time when little Carry was stricken to the
earth, for the next day his hair was white.
and the wrinkles gathered on his brow,
anil sorrow pressed her burden upon him,
till his shoulders were bent with its weight.
Never had he tasted of the cup since
then; and the mournful presence of his
injured child was continued and awful
pledge of his reform. Nineteen years
it seems dreary length Of time-had
that poor girl laid upon bed of pain :;
for nearly aquartcr of a century her feet
had not touched the greensward, nor had
she ever plucked the wild flowers she To-
we'd, from their native soil. From home
to home she had been carried, each more
splendid than the last, and her mother, n
bIlgAa sorrowful creature, had hovcrcd
above ~ almost day and night, devotinc
her energies, her life, to this her greatest
treasure among many"
But the soul grew on to perfection with
in that detormed body; the wise, the great
and the good sought her darkened cham
Der to gather fresh hope and strength for
the life journey; to listen to the sparkling
thoughts that fell like pure gems from her
pale lips; to wonder at the patience that
sat enthroncd on her ir brow, while the
shadowy form Of death moved never from
her side, or, rs it were, tabernaclcd ,ithin
her very heart from hour to hour.
The bride knclt down by her sister at
her request, and happy as she was, tears
gathered in her eyes and fell upon her
costly bridal veil, as the cmaciated hand
was slowly lifted, aud placed on her head.
Tn lips moved, the large eyes were up
turned to heaven, and all present felt how
sac.'"d must bc the blessing so fcrvcntly
and So. rituallv invoked.
Ana suddenly n change camc-a change
for which D"Tc were prepared, notwith-
stondine it had Laen looked for daily. A
faint flush, and then a deathly pallor; a
slight trcmor around the beautiful mouth,
flash Of triumph from the dying eyes and
with n smile of indescribabic sweetness,
the purified soul mounted with sister an
gels to heaven.
After her burial the mother grew palcr
and saddcr; the father still plodded on,
amassing wealth. and bcstowing much up
on the poor and unfortunatc he mover for
gave himself for clouding that young life,
never.
But the momcrv Of Caroline Alden is
still blessed, still shrined within many low
ing hearts. Upon her simple monument
is inscribed the following:
"OUR CARoLINE,
a meek sufferer, an angel on earth"
And those who know the history Of her
life, weep as. they gaze upon it.-OHve

THE LITTLE BOUND BOYS DREAM
WRITTEN FOR AND DEDICATED TO THE
CHILDREN, DY NJ. A.

a little (air-haired child laid its pale
cheek upon a pillow of straw.
1t had tolcd up three pairs of narrow
dark stairs, to gain its miserable garret
for it was little bound child" that had
neither father nor mother; so no soft bed
awited its tired almbs, hut n miserable
pallet with one thin covcrlid.
1t had neither lamp nor candle to ligh-
ten the room, ifsuch it might be called;
still tnat was not so bad, for the beautiful
round moon smiled in upon the poor lit
tie bound boy, and almost kissed his fore
head, as his sac eyes closed drcamilv.
But after while, as he laid there,
what n wondrous change came over the
place. a great light shone down; the
huge black raftcrs turned to solid gold,
and these seemed all studded over with
my, precious, sparkling stones. The
broken floor, too, was all cncrusted with
shining christals; and the child raised him
selfupon his elbow and gazed with half
fearing, half delighted look upon the go-
riouS sight.
One spot on the wall seemed too bright
for his vision to endure but presently,
as if emerging from it, came n soft, white
figure, that stood by the poor bound boys
bedside.
The child shut his eyes; he was a lit
tie, only little frightened, and his heart
beat quickly, but he found breath to mur-
mur "tell me, who you are9
"Look up, be not afraid :" said sweet
voice that sounded like the harps of hea-
ven, "look up darling, am your brother
Willy, sent down from the angels to speak
with you, and tell you to try and bear all
your sorrow patiently, for you will soon
be with u.s."
What, you my brother, Willy oh j
no, no, that cannot be; my brother Willy
was very pale, and his clothes were patched
and torn; and there was hump on his
back, and he used to 90 into the muddy
streets to pick up bits ofwood or chips, but
your face is quite two handsome; and your
clothes prcttier than any ever saw before:
and there is no ugly hump on your
back-besides, my brother Willy is dead,
long ago"
"I am your brother Willy, Your i'm
mortal brother; my body, with the ugly
hump, is dead and turned to ashes; but
just as soon as that died, went up TO the
great heaven, and saw sights that can
not tell you about now, they were so very,
very beautiful. But God, who ia your
Father and the holy name of Eternity,
gave me these bright garments that new

NEVER GIVE A KICK For A Hr.-
| learned good lesson when | was a
little girl, says lady. One frosty morning
was looking out of the window into my
fathers barn-yard, where stood many cows,
oxen and horses, waiting to drink. The
cattle all stood very still and meek,
till one Of the cows, in attempting to
turn rouud, happened to hit her next
neighbor, where upon the neighbor kicked
and hit another. In five minutes the whole
herd were kicking each other with
fury. MY mother laughed and said, See
what comes Of kicking when you are hit
Just so j have seen one cross word set q
whole family by the ears some frosty NOR
ming. Afterwards,if my brother or myself
were little irritable, she would say

return a kick for a hit, and you will
save yourself and others great deal Of

NUN BER 7.
From the Casket.,
A Fidler Converted.

We recollect singular circumstance
that was related to us in Kentucky, by
Mr. B, who joined the church under
our ministrations, when he was probably
past fifty years of age. He had been a
man of the world, and given to dissipa-
tion and pleasure. He had a family of
several daughters, that were grown. He
was particularly fond of dancing parties,
which he had frequently at his own house.
He would play the violin, while the Young
folks danced, for he took pride in his
skill in performing on that instrument.
A dancing party was to come off at his
, house on one christmas eve; and on the
evening previous, he had been busily en-
gagged in making the necessary prepara-
tons, putting his Violin in order, practis-
ing, DC But on the night he dreamed
the party were met at his house, and all
were happy and dclighted-that the
dance was progressing, and that he was
the musician, applauded by all for his
performances. Unexpectedly he though.
in his dream, that a negro man entered
the room, and coming up to him, said he
also could play on the viol n, and asked
permission to do SO. He handed him tho
lnstrumcn, as he thought, and instantly
he began to play. AS he proceeded tho
sounds became richer and sweeter, and
the music surpassed anything he thought
he had ever heard. In surprise he turned
to gaze upon the strange perf'rmer-his
appearance was changed-it was no longer
| that OF common negro-he had grown
to a gigantic statue-his eyes cleaned
upon him like balls of fire-and he felt
that his visitor, who was playing for him,
was the devil himself, und no MORTAL
Horror struck, he awoke and found him
self trembling with the fright the appari-
ton had caused, and the cold sweat roll
ing down from every part Of his body
1t is needless to say that the party Of
pleasure, anticipated on the next evening,
did not take place. Mr.. b. had no more
dancing parties at his house. He never
played the violin again. We do not say
that his dream was the means of his con-
version; nor do We put any implicit conf
dence in dreams. But We know, it was
the circumstance, which led to an out
ward reformation immediate and entire.
And from that day Mr.. b. began to at
tend on the external means of salvation.
which he had never done before, in consc-
qucncc ofwhich he became hopefully con-
verted, and joined the church with scv-
eral other members of his family. 1t was
after his connection with the church that
he related the circumstances which We have
just detailed. believe he is still a resi-
dent of Lewis county in Kentucky.

The Croup--How to Prevent it.

A correspondent of the New York Mir
ror, medical practitioner, in an article on
this subject, says:
The premonitory symptom ofcroup is
shriIl, sonorous cough. The patient is
not sick--has no fever,as often in a common
colds lively, perhaps even gayer than
usual; his hands are cool, his face not
flushed, possibly shade paler than usual.
The solitary symptom may last for few
days, with no material increase or abate-
ment, and without attracting any notice;
suddenly, however, the disease, hitherto
latent, bursts forth in all its fatal fury, and
too often continues its ravages unchecked
to the dreadful consa@mation. The RENE
dies for this symptom Of Group are simple,
and in most instances perfectly efficient.
They are; a mustard p ultice, or a
strip of flannel dipped in oil of turpentine,
or spirits of hartshorn, applied to the
throat, and nauseating doses of Hives syr-
up, to be continued as long as the cough
remains. BY this timely employment Of
mild agents, l unhesitatingly assert that
multitude of lives might be saved every
week that are now lost through uesl;-
gence and delay"
1.-The experiment of moro than 90 years,
has taught us that the above prescnp-
ton, provided the Hive syrup be given, IN
obstinate cases, in doses sufficient to pro-
ducc vomiting, is an efficient and almost
unfailing remedy. In very severe attacks,
if the fever and other symptoms arc not
removed by the emetie, the warm bath,
and calomel promptly used, will scarcely
ever fail to relieve the patient-.Star.

A GENTLE HrNT.-A middle aged far
mer and his young wife were enjoying a
winter evening costly together when the
conversation turned upon religious mat
tiers, as described by the Bible which the
man had open before him.
"Wife," said the farmer, 81 have been
thinking what happy society Solomon
must have had in his day, with so many
wives, &c. as is here represented"
"Indeedi" replied the wife somewhat
miffcd "you had better think of something
else, then. A pretty Solomon you would
make, truly; You can't take proper care
Of one wife. What figure you would
cut, then, with dozen wives, and all OF
them as spunky as I am"

the stable to feed the cattle for the night

ARGUMENT.-Never waste arguments
on people that don't know logic from log
wood-whch is the case with half the
people who love disputaton. The best
reply to stolid dogmatist is to say, ,'cer-
tainly-no donbt of tits clear as mud"
there's no poser" like springy acquics-
cence to your eternal wranger. Let him
have his own way, and you confound him
at once. Leave him to himself and YOU
make him so uncomfortable, that he will
leave yOu-"a consummation dcvoutly to
be wished" Conviction seldom comes
of personal disputation, in which the bat
tie is waged much ottener for victory than
truth, except a conviction that the other
party is very dull, or very dishonest. Be
sides, few persons take their opinion thro'
argument. in the first place, and Dean
Swift said with the utmost truth, that "it
is useless to attempt to reason man out
Of thing which he was never reasoned
into"

The family that never took newspa-

two bachelors, down in Tennessee, who
had lived sort of cat-and-dog sort of life,
to their own and their ncighborhood's dis
comfort, for a good many years, but who
had been at camp-mceting, were slight

to reform.
"Brothor Tom," says one, when they
had arrived at their home, "lctus sit down
now, and I'll tell you what well do. You
tell Inc all my faults, and I'll tell YOU of
yourn, and so we'll know how to 90 about
