries in many of our colleges. And so long as our young men are content to spend the precious moments which ought to be devoted to the acquisitions of substantial -knowledge, and to fritter away the knowledge which God has given them, in poring over books worse than profitless, to the neglect of all that is useful and instructive, just so long arc we to expect superficial thinkers, instead of pro found thinkers; men triflers, instead of MEN. We admit that it is very important that the imagination be cultivated, and we are quite willing to grant there may be, and undoubtedly are, works of fiction which have an elevating rather than degrading tendency, and which are calculated to strengthen rather than impair the intellect. But such works, we apprehend, are extreme ly rare. And the direct tendency of nine tenths of the popular novels of the present day, is to inculcate false views of life, and to corrupt instead of cultivating the imagi nation. And we would say to students, whose attention we wish, at this time, more par ticularly to arrest, that it is a most erroneous idea, to suppose that it is necessary for a young man, while pursuing hie academic course, to become acquainted with the whole range of general liter4ure. Better, far better, to confine your attention to the text books, which have been chosen for you by your superiors in knowledge and experi ence—with, perhaps, a very few well-select ed volumes each term, than to waste your precious hours over a confused mass of "miscellaneous trash." The elegant bind ings and illuminated covers of this latter class of, hooks, may serve as ornaments to the shelves of your librarieg, and assist in making a display on "commencement occa sions," but their contents are ill-calculated to furnish wholesome food for a mind duly impressed with the value of time, and the infinite importance of a thorough prepara tion for the great duties which our Creator designed us to perform.—Ep. Recorder. BE KlND.—Hard words are like hail stones in Summer, beating down and de stroying what they would nourish were they melted into drops. ARTHIIRS, RODGERS & CO , BANKERS, AND DEALERS IN GOLD.
