FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS.'
The Big Goat; or, "My Son, if Sinners
entice thee, consent thou nos."
"0 mother, my dear mother! if you will
only buy me a big goat, I will thank jou as
long as I live." So spoke Leopold to his
mother one morning, and his face looked. as
if he would be willing to give his eyes for a
big goat.
"Do not trouble me, my child," answered
his mother; "you know it is the time of day
for you to learn your Scripture verse.—
Come to me
. and I will select one for you. It a
will not be long one, but very suitable for
your disposition."
mother; I can't think about anything
u. a ••
wig goat-,ann a carriage tor 131111 to
draw me in. Three of the boys have got
them, and every one in the city does think it
so strange that I haven't one yet."
"My son, if you had ebig goat, he might
run away with you. You know they are
sometimes very dangerous. Now, if you
will be a studious and obedient boy, I will
give you one and buy you a nice little car
riage, just as soon as you are old and strong
enough. Take your Bible, here is the verse
that 1 wish you to learn. After you have
committed it and recited it to me, together
with the one you learned yesterday, you may
take a walk with yoir sisters through our
Garden and the city park."
" Well, mother 1 will promise you to learn
the verse, and I will try to be patient until
1 get old enough to manage a big goat," said
Leopold, as he took his Bible and went up
into his bed-room on . the second floor.
He found his sisters in his room playing
with their dolls. They tried very hard to
get him to lay aside his hook and play some
game or other with them, bat he told them
that he was going to learn his verse, and did
not wish them to interrupt him.
"My son, if sinners entice thee—entice
thee—my 'son, if sinners entice thee—What
does entice . mean ? I guess it means, try_to
make you, go with them. Yes, that is it;"
and ninny-'other things of the same sort did
Leopold think and say while he was trying
to learn his verse. When his, sisters saw
that he was determined not to play, they left
him to himself.
After - he - liad learned his verse and was re
peating the one Ihe had learned yesterday,
"Evil communications corrupt good manners"
he heard a rattling over the pavement which
was neither like a carriage nor cart.
"Leopold t Leopold ! are you up thereZ"
called some one, as the vehicle stopped in
the street just before his window. His cur
tain was down; but without a moment's hes
itation he rolled it up,• and behold it • was
Fred Wettnan in his new carriage, and dri
ving his splendid big goat.
"Oh-! there yon are, Leopold. lam now
starting out to take my first ride with my
new goat and carriage. I want you down
right away to go with me. We will have
a good time together. lam going a mile or
two in the country. My goat is the biggest
in the city; so every body says. Come on,
why do you delay 1"
"I am learning my . Scripture lesson, and
have wit. it almost ready to recite to my
mother. If you will only wait until I have
recited it, I will go," replier' Leopold.
"You are a big dunce to be learning
Scripture this time of day. Besides, it is
bad -enough for Sunday-school girls and
preachers to earn Scriptures. What a ridi
culous thing for such a big boy asoyou to be
learning verses like a baby I Come, get
your hat and come down as easy as you can.
My goat is very restless. Don't you see how•
he twists about? He won't wait over two
minutes more,. He wants the whip and
'reins. Come on, you slow boy."
The last words of -Fred-were too much for
Leopold.. He was ashamed to be learning.
Scripture; he was ashamed to be in the
house when other boys were enjoying their
vacation in the streets; but more than all, he
was anxious to take a ,ride behind a fast, big
goat. It took him a few momenta to decide
what to do. He knew it was wrong to go,
but be wanted to go so much. The sun was
se bright, and the country was so' beautiful.
Satan conquered. So 'Leopold shouted down:
—"Bold on, Fred; .I'll be there in a min
ute.", •
Hecrept slily down into the pantry and
'tilled ;his pockets with cakes and apples.—
Boon he was along side of Fred, and they

ing theroad into the country. After they
had gone about allaW a mile, Fred whipped
his scat with a new whip until he was tuw.

WREN I Al DEAD.
BY HANNAH MARIA WALKER.
When I am dead let no high mound
Mark the spot where I shall sleep;
Let the tall rrass wave
About my gran,
And drooping willows o'er me weep.
Let no one dim with tears their eye,
When I ant in my peaceful real;
Let no heart break.
When I forsake,
Not e'en his own, my best.
sing as fast as he could.. They came to a
hill which had a steep descent, and the road
down was very narrow. On each side was a
deep ravine. • There was coming down the
opposite side - a large wagon piled with hay.
The driver was on top, and his two stout
horses was going very quietly. The goat
ran as fast he could down the hill, and the
boys had all they could do to hold on with
out being thrown out."
The driver'of the hay-wagon was afield
his horses would take fright and turn aside
as thesoat rushed by him. He became very
angry at , the boys, as the drivers sometimes
do, and as soon as the goat approached him
he drew back his tremendous whip and gave
him a severe blow. It would have been well
for the boys if the goat bad been the only
one inj nred, but they both shared th •
'c
ries inflicted by the man's whip. The lash
was very long, and it cut across their faces
and made them streaming with blood. They
were very angry. But what could they do ?
And they saw that it was as much as they
could attend to, to keep the goat from throw
ing them down the ravine:
It was only the goodness of God that
spared their lives: But they did nut thank
him as they ought. Nor did they then turn
back, as good boys should have done. Leo
pold would have been glad to do it, but he
was so timid that he was afraid to speak out
his honest convictions to Fred. If he had.
done.that, all would still have been right.
They stopped at a spring of water and
washed their faces. Leopold's eye was very
much hurt by the driver's whip, though this
appeared for the time to be the only serious
injury inflicted. When the goat had got
rested, they started on again. Fred whip
ped him very hard tied' he ran, I suppose
he must have become very angry; for he
kicked several times, then stopped and back
ed, and then ran off at full speed. He wheel
ed close by the road side, and afterwards
crossed over to the other side. Off he ran
again, as fast as he could. A farmer's gate
was open, and he passed through it, running
over the fields, and finally galloping down
into a valley of briars and bushes. The car-
out. Fred's foot caught in the carriage as
it turned over, .and he• could hardly draw it
out. By this time the goat had broken
loose, and he went off trembling as if he were
frightened to death. The boys were in a
dreadftil state. I wouldn't have one of my
young friends in such a condition for 'any
thing. It was a long time before the goat
could be caught, and the harness tied up so
as to be strong enough to get home with.
But the boys got matters in some shape
again, .and started off home. Fred's foot
was dislocated, and Leopold's face and hands
were fearfully scratched by the:briars. Both
boys had their clothes torn almost off them.
As they rode home slowly to the city,
Fred asked Leopold what he was going to
tell his mother as soon as she should see his
bad plight.
"I am going to confess my sin, Fred, in
going out to ride with you, when I ought to
have remained at home."
"Indeed you shan't," replied Fred ; "you
shall tell a lie, and hide me and you too. A
boy as big as you ought to be able to devise
a good story to shield us. You need not tell
a big story—just small enough and big e
nough for the occasion."
These last words of Fred did bad work in
poor Leopold's heart. lie did not wait to
be corrected, and he thought a story would
shield hint. All at once he thought of the
verse—"bly son, if sinners entice thee, con
sent thou not." But no sooner had the
beautiful verse came into his mind than Fred
said :—"Well. you can do as you please.—
But if you tell your mother that you have
been wtilt • nte, I will never give you a ride
in my carriage a long as I live. I guaran
tee nobody finds out anything from me."
Fred's threat that he should never ride
with him again conquered his conscience,
and he resolved that he would tell a story.
At last he reached home, though to avoid
detection, Fred had him to get out of his
carriage at least two blocks from home. He
then drove off to his home by another street.
Leopold's mother happened to be in the
hall when he entered the front door. She
was frightened, and at first she did not know
that it was her son motto was before her.—
But at last - she recognized him, and asked
hint where he had been and what he had
Dm] doing. H I replied :
"I—l—was walking—down Second street
—and—and—and—three—big dogs—got--
got--around me and bit — bit--bit—me, and
tore—tore—"
•"Stop, my. son, I know where you have
been. L learned an hour ago that you had
stolen out of your room and taken a seat in
Fred's carriage. Ho is a very bad boy, and
you know very well that I have often given
you my advice never to associate with him.
It was Fred whom I bad in my mind when
I gave you the beautiful verse to learn to
day. if you had only practiced it, you
would look very differently now. lam ex
ceedingly sorry that you have told an un
truth to hide your previous sin and misfor
tune." -
Leopold was .completely overpowered.—
The tear came to his eyes and streamed down
his face: He ran_up to his mother and put
his arms around her neck and said
"Ah,"dear mother, I am so sorry that
disobeyed you. And the verse. you gave me
I have violated: 0 mother Ido for vs me.
I beg your pardon many times. on't you
forgive me, mother ?"
-- 4 `241y dear boy, when you dis eyed the
'eetninand, 'lf tanners entice thee, consent
thou not," it w ax God whom you disobeyed.
.1 forgive you and I trust you will ask God
'to forgive you and make you stronger in fu
ture.' '
"I will, mother," and poor Leopold wept
as if his heart woukl i... break. He repented
in earnest.
Toward evening -his eyes swelled up, , for
the driver'i whip had injured both of them.
The doctor was sent for, and he 'said there
was danger of losing one 'of them. Next
morning his whole face and hands where so
swollen that his most intimate friends would
not have known who it was. Eight days he
lay on his bed in violent agony. The coun
try around was changing ooler, fir autumn
was coming on—the season he loved the best
of all. But he had to stay two months in a
dark room.
Fred was injured much worse than Lep
pold, for the latter did recover without los
ing his eye. It was weak, however, as long
as he lived, and when he was nineteen years
old he was compelled to wear. spectacles.—
But Fred's foot. which / was dislocated, had
to be taken o ff by the doctor, and always af
terward he had to walk on crutches. He
repented -bitterly bf his whickeduess ; but. all
his repentance never gave him another foot.
Both boys became better in future, but it
was a severe lesson that brought them to
their senses.
That is the way God punishes wicked
children. I hope every boy and girl in this
country will never forget the beautiful com
mand :
'ql sinners entice thee, consent thou not."

A prudent young man will at least let
twenty one years pass over his head befori
he contemplates faking upon himself the re
sponsibility of the most solemn engagement
he will have to enter into during the whole
of his life. Too early 'marriages are repo
Cant to the laws of nature, and, with some
rare exceptions, are productive of -unhappi
ness.. Violent fires sometimes extinguish
themselves; and the man, very often, after
waking from the bridle-dream of . his youth,
finds himself regretting the rashness and Im
prudence he had committed durinc , that

wife has to endure the knowledge that she

requisite on such an important occasion.—
His eyes are blinded by passion, and the re
flective power he can devote to such a cir
cumstance is dazzled by beauty of face and
figure. associated probably with accomplish
ments more ornamental then useful. When
he has discovered the mistake he has com
mitted, all his wife's perfections vanish, and
he unjustly attempts to throw the whole of
the blame on her shoulders. Such matches
are unequal and are the causes of so much
misery afterwards. Three or four years will
make a greater difference in the appearance
of a woman thln in'that of • a man; besides
it is ridiculous to mate a grown up woman
with a boy. Such marriages offend social
propriety and tend to lessen the respect
which is paid to a social contract. Women,
more sensible in such matters than men, in

A Question Answered.
Can, any one tell why, when Eve wasmade
out of one of Adam's ribs, a hired girl was
not made at the same time, to wait upon her ?
We can, easy I Because Adam never came
whining to Eve with a hole in his stocking
to be darned, a button to be seed on, or a
glove to be mended right away, quick now !
Because he never read the newspaper until
the sun got behind the palm-tree, and then
streched himself, yawning out, 'Ain't supper
most ready, my dear ?' Not he. He made
the fire and hung over the teakettle, we'll
venture, and did everything he ought to.
He milked the cows, fed the chickens, and
looked after the pigs. He never stayed out
until 11 o'clock at a ward meeting, hurrahing
for the out and out candidate, and then soot.
ding because poor, dear Eve was sitting up
and crying inside the gates. To be sure he
acted rather cowardly about apple gathering
time, but then he never played billiards, nor
drove fast horses, nor choked Eve with cigar
smoke. In short, he didn't think she was
created specially fur the purpose of waiting
on him, and wasn't under the impression
that it disgraced a man to lighten his wife's
cares a little. That's the reason Eve did
not need a hired girl.

\--JMitical Anecdote.
Wherever the rifle anitthe axe of the har
dy pioneer were seen, there were also sure to
appear, not long afterwards, the saddle-bags
of the Methodist ministers.. An anecdote
which we find in the sketels-of Richard Nol--
ley well illustrates. this. Mr. Nolley was
one of a small band of missionaries seat out
from the South Carolina Conference about
1812, to labor in the wilds of Mississippi and
LOuisiana, which were then scarcely settled,
and occupied to some extent by tribes and
not always friendly Indians. Mr. Nolley
was a man of great energy, ;eat, and &Wrap.
He was exposed to many dangers in the
prosecution of his work, both from the hos
tilesavages and the opposition of white men.
-But he was rigidly faithful, and omitted no
opportunity of doing good to persons of any
condition, in whatever obscure corner I.lnp
could find them.. On one occasion, while
travelling, he came upon,a fresh wagon track,
and while following it, he discovered au emi
grant family who had just reached the spot
where they intended to make their home.
The man, who was putting put his team,• saw
at once by the costume and bearing of the
stranger, what was -his calling and exclaimed,
"What! another Methodist preacher ? I
quit Virginia to get out of the way of them,
and went to a new settlement in Georgia,
where I should be quite heyand their reach;
but they got - my wife and daughter into the
Church. Then, in this late purchase, Choc
taw Corner, I found a piece of good laud,
and was_sure I should have some peace of
the preachers; but here is one bef'ore my
wagon is unloaded." "My feiend,".said Mr.
Nolley, "if you go to heaven, you'll find
Methodist preachers there; and if you go to
hell, I'm afraid you'll find some there; and
you see how it is in this world. So you bad
better make terms with les and be at peace.

I have worshipped the God of my fathers

Thick the clouds like fancies floating,
On the !Wow of H4avegee km, -
Lights end shadows flitting o'er 'us,
Tinging all with richergrace.
Purple, blue and golden fringing.
Pearls of beauty in the sunset sky,
MI the Earth with grandeur
But with the swum they must die.
Why is it thus with 4 earth's pleasures,
Ere wo touch the cup the vision's flown,
Their sweets we try in vain to weasere,
A happy moment end—they're gone,
The lung. last form of buried beauty,
Imaged in a niche of thought,
Oft treads its halls, as if a duty,-
Impelled to show what time bad wrought.
Through the long, uncertain dream of years
A tempting voice thus whispers low,
"Shed no more ofeorrres tears,
THY BAND can rid thee of thy woe I"
What answer shall that *lit havo
The future yet roust tell,
If this is joy on earth to live;
Then grant me Heaven or Hello

Another spirit whispers sweetly,
Eyes of beauty gaze in !ruge,
Frain their depth I seek the agavrer.
• La, •Will she ever yet he mine
Soul as pure as angels dreaming,
Spirit of God-given life, _
Thine the voice though little seeming,
Turned me to a purer life.
With the magic of thy voice.
And thy spirit light and airy,

A few evenings ago, the nev. Mr. Clark,
pastor of the ' United Presbyterian Church
in Alleghamity. Pennsylvania, urged in a pray
er-meeting upon the young men of his con
gregation the necessity of enlisting. At the
close of his address, one young man arose
and said : "Sir, if you will lead us into the
battle-field, I for one wil: follow." ee min
ister immediately responded to the challenge
and recorded his name as a soldier of the-U
-nited States Army. .Before the ndjutirn
meat of the meeting, more than thirty youag
men enrolled their names, and by the next
day the whole cowpony was made up, and :be
pastor was elected their. captain. The work
did not stop here, however,. for within the
next 36 hours a second full company waril'or
ganized, and by Saturday morning a third
one, entire and complete, was sworn into ser
vice.
I'LL - TELL PA WHEN ILE COMEB HOME.
—A friends of ours, who had taken pride
for several years in cultivating a full crop of
hair on his face, was called away on business
some time since. While absent, an inexpet 7
ienced barber spoiled his whiskers in trio.•
ming them; which so chargrined him that Le
directed the barber to make a clean job of it
by shaving whiskers and moustache both off.
The barber obeyed, and our friend's tace
was as smooth and as delicate as when in his
teens. lie returned home in the night.—
Next morning his little girl did not recognize
him on waking up. Looking ever her moth•
or. and seeing as she supposed a 'stranger in
the bed, she remarked in her childish situ•
plicity, "Mister, got out of here ; PU tell m'
Papa, when he comes home." -
"Snobbs," said Mrs. Snobbs to her has- -
band, the other day, after the ball, "Seobbs,
why did you dance with every lady in the
room, last night, before you noticed me "
"Why, my dear," said the,. devoted Snobba,
"I was only praetieting.what we do at the
table reservethe beat for the last."
The distinction between liking and loving
was well made by a little girl six years old.
She, was eating something aareakfast which
she seemed to relish very much. "Do you
love it e asked her aunt. "No," replied
the child, with a look of disgust, I like, it.—
If I loved it I should kiss-it.
It is hard to believe that in the heart of
tal'acora is encased the heart of a ship whielt --
shall baffle the storms of' fifty, years; but no
harder than to believe that in all men lodges
the germ of an angel. •
Laughter, sleep, and hope are - the three
bounties with which kind Milker Nature
ofirupensates us for the troubles of life which
few, perhaps, would accept if tlie,ywere asked
beforehand.
