The late eloquent and learned Rev.
DR.. Rice excelled in the fervor and unc-
tion of his prayers. In his congregation
was an aged negro, very pious and very
excitable, who would alway shout "A

length, became quite annoying to DIR.

Finally, the Doctor told him that his
shouts disturbed the congregation. who
was not accustomed to them; and If be
could restrain them it would be great "a
vor. The good negro was shocked to
learn that he had disturbed any one, and
faithfully promised silence in the future
But it happened the very next Sunday
that Doctor was unusually earnest in his
supplications to the throne of Grace.
He fairly wrestled in prayer. In tho
gallery as usual, sat Caesar, writhing
sympathcttically with the emotion he
could not suppress, and would not Mt

RECIPES.


From Godey's Lady's Book.)
For Cleaning White Marble.-Halfa a pound
of pearlash, one pound of whitening, half a
pound of soft soap: all to be boiled together
until quite thick, and put on the marble
when nearly cold. 1t must remain on for
twentyfour hours, then be washed off with
soft water, and afterwards polished well with
linen cloths. Spirits Of turpentine for black
marble.
4 Good Black Ink. TO ono gallon of soft
water, add ten ounces of Aleppo gals; add
four ounces ZACH Of gum Arabic, and vitriol
The gals should be well bruised, and the
mixture allowed to stand a fortnight, being
well stirred every day. Two ounces of white
sugar improves the glossincss of the ink,
and render it fit for copying.
10 Clean Ladies' Dresses, etc. from Paint.
We can confidently recommend the use OF
Benzine Collas or benzol to remove paint
marks, the only objection to it is, that some
what disagreeable smell remains; but few
hours exposure to the open air soon causes
this to disappear.
An Excellent Furniture Polish.-Put into
bottle one pint of linseed oil. half quart
ern of spirits of wine, half quartern of
vinegar. and one ounce of butter of antimo-
n.y. Mix all together, shake the bottle well
before using it.
10 Preserve Steel Pens from Corrosion.-
Dip them for few moments in ether 1al So
luton of gold. This covers them with
film Of pure metallic gold which prevents
the ink acting upon steel.
Earwigs.-These troublesome insecte may
be enticed from the ear, into which they may
have crawled, by placing bit of apple (of
which they are very fond) on she outside.
Glue made tate,prOof-Soak glue in wa
ter till it is soft, then melt it in linseed oil,
assisted with gentle heat. This glue is not
acted upon BY water or damp.

the valleys, over the meadows, in the
woods, and along the brook. When old
enough, give them heap maguifying
glass, and let them, see the exquisite
delicacy of form and structure aud tints,
and the dependence of each part upon
the other, and all Upon the soil and
shower and the sun, and 30 trace the
whole to the wisdom and benevolsnes
Of Him who formed and produces them

Little Ones in BED.

A row of little faces by the bed-a row Of
rosuish eyes all closed-a row of little naked
feet exposed. A gentle mother leads them in
their praise, teaching their feet to tread in
heavenly ways, and takes this lull in child
hoods my tide, the little errors of the day to
chide. Then tumbling headlong into wait
ing beds, beneath the sheets they hide their
timid heads, till su,nber steals away their
idle fears, and like peeping bud each face
appears.
All dressed like angels in their gowns Of
white, they are waited to the skies in dreams
of night, and Heaven will sparkle in their
eyes at morn, and stolen graces all their ways
adorn.

The Domestic Opera.

Since the night that Ike went to the opera,
he has been, as Mrs. Partington says as era

been fearful lest he should become 'nonpom-

the opera, at the breakfast table, Ike reached

ment hestated. He continued in a far more

She gave him the tea with q sigh, as she
saw the excitement in his faco. He stirred
it in silence, and in his abstraction took three
spoonfuls Of sugar. At last he sang again.
Table cloths, and cups and saucers
Good white bread and active jaws, sir.

All right, steady never clearer,

But, Isaac persisted the dame. Ike
struck his left hand on the table, and swung
his knife aloft in his right looking at plate
upon the table, singing
What form is that to me appearing?
Is it mackerel or is it herring?
Let me dash upon it quick,
Ne'er agan, that fish shall kick
Ne'cr again, though thrice as large
Charge upon them, Isaac, charge!
Before he had chance to make a dash
upon the fish, Mrs. Partington had dashed
tumbler of water into his face to restore him
to 'conscentiousness 1t made him catch
his breath for moment but he didn't sing
any more at the table, though the opera fe-

THE SEQUEL.

Our readers have all heard the story
of sosping the clergyman's tin horn at
camp meeting-so that when he went to
call the congregation together he blew
the soft soap over his brother clergymeu
and how be exclaimed:
Brethren, have served the Lord
thirty years, and in that time have new
er uttered profane word, but I'll be
d--d if l cant whip the man that

Our readers, we say may have all
heard this. but have perhaps, never
heard the sequel, as given to us yerter-
day, by gentleman present.
Some two days after a tall sworthy,
villainous looking desperate, strolled on
the grounds and leaned against tree,

repent, which was being made by the
preacher. After while he became in

BY J. WILLIAM Won NAEEE.


"There Is sweetness in tear
That flows from genuine sympathy,
Which nought this side the tol b can give
In such transcendent purity"
Oh, yes, sweetness beyond expression
but how seldom-how rery seldom tear is
shed in genuine sympathy. There are but
few true hearts upon the earth, and they are
widely scattered. Self-interest and self-love
are the ruling motives Of almost every act
Many feign sympathy, but few really feel it;
and when from among the hundreds-nay,
thousands of cold, selfish, unsympathizing
hearts, we find one true-one who will shed
tear in genuine sympathy, there is indeed
transcendent purity in that pearly drop. 1t
should be priced above the choicest, most
costly gems. Its caskct should be the inmost
chambers Of the heart.
The great rush and race to reach tho goal
Of wealth and position, makes the heart sell
fish and impcnetrable. The man of business,
whose whole mind is centred upon the acqui-
sition Of gold, "has no time to sympathize
Ills" Oh, no, he cannot afford to loose day,
an hour, or even moment. 1t will add no
gold to his Golfers and he presses on through
life, hardening his heart to every tender and
holy emotion and if perchance misfortune
overtakes him, lie looks in vain for sympathy
and assistance from those he had called
friends; they turned from him as he has
turned from others, and leave him alone in
his misfortune and sorrow. He will at such
a time be able to appreciate word spoken
a tear shed in sympathy but he sighs in vain
for the blessed boon. Oh, sympathy is a
balm to the tortured heart lit is jewel be-
yond comparc-a flower dropped from the
garden Of Heaven. Yes
"There is a sweetness in the tear
That flows from genuine sympathy
a sweetness only those who have felt its holy
influence can appreciate.

The flower I see, do not see,
Unless within my mind
Are airy flowers of poesy,
Waiting to be defined.
The words Of wisdom unto me
AS foolishness appear.
Unless that ], unconsciously,
Am wise before l hear.
The minstrel's sweetest melodies
All vainly, vainly ring,
Unless he practiscs the tunes.
Which l in silence sing.
Beauty is not quite beautiful
Even in the fairest face,
Unless it be the interpreter
OF spiritual grace.
Whatever things are best, imply
Something themselves above;
If love could speak its tenderness
1t were no longer love.
All hopes, all dreams, all soft delights,
Would perish at their birth,
But that we know them to be hints
OF joys beyond the earth.
