"What a striking Providence :" The man
has been in the habit of studying half the

Did Providence cut him off? The evil
rarely ends here. The diseases Of the
fathers are often transmitted, and a feeble
mother rarely leaves behind her vigorous
children.
1t has been customary for some of our
young ladies TO walk in thin shoes and
delicate stockings in mid-winter. a
healthy, blooming young girl, thus dress

and death. "What a sad Providence ~

or her oBn folly?
\ beautiful young bride goes night az

marriage. She has a slightly sore throat,

but she must wear her neck and arms

evening dress? She is suddenly seized
with inflammation Of the lungs, ard the
grave receives her before the bridal day
is over.
"What a Providence ~ ezclaims the
world, 'cut off in the midst of happiness

the thread of life herself?
\ girl in the country, exposed to our
changeful climate, gets new bonnet in

A BOY STRUCK BLIND FJR BLASpHENY.

The Brighton (England) O6serrer re-
la;es a case where the vengeance of the
Almighty was visited on youth named
Richards. The youth was thirteen years
Of age, and had been playing for some
time with bis companions, when dispute
arose between them as to the "notcbes"
Richards had scored. lie declared that
he had made moro than twenty, and his
opponents protested that he had not made
so many. High words and bad language
were freely used on both sides, Each
boy accused the other Of falschooI, aud
at length Richards, falling to convince
his companions of the truthfulness of lis
statement, few into rage and emphali-
cally shou ted, 'iMay God strike ne blind
if | haven't made more than twenty
He had scarcely uttered the adjuration
before he let the ''dog" fall out CT his
hands, and, throwing ~ lis arms, cx-
claimed, och. dear, l cannot see" His
companions ran to him, and finding what
he said was true, at his request led him
home, where, on examination. it was found
that thick film had oyerspread each Of
his eyes. In this miserable condition the
unhappy youth has remained ever since,
and we are informed that there is little or
no prospect of his sight being restored.

Four hundred thousand gallant men
From city, mountain side, and glen's
Beneath our banner tr0i;
For love of country firmly stood.
And scaled the Union with their blood.

By millions loved and lost;
A sea of agonizIng tears
4 waste of desoIatcd years,

While we forget the griefs and fears,

Forget to ask-what got We, then,
For such host Of gallant men.
Peace came On futieEing silver w;nsss,s--
With freedom by her side
In pity God looked down to save,
To stop the slaughter Of the brave
''Yet, still, untaught, the pride
That lightly holds the boon, even when

And jumbled words, and crooked creels,

And truths eternal themes,
And-laste We to give power again
To those who slew the gallant slain.

And lie who smil es, is He who saves,
And all that heca'onb of graves,

THE FOURTH OF JULY AND THE SOUTH

IF the late rebels have become loyal to
the Government Of the United States,
ard devoted to the Union, why did they
not celebrate the Fourth Of July as Of
old? That Gay is the birthday of the
nation-onc peculiarly appropriate to be
celebrated by all who really have any na-
tional love and pride. But, thro ughout
the whole South, with the exception Of
the ever-faithful, ever coutemned colored
citizens, the late national anniversary was
almost entirely uno5served. This fact
speaks volumes. Its true explanation is
to be found in the character Of the great
doctrines Of the Declaration CT Indepen-
dencc, which are tie foundation Of the
Union, and which it was the express work
of the rebellion to discard. bIr Ste
phcns openly affirmed in his great ;'eor-
ncr stone speech. What do the people
think Of putting superior political power
into the hands of the rebels who are not
yet sufficiently reconstructed TO celebrate
the Fourth Of July!
