The Lord Will Provide.

A poor but pious widow in Boston, in
her eighty-seyenth year, said to a
friend, "Whcn ] was left widow with
three little children, l was brought in
tosuch extremity that they were crying

to the Pacific. The Presiden, will adj
vocate. in his next message, its immedi-
ate construction, which is proof positive
that he will oppose it stteauously next
year.

Death in Childhood.

How true and exquisitely beautiful
is the following impressive passage,
which is taken from the Dublin Uni
yersity Magazine:
"To me, few things appear so beau
tiful as q very young child in its shroud.
The little innocent face looks so sub.
timely innocent and confiding amongst
the cold terrors Of death. Crimeless
and fearless, that little mortal has pass.
cd alone under the shadow, and explo-
red the mystery of dissolution. There
is death in its sublimest and purest
page; no hatred, no hypocrisy, no sus-
picion, no care for the morrow ever
darkened that little face; death has
come lovingly upon it, there is nothing
cruel or harsh in its history. The
yearning of love, indeed, cannot be
stiiled; for the prattle, and smile, all
the little world Of thoughts that were
SO delightful, are gone forever. Awe,
too, vii! overcast us in its presence,
for we are looking on death, but we
do not fear for the lonely voyager; for
the child has gone, simple and trust
ing, into the presence Of its all-wise
Father; and of such we know is the
kingdom of heaven"

The United PRESBYTERIAN Church.

The United Presbyterian, the organ
of the church in Pittsburgh, thus speaks
of the late union between the Associ-
ate and Associate Reformed branches
of the Presbyterian Church:
"Our local Synods have been all or
ganized, have transacted what business
was before them and adjourned. Har-
mony seems to have prevailed in all
the Synods. Not a word uttered to
wound the feelings of the most sensi-
tive, and what was of more Importance
at present. not word betraying a
want ofmutual confidence among breth-
rem, nor disregard to our common
doctrinal bond of Union. Enemies
may prophecy and utter fearful fore
bodings, friends may be faithless and
Iistrustful, but we trust that our union
is in spirit, and in truth, and that we
are no longer two hands, but Judah
and Ephraim become one"

WILL CASES,

The Providence Journal discourses
on this subject as follows:
Hardly newspaper comes to us
nowadays that does not contain an
account of some important will case.
Either the probate is opposed or some
questions are raised under it to defeat
or modify its provisions. 1t is getting
quite rare for will that disposes of a
large estate to be quietly approved,
and the property distributed without
litigation. 10 great extent we know
this must always be the case where a
large estate is depending. The disap.
pointed do not easily surrender long
cherished expectations. No matter
with what care the testator may consult
and employ the best legal talent, the
chances are more than even that his
estate will be in the law. We have
seen it stated and believe it to be a
fact, that London conveyancer, emf.
nent in his profession, after accumula-
ting an immense fortune, drew his own
will and it was ultimately broken.
Three different views are already
taken of the will of the late Thomas
Lloyd Halsey, of Providence, as to
where the real estate shall go. Choate,
Curtis, Payne, Hart, Jenckes, Currey,
and Wood, we observe as lawyers al.
ready in the case to urge the different
constructions. The large residuary
estate of the late James D'Wolf, now
divisible by the expiration of the TWEEN
ty years named in the will, is before
the supreme court upon bill of the
trustees for Instructions as to the dis
tribution. Curtis, r. w. Greene,
Jenckes, Payne, and Hart, are lawyers
already in the case to assist the court
in finding out tho meaning of what the
testator undoubtedly thought he had
made very plain. The happy or the
unhappy possessors of large estates can
avoid a part of the evil by overseeing
a part Of the distribution in their life
time.

ROMANTIC ATFAIR-How A Young
WIDOW WAS DEoEIvED.-A correspon-

Quite a romantic affair occurred in

ther of pretty daughter of Is sum.
mers,) by some means became acquain-
ted with ayoung carpenter, who, altho'
a fine looking man, was in rather poor
circumstances. The carpenter visited
the lady's residence very frequently,
gallanted her to church, the theatres,
&C., scarcely ever paying any marked
attention to the daughter, who some
times accompanied them. Madame
Rumor with her thousand tongues,
soon noised it about that tie carpenter
and widow were about to be made one,
and his friends congratulated him on
the prospect he had of so shortly being
able to chang up his hat" The wid,
ow, too, was complimented by her ac.
quaintances, and in fact she began to
think that the thing would take place
although the carpenter had not, as yet,
popped the question" With the craft
naturally possessed by "widders,' she
threw out hint to her gallant at his
next interview, and from this hint he
took it for granted that she was any.
thing else than ayerse to matrimoni-
al union with him. He thought it was
time to act, and undeceiye the lady,
which he certainly did, and astonished
her too, for the next morning he eloped
with the daughter! This set all the
gossips in the neighborhood going, and
they one and all pronounced it "scan-
dalous." The girls mother, however,
being woman Of sense, takes it philo,
sophically, and has forgiven the young
people, who are now domiciIed at the
family residence. She gives her daugh-
ter credit for the shrewdncss she ex-
hibitcd in her courting, and also the
carpenter for his discretion in picking
of the two, the youngest and the pref
tiest.

BEES AND HONEY.

Two rather remarkable phenomena
of instinct among tho boes have lately
been discovered in England. "A farm.
cr's man found bees hive in hol.
low tree, and drew from it three pals
Of honey, which he took home to his
masters house. 1t was placed in the
dairy; and the next day great num-
ber of bees were remarked in and a
bout the house. The honey was all
carried OF again by myriads of bees.
A gentleman purchased a quantity of
honey in the comb from village tailor.
In this instance the bees followed their
own hard earned savings and carried
it off again.
INJURIOUS JUVENILE ADJUSTMENTS.
An Edinburgh paper recounts that
fine boy about 9 years of age, few
days ago, SO injured his back by at
tempting to accomplish the feat of
standing on his head, that death termi-
mated his sufferings on Sunday even
ing.
a singular instance of the absence
of reflection in boys, occurred lately in
England. Some four or five were at
play, and it was proposed to bury one
to see at what distance he, the buried
one, could hear their shouts; accord
ingly hole was dug and a boy Of II
years, laid in it; one offered his pock-
et,handkerchief to prevent the earth
from getting into his mouth, which was
folded and laid over his face, then the
earth shovelcd in upon him. This fin
ished, the others ran away to shout.
a woman crossing the field, observed
foot protruding and spade lying
near, with which she served herself to
extricate the body, when she discover
ed it was that of her own son, but life
was already extinct.
Another boy Of ii, working at a
smiths, saw neighbor of his own age
come and put his eye at hole to peep
in, upon which he poked red hot iron
through the hole which entered the
boys eye and extinguished it forever,
but inflammation of the brain has cnsu.

Sleeping after Dinner.

This habit, which is becoming so very
popular in this country, and particular
ly so with young persons, is an excee-
dinghy perni;ious one. In our climate,
the stomach does not perform its func-
tons during sleep, except with slow
ness and difficulty; if it be heavily
loaded, it remains in somi.torpid con-
dition until the sicsta is fnised. The
result of such daily torpidity is indi.
gestion, or some one Of the thousand
different forms assumed by the hydra,
dyspepsia. In hot countries the action
of the digestive organs is much easier
than here, and sleep, unless very sound
impedes the stomachic functions but
very slightly, if at all. The siesta is,
therefore, a natural and proper thing
for the tropics, although totally map
propriatc to the Uniced States.

Here is perfect gem from one of
DR.. Mackay's recent "Transatlantic
Sketches" published in the London
Illustrated News:
Away again through the eternal pine

railway is as straight as an arrow IS
flight or mathematical line; and we
have to travel for thirty hours without
0ther'stoppages than an occasional ten
minutes or quarter of an hour for break
fast or dinner. The country is unpic-
furesque, the railway the reverse Of
comfortable, and sleep, if wooed, is
difficult to be won in "cars," or carri-
ages where there is no support for the
back or the head of the unhappy trav-
tler; where there is not even place

brella, or bag; and where about sixty
persons of all ages and conditions in
life, including half q dozen of young
children, and at. least twenty people
who chew tobacco and spit, are closely
packed in an atmosphere deprived of
all moisture and elasticity by the red
heat of an anthracite stove that glows
and throbs in this locomotive den. Be-
hind the stove, and on the side of the

nag. Tho CONGREGATIONAL Journo

Gsan The Congregational Journal
mentions the case Of man who, few
months ago, became a hopeful subject Of
divine grace, and united with the Con-
gragational church in an agricultural
town. Though farmer of limited
means, he solemnly devoted young
horse to the Lord soon after his con-
version. He sold the animal for $40,
which the editors Of that paper had
received, with instructions to divide it
between the Missionary and Bible
causes. This is the more remarkable
of the power Of religion
upon the heart and life, from the fact
that he was never known to pay any
thing before, either for the cause Of be-
nevolenco or the support Of the Cos
pei.
