THE pIoUs CHILD AND THE INFIDEL.

In pleasant town of the Green Mount
ain State, lived Mr.. B. He had grown up
TO manhood, regardless of the duties he
owed his Maker, and the silver locks Of age
were beginning 10 appear, and his lettering
frame lo TOO we'll that his sun OF life was
fast going down. He hadxawelt alone
No wife or child had blessed him with their
smiles, or gladdened his weary heart with
their evening hymns. He communed with
nature, and sought the old forest trees for
MS companions, till they began TO answer
TO his voice, and to echo back his shoutings.
The Bible was book of fables to him
and having closed its lids, and spurned it
from his dwelling, the clear, bright stars
above, and the green earth and babbing
stream below, could not win his ear with
their whisperings of immortality. He be-
lieved death an eternal sleep.
At the distance Of about three miles, !
lived child, whose young heart gIowed |
with love to his fellows and 10 his Maker, |
TO whose service, at the age of nine years,
he had consecraled his life. He grew sad.
AT times the tear might be seen gathering
AID falling from his eye. At length he
told his pious mother Of The burden which
pressed so heavily upon him. He wanted
10 talk with the Infdel." He could rot be
persuaded it was not best to go. Alone
and sorfow(ul he sought the dwelling Of
the sceptic. He told him he felt as if he
wished 10 talk with him, and asked if he
believed in the existence of a God and in
he truth of the Bible2 The scepc an
swered with rude laugh and tauntine
eer; but the mind of the youth was re. {
ieved. He went home with light step, 6
and his heart beat freely, for he felt he had a
performed his duty. |
Time passed, and the old man lay upon .
lis dying couch. The a.onies of death
we're fast coming upon him, and yet it
eemed as if he could not die DAYS gIided

iill burned on. He wanted his friends 10

weary hours, which seemed so long, and

WlscoNslN.-It is said that 10000 emf
grants have arrived at Wisconsin this year
by way of the Lakes, and that the number
has been increased to 10000 by emigra-
ton through other routes. The farming
population of eastern Wisconsin, excluding
the inhabitants of villages, is computed to
be 65 or 10000. Milwaukee, whose Ioca-
lion upon the lake shore is about central,
has the trade of about half the country
alluded to. Racine, Southport and Wal
worth are the other principal places Of
trade.

this is quoted with comments, says: "But

paragraph, they quote from the Liberator,
