MAKING A RAIsE.-A gentleman who
was passenger on Wednesday nights
train from Cleveland, informs us of the
kind Of care taken by the passengers for
an : unfortunate" widow lady. who had
lost her baggage, checks and money at
the Cleveland Depot. The lady $50 the
plot rum had been West-lived in Great
Valley, Gait. Co., and was the mother of
numerous family. One gentleman,
possessing more sympathetic nature
than the rest ofhis fellow passengers, sta
ted her case, and commenced a collec-
ton. 1t being large train, thirty or
forty dollars were soon deposited in the
hat, and delivered over in due form to the
lady, who was much excited and over
joyed, at this unexpected kindness among
strangers. In due course of time the
train arrived at the Dunkirk Depot, and
instead of being assisted on board the
New York and Erie train about to leave
for great Valley, our lady hero concIu-
ded TO stop at one of the hotels, where
she was recognized by one of 'em" as
an unfortunate" lady from Buffalo.

Poor Charley's lameness almost pre-
vented this. He tried often vainly.-
"The branch is parting, whispered some
one, as loud crack was heard. The
brave Italian cast one glance at the body
of the tree, then at the abyss over which
he hung. "Signori, my wife and chill
dren," he said, looking up and then to
Charley, "once more--for life-for life ]"
This time he was successful, and the
mans strong grasp was on his ARM
One mighty effort, and he swung him
clear over the overhanging crag, away
above his head, to broad rock whence
many eager hands bore him to the top.
The peasant had just time to get off the
branch when the last fibre parted.
For moment 1 thought the revolu-
ton of feeling would absolutely strangle
Meeta. Then she bowed her forehead
on rock near which she knelt, and her
lips moved in thanksgiving to COP.
| Yes, in that hour the heavens were open.
ed for her. Her burden of gratitude
forced her TO scale them, for all eartl
flung it back. There was silence while
she lifted up her awed and overwhelmed
heart. When she rose, and Charley
sprung 10 her standing embrace, there
was an altogether new expression on he
countenance. She looked around on hill
and vale, and river, as if a new worlC
had burst upon her.
do not think she thought of TalfourC
then, but his whole soul was laid at he
feet. That one prayer had won-wol
what absorbed and wearying effort ant
affection had failed to do alone. DIZZY
with emotion, her tottering steps wer'
supported by his arm. His whole being
went back to her with passionate aban
donment that could not but satisfy eveI
her.
The brave peasant was generously re
warded, but think he cared more fo
Meeta's tears on his hand.
What delirium of pleasure glowed il
my beautiful friends eyes the next day
Time and eternity, this world and th'
next were casting their floods of happi
ness at her feet.
81 thought we were to be on our way
to England to-day, Talfourd."
He looked at me as if was wild
then laughed. "Oh! 1 recollect
WelI-Pm not going to England jus
now, my dear fellow"
They were married in Italy, and Tai
iourd's ardent affection for his lovely
bride was-I'll leave it to novel writer
to describe.

For the Chr
AGITATION.

Slavery may be considered as the
darkest shade of that moral night which
still hangs over our world, but which
must soon pass away forever. Believing
that the Universe is governed by wise
and holy and omnipotenl God that He
has condescended to reveal his purposes
to man and that the Bible contains that
Revelation, we look with confidence for
the triumph of Righteousness in the
earth.
There may be some who look for such
a result from what they suppose to be
the independent action of human minds,
who overlook, or deny the Divine agen-
cy in human affairs but God is our
strength. If "Truth is mighty, and will
prevail" ;" it is because truth is an instru-
ment in the hand of mighty Cod
Were it not for his powerful agency,
FalsekOod, on earth, would forever prove
itself mightier than Truth.
In all our efforts to advance the cause
of righteousness, our hopes of success
are founded upon the joyful fact that God
reigns. When we see the King of kings
seated upon the throne of the Universe.
and seem to hear, as John did, the glad
hosts of heaven, "as the voice of mighty
thunderings, saying, Alleluia for the
Lord God omnipotent reigneth, we can
look with less alarm upon the darkness
that hangs over our fallen world can
anticipate a glorious result of all the
chaotic movements of human minds
The hearts of all are in the hands of God.
He cannot be disappointed by any Of his
creatures. He has said, "As truly as /
Iive, all the earth shall be filled Nth The
qlory of tie Lord" 1t is the confidence
inspired by such declarations as this that
sustains the good man in all his conflicts
with the ruler of the darkness of this
world. Were it not for this confidence,
built upon the immutable purposes OF
God revealed in his word, survey OF
the present moral condition of the world,
and especially of our own beloved coun.
try, would be discouraging indeed
What indications do we see of the tn
umph of Righteousness in our great Re-
public, called so free, so prosperous, and
so happy ? Alas, we see the whole pow
er of the government arrayed on the side
of oppression 1t is humiliating 10 know
that the present chief magistrate of the
nation has been placed in that high posi-
ton, by the vote of large majority Of
the people, solely on the ground of his
known devotion to the interests of Slave
ry. He had defended himself against

1 never saw two people that seemed so
"made for each other" as did Meeta

rarely thinks of such thing in reference
to persons that have never been brought
together, but the first time l saw Miss
Carr, as her head appeared above the

indifference. The Conservatives were
ransacked for choice boquets for her ;
and her door was besieged with anony-

SELF RELIANcE.-There is g time, in
every mans education, when he arrives
at the conviction that envy is ignorance;
that imitation is suicide that he must
take himself for better, for worse, as his
portion that though the wide universe
is full of good, no kernel of corn can
come to him, but through his toll, be-
slowed on that plot of ground, which is
given him to till. The power which re-
sides in him, is new in nature, and none
but he, knows what that is which he can
do, nor does he know until he has tried.

"AND THERE WAS LIGHT"

BY LUCY LARcoM.
Light was, before the sun
His ancient race begun.
The Father spake bubbling spark
Gushed to fountain though the dark,
Till chaos and the wastes Of night
Were deIuged with the billoEy light
Again he He speaks. The bright drops run
To wheels of fame and moon and sun
Have a triumphal road Ger darkness won.
In all are CLEANS Of Light,
Though often out of sight,
obscured by sorrow and by sin;
By ignorance locked blindly in;
That warmth keeps hidden germs alive,
More potent heat the bloom will give;
That spark shall meet another ray;
That darkness shall be Lights highway;
For God gives every soul sun, a star Of day.
Ye guides of other men,
By tongue, or deed, or pen,
On your bright axles calmly turn;
By pausing, ye would blast and burn.
Clear sun-drops from the Fount of Love
Adown your earthwsrd channels move.
Shine on, though all is dark below
Through thickest fogs the sunbesms go,
To make the unseen blossoms bud and blow.

YOUTHFUL DAYS.

BY W. r PORTER.
Oft in childhood's happy hours,
When the sultry sun was high,
Have gathered dropping flowers,
Where the tree-tops hid the sky.
Winding down pathway far,
overgrown with forest trees,
Branches hanging lowly there,
Waved in every passing breeze,
To bright and sunlit glade,
Where crystal stream is seen,
Hall in sunshine, half in shade,
winding through the slOping green.
On those mossy banks I've lain,
Listening to the murmuring stream
Till it. like the falling rain,
Wrapped my spirit in dream
Long I've fingered by its side,
Forming fancies wild and rare,
TIL the coming eventide
Threw its darkness on the air.
How loved those quietly visions
Childish fancies though they we're
Yet to me as worlds elysian
Seemed those castles in the air"
Many a bright and happy day
Have passed within that glade;
Sunny isles in memory
Frightening sea os shade.

''On the second night we performed
Pizarro, my brother acting the part of

child, and as he was rushing up towards
the bridge, he observed a tall negro
holding a ateacupful of blood, (rOse pink
which was wanted almost Immediately
on the other side of the stage. As he
passed he said to the negro, Here, boy,
carry that blood round to me on the
other side-I want it the moment cross
the bridge" Away dashed Rolla bear
ing the child aloft, amidst a volley of
Spanish musketry /; and turning to cut
away the bridge with his sword, what
was his horror to see the tall negro walk
upon the stage, between the water and
