China or' India. You see also that it
both foolish and wicked to have idols—to
put any body or any thing in God's place
as our first or chief object of love, obe
dience, and worship.
It is.loolish, because there: is nothing
that is ours to keep but God. If a watch,
or a gold eagle, or a beautiful casket, were
put in your hand to look at, as noon as you
learned it was yours to keep, how much
more you would value and enjoy it. Now
an idol can never , be kept, worship it as
much as we may. Money is lost; children
die; beauty hides; appetite fails. Every
object which we love, everything which we
trust in for help and enjoyment will cer
tainly go,fi•om us, or We shall leave them.
We cannot keep them, nor can they keep
us. But if God is our God, our support,
our joy, our treasure, our chief good,
nothing can separate us from him—nothing
in life, nothing in death, nothing in.
eternity.
It is wicked also to have idols, because it
robs God: It robs God of our love, of our
gratitude, of our worship, of our loyalty,
of our service. We take what is due to
him and squander it elsewhere. There is
a verse which tells us what to do with our
idols. 1 dare say you have often repeated
the hymn. What does it say ? ,
"The dearest idel I have known,
WVhate'er that idol he,
- Help me to tear it from_thy throne,
And idrehip only thee."
't Go penitently to Jesus, and ask him to
teach you and to help you love him with
...your whole leart—better than any body or
~t a nythiug• else in all the world beside.—
arChild's Paper
The Angry
A very sad thing happened the other day.
A little girl got angry-with her bootstrings.
When , she went -to -put on her soot .she
found a hard knot, which she jerked and
-utitila,becairie herder.,
"No matter," said her .mother, ..",put on
your shoes."
"I'hate my shoes," she answered an
b
crrily. "I shall wear my boots; " and away
she tugged at the knot.
As knots never yield to violent treat
ment, the child made no headway. She
then caught the • scissors, cut the strings,
and cut a great gash in the boot too.
" Oh, my child; you did not' do that on
purpose did you?" said her mother.
" did it on purpose;* the hate
ful old boot.!" she cried, the veins of her
forehead•swollen with, anger.
; Breakfast. was ready, and ,her mother,
well knowing that was not the moment to
correct her, left Bessie alone. Bessie did
not appear at breakfast. After breakfast
came morning worship.
" Where is Bessie?! asked Uncle Charles.•
Uncle Charles learning - what- the diffi
culty was, went ^to bring Bessie; for he
hoped by this time the little girl had come
to herself. She received him with a sullen
scowl.. And whit do you think she said?
"Get out!:get out!'
Unele Charles was surprised. Was this
his pretty, little Bessie ! It was—and it
wasn't. Oh lif she had only yielded.
He left her, for the family was waiting,
and they knelt around, the family, altar,
without her. Bessie edgediout to the back
door. Her brother James came along.
"Oh, Bessie !" he cried, " how . ian you be
have so? You worry mother almost to
death, and are enough to disgrace Us all."
Bessie's eyes flashed. Quick as light=
ning, she gave hint one push, and down- he
fell a flight of steps.
"Oh I" he screamed.' What a scene of
confusion and distress followed I
The bad temper of a child hardly ever
did a worse rnorning-'s work than that.
Yet it is just what bad temper leads to.
It makes a child unfilial; to the best of
parents, unkind to its brothers and sisters,
selfish, cruel, and destructive. If you do
not master it, it will surely master you; and
bad temper is a terrible master:--Child' at

The Era of Great Gans.
For the serious work of :sieges, says the
North American, heavy artillery has in the
present Ainericani war, reached>a'size and
calibre sufficiently important to mark an
era. One-hundred-pounders are now found
on both sides in all these cases. Practice
shows them to be terrible weapong, breach
ing formidable walls ,at unprecedented dis
tances, in a very-brief space of time. Im
portant as this advance is, however we are
now in the midst of a still greater. Fifty
new fifteen-inch Dahlgren guns . have been
ordered by the Government, and are now
being cast •at Pittsburgh, each of which
will carry a ball weighing 'over three hun
dred pounds: One thirteen-inch gun and
one fifteen have been mounted in the works
at Fortress Monroe, and tested with per-,
feet success. The rebels, too, seem to have
a thirteen-inch gun, whichthey are-said to
have placed' in the /Merrimac. Ins. addi
tion .to the Dahlgren fifteen-inch guns, we
are also casting Rodman fifteen-inch guns
and Rodman twenty-inch 'guns, and when
these get into use the war of our artillery
will indeed be terrific. The mostimpor
tant fact connected with this new era of
great artillery is, that no fortifications area
of the least use against such - weapons:
Not only can they breach walls of any,
'thickness, unless made of iron, but, as was
shown in the case of Fort Pulaski, even
when placed at extraordinary distances.
iltis now no longer necessary to get within
eight hundred - , - yards ;to .opeii4 breach, for
guns which carry from five to seven .miles
can breach luta° -.distance:of two.. R. -
The London TiMes, containit an account
of experiments at• Shoeburynws on Tues
day, with ,a gun or large .size and , 'Calibre,
which, (says the fiimes,) "showed at. every
discharge that our best and hitherto-con—
sidered. iniulnerable forms of iron-sides

" After all our labor and all our expense,
after having made beyond - comparison the
finest and strongest iron frigates in the
world, we now find' that;opposite, a large
mazzle.loading,gun, the best of our iron
sides can .be as easily lidflled and sunk as
wooden sailing vessels.
" This discovery, made only on Tuesday

"During an experiment, not long ago,.a
target, exactly of the same materials. and
strength as the Warrior's broadside, was
subjected during the. whole of one day and
part of a second, to a most treniendeus ire,
but the concentrated volleys flew off in a
hail of iron splinters. The target grew al
most red hot in parts; but no missile pass
ed beyond its iron armor.
" The Warrior, therefore, and iron ships
were justly deemed invulnerable. Sir W.

completely;his. persecutor had .beeze in his
power. Stealing noiselessly into Saul's
camp,. accompanied .by a single ;follower,
and passing unobserved through the. midst
of the droway guards. "David " took the
spear and the cruse of water from Saul's
bolster; and 'they got them- away,, andno
man saw it, nor knevi it, neither awaked;
for they were all asleep." (1. Sam_ xxvi
12.) Having performed this daring ex
ploit, hp,and his attendant,,Abishai, ‘.‘ went
over to the other side, andstoed on the; top ;
of a hill afar off, a great space being be
tween them." Having got to this Safe dial"
tance from his relentless
„,eneiny, David is
represented in the sacred itistory as pro
ceeding to address Abner, the leader of
Saul's host, and to taunt him with his un
soldier-like want of vigilance.in leaving his
royal master exposed to the hazard'of being
slain in the very.midst of 'his own•camp. -
What is apt to appear strange in this' nar
rative is the fact; that' these hostile' parties ;
should have been near enough to carry on the
conversation whiela the narrative describes
and yet that, all• the while the one should;
have been entirely beyond the reach of the
other. That •this,• however, Was both
possible and easy, was' verified' in oar pres=
ence.. As Ave were riding cautiously •along

on. Another and another .sentence was

distinctly given. At length, guided by the
sound, we descried, far up the confronting

person! , Of•an other shepherd ; • and learned.
from our Arab attendants, that they were.
talking to each other about their flocks.
