THE CHILDREN.

Beautiful the children's faces!
spite u all that mars and sears;
To my intnOst heart appealing;
Calling forth loves ronlerest feeling;
Sleeping all my soul with tears.
Eloquent the children's faces
Poverty's lean look, which saith,
Save Us save us woe surrounds us;
Little knowledge sore cenfounds us;
Life is but u lingering death
Give us light amid our darkness;
Let us know the good from ill:
Hate us not for all our blindness;
Love Us, lead us, show us kindness
You can make us what you will.
We are willing; we are ready;
We would learn, if you would teach;
We have hearts that yearn towards duty
We have minds alive to beauty;
Souls that any heights can reach;
Raise us by your christian knowledge;
Consecrate to man our powers;
Let us take our proper station;
We, the rising generation,
Let us stamp the age as ours!
We shall be what you shall make us:--
Make us wise, ana make us gOOG
Make us strong for time of trial;
Teach us temperance, self denial,
Patience, kindness, fortitude
Look into our childish faces;
See you not our willing hearts?
Only love us-only lead US;
Only let us know you need us,
And we all will do cur parts.
We are thousands-many thousands!
Every day our ranks Increase;
Let us march beneath your banner,
We the legion of true honor,
Combating for love and peace!
Train us try us days slide onward,
They can meier be ours again:
Save us, save from our undoing
Save from ignorance and ruin;
Make us worthy to be MEN!
Send us to our weeping mothers,
Angel stamped i'll heart and brow
We may be our fathers teachers:
We may be the mighticst preachers,
In the day that dawncth now!
Such the children's mute appealing;
All my inmost soul was stirred;
And my heart was bowed with sadness,
When a cry, like summers gladness,
Said, The children's prayer is heard ~

Life hath many lessons, many
Are the precepts She doth teach,
And we read them as we wander
Ger Times smooth and rugged beach.
Every shell and every pebble
That we meet upon the shore,
Add Il mite unto the volume
OF the hearts most treasured lore.
Every cloud that casts its shadow
Down upon the glitterinT sInds,
Every breeze that lnmmurS DER US
From the distant ocean lauds;-
Every song or sound that cometh
From the never Idle wave,
To the heart lesson rcadoth,
And we bear it to the grave.
From the earliest dawn of childhood
To the latest hour Of age,
Wiser grow we as we wander
Ga our earthly pilgrimage.

Mr.. EDITOR: The following piece of

ter High School, which was produced on the
occasion of the annual examination, | cut from
the Christian Citizen. | think your readers
will be satisfied, on a perusal Of the article,
that the praise was not unmerited, and led to

been in the study of her Mental Habitation !;

deavoring to bring my scattered thoughts in

We give place to the greater part of an interest
ing article upon the subject of Gen. TAYLOR $
movements from the American Flag of the I'd
instant. The belief has been assiduously propaga-
ted in various influential quarters FOR 'mofths, that
Gen. Taylor was TO move upon San Luis Potosi.
From various statements from time 10 time made in
the Union, the country has been led to believe that
Gen. Taylor has had, or shortly would have forces
adequate TO commence his march; while letters
from Gen. Scott and his army for the army of Gen.
Taylor are addressed I" Headquarters Gen Tay.
lor's Army, San Luis Potosi." 1t will not be
long before we shall hear reprosches cast upon the
hero of Buena Vista for his inactivity. 1t is
the purpose of the writer of the following article
from the Flag TO show that it is beyond the power
OF Gen. Taylor TO move upon San Luis, even il
the Government should divert more of the troops
ostensiby intended for him. The article will com
mend itself TO all fair-minded men:
FACTS AGAINST FrcTIos.-Mos of readers have nc
doubt notced from the tone OF the public prints in the Uni
ted States, that vague impression prevail thai
Gen. TAYLOR either already occupies Luis Potos
marching on that city.
In connexion with this state of public opinion article in
the Washington Union should be considered from which
will require but little ingenuity discover a origin
for both the paragraph and the and ingenuity at all

This information purports come from the Adjutant
Generals Office, and, if So only proves that the Aduan
Generals arithmetic is sadly fault, else rulers
Washington have such extraordinary opinion OF General
Tayors nvincbty suppose him capable of crossing
deserts and orming batteries with paper men, fresh from the
mandatory of Roger Jones, Marcy & Co.
Now, the truth is fortunately, very easy at. and
hope the fact and the fiction will least be allowed to
travel together the Federal city, albeit the risk Of
invading the sanctuary of the above firm
But four regiments of the late ten have been allotted to
