hand clasped in myown, and her gentle
loving eyes, upturned to mine, listening
with me to the moaning of this self same
nlght-wind. think of that last eve of
our marriage year as the happiest-if
any one Of those seven months of our
marriage life, might be termed happier
than another-the happiest of them all.
And yet was it the last we spent togeth-
er. Perhaps, being the last, / have
recalled it oftener, and dwelt upon it
more fondly and more sadly. l recoI-
lect you then said, that our happiness
seemed too great for continuance, that
you feared that the light Of our domestic
bliss was to be oversha adowed-as others.

or, has that remembrance of those
last hours of our communion, with all
that preceded it, passed from your

for moment, that you could forget

of the past--of your childhood of little
scenes and minute particulars, that most
persons allow to escape altogether, or
but seldom recur to, it was this knowl-

stimulus, led me to wriie thus to you to-

CHILDREN.

Sporting through the forest vile,
Playing by the water side,
Wandering Ger the healthy fells,
Down within the woodland delIs,
And among the mountoins wild,
Dwelleth many little child
In the baron's halls Of pride.
BY the poor mans duh fire-siJe,
With the mighty, with the mean,
Little children may be seen;
1 Like the flowers that spring up fair,
Bright and countless everywhere.
In the fair isles of the main, st.i
In the deserts lone domain
In the savage mountain glen.
Mid the tribes Of swa rthy men
Whcresoe'er the sun hasa shown,
In the chill or torrid zone,
On league of peopled ground.
Little children may be found
Blessings on them /. they in me
Move kindly sympathy,
With their wishes, hopes. and fears,
With their laughter and their tears.
With their wonder so in.ense,
And their small experience
Little children, not alone
On this wide earth are you known;
Mid its labors and its cares,
Mid its sufferings and its snares;
Free from sorrow, free from strife,
In the world oflove and life,
Where no sinful thing has trod.
In the presence Of our God,
spotless, ransomed, glorificd,
Little children, ye abide.

however, MIR. Lyman, who has charge of the
delivery of the paper throughout the city,
will commence perfecting his list. We have
given him the names OF those who have here
tofore paid Dc in advance. They are but
few, and when their time is out they will 90
onto the carriers list.
All others will pay the carrier from this
date. and be will use bis own discretion
aboat giving credit We sell our papers for
cash, and advise him to do the same.
We consider this good time to remind
our customers Of rule OF business which
we adopted some two years ago, viz: No
credit for job work and Advance payments
(monthly or quarterly required from all ad-
vertisers- except those with whom We have
mutual running accounts.
Necessity compels as to enforce these rules
rigidly. We can't afford any longer to pay
20 per cent. per annum interest for the ben
eft OF our customers and receive none from
them.

sary Of Merhodism in the United States, il
regarded % the most fitting time for its ac-
complement. The recent National Con-
yention held BY the lay-preachers Of the
Methodist Episcopal connection in Baltimore
had the subject under consideration and took
some measures for testing its practicability.
A correspondent Of the Richmond Christian
Advocate. signing himself " A Baltinorean,"
takes up the question in vigorous and
practical manner, and submits plan initia-
tory to the development OF some scheme
which may be fraught with practical results.
He proposes the assemblage Of a Conference
OF Reunion" the delegates to which to be
elected by each and every Annual Confer
ence. so that every section and shade Of
opinion in the country shall be represented.
The delegates, to consist Of both clerical and
lay delegates. and to meet in some central
city near theborder line Of the two churches,
(say Washington and, after mature delibe-
ration and due consideration, report plan
for reunion. to be submitted to all the Con.
ferences for ratification. II the plan pro-
posed should fail to receive the approval
of two-thirds Of the Conference in the
Methodist Episcopal Church North and two
thirds Of the Conference in the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, then such plan
should be null and void, and Of no effect.
On the other hand. il is suggested that il
the plan proposed should receive the appro-
val Of two-thirds of all the Conferences of
each Church, then the reunion should be de-
clared effected according to whatever plan
the Conference may have proposed.
