THE ELEVENTH COMMAND.
MENT

'Why, we thought that there were only ten
commandments excaim several.
You are mistaken, as we shall soon show
We will illustrate it by a true story, an actual
occurrence.
About one hundred years ago, there lived a
very good man in England, by the name Of Ush-
er. He was an archbishop in the church of
England; high office. But as he was very
humble man, it did not make him feel proud as it
does many others.
He had heard that good und Piousj minister
lived in Scotland, by the name of Rutherford
and he so much desired to see him, that he made
arrangements 10 60 several hundred miles for
that purpose. And when within shcrt distance
of the House, he put on some old ragged clothes
so as to appear like beggar. For he knew, if
Mr.. R. was really a good man, he would be
good to the poor.
He arrived there on Saturday event ng, and in
inquired if he could stay over Sunday. He was
told that he could
During the evening, Mrs. Rutherford examin-
ed her children and her hired people on the cat
echism and commandments. And she asked
the beggar man, as she supposed him to be,
how many commandments there were.
"Eleven," said he.
Mrs. Rutherford, like many others, supposed
that there were only ten of them. She told
her children how ignorant the poor old man was,
and that they ought to pity him, and be thank
ful that they knew SO much more than he ap-
peared to.
He was shown into sleeping room, directly
over Mr. Rutherford's study room. After being
there awhile, he began to pray. As all the good
love to pray, he became so engaged that Mr.. R.
overheard him, and went and listened at the door.
and was astonished at the earnesness and fer
vency of his prayer. He never before had heard
any one pray SO. And he concluded that it
must be the good bishop Usher, of whom he had
heard so much.
When he had ceased praying, he knocked at
the door; and when it was opened he inquired
; if fhe was bishop Usher.
: Yes was the reply.
'You must preach for rae to o.morrow,' said Mr.,
R.
Mr. Usher consented, on the condition, if il
could be SO arranged that Mrs. R. should moi
know it.
He accordingly roso early, went into the field
changed his clothes, came into the meeting.
house, and went into the pulpit and preached
from those words of Christ:
'Anew commandment glue ,tnto you, That
ye lOUe dne another"
In the course of his sermon he said "This is
the eleventh commandment" And Mrs. Ruth
erford was SO excited that she forgot herself and
exclaimed aloud" That is what the old man
said last night. This cannot be he."
Ever after she was satisfied that there were
eleven commandments; ten of which were Civ
en- by God to Moses, on Mount Sinai, about
1000 years ago-and the new one, or eleventh.
by Christ, when he was on earth over 1900
years ago.

MRS. OsGOoDs LAST POEM

MRS. OsGOoD'S LAST POEM
On the 9TH of May, just five days before he
death, Mrs Osgood wrote the following lines t
a young girl, who had been amusing her by ina
king paper flowers, and teaching her the art:
You've woven roses round my way
And gladdened all my being;
How much thank you none can say,
Save only the All seeing.
May He who gave this lovely girl,
This love of lovely doings,
Be with you whereso'er you 60,
In ev'ry hopes pursuings!
Pn going through the Eternal gates
Ere June's sweet roses bloom!
Deaths lovely angel leads me there
And it is sweet to go.

Daniel Webster has received many har

So fallen, so lost +! the light Withdrawn
Kp. Which once he wore!

Forevermore
Revile him not-the Tempter hath
A snare for all;
And pitying tears, not scOrn and wlath
Beit his fall.
Oh dumb be PASSIONS stormy rage,
When he who might
S Have ligh'ed up and led his age,
Falls back in night
Scorn! would the angels laugh to mark
A bright soul driven
Fiend- -goaded down the endless dark,
From hope and heaven?
Let not the land once proud Of him
Insult him now,
Nor brnnd with deeper shame his dim
Dishonored brow.
But, let its humbled sons, instead,
From sea to lake,
A long lament as for the dead
In sadness make.
OF all we loved and lonored, nought
Save power reman;-
And fallen angel s pride of thought,
Still strong in chains.
All else is gone from those great eyes
The soul has fed;
When faith is lost, when honor dies,
The man is dead.
Then, pay the reverence of old days
To his dead fame:
Walk backward with averted gaze,
And bide the shame
