Child Stealing in Rome,

The following is related by cores
pondent of the N. Y. Observer, writing
from Rome, March 23d.
A day or two since, lad the son of
an American artist-the well-known
illustrator Of Harper's illustrated Bible
was missing. The domestic, most
devoted catholic, protested her igno-
rance of her whereabouts, s,-the lads
little brother was called, and, in his in
nocence remarked that he guessed he
was at the Convent. This was the first
intimation the parents had that their
children had ever visited the convent.
They sent for Hon. Mr.. Cass, who
took the boy with him, and went, in his
ordinary dress 10 the convent. The
manner in which the inmates gathered
round and welcomed the boy, convin-
ced Mr.. Cass that the boy had often
been there, and led him to believe that
the brother would be found there. He
inquired Tor him, but the Superior stout
ly affirmed that lie was not in the Con-
vent.-Mr. Cass requested TO be shown
through the establishment. His request
was granted, but no boy was found.
Mr.. g. then noticed a passage leading to
another building, or another part Of the
building. He insisted on being taken
thithcr, Hearing a noise in room as
he passed along, he opened door, and

A Sensible Landlord.

A little incident transpired some
weeks ago at one of our Frankfort
hotels, which under the present tenn
perancc excitement is worthy of no.
ttice. The names of the party we
shall withhold from the public for
shame's sake.

in pitiful tones told the keeper that
her mother had sent her there to got

Is it The Doctors Cat;

An article appeared some time
since the late flood, in newspaper,
stating that doctors Office was seen
floating down the NIonongahela, in
Virginia, during the high water.-
Its bottles of tincturcs and jars of
salves, with other characteristic con-
tents were in their places, though no
human hand appeared to minister to
suffering humanity. And yet the of:
flee was not without living occupant.
Pensively seated in a conspicuous
place, a solitary cat having been seen
taking perchance its last voyage of
discovery. The ark moved on, borne
on the bosom of the restless stream,
until, lost in the distance, sympathy
itself ceased to follow the luckloss
navigator! And yet, perhaps, not
entirely luckless for,whilc tho waters
were retiring from the bosom of tho
town of Webster, leaving an immense
deposit Of saw logs, mill wheels, bar
rels, fence rails, roofs, and sundry
other articles, the bitter complaints Of
poor, ship-wyeckcd cat were heard
A sympathetic young man c'amhered
over the promiscuous difficulties that
lay in his way, until he found the half
drowned and worse frightened object
of his adventurous search. The poor
follow was ta!;en Into good quarters,
and has become happily domes'icatcd
in my house. Hc seems to be doing
well without the nostrums he may have
lost. But IS he the Doctors cat =

found a priest or two at table and a
seat just vacated. He insisted that it
was the seat of the lost boy. The priest
denied it. Mr.. Cass then made himself
known as the Representative OF the
United States, and pretty distinctly in
timated that some OF Jonathan's thunder
would be put in requistion if the boy
was not forthcoming Immediately. The
boy was then brought forth from an adj
joining room, and restored by Mr.. Cass
10 the anxious parents. Such are the
facts. Make your comments.

TIE MISSIONARY HyMN.-A writer
in the New York Independent has made
The following interesting statement.
ga gentleman gave description of
the original manuscript Of The missiona-
ry hymn, which he had seen in Bishop
Heber's handwriting, in the possession
Of Dr.. Raflps of Liverpool. The story
of lis origin is that just before his en-
barkation for India, Bishop Hebcr was
engaged to preach missionary sermon,
when the minister Of the place told him
the choi, had no suitable hymn TO sing,
and be.gged-the Bishop to-write-one for
them. He sat down at once and wrote
this glorious hymn, of which the first
draft was SO perfect, that there is only
one alteration Of word. The line that
now reads
sThc henthcn in his blindacss,'
first stood
The pagan in his blindness
How many thousand missionary NEE
tings have been enlivened and elevated
and incited 10 new zeal and hope, by
singing this hymn.

From the Messenger and Recorder.
ODE TO MY FATHER.

Thou, while was very young,
Who taught my heart from sin to turn,
Art gone to Heaven
Gone to u better world above,
To bask in Gods eternal love,
Where the angel spirits sing,
Eternal anthems to their King.
Thou whose heart did always yearn,
For all who wisdom's ways did spurn,
From us was taken;
Taken from all cares and tolls,
Taken from this earl's turmoils,-
To the spirit land on high,
Where the happy never sigh.
Thou who taught me how to sing
The praises Of my Heavenly King,
All here no longer.
Thy voice 10 longer heard in prayer,
Thy soul no longer pressed with care
For Thy ofGspting,-children dear.
Which God hud given to thee here.
Since we were lel, for thee to mourn,
A sister from us, too, was borne,
To happy Canaan.
Deaths pale angel from above,
Commissioned BY the God of love,
Hath taken her for whom we mourn,
Till we are called like her to come.

When we think as Christ thought, dot as
Christ did, live US he lived when, like
him, we ore patient, meek and humble,
are about our Fathers business, are heav-

are los, in the will Of God when we
sympathizc with the suffering, raise the
fallen, comfort the afflicted, forgive as we
hupe to be forgiven; when we feel THUS,
and do thus, then we know Christ; then
we are united to him, as the branch is u

is TO have our lives hid with Christ in God.

One GOOD Word every Day,

A good word is one which does some
one good: ii may be q word ol teaching,
a word Of warning, or a word OF truth
and love. Speak one such VOID at
least every day.
Our days are few at best; certainly
no one oil them should pass without an
opening Of the lips for God. Who can
tell the effects of a single sentence, ut
tered with faith and prayer. 1t may
reach to thousands; it may reach into
eternity. As wave moves wave in the
ocean, so one word Of grace may reach
from mind to mind, and thus be produ-
cling effects long after the tongue which
uttered it shall have turned TO dust.
Never despair OF being useful so long as
you have the gift Of specch.-lf you
can say nothing else, you may at least
repeat some blessed text of scripture;
this may save a soul. That child, that
servant, that visitor, that stranger may
praise God in Heaven for the truth
heard from you, "Let your speech
be seasoned with SALT" Keep the heart
full, and you will have something to say.
"Out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth spcaketh." Every day the IN
godly are uttering fatal words, kindling
bad passions, and destroying souls. Ev-
cry day, therefore, all Christians should
be saying something for Christ. Ma
ny time, through grace, a single say
ing has been blessed 10 the awakening
OF soul. Pray for help to devise and
utter such things every day of your NE,
as may lead those who hear you, to faith
in your Rcdeemer.
