Sunshine and Shadows.

1t was sunshine in the heart of those who
were assembled at that little wedding party.
1t was sunshine in the heart of the bride, no
shadow to come creeping round as she laid
her hand 50 trustingly in the hand of him to
whom she had entrusted the keeping of hes

heart as he promised to love and cherish the
gentle being at his side-'lo love and cherish
her until death should part them '-ah, per-
chance he needed not those last words, or if
he did, he saw the reality of their import on
ly far away in the dim vista of future years !;
now, in the midst of joy and gladness, he
could never think of death, Of the qrape,

and day after day she grew weaker and yet
more pale and now we have seen her once
more dressed in those bridal robes, but not as
when she wore them in the rosy month Of

The Noble Revenge

The coffin was plain one-a poor misera-
Bile, pine coffin. No flowers on its top, no
lining of rose white satin for the pale brow
no smooth ribbons about the course shroud.
The brown hair was laid decently back, but
there was no crimped cap, with its neat tie
beneath the chin. The sufferer from cruel
poverty smiled in her sleep; she had found
bread, rest and health.
81 want to see my mother" sobbed poor
child as the city undertaken screwed down the
top.
"Yor can't-get out of the way, boy why
don't somebody take the brat"
"Only let me see her one minute" cried
the hapless, hopeless orphan, clutching the
side of the charity box; as he gazed into
that rough face, anguished tears streamed
rapidly down the cheek on which no childish
bloom ever fingered. Oh! it was pitiful to
hear him cry, "only once, let me see my
mother only once"
Quickly and brutally the hard-hearted
monster struck the boy away so that he reel
ed with the blow. For a moment the boy
stood painting with grief and rage, his blue
eye disended, his lips sprang apart, fire
glittered through his tears, as he raised his
puny arm, and with most unchildish accent,
screamed, when | am a man, I'll kill you
for that"
"Therc was a coffin and heap of EARTH"
between the mother and the poor, lonely child,
and monument stronger than granite built
in his boybeart to the memory of heartless
deed.
The courthouse was crowded to suffoca-
ton.
"Does any one appear as this mans coun-
sci ?" asked the Judge.
There was silence wnen he finished, till
with lips tightly compressed together, look
of strange intelligence, blended with haugh-
ty reserve, upon his handsome features, q
young man stepped forward with firm tread
and kindling eye, to plead for the erring and
the friendess. He was a stranger, but from
his first sentence there was silence. The
splendor of his genius entranced convinced.
The man who could not find friend was
acquitted
"May god bless you, sir, 1 cannotr'
81 want no thanks" replied the stranger,
with icy GOODNESS.
"l-I believe you are unknown to me-"
"Man! l will refresh your memory
Twenty years ago you stuck broken-hearted
boy away from his mothers poor coAin.-I
was that poor miserable boy"
The man turned livid.
"Have you rescured me, then to take my
life ?"
"No, l have a sweeter revenge, have
saved the life of a man whose brutal deed has
ranked his breast for twenty ycars.-Go!
ard remember the tears of friendless child"
The man bowed his head in shame and went
out from the presence of a magnanimity as
grand to him as incomprehensible, and the
noble young lawyer felts Gods smile in his
soul forever after.

misunderstanding a Leading Sin

There is popularity in the law of the
Sabbath, as test of simple obedience, and a
temper generally right towards the Divine
government.-For obedience to the other com
mandments, reasons may be found in the oh
vious interests of society and of the individ-
ual; but this is so far from being the case
with the Sabbath, tnat of all the Ten Com
mandments, this is the only one concerning
which the question has been raised, whether
it was moral or positive This is not because
the connection between the violation of this
law and its results is less certain, but that it
is less immediate and obvious. Its sanctions
do not come directly, as when one puts his
hand into the fire. but they come according
to another general method in Gods natural
government, remotely, as in the effects upon
the social fabric, of intemporance, of licen-
tiousness, or revenge Of these, individual
instances may seem slight and alamr on ac-
count Of them may be Knocked at; yet through
them there will gradually steal in moral
malaria that will poison and blast everything
noble. Thus it is more especially with the
Sabbath. God has infallibly linked cause
and effect here; he has plainly revealed that
connection; yet the chain itself which binds
them together is often concealed, or revealed
to the eye of faith. Hence it is that Sab
bath. breaking is what has been called lead
ing sin; it is the point at which men nat
urally break away from God; and whel
that is fully done, nothing can restrain then
from any crime but the absence of tempta
ton or the fear of detection.
Under these circumstances, let an individ
ual devote the Sabboth to religious duties
public or private, honoring God and delight
ing himself in him, and he will show that re
gard to the principle of duty, as such which
will make him good citizen-a pillar o
strength to free institution. He who thu
walks humbly with his God, will do iustl,
and love mercy

Patience with Children.

One of the great prerequisites for the sue
cessful training of children at home, or in the
school-room, is Patience" Every teacher,
whether the mother or hireling, will find her
labors made easy by the constant exercise OF
this cardinal virtue. If they "let patience
have its perfect work in their own hearts, it
will be visible in all their conduct, and exert
a salutary influence upon the minds of the
young, in whose future wcll-being they feel
deep interest.
There may be hours when, perplcxed with
care and worn out with undue labor, the
mother may feel the risiags of impotence in
her heart; but let her not give way to this
baneful emotion, but nip it in the bud, before
the fruits become visible in the acts of which
she may afterwards bitterly repent Let no
unkind word or hasty blow be given in anger
lest the remembrance of 1t should prove a
poisoned arrow to their bleeding heart, when
those loving eyes are closed in death, and the
head which nestles on her bosom is pillowed
in the grave. Children are won by kind
words; but cross looks and harsh tones deter
them from seeking our sympathy or giving
us their confidence The mother or teacher
should regard the sports Of childhood as bless
ing, join in their innocent amusements, and
draw from thence some useful lesson for their
future consideration. They should learn to
look up to her as a friend in whom they can
confde, who will bear patiently with their
childish follies, aud in kindnes seek to i'm
prove whatever may be amiss in their man.
ners of morals.
But should they turn deaf ear to her
teachings, and scorn her Instructions. seeming
inclined to follow the evil promptings of a sin
full and preverse heart, she has then need of
double portion of patience to support her
in this great trial and enable her at last to
"overcome evil with good" an bring them
by force of precept and example to walk in
wisdom's pleasant ways. Be kind, be firm
and patient, and hope on till the desired re-
suit is obtained.
