KEEP YoCR EYE on YoUR NEIGHBoRs
Take care of them. Don't let them stir with
out watching. They may do something wrong
if you do. To be sure you never knew them
to do anything very bad, but it may be on your
account they have not. Perhaps, if it had not
been for your kind care they might have dis
graced themselves and families long time ago.
Therefore dou't relax any effort to keep them
where they ought to be /; never mind your own
business that will take care of itself There
is man passing along-there he is looking
over the fence into his neighbor's garden-be
suspicious of him, perhaps he contemplates
stealing something some of these dark nights !;
there is no knowing what queer fancies he may
have got in his head. If you see any symp-
toms of any one passing out of the path of
rectitude, don't say anything to the errng in
divdual about it, but tell every one else that
you can see, and be particular to see a great
many.
1t is good way to circulate such things,
and though it may not benefit yourself, or any
one else particularly, it will be something equal
ly important about some one else. Do keep
something going-silence is dreadful thing,
though il is said there was silence in the Courts
of Heaven foE the space of half an hour, don't
let any such thing occur on earth it would be
too much like Heaven for the inhabitants of
this mundane sphere. If, after all your watch
full care, you can't see anything out of the way
In any one, you may be sure it is not because
they have not done anything bad perhaps in
an unguarded momeut, You lost sight of them
throw out hints they are no better than they
should be-that you should not wonder if peo
ple found out what they were after q while
and that they may not carry their heads SC
high Keep it a going and some one will take
the hint, and begin to help you after while
then there will be music, and everything work
to charm.

q A r H Z RED PEARLS.

Alice was lovely child, her sparkling black
eyes, snowy complexion, and golden hair, made
her lovely-while her gentleness and happy
bird-lke freedom, rendered her an agreeable
companion. -Four Springs strewed their aow-
ers at her feet but like flower she dropped
faded and perished She bowed her little head
under the weight of suffering heaped upon her !;
angels came to watt her happy spirit home to
world of light. Kind friends composed those
little limbs for the grave gentle hands laid
that tiny form in the dust, there to wait the
resurrection morn. Soon the flowers will shed
their dewy fragrance above her head. Dry
thy tears thou stricken Mother, thy little one
waits to welcome thee in happier, better
world than this. Though she may be hid from
thy sight, Jet she sleeps in peace-where no
storms of sorrow, affiiction, or envy shall ever
disturb her sweet repose but as shining an
gel, she will ever bask in the bright sunshine
of redeeming love. The silent tear may fall
when those useless little robes are laid away
the untold grief may rend thy heart, as no lit
tie footsteps shall greet thy listening ear but
do not murmur remember she is singing the
songs of the redeemed in glory. Do net wish
to call her back, but try to meet her amid the
blood-washed throng in Heaven.

A FRAGMENT OF NoAH's ARK DISCOVERED IN
ILIINoIs.-The BardStown Illinoisan says =
While visiting a friend in Sangamon Bottom,
in this county, short time since, we were
called to examine specimen of stone which
he had lately taken from neighboring quar-
ry. The curiosity consisted of two sandstone
recks, which were found joining each other
in centexural form, which when separated, the
face of the one presen ted the appearance of
having been part of the side of a vessel near
the gunwale there seems no doubt to have
been an overlapping of the timbers in the
form of a cornce or moulding around the YES
sel The work of art is as plain to be seen
on the stone as on the floating vessel the
holes formed by the nails are very distinct, as
well as the fossilixed texture of the wood
There are also pieces of iron with the speci-
men, which seem to have been used inste ad of
caulking between the strips of plank.
