"a little girl to say what put it into your head

smoothing back her soft hair, from her white
forehead, and looking earnestly into her down

FIRE upon his heart. He felt instantly that he

aTake head, brethren lest there be in any of you
an evil heart Of unbelief ef"-Hebrers, III II.
The tree that Yields our cares and grief,
!; is from the root of unbeeG
8 The pricking thorns, the arrows fierce,
l.Our spirit and our flesh to pierce
Z The gratis that spoil our vineyards fruit,
I Are from that bitter evil root,
The branch that hangs with clustering woes
8 The flagstaff of the prince of foes
The tares that mar our golden sheaf
ALL, all spring up from unbelief
And Hope, the victim of Despair,
Points, dying, to the poison there,
But in Belief we've joy and peace,
OF faith and power a''sweet increase;
From burning skies safeSretreat,
IA shelter safe from tempests beat
Fresh balm of Gllead for our grief
( For every wound healing leaf
Belief smooths down our thorny cares,
With shooting grains uproots the tares,
Our harp from off the willow takes,
And every chord to music wakes, =
Z Till Hope, laid icy in the tomb,
5 Springs up with life and beauty's bloom.
When night comes murky, drear and damp,
Belief will screen and feed our lamp,
s Upon our feet her sandals bind,
About our waist her girdle wind,

Then, lend a staff, and lead the way,
Z Till we walk forth to beaming day.
When all the fountains fthe deep

While biowy mountains toss our bark,
Beliefs the dove, from out the ark,
Across the flood to stretch her wing,
4 And home the branch of olive bring
Belief hath eyes so heavenly bright,
AS on the cloud to cast their light,

Bent DER our world in peace to show,

: Belief brings distant prospects near,
With fruit, and bowers, and fountains clear,
: Where, when he strikes his tent, he'll be
An heir of Immortality.

A chain about our spirits ring,

Above the swell of Jordan's wave

In that sweet home, the spirit world!

their institutions, deserve on the account to be-
excluded from society. We told them that If;
they commenced the career of submission there
WIS not only no end, but no interval, no re.
pose.
As for the Abolitonists,, we admire their con-
sistency. They are distressed and mortified at
the admission of slave States into this Union; at
the presence of Shareholders in Congress; at the;
election of Shareholders for President So they
want to purify and dignity the court of Washing
ton, by the presence ola gang of negroes the
representatives of the august despotism of stu
pid negro usurper.
The argument on which they rely is, however
rather too jocular 1t ought to have been spared
us. We are told in the memorial Of the Yam
KEGS that the exports of United States to ;Hayti
amount to the enormous sum of not two million
per annum. Less than two millions out of an
aggregate export Of nearly two hundred millions,
is the temptation these Yankee traders suggest
to us, besides that of decorating our society with
dozen or so Of blacks? "
But if Hayt is recognized, Washington is
not the only place to be blest with negro digni-
taries. Consuls must be received at all our sea
ports. And the moment we have commercial
treaty, for that is to follow, then we are to re-
ceive free negro merchants, sailors, pedlars, and
travellers all over the country on the footing of
the most favored nations. Then comes the con-
fict between federal treaties, the supreme laws
of the land, and the police laws of the Southern
States concerning free negroes-laws essential to !
the safety of their fresides.
Now we know that diplomatic relations, and
treaties of commerce and amity are usually re:
garded as great contrivances to promote the 3
peace Of the parties. Let the experiment be
tried with Hayti and it will not only produce
war with her, but additional dscord among our (
selves. ts
However, according to the prevalent theory Of
liberty, OF the Constitution, and of human ma
ture, Hayti must be admitted. We only feel I
bound to make our incidental protest. We don't
expect to arrest the foolery Of the times. Per-
haps it is not better to retard it,. The sooner it
runs its course the better Besides, we are real
ly curious to see what length the North will co.
and how much the South will stand. After Z

INFLUENCE OF THE Moon UPON THE WEATHER.
"A Paris astronomer has published the results
of twenty years observation upon tho influence
of the moon upon the weather. From the new
moon to the first quarter it raned during the pc
Rod of twenty years embraced inthe calculations
7G4 days; from the first quarter to the full moon
it rained SIS days; from the full moon to thelast
quarter it rained 7Gl days; and from the last
quarter to the new moon it rained 696 days
So that during the moons increase. there were
1000 rainy days, and during her deccase only
l,457--a difference Of 152 days. The difference
is more likely to have been accidental than the
result of any natural cause, and the conclusion
which we derive from the statement is, that,the
moon has no influence upon the weather.

Coon MANNERs.-It has been said that "a
mans manners form his fortune" Whether this
be really so or not, it is certain that his
manners form his reputation, stamp upon him,
as it were, his current worth in the circles where
he moves. If his manners are the products Of
kind heart they will please, though they may be
destitute of graceful polish. There is scarcely
anything of more Importance to child of either
sex, than good breeding. Ifparents and teach.
ers perform their duties to the young faithfully,
there will be comparatively few destitute of good
manners.
Go into a family where the parents are civil
and courteous toward each other and toward all
within their household, whether as dwellers or
guests, and their children will learn to talk, from
imitation. But reverse things order ofthis con-
corning parents, and the children learned manners
just as in the former case, they learned good
manners by imitation.
Train children to behave at home rs you
would have them act when abroad. 1t is almost
certain that they will while children, conduct
themselves when abroad, as they have been in
the habit of doing under like circumstances, when
at home. "Be courteous" is an apostolic in
junction which all should ever remember and
obey Then would good manners be the COM
mon inheritance of mankind.

FRrESDsH1p.-Cold indeed would the world
be, and solitary our position, if it were not for
the sweet delights Of friendship. Man. must
live; he must link himself to some being, for his
own happiness depends upon it; otherwise he
grows sordid and selfish, and tastes not the joys
Of life. 1t is true that we have misapplied the
#sz=+l;sndship. %
thus applying the idea and deceiying ourselves,
as we have not yet proved him as friend. We,
create woe by our own acts Of indscretion, and
then assign to Others the cause.
True friendship is built upon the highest pow
ers of nature; there exists between two hands
joined together in honest friendship an indisso-
lube attachment, that neither time, place, nor:
circumstances can destroy. How noble is that
friendship that seeks the elevation of its object,
and how poor must that heart be that never ex-
pandcd beneath the rays of that genial sun that
never let an act Of pure disnterestedness animate
its cold and icy soul Friendship hath great.
ness in it, and great is he who hath so eurbed
the workings of his selfish nature as tc. become
friend to his felow-man, and he who hath bat
tied gloriously against the obloquy and contempt
of the world as to be worthy of the laurel wreath.
But, alas how seldom do we find true friend

perfectly happy as she had appeared on the day
he could first call her his own. Now, only one
thought echoed and re-cchoed through his brain.
"Should she die-oh should she die"
For sometime he stood transfxed, striving to
him, when he felt a slight pull at his coat by
Ellen, ";;th her pretty lips half parted. "Papa''
she half whispered, "mayn't 60 up stairs and
tell mamma YOU do love her dearly 2"

with the warmth of his new love close in his arm
he kissed her again and again, blessing bis Ma
ker that "out of the mouths of babes and suck
lngs he has ordained praise y then releasing the
uelightcd child he said, yes, darling, you may

The child flew up stairs, while her father fol-
lowed more slowly, mamma" she screamed,
bounding into the room, you won't cry any
more, nor have headache now, father says he
loves you dearly, my own dear mamma.
The poor woman sprang to her feet; she
could not comprehend the scene; she was be-
wildered her pale cheeks flushed and grew pal
lid by turns. She looked first at her husband,
and then at little Ellen, who had expected her
mother to laugh outright, and appcare as glee-
fu as she; little innocent being.
"Alice," said her husband in faltering tones
" our child is our peaeemaker; she has made
me better man do love you, Alice, will you
forgive me for my coldness and neglect 2"
With a low, thrilling cry of delight the wife
fell within her husbands arms "He was for
given" she was happy; in that moment old bar
riers were broken down, old associations forgot
ten, and he solemnly resolved, with the help of
God, to be no more an alien from home to re-
member the VOWS he had taken, and become
worthy of the confidence reposed in him.
Little Ellen danced around the room, tossing
her yellow curls and clapping her hands as she
shouted, "oh am so happy, I'm so happy,
mother won't cry any more,"-then under a
childish yet holy impulse, she knelt reverently
down and lispcd the little prayer she had repeat
ed every night since she was about two years
old:
