Her angel spirit Is with God.
flushed Is that silver voice, which seems
still 10 arrest the parents ear;
Closed are those eyes,-through whose bright beam
The light Of reason shone so clear
That graceful forn-that eye SO bright
The frolie glee Of gladstone play
No more shall charm our partial sight,
Nor gid with joy each passing day.
Brief was her resideace on earth,-
Twas like unto a single day;
An angel pure of heavenly birth,-
Like her, could here no longer stay. m
Oh, was there no kind hand to save,
No one to hear our angushed cry;
To snatch our Eva from the grave,
And bid this bitter cup pass by?
Hu hid be this voice Of wild despair
Let our rebellious hearts be still;
Oh, Heavenly Father hear our prayer
And grant submission to thy will
For when child or christian dies,
And leaves all pain and sorrow here;
When the free spirit upward hies,-
Why should we shed q single tearl
The coffin and the winding sheet,
Alas! to men are gloomy things;
But oh, the infants death is sweet,
For Christ himself removes all stings
Then may we know our infant friend
Is now with Christ the Saviour blest;
And say while Ger her grave we bend,
How peaceful is our Eva's rest.
We leave her there, till Christ shall come
The solemn sleep of death to break;
Then she shall leave her silent tomb,
And in the Ssvour's Likeness wake.

run FINE PRAYER

The celebrated Prof. Francke, .wHo founded
the great Orphan Asylum in Halle, was walk
ing one day in the fields with one o. his col
leagues. ALI at once the voice Of a person
praying drew their attention, They stopped,
and on looking, observed behind bush two
children on their knees, one CT whom was
praying feryently to God. The two professors
listened, and were edited with the devotion
which the young Christians seemed to possess.
When the prayer was ended, The children
rose. swell, " said the one who had led the
deyotions, with a self.complacent arr" didn't
| make a fine prayer2"
This last rssHask caused Ffancke and his
companion als,siafnl surprise. But after a
moments ASiiscf4Dn, one of them remarked:
9 This child 'htsy5nly shown openly what of
ten passes in all our minds. How often,
when God has disposed US to pray with some
feryor IN preSenc6pf our brethren, do we rise
from our knees with secret vanity; and it
shame did not restrain us, should ask with
this child, Haze not made a. fine prayers'
Not only in prayer do we find this missra.
Bile pride of our heart; but ia our sermons too.
Ask the most faithful preacher il after delive.

applauded himself, and been tempted to say to
his hearers, "Have 70. / made a. fine sermons

AN EXPEDITION AGAINST NICARAGUA.--A Pari
correspondent Of the London Tunes, writing
under date of April 10th, says that "a private
letter from Madrid speaks of a desire existing
on the part OF the government for making an
expedition against Nicaragua, combined with
France and England, under the apprehension
that if the Americans succeeded there. the same
hllib1sters may pass on next to Cuba. There
are persons, however who are of opinion that
Spain had better keep her flag outof any coils
ion with the ''stripes and ars," for that the
United States would, in oil likelihood, make "a
mighty pretty quarrel out Of anything of the
sort, and that neither England nor France might
think it expedlent to extricate Spain from her
embarrassment.

DANGEROus ORITTuISMS.

Whoever accompanies a congregation which
has Just been dismissed from church, may hear
q great variety Of criticisms on the SERMON
These ordinarily refer more to the manner of
delivery, and the style Of composition than to
the Scriptural handling Of the subject, or the
practical character Of the discourse. There is
a way Of discussing the merits of sermon,
which has Just been delivered, which is emi
nently proper and profitable. There is another
way, which is not only injudicious, but DANCE.
rous to the spiritual welfare, especially tn the
unconverted.
The recital Of on actual occurreace will be
the best illustration of our meaning A pious
lady once left church in this city, in compang
with her husband, who was not professor Of
religion. She was woman. Of unusual vivacity
with akeen perception of the ludicrous, and
often playful,Y sarcastic. As they walked along
toward home, she began to make some amusing
and spicy comments on the sermon, which .
stranger. man Of very ordinary talents, ant
awkward manner, had preached that morning
In the absence Of the pastor. After running OF
in this vein Of sporlive criticism for some time
surprised at the profound silence of her husband
she turned, aud looked up in bis face. He wa
in tears That sermon had sent an arroy
Of conviction to his heart Let the reader In
agine the anguish of the conscience stricke
wife, thus arrested in the act of ridiculing
discourse, which bad been the means of ava
keuing the anxiety Of her unconverted hus
band !
Incalculable harm is done by these inconsit
crate criticisms. Many child has gone hom
from church full of tremtling solicitude abol
eternal tbings-longing perhaps TO throw itse
iuto the arms Of the parent and ask, "Wha
must do to be saved ?''-enly 10 have all con
cern chilled, and oil convictions chased away b
the captious or mirth,moyiDg criticisms of ii
father and mother. Many an unconverted Wi
or husband, many an impenitcnt friend, ha
thus had all interest dissipated by those WI
were perhaps at that very time praying f
their salvation.
