There is a pretty little saying. which,
il not very common, is, am sure, very
true--it is this: II we speak kind words,
we will lear kind echoes
How is this. and wha, does il mean. |
fancy / hear youthful voice exclaim.
Well. l will show you. III could take
you all a, once TO deep valley between
two high hills. or put you in some nook
between lofty mountains. or il l could
place you in boat on the elonely wster Of a
quiet lake. and then bid you to shout your
name with all your might. you nigh. hear
il repeated once. twice, aye. and several
times. growing fainter and fainter each
time, till il died quiet away on your ear.
You might think that you had only spo
ken. and yet several seemed Calling
Surely it is some one mocking but no
it is only yourself. with your own little
voice doing it all so there is no need IL
be offended. You see what u wonderful
power you have Of making yourself heard
This, then, is the echo. God ha, kindly
made all these wonders, and they ought
10 teach us a useful lesson, If we would
only think about everything we see and
hear. Kindness is like sweet, soft echo
if little children speak loving words to
each other, loving words come back to
them and, il they do kind actions, Kind
actions come ack again.
Isuppose mus. add a ,itlle tale by
way Of illustration (: SO here It Isl:
There was once little gill at school in
France great NANNY years ago. and she
was walking out one day with her com.
panious in some beautiful public gardens.
1t happened that poor soldier was there
Oh duty, and no, being able 10 leave his
post, he begged The young ladies to bring
him little water. The companions,
however. needed him not. except to say
how exceeding impertinent it was for a
common soldier to speak to them. The
little girl, however. had a kind and tender
heat, and could not think OF leaving a
fellow.crealure in want, when she might
assist him. She therefore ran and pro.
cured some water, her companions. in
the mean time, deriding her for doing so
When she brought it to the poor soldier
he could not utter half his gratitude, III
was so surprised and thankful but h'
asked her name and address, and theI
she went away
Not many days alters dreadful massa'
ere took place in that city. OF all the Pro
testants, but the little girl was saved
and how, do you think ? The poor sol
dier had no, forgotten his benefactress
the kind action had gone deep. even int
the heart OF one accustomed to scenes Q
bloodshed. and the little girl felt the gla
echo amidst the sad desolation and glool
Of he even,ful day.
J Now go and practice my sto:y, des
children ; let your lips brearlh forth onl
gentle tones and words. and be ready
all times to do an act OF love and kindne,
toward any human being. .....
Speak gently ris little word.
Dropping in the hearts deep vel
, The love, The joy, il may bring,
i Eternity will tell.

In a national sense, he is an enemy to

ny that has trampled upon liberty 10 his

upon him for the purpo sc Of crushing him

OUTWARD BOUND.
By KATE CAMERON.

From the shining strand Of childhood.
Ships went sailing long ago.
Laden with the richest treasures
Which my heart can over know;
Thoughts us pure ns morning dow drops,
Fancics like tho rainbow gay,
Dreams MS sweet as fairy music.
Hopes us blitbe as birds Of May;
But though have long been searching
Youths lost treasures nevcr found;
And I sent forth other ventures.
But they oil are outward bound.
Outward bound, across Tho ocean.
Which so many leagues is spread
Not ripple on the water.
Marks the track on which they sped;
Yainly watch | for their coming.
vanly scan the swelling main.
Aud fear those fairy vessels
Will not greet my gaze again;
When call there s no answer.
Echo only mocks tho sound.
NOT sail on the horizon
For they oil were outward bound.
None come tack with golden cargoes,
Mono with tropic fruits appear,
From the islands where Life's noon It'd,
Makes summer all the year;
Soon the shades of night will gather,
Sron Lite's sky be overcast,
Aud thon, looking to tho Future,
! shall half forget the Past.
When my bark shall loave its moorings,
When ]. too. am outward bound,
In etcrni,y's calm Heaven,
NV lost treasures shall bo found

That the New York mob WAS the pro.
duct Of a conspiracy having its root
ameng the Southern Secession's,s, is
clearly seen. Meade's victory checked
for few days the intended demonstra.
ton. On the Fourth Of July a trai,orous
poster was thick on The walls Of New
York. OF which the following are extracts:
"The people Of the Southern States
have, Of their own consent, established
separate Government, sustaining it for
more than two years, with remarkable
unanimity and devotion, under circum.
stances Of great difficulty and trial.

dilions and our principles, deny that REQ.
