CHILnREN's JOYS AND SoRRows.-I
can endure melancholy man, but not a
melancholy child; the former, in what
ever slough he may sink, can raise his
eyes either to the kingdom of reason or
of hope; but the little child is entirely
absorbed and weighed down by one
black poison-drop Of the present. Think
Of child led to the scaf'old, think of
Cupid in Dutch coffin; or watch a but
terly, after lis four wings have been
torn off, creeping like worm, and you
will feel what | mean. But wherefore
The first has been already given; the
child, like the beast, only knows purest,
though shortest sorrow; the one which
has no past and no future; one such as
the sick man receives from without, the
dreamer from himself into his asthcnic
brain; finally, one with the conscious
ness not of guilt, but of innocence.
Certainly, all the sorrows Of children are
but shortest nights, as their joys are but
hottest days; and, indeed, both so much
so, that in the latter, often clouded and
starless time of life, the matured man
only longingly remembers his old child
hoods pleasures, while he seems al
together to have forgotten his childhood's
grief. This weak remembrance is strang-
ly contrasted with the opposing one in
dreams and ftvers in this respect. that
in the two last it IS always the cruel sor-
rows Of childhood which return; the
dream, this mock-son of childhood and
the fever, its distorting gass-both draw
forth from dark corners the fears OF de-
fenceless childhood, which press and cut
with iron fangs into the PROSTATE soul.
The fair scenes OF dreams mostly plav
on an after-stage, whereas the frighttul
ones choose for theirs the cradle and the
nursery. Moreover, in fever, the ice
hands of the fear of ghosts, the striking
one OF the teachers aud parents, and
every claw with which fate has pressed
the young heart, stretch themselves out
to catch the wandering man. Parents,
consider then that every childhood's
Rupert-the same given in Germany to
the fictitious being employed to frighten
children into obedience, even though it
has lain chained for tens of years, vet
breaks loose and gains mastery over the
man so soon. as it finds him on sick
bed. The first fright IS more dangerous
the sooner it happens; as the man grows
Older, he is less and less easily fright
ened; the little cradle or bed-canopy of
the child is more easily quite darkened
than the starry heaven of the man.

THE DEAD SEA AND JoRDAN.-The
Rev. DR.. Odenheimer, in letter from
Jericho, addressed to the Banner of the
Cross, makes this beautiful aluson:
s'The contrast between the natural APP
pearance of the Dead Sea and the Jor-
dan was strongly symbolical of that be-
tween their moral aspects, as looked at
by the Thoughtful Christian. Behind us
was the Dead Sea, perfectly enveloped
in clouds, and hidden from our view by
the mist and rain; before lis was the Jor-
dan and place of Christ's baptism, with
the bow of promise resting above it.
The one spot marks the wrath of God
against sin; the other declares the inf
mite mercy of God towards sinners. The
bitter wave that rolls above the doomed
cities of the plain, may we'll be covered
with clouds and darkness; the refreshin g
stream that Jesus has, Gas our baptsmal
service says sanctllied, and in, and by
it, "water to the mystical washing away
of SIN" is most tittingly spanned by the
sign of love, bright and beautiful, as
Gods love to man is certain and unfail-
ing"

WOMEN AND NEwspApER.-A face
t;ous Boston editor is warm in the
praise of his lady subscribers. He SAYS;
Women are the best subscriber in the
world to newspaper, magazines, SC. We
have been editor now gong on eight
years, and we have never lost a single
dollar by female subscribers. They
seem to make it point of conscientious
duty to pay the printer and preacher,
two classes eff the community who sui
fer more by bad pay and no pay at all,
than all the rest put together. When
ever We have a Woman's name on our
book, we know it is just as good for the
subscription money as picayune is for
a ticker. Moreover, he asserts that
ladies read the newspapers to which
they subscribe, and concludes by declar-
ing that he would rather have one lady
on his books than dozen men.
