The QUIET WORKINGS OF NATURE.-The fol-
lowing from the pen of B. f. Taylor, of the
chicago Journal, is beautiful description OF
the noiseless working of that Providence "whose
ways are not our ways"
What blessed order of nature it is, that
the footsteps time are inaudibe and noiseless
and that the seasons of life, like those of the
year, are so indistinguishabIe, brought out in
gentle progression, and are so blended one with
the ether, that the human being scarcely knows
except from faint and not unpleasant sensa-
ton, that he is growing old
30 day steals into night through the GRIM
son curtain of twilight. So the golden gates o.
dawn swing round noiseless as the portals O.
heaven. Even the beat of the heart is muffied
that we may not know how fast it struggles out
from the building of the oak to the rolling O
me world, there is no clank of the machinery
Ihere Is no noise save of hapless waves, or tn,
rent air groaning with the lightning bolt, or tn,
puny cries OF insects or men, in all this world o
ours. The past is dumb, the future silent, anc
the present makes but slight ripple, like th
trailing of steamer on quiet sea-"

Das% During the first settlement of the town
of Crawfordville, Georgia, the native place of
Alexander II. Stephens, a leading member of
the present Congress, the Commissioners passed
an ordinance prohibiting any juggler from op-
Grating within the corporate limits without the
payment of certain license. Before many days
the marshal presented to the honorable board of
commissioners juggler who bad refused to pay
his license. When asked how he knew him to
be a jugglery he replied, "Why, he's got cart
load of jugs right down here now"

PARODY.

The following, on Leigh Hant's beautifi|
lines Abou Ben AdheDy"-s am ezsaisi1
parody:
Abel McAdam-may his tribe increased
Awoke one night from sweet dream of peaf
And saw, within the gas light of his room,
female spirit, dressed up in Bloom
Err writing something in book of gold
Exceeding drink had made McAdam bold.
And to the presence in the room he said,
"What writest, dear?" The spirit raised
head,
And with a voice like that of cooing dove,
Murmured "The names Of men uhom comen loreI
=" And is mine one? ~ asked Abel. "No, sir-eeI
Replied the spirit Abel roared with elee,
Then coolly said, Sweet sprite, write me {
one,
Who neer finds fault with what womaI1

The Bloomer wrote and vanished but n
night
1t came again with great Weakening light.
And showed to him the names by woman bles

LostILostiLostI

Just after breakfast, a few days since, we
were startled by the basty tolling of the court
house bell as if for FIRE. Every one rushed out
into the streets but it was seon ascertained that
the bell was tolled for a lost child, not fire. "a
child lost" The announcement sent pallor to
every cheek, q tremor to every heart, and tears
to many eyes. Parents thought Of their own
little ones, and rejoicing that it was not their
child, fastened to join in the search. The me-
chanc left his shop, the merchant his goods
only one thought filled every mind, "a child
lost" Arrangements were made for thorough
and speedy examination Of every place the child
could possibly have reached. No pains or
trouble were to be regarded-"we must find the
child, was the universal sentiment. Just then,
the little fellow was bought in from thecountry,
whittier be had gone the night before without
the knowledge of his parents.
What joy we all felt when he was found
How thankful that he was not wandering away,
exposed to the bitter cold and the driving snow
And with what sensation of relief We returned
TO our homes, rejoicing over a " child found"
Do you not hear that knell ? 1t tolls for lost
soul-a soul wandering ON the dark mountains
of sin, lost to all good, to God, to Heaven. 1t
may be the soul of your parent your child,
your brother or your wife-wi, you not hasten
to the rescue? Perchance the erring one may
be reclaimed and led back to the fold of Christ.
Nngels in heaven may rejoice over him q who
was lost and is found" Hasten, ere it be too
late, to show the wanderer the only path that
can lead il to happiness and TO Heaven.
/ 1t may be your own soul is lost-wandering
! far from God-and every moment in danger OF
I eternal death. Christ is seeking you. He came
to seek and save the lost--lsten, and you may
hear him calling you Answer that call {; follow
the sound of that voice, and you may reach
Heaven. But neglect it, wonder on, and still on
in sin refuse every call of love and mercy, and
you will at last wake up in despair, to echo
through the long, long ages of eternity the wall
of the ruined soul.-Lost lost lost l-Old Pa

AN AwFULLY THRILLING CIRcUMsTANcE-Ar re-
cent number of the London Morning Star con-
tains the following:
a most painful scene occurred at Hartford on
Tuesday, the 18th, towards the close of the pro-
ceedings of the Harttorshire election. Just after
Sir E. L. Bulwer had concluded his address with
a fervent tribute of admiration to the womanly
beauty exhibited in the long line of open carri-
ages, chaises and vans drawn up in front of the
hustings, there was an unwonted stir in the
crowd, which parted to admit of the passage OF
a hired brougham from one of the town inns
The carriage having stopped, two ladies alght-
ed, one of them an extremely handsome woman
of about forty-fye years of age with fresh COM
plexion, and with eyes of dazzling beauty. The
lady, who was evidently laboring under excite
ment which exercised all her powers to control
advanced as nearly as she could through the
crowd towards the hustings and announced her.
self as the wife of the Right Hon. Sir E. c. Lyt-
/ ton, stating that she had come according to a
/ promise made by her to confront her husband
and to expose the wrong which she said he had
inflicted upon her, and which she had described
| in her works and in pamphlet published by
| her.
! Recognised as soon as observed, her voice
was nearly drowned by the shouts of Sir Ed
wards supporters but Sir Edwards eye caught
hers, and his face paled. He looked like man
suddenly attacked by paralysis. Those near
him say he trembled exceedingly. For few
moments he retained his position in front of the
hustings, but turned his back on the unwelcome
visitor. Then he suddenly disappeared below
the hustings platform, while his wife cried
'coward," and he having hastily signed the
usual declaration escaped into the residence of
the gentleman on whose ground the election
took place Lady Lytton continued to address
the audience assembled for more than a quarter
of an hour, repeating her statements in her
pamphlet and asserting her intention to con-
front her husband on every possible occasion
until she compelled him to redress her wrongs.
Her ladyship subsequently made an application
to the Mayor for the use of Town Hall, for the
purpose of making public statement: but this
being refused her, she left the town early in the
afternoon.
