GIVE Us THIS DAY OUR. DAILY
BREAD

p
In miserable cottage at the bottom of
hill, two children lowered over smonl-
dering fire. A tempest ragged without
fearful tempest, against which man and
beast were alike powerless.
A poor old miser-much poorer than
these shivering children, though he had
heaps of money at home-drew his ragged
cloak about him, as he crouched down at
the threshold of thessmiserable door, He
dare not enter for fear they would ask pay
for the shelter, and he could not move for
the storm.

II guess so; let's pray Our Father, and
when we come that part, stop till we get
some bread"
$50 they began, and the miser, crouch
ing and shivering, listened When they
paused, expecting in their childish faith to
see some miraculous manifestation, hu-
man feeling stole into his heart; God sent
some angel to soften it. He had bought a
loaf at the village, thinkin it would last
him great many days; but the silence Of
the two little children spoke louder to him
than the voice of many waters He OPEN
ed the door softly, threw in the loaf, and
then listened to the wild, eager cry of de-
light that came from the halffamished little
ones.

The storm passed; the miser went home.
A little flower had sprung up in his heart
it was no longer barren.
In few weeks he died, but not before
he had given the cottage, which was his, to
the poor laboring man.
And the little children ever after felt a
sweet and solemn emotion when, in their
matinal devotions, they came to those trust

We have received pamphlet copy Of that re-

True History of Deacon CHESS Distillery," which
is now being republished and Illustrated by Thos
Hamilton, at 48 Beekman ST.. New York. 1t is
scathing article, Astounding in the fire and hammer

for a paper called the Salem Landmark" pub
ished at Salem, Mass, where DR.. Cheever, then a
young man, was engaged in the ministry. 1t pro-
duced great sensation at the time and the whole
fraternity were in arms about it. Cheever
was arraigned before court of justice The re-

W0MAN'S PERCEPTION OF CHAR.
ACTER.

A lady will look servant who comes
to be hired in the face, and say he is not
honest. She cannot tell why she thinks
so. She says she does not like his ex-
pression-she .feeis he is not honest; no
consideration would induce her to take him
into her service. He has the best of char
acters, and you engage him; he robs you
you may be quite sure he will do that.
Years after, another man comes. The
lady looks him in the face, and says he
too is not honest; she says 50 again, fresh
from her mere instinct, but you also say he
is not honest. You ny, remember / had
a servant with just the same look about
him three years ago, and he robbed me.
This is one great distinction of the fe-
male intellect; it walks directly and un-
consciously, by more delicate insight and
a more refined and more trusted intuition,
to an end to which mems minds grope
carefully and ploddingly along. Women
have exercised a truthful outline which
knowledge is apt to assume in the hands
Of direct scientific observers and expert
mentors; they have prevented the casting
aside of a mass of most valuable truth,
which is too fine to be caught in the ma
terial sieve, and eludes the closest question
ing of the microscope and the est-glass-
which is allied with our passions, our feel
ings, and especially holds the fine bounda-
ry line where mind and matter, sense and
spirit, wave their floating and indistinguish-
able boundaries and exercise their complex
action and reaction. Poems and Essays

VERY CoNsIDERATE.-Old Parson B
who presided over a little flock in one of
the back towns in the State of M,
was without exception the most eccentric
divine we ever knew. His eceentricities
were carried as far in the pulpit as out of
1t. An instance we will relate:
Among the church members was one
who invariably made practice of leaving
ere the parson was two-thirds through his
sermon. This was practised so long that
after while it became matter of course
and no one save the divine seemed to take
notice of it. And at length told brother
Z. that such thing must be needless, but
Z. said at that hour his family needed his
services at home and he must do it never
theless. On leaving church he always
took a roundabout course which, by some
mysterious means, always brought him in
close proximity to the village tavern which
he would enter, "and thereby hangs a
tale"
ParSon B learned from some source
that P.'s object in leaving church was to
obtain DRAM" and he determined to
stop his leaving and disturbing the congre-
CATION in future, if such thing was pos
sible.
The next Sabbath, Brother P left his
seat at the same time, and started for the
door, when Parson B exclaimed:
Brother j. Z"
p, on being addressed, stopped short
and gazed toward the pulpit.
Brother p" continued the parson,
there is no need Of your leaving church
at this time, for when passed the tavern
this morning l made arrangements with
the landlord to keep your toddy hot until
church was OUT
The surprise and modification of the
brother can hardly be imagined

VERY OBLIGING.-A tradesman was wait
ed upon in his shop by superbly attired
female, whom he politely addressed, and
desired to know what commands she wish
ed to honor him with. The lady after
lifting the veil, which hid not unhand-
some countenance, intimated in a style cor
responding with her dress, that hearing
there was vacancy in the gentleman's
service, she desired to be engaged by him
as housemaid.
The gentleman stated that his better
half" was at their residence in the suburbs.
The following dialoge ensued:
Servant-girl lin querulous and dissatis-
fed tone -" Then you reside in the coun-
try-that would be so inconyenient."
Gentleman" But then we could re-
move to town"
Servant-girl. -"And the washing, am
given to understand, is done at home,
which / don't much like"
Gentleman" But then we could give
them out"
Servantgirl.--"And are there any chill
dren?"
Gentleman" Twelve"
Servant-girl Tin great excitement and
halt inclined to faint -" Twelve childrenp'
Gentleman" But then, to oblige you,
we could drown few of them?"
The lady servant turned upon her heel
and swept away from the premises with the
air of Cleopatra.

A WISE REBUKE.

The following annecdote is related OF
the late excellent Joseph John Quincy, of
Earlham, by one of his family circle:
Gone night l remember it well, | re-
ceived severe lesson on the sin of evil
speaking. Severe l thought it then; and
my heart rose in childish anger against
him who gave it; but did not live long
enough in this world to know how much
mischief child's thoughtlcss talk may do,
and how often it happens that takers run
off the straight line of truth. S. did not
stand very high in my esteem; and ] was
about to speak further of her failings of
temper. In few moments my eye caught
a look of such calm and steady displeas-
ure, that stopped short. There was no
mistaking the meaning of that dark, speak
ing eye. 1t brought the color to my face,
and confusion and shame to my heart. L
was silent for few moments; when Jo-
seph John Quincy asked, very gravely-
''Dost thou know any good thing to tell
us of her ~
81 did not answer, and the question was
more seriously asked
"Think, is there nothing good thou
canst tell us of herr"
"Oh, yes, | know some good things;
butt
Would it not have been better, then,
to relate those good things, than to have
told us that which would lower her in our
esteem7 Since there is good to relate,
would it not be kinder to be silent on the
evil ? for charity rejoiceth not in iniquity."

BY JOHN D. BAGwELL.
Rejoice, We fathers in Israel
Ye mothers in Zion, weep for joy!
Awake, We sons Of Judah, and sing
Ye daughters of Jerusalem, shout
Shout To Zion hath returned
The ransomed of the Lord!
Years hath ye wept
Bitter tears MORNINGS and lamentations
From thine affairs have ceaselessly flowed
For thine that were not.
Thou didst not cease to mourn in hours
OF thy most dark and dire distress;
Thy voice vast heard amidst the thunders
Of false brethren, high above the
Thick gathered clouds. Thine Amounted
Head appears unscathed amidst
The fierce ightnings of thy foes
Harp of Zion, sing
Lift up your voice on high, ye saints
Of God Shout, ye redeemed Rejoice
And sing, for Zion, united Zion, is free
Rejoice npon the walls, We watchmen-
Rejoice, and proclaim the tidings ofjoy.
This day, in union sweet,
The brethren dwell in amity!
Rejoice The morn of thy deliverance
Has come; the sun of peace
In Joy descends thy cloudless sky,
To guide thy feet in holiness.
Rejoice, o Zion.
May naught be heard within thy walls
Save the whisperings of that voice
Whose soft tones bid thee still rejoice
In faith, and hope, and truth, rejoice!
Ye people, rejoice!
Give thanks and praise to God
To the eternal Father, Son, and Spirit
Infinite Onein Three, essential Three in One
Be glory, praise, dominion; power,
Now and foreyermora.
Shout Lift thy voice on high,
Inhabitants of Zion
Shout the word of the Lord,
Of union and love. Zion, rejoicel
