Christ's kingdom Oh earth has thrown around
it the sacred sanction of its holy religion
1t has even ordained and baptised it in the
name and by the authority Of the founder of
that religion. And in the precincts Of that
church the monster finds his strongest hold.
Beneath the droppings Of the holy sanctuary
he finds his safest retreat. If his citadel is
attacked or his character assailed, he has but
to fly to the horns of the altar, and a thousand
priests, with their bibles in their hands, stand
forth in his defense. Thus surrounded and
supported, thus shielded and protected, he
bids defiance to our efforts. The war-god
yet slakes his savage thirst in human gore.
Nation yet rises against nation-men still
delight to imbrue their hands in the blood of
their brothers. The roar of the cannon and
the ~clashing Of the sword, mingled with the
groans Of the dying-ihe wailing of the
widow and the cries Of the orphan may yet
be hoard all over the world. The blood Of
the race yet flows like water, in warm c~opious
libations at the shrine of military ambition.
Poverty, like the deadly Upas, yet casts its
portion of mankind are yet struggling for a
bare existence, toiling only to live and living
only TO die. Thousands are actually perish
ing for want, and starving in the midst of
plenty which their own hands have produce
ed, while another and more favored class
revel in unbounded luxury and wealth which
they never contributed to produce and which
they cannoteJjoy. Superstition, bigotry and
intolerance ye: roll their Juggernaut wheels
over society, crushing out every thing that
is noble and lovely in human character
While all these sources of misery remain, is
it for you to fold your arms in ~listless apathy
! and look with cold Indifference on what 9th
ers have accomplished ! 1t remains for you,
in common with the rising generation, to say
whether such enormities shall continue to be
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES humanity shall still be
goaded TO madness by its mistaken struggle
after happiness.
In conclusion I would say to you, young
ladies', | point you not to the gay and glitter
ing rounds Of h~eartless fashion | point you
not to the giddy scenes Of thoughtless plea
sure; | point you not to the bright butterfly
life which mistaken custom has awarded to
the mere favored Of your seX-much less
would | have you live a life Of drudgery and
toil-much less would ] have. you heartless,
soulless kitchen slaves, whose only mis-
sion is to labor and die. ] would have you
noble, intelligent and greal--bright ornaments
to your sex and an honor to our race. And
you, young gentlemen, ] point you not ii
presidential chairs; l point you not TO legis.
lative halls; ! point you not TO honors and
emolumenis Of Office, nor to The glittering
pomp Of wealth and splender. For you l
would reserve a higher and a nobler destiny.
| would have you the benelActors of man
kind. | would say TO you ali, may that hap
piness which is the reward of great and be-
n~evoleni actions be forever yours.

The Little Match Girl.
A CHRISTMAS STORY.
BY II. c. ANDERSON.

1t was terribly cold. 1t showed, and the
evening began TO be dark; it was also the
last evening in the year-New Years Eve.
On this dark, cold evening, ID pour little girl
went into the street with bare head and naked
feet. 1t is true she had shoes Oh when she
went from hOme-buto of what use were they !
They were very large sh0es-her mother had
worn them, they were SO large and the little
one lost thpm III hurrylng over the street as
two carriages passed quickly by. One shoe
was not to be found, aud the other a boy ran
away with, saying that he could use 1t for a
cradle when he had children himself.
The little girl now went on her small naked
feet, which were red and blue with cold
She carried Il number Of matches in an old
apron, and held one bundle in her hand. No
one had bought OF her the whole day-no
one had given her a fdrthing. Poor Thing !
she was hungry and benumbed with cold,
aud looked so downcast. The snow fakes
fell on heI yellow hair, which curIed so pref
uly round her neck, but she did not heed
that.
The light shone out from all the windows,
and there was such a deliciouS smell of roast
goose in the street! 1t was New Years
Eve, and she thought of that
She sat down In the corner between two
houses-the one stood a lille more forward
in the street than the other, and drew her
legs up under her TO warm herself, but still
she was cold, and she burst not 90 home, for
she had not sold any matches or got a single
farthing! Her father would beat her; and
it was also cold at home they had only the
roof directly over them-and there the wind
whisiled in, although straw and rags were
stuffed in The largest c~revices.
Her little hands were almost benumbed
with cold. All a little match might do
some good, burst she only draw one out OF
the bundles, strike it on the wall and warm
her fingers. She drew one out, rich! how
il burnt! it was a warm, clear flame like that
of a little candle, when she held her hand
round tit was a strange light!
The liule girl thought she sat before a
large iron stove with brass balls on the top
the fire burnt SO nicely and warmed so well
Nay, what was that? The little girl stretch
ed out her feet to warm them too, then the
flame went out, the stove vanished she sal
with a stump Of the burnt match in her hand
Another was struck it burnt, it shone; and
when the light CLEANED upon the wall, II
became as transparent aS Grape she looked
directly into the room where the roasted
goose stuffed with apples and prunes seemed
so temptingly oil the table which was laid
out and covered with a shining white cloth
with porcelain service. What was still mort
splendid, the goose sprung of the dish and
Waddled along the floor with knife and ioIl
In iis bacij it came Obesity sP 10 the poo

I've watched too late; the morn is near;
One look at Gods broad. silent sky!
Oh. hopes and wishes vainly dear,
How in your very strength ye die!
Even while the glow is on your cheek,
And scarce the high pursuit begun,
The heart grows faint, the hand grows weak,
The task of life is left undone.
See where upon the horizons hrim
Lies the still cloud in gloomy bars;
The waning moon, all pale and dim,
Goes up amid the eternal stars.
Late. in a flood of tender light
She foaied through the ETHEREAL blue,
A softer sun, that shone all night
Upon the gathering beads Of dew.
And still ihoh wanest. pallid moon!
The encroaching shadow grows apace;
Heavens everlasting watchers soon
Shall see the blotled from thy place.
Oh. Nights dethroned and crownless queen!
Well may thy sad, expiring ray
Be shed on those whose eyes have seen
Hopes glorious visions fade away.
Shine thou for forms that once were bright,
For sages in the minds eclipse,
For those whose words were spells of might,
But falier now on stammering lips!
In thy decaying beam there lies
Full many a grave on hill and plain,
OF those who closed their dying eyes
In grief that they had lived Ia vain.
Another night, and thou among
The spheres Of Heaven shall cease 10
shine,
AL ra5less IN the glittefing throng
Whose iustte late was qaenched In thine.
Yet soon a new and tender Hett
From but thy dafkeued orb shah beasn,
Aod broeaea I'LL il shiass ali eisht

Maddened by Earth's wrong and evil,

And, in silence, smooth faced Mammon

Stays their growth Of crime.

Were there strong temptations planted
In thy path of life

From one fountain. clear and free,

Kissing them with lips still sweet;

Stagnates at their feet.

Hidden faults and follies known,
Be thou, in rebuking evil,
Conscious Of thine own.

To thy lips her trumpe, set,
But with harsher blasts shall mingle
Wailings of regret"
Cease not, Voice Of holy speaking,
Teacher sent Of God, be near,
Whispering through the days cool silence
Let my spirit hear!
So. when thoughts Of evil doors
Waken scorn or hatred move,
Shall a mournful fellow-feeling
Temper all with love.

She struck another match. Then she SAT
under the most charming Christmas tree-it
was still larger and more ornamented than
she had seen through the glass door al tho

sand candles burnt in the green branchesi

But the little girl sat in the corner by the
house, in the cold morning hour, with red
cheeks. and with a smile round her mouth

the old year.

corpse as it sat with the matches Of which n

her old grandmother into New Years Joys.
