at would be u sin indeed not to he good
and happy here" said Mary, as she sa, down
with her husband in their new home. after
having taken minute survey Of the whole
premises.
81, would indeed" replied Harry, look

more proudly still upon the beaming face OF
his wife, land il shall not he nv fault,
Mary, Il we are not good you are sure 10
be, and think am sure-that shall be
TOO. | am very glad now that did not
take the pledge; for feel that though ii is
such a good thing. II is better to do without
il if we can. have great deal better
opinion of myself, by trusting TO my own
good resolution, and know it is a good
thing to have a good opinion OF ones self !;
for when used to think myself bad, | used
to feel as il didn't care what bad things
did. ] need not take to myself any great
credit, though, on the score of my good
resolution; for what temptation can have
TO GO and drink with such home as this to
come to ?"
IL was indeed pretty place that they
had chosen for their home. il was a small
matched cottage, containing three rooms
IA kitchen, with a room behind which was
called the parlor, though il had only a sand
ed floor, with bedroom above, which Ma
~ had declared looked quite spacious and
airy, notwithstanding the low ceiling. IL
was an humble enough abode. but every
thing within was so bright aud clean and
neat, and everything without was so fresh
and beautiful. that il seemed TO the newly
married pair quite luxurious. II looked out
upon the extensive nursery gardens of which
Harry was one Of the gardeners aud they
had little plot Of garden ground to their
own cottage, in which the hourishing and
choice flowers. growing in small beds on
the well kept gFass-plot, gave evidence Of
Henry's skill in his business. Roses and
honey -suckles crept over the pretty porch,
and roses and honey snckleS crept up The
cottage wall, aud peeped in a, the little

his pride as he sat for the first time al his
own ireside, with his wife beside him, no
wonder tina, he felt as IL he could never
again give way to his besetting sin. We
shall see how he went on.
Day after day, week aher week, month
after month passed away, and Harry's hap.
piness and comfort in his home, seemed TO
increase with eachday aud week and month.
His gardening work was always sweeiened
by the Thoughts Of the hour when'i, should
he over, and he should go home 10 be with
the dear wife who seemed TO grow dearer
IN him than ever. He thought she grew
handsomer, too, every day and indeed,
Mary did look quite beautiful. in her pretty
light colored print dresses. fitting so neatly
her neat figure. with her hair always so
shining and so smoothly braided, and her
skin always glowing ndpolished with health
and cleanliness. Then she always did
everything so clcyerly. and so quietly too,
that she never seemed to have anything al

Mary looked very grave, and she remain
ed for long time silent. There was some
thing IN the bearing Of the young man, IN
his frank, honest confession, which made
her think that she might indeed learlessl,
trust him-but she must be cautious. A,

would be we'll.
Mary did think deeply and very seriously
on the subject, and she also told her father
everything that had occurred between her
aud Harry. The farner. like a sensible
man, did not at once forbid any further in
iercourse between his daughter and the
yonng gardener, notwithstanding the very
harsh design nation he had given the latter.
But he caused strict inquiries as TO his char

lived, aud they were so satisfactory, with

The Child's Inquiry.

CAifd How big was Alexander, pa.
That people call him GRFArl
Was he like old Goliath tall
His spear an hundred weight?
Was he so large that he could stand
Like some tall stecplc high
And while his feet were on the ground,
Ills hands could touch the sky
tataer Oh, no my child; about as large
AS !, or uncle James.
Twas not his stature made him great
But greatness Of his name.
ch'id His name so great know lis long,
But easy quite to SPELL
And more than half a year ago,
knew it very well.
Fdther. mean, my child, his actions were
SO great, he got a name
And every body speaks with praise,
And tells about his fame.
Child Well, what great actions did he do
want to know il all.
fdtAsT. Why, he il was that conquered Tyre,
And levelled down her wall
And thousands Of her people slew
And then to Persia went,
And fire and sword, on every side,
Through many a region sent.
A hundred conquered cities shone
With midnight burnings red,
And, strewcd DER many a battle-ground,
A thousand soldiers bled.
CAsid Did killing people make him great
Then why was Abel Young,
Who killed his neighbor training-day,
Put into Jail and hung
never heard them call him great.
td1aeT. All, that was not in war
And he who kills a sinsis man
His neighbors all aIbor.
Child Well, then, if should kill one man.
I'D kill a hundred more;
should be great, and not get hung,
Like Abel Young before.
FatheT. Not so, my child-'twill never do
The Gospel bids, be kind
Guild Then they that kill, and they that praise.
The Gospel do not mind.
Father. You know, my child, the Bible saws.
That you must always do
To other people as you wish
To have them do to you
Child Bat pa did Alexander wish
To have some strong men come,
And burn his house, and kill him too,
And do as he had done
Yet every body called him great,
For killing people 50
Well, now. what right hsd he TO kill,
should be glad TO knows
If one should burn the buildings here,
And kill the folks within,
Should any body call him great,
For such a wicked thing

SHOCKING FANATICIsM.-From the Paris
correspondence of the Boston Atlas, it appears
that deeds worthy of the darkest ages Of the
Church are still countenaneed by the Roman
Catholic clergy. A series of articles on the
Converts of Paris have appeared in the Consfi-
tutionei newspaper, and from a collection of an
ecdotes showing the discipline in vogue, the fol-
lowing is selected;
On Tuesday, D.. B. visited one of these nun
neries of women, to prescribe for one of the
nuns, and was shown into the cell in which the
patient was lying in bed. He questioned her
about her sickness, and the symptoms which she
felt She answered in a weak voice that moth
ing was the matter with her but her features
showed pain, and soon after her strength gave
way and she tainted The doctor fastened to
unfasten her dress, and partially opened it in
the endeavor to restore her consciousness but
judge the surprise he felt on seeing a crucifx
placed on the breast of the nun, with spikes,
which entered the flesh. He Immediately re-
moved this instrument of torture, but the nun,
on recovering from her fainting fit, put her hand
to her breast, and pereeiving that her crueifx
had disappeared, demanded il with loud cries,
declaring that she could not allow il to be taken
from her, for that she bore it in fnlflment of a
vow and of an act of penitence imposed on her
by her confessor. But the Dr.. asserting his
authority, declared he would oppose the contin-
uation of such maceration by all means in his
power The sick nun had not only her breast
torn and full of holes from the points with which
the cruci6x was covered, but her back showed
similar injuries. Il appears, in fact, that the
unhappy woman, thinking % conform with more
zeal to the inunctions Of her spiritual director,
and make more complete her penitence, lay
down every night, with the erucifx placed point
upwards, between her two shoulders, and so lay
on her back, Notwithstanding the horrible pain
she must have endured. DIR. Il. on leaving the
convent took the crucifx with him.

their way home from the battle-felds in Mexico
having had quite enough of gore and glory.
One Of them, a modest, sensible looking man.
