Little Promises.

1t was "Wednesday afternoon, jemmys
holiday, and he had just commenced max
ing Fred new sled. Erred was his younger
brother, fraii tender plant, who appa-
rentiy had bat few months to linger here
the idea of the possession of a sled had
so elated the pale child, he had risen long
before the sun to make plans with Jenny
about the wished for toy.
III have it painted red, Jenny, with
black letters on the side, SO all the boys
will know I'm coming oh, won't it be
nice?" And the usually dull, sickly eyes
danced with joyful anticipation of future
happiness.
"What will you call it Fred 2"
"Call it call it, let me see Red Ro-
yer? no; Goodspeed? no; Nonesuch
Yes, yes, that's it Nonesuch, for none will
be like it, F" And Fred really leaped for
10Y from his little cot and danced with over
flowing happiness.
As said, Jenny had just commenced
the sled, when Mark Warner called for
him to accompany him coasting and skating,
an enjoyment of which he was particularly
fond, and in which he would readily have
participated but for the building Of the sied

very, pleasant for Fred must have h;s sIod
1t would be more of disappointment to
him than me, so please excuse me now"
" Fie on those little promises, make a
dozen a day to Ella, never meaning to full
fl them, she forgets them in five minutes,
so it is just as well"
"A little promise is just US sacred as a
larger one in my opinion, and l had rather
never coast again than see Fred's disap-
pointed eountenance il would haunt me
for weeks. He would not say anything,
but | could not get it out of my mind"
Those are whims, Jenny, real whims,
and you'll believe it by and by. Make
yourself complete slave to Fred, now, by
performing every little act he wishes, and
by and by he will think you must indulge
larger whims, and so get complete control
of Won, soul and body,
Never fear, Mark replied Jenny,
kindly.
Well, good day TO you" said Mark, ab-
rupuy,
The next morning before Fred rose, Jem-
my carried the sled TO painters shop, and
had Nonesaeh in large gilt letters, placed
upon Fred's new sled, and carried il to his
little cot 10 welcome him when he leaped
from his bed.
Hell laugh now, won't he 2" said Jem-
my, while tear gathered in his eye, aud

possession Of the long wished for toy. He
never lost sight of it for the day, and it was
fastened to his cot at night.
But when the morning rose again, Fred
was in a raging fever, tossing aad moaning
with anguish and heat. AT intervals reason
would come, and then his Nonesuch was
reached for--t pallid, wasting arm grasped
his brothers toy, the dying lips pressed the
cheek Of kind Jem&y, and the last audible
words that fell like music upon Jemmy's
ear were, Shall you be- sorry, Jenny, to-
morrow, that you did mot coa., with Marx,
and made my Nonesuch p" When the
morrow came, Fred was shroaded for the
grave, and did Jenny redect and weep bit
ter tears that he had practiced self-dcnial
and disappointed Mark? Did he refcc,
that he had been less kind, iess attentive,
less feeling toward that invalid boy? All
little ones, think-how you would feel

We give below, the proposed Declara-
ton of Independence by South Carolina.
1t will be seen that il is the Jcffersonian
declaration faproeed q to suit the infatu-
ated notions which prevail in that slave
ridden and slave bedeviled State:
When, in the course of human events, i,
becomes necessary for cue people to dis
solve the political hands which have con-
nected them with another, and to assume
among the powers Of the earth the
separate and equal station to which the laws
of nature and OF natures God entitle them,
a decent respect 10 the opinions Of mankind
requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them TO the separation.
We hold these truths TO be self-eyident:
that although all men are created rhoHy
unequal, mentally, morally, and physically.
yet they are all equally entitled, uuderevery
civilized government, to the full protection
Of their hres, persons and property, for
which protection governments are solely
instituted among men, deriving their just
powers solely from the consent of the gov
erned; that whenever any form of govern

you may sleep in peace, for give You my
solemn word that no one shall harm you.
and not the smallest thing belonging to you
shall be disturbed" lie then went TO the
window, opened il, and whisiied softly. Re-
turning to the lady's side, (who had not
spoken or moved) he said, Now i am
going. Your prayer has been heard, and
no disaster will beiall YOU" He left the
room, and soon all was quiet and the lady
fell asleep, still upheld by that calm and
beautiful faith and trust. When the morn
ing tlawned, and she awoke, we may feel
sure that she poured out her thanksgiving
and praises TO him who had 4" defended -
her under " his wings" and "kept" her
safe under his feathers, SO that she was not
afraid of any terror by night. The man
proved true to his word, and not thing in
the house had been taken. Oh! shall we
not hope that his heart was changed from
that day forth, and that he forsook his evil
courses, and cried to that Savior, who
came to seek and save that which was lost"
and even on the cross, did not reject the
penitent thief? From this true story let
us learn to put our whole trust and conf
dence in God. This lady's courage was in
deed wonderful; but "the Lord was her de-
fense upon her right band,' and with
him all things are possible,"---Nonthiy

The Lady and the RObber.

In large, lone house, situated in the
south of England, there once lived a lady
and her two maid servants. They were far
away from any human habitations, but they
there peacefully and happily. 1t was the
lady's custom to go round the house with
her maids every evening, to see that all the
windows and doors were properly secured.
One night she had accompanied them as
usual, and ascertained that all was safe.
They left her in the passage, close TO her
room, and then went 10 their own, which
was quite at the other side of the house.
40 .ho lad, opened her door, she distinct
ly saw a man underneath her bed. What
could she do? Her servants were far away
and could not hear if she screamed for help ;
and even if they had come TO her assistance,
those three weak women we're no match for
desperate hosse-breaker. How, then, did
she act She trusted in God. Quietly
closed the door, and locked it on the inside,
which she was always in the habit of doing.
She then leisurely brushed her hair, and
putting on her dressing gown. she took her
Bible and sat down and read. She read
aloud and chose chapter which had pecul-
lar reference TO Gods watchfulness over US,
and constant care Of us by night and by
day. When it was finished, she knelt and
prayed at great length, still uttering her
words aloud, especially commencing her
self and servants TO Gods protection, and
dwelling upon their utter helplessness and
dependence upon him to preserve her from
all dangers AT last she arose from her
knees, put out her candle, and lay down in
bed; but she did not sleep. Alter few
minutes had elapsed, she was conscious the
man was standing by her bedside. He ad-
dressed her, and begged her not to be
alarmed. Il came here" said he, "a to rot
you, but after the words you have read. and
the prayer you have uttered, no power on
