Ben Adhem removed his hand from tho
clear forehead of his child, and releasing the
hand of hers which he had grasped, slowly
moved away, exclaiming
"No, no, my child; it cannot be; I would
willingly yield thee to a worthy husbands
arms-I would have givef thee to one of
lesser fortune if thy choice had lighted there,
but can never give thee to the son of the
olive merchant, Abdallah, for he has done me
much wrong"
And Abou Ben Adhem remained deaf to
his child's entreaties and forbade her to
marry Abdallahs son; but when he retired
to rest, the vision of the past night appeared
to him; and when he closed bis eyes to sleep
he again saw the gates of Paradise, and they
seemed thicker than before, and all fastened
with massive chains, and as he approached
towards them they became less and less visi-
bic, and then disappeared; and Abou found
that he was in the midst of thick darkness,
and sound was in his ears like the roaring
of the ocean. He strove to emerge from this
dreary scene, but the farther he proceeded,
the deeper was the darkness, and the more
dismal the roaring; and he cried out in his
heartfelt agony:
"How, how shall find my way out of this
dreadful place" ?" and Immediately soft, low
voice seemed to whisper in his ear;
"THoU SHALT LOVE THY FELLow-MENw
And Ben Adhem suddenly awoke.
His child was at his bedside; she had
come to summon him to his sunrise ablution.
And while he gazed upon the sunny face of
Zaide, tears came into his eyes; and holding
up his arms, he said:
"Kiss me, Zaide; kiss me Upon the cheek
of Innocence let me make my peace with all
the human race"
And when he arose, he called for the son
of Abdallah, and placing the hand Of Zaide
in his, he said:
"Be this the surety that am at peace
with all mankind ~
And he gave orders that his debtors should
be released from prison, and he sent for the
christian whom his neighbor had left unpro-
vided for, and took him into his own house.
And when the sun went down, Ben Adhem
was happy man. When he laid himself
on his couch, in his dream he again saw the
golden gates of Paradise, and they were now
open. There he saw the friends of his youth,
and the wife of his early love, with snowy
pinions and bright countenances; seraphic
music greeted his ears, and he passed onward
to the regions of the blest.
And when he awoke from his vision, he
felt that bis mysterious wish was grati6ed.-
He was now happy man; and looked for
ward to the scene that had been pictured in
his dreams, feeling confident that he might
soon enter the bright portals of Paradise, and
there rest in the bosom of his early love.

How TO MOVE THE WoRLD.-A lesson, which,
if well learned, would be of vast benefit to many
theoretical reformers of the present day, is taught
in this incident, which we take from a work on
the life and sayings of Socrates:
A Grecian youth, who saw the errors and follies
of the people, and wished to reform the world,
once exclaimed
"Oh, that were rich, and famous as an orator,
would move the world so soon Here are sins to
be plucked up, and truths to be planted Oh, that
l could do it all. would reform the whole aorld-
and that so soon"
Socrates, hearing the youth, said
Young man, thou speakest as silly women.
This gospel. in plain letters, is written for ALL
LET HIM THAT WOULD MOVE THE WORLD, MOVE
FIRST HIMSELF 1t asks neither wealth nor fame
to live out noble life. Make thy light thy life
thy thought, action. Others will come round, and
follow in thy steps. Thou askest riches to move
the world. Foolish young man, as thou art, begin
now. Reform thy little self, and thou hast begun
to reform the world. Fear not, thy work shall
never die"

THE N. Y. LICENSE LAW.

The legislature of New York have recently
passed bill entitled "An act to suppress intem-
perance, and to regulate the sale of intoxicating
liquors."
To suppress intemperance! Why on the con-
trary the act is admirably calculated to foster
and encourage the sale and guzzling of liquors in
the worst form, and in the most demoralizng and
Objectionable manner.
In commenting upon the passage of this law,
THURLow W. Brown, the senior editor Of the
Cdmgd Chief, uses the following pointed, and yet
truthful language:
shadow of darkness rests down over the length
and breadth of the empire state. Her legislators
have proved recreant to the interests conhded TO
their keeping. and have betrayed humanity into
the hands of her enemies. The prayers or the
christian people have been disregarded. and their
hopes stricken down. The innocent and the de-
fenseless are spiked to the cross, and already
thousands Of sorrowing ones are bowling their
heads in agony Of soul, and asking, why hast
thou forsaken me @
The maIign star of the rum traffic is again in the
ascendant In New York. Bodies, souls, and hopes,
are wasting at MONDAY under its blasting glare

feast, and riots and fattens in its new power
The rending woes of deeper and more despairlng

and hearts which had turned TO the Capitol for
protection and hope, hope more forever. for ere
deliverance shall come, the b0ndmen Of this DAY

The politician has sacrificed man. The "sanctity

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
THE SOULS INNER LIFE.

No traditionary tale ever related in external
language, can convey so sublime admonitions as
are taught by the voice of the INNER LIFE No
human language can express the beautiful con.
ception of the present. describe the glory of the
prophetic vision of the future, as conveyed by this
unseen, yet potent power.
Within every being exists this LIFE. 1t speaks
always. In the silence of the still night, when
wakefulness repels slumber, and the moment Is
halowed by the influence of solitude, does it pre-
sent to the enlivened senses panorama of beauty
far exceeding ordinary thoughts, and rivalling in
purity and fairy magnifcence the most perfect
imaginings Of the poets brain.
Like the dew.drop in the rose, this LIFE gives
an additional ustre and brightness to what before
was beautiful. Forever eternal in its existence,
descended from heaven and chosen its abode in
the human breast and is not to be driven there
from by any undeserved neglect or oppression, or
even by sin or baseness. If habitual vileness for
time takes possession Of the soul, and the order
of nature becomes temporarily inverted this LIFE
does not desert nor abandon its sanctuary, but at
the souls gate sits silent and mute; and if the
least nobleness is manifested by the sin-bound
spirit, she instantly lifts her radiant orbs and
illumines the whole being
preacher of the true gospel is the INNER LIFE.
In prosperity she speaks of the Giver, from whence
flow all blessings. In health she speaks of temper
ance and confluence. In danger and trouble she
warns and fortifes. In sickness she purifes and
elevates the spirit from earthly desires and unholy
passions.

ABEAUTIFUL INCIDENT-The following simple
and heart touching response uttered from the very
soul of childish simplicity and innocence from its
mingled tone of gratitude and wonder, possesses
singular beauty:
lady visiting New York city, observed one day
on the sidewalk, ragged, cold and hungry little
dow. She stopped and taking the little one by the
hand, led her into the store, and though she was
aware that bread might be better for the little girl
than cake, yet desiring 10 crafty the shverng and
fororn one she bought and gave her all the cake
she wished for.
She then took her to another store, where she
procured her shawl, shoes and stockings, with
other articles Of comfort The grateful little girl
looked the benevolent lady in the face, and with
artless simplicity asked: Are you Gods wife9"

THE INNER LIFE.

Hearts have inner worlds of their own
They exist unseen. We may feel their pulse
beat and see the flush of their changes upon
the outer walls, but to the outward gaze, the
within is an unknown realm. The currents
which affect the outer mass, there ebb and
flow, but the beating of the flood is unheard.
Though silent there, it is world of tho't and
activities. 1t has its calms and excitements
1t has its day and night-ts shadows and its
sunbeams-its labor and its rest. Hopes
bud, bloom in day, and die. Fierce and
consuming fires are there hidden. Aspira-
tions chafe and shut like teeth upon the bars
that grind them to inactivity. Disappoint-
ments canker deeply into the core, and great
sorrows, like perpetual clouds, pail the wasted
hopes, and drip with tears as years wear on.
They drift into the sunniest sky, and cast
their shadows in the midst of Joy and mirth,
when unexpected and unbidden. There are
days "dark and dreary," and gloomy, when
the damp vines cling to the mouldering
wall" The winds are wailing and sobbing.
And there are sodded mounds in that land,
around which noseless steps are ever tread
ing. 1t is full of voices speaking TO us in the
busy street and in the silent night. Terribly
distinct, and every whispering tone tremulous
with tears they will be heard even amid the
steady surging of business affairs. And there,
too, is winter and summer, and the withered
leaves, too early fallen, are driven in to rustic
mournfully in the very pathways of spring
bloom. But cometh now and then, the low
rush of angel wings, and the struggling soul
lights up with the opening daybreak of the
eternal morning beyond, and at times looks
longingly for the evening sunset, which shall
hang its changing curtains forever between
the years of toll and the Sabbath Of endless
rest Cayuga Chief

A Free-stare YicIorr ia Ks,r,sns,

A fact OF great significance in the Kansas con
troversy, has just been established BY the BIac,
Republicans at the recent Spring election in the
city of Leavenworth. The Telegraph announ-
Gus it thus:
ST., LoUIs, April 18--tlenry j. Adams (Free
sstate,) has been elected Mayor of Leayenworth,
kausas, by majority OF one hundred and eish-
" over all.
The above result has too much significance
70 allow it to be passed over in silence or to eX-
cuse an early forgetfulness of it. Leayenwolth
is admitted to be the stronghold Of the pro Sla-
very men. Here has been their headquarters.
Yet this election has demonstrated the fact that
even there, the Free State men are able to tri-
umph when the Republican teeaters honestly JOIN
with them in the effort. 1t shows that the
laws Of Kansas do not prevent Free State vic
tory whenever there are votes enough to glyt
that side a majority. Hence, the preteXt which
has has been set up for not participating in tbs
election Of delegates to frame constitution fol
Kansas is shown to be all infamous humbug.-

TuE CANAL CoNTARcTs--A COMPROMISE. -
Mr.. Parsons offered a substitute for Braces bill
10 the effect that the contractors for the canal
repairs be paid as per contract for the work al
ready done, and lepudiatiug the contracts not
] ct finished. This bill has become law. We
Lave not the details but are inclined TO think it
will prove a satisfactory compromise. - Ii6m
Ii1LaiRe.
Tie law merely shifts the responsibility from
the shoulders Of the Legislature upon those Of
the Board Of Public Works, which will not act
in the premises, and consequently the compro-
mise as it is called, awaits the construction o

on at all. The contractors have all gone about
their business, and the injured honor of the
State has been satisfied with $4,000 spent il

The legislature at it's first session, not finding
sufficient business to justify them in holding an
adjourned session, conceived the idea Of ap
ponting a SMELLING COMMITTEE,' to
hunt up business and report the same to an ad-
