GOD SEEN IN ALL HIS WORKS
TALE FROM THE GERMA.

In that beautiful part of Germany which bor-
ders OH the Rhine, there is noble castle which
as you travel on the western bank of the river,
you may see lifting its ancient towers on the OPP
posite side, above the grove of trees about as old
as ITSELF
About forty years ago there lived in that cas-
tie noble gentleman whom we shall call Baron
--. He had only one son, who was not on
y comfort to his father, but blessing to all
who lived on his fathers land.
1t happened on certain occasion that this
young man being from home, there came French
gentleman 10 see the castle, who began to talk o
his Heavenly Father in terms that chilled the old
mans blood; on which the Baron reproved him
Saying: "Are you not afraid of offending God,
who reigns above,by speaking in such mannerg
| The gentleman said he knew nothing about God
for he had never seen him. The Baron this time
did not notice what the gentleman said, but the
next morning took him about his castle grounds
and took occasion first TO show him very beau
Itllul picture that hung on the wall. The gen.
tleman admired the picture very much, and said
"whoever drew this picture knows very we'll how
to use the pencil"
"My son drew that pictures" said the Baron
"Fhen your son is clever man." replied the
Igenleman
The Baron then went with his visitor into the
garden, and showed him many beautiful flowers
and plantations Of forest tress.
"Who has the ordering of this gardenS" asked
the gentleman.
"My SON." replied the Baron, ''he knows eve.

"Indeed," said the gentleman, 81 shall think
very highly Of him soon"
The Baron then took him into the village and
showed him small, neat cottage, where his son
had established a school, and where he caused

GOOD BYE"

Farewell! farewell! is often heard
From the lips of those who part;
'Iis whispered tone-'tis gentle word,
But it springs not from the heart
1t may serve for the lovers closing lay,
To be sung meath a summers sky;
But give me the lips that say
The honest words-'Good byen
Adieu! adieu! may greet the ear,
In the guise of courty speech;
But when we leave the kind and dear,
'Tis not what the soul would teach.
Wheneerwe grasp the hands of those
would have forever nigh,
The flame of friendship bursts and glows
In the warm, frank words-"Good bye"
The mother sending forth her child
To meet with cares and strife,
Breathes thro' her tears, her doubts and fears,
For tho loved one's future life.
No cold "adieu,n no 6 farewell" lives
Within her closing sigh;
But the deepest sob Of anguish gives.
God bless thee boy Good byen'
Go watch the pale and dying one,
When the glance has lost its beam
When the brow is cold as the marble stone,
And the world passing dream
And the latest pressure of the hand,
The look of the closing eye,
Yield what the heart must understand,
A long--a last s. Good bye!"

The Danish East Indies.

Denmark, after having possessed these terrific
rles for more than 200 years, has sold out to the
English East India Company. They embrace
the town of Serampore, on the river IIagll in the
Bay of Bengal, now Calcutta, and the town and
district Of Trankebar. Serampore is town of
$4,000 inhabitants, well built in the European
style; and it has been hitherto the residence Of
the Governor-G General of the Danish possession
of the Indies. 1t is pleasantly situated, and the
necessares of life being cheap there, If is much
resorted to by many English families, as pre-
lerable residence to Calcutta. Formerly, du.
ring the long war between Great Britain and the
French, as neutral port, it enjoyed great ad-
vantages for commerce, and it became extreme
y rich. The advantages of this distinction il
has been for long time deprived of, and by the
present transfer of its flag, it will of course, be
permanently lost, if there was before any pros
pects of IFS being revived. 1t has been for ma
ny years the principal seat of the Baptist Mission
aries in the East, and of great establishment
for the printing of the Scriptures in all the Ian
guages of the East. Trankebar is situated on
the coast of Coromandel, in the kingdom of
Tanjore. 1t consists of small territory for
which the Danes have paid, to the Rajah of Tan
