Sunday Schools

At recent meeting ofthe New York Sun
day School Union the Rev. NJ. SUNDERLAND,
used the following trenchant language:
He liked Sunday Schools, too. because the
system was lorestalling institution II took
things in the nick of time and got ahead of
the devil 1t was no more use 10 try TO con-
trol the tide of human life which flowed
through Broadway from Union-sqllare to the
Battery, than to attempt to sound the Niagara.
To control 1t they must go to the source of the
river-to the childhood of the sea. He liked
the Sunday School because it was n preven-
tive institution. 1t preserved children from
a manhood of villainy and from an old ace of
desperation. 1t was the gymnasium of the
Church; all the instrumentalities of the
Church were here combined. 1t was the re-
cruit;ng and drilling agency of the host of
Gods elect How many churches would
have died out had it not been for SUNDAY
Schools. For the happiness alone of people
he would that they were all Sunday School
teachers. 1t would bring the rose to the
cheek and the sparkle to the eye Of the
young lady who was now suffering from
ennui; it would give the young man who
found pleasure only in driving fast horses
something to do. Sunday Schools were
the John the Baptist of the religion, the
coulter in advance of the plowshare, the sap
per and miner company of grace, the flying
artillery of the church, and not only that, but
the small arms. Let them go on; God would
not end until He had found all His children,
which he was doing by this instrumentality.
Then the old Earth's day would be over, and
then she would swoon under the weight OF
ages into new and another dispensation.

Strange Story.

We have heard of counterfeit bank notes,
and counterfeit coin, and counterfeit almost
everything but until now never heard Of a
counterfeit husband. A welded couple in
Vermont, by hard fortune, were parted--he
going to California in search of gold, and she
waiting his return with patience Five years
elapsed, during which his letters were both
frequent, and heavy with golden remembran
ces of his wife One evening in April, she
was loyfullv astonished by the arrival of her
expected in a man five years absent from his
wife; his features appeared different, but that
was accounted for by her having retained in
her mind the exact expression he bore when
lie bid her good bye five years previously
lie brought home gold, and spoke of comforts
and Injuries, of houses and farms, and car
riages and fine apparel-all of which were
to be given to her rs a reward for her con-
stancv. He spoke of old familiar times. and
all changes of features and Of voice wa, for
gotten in the certainty that his aflectionate
heart was the same To show her prudence,
she brought forward some three hundred dol
lars slved by her out of his remittances. He
took the money, praised her economy, and
she was happv-happier than at her first
bridal. Next day, and the following friends
visited to offer congratulations upon his return
and the lady was lavish in her praise of her
husbands affection.
At length, another returned Californian
who knew the husband in the diggings, call
ed, and cruelty destroyed the happiness of
the family by saying and proving that the
acting husband was an impostor; that he was
a companion in California of the real husband,
and had thus obtained sufficient local infor-
nation of the domestic relations Of said hlls-
band, to enable him to speak and act as if at
home. The imitatiOn--the counterfeit hus-
band-was DESTROYS TO escape; but he was not
permitted so to DO. lie was arrested; and
though be thought he had committed no Of

peace has committed him to st. Adams Jail to

LITTLE BELL.
He prayeth well, who lOveih well
Both man. and bird. and beast.

He prayeth well, who l0veih well
The .aaeisnt Mariner.
Little Bell sat down beneath the rocks
Tossed aside her cleaning, golden locks
ssBonny bird,'' quOth she,
sseing me you best song before GO"
Here's the very finest song know,
Little Bell" said he
And the black bird piped-you never heard
Half so gay song from any bird
Full Of quibbs AMI wiles.
Nov 50 round and rich, now so soft and slow:
All for love Of that sweet face below,
Dimpled DER with smiles
And tle while that bOnny bird did pour
His full heart out freely DER and DER,
Meath the morning skies,
In the little childish heart below,
An the Inc sweetness seemed to grow and grow,
And shine forth in happy overflow
From the blue, bright eyes
Down the dell she lsipped, and through the glade
Pseped the squirrel from the hazel shade,
And from out the tree
Swung and leaped, and fr0leked void OF fear.
While bold black bird piped, that all might hear
'Lirtle Bell PiPed he.
Lille Bell SAT down amid the fern
squirrel, squirrel 10 your task return
airing me nuts" quoth she;
Up, away, the frisk squirrel hies-
Golden wood-llghts CHANGING in his eyes
Great ripe nuts, kissed brown by July's sun
In the little lap, drop one BY one
Hsrk how black bird pipes 10 see the fun
Little Bell quoth he.
Little Bell looked up end down the glade,
ssSquirrel, squirrel, from the nut tree shade,
benny black bird, IL you're not afraid,
Come and share with me-
Down came squirrel, eager for his fare.
Down came bonny black bird, declare;
Lille Bell gave each his honest share
An The merry tree!
And the while the frolic piaymates twain
Piped and frisked from bough TO boagh again,
Meath the morning skies,
10 the little childish heart below,
All the sweetness seemed TO grow and grow.
And shining out in happy overflow
From her blue, bright eyes,
By her snow-white coat al close Of day
Knelt sweet Bell with folded palms To pray
Very calm and clear
Rose the praying voice TO where, unseen
In blue Heaven, an angel shape serene
Paused awhile TO hear.
'What good child is this the angel said,
That with happy heart beside her bed
Prays so lovingly ~
Low and sOft, On. very low and soft,
Croonei the black bird in orchard croft.
..BelI, dear Bell,'' crooned he.
.sWhom GoS.s creatures love- the angel fair
Murmured, % God doth bless the with angels care
Child. thy bed shall be
Folded safe from harm-iOve deep and kind
Shall watch around and leave good gifts behind,

PUBLIC DEFAULTERs.-The State Treasur-
er of Pennsylvania has prepared list of the
defaulters to the Treasury of that State. It
Is quite formidable document, and occupies
no less than seventeen pages The total de-
falcations are estimated at 1863, 223. One
individual is represented to be behind hand
to the extent of $50, 343; another to the ex-
tent of $40,536; another to the extent of
S36, 1894; another to the extent of S35, 9l7;
another to the-ext of S33, Ill; another to
the extent of S27, 847-and so OH, down to
sums as low as 81 20. The defaulters in
clude brigade inspectors, marshals, sherifs,
auctieneers, county treasurers, prothnotaries,
collectors, &c. The Inquirer thinks that in
many minor cases the Indebtedness arose
either from miscalculations or misunder-
standing as to the adjustment of accounts.
