TAKE MY HAND, PAPA.---In the dead of the
night am frequently awakened by little
hand, stealing out the crib by my side with
the pleading cry please take my hand,
papa !"
Instantly the little boys hand is grasped
his fears vanish, and, soothed by the con
sciousness of his fathers presence, he falls
into sleep again.
We commend this lesson of simple filial
faith and trust to the anxious, sorrowing
ones that are found in almost every house
hold. Stretch forth your hand, stricken
mourner, although you may be in the deep
est darkness and gloom, and fear and anx-
ious suspense may cloud your pathway
and that very act will reveal the presence
of loving, compassionate Father, and give
you the peace that passeth all understand
ing
The darkness may not pass away at
once night may enfold you in its cold
embrace, but its terrors will be dissipated,
its gloom and sadness fee away, and, in
the simple grasp of the Fathers hand,
sweet peace will be given, and you will
rest securely, knowing that the morning
cometh.

VALUATION OF Poor WHrEs.-Capt. Con-
yngham, in his late work entitled. "Sher-
mans March through the South" relates
the following story told him by former
slave. 1t strongly illustrates the relative
value which the planters set on the negroes
and poor whites:
a. believe, Dick" said, "a black man
was of more value in the South than
white man."
" Yah, yah !" exclaimed Dick. White
man no count dere dis niger worth fif.
teen hundred dollars, white man nothinpn
Why then, Dick, it was better to be
black man than poor white one.n
" Lor' bress you, massa poor white no
value. Massa was sinking well. 1t was
berry deep, and Pompey working hard at
it, when neighbor Miller came along, and
says, Am surprised you leave Pompey
down dere that will sure cave in. Hire
poor white man. Massa sent me for one,
and put him in dat ere we'll in place of
Pompey when, sartin enuff, the well caved
over him and Massa Miller says to Mas
sa. Now, see, am the lucky man to you:
| saved you twelve hundred dollars ; and
they went in and had drink, and left the
poor white man dere"
This was Dicks story, and | believe it
was true one, for have seen too many
instances of the selfish cruelty of planters
to their poor white neighbors.

WEAKNESS.

u little feet, that such long years
Must wander ON through doubts and fears
Must ache and bleed beneath your load!
{ nearer 70 the way-side inn
Where toll shall cease and rest begin,
Am weary, thinking of your road.
q little hands, that, weak or strong,
Have still to serve or rule so long,
Have still SO long to give or ask
[ who so much with book and pen
Have toiled among my fellow-men,
Am weary thinking Of your task.
o. little hearts, that throb and beat
With such impatient, feverish heat,
Such imitIess and strong desires
Mine, that has so long glowed and burned
With passions into ashes turned,
Now covers and conceals its fires.
.. little souls, as pure and white
Aud crystalline as rays of light
Direct from heaven, their source divine!
prfaced throughout the midst of years,
How re / my setting sun appears,
How lurid looks this soul of mine!

The CHOLERA. Halls Journal of Health
gives the following practical suggestions,
which deserve the immediate attention of
all who wish to avoid the scourge of chol-
era, which threatens to attack us next
summer
1st. Every householder owes it to his
tamil y, to his neighbors, to the community
in which he resides, to have his house, from
cellar to garret, from the street curb to the
rear line of his lot, most scrupuouslv
cleansed, by sweeping, washing and white
washing.
Sd. Every man who has any authority in
the city or town government should consid-
er himself bound by his oath Of office, and
by every consideration of humanity, to
give himself no rest until every street, al
ley, close gutter and sewer, is placed in a
state of as perfect cleanliness as possible
and kept so until the frOsts of next summer
come.
Sd. These cleanings should be done now,
in February and March, because, if put off
until warm weather, the very effort neces-
sary to the removal of filth will only tend,
IN the essential nature Of things, to hasten
the appearance of the disease, to increase
its malignity and to extend the time of it's
devastation because the suns of spring
and summer the sooner warm into lite and
intensity the viperic and malignant infu-
ence which in its remorseless tread wrecks
80 much of human happiness and desolates
SO many hearth-stones.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1866-03-29

LITTLE CHHDREN-Children are the poetry
of the world-the fresh flowers of our hearts
and homes--little conjurors, with their
natural magic" evoking by their spells
what delights and enriches all ranks, and
equalizes the different classes of society.
Often as they bring with them anxieties
and cares, and live to occasion sorrow and
grief, we should get on very badly without
him. Only think-if there was never any
thing anywhere to be seen but grown-up
men and women, how we should long for
the sight Of little child Every infant
comes into the world like delegated proph-
ct, the harbinger and herald of good tidings,
whose Office is to turn the hearts of the
fathers to the children, and draw the dis
bedient to the just" A child softens and
purifies the heart, warming and melting it
by its gentle presence; it enriches the soul
by new feelings, and awakens within it
what is favorable to virtue. 1t is beam OF
light, fountain Of love, teacher whose
lessons few can resist. Infants recall us
from much that engenders and encourages
seltishness, that freezes the affections, rough,
ems the manners, indurates the heart they
brighten the home, deepen love, invigorate
exertion, infuse courage, and viyify and
sustain the charities of life.

A True MAy.-He is above a mean thing
tie cannot stoop to mean thing. He
evades no secrets in the keeping of an
other. he betrays no secrets confded to
his keeping. He never struts in borrowed
plumage. He never takes selfish advan
tage OF cur mistakes He never stabs in
the dark. He is ashamed of inuendoes.
lie is not one thing to mans face and an
other behind his back If by accident he
comes In possession of his neighbours coun-
sells, he passes upon them an act of instant
oblivion. He bears sealed packages with
out tampering with the wax. Papers not
meant for his eye, whether they futter at
the window or lie open before him in unre-
garded exposure, are sacred to him. He
encroaches on no privacy of others, how
ever the sentry sleeps. Bolts and bars,
locks and keys, hedges and thickets, bonds
and securities, notice to trespassers, are
none of them for him. He may be trusted
himself out of sight-near the thinnest par
tition-anywhere. He buys no office, he
sells none he intrigues for none. He
would rather fail of his rights than win by
dishonor. He will eat honest bread He
insults no man. He tramples on no sensi-
tive feeling. If he have rebuke for another
he is straightforward, open, manly. What
ever he judges honorable he practices to-
ward every man.

CHEERING Up ATRAvELER.-Artemus Ward,
in describing his journey from California,
says The driver with whom | sat outside
informed me, as we slowly rolled down the
fearful mountain road which looks down on
either side into an appalling ravine, that
he has met accidents in his time that cost
the California stage company great deal
of money because" said he, 'iuries is
agin US on principle, and every man who
sues us is sure to recover. But it will
never be so again, not with me, you bet y"
How is that ?" | said 1t was frightfully

withstanding the brakes were kept hard

is that?" said. Why, you see," he re-
piled, that corpses never sue for damages.

keerfully examine the passengers Them

Dead folks don't sue. They amt on it,"
Thus with anecdote did this driver che er
me up.
