"This is my beloved Son, in whom am
well pleased, hear ye Him"

"This is my beloved Son, in whom am
well pleased, hear ye Him"
How long the vision lasted we cannot tell,
but all that night did Jesus with his friends
stay on that lonely mountain. Of the con-
versation that passed between them there
we know nothing: but little sleep, we i'm:
agine, visited their eyes that night, and as
they sat on the high summit and watched
the stars as they rose one after another above
the horizon, and gazcd on the moon as she
poured her light over the dim and darkened
landscape, words were spoken that seemed
born of heaven; and truths never to be for
gotten were uttered IN the ears Of the sub
duet ant reverent disciples.
Oh, how different is heaven and earth !!
Can there be a stranger contrast than the
Battle and TRANSPORTATION of Mount Tabor {?
One shudders to think of Bonaparte and the
Son of God on the same mountain one with
his wasting cannon by his side, and the other
with Moses and Elias just from heaven. 1t
is like seeing the devil and the angels in the
same Eden garden.
But no after desecratiou can destroy the
first conservation Of Mount Tabor; for, bap-
tiscd with the glory of heavep, and houored
with the wondrous scene of the Trans6gura-
tion, its stands the fifth Sacred Mountain
on the earth.

I WANT MOTHER.

An old man lay on his sick-bed, struggling
with death. Disease has worn out his body,
and so affected his mind that he was insensi.
BILE to all things and persons around him
His family and one or two other friends,
stood by his bedside, for it was evident that
he had but few minutes to live. He rolled
his head, as if in great pain, and made sew
eral efforts to speak. At length We could
distinguish the words, "Motber!. I sodnt
IMother! Why don't Mother come" His
mother had been dead nearly fifty years. He
was probably unconscious that he had swife
and children and grand children around him,
or that he was himselfany thing but child.
When he was really a child, he had his
troubles, as all children have, and then he
used to carry his little griefs to his mother,
for he knew now that he was in trouble, and
he thought if his dear mother would come
she would comfort him.
Oh, that children could now understand
what precious things their young affections
are 1t is sad to see how soon they some
times part with them, and how easily they
are made ashamed of them. Boys who love
to lay their heads in mothers lap, to kneel
by her side and offer their prayers to God,
and who feel as though they could not 60 to
sleep without her coming to their bed and
kissing them, and saying parting s'good
night" are sometimes ashamed of this sim.
pie and sweet attachment. Bad children,
such are as spoken of in Proverbs; xxx:H,
ridicule them for these expressions Of artless
love, and call them babyish. When they
become old enough to go out into the world,
evil companions teach them that it is child
ish, unmanly to, follow the councils which
they received in childhood, and laugh, about
"anxious mothers;" and they are too often
successful in their mean efforts to wean them
from the purest and happiest affection which
belongs to this world. Then they part With
the best love of earth forever. ~.
Would that our little readers knew with
what earnest, but vain lougings, they may
look back for these blessed young affections,
should they live until youthful hopes have
expired, and the cares of life have become
oppressive. We could tell them of men of
ripe age, strong minds, and who have reach
ed high destinations in the world who have
had hours when, crushed by troubles, and
worn down by suffering, they have beenheard
to exclaim, "Ch, that l were little child
again Then I would carry my SORROWS to
my mother, sob upon her bosom, and she
would take me in her arms and comfort me
so sweetly."
Children, your cherishyouthful affections.
If you loose them, they can never return to
you in their present freshness. Nourish
them through life, and there will never be
month, perhaps never day, but they will
help you to understand the still more tender
and con6ding affection which brings to the
redeemed child Of God, the love and watch
full care Of his Father in heaven.-Ameri-
can Presbyterian.

HOOPS.
BY COOPER.
Hoops on barrels, kegs and pals,
Hoops on boxes, tubs and bales,
Are articles Indispensable
But hoops rs they puff out woman's dress,
Making the woman look so much less,
Are things most indcfensible.
Hoops, when their sturdy clasp confines,
In brown old casks the richest wines,
Are objects Of admiration
But hoops as part Of woman's baggage.
Are like the whoops of a painted savage,
A vile abomination.
Hoops make useful, pretty toys,
For active little girls and boys.
But hoops on yomau gentle
Are things to sncer at and to scott,
And like the whoop of a whooping-cough,
Neither useful nor ornamental.
For while dear woman bones her skirts,
And with skeleton fauuts and firts,
She has so much to carry.
Man finds it hard with her to talk,
And harder still to sit or walk,
But hardest of oil to marry.
For when snitten wretch has seen.
Among the lost in criaolinc,
The ono his heart holds dearer,
Oh what chill 20 ardent passion,
To feel that thro' this hollow fashion
He never can be nearer.
That Instead Of timidly drawing near,
And pouring into the thrilling car,
The foods of his souls devotion,
He must stand and below in thunder tones,
Across half an acre of skirts and bones,
As if hailing ship on the ocean.
And if by chance the maid of his choice,
Shall family hear her lovers voice,
And smile her condcscension-
Why he captures mass of hoops and rings,
Skeletons, bones, and other things,
Too horrible to mention.
Thus lovely woman hoops to folly,
And drives poor man to melancholy,
BY her great frigid zones;
Then let her hear warning voice,
Between her hoops and hopes make choice,
And give the dogs her bones.

OUR NATIVE LAND.

Home of our birth our rlear-loved land,
Thy glories stretch from sea to sea:
e From ocean lake to tropic strand;
Land of the fearless and the free
From where the western Golden Gate
CLEANS ruddy in the sun setray,
To where the stern Atlantic chain
Looks proudly on the rising day;
From far Niagara's dclugc wild
70 Florida's pa ennial flowers
Ne'er hath the sun of heaven smiled
On such heritage as ours.
"God and the Union" This our creed
Our motto this forever be
So shall our starry banner float
Forever DER the brave and free!

THAT'S so.

Sos
The world gets wiser every day,
That's so, that's so;
A woman's bound to have her way,
That's so, too;
To contradict will raise spree,
That's so, that's so;
But man with her should still agree,
And that's so too.
She carries hoops beneath her skirts,
That's so, that's so;
They show her off when Ger she flirts,
That's so, too;
She wears her bonnets very small,
That's so, that's so;
And flounces if she's very tall,
And that's so, too.
