FIXEDNESs OF PURPOSE.

When child is learning to walk, if you
can induce the little creature to keep its
eyes fixed ON any point in advance, it will
generally navigate to that point without
capsizing; but distract its attention by word
or act from the object before it, and down
goes the baby. The rule applies to chill
dren of larger growth. The man who
starts in life with the determination to reach
a certain position, and adheres unwavering-
ly to his purpose, rejecting the advice OF
the over-cautious and defying the auguries
of the timid, rarely fails, if lhe live long

Tears were in the eyes of the wife and

Resolved the right cause to maintain;
With hearts true and constant, whatever may

We firm as the rocks will remain
For the right for the right here unfinching We

EVENING. PRAYER.

"Our Father"
The mothers voice was low and ten der,
and solemn.
"Our Father
On two sweet voices the tones were borne
upward.
1t was the innocence of reverent chill
dren that gave them utterance.
"Who art in Heaven"
Who art in Heaven" repeated the chill
dren, one with her eyes bent meekly down,
and the other looking upward, as if she
would penetrate the heavens into which her
heart was aspiring.
Hallowed be thy name"
Lower fell the voices of the little ones.
In gentle murmur, they said,
"Hallowed be thy name"
"Thy kingdom come"
And the burden of the prayer was still
taken up by the children.
"Thy will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven" filled the chamber.
And the mother continued
"Give us this day our daily bread"
"Our daily bread" fingered moment

"And forgive us our debts as we also
forgive our debtors"
"And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil"
"Eor thine is the kingdom, and the pow
er, and the glory, forever"
Amen"
All these holy words were said piously
and fervently by the little ones, as they
knelt with clasped hands beside their moth

the wings of prayer to their Heavenly Fa-
Their, came back again and rested on their
earthly parents, warmer love came gush-

Pure kisses-tender kisses-the fond
"good night" What a sweet agitation per-
vaded all their feelings. Then two dear
heads were placed side by side on the
snowy pillows, the mothers last kiss given,
and the shadowy curtains drawn.
What pulseless stiffness reigns without
the chamber. Inwardly the parents ears
are bent They have given those innocent
ones into the keeping of Gods angels, and
they can almost hear the rustic of their
garments as they gather around their
sleeping babes. A sigh, deep and tremu-

BY JAMES M'CUNE SMITH.

In that sad autumn-month Of 1857, when
the commercial panic had reached its height,
and when New York city seemed the cen
hal vortex Of disaster-not only Of the
United States, but of the civilized world
there were two occurrences in singular
contrast with the frightfully excited state
of the public mind To the few who had
the heart to look out Of doors, out of doors
never looked more lovely. The air was
balmy and of delightful temperature, the
sky was cloudless, the sunsets beautiful
and never since the world began threw a
more gorgeous hue over mountain and for
est Of the American landscape. We con
fess to some sympathy with that gloomy
state of the public mind-not that we had
any golden argosy in stocks Or shares which
went down-yet there was the coming
winter, and possibly, wan cheeks and sup
PEERLESS beds to those dearer than life But,
whatever gloom we felt, was one day sud
denly dissipated by the glorious out Of
doors" which had smiled and beckoned us
many a day unheeded, and which, now no
longer to be kept aloof, told us of the
goodness as well as the glory of the AL
mighty. We thought then, and we think
now, that had the men of God, instead of
improving that dark hour with pictures of
darker sins and darker vengeance, and a
more fearful Judgment to come, had they
simply pointed to the earth yielding hey
abundance, and TO the air charged with
health, and the sky filled with the smile Of
God, and said to their alarmed people,
"Peacel be still" there would soon have
been an end of all panic; cheerfulness
would have resumed her sway; and many
a grave would have yet remained untitled
and the sadder gates Of our institutions fol
the insane, would now hold some thousands
fewer within their portals.
While men in Wall-street surged to and
fro, under impulses they no more under
stood and could no more govern than the
iron waves in the bowling storm while
men in Broadway and other streets ada
cent the masters suddenly arrested in their
golden dreams of enormous profit, and the
workmen sadly folding up their implements
Of labor; and while the poor, frantic with
an unknown dread, rushed to the Savings
Banks,* or gathered in bread mobs in the
distant parks,-iu the midst Of this social
hurricane, there was one house in Broad

matters Went on
Calm as summers sea-

mountains that no breath of air could reach
