the mourning mother into the shaded par
lor Death had not even kissed the fresh
ness from the lips of the sweet child.
Death, as if he had no power to mar such
loveliness, had not drawn one blue tint
along the marble temples, or under the
closed eyes Death had not stolen one
line of beauty from that heavenly FACET
smiled in spite of death.
ooh, Antoinette! dear little Antoinetter'
sobbed the strong man. You found me
in ignorance, and blessed me with those
holy hands; they were the first pure fin
gers that touched me with the touch OF
love, and made my buried heart throb with
new life. Oh, little Antoinette! you were
the first one to lea me to my Savior; on
your infant breath my name was first car
ried up to Christ. 0, my lamb! canst
thou not look down upon me, and see me
bend over thee, blessing even thy mani
mate clay? But the tomb cannot hold
thee, my darling; thank God! the tomb
cannot hold the infant disciple. Already
is she up therew he cried, lifting his stream
ing eyes. "The brightness of Thy glory,
O Lord God of Hosts! falls upon her tenn
pies. She hath led souls to Thee, mighty
Redeemer, ,and Thou wilt giver her crown
of life"
He ceased, and bowed his head upon
the coffin. What Grafton before crowned
monarchs ever reached the sublimity OF
this mans offering over dead form of a
little child? He had been converted
through her ministrations, and since his
entrance into the Gospel ministry he count
ed those who believed on Jesus, through
his faith and his ministry, by hundreds
and he laid his trophies in the name of Je-
sus beside the gentle child who had taught
him Christ.
Reader, 1 have not written fiction. The
dust of the child has slept in the green
graveyard, where the flowers are spring
ing today, twenty-three years. Twenty
three years she has been seraph in glo-
ry. Twenty-three years she has looked
upon Jesus, her Savior and her Redeemer.
Oh! what do you and I seem beside this
beautiful seraph? Though we drink Of
the fountains of earthly wisdom, we cannot
attain to tithe of that divine knowledge
that fills her cup of bliss this day. Twen-
ty-three years in the presence of the Lord
of Life, going up and down the steps Of
light, walking and talking with angels
pure, consecrate, holy!
And may not you and | win some stars
to our crowns of eternal rejoicings

otherwise peaceful communities, originate
from the use of alcoholic stimulants.
A great point will be gained, if hired
men can be brought to feel an interest in
the success of the farm. Sometimes a
good way to procure this would be the Of
fer of extra pay, provided the amount of
the crops could be brought beyond the av-
erage yield, so that each would feel a per-
sonal interest in doing his work well. 1t
would take very little calculation to show
that several bushels per acre might be add
ed to the product of each field, by better
blowing and more careful cultivation OF
the growing corn or other crops. The sub
ject is certainly worthy of careful consid-
Grafton, for most farmers are, to quite an
extent, dependent upon the labor of others.

THE CHILD ANGEL.

The Nelson Hotel was the largest and
most fashionable house of resort in town
on the sea shore, popular watering place,
famous in the annals Of the wealthy. 1t
stood not far from the brink of the sound
ing sea, and commanded prospect Of sur
passing beauty.
Among the very select few who came
here for the purpose Of invigorating and
improving health were young couple by
the name of Hayden. Harriet, the' wife,
was an interesting woman, not yet thirty,
with a quiet, gentle manner, and voice
whose every tone was music. She was a
New England woman, Of Puritan extrac-
ton, and a sweet, practical Christian. But
the sweetest creature in this beautiful group
was Antoinette Hayden, child of three
years She was not in hounces, or laces,
or ribbons. Her little limbs were unfet-
tered by fashion, and had the freest play;
her ways were all natural; her walk, and
talk, and play, as child's walk, and talk,
and play, should be.
Loose Ben was an uncouth caricature of
a human being of some sixteen years of
age, slOuching in his dress, dirty, some
times ragged, bearing all the jibes put
upon him with sullen mein and stoical ST.
lence. Loose Ben shuffled, looked suspi-
ciously at everybody from under his eye
brows, shrank from every human voice,
never seemed to care whether they called
him fool or knave, and only cared to gath
er his loose limbs together in some sunny
place after services were over for the day,
and think-what could the poor outcast
think2 He was a German, and possibly
never knew his parentage; he would not
say whether he had any father or mother.
1t was his duty to make fires in the rooms
of those who were invalids, in the early
morning, and for this purpose the father of
little Antoinette employed him; for though
it was summer time, yet the chill air of the
sea made the earl morning raw and cold.
So, with an armful of wood, Loose Ben
wended his way to No. Sc, large room on
the second floor AS he entered, Mr. Hav-
den glanced up from his dressing table,
and followed his lazy motions with his eye
for a moment. Little Antoinette sat on
the floor by the bedside, half covered with
the lace curtains that fell like spray over
her spiritual face and figure. She, too,
looked on earnestly, suspending her play
for moment, and then, as his labor pro-
gressed, she stood by his side. He gazed
toward her, and seem paralyzed into great
er stupidity at her sweet smile. She did
NOT mock INN, scream out, or spring from
hIm, as other children did, nor call him un-
feeling names; but as she stood there with
sanity light on her brow, she laid one
white, dimpled hand on his ragged sleeve,
and with winning voice asked: aDoes YOU
love God 7"
He was too much startled for the mo-
ment to speak, but the great, shining eyes
6eamed into his lack. lustre orbs, and again
that voice of surprising beauty asked:
Does you love GodY" He looked up, he
looked down, awkwardly, and in his broad
"Ya-as."

BY r. sTORRs WILLIS.

At times seemed approach the veil,
That slightly parts this life from scenes of air
And, through the wayy folds, methinks | hear
The rustic of the robes that angels wear!
At times, across this coarser ear of earth
There comes the rush of swift, aerial things
l catch the pressure, slight, of parted air
l feel almost the touch of azure wings
A midnight voice, at times, with yearning sigh,
Startles from sleep the heart, that owns its spell
1t tells that soon the loving meet again,
And seems t. recall that last, that long farewell
Not far we wander from tn Eternal Halls!
Some voices 1cU stray out to mortal sense =
Some fragmentary music scapes to earth,
From the abodes of peace and innocence!

LINGER NOT LONG.

Linger not long Home is not home without
thee,
Its dearest tokens only make me mourn
Oh let its memory like chain about thee,
Gently compel and hasten thy return.
Linger not long
Linger not long! Though crowds should WOO thy
staying,
Bethink thee-can the mirth of friends though
dear,
Compensate for the grief thy long delaying
Costs the poor heart that sighs TO have thee
here
Linger not long
Linger not long How shall watch thy coming,
As evenings shadows stretch DER moor and fell /;
When the wild bee hath ceased her weary hum
ming,
And silence hangs on all things like spell
Linger not long
How shall | watch for thee when fears grow
stronger,
AS night grows dark and darker on the hill
How shall l weep when I can watch no longer
Oh art thou absent, art thou absent still
Linger not long
Yet / should grieve not, though the eye that seeth
Gazeth through tears that make its splendor
dull;
For, oh | sometimes fear that thou art with me,
Ny cup Of happiness is all too full
Linger not long
Haste, haste thee home unto thy mountain dwell
ing,
Haste as bird unto its peaceful nest!
Haste as a skif, when tempests wild are swelling
Flies to its haven of securest rest
Linger not long!
