upon me. 1t was lighted up with nobl,
and wOmanly love, deep, dewy tender
ness,
"Tell her to so to him and pour out at
his feet all that depth of devotion which
lies so rich in the heart of woman. To hole
out her hands to him, and raise him up to
stand beside her, on that high pinnacle Of
wealth and estate. Tell her that of all the
great heart Of life, love is the dearest throb
within it.. 1t is a beautiful creation, and
oh not lightly to be dashed aside"
burst into tears; | pointed to the door,
and cried
"Miriam there is despairing and heart
broken man sitting by your freside. 1t
is Leonard"
She started and fell backward against a
chair. The gush of imperial beauty flow
ed away from her face and left her color
less. Then, with firm step and graceful
majesty, she took my hand and led me out
into the broad hall. Down the great stair
case, and across to the door of the room
where he sat. Her brow was pale and
calm, her hand did not tremble within
mine.
Stillin the wide seat where had left
him, the fire light shining vividly around
him, sat Leonard. He arose when he saw
us, and took step forward into the middle
of the room. could have fallen down and
worshiped him as he stood there with no.
BILE, yetattenuated form, and his great ado
ring soul standing on the Threshold of
his eyes. He looked i'll and sorrowful, but
a conscious dignity of manhood hung about
him like cloak.
Miri am leaned heavily upon me; and
now she trembled like an aspen. He took
another step forward, and spoke to her Mi
riam; have come to release you from the
ties that bind you 10 this wretched and
MANNED being-the shadow Of myself. l
am here to give you up forever"
His voice died away in agony of anguish.
He. essaycd to regain his courageous and
manly bearing, his love omnipotent, su-
preme, loosened all the fountains of his
heart, and he most bitterly wept.
With one bound she reached his side,
with one wide embrace of her arms, she
made circle of love about him; with one
burst of tears she rained heaven of light
and hope and devotion into his crushed soul.
Through the veil of her jewelled hair, I
saw her face lifted up in divine gratitude,
the lips moved as if in prayer-the broad,
bright brow wore halo about it like a gol
den band.
l departed silently, and throughout that
hh@@ppy day l repeated truly araa earnestly,
"Of all the great heart of Life, Love is the
dearest throb within it,"

CROPS IN ARKANsAs.--The Little Rock
Democrat of the 22d ult. says.-"We had
fine rains here on Thursday evening and Fri
day last. The crops, which were before
beginning to show evident signs of suffer-
ing, in consequence of the long drouth,
have been completely y revived and now look
very promising. The rains throughout
the State, have been partial while in some
counties fears are entertained of a failure
of crOps-in others they are unusually fine
The wheat crop, we believe, is excellent
throughout the State, and will be far the
largest ever made in Arkansas.

pRACTTcKI pRAYERy

In the vicinity of B--lived poor
but industrious man, depending for sup
port upon his daily labor His wife fell
sick, and not being able to hire nurse, he
was confined himself to the sick bed and
family.-His means of support being then
cut off, he soon found himself in need
Having wealthy neighbor near, he de-
termined to go and ask for two bushels Of
wheat, with promise to pay as soon as
his wife became so much better that he
could leave her and return to his work,
Accordingly, he took his bag, went to his
neighbir's and arrived while the family
were at morning prayers.
As he sat on the doOrstone he heard
the man pray very earnestly thatGod would
clothe the naked, feed the hungry, relieve
the neady, and comfort all that mourn
The prayer concluded, the poor man step
ed in and made known his business, prom
ising to pay with the avails of his labor.
The farmer was very sorry he could not
accommodate him, but he had promised
to lend large sum of money, and he de-
pended upon his wheat to make it out; but
he presumed neighbor A-would let him
have it. ..'s..''''
With fearful eye and sad heart, the
poor man turned away. As soon as he
left the house the farmers little son STEP
ed up and said.
"Father did not you pray that God
would clothe the naked, feed the hungry,
relieve the distressed and comfort mourn
ers?"

"Because, father if had your wheat l
would answer your prayer"
1t is needless to add the Christian father
called back the suffering neighbor, and
gave him as much as he needed.
How, Christian readers, do you answer,
your own prayers.

THE POWER OF TRUTH.

Wealth, we are told, is power; talent
is power; and knowledge is power. But
there is mightier force in the world than
either of these-a power which is not rich
enough to overreach, nor authority impo-
sing enough to silence. They all tromble
in its presence. 1t is Truth-the really
most potent element of individual life
Though tossed upon the pillows of popu-
lar commotion, or cast into the seven fold
furnace of persecution, or tramplcd into
the dust by the iron heel of power, truth
is the one indistructible thing in this world
that loses in no conflict, suffers from no
misusages Or abuse, and maintainsits vital
ity and completeness after every assault
All kindes of conspiracieS have been un-
dertaken to destroy and drive 1t from the
earth; all sources pf power has been used
to crush it, and all kinds of seduction EN-.
ployed to vitiate and poison it; but none
has succeeded, and none never will. VIZ
can be confident of nothing else in this
world but the safety and imperishability
of truth-for it is part Of divine nature ant
invested with the eternity and omnipotenc'
of its author and source. 1t may oftel
seem to be in danger; it is as much set up
on and assaulted now, after eighteen hun
dred years of successful resistance, but his
tory and experience ought to reassure ou
faith. 1t has ncAer yet failed and it nev
er will. We may rest serenely on it an
feel no alarm; we may anticipate its sour
ces, and enjoy its triumphs. In this strug
CLING life, what encouragement and CON
fort is there in this thought-the man G
truth and the cause of truth, are connect
ed with the most potent element in th
world, and have all the certainty of SUI
ceeding which Gods immutable nature an
decree afford. ~EE

The BIBLE IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The BIBLE IN Our PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
-"Americans If you wish to arrest
dreadful national ruin-if you would stem,
under God, the tide and torrent Of super
stition that now threatens to inundate the
land of our fathers-if you would support
the great principles you love, and disperse
the overshadowing heresies you hate-cleave
more closely to your Bible, which our enc
mics are endeavoring to exclude from our
public schools, That, Americans, is your
bulwark and your glory. If God, in judg-
ment, were to take the stars flom the fir
mament, the tides from the ocean, the ver-
dure from the green earth, he would not
inaict by half, so tremendous catastrophy,
as to permit the removal of His Book from
its supremacy and to suffer the traditions
and commandments Of men to supercede
or be substitute for it.
TO the Bible we are indebted for our
very brightest hopes, for our most substan
tial peace, for our dear and holy faith, fol
the knowledge of our Maker.
Then, Americans, we cannot be oojeal
GUS of our birthright, of our religion, Of
our privileges, nor too suspicious of foreign
dictation. 1t behooves us to be wide awake
to everything touching our religious, civil
and political rights. ."--RevilHe, Seneca

ROMANCE OF INDIAN LIFE.


A private soldier writing from Fort Lar
annie, March 18th, mentions the following
incidents of the massacre of Lieutenant
Grattan:
I will give you two facts connected with
the massacre. which l have never seen in
the newspapers. A musician, one of the
party, owned or married squaw, and on
that unfortunate day when she saw danger
threatening the troops, she rallied her fath-
er and brother to save her lover. When
he fell wounded, she rushed to him to pro-
tect him from the arrows or perish with
him.
Her father shot several arrows at the
other Indians, and was wounded himself
in the defense of the soldiers. Then he
sat down and wept, as he could do no more.
The hostile Indians then rushed on the
wounded soldier, tore him from the en-
brace of his faithful squaw, and scalped
him before her eyes. After this she coPd d
not be prevailed upon to eat or drink, and
starved to death, dying in nine days, and
glad to go and regain the presence of the
spirit of one she loved so dearly. The on
ly soldier that reached her alive was fount
by an Indian, who instead of scalping him
administered to his wants, and carried wa
ter to his hiding place, and endeavOred tt
bring him into the fort during the night
but being unable Or afraid to accomplish
his purpose, he turned back to Mr.. Bar
leau's house, bearing the soldier, and fou
Indians overlook him and wanted to xii
the wounded man, or as they said, "tha
dog" The reply ofthe noble friendly In
dian was, "this white man must live, or
die" and he bore him off in safety. Sue
generous deeds should be remembered.
