Bich, Though Poor.
No rood of land in all the earth,
No ships upon the sea,
Nor treasures rare, nor gems, nor gold,
Do any keep for me;
As yesterday I wrought for bread,
So Must I toil today;
Yet sumo are not co rich as I,
Nor I so poor ea they.
On yonder tree the sun-light falls,
The robin 's on the bough,
Still I can hear a merrier note
Than he is warbling now ;
He's but an Arab of the sky,
And never lingers long ;
But that o'erruns the livelong year
With music and with song.
Come, gather round me, little ones,
And'as I sit me down, •
With shouts of laughter on me place
A mimic regal crown ;
Say, childless king, would I accept
Your armies and domain,
Or e'en your crown, and never feel
These tiny hands again ?
There's more of honor in their touch e
And blessing unto me,
Than kingdom mate kingdom joined,
Or navies on the sea :
So greater gifts to me are brought
Than Sheba's Queen did bring
To him, who at Jerustern
*Was born to be a King.
.Look at my crown and then at yours ;
Look`in my heart and thine :
How do our Jewels thus compare—
The earthly and divine T
Hold up your diamonds to the light,
Emerald and amethyst;
They 're nothing to those love•lit eyes,
Those lips so often kissed !
Oh noblest Roman of them all,
That mother good and wise,
Who pointed to her little ones, -
The Jewels of her eyes.
Four sparkle in my own to day,
Two deck a sinless brow—
Row grow my riches at the thought
Of those in glory now!
And yet no rood of all the earth,
No ships upon the sea,
No treasures rare, nor gold, nor gems,
Are safely kept for me ;
Yet I am rich—myself a king I
And here is my domain,
Which only God shall take away
To give me back again.

repute for the correctness ofhis theological views,
and the amount and character of his writings.
And muoh has been written concerning him and
his mother Monica. Bat a book was wanting
that would present a condensed and comprehen

Hannah More has for a' long time been well
knowil by her various and valuable writings, and
her intercourse and correspondence with the
moat distinguished philanthropists and literary
characters of her day. But it is not so generally
known that she had a sister, Martha, equally die:
tingnished for Christian worth and active benevo
lence. As early as 1789 the attention of these
ladies was called tothe condition of the poor and
degraded in their own neighborhood; they origi
nated week-day and Sabbath Schools in nine or
ten mining towns; and for many years devoted
much time and, money with much emcees in ef
forts for the reformation of the depraved. The
Journal of Martha, which comprises a considera
ble part of this, recites their motives, the
opposition they met, and the happy results they
achieved. It may be read with great advantage
now, when many are seeking, owing to the in
• creased religions interest, methods, and opportu
nide, for usefulness.

would unite their means, and buy some ten or

great common Sense, as well as much force, in
the appeals which it contains. There are nine
chapters in the little volume, but each chapter is
so short that it 'maybe read in a few-minutes,
and the weighty, pungent matter is adapted to

When the Commentary on the Epistle to the
Colossians, by Dr. Sadie, appeared, we had coca
sion to commend itfor the mature judgment and
profound scholarship which it displayed. We
had been aware that in Glasgow this eminent Di-,
vine held a high place as a sound and powerful
preacher; but we had no idea of the great extent
of his erudition until these his later works began
to appear. For II long period, Biblical Litera
ture had scarcely an existence in Scotland. Pro
fessors in Colleges confined their students to
mere didactic Theology, Church history, and the
elements of Hebrew. Even as-late as 1540, we
remember to have seen it objected to as a reason
why 86:Wants shcculd not be allowed to leave their
classes in the Theological Hall in Belfast• for the
Hall in Edinburgh, that in the Scottieh Metropo
lis, Biblical Criticism had no place in the Curri
culum. Such a chFietannot be urged against
the Hall of the 'United Presbyterian Church; and
the very learned and ample critical work before
us shows that the students who go forth to the
work of the ministry from under the care of Pro
fessor Eadie, have enjoyed the . highest advan
tages in their examination of the Text of the Di
vine Volume. The paper , and typography of the
volume are of the first class character.

The Mother at the lierey-Seat.
A . mother had been for years the only
Christian in the family. Her husband and
nine children were not immoral, but none
of them gave evidence of piety.
:Hid- this mether been Less firm in charac
ter, and faith', andleee resolute of purpose,
she might have yielded to the current,
pleading that resistance was unavailing.
But she was qualified to meet the responsi.:
bility of her position. She felt that God
had 'Committed to her trust ten unconverted
souls, dear as her own life, and that she
must so fulfill the obligations resting on her,
that if any were lost it should not be through
her neglect of duty.
She carefully endeavored, first of all,
that her own life should be consistent'with
her profession, and she also improved every
propitious season in giving judicious instruc
tion and warning. She used all appropri
ate means, and in her various efforts, love
was the dominant power, exhibited in those
acts of kindness which is 4 4 a potent winner
of the heart." .But-her great •reliance was
upon fervent, unceasing prayer, sent up
ward to the mercy-seat with unwavering
faith in the Divine promises. In the many
supplications'offered in secret, the strength
of maternal loVe added fervor to devotion.
She used to 'say that her thoughts were
diverted, and the ardor of intercession
damped by passing over different topics ;
and therefore, although she prayed for -all
her family' at once, yet so she could not
" pour out her heart,
,like • water before the
Lord." She presented each child separate
ly before - the 'throne of grace. In this in
dividual supplication she formed the habit
of what might be called concentrated prayer.
The power of supplication was expended upon
one childi Ralf - it had been an only . one;
and intense became the , earnestness thus
fixed and kindling upon a single object.
This was indeed prayer, and in his own
time it prevailed with God.
But long had his mother seemed to •pray
in vain, and her faith. was sorely tried
through years of it hop) deferred. Yet
now the reaping time was, near. She who
had gone forth weeping, sowing the precious
Ned, was to return again, bringing her
sheaves with her.
The first convert war the eldest daughter;
the two.eldest sons.snon - after obtained the
good -hope
_through grace. And succes
eively, at intervals,, the whole of the nine
children made a profession of faith.
Unbounded thankfulness and joy filled
the Mother's heart, but one sorrow remained.
The husband and father was still impeni
tent. There was great despondency on his
account, for he was now'advanclng in years,
and he had begun to forint the habit of in
temperance. ' For him, the many - Prayers
remained unanswered. Had the suppli
cating wife, in the abundance of her bless
ings, received all that God was 'willing to
grant? Must the father see all his family
in-the kingdom of heaveh, and be himself
" thrust out 7" This thought was a burden
too heavy to be borne, and yet she who by
4 the' fervent, effectual prayer of the right
eous" had availed-so much, feared that her
last desire, the salvation of her husband,
might not be granted. All her tears, en
treaties, and prayers, had not prevailed;
and might not the harvest be past?
After much painful- reflection, the faith
ful wife r s esolved to make one final effort,
and then leave the case with God. She
spent a night of anguish, with a fervor of
supplication she had" never before expe
rienced;; and in the' morning she thus ad
dressed her husband : "I have offered for
.1 4 .
you many prayers; have : often en reate.d
you to attend to your salvation, ut it
has been all in vain. God has gi n me
my charm, but you are without hope. I
can do• no more. We• have lived happily
together in time, but I fear we must be sepa
rated in eternity; I have but one more re
quest to make, and then I must leave you
with God. Do, this moment, seek the sal
vation of your soul."
This message, brought down from the
" mount of God," was irresistible. The
husband seemed for a moment paralyzed
and speechless. Finding utterance, he sim
ply replied'-with significant 'emphasis, "1
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
will." He immediately left his work and
retired to the field, resolving, as he after
wards
said, never to return till he had be.
come a Christian. The whole long Summer
day down to the deep shades of night was
he absent, to the alarm of bis family,, who
sought but found him not. Thinking him
self that they would be distressed at his
absence, he returned—not a Christian, but
deeply aden with the burden of sin. Some
days passed away, and then he experienced
a change from death''to life. He dared not
at first trust the evidences of conversion,
but the light increased as he " followed on
to know the Lord," and fear was over
powered by joy.
A revival of religion bad Commenced at
the time, and the aged convert attended the
evening meeting. He supposed that none
had heard of the change in his character,
but there was joy on earth, as well as “among
the angels, " for the tidings had spread
abroad. When the meeting was dismissed,
the young converts and members of the
church gathered around the new disciple,
taking him by surprise as they rejoiced over
his salvation. It was a moving scene. As
he described it, "The young people wept,
and I. wept. We were all children together,
and I as much a child as 'any of them."
The cup - of the praying mother could hold
so more. God had granted all that she
asked, and she could now hope to eit'down
at last with all her family in heaven. Oh,
infinite reward of faith and prayer! What
glory of earth can be named with this? -
The praying mother still lives, extremely
aged, blind, infirm, but retaining ,remarka
hip her mental faculties, and her spiritual
vigor. She has seen her children connect.
ed with pious families, and listened to some
of them as preachers of the Gospel. Most
of her grand.childie.n am also members of
the church; one a missionary to a foreign
land; and for each of the unconverted she
continues the daily prayer. The aged dis
ciple patiently waits, but longs to depart.
She often turns her sightless orbs up to
ward heaven as if asked, How long, Lord,
how long ? But long as her life has been
protracted, she has not lived in vain.
Christian mothers, see in this example
what power God has granted you. Use it
faithfully and well, for great is "the recom
pense of, reward."

Paid in Your Own-Coin.
"Grandmother, I hate .to go away from
yon; you like me, and nobody else does.
Last night George Redin and I had a quar
rel ; I struck him,
and he struck me. No
body likes me." Peter Jones said this as
he was sitting on his trunk ready to start
for home.
"He only paid you in your own coin,"
said grandmother;` "people generally do—
n. blow for a blow, cross words for cross
words, hate for'hate." "I do n't know but
it is so," said Peter, looking very sorry,
" but.it is a poor. sort of coin."
"How different it would be if your
pockets were full of the right sore of coin,"
said grandmother. " What kind ?" asked
Peter. "The coin of kindness," said
grandmother. "If the great pockets of
your heart were full of that sort of coin, the
more you, paid away, the more you'd get
babk, for you are generally paid in your own
coin, you know ; then how happy you would
be."
" The coin of kindness," repeated Peter
slowly; "that is a good coin • is n't it?
wish my pockets were fall of it, grand
mother. If I'd be kind to the boys, they'd
be kind to me." " Just so," said grand
mother.
Peter's own mother died. After that, he
was sent to grandmother's, for he hada quar
relsome, fretful temper, and his aunt could
not manage him with the other children.
His grandmother dealt kindly and patiently
with him, and helped him to improve him
self. Peter now had a new mother, and his
father had sent for him to come home.
Peter did not .want to go. He felt sure be
should not like his new mother, and that she
would not; like him. "That depends upon
yourself,. Peter," said grandmother.; " carry
love and kindness in your pocket, and you'll
find no 'difficulty." The idea struck the
boy favorably. He wished he could, he
said. • •
"And the-best of it is," maid grand
mother, "if you once begin paying it out,
your pockets will never be empty, for you'll
be paid in your own coin. Be .kind, and
you'll be treated kindly; love, and you'll be
loved." " I wish I could," said Peter.
All the way home he more or less thought
of it. I do not know about his welcome
home, or what his father or new mother said
to him. The next morning he arose early,
as he was used' to at grandmother's, and
came down stairs, where every thing being
new, he felt very strange and lonely. "I
know I silent be contented here," he said
to himself, "I know I sha'nt. , I'm afraid
there's not a . bit of love in my pocket."
However, in a little while his new mother
came down, when Peter went up to her and
said, "Mother, what can I do to help you 7"
"My dear boy," she said, kissing him on
the forehead, "how thoughtful you are. I
thank you for your kind offer; and what
can I do to help' youl for I am afraid you
will be lonely here at first, earning from your
dear, good grandmother."
What a sweet kiss was that. It made him
so happy. That's paying me in more than
my own coin," thought Peter. Then he
knew he should love. his new mother; and
from that good hour Peter's pockets began
to fill with the beautiful bright ooin of kind
ness, which is the best" em ail change" in the
world. K6p your pockets full of it, and
you will never be in want.

Matter Inert Apart from God.
It is a cheering fact that the eminent
scientific men of our country are, 'almost
without exception, believers in a personal
God, and in a revealed system of religion.
They find clear and satisfactory evidence
that the Book of Nature and the Bible dis
close the character and plans of one and the
same Deity, and that science and revelation
must be in harmony. Prof. Mitchell, in "his
recent course of lectures, thus referred to
the favorite dogma of some philosophers,
thatlhe operations of nature are independ
ent of God:
"I cannot conceive that it is possible that
inert matter can have any force. I believe
that this force is the will—the ever•acting,
resistless will of God, the Omnipotent Crea
tor. * * * * Is there any power in
matter ? Go with me and examine the
brawny smith at his anvil. See him wield
the ponderous sledge, and mark how the
bright sparks fly as he brings it dOwn upon
the heated iron with tremendous power. Is
there power in that muscular arm ? Nay !
Cut it off. There is the same figure and
form, the same mass of flesh and blood," of
bones, muscles, and sinews. But it is inert
and dead—severed from the will of him who
was the' moving power. Cut God from the
Universe, and chaos comes again."
The Relation of the Sexes.
Strange, and passing strange, that the re
lation between the two sexes, the passion of
love, in short, should not be taken into
deeper consideration by our teachers and
our legislators. People educate and legis
late as if there were no such thing in the
world ; but ask the priest, ask the physician
—let them reveal the amount of moral and
physical results from this one cause. Must
love be always discussed in blank verse, as
if it were a thing to be played in tragedies
or sung in songs—a subject for pretty poems
and weak novels, and had nothing to do with
the prOsaic current of our every day exist
ence, our moral welfare ? Must love be ever
treated with profaneness, as a mere illusion?
or with coarseness,.as` a mere 'impulse ?.or
with fear, as a mere disease ? or with shame
as a mere weakness / or with levity as a
mere accident ? Whereas it is a-great mys
tery, and a great necessity, lying at the
foundation of human existence, morality,
and happiness—mysterious, universal, inevi
table as death:' Why, then, should love be
treated less seriously than death - ? It is as
serious a thing.—Mrs. Jameson.

DR. CHURCHILL'S DISCOVERY!
Winchester's Genuine Preparation of Dr. J. P.
Churchill's Compound of the
HYPOPHOSPHITES
OF LIME, SODA, AND POTASH.
A MUM REMEDY PER THE TREATMENT EP
CONSUMPTION.
The great ChemicoMedical Discovery of the celebrated
Dr. J. F. Churchill, of Paris, first made known by him to
the French Academy of Medicine about two years ago,
marks a new and important Era in the annals of Medical
Science.
Now, for the first time is the history of the world, has a
SEMSDY been found that surely strikes at the very founda
tion of Pulmonary Disease, and by restoring the deficient
chemical elements of the blood, increases the principle
width constitutes nervous or vital force, invigorates the
nutritive functions, and thus not only mums, but also PRE
irims, the development of this hitherto moat fatal Scourge
of the human race.
Akie- OVUTION T - 0 THE PUBLIC. 'li4t
'Various preparations are already in the market, purport
ing to be based on Dr. Churchill's discovery against which
we solemnly'caution both the - profesSiou and the public.
To remove all doubts in - regard to the chemical parity of
my preparation of Hypophosphites, I beg the attention of
the public and the profession to the fillowlng
TaainioNT OR DR. CEUVrOIf :
. " I have carefully analyzedeamples of the Hypophoephites
of Lime, Soda, and Potash - from which Mr. J. Winchester
manufactures Dr. Churchill's Compound Solution of the
IfypOphoriphites, and find them to be properly made and
chemically pure. Having had many opportunities of test
ing the uniform purity of the articles which he uses in

And now, to Author caution the public against impure
and unreliable preparations claiming to be founded on Dr.
Churchill's discovery, I quote an extract from a letter pub

Taniecorrr OP DR. CHURCHILL

fectly pure; otherwise they may, in someeases, appear alto
'gather inert, or even injuneoz. In five cases out of six, the
Salts usually sold as pure in Paris, under the name of
Hypophosphites, are totally nail for Medical use. *
I use no other treatment of any kind, unless required
by the existence of complications, such as intercurrent in
flammation of the lungs, diarrhea, cardiac disease, &c."
The use of the Hypophospites shows these preparations to
'have a•two-fold and specidc action. On the one hand, they

tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,

undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
