1t is strange, that when every body loves good
butter, and is wiling to pay for j., our farmers
wives and daughters do not take pains 10 make

we have poor butter generally, and we must
hold them responsible. Il is perfectly easy to

Good butter will always command good price

THE SLEEPING BAPTIZED.

Among the number of little children who were
brought or led to the altar for baptism saw one in
lis mothers arms that had fallen ASLEEP during the
prayer; AMI II did not wake when sprinkled vi was
carried away sleeping.
Babe with the sleeping brow and eye serene,
Borne to that altar for the holy rite
What knowesi thou of all this solemn scene?
And whittier has thy young spiri, winged its fight,
Has it not sought the Beng whence it came
Revealed in vision mid his shining host,
While thus on earth baptized into his name
Triune, OF Father, Son. and Holy Ghost?
There, with thine angel TO lehod his face
Dos thou not find him rnlify and seal
Our conservation in this sacred place,
While these cold drops thy forehead may not feel
Does not the dear Redeemer now enrol
Thy name within his book Of life and write
Thy final portion ransomed soul,
Eternal g DRY in til, world Of light?
What heavenly calm pervades thy tender breast,
And lovely features, cherub like that seem!
No Sob nor tlnl,erins pulse, belray> unrest
From pain, late sorrow, or ffighling dream.
So one, all peaceful clothed in nfnn, charms,
Thy Savior slept, the babe of Bethlehem;
And Jesus tenchlng folded in his arms
Such little ones thou, AMI blessed them
To him IN thy pure bud Of being given,
In faith and hope, with sacrament and prayer,
Lie, and walk through this world child of heaven
By grace and beauty leading many ,here
Then shalt thou lift thy voice and sweep the strings
or golden harp, niunet in sweet accord,
Where angels veil their faces with their wings,
While crying Holy holy TO the Lord!

THE HALF.UEARTED CHRIS TAN.

And the lesson TO be learned from such a
lation is there here of the heart of many besides
BALKAN! How probable is it that some of US
are even now entanged in his snare How
many live and die after his miserable pattern.
For what else is this character than that of
the half. heared Christian! lie, too, has great
gifts of God he has been grated into Christ's
body; the holy Spirit has been poured out on
him; he knows the blessedncss of serving God /;
he longs 10 die the death Of the righteous his
heart klndles as he hears Gods word, or takes
his place in the congregation Of lie faithful /;
and, like Balaam, he can speak well of the
things of God. Nay, 1t may be he goes even
further: he gives up something for God he is
not exactly what lie would be if he did not be-
lieve in God and Judgment he refuses some
Of the "fewards Of drvination :" he gives up
some honors, the qualification of some appeti,es,
some advantages, some ways of pleasing him
self, some opportunity Of shining or of rising in
the world, something which has attractions for
him, but which he cannot enjoy without going
directly counter 10 the will OF God; for him open
rebellion is not yet ripe.
Yet, in every such instance, he makes an un
willing and a partial sacrifice he keeps back
something he goes as near as he dares to sin ;
he wishes tina; he could go further; lie allows
some evil affection, some unholy passion. some
unlawful practice, 10 abide within his SOUL
lie is failing in his trial failing in such lutte
instances, perhaps, that he does no, know wha,

From the United States Gazette,
THE PfVNTER's DOOM.


THE PfVNTER's DOOM.
ny THOMAS MAC KELLER.
A printer weary and wan,
His face all MORALLY pale,
As he YEARLY ploddcd his homewald way,
Before the breaking of early day,
Broke out in bitter wall.
His voice was husky and low,
As though his lungs were gone;
And he couahd and aasp'd, and counh'd again,
And he pressed his hand on his heart in pain,
While thus his plain, run on:
GA world Of toll is this
1t hath no joy for me:
'Tis labor by day, and labor by night,
BY the light Of the sun, and by candle light
Labor continually
Some men have day Of rest,
But Sabbath for me is not:
I; is toll all the week, and toll on the day
That God has given to rest and 10 pray
Lo! this is the printers lot!
"When was boy" he said,
81 play'd on the hills Of green;
swan in the siream-l fishd in the brook
And blessed was to SIT and to look
Unfettcr'd on natures scene.
"For twenty sad years or more,
My life has worn away
In murky rooms of poisonous air,
When I've ycarn'd for n sight of the valleys fair,
And the light ofopen day.
Jan innocent prisoner doomd,
My heart is heavy within;
Oh, why should man unainled by guilt,
Who the blood of "a creature never hath split,
BE pent, like felon for sin?'
The printer then couehd and sighed
The stars were growing dim,
And he upwards glanced al the morning sky,
And lie my though, IT were good to die,
And death would be rest TO him.
His heart was tired OF beating,
lie prayed to The Lord above
To pity man whose heart had been riven
BY toll, for other mems interest given
And he wepi for His mercy and love.
He hed 10 his humble home:
His infant awokc To cry,
ooh, father! Oh, mother! I'm hungry for bread !
And the printer ovid down. with an aching head
On his Mary'> lap, to die.
Oh, We who have never known
The richness that's in n crust
When nothing is found on the desolae Shelf
And the sufferers pocket is empty ofpelf-
Receive my story TO trust
Say not in your careless scorn,
What boots this tale to you!
The rhymer who traces these roughly writ rhymes
Hath known of such sufferers in Other day times
And the main Of its rhyme is true.
Remember this holy truth
The man who aOof had stood
when n h~or, lar on h-niher for succor did GRAY,
And he stretched not n finger to bless and TO saw,
Is verify guilty of blood!

Marie was sitting anne in her chanlher.-
She had been weeping poor girl, and in her
lap lay her mothers miniature aud one of
Henry's letters. She had not heard from
him for months, and his silence was the dark
esi enigma that ever her young heart had
tried to solve. He could no, he dead-no,
no Like the wife of the gifted Raleigh,
she believed that
Living or dead he woud not iarry from her"
At this moment servant brought her a
letter and single glance told her il was from
Henry. A glad cry escaped her lps-she
hastily opened il and Instead of the warm
onlpourings of lovers heart, sh" read Hem
rvs confession of his guilt The servants
heard slriek. and when they came in they
found their mistress li,,lrss on the floor
For many weeks after Marie Dunbar vas
maniac, and when she recovered. her beauty
was like that of IA lilly which had been crush
ed by storm. With "A caln,ness that savo-
red not of earth, sh" announced her inten-
lion of quitting her place of birth forever
The old homestead was sold, and the SER
wants, many of whom had grown grey in the
service Of her family, crowded around her
with fearful eyes, as she hid them farewell.
Again, and Tor the last time, Marie knell
down upon her mothers grave. A prayer
akin to His bres,hed in the garden Of Geih-
