Faith.

A touching incident was related to us a
short time since, of little boy six years old
who had early been taught to pray to his
heavenly Father. He had been told this
Father watched over all his people, and lis
tened to the prayers of every little child.
He had been away during the summer with
his parents, at lonely farmhouse by the sea
side, where he had no young companions -
About three-quarters of mile distant, resid-
ed another family where there were children,
who came occasionally to play with him, and
he soon learnt the way to their home.
But the road was very lonely, across a
marsh no house was near. Not till just be-
fore they left the sea-shore, did the mother dis
cover the loneliness and danger Of this road
which the child had so often crossed in safety
at some seasons it was almost impossible, ow-
ing to the sunken holes concealed by the grass,
and the nature Of the soil.
After his return to the city, he was playing
in the room with his mother, and suddenly
looking up from his toys, with a serious, SOL
emn expression of countenance, said, mamma,
l always prayed to God, when | went over
from grandfa,her's to Mr.. Smiths sWhy
did you pray then, my child!' Because it
was so lonesome, mamma, and was all
alone. sWhat did you pray to God for,
dearestp THAT he would take care of me,
mamma, and keep all the snakes away, and
ugly beasts, and acild men, and he did, mamma.
Is it not told, that angels tread
Softly. around our children's bed
Guard all their footsteps-guard Iom ILL.,
From birth to death, are with them still,
And with the mourning parents stay.
When He who giveth. takes away" J"
Did not this child possess Faith! Pure,
undoubting. Except ye become as little
children, ye cannot enter the kingdom OF Cod
-Orphan's Advocate,

With sorrowing hearts they set about max
ing preparations for the funeral, which was
to take place on the following day. The
corpse was taken (as was the custom) to the
village church, and Gustave was forced to
officiate, although he would fain have shrunk
from the task. His parishioners said they
had never seen him SO moved on any occasion,
and loved him'm than ever, because a poor
unfortunate stranger had been so kindly cared
for by himself and family. They did moi
know any of the particulars, nor the deep emo,
tions that filled the bosom of that good man,
while performing his painful duty. This done
Gustave determined, if possible, to save Or
lando. He accordingly started for the prison
in which he was confined After tedious
ride Of four days, he reached the place, but
learned that Orlando had died one week pre-
vious, and on the same day that Ida died. He
left several letters to his wife, begging her
pardon for the misery he had brought upon
her, and acknowledging the justice of his pun
ishment.
lie said that love for strong drink acquired
in youth had been the cause of all his misery.
When his money was gone, he stole to obtain
liquor, and now, said he, / cannot get liq-
uor, nor can live without it l am therefore
determined not to endure this suffering longer,
and before this reaches you, / shall have
passed from earth by pOison administered bv
my own hand Gustave returned sadder
man, but glad that Ida had not been panied BY
the contents Of his letters. A plain white
slab may be seen in the village cemetery al
s. with the simple inscription, Poor
Ldd.' A willow waves its long branches over
her grave, and the plants and shrubs so neatly
arranged, showed that she had friends; poor
though she may have been. There is moral
in this tale, which we leave for our young
lady readers to find out.

Creeping Things,

Let me put spider into any lady's hand.
She is aghast She shrieks. The nasty, ug-
ly thing. Madam, the spider is perhaps
shocked at your Brussels laces, and, although
you may be the most exquisite painter living
the spider has right to laugh at your coarse
daubs as she runs over them. Just show her
your crotchet work when you shrek at her.
Have you spent half your daysp the spider,
if she be spiteful, may remark, have you
spent half your days upon these clumsy anti
macassars and these ottoman covers! My
dear lady is that your web! If ! were big
enough, might with reason drop you and cry
out at you. Let me spend a day with you
and bring my work. have four little bags
Of thread-such little bags In every bag
there are more than 1000 holes-such tiny
holes Out of each hole thread runs,
and all the thread-more than four thous-
and threads-I spin together as they run,
and when they are all spun they make but one
thread of the web weave. have member
of my family who is herself no bigger than
grain OF sand. Imagine what slender web
she makes, and of that too, each thread is
made of 1000 or 5000 threads that have passed
out Of her four bags through 1000 or 5000
little holes. Would you drop her, too, cry
ing out about your delicacy! A pretty thing,
indeed, for you to plume yourselves on your
delicacy, and scream at US Having made
such speech, we may suppose that the in
dignant creature fastens rope around one Of
the rough points Of the lady's hand, and lets
herself down lightly to the floor, Coming
down stairs is noisy, clumsy work, compared
with suoh way Of locomotion. The creep

They are more delicate than any Ormolu clock

mother. They spent several days very pleas
antly in the family. Orlando urged his suit
with an earnestness worthy of lawyer, but
Ida remained unmoved. His mother, too, was
busy, and before leaving obtained consent of
the parents to the object so much desired, and
a promise from Ida to correspond with them
Immediately on their arrival home, Orlando
commenced the correspondence, which was
kept up regularly for months, Ida carefully
avoiding the subject upon which Orlando most
delighted to dwell. He, however, insisted
upon her decision. She endeavored to get
the consent of her own mind, but could not
She had perceived years previous that he had
fault, which she feared would increase with
age.
Her parents did not urge her, but gave con-
sent SO willingly, that she knew their wish
was, that she should accept the hand of Orlan-
do, and determined to risk the chance of her
own happiness TO please those who had done
so much for her. Consequently she accepted,
and their nuptials were celebrated with great
honor, and the happy couple were escorted to
their pleasant home by large concourse of
friends. Ida was all that Orlando had imag-
ined, and indeed all that any man could de-
sire. She was, he said, more attractive than
when in the school the Thought of her preven-
ted him from getting his lessons. We will
now leave them surrounded by every blessing
and happy in each others love; and pass over
the space of thirteen years, during which
time the parents of both died, and their wealth
was bequeathed to the young couple.

A counterfeit five dollar bill on the Phoenix
Bank of Chicago has made its appearance
The bill, in most respects. is not even an imi-
tation of the genuine. The vignette of the
genuine is an Eagle, with Canal and Railroad
cars in the back ground. The counterfeit has
IA woman floating in a cloud. In the centre of
the genuine, the word " five is printed in
large pale red letters; in the counterfeit they
are entirely wanting. The bill is poorly exc
cutel, and even with our imperfect description,
TO one need be deceived in reference to it.
We wish to caution our readers specially
against the FASTING operation" Within the
past few days, bills of this description have
become very common. 1t is to be hoped the
rogues who put them alloat will be caught ere
Iong.-I'hey consist Of ones altered to fvcs.
We saw bill ON the Elgin Bank to-day, and
nne on New York Bank, and the thing may
be done with almost any one dollar bank bill.
Ihc words - five dollars" are pasted over
those giving the proper denomination, and
figures, over the ones. They will only deceive
those not accustomed to handle much money
and business men who are in hurry. They
are easily detected by holding them up to the
light. What we have to say is LOOK snARr.-

Rush on the Land Office.

The land Office at EIwarlsville is still
'lhiIy crowded with applicants for lands, at
twelve and Il half cents per acre. The public
lands are rapidly disappearing, and the proba
bity is, that every land office in Illinois will
be shut up in six months hence. There may
be some tracts and patches of land left, but
they will be utterly worthless for all practical
purposes, and will not be worth paying taxes
on. Several good strikes, or lucky hits, have
been made in entering lands recently. One
person got $3.50 acres near the line of jersey
and Macpupin counties for St5, which is sup
posed to be worth about $1,000. Another en-
tered land which turns out to be good farm,
worth from so to SD per acre; and several
cases have occurred, where valuable tracts
have thus been secured at mere trie. The
person entering these lands is compelled to
swear that he intends to actually settle upon
and improve them. In most cases, these per-
sons are farmers, who enter vacant lands near
about them, attach them to their farms, settle
their children upon them &c-Ahon Conner.
