LITTLE ONES HEAR.-Parents and other persons, though having at heart the good of children, are very apt to be needless of what they say in the presence of the young ones, whose minds and hearts catch the hue of ey. cry sentiment expressed. They talk on and the child is seemingly well pleased in its play, but words and statements then made, come up days after when tLey have forgotten the conversation, wonderfully fresh from the child's lips. It's mind had been revolving what itheard for good or evil. Boys grow old too fast by hearing men talk among themselves A writer says: If we stopped to think how every word spoken in the presence of a child, affects it's future for good or evil, we would be more eonsiderate in our speech. It is aston- ishing how for days, children will ponder over word or sentence, which no one supposed they had ever heard, at some particular mo- ment use it themselves with horrifying effect. How an inpatient, petulant word shocks us, coming second hand from those innocent lips {! Then, alas We See and deplore its real de- formity. and realize how potent is our inau- ence over these observant innocents, n ot only at all times, but at every moment of time in which they are in our presence.

A NURSERY SONG.

Ring, ting I wish I were primrose A bright. yellow primrose, blooming in the spring! The stepping boughs above me, The wandering bee to love me,
 The fern and moss to creep across, And the elm tree for our king! Nay, stay wish were an elm tree great lofty elm tree, with green leaves gay The wind would set them dancing, The sun and moonshine glance in,
 And birds would house among the boughs, And sweetly sing! Oh, ho wish were robin robin or little wren, everywhere to go, Through forest, field, or garden,
 And ask no leave or pardon, Till winter comes, with icy thumbs, To ruffie up our wing!
 We'll, tell where should fly to-. Where to go to sleep in the dark wood or dell 2
 Before day was over,
 Home must come the rover,
 For mothers kiss, sweeter this Than any other thing. -AlIingham.

A Hundred Years Ago.

Where are the birds that sang A hundred years ago? The flowers that all in beauty sprang A hundred years ago?
 The lips that smiled,
 The eyes that wild
 In flashes shone
 Soft eyes upon Where, o where are lips and eyes, The maiden's smile, the lover's sighs,
 That were 80 long ago? Who peopled all the city's streets A hundred years ago? Who filled the church with faces meek, hundred years ago? The sneering tale
 Of sister frail,
 The plot that work'd
 Another's hurt Where, where are plots and speers, The poor mans hopes, the rich mans fears
 That were so long ago? Where are the graves where dead men slep hundred years ago? Who, whilst living, oft-times wept, A hundred years sgo?-
 By other men
 They knew not then
 Their lands are titled,
 Their homes are filled Yet Nature then was just as gay, And bright the sun shone as to-day,
 hundred years ago?

King Christian stood beside the mast, Smoke mkt with flame, Hung OCT his guns, that rattled fast Against the Gothmen, as they pass'd: Then suns each hostile sail and mast
 In smoke and flame. "Fly !p said the foe: :" fly all that can, Nor wage, with Denmark's Christian, ,, The dread, unequal game. Niels Juul look'd out, and loudly cried,
 "Quick now's the time:'' He hoisted up his banner wide, And fore and aft his foemen piled. And loud above the battle cried,
 "Quicki now's the time'' "Flyp' said the foe, ct is Fortune's rule, To deck the head of Denmark's Juul
 With Glory's wreath sublime" Once, Baltic, when the musket's knell
 Rang through the sky, Down to thy bosom heroes fell And gasp'd amid the stormy swell; While from the shore piercing yell
 Rang through the sky God aids me-" cried our Tordenskiold; Proud foes, ye are but vainly bold

You've got good horse. and can have the old chaise made quite stylish fo, l baby and me to ride in.''
 "Well, I'll send over to Hosners tomorrow and see what he'll do for il" said John. :,

 This added wings to Johns feet, and in a moment he stood breathless in the wheel wright's shop.
 "Wish you joy, my fine feller," cried honsst

 :" Four hundred? ?'' repeated John Clark agbast.
 7" Yes just look at it! You're a rich man, sir and I'm glad of it. You deserve to be- said the wheelwright, shaking Johns hand heartily.
 What do you suppose was the consternation delight, gratitude-the wild, wild joy that fill ed his heart, when he found the old chaise lined with gold and bank notes! mean the cushion the Things, and every place where they could be placed without danger or injury.
 Poor John-or rather rich Jehn-his head was turned. Itrequired all the balance of Jen. ny's nice equipoise of character to keep its ex static brain from spinning like humming top
 Imagine if you can, dear the peculiar feel ings of those kind friends who had prophesiee that John Clark would come to grief. At first old Joe Hemp proposed to take the old chaise just as it was-linings stripped, bits of clott hahg'ng-and proclaim with trumpet the good tidings to the whole village, taking espe cial pains to stop before the house of Mir S,Prlggs, and blowing loud enough to drown al the forty pianos in the universe, but that wa. voted down by Johns kind little wife.
 "La ]! they'll all know of it soon enough ' she said, kissing the baby II wouldn't t hur
 They did know of it; and few years after wards they all agreed that John Clark had real ly turnad oqt good man. So much for the old one-horse chaise.

 commenting severely upon the drunkard, and closed by warning him to forsake at once such evil habits if he would seek salvation and flee the coming wrath. The deacon then made a bow and seated himself agsin. " And now,' asked the preacher in his loudest tones, ' where is the hypocrite 2" 4 pause, but no one re- sponded. Eyes were turned upon this and

 RE-UNIog IN HEAvEN.-How short ;s tbo earthly hist ory of family! A few years, and those who are embraced in the family circle Will be scattered. The children, now the ob- Jects of the most tender solicitude, will have grown up and come forth to their respective stations in the world. A few more years and children and parents will have passed from this earthly stage. Their names will be no longer heard in their present dwelling. Their domestic loves and anxieties, happiness and sorrows, will be sold and forgotten history. Every heart in which it is written will be mouldering in the cold grave.
 And is this all 7? Is this the whole satisfac- ton which is provided for some of the strong est eeelin gs of your hearts? How car such trsnsitery beings, with whom our connection IS so brief, engage all the love We can feel ? Why should not our feelings towards them be as feeble and unsatisfactory as they? But blessed be God, this is not all. Of this He has given us perfect assurance in the Gospel l of His Son.
 Though to the unenlightened nature the ties of domestic love seem scattered into dust, the spiritual eye of faith perceves that they have been loosened on earth only to be resumed uu. der far happier circumstances in the region oi everlasting love and bliss.
