90, OF the tender. weeping child is made the
cal'ous, heartless man--of the ali believing child
the snee,ing sksptic--ofthe beautiful and modes,
the shameless and abandoned-and that is what
The portd does for the little one.
There was a time when the Dipine One stood
on earth, and little children sought to draw near
to him. But harsh human beings stood between
him and them, forbidding their approach. All!
has 1t not been always so? Do no, even we,
with our hard and unsubdned feelings-our
worldly and unscrptural habits and maxims-
stand like dark screen between our little child
and It's Saviour. and keep, even from the choice
BUD oil our hearts, the sweet radiance which
might unfold 1t for paradise? Suffer little
chidIen To come unto me, and forbid them not, ,
Is still the voice of the Son of God but the cold
world stu closes around and forbids. When of
od, the disciples would question their Lord of
me higher mysteries of his kingdom. he took a
llttle child and set him in the midst as SIGN of
him who should be greatest in Heaven. That
gentle teacher still remains to u.s. By every
hearth and freside, Jesus still SETS the little child
IN The midst Of usi
Noudst thou know. o parent, what is that
Ja,th which unlocks Heaven! Go not to wrang-
ling PoemIcs, or creeds and forms of theology
bnt draw to thy bosom thy little one. and read in
that clear, trusting eye the lesson of eternal life
BE only To thy God, as thy child is to thee. and
all IS done Blessed shalt thou be, indeed
when a little child shall lead Mee!'

An editor in Indiana has journeyman who is
quiz, a wit, poet, an orator-a man who is I'D
10 every thing under the sun. In the summer,
when business is dull, and news becomes scarce,
the editor has nothing to do but RING the bell for
his journeyman. Tom" says he, :" want a
speech TO day-halfa column, done up bro1Orl -
Ill fix it sir" replies Tom, who proceeds forth
with TO case, and, without copy or previous pre-
paration, sets up an admirable speech, purporting
to have been delivered by some crack orator be-
fore the last public meeting. If necessary, Tom
makes wood cut. representing the orator in one
of his happest fights. The speech takes like
wild fire, and is considered splendid effort Of
genius Occasionally Tom is called on to grace
the editorial chair. " Tom, | shall be absent for
couple Of weeks--keep up the steam" 4" Yes,

along like locomotive Sometimes Tom is re-
quested to- knock the argument of political oppo-

said than done. Tom goes to his case, with dire
Indignation upon his brow, and sets up perfect

and purposes. In addition all these qualifications,
Tom does all the pugllistic business of the estab

THE DEATH OF PAN.
BY ELIZABETH J. EAMEs.

1t is stated by Plutarch, that in the reign of
Tiberius. supernatural voice was heard near
the Echinades, which exclaimed that the Great
Pan was dead.
From the Ionian Sea a voice came sighing-
voice oil mourniul sweetness and strange pow
Borne the accented breeze when day was diving.
Through fair Arcadia's sylvan groves and bow
Along her thousand sunny color'd rills-
Her larry pcopled wales, and haunted fountains;--
Along her glcne, and grots, and antique hills
Ana Ger her vnc-hung, purple tinted noun
Was heard that piercing, haunting voice, which
said,
The God of Song the once great Pan, is dead.
The old Silent in their sparry caves:
The Fauns, and Wood-nymphs in their green
The lovely Maids by the whispering waves;
The Oriads, through all their mount al n. pa sscs
WSpt when that voice thrill'd on tho silent air:
The stately shepherd, and the soft eyed maiden,
Who dwelt in Arcadia the fam'd and fair
Wept-for that moaning voice. with sorrow la.
Told that the Sylvan King with his CAV court.
Would join no more their song and green W God
sport.
Died nc in Thessaly, that land enchanted,
In Tempe's ever-ricb, roma ntic vale?
BY clear Peneus, whose classic tide is haunted?
Or did Olympus listen TO the vail
or all his satyrss Died he where
His infancy to SHOES care was given
When first. his flute tones melted on tin air,
And flPd with music Grecia's glorious heaven ?
Where many wild, and long remembered strain,
He pour'd for shepherdess and rustic swains
All yes he died in Arcadia, and never
Unto his favorite haunts did mirth return:
The voice of song was hush'd by wood, and river
Long did his children for his presence ycarn
But never more by old Alpheus's shore
was heard the song voice of the God of glad
His tuned reed its numbers pour'd no more
Where Dian and her Oriads rcvcd in sadness
Inc soul OF love and melody had fed
Far from Arcadia the great Pan was dead
