THE LITTLE WHITE ANGEL.

Some children stood in group before the
door of the village school house, one lovely
summer evening.
They were all talking pleasantly together,
from Cline, the son oil the rich and proud
HoIneister, to the little blue eyed Carl, the
only son OF the poor baker.
IL is very true that Kline wore q velvet
Jacket, richly embroidered, while Carl's
coat was old. and his wooden shoes were
rough enough in all conscience. But what

A crimson flush rose to the little boys

his breast small corn testament, pressed 1t

with the rest-as he said in low, sweet
voice, My mother-dcar master, says that
Gods precious Testament is far beyond all
earthly possessions
.'Tis thine, my Carl, cried the master,
snatching the boy to his breast. The
white angel is thine f! for there is nothing in
the wide world half so precious as the bless

Kline knit his brows, and gazed with an

and the rest seeing him do this felt themsel-
yes aggrieved, but suddenly the cloud clear.

he caught Carl in his arms, crying For.

All the blessed effect OF bright exam
pie Quickly joining hands, the children
danced joyfully around the little Carl, who
stood in the midst, the white angel pressed
to his heart-his hair falling in curls on his
shoulders and his eyes full of holy tears.
The good Master Friedrich also wept for
joy, and prayed from the depths Of his pure
vnd simple heart, that the Savior would
bless this lesson to the children's everlasting
good. He had turned away, that none
might perceive his tears.
But One in Heaven saw them, Master
Friedrich.

CIVILIZATION AGAINST BARBARisN.
The noise and dust of the conflict may
hide the real question at issue. Europe
may think, some of us may, that we are
fighting for forms and parchmsnts, for SOW
ereignity and flag. But really, the war is
one of opinions; 1t is civilization against
barbarism 1t is freedom against slavery.
The cannon shot against Fort Sumter was
the yell of pirates against the DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE; the pdr-ery Of the North
Is its echo. The South, deiying Christian

this conflict clears away, the world will see

in light, four-and.thirty stars for her dia-
dem, broken chains under her feet, and an
