she saw her son engaged in reading sto.
ry book.
''No, mother, and I don't want to, for
it is grammar lesson, and hate it."
"Oh, dearP' exclaimed Mary, II wish

THE SABBATH.

Sidney Smith pronounced the following
sonnet, one of the most beautiful in the
English language -
with sacred awe I hail the sacred morn,
Which slowly wakes while all the fields are still
soothing calm on every breeze Is b~sne.
A graver murmur gusges from the rill,
And echo answers softer from the hill,
And softer sings the linnet from the thorn
The sky lark MARBLES in tone less shrill,
Hail Hight serene; Hail sacred Sabbath morn.
The rocks float silent by in airy droves;
The sun placid yellow lstre shows;
The gales that lately sighed along the groves
Have hushsd their downey wings In sweet repose
The hoverug rack VI clouds forgsts TO move;
So smiled the day when the first morn arose.

How TO KEEP HIM.-Mr. Longworth the
patriarch of Cincinnati, in a letter to the Pion-
Ger Association, among other "reminiscences of
the early days in that city, tells the following
story of Brother Richardson, Methodist cler-
gyman:
II remember well listening while he prayed
over a cluster of convicted sinners gathered
around him. There was among them one
who was rather hard case, for his religious
experience consisted wholly in climbing up
Zion's hill and then sliding down again back
ward. The preacher had got tired of him, it
seems, and in closing his prayer considered his
particular case in the following language 20

bodily from among US, or he will certainly be-
come backslider and go to HE'LL Unluckily
for the subject of it, the prayer was not grant

AposrRoPHE TO A GONG.
BY DAVID BARKER.

BY DAVID BARKER
They say, old Thunderer, that away in China
Some thousand miles, the other side of EARTH
Where tea is grown, beyond the ocean briny
Near the big ancient wall thou hadst thy birth
II true or not, the one who gave thee breath
Ought to have lived until he starved to death.
Perhaps that Chinaman once kept an inn,
And was Shylock and hardened sinner
Who, for the sole and naked thirst for ''tin,'
Conspired to cheat his guests of half dinner
And so the old, penurious, wicked sprite
Invented thee to kill the appetite.
Strange that the love of gold and power oferror
Should propagate upon the human brain,
And proffer birth to such child of terror
progeny that fills the world with pain
An instrument of woe, that only serves
To furnish torture for the feeble nerves.
fear there is a hell our Bibles teach it,
And reason, conscience say the Bibles true,
And lettered priests in every nation preach it,
Except modern, theoretic few
Insurance agents, peddlng out for hire,
Sham policies against eternal fire.
But in those dark, and foul, and burning regions
Where direful noises echo loud and long,
There is no sound sent forth by hellish egions,
One-halfso horrid as thy noise, oh gong,
For wild and fearful though their howlings be
They are to thine perfect symphony.
