Little Willie.

Some have thought that in our dawning, in oul
beings's freshest glow,
God is nearer little children than their parents
ever know,
And that if you listen sharply, better things
than you can teach,
And a sort of mystic wisdom triekle through
their careless speech.
How it is cannot answer; but l knew little
child
Who, among the thyme, and clover ana the
bees was running Wild
And he came one summer evening, with his
ringlets DER his eyes,
And his hat was torn to pieces, chasing bees
and butterflies.
"Now I'll go to bed, dear mother for I'm very
tired of play !"
And he said his Now lay me-" in kind OF
gentle way;
And he drank the cooling water from his little
china cup.
And said, gaily, When it's morning, will the
angels take me up Z"
There he lies, how sweet and placid and his
breathing comes and goes
Like zephyr moving softly, and his check is
like arose
But his mother leaned to listen if his breathing
could be heard
IS 0" she murmured, '' if the angles took my
darling at his word I"
Night within its folding mantle hath the sleepers
both beguiled
And within its soft embracings rest the mother
and the child;
Up she started from her dreaming, for a sound
hath struck her car
And it comes from little Willie. lying on his
trundle near.
Up she springeth for It strikes upon her trou-
bled ear again,
And his breath, in louder fetches, travels from
his lungs in pain,
And his eyes are fixing upward on some face
beyond the room,
And the blackncss of the spoiler from his check
hath chased the bloom.
Never more his "Now lay mc" will te said
from mothers knee,
Never more among the clover viii he chase the
bumbebee.
Through the night she watched her darling,
now despairing, now in hope,
And about the break Of morning did the angels
take him up. Ne'o Hare' I'aAad'"'''

Gen. Mitchell and the Newsboys.

1t happened once TO the writer OF this
to hear the late Gen. Mitchell address a
company of rewsboys.
Ga an invitation from his friend, Ir.
c. W. Field, he came down one Sunday
evening to attend the meeting for the
newsboys. At bis very first words 10
the lads, it was apparent he was deeply
moved. The sight Of the ragged, shoe
less, weatherbeaten little fellows seemed
to call up Immediately his own hard
struggles in childhood. Boys,' said
he, " feel when see you that am one
of you No one of YOU can be poorer
or more friendless than | was once. |
have known what poverty is !" 1t may
be imagined that with such an introduce
ton there was a death-like Stiffness
Every boys eye was fastened upon him,
and his tone seemed to vibrate TO each
ones heart. He went on to tell his story,
but with a simplicity and feeling which
it is impossible TO recall row
When l was boy of twelve years,
l was working for twenty-five cents a
week with an old lady, and | lell you /
had my hands full but | did my work
faithfully. | used TO cut wood, fetch
water, make fires, and scrub and scour
of mornings for the old lady before the
real work of the day commenced; my
clothes were bad, and / had no means
for buying shoes, SO was often barefoot
ed. One morning l got through my
work early, and the old lady, who thought
| bad not done it, or was specially i'll
humored then, was displeased, scolded
me, and said was idle and had not
worked. said had, she called me a
liar ] felt my spirit rise indignantly
against this, and, standing, erect, l told
her that she should never have the
chance of applying the word to me again.

when thus stepped out into the world.
What do you think did then, boys? ?

dressed him boldly and earnestly, and
offered TO drive the leader, if he would |
only take me on. He looked at me in
surprise, but said he did not think I'd be ]

objected. got on the horses back. 1t
was hard travelling, for the roads were
deep, and we could only get on at the
rate of twelve miles a day. This was,
however, my starting point. ] went
ahead after this. An independent spirit,
and steady, honest conduct, with what
capacity God has given meas he has
given you-have carried me successfully
through the world.
Don't be down hearted at being
poor or having no friends. Try, and try
again. You can cut your way through
if you live to please God.
| know it is hard time for some of
you. You often are hungry, and wet
with the rain OF snow, and it seems very
dreary to have no one in the city to care
for you. But trust in Christ and he will
be your friend. Keep good heart and
be determined to ma Ike your own way,
honestly and truly, through the world
As | said, I feel for you because | have
gone through it ALL know what it is.
God bless you -
The boys were most deeply touched
BY this, Shirt-sleeves moved furtively
up TO the eyes, no, used to such emotion,
and other boys found it necessary to
ahisper some very good joke to one an
other, in order to prevent any feminine
display. In thinking of his simple, feel
ing words to those outcast boys, a person
could understand the power he is said to
have had with the negroes in his speech
as. His heart was full Of compassion
He was from the people and felt for
them. Ills words Of kindness and en-
courasement to the newsboys will not
.oon be forgotten by.

A HNDoo PAPER ON THE BIBLE
The .SGjiona Rgana, a native Bengal
paper, advocates the introduction of the
Bible into government schools, describes
it in remarkable language as coming
from heather, as "the best and most
excellent of all English books, and there
is not its like in the English language.
As every joint of the sugar cane from
the root to the top is full of sweetness, so
every part of the Bible is fraught with
the most precious instructions. A por-
ton Of tina. book would yield to you
more of sound morality, than thousand
other treatises on the same subject. In
short, il anybody studies the English
language with view to gain wisdom,
there is not another book which is more
worthy of being read than the Bible"

HEAVENLY VIsIrANTs.-We need
not doubt the fact that angels whose
home is heaven, visit our earth and bear
a part in our transactions and we have
good reason to believe, that, If we obtain
admission into heaven, we shall still have
opportunity, not only to return to earth,
but to view the operation of God in dis
tant spheres, aud be his ministers in

BREvITY.-Iti is said of the three
most Influential members of the conypn-
tion that formed the constitution of the
United States, that in all the debates of
that body, no one of them made a speech
of m Jre than 20 minutes. We have good
authority for stating that Alex. uami-
ton, though reckoned among the more
diffuse orators of the day, did not occupy
more than two hours and half in his
longest argument on the trial Of a cause,
and bis rival, Aaron Burr, not more
than an hour and a quarter. A judge,
who was intimately acquainted with Mr..
Burr and his practice, confirmed this
statement, adding that within bis knowl-
odge this advocate repeatedly and sue
cessfully disposed Of cases INVOLVING a
large amount of property in halt an
hour. Indeed said ne, ION one occa
sion he talked TO the jury seven minutes
in such a manner that it took me, on
the bench, half an hour to straighten
them out He added, Il once asked him
Col. Burr, why cannot lawyers al
ways save the time and spare the pa
iience of the court and jury by dwelling
only on the most important points in
cases 2 To this Burr replied; Sir,
you demand the greatest faculty Of the
human mind, selection
He is well knownto have been one Of
the most effective advocates in his time,
and in this matter, if nothing else, he
deserves to be studied and inflated
We refer to a single foreign example,
an eminent English barrister Il asked
Sir James Scarlet says Buxton, what
was the secret of his pre-eminent sue
cess as an advocate. He said that he
took care to press home the one princi
pal point of the case without much re-
gard to the others. He also said that he
knew the secret of being short. Il find,
said lie, that when | exceed half an
hour, | am always doing mischief to my
client. If drive into the heads of the
jury unimportant matter, l drive out
matter more important had previously
lodged there We commend his method
and his reason for it, not only to minis
ters, but quite as urgently TO lawyers
and members of Congress.

LAMBS DYING FROM WooL IN THE
SToMAoH.-Lambs very frequently
swallow particles Of wool, which, in their
playfulness, they suck and bite from tn, II
dams to prevent which, the dams, when
this occurs, should be smeared with a
mixture of aloes and water, or assafetida
and water. When they swallow the
wool, and it gets mixed with the curd in
the stomach, il forms hards balls that are
indigestible; but the administration Of a
teaspoonlul of soda mixed in water twice
or thrice day, dissolves and digests The
curd, if not too far gone.
