Fanny FERNS Sunday.

Sunday morning again. How many pleasant
breakfast tables it looks down upon. No need to
hurry away TO office, store or counting room.-
Fathers come leisu ely down in dressing gown and
clippers, and sip their coffee without danger Of
choking. They have time to look round and sce
how tall the children arc growing and that moth
ing in this world ~ beautiful n rosy baby
fresh from slumbcr. Mother, too. has the girish
smile that comes not often ON week day, orlf 1t
does father has not time To notice it, and that
perhaps, after ALL is the reason it comes 40 seldom
1t is pleasant, after eggs and coffee to sit comfort
ably down by the fire. the centre OF ring OF hap
py faces and hear the church bells chime. Time
enough yet to 20, for this is the first bell.
Church bells are not to my car e an impertinen-
&C." One is free agent. sm free to 80, which
/ like to do; you free to stay, il you prefer |;
though may think you make mistake. l don't
say that should go every Sunday to hear q man
who is always binding doctrines together like bum
dies Of dry sticks, and thrusting them at bis yaw-
ming hearers. want to hear a sermon that any
poor soul who stragges into church, from any by
lane or alley can understand, and carry homo
with him to his cellar or garret ; not sermon
thatcom on chariot wheels, but afoot, and with
u warm life-like grasp for'every honest-aye, and
,lishoncst-hand in tho assembly, defnulter or
Magdalen, for who bade you slam Heavens gate
in their faces? .t'
want human sermon. l don't care what
Melchisedeck, or Zerubbabel, or Kerenhappux
and want somebody beside theological book
worm to tell me-somebody who is sometimes
tempted and tried, and is not too digni6ed To
own it; somebody like me, who is always SHINING
and repenting; somebody who is glad and sorry,
and cries and laughs, and eats and drinks, and
ranfs to fight when they arc troddon on-and
don't! That's tho minister for me. don't want
spiritual abstraction with stony ,eyes and petr-
fed fingers, aud no blood to battle with; What
credit is it to him to be proper? How can he un-
derstand me? We're there only such ministers in
the pulpit, wouldn't 60 to church either, because
my impatient feet would only beat tattoo on the
pew floor till service was over;but thank God there
are! and while they preach shall 60 to hear
them, ndcoms better and happier for having
dono it.
So pray you don't abolish my Sunday, what
ever you may do with yours. Don't take away
my blessed Sunday breakfast when all have time
to love one another. Don't take away the Sab
bath bells, which 80 love to hear. Don't take
away my human minister. whose God is no ty-
rant, and 81 better pleased to see US 90 smiling
home from church, than bowling our head ike
bulrusb and groaning back to our dinners tall all
YOU i-Sabbatarians arelmad to abolish Sunday
and no wonder,

For the Spirit of the Age.

Seek not for the pleasures, that pail on the
taste.
Unreal and transient they vanish away,
So aeeting they pass, DER life's dreary waste,
A moment they %ilatter, then sink to decay.
No seek for the Joys, that never will fade,
Evergreen, ever living, they flourish in youth;
More lovely they bloom, in life's gloomy
SHADE
More unGlding and pure in the region of
truth.
Alexander, who claimed to have conquered
the world,
And wept that no others were left to subdue;
Like the child, whose bright bauble, to atoms
is hurpd,
Ever grieyes for the old, till supplied with
the new.
Excuse the plain simile' found in these lines,
And believe it the Offering of friendship and
love f.;
Not designed e'er to sever the band hat N
twines,
Daring pilgrims who journey to mansions
above.
Earth never can give the rich treasure thai
lies,
Rich, lasting, and true only found in thu
skies. A FRIEND.

I'll steel my heart, 10 more a slave
TO beauty's power or passions wave,
I'll press with vigor on the way
That leads where glory sheds its ray.
] from my thoughts will proudly fling
Aught that inpedes, that round them cling;
Excelsior" is my battle cry,
Upward and onward still PIl fly.
If there's an idol in my soul,
That yields it not to fame's control,
I'd rudely tear away the bane
Nor leave behind a whitening stain.
No more, the peerless beauty shine,
And angels forms bright, fair, divine,
Fer wrest from me a single thought
Nay, for Golconda's wealth be bought.
My spirit wings the realms of space,
"And reyels in its pride of place )"
And longs but for some ~mightier sphere
Pent by these narrow confines here.
Like someferce burning star that'shurled,
And shoots along a fiery world,
I'd leave a trail to mark the road
That leads to glory's bright abode.

Little Graves,

Sacred places for pure thoughts and
holy medltations, are the little graves in
the church yard. They are the deposito-
rios Of the mothers sweetest joys-half
unfoldcd buds of innocence, humanity
nipped by the FIRST frost Of time, ere vet a
canker worm Of corruption had nestled
among its embryo petals. Callous, indeed,
must be the heart Of him who can stand
by a little grave side aud not have the ho-
Hest emotion of his soul awakened to
thoughts of that purity and joy which be-
long alone to God and heaven {; for the
mute preacher at his feet tells Of life begun
and lite ended without a stain and surely
If this be vouchsated to mortality, how
much purer and boiler must be the spirit.
ual land, enlightened by the sun of infinite
goodness, whence cmanated the soul OF
that b,ief sojournment among US? How
swells the heart of the parent with mourn
full joy while standing by the earth bed o.
lost little ones? Mournful because aswee
treasure has been taken away-ioyful be
cause that precious ewel glitters in the ola
dem Of the Redecmer:
fe weeping parents weep no more;
Your little treasure lies
Entomb'd securely; till the voice,
or Jesus bids him rise.
Look far beyond this world let not
The eyes Of faith grow dim
Your babe will not return to you,
But you can 90 to him.

FOR TEE GMLLDREN.
I'm afraid I've told a Lie.

I'm afraid I've told a Lie.
n true little girl was Nelly Dawson ;
this was seen in her face for
Thought nor feeling that's not true,
Meier made less beautiful the blue,
Unclouded heaven Of her eyes"
She was accustomed to speak the exact
truth for she had been taught to do so.
Her parents did not rely upon nature to
give her sincerity, any more than to give
wheat to their fields, or roses to surround
their house. Her mother did not deem it
enough to insure good children to let them
ALONE, and forbear to plant evil she we'll
knew that good must be planted seasonably,
and nourished and cherished with tender
vigilance.
When Nellie was very little, she came
one day with a very sad face to her mother,
saying, Mother, Pm afraid I've told a lie
why do you think 50 my dear" asked
her mother.
Because said she, when Fanny asked
me if there were any pears under the big
tree, | told her no but when Nora went
out to get some for tea | went with her
and we found two beautiful ones on the
ground
They might have fallen after you were
there
Il guess they were there then, for they
were under the leaves of the current bush
and | should not have seen them if i
hadn't been for Nora. Was it not wrony
for me to say there was none there
'Yes, it was wrong for you to say Ger
tainly there were none there you SHOULD
have said you thought there were none
but it was not lie unless you wished t.
deceive her
Il am very glad, then, but 1 am sorr,
to make mistakes, | suppose it is not quit
right to make mistakes is it
Not to make them carelessly /; and
is very wrong to have a positive habit;
way Of thinking that we cannot be mist;
KEN
Thus, with the fear of falSehood as til
greatest Of evils, Nelly's soul became thi
delightful spectacle a mirror of truth 1
crooked, indirect, feigning and aFectt
ways were hers. She knew that when 81
came into the spiritual world, her Ii
could not utter what in her she thougI
not and that the thoughts and feelin
arc there seen in their true light, and
shame and disguises worn here but dr.
the spirit to the atodo of the wretched.

Like the immortal Dan Tucker, I am al
ways behind the time. If there is a girl
to be /" stolen Cat a camp-meeting for in

to be about. If there is any kissing to be
done, Cat a camp-meeting, for instance y
l am always behind the time. Will this
do, Mr.. Editor, for a preface to some
" notes'' which I've been "takin %
Well, once upon a time, a report got out
that | was, with a pretty gal going to
elope one night. But now it came to pass
that there was several chaps hankering
around Miss --, aud when they heard
that l were going to " steel her" "a report
that would have pleased me better had it
been true and com to pass as anticipated }
there arose a general Auttering among
them, and fear and CONSERVATION reigned
throughout all their ranks. But to their
disappointment-like the posterior appen.
dage of the animal seen by Pharoah in his
dream, | was Just behind.
Another report, [ am told, was current
on this occasion, and being that "reports'
begin to be the order of the day, [ will
make a " note" of it. 1t is said that abou
this time somebody was discovered tryinl
to whisper in somebody's ear, and by mis-
take placed his lips to her mouth, whic'
like fire applied to a campheme lamp caus
ed an explosion attended with a repor
similar to that produced by putting pop

me with the theft don't? This kiss wit
which [ am charged, like all other GOO
things, was about three weeks ahead Of m
BY some means or other | was out of tt
way that time.
In conclusion, I would say to my goo
young friends-instead Of watching

WASN'T I THERE Too.-At a recent
election in this State, lad presented him
self at the poll to claim the benefit of the
elective franchise.
Feeling a deep interest in a favorite can
didate, the father, who was>evidently OPP
posed to the boys preference, stood at the
ballot-box and challenged his right to vote,
on the ground of his not being of age. The
young man declared that he was twenty.
one years old, that he knew it, and insisted
on his right.
The father, becoming indignant, anc
wishing, as the saying is, to "bluff him off,
before the Judges, said
"Now, Bob, will you stlnd up there an
contradict me? Don't [ know how Of,
yon are? Wasn't | the,e?"
Bob looked his contempt for the Of
mans speech, as he hastily replied:
