The child's eye flashed with delight on what she never, perhaps, had had in her possession before, and she clasped her hands tightly over her prin. " Now," said her father, " I see a great many, ships open', in this' quarter, though it is God's day. You must, on no account, spend that coin in any of them to-day, but keep it till to-morrow. You understand, I won't be - eivith you, to see you ;. but There is One who will ! tsee yen, .and find out at 'once if you break the Lord's day." The child was silent, but kept looking,up. in the speaker's face with a dark, tliought ful °' rho will See,you?" le asked, after a' pause. ""; " Myself wil l see me," said the child in iin ,instant, and with a gesture of pride. ghe did not• know how noble her answer yeas; but sbe gave ik,clearly. r and promptly.

Perhaps, after all, it came to this, that God i'vaa so at home in the poor little heart, that she knew no difference between his eye, and her own eye. Can each child who reads this say so ? Is God at home in your heart, and making it so pure and holy,*that you think it the most solemn thing to say, ;when- you are tempted to sin; as that ragged child said, " Myself .will see me .?"

Yet you learn, on inquiry, that, connect ed by a hidden path, it propels all the ma chinery.of those numerous and vast estab lishments. It is perfectly astonishing; so much so that you look on that little silent worker, in wonder if it can be so 1 But you will notice, on careful observation, that it is nicely geared, constantly oiled, beauti fully burnished, and in all respects kept in the most perfect order. This, in connex ion with the superior workmanship of its original make, accounts for its beautiful and efficient action. It is just so with the mind, my younc , friends. It is a most per fect piece of workmanship, as it comes from the hands of God. But it is our business to gear, and oil, and keep it in running or der. Thus treated, it is capable of great things; such as the world, perhaps, has' not yet seen. But you must see to it that no rust-spots of naughty, corroding sins get upon the machinciy, to mar its , beauty and consume its life; that no friction of passion 'or hurt ful lusts, is allowed to wear it; that the jarring or disarrangement of no bad habit is allowed to destroy the regularity and perfection of its motion; and last., but not least, you must see to it that no dust of in dolence or neglect shall be permitted to g ither on is surface, or clog atilt impede its movements, and thus destroy its practical efficiency. Now, my young friends, when you see people making a great noise about their at tainments, or what they are doing, or intend t.) do, especially if you find ffaurself at all given to such display, think of the pro cesses of nature, how still they are, and yet how much they accomplish. By " processes of nature," I mean such things as gravity, electricity, growth of vegetation, etc., 'etc. When you are inclined to underrate the value of thinking, and the power of the mind; remember the little engine at Spring field, what force there is in it, and how much it accomplishes. Then consider how vastly more powerful and wonderful is the MIND, the thinking machine, that made it, and could make others superior, even, to this. If you do this, am sure none of you will esteemlightly the art of thinking, or be so unwise as to neglect it yourselves. intended to give you, at this time, some., thoughts, which came into my mind the other day, about the well of Samaria.

I was sitting, on a very warm and bright. Sun:titer -morning, upon a grave-stone in a church-yard. It was a flat gravestone, ele vated upon four little pillars; add covering the I spot.,where sleeps the mortal part of a venerable clergyman who preceded me in' my 'parish, and ;who held the charge of it for sixty years. I had gone down there as usual, for awhile after breakfast, with a little companion who, in those days, was gene,rally with me wherever I went. And' while she was walking•aboWattended by a solemn, dog,l sat down the. , sunshine on the stone, gray with lichen and green with moss. „I thought ot. the.,,old,g,ontlm ean,l who sleptViglow'loeffty "years_ 'l' wondered if he had sometimes come to the chureglird 'after Weakfast, heford he he= , gan his task 'of sermorr`writing.

It has travelled, I thought to myself, alono , thousands of written pages--it has paid away money, and occasionally received it. In many things that hand has fallen short, I thought; yet several`things whieh that hand found to do, did with its might. So here, I thought, were , three hands , not far apart. There was the' little hand.pf fancy; four daisies were lying nearit on the gravestone .where it was laid down to dompare with mine. Then the rather skinny and not very small hand; which is now doing the work of life., And a couple of yards beneath, there was another hand, whose work was over: It was a hand which had written many sermons preached in that plain church; which •had turned' over the leaves of the large pulpit' Bible .

Faith. When Charles F. imperiously required the' Confession of Augsburg to be aban doned, and gave the Protestant leaders only six months more in which to make up their minds finally, the cause of the Reformation was thought hopeless. But Luther ex clainfed : " I saw a sign in the heavens, out of my window at night; the stars, the hosts of heaven, held up in a vault above me; and yet I could see no pillars on which the Master had made it to rest. But I had no fear it would fall. Some men look about for the pillars, and would fain touch them with their hands, as if afraid the sky would fall. Poor souls ! Is not God always' there ?"—Dr. Gill. One Thing and Another. A boy was tempted by some of his com panions to pluck• some ripe cherries fromn tree, his father had forbidden him to touch. " You need not be afraid," said they, " for if your father should:find out you had taken them, he is so kind he would not hurt you." "That is the very reason," replied the boy, why I should not touch them. It is true, my father may not hurt me, yet my disobedience, I know, would hurt my father, and that would be worse to' Ine than 'any thing else!' A little boy had lived for some time with a very penurious uncle,"Whcilitis - one day, walking out, with the child at hiaside, when a friend accosted him, accompanied by a greyhound. The little fellow, - never havinr , seen a dog of so slim and slight a tex ture, clasped' the creature round the neck, with the impassioned cry, " Oh, doggie, I doggie! and div ye, live wi' ' your uncle, tae, that you. are so thin?" A fop, just returned from a continental tour, was diked how he liked the ruins of Pompeii. "Not very well," was the reply;. "they .are so.dreadfully out of repair." A celebrated female writer thus pleads the cause 'of the 'little girls :—" I plead that she be not punished as a romp, if she keenly enjoy those active sports which city gentility proscribes. I plead that the am liition to' make her accomplished do not chain her to the piano, till the spinal col umn, which should consolidate the frame, starts aside like a broken reed—nor bow her over her book, till the vital energy, which might to pervade 'the *hole - frame, 4nounts into the brain, and kindles the brain fever."

The Foot of a Horse. The•hinnan hand has often'been taken to illustrate,,Divine wisdom, and , very well. But have, you ever examined your horse's hoof? •It is hardly less curious in its way. Its parts' are ,somewhat etnriplieitted, yet their d t esiga is simple and - obvious. The hoof is not, as it appears to the careless• eye, a mere lump of ,insensible bone fasten ed te:the.legby a joint. It is Made up of a series of 'thin layers, or leaves of horn, about five hundred in number, nicely fitted to each other and forming a ljning to the foot itself. Then there are as many more layers belonging to what is called the " coffin bene, and fitted into this. These are elastic. Take a-quire of •paper and in sert the leaves one by 'one into those of another qnire, and you will get some idea of the arrangement ..of the several layers. Now, the weight of the horse rests on as many elaitic spring aslhere are layers in his four feet—about four thousand; and all this 'is contrived. not only for the easy conveyance of the horse's own body, but for whatever burdens may be laid en him.. Colts on o.llard Floor. Some people state that colts should sten& on a hard plank floor, in order to toughen , them for a hard road. It looks to me like putting hard, thick shoea on an infant's foot, to raise corns that will trouble him for life. low-Headed Fruit Trees In trimming fruit trees, we should al ways be careful to secure the trunk from the rays of the Summer sun. Solar heat, by being : leng permitted to come in contact with the bark, is said to scald the circula ting fluids, and - thus cause many of the diseases Which affect fruit trees in this cli mate. The foliage only should be fully ex posed-to the influences of heat, for that is capable 'of bearing `it unharnied, and even .to profit-by it, when, most intense. It has been asserted by distinguished terra-cultu rists, that trees which are permitted to branch out low—say three or four feet from the ground—are rarely attacked by " fire " frozen-sap blight," black spots, or Other diseases of the bark or limbs. There is, also, another advantage attend ing thisTractice. The'soil is kept lighter, looser, and;more free from weeds, and there is no necessity of mulching. The high winds•pass,. also, almost 'harmless over the trees, and have not power to twist, rack and 'break the branches or to detach the fruit, as they do where the 'branches aspire, and are exposed. A writer on this subject says : " The trees will he much longer lived, more prolific, beautiful and-=profits= ble. They are more easily rid of destruc tive insects, the fruit, is much less,damaged by'falling, and the facilities forgathering it are much greater; there- is less danger in clikabing, and less' danger of breaking the limbs. The trees require less pruning, scraping and Washing—if the two latter are thought necessary, and the - roots are pro tected from the scourge of the plow, which is too often allowed to tear and mutilate them. The proper shape for fruit trees is that of an umbrella reversed. When this shape is communicated by pruning, the foliage is more freely exposed to the action of the solar rays, and to the air, which -ought.al ways to have a free circulation among the foliage and fruit. By communicating a conical form to any tree, although it may be rather more graceful and elegant in its effects upon a landscape, we certainly in jure it in many ways, if looked upon as an object of profit. The fruit of apple trees which grows on the interior limbs, where the surrounding foliage and branches pre vent the sun's rays from penetrating, and where the direct influences of heat are never felt, is, to a 'certain extent, insipid ; it does not mature thoroughly, and will not; keep so long or so perfectly as that which grows on the outside branches,,exposed to the sun and wind. It also varies so much in shape—and, especially, in color—that we have known two plates of apples, se lected from the same Baldwin tree, one of .which was pronounced by a skillful fruit &r , ower to be the Baldwin, and tbe other pate another variety 1 New-England Farmer. Cattle. Cattle of all kinds enjoy themselves and thrive better in th 3 fields, at this season, than in close barns. Good cow yards fac ing East or South, with barns or sheds on the North and West, to shelter from storms, are more proper for all kinds of cattle, till very cold weather comee, than very tight barns. They lie down.and they rise with more' ease than when tied to staunchions; and their udders, ate alWays cleaner when they can choose their own beds. But above , all other considerationa of profit, let cattle of all ages and races have a chance to .get a good-share of the ~free at- . mosphere which our Creator,, in his Wis dom, has supplied to us without stint or measure. - No - subititute, of reart's invention, can be compared with the fresh breezes which are continually moving around our planet. And When man attempts to Make improve ments on the atmosphere, "he soars above his reach;" and' soon finds that he was never required to meddle with elements al; ready inade perfect for his use. The attempt of "cute" farmers to keep their cows too warm for their 'health,' in order to squeeze out a little more Milk, in'cool weather May not end in clear : profit', , For animals cannot' live long, in a healthy' state, Without Cfull supply of the oiygen which the air wafts to the lungs, and thus corrects the 'blood. • Mr. Piene,iy; of `,Belmont Belmont,: is now fully satisfied that *his tight barn increased the fever which his cows 'contracted on Ship board- Where they had not room io breathe freely. _ , Old Horses.
