Twas IN a vision Of my head,
Being IN the silent night
Ny second self lay BY my side,
Her angel came 70 be her guide,
And then she took her flight
Methiuks sec her passing through
Iho liquid air. The celestial blue.
And land on Canaau's shore
Sweet singing angels how they greet
And bid her welcome q scat
And join The heavenly choir
O how swectly now she sings.
Her harp Is strung with golden strings,
The melody Of grace.
Prepare me, Lord. that may 90,

And sing upon the bass.
I'm 700 unhoy and unclcan
In that bright vision to be seen,
Til grace rcfnes my heart;
The ascension gin OF Christ, their king,
Must tune my harp on every string
To bear The lowest part.
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove,
Give me a taste Of saving love-
That can freely go
Ny soul would swiftly wing away
Into the realms n endless day,
And sing h0aarnns too.

THE CHILD-ANGEL.

Death has forever closed those little,
eyes and forever shrouded their bright
gances. How sweetly she sleeps, that.
little coveted angel! How lightly curl;
the glossy ringlets on her forehead -
You could weep your very souls away
to think those eherub lips will never,
never unclose. Vainly you clasp and
unclasp that passive, darling hand that
wandered SO often over your Checks
Vainly your anguished chances strive tor
read the dim story of love in those faded
orbs. That voice, sweet rs winds Blow
ing through wreaths and garlands, Siam
bers for ever. And still the busy world
knocks at your door and viii let you have,
no peace. 1t shouts in your ear, it
smiles in your face, it meets you at the
coffin, at the grave, and its heavy foot
steps tramp up and down. in THO empty
room from whence you have borne your
dead. But it comes never in the hush Of
night to wipe away your tears! In the
solemn silence of the grave we felt the
force of the sickening sorrow which hangs.
heavily upon the heart as thosgh it
would press il down into the narrow
space in which the spirit dwells in mourn
full suspense. But a Bright vision meets
the eye. Can you look up! can you bear
the splendor of the sight! ten thousand
celestial beings, and your rselica6 chilli
angelin the midst of them
In her eyes glory bright.
On her brow glory crown.

L may recover entirely, and stand be-
fore you full of brown health, equal to the
manifold labors of that position, live to

The Sabbath is Gods special present

objects is to prolong bis life, and preserve
efficient his working tone. In the vital
system it acts like compensation pond.

to fill the six days succeeding and in tho
economy Of existence, IT answers the same
purpose as, in the economy of income is
answered by savings bank. The frugal
man puts away pound to-day and an
other pound next month, and who, in
quiet way, is putting by his stated pound
from time to time, when he grows old aud
frail, gets not only the same pound back
again, but good many pounds besides.

these waters of affection have stopped
at; l shall! not think I have gone through
"the Valley Of Bacn" in vain, nor be-
grudge the time that have fingered
there, seeming idle; rainy days also help
seed the ground. One thing / am sure
of: | have learned the wealth and pow.
of the grateful, generous feelings of men
and knew them not before, nor hoped on
earth to find so rich. High as / have
thought of Human Nature, had net
quite done justice to the present growth of
these beautiful faculties. Here and now,
as SO oft before, l have found moro treas
ure than l had dreamed lay hidden where
/ looked.
But if mother of these hopes becomes
fact, if the silver cord part soon above the
fountain, and the golden bowl be- broke.
let not us complain; new bowl, and
stronger cord, shall serve the Well of Life
for you. Though quite aware how pro-
bable this seems believe me, l have not
yet bad single hour of sadness; trust
me, | shall not. True, it is not pleasant
to leave the plow broken in the farrow
just begun, while the seed-corn smiles in
the open sack, impatient to be sowny and
the whole field promises such liberal re-
turn. To say Farewell to the thousands
have been wont to preach to, and pray,
with, nowjoyous, and fearful now-it
has its bitterness to one not eighty -four,
but fortyeight. To undo the natural ties
more intimately knit Of long continued
friendship and of lcve,-this is the bitter
part. But if it be my lot let not you,
nor me complain. Death comes 70 none
except to bring blessing;it is no mis-
fortune to. lay aside those well-lovedi
weeds on earth, and be immortal.

Mr.. ED1roR:-As religious subjects
are often discussed in secular papers,
please allow me room in your columns
for few remarks.
Efforts are occasionally made to prove
that the Government of the United States
is christian In its character. The Pres
byterians, as Is natural, labor most in
this department of reconcile invsSt CATION.
Protesting to hold certain doctrines and
to sustain certain relations to reformed
ancestry, they cannot rest as quietly as
others do, in supporting institutions that
make no acknowledgement of Christ or
the Bible. A late attempt of this kind,
we find in a speech delivered before the
Paris Evangelical Convention. by one of
the members of that denomination.
His object was to demonstrate the
christianity of the government of this
country. He refers in proof to our eccle-
siastical institutions, to our benevolent
aud religious associations, and to the state
and federal constitutions, laws, and prac-
tees: all of ahich is very plausible and
well adapted to deceive.
I admit that there are christian people
and christian institutions here, and much
alrns-giving. But there remains another
question. Is the constitution christian
Is the administration christian!
This is a very different matter, and yet
both people and government are mixed
together in the remarks alluded to, as if
the christianity ofthe former being estab-
lished, that of the latter must follow. II
indeed, Protestant christians were ali in
rtelligent and scriptural in their creed, sim
,cere lovers of Christ, and witnesses for
His glory, we might adopt, with some
precaution, this kind of argument. But
how stands the case? Do Protestants
generally wish q christian government

tutian which so expressly recognized the

tons / answer in the negative. Nine
tentlis of all Protestant churches in this
country would answer in the negative.
Indeed, it is their boast that the institu-
tons of the UAited States are not chris
tan; &C.. that they have dealt so Literally

PADDY,S RETORT.

A decent looking Irishman, stopping
at hotel to warm himself, inquired of
the landlord, ''What was the news?"
The landlord, disposed to run ris up
on Paddy, replied
''They say the devil is dead"
''And' sure" quoth Pat, ''that's news
indade."
Shortly after, Pat stalks up to the bar,
and, depositing some copp3rs, resumed
his scat.
The landlord, always ready for Gus
toner, asked him what he would take.
"Nothing at ALL" said Pat,
"Why did you put down this money!

THE GOLDEN HAND.
BY JOHN J. PTATT.

Frora out the citv's heat and dust
A Golden Hand is ever thrust,
Uplifting, from spire. on high
a golden finger in the sky.
see it when the morning brings
Fresh tides of life in living things,
And the great world awakes behold
That Quiet Hand in morning gold
] see when the noontido beats
Pulses of fire i'll busy streets
The dust les in the flaming air
Above that Golden Hand is there.
see it when the twilight clings
Around the earth with rosy wings:
Flushing with the last fluttering ray
That Golden Hand remembers Day.
The midnight cornes-thc holy hour
The city like giant flower
Sleeps full of dew. That Hand, in light
OF moon and stars, how strangely bright
Below in many noisy street
Are toilng hands and striving feet.
The weakest risc-the strongest fall
That Golden Hand is over all
Below men wage the war of Trade,
Fortunes d lost and fortunes made
The rich the poor their slaves enthraH
That Golden Hand is over III !
Below, in courts to guard the land,
Gold buys the tongue and binds the hand ;
Stealing in Justices scales the gold,
That Golden Hand above, behold
Below, the Sabbaths walk serene
With the great dust of Days between
Preacher. within their pulpits stand,
And over all that Golden Hand
The week-dust, in the crowded air
Below, arises never there:
Like one whose language cannot speak
That Hand makes Sabbath all the week.

OF his word that men of every sort, Jews
Pagans, Papists, Iufdels, Deists, seorners
and scoffers, Socialists, and every kind Of
people, are just as eligible to Office as
the best christian.
This being so, what ground for the pa
rade of the christian character of the
government of the United States?
l should like to give the entire speech
to which have alluded, but must be
content with stating few of his argu-
ments. He says that the federal law
protects religious worship and ecclesiasti-
cal property. 1t is q sufficient answer to
say that the same law protects the ldola-
tries of Popery and the scandals of Nor
monism. The fact is, christian worship
is not protected as christian at all, but
merely as an existing thing, without any
regard to its Author or its character. 1t
can claim nothing from the law which is
not granted to the teaching of the doc
trines of devils. What nonsense to base
upon such protection an argument for
the christian character of the government.
The speaker was again at fault in say
that no man can enter upon office with
out swearing by Almighty God to dis
charge its duties. Men may barely af-
firm. and when the oath is administered
it is only solemn mockery of God
Also his argument in behalf of the laws
regarding the punishment of profanity
which reach only to its grosser forms and
may fairly be adjudged a dead letter.
The time was when they meant some
thing, at the present time they are little
more than relic of that olden time that
our Progressives have long discarded as
an age of ignorance and bigotry.
He owns that tho name of God is not
distinctly mentioned in the federal con-
stitution, but implicitly it is there. The
first statement | admit, the second | deny.
The name of God was not even an omlss-
ion, but was designcdly left out, as can
be shown by the writings of Luther Mar
tin and Benjamin Franklin. Martin says
that the subject was debated and the rec
oonition of God was refused. Did they
nut into the constitution by implication
what they formally voted out? Alas! the
constitution of the United States knows
no God!
And yet the speaker had the boldness
to say that to call this an intidel nation
would be great misnomer. L do net
say that this is nation of inidcls, for 1t
contains many real, and still moro pro
Tossed believers; but if the adoption OF
constitution which has no reference to
God or the Bible constitutes an intidel
nation. then this is one.
Now all such talk as that which have
been commenting on, is like that OF the
false prophets of old who cried ''peace'
peace" fattered their country in her SINS
and so did their part in ripening her tor
the certain Judgments of God.
