secOnd ChildhOOd.

The old man falters, and his grey hairs
float over the haxen curls ofthe babe upon
his knee. He falters--for he is telling a
simple tale, little meaningless nursery
story, and the recital brings tears to his
childish old eyes, until verify he is sobbing
over that glossy hair. The babe looks up
unmoved, only wondering what makes
grandpa cry and it's tiny fingers receive
the tears as they drop.
Second childhood There is something
strange yet strangely tender in the con-
temptation of decrepid old age; something
sorrowiul in the plantive, tremulous tones
of his cracked voice something winning
in the way he looks in faces that are dear
to him something sweet in the cllngng
tenderness with which the old man in his
dotage grasps the strong arm that supports
him. "''
"Forty years ago." and that is the bur-
den of his daily song" forty years ago
ah was young then," and the faded eyes
roll upward, and the venerable brow is
shaken. The song, the story of Lang
Syne" are remembered with all the clus-
tering jokes, the familiar faces, the sunny
smiles, while the death Of yesterday is only
dmly thought Of when some passing ex-
preston, something missed, attracts for a
brief moment his wandering thoughts.
And now he takes his cane, cut years
ago from the branch of an aged hickory,
and totters forth, led by child. A spear
of grass is placed in his trembling hand,
and he babbles over it, winding it over his
blueish white finger, and patting it en- his
knee. Sometimes land il seems then as il
some angel influence had warmed the brain
to momentary intelligence) he looks up
into the sky-with what q glance So
childlike, SO confding, with smile all free
from earthliness, with trust that sayeth
"my Father"
Second childhood! the old wife has gone
there are many graves in the ancient
church yard where the sod has laid long on
his treasures. Does lie remember the babe
that crowed in his then strong arms, sixty
years ago! Yes; though he walks on
graves, and us far IS human hopes are con-
cerned, his bosom is one grand sepulchre
he remembers them all. Like blind
man grouping, he feels his way along the
sleeps of his decline. The briars are there
but his feet have long been shod with the
preparation of the gospel-he feels them
not.
Second childhood-in all but stature, be
isa babe--a pulling, tottering babe, but
oh almost an angel in the strength Of glo-
rious infancy. Very near the pearly gates
is he-very near the golden streets. Those
now faltering steps will soon tread will
young elastic steps through the New Je'
rusalem, and he will no more forever know
the first and second childhood of mortality

IMPROVED WEronING ScALEs.--By re-
cent invention, instead Of one arm or lever
as employed in ordinary weighing appara-
tus, three arms are provided, with weight
upon each, This arrangement permits the
permanent attachment of the weights to
the arm, and thus prevents the inconveni-
ence that ten occurs from the lower mis-.
placing of the weights. 1t also affords
great convenience in ascertaining the tart
OF the article, for one of the weights may
LIE moved so as TO Indicate the tare, while
another will show the gross sum.

GA correspondent Of the Independence
Beagle, writing from Alexandria, on the
9th of April says:
The news which lately reached here
from Abysinia represents the Emperor
Theodius | as deeply engaged in new
schemes of conquest. He is determined,
it would seem, to subject the whole of AZ
rica to his sway, and to convert its inhai.
tants to religion of his own liking. He
has abolished male servitude throughout
his domnions, but still keeps the women in
slavery, regarding them as inferior beings
A Capt of Cairo has been appointed Patri
arch of the dominions of his sable majesty
and encourages the Emperor to massacre
all who refuse to become converted.

A Religion Of Mere Taste.

There is q class OF minds that contem-
plate religion chiefly as matter OF TASTE
Poetical and imaginative, they see every
thing through the golden haze OF fancy
They talk much of the religious sentiment
and appeal to the feeling of moral beauty
as the persuasive to virtue. we confess
the charm of their writings, and often lin
ger over their pages. But, after all, what
do we find in their brilliant rhapsodes
1t is the spirit of poetry, which silVers
the world with Moonlight, beautiful, but
cold. Such revcries may fascinate the
mind in its dreamy moods; but they can
not conquer the stormy passions, nor sub
due the terrific depravity Of human soul.
1t is astonishing how little practical power
a religion has which depends on art, on
painting. and music, and cathedrals. Sen
timents of beauty have their place in the
worship of God. They may attract to the
porch of the temple, but when we ente
and become really interested, these ligh
emotions give place to deeper feelings
Then we are not merely creaturesof taste
but guilty and wretcbed beings, coming
to God for mercy and salvation. Noprcach
ing can be really powerful which does no
touch these mighty chords of the huma
soul. No man ever preached with grea
effect who did not feel that religion wa
something more than beautiful, and thf
life was moro than theatre for acting,
for the display of sensibility. No ma
can preach with power who does not le
that existence is unutterably solemn; th'
it is,a probation for eternity ; and that !
and his hearers are passing together to Il
tribunal, Of God. Nothing keeps the ia
ulties, OF man strung to such intense act''
as the conviction that he must give STR
uccount to his Maker feeling such as
expressed in the sublime hymnof Wesle
WHICH stlEs the spirit like the sound OF
Trumpet

"There is no flock, however watched and
But one dead lamb is there tended,
There il no fireside, howsoe'er defended,
But has one vacant chair !"
Three summers ago, as we passed to and
from our dwelling, VIC used to notice two
golden haired children at play in the yard
or upon the walk. They were pictures of
health and beauty, ever-gushing fountains
of childish buoyancy and mirth, and as
bright as the sunshine which played around
them. Each had cordial greeting for us
as we passed, and each morn and eve, we
looked for their bounding forms as we turn
ed the corner. Not long since in company
with friend, we turned the same corner,
and lovely girl came to meet him and
turned up her rosy cheek for the accustum-
ed kiss. "The other little feet do not
come TO meet me any more - said he with
quivering lip. There was shadow deep
ly lying in his heart. The tripping steps
of the sister awoke the echoes Of the little
brothers. steps down where they linger
mid the desolaton of broken hopes. The
other little steps meet him no more There
is vacant chair by the hearth, and the
winter fakes fall coldly upon the little
mound among the sleepers. Life has nc
sunshine which dispels these shadows
which linger through life like pail oveI
buried treasures.
