i am constant visiter in the family of a
mute gentleman. His wife i.also mute.
They have an only daughter, named Lizzie,
who is,close on ten. In addition to being
gifted with the senses of hearing and speech
she excels in sign-making. Her mother, de-
spite her infrmity, is perfect in everything
that goes to make perfection either in the
personale or mental snake up" of woman.
Not many days ago, Isaw an cpistle written
by her daughter, whichI deemed a rare lit
erary incident for a girl of her age. A few
weeks ago she was immersed at the baptisl
try in the church where, her silent parents
worship. AS witnessed her immersion, i

ed at the age of six years, and died the fol-
lowing year.
A little sweet plump of a girl came into
my room the other day. She has been but
ashort time at school, and her language is
therefore imperfect. She has strong mind
however. She took a pencil, and after wri-
.ing on a black board, called my attention to
her writing, which was quite a curiosity in
the way of written expression. 1t was in this
wise:
Joseph Mount wise-W William-lazy
-punpunish-glad."
The meaning Of which is: Joseph Mount
is wise. William is lazy. Joseph Mount

ESTEEM myself fortunate in the instruc-
tion, for few years to come, Of the most
amiable little girl that you, reader of mine,
ever saw. She is nine years ofage, and lost
her hearing when quite small child, aby a
disease Of the brain brought on by serious
injury done to the region in which her left
ear is located, by falling into well. She
writes rapidly; makes more or less, mistakes
'though she has an excellent understanding,
iand does not persecute her studies with the
zeal and success desire. She is too young
to learn much. In school she is serious
but, cut;of school, she is quite as playful
'as kitten. She Is lsarning to knit
as well as darn stocking, and to
sew. She says that she wishes she could
do all kinds Of fancy work.
A short time since gave her a pretty
valentine which had received from an un-
known source, and she ran to her mother,
and handing it TO her, desired her to
give Il 70 Aer younger brother. The W
Gle mute forthwith composed sketch Of her
Srotber The sketch Is a good ono |; so here
goes:

ran to her mother. She gave the valentine

THE idea Of the worlds redemption is the
most snblime conception Of the Infinite mind
that has been revealed to, man. We know
not what thoughts exist in the depths Of the
Godhead, or what thoughts the Holy c ne
has revealed to other beings who dwell near
est the eternal throne but We do know that
no other thought, so awful and sublime as
this has ever fallen upon the ears of listen
ing mortals. 70 fully develop this grand
idea Of Heaven, our blessed and holy Saviour
"trod the wine press of the ferceness aud
wrath of Almighty God" And He, who
thus suffered from the establishment of this
cause, gave the great commission to 20 into
all the world, and preach the gospel:o every
creature. The sublimity Of the idea is seen
again in the scenic representation of the
apocalypse "And saw another angel f,y
in the midst of heaven; having the everlast-
ing gospel to preach to them that dwelt on
the earth, and to every nation, and kindred,
and tongue, and people" But it is not on
ly subhmesin thought; it is also Sublime in
practical operations. A commission from
Christ to preach the gospel 10 every crea-
ture, carries with II the assurances that every
creature may reeciyesit and be blessed by its
holy mission. II contemplates with an eye
of bonevolence this great prison house of sin
and death, and possesses the power to rend
the cells. and let in the light Of eternal day,
assuring its inmates that they are prisons Of
hope. And the results Of the missionary en-
terpr;se, many Of which are already before
the throne, are worthy Of our God Has the
missionary work proved faiurel Ask the
millions of redeemed from the earth.
