To all human appearance, It was ar
unilnportant incident that an Egyptian
princess, while bathing, should find the
child OF a Hebrew bondlnan secreted in
au ark OF buIrushes; yet there were
connected with that event many oil the
grandest exhibitions Of power that are
to be. found on the pages Of sacred or
Proane history, y.,.e,@r5 f,at,.so55 ef
JHhat aloced lie compassion of the
princess' Simply the falling Of a tear
from the eye Of the babe. "Brhold, the
babe wept; and she had compassion on
him." Doubtless she was in sympathy
with her father, who had devoted the
males Of Hebrew children to death.
But the tear-drop on the infants cheek
moved her heart, and she not only spa
red, but adopted him. eefr
A peculiar trait of character in this
princess also attracts attention. 1t is

Practical Workings Of Systematic Be-
nelicence.

| UtHNbhSOt
Few asisns Of the times" are more
hopeful than the prompt adoption BY
Christians ol the Scriptural principle
discussed in the "Premium Essays" oI
stated and proportionate beneYolencc.
Once made general, that principle will
furnish 10 overhowing all the means
for prosecuting evangelical enterprises
on more adequate scale. We append
few illustrations from our correspon-
dence Of the workings Of this plan:
A. gentleman in Baltimore encloses a
donation ofS2o, and writes, "The Prize
Essays have Instructed, and brought me
to adopt fixed system Of bcnevolence.
l set aside, monthly, a definite portion
Of my income: and as often adjust my
accounts with this fund. One great adj
vantage ! derive from this system is this,
that avoid all controversy with my
alfslness. Regarding the Lords share
as not my own, can dispose of it for
benevolent purposes without depending
on some eloquent APPEAL. The only
questions are, Is the object laudable
one; and is there any money in the treas
ury? Then ! can act Systematically,
deliberately, and impartially."
GA friend to the tract cause"
in sending $50, says cit is one Of the
results OF a system which adopted
when I commenced life. I vas led to
resolve Thai the tenth Of all my increase
should be The Lords. This was fifteen
years ago, and have ever kept il in
view through the darkest as well as The
brighter days. Asl began with nothing
except cabinet makers trade, my
was slow; but found occasion
10 bless God that he had put it into my
heart to make this resolution. About
4 year and half since, made It a
lenth of my income, and find il feast

No, for it's gnarlcd oaks olden,

No, for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lead from the fragrant hedge,

And stealing their golden edge:
No. for the vines on The old upland
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pinks,nor the pale, sweet cowslip

With eyes that were dark and deep
In The lap of tha, old dim forest
He lieih in peace asIeep:
Light as The down Of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We royed there the beautiful summers,
The summers Of long ago,
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
Aud one Of the autumn ewes,
made for my little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Sweelly his pale arms faled,
Ny neck in a meek embrace,
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows Of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops BRIGHT
He fell, in his saint.lise beauty
Asleep by the gates Of light.
Therefore, Of all the pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
The one Of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best Of all.

ioined by ia Brahmin from the neigh

in correct and impressive manner of
lie condensation, purity, miracles, and
dying lore Of The Lard Jesus as the
only Saviour, and Of the Ignorance,
weakness and sinfulness of the Hin
doc gods, and their utter inability ito
save. To the various objections made,
his replies were pertinent and salts
factory. He repeated the ten com.
mandments, and explained how the
trausgression of them was sin. This
Brahmin, who thus boldly made known
the Lord jesus Christ as the only Sa-
vionr Of lost sinners, received his first
Christian knowledge from volume Of
