" Mamma, won't you please tell us. a story,just one," pleaded little Harry Sey. 7 mour, one Sunday evening. " Yes, mamma, please do—just' one," echoed another voice.., "It is too dark to read, and not quite time to light the gas ; " and little Clara, climbing up to her favorite seat on mamma's lap, sealed her petition with a kiss. Unable to resist the earnest pleaders, Mrs. Seymour commenced the following story, which she called " The Home Across the River : " "Once, on the bank of a broad river, there lived two children, a little girl and a boy. Neither of them had ever seen their father, who dwelt on the other side, but they knew he loved them dearly,,for`:_a long let ter sent from him had described the beau tiful home he was preparing for them in a bright city across the .river;. whose streets were gold, whose gates were pearl, a city where their Father reigned as k King: Now, although the children had not done any.. thing nor could do anything to deserve so glorious a kingdom, there was something for them to do before they could live in that beautiful home: The letter which their Father had sent, must be answered. They must thank him for the home he was preparing—ask that it might be given to' them, and then strive to increase in love toward their Father, and each other day by day. Moredver, the letter told them that, in a little while, perhaps before another - sunset, a messenger would cross the river to take one of the children home. Happy would be the little one whom the ' messenger should summon, if he or she had fulfilled that Father's wishes, for the dark river would soon be crossed, and the Father would joyfully welcome his child to the beautiful home on the other side. Before the sun set, a snow white dove might have been seen winging his flight across the river, bearing an an swer from the little girl. In it she .thank ed -her Father for the beautiful home so freely offered, begged that it might be hers, promising to strive more earnestly, day by day, to grow in love, and every morning the dove would be sent by the child, bearing words of grateful love to that Father who had been so very kind. The little boy, however, delayed answer ing the letter, and when his sister begged him not to wait•• any longer, for fear he might be summoned home, his reply would be, 'Not to-day, wait till to-morrow, the messenger will not come for us so soon. " One evening, just as the sun was set ting, a boat was seen approaching the shore. The children knew that it came from the land across the rifer, and joy beamed in the little girl's eyes as the mes senger turning toward her, said : ' I have come for you. Are you ready?' , Oh, yes; I have been waiting. lam ready to go home,' was her reply. "But tears stood in the eyes of the oth er child, for he knew that everything would seem so very desolate without his darling sister, and then the thought flashed to his mind : if the messenger had come for me, my reply could not have been like hers : "Kiss me, good-by, darling brother,' said the child; am going home to my Father, so do not cry; but, oh ! remember before another sunset the messenger may come for you.' " Thus saying, the child entered the boat, and watched it glide from the shore. The last sun-ray had vanished, and the lit tle one trembled as she looked upon the water. It was very deep, so dark, and seemed so cold; but suddenly the river seemed glorious with light, and looking up, the child saw it was radiance reflected from the brightness of that , -home on the other side. Sean the little one was wel comed by that Father whom she already loved so well. Soon a bright crown shone on her brow, and in that glorious kingdom she reigned forever." After Mrs. Seymour ceased speaking, there was silence for some time, and then Harry exclaimed: " You did not end about the little boy, mamma; did he never reach home?" "The Messenger came soon after, and found him also ready," was the reply. " I know the beautiful home across the river is heaven," said Clara; " and God was the little children's Father; but what was the letter and who was the messenger, mamma•?" " The messenger was Death, and their Father's letter was the Bible. Am I not right, mamma ?" asked little Harry. "Yes, darling," replied his mother, "and the letters sent every night and morning were prayers, while the stream that had to be crossed „Was the river of death." " And the letter that I wrote, was not that a prayer to God from Heaven?" asked glare, timidly. " My little daughter is right," said Mrs. Seymour, "and I only trust that my children will be always ready to go home.' Have you answered the loving letter written - you in the Bible? Do not say "I will to-morrow." The messenger may come for you before another sunset. Go to that loving - SatriOur now. Ask him to take away your sinful heart, to prepare you for that bright home in heaven, then strive more earnestly each day to be like him. Then, whenever God's messenger shall come, he will find you ready. Ready to go home.—New-York Observer. Shiette and Julie. These two French girls had been -neigh bors and companions from Childhood. As they grew .up they became more closely attached to each other. They were like twin sisters, for they were born-in the same month of the same year; and their tastes were so alike that they pould easily agree to dress in the same manner. Only in one' thing did they differ---Susette wore some thing round her neck which Julie did not. What was it ? It was a string of black jet beads with a cross at the end of it. The parents of these girls were honest and industrious people living next door to each other; - but-the2sients of Buie* were Papis't's;(ftbitaireatraliOTarkdirerparrenti PRESBYTERIAN BA' N E U .RD AY, AUGUST 16, 1862. of Julio were Protestants. But they were good-natured people, and did not vex each other about religious matters as' some peo ple are fond of doing. One family went to the great church where the priest per formed ceremonies which they could not understand, but in which they believed,• and the other went to a plain little church where the pastor prayed' and talked about things which .they could both understand and believe. Susette and Julie did not often talk about the things they saw or heard at their places of worship; but one day after they had gone together, each with a basket of clothes, and spread them to dry on, the green grass of the church-yard, Susette, who was full of admiration of what she - had seen and heard, said, " Oh, Julie dear, you should have been at our festiial yesterday and haVe seen and heard whit I did. You would, have been delighted." . " Indeed I" replied Julie, " Why what did yon see and hear? Tell m e:' And - so the conversation went on in this way:"` Susette.—Why ,we had . a grand proces sion, and grand singing, and priests in grand dresses, and grand candles, which made the grand pictures in the windows look grander still. It was altogether grand Julie.—l know your religion is a very grand religion, Susette, for you have told me so befbre. S.—Yes, it is. I wish youhad been with me yesterday. I wanted you to be there, but I did • not like to ask you; and yet I am sorry you did not see such grand' sights. You have nothing like them in your religion. J.—l know we have not. But we have what I like as well. S.—Have you ? What is it? J.—Oh I nothing grand-to look at, at all. S.—Well, if there is nothing grand to look at, I think it must be a poor, dull re ligion. What do you do ? J.—As you wish to know, I will tell you. We all go quietly to the little old church .and sit down. Then we all join to sing a hymn of prase to God. Then our pastor gives thanks 'and prays for us, all, and then he reads from the Bible, ana then he preaches about Jesus, who died to save us from our sins; and then we sing a song of praise to the Saviour; and come away. S.—And is that all ? J.—:Yes, that is all the, way we have. But the singing, and reading, and praying, are not always alike. They are different every time; but the preaching is always about Jesus. S.—And nothing about . the blessediVir gin ? We always pray to her to save us. J.—l know you do. But we do not: We pray to God,. through Jesus 'Christ. The Testament says that the mother of our Lord was " blessed and highly ;favored," but it .nowhere tells us to pray to her. , S.—How do you know, Julie ? J.—Because t have read it all through, and I am sure it_does not say, that .we are; and more thin that. it does not say that any one ever di e d pray to her. S.—Perhaps not in your'Testament. J.—Nor in your's, either. S.—Well, that E don't know; for the priest says , that I am not to have a. Testa- . ment yet, because there• are in 'it soine' things hard to be understood. 5.—1 don't know what he means, for I never read a more easy book in my life. It, is much easier than that book you lent me about Abelard and Heloise: 8.--But does it make you wonder as ranch ? I like a book that makes me won der. S.—Then let me tell you, SuSette, that the most wonderful things that the world has ever known are in the• Testament; and what is better still, they are all true. don't think you can say that of the strange tales told in that book of the loves of Abe, lard and Heloise. I think they are a couple of very silly people. S.—Oh, Julie, for shame;! you 'should not say so. Don't you know they were saints ? J.—l know you call them saints; but I think they were sinners, and very silly sin ners. The saints of the Testament were not like Abelard and. Heloise. S.—You tiresome little Huguenot! You would make me belieVe that you know more about such thing than our learned priests and doctors. Take up your basket and let us go. 1. If I hear you .talk much longer, you will make me a Huguenot 'too. J.—You began the talk, Susette, by_tell ing me of your grand doings at your grand church. But if you are afraid ofAllr„ing any longer; I an" willing to give over. - I. only wish my dear Susette would read her own Testament for herself, and then she would know that all I have told her is true. Come, one, kiss before we go, for we must yet be as good friends as ever. S.—With all my , heart, Julie 7 for I love you though you are such a heretic! The King's HearVs-Ease. A FABLE. There was once a king who.haxl a very beautiful 'garden, with grounds arranged with taste, to please the eye, to afford re freshing shade, retired walks, commanding views,-and thelielightfaHruits that could be procured. There was one superb old oak, so high and grand, that it could be seen for miles around. There Were roses and lilies, and flowering shrubs of every kind; in short, nothing was want ing to make it a most perfect spot: One day the king's head gardener came and ex claimed " 0 king, pray come and see what is the matter with your gardpn—eVerYthing is wilting, drooping' and'dying I" While he spoke, the other 'gardeners came running in, and all had the same story to tell. So the king wenrout, and there found all as they had said. He went up to the first grand old oak tree, :his pride and admira ' tion and said : "Why oak, what is' the matter with-you, that you are withering and dying away ?" 0 !" said the 0ak,."1. do n't think I am of any use, .I am so large and cumber some; I bear no fruit or flowers, and I take, up so much room ; and besides, my branches spread so wide and thick, that it is all dark and shadow under them, and no flowers or fruit can grow there. Now, if I were' a rose.busli; it would be worth while 'for I shouhrbeir Sleet flowers • or if I were a peach or a•peai tree, or 'even like' the grape=vine, I could bear you , fruit." , The king next went to - hit3'favorite`tose bush and said: ":.Well, rose-bush, =what is :the matter with ,you P Why are you so drooping ?" " Why," said the rose-bush, "°I am of no use ; I can. bear no fruit ; I have, nothing but flowcys. If ,I ..were an oak, like that one in the middle of the grounds, I should be of some Me ; for then I could shelter you, I could be seen for miles around, and be an honor to your garden ; but as it is, 1 might just as well die." The king then went to a grape-vine, ilo` longer elinging . to the' trellis and treeti, brit trailing sadly . OIL the'groAnd. attired ' ' " Grape-vine, what is the matter with you ? Why are you lying so dolefully on the ground ?", " , Ah !" said the vine, "you see what a poor, weak creature I am. Ido n't even hold up my own weight, but must cling to a tree or post. And what can 4 do ? neither give shade like the oak, nor bear, flowers like the shrubs. I always must depend for support upon something else, and surely I am of no use." On went the king, quite in despair to see his place going to destruction; and it grieved him to think that for all the kind care and attention he had lavished upon his garden, he was to be paid by murmuring and repining. But he -smidenly spied a little heart's-ease (a small flower,) low down on the mround, with its face turned up to him, looking as bright and smiling as pos sible. He stopped and said : " You dear little heart's-easel What makes you look so bright and blooming, when everYthing around you is withering away?" ".Why," said thdheart's-ease, "I thought you wanted me here; if you hall wanted an oak, you would have, planted an acorn; if you bad wanted roses, you would have set out a rose-bush; if you.had wanted grapes, you would have put in a grape-vine. .But I knew what you wanted of me was to be heart's ease; so I thought I would 'try to be the very best little heart's ease that ever I . could." - ' The Silly Fly. 0 you little silly f1y,. 0 There's a spider watching nigh ;- You will scion be in-his snare, Buzzing without heed or care. There! the little fly is caught By the spider; quick as thought: Lo, he binds and bites the fly; Silly creature, you must die. Careless children, like the fly, Do not think'when dancer's nigh; Mind not what they do or say, Thus tecoming .Satan's prey. Children thus .who learn to sin, Carelessly atTurst begin ; By the sin they soon arebdutd, Satan's prey they.thus are found.

These words reached the ears ofoMrs. Wilson, as , she came into the, parlor, one afternoon. She found her three children seated on the sofa; Anna, the eldest, try ing to amuse her younger brother and. sis ter. She had been telling them a story in her own wise way, of some good little girl, who was a great help to her mother; and was showing the exampleuf this excellent child,, for the benefit of Ella, when their mother came in. "Too little for what, Ella ? " asked Mrs. Wilson, pausing before the children. " I was telling her," said Anna, " the story of Katie Lee, and when I said she must be good, and , do as Katie did, she told .me she was too little?' "Little girls of four years are rather small ) )) said Mrs. Wilson, . 4 nut nip Ella is n't too little to be goodi'l hope." " But Katie was older than I, - I.',m mire," said Ella; "I can't do such things as she can." ' 1 ,, What things? " asked mamma. '" Why, bringing in the inilk-pitcherf I'M afraid I'd spill the. milk and then Su san would , say, Oh, you are a plague." Mrs. Wilson smiled, for: poor little Ella was called a.'" plague" very often. " If - you couldn't.bring the milk-pitch: er, darling, you could be useful in other ways," she said. Oh, no, I can't, I'm too little," per sisted Ella. Mrs. Wilson sat down and took the child upon her lap. " Now listento me you can pick up my ball when it rolls on the carpet, and. get papa's slippers, and fetch me a book, or m.y work-basket, can't Oil ?" " Yes, I can do those'," ' said 'Ella.

Words for Wives.' I believe the influence of ._a. wife to be always, for-good or for'evil, very decidedly. There is not a woman living, unless% Slur has forfeited all claim to her husband's re spect, but is making her markday by day upon his character.

Borne poor, cowardly souls think se and utter senseless cries against lier who, as a guardian angel, stands "between these and-their victim. I think the wife was given to supply man with certain things wanting in his own na ture, and in yielding to her judgment, her opinion, her desire—where these are on the side of truth and justice—he only fol rows out the leading, of Divine will. But though the s husband hide it or deny 'it, let the 'good wife be of gbod 'cheer. One thing, however, let her understand— Worrying, fretting, fault-finding, direct and freqnent harangues, ill-teMpered slurs, anything that looks like passion, suspicion,: or jealeusy, will do no good.

It is ceartainly not in good taste for a gentleman .to speak of his wife as his " lady," or to register their names upon the books of a hotel as "John Smith and lady," or to ask a friend " How is your lady ?" This is all fashionable vulgarity, and invariably betrays a. lack of cultiva tion. The term wife is far more beautiful and appropriate and refined, whatever may be said to the contrary. 'Suppose a lady were to say, instead of "-my husband, my gentle man,' or suppose we -were to speak of Mrs. Fitz Maurice and her gentleman." The thing would be absolutely - ludicrous, and its obverse is none the less so, if right fully considered.

A poor Arab was travelling in the desert, :when he wet with a spring of elear,swent, sparkling water. Accustomed as he was to brackish wells, to his simple mind it ap peared that such water—ae—this--was worthy of a monarch; and filling'his leathern bot tle from the spring, he 'determined to go and•pr9sent it to - the•caliph himself. The , poor man travelled a considerable distance before he reached the presence of his sovereign, and laid his humble offering at his feet. The caliph did not despise the little gift brought to him with so much trouble: - Ile ordered.some of the water to be poured into a cup,'drank it; and thank ing the Arab with a smile ' ordered him to be presented with a reward. The'courtiers around pressed foryvard, eager to taste of the wonderful water; but to the- surprise of all, the caliph forbade them to touch even a single drop- After the pcior Arab had quitted the royal presence with a light and joyful heart, the califitt tturned •to his courtiers, and thus exp,ain.ed the motives of his conduct : "During the travels of the Arab," said he, " the water in this leathern bottle had become impure and distasteful. But it was an offering of loVe, and as such I have re ceived it with , pleasure. But I well knew that had I suffered another to partake of it, he would not have concealed his disgust; and therefore I'forbade you to touch the draught, lest the heart of the poor .man should have been wounded."
