Little Children.

/ think them the poetry of the world
the fresh flowers of our hearths and
home; little coniurers, with their natu-
raj 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 them. Only think-if there were
never anything to be seen anywhere but
grown up men and women, how we
Should long for the sight of child !
Every infant comes into the world as a
delegated prophet, the harbinger and
the herald of good tidings, whose Office it
is "to turn the hearts of fathers to the
children" and to draw the "disobedient
to the wisdom of the just" A child soft
ems and purifes the heart, warming and
melting it by its gentle presence; it en-
riches the soul by new feelings, and AVA
kens within it what is favorable to virtue.
1t is a beam of light, o fountain of love,
teacher whose lesson few can resist
Infants recall us from much that engen-
ders and encourages sel6shness, that
freezes the affections, roughens the man
ners, indurates the heart. They brighten
the home, deepen love, inyigorate exer-
ton, infuse courage, and yiyify and sus-
tain the charities of Life

Little Things in the Religious Lie.

Did holy life consist of one or two
noble deeds-some signal specimens of
doing, or enduring-we might account
for the failure, and reckon it small dis
honor to turn back in such a conflict
But a holy life is made up of multitude
of small things. 1t is the little things of
the hour, and not the great things of the
age, that fill up life like that of Paul
and John, like that of Rutherford, or
Brainerd, or Martyr. Little words, not
eloquent speeches or sermons; little
deeds, not miracles nor battles, nor one
great act of mighty martyrdom, make
up the true Christian life. The little
constant sunbeam, not the lightning; the
waters of Siloah "that 90 softly" in
their meek mission of refreshment, not
"the waters of the river great and nigh
ty,' rushing down in torrent noise and
force, are the true symbols of holy life.
The avoidance of little evils, little sins,
little inconsistencies, little weaknesses,
little follies, little indiscretions and i'm
prudences, little foibles, little indulgences
! of self and of the flesh, little acts of in
dolence or indecision, or slovenliness or
cowardice, little equiyocations or aberra-
tions from high integrity, little touches
of shabbiness and meanness, little bits Of
covetousness and penuriousness, little ex-
hibitions of worldliness and gayety, little
indiferences to the feelings or wishes Of
others, little outbreaks of temper and
crossness or selfshness or vanity; the
avoidance of such little things as these
goes far to make up at least the negative
beauty of holy life. And then atten-
ton to the little duties of the day and
hour, in public transactions or private
dealing or family arrangements; to the
little words and tones little benevolences,
or forbearances, or tenderness; little self
denials, and self-restraints, self-forgetful-
ness; little plans of quiet kindness and
thoughtful consideration for others pune
tuality, and method, and true aim, in the
ordering of each day-these are active
developments of holy life, the rich and
divine mosaics of which it is composed.
What makes your green hill so beautifully
Not the outstanding peak or stately elm,
but the bright sward which clothes its
slopes, composed of innumerable blades
of slender grass. 1t is of small things
that great life is made up; and he who
will acknowledge no life as great save
that which is built up of great things, will
find little in Bible characters to admire
or copy.-BOnar.

WiIlie'S First Oath.

A little boy came in from school the
other day looking very unhappy. Was
he hurt? No. Had the boys plagued
him? No. Had he been in mischief?
No. What was the matter with Willie
He had hardly spoken at supper-time,
and ate very little. His mother went up
to bed with him, and she asked him
again, Willie, what ails you, dearf"-
"Mother," said he, "mother l swore.
The minute 1 spoke it l was afraid of
God, and ran home. Mother, if | could
only wipe those wicked words out of my
mouth---if 1 only could Mother, will
God ever forgive me for taking his holy
name in vain? Pray for me, mother "
and Willie sank upon his knees and
hid his face. His mother did pray for
him, and Willie did pray for himself
prayed to be forgiven-prayed that he
might never, never profane the name of
God again. "I'd rather be dumb all my
life long said Willie, "than to be a
swearer.
The next day he asked his mother to
write down all the Bible said about pro-
fame swearing; he wanted to study it,
and fix it in his mind, carry it about
with him everywhere" so she found and
copied this text :-"Thou shalt not take
the name of the Lord thy God in vain
for the Lord will not hold him guiltless
who taketh his name in vain" Exod. Xxx.

The Promise Kept.

II promised my father | would not go.
James was the eldest boy of large
family, and son of a clergyman in -.
He was anxious to study, but his health
was not thought sufficiently good, and be
abandoned the idea. Perhaps his father
was also influenced by Strengthened cir
cumstances in coming to this decision;
When his son was about sixteen, he
went to B, for the purpose of enter
ing dry goods store. His father gave
him letter to an orthordox minister of
his acquaintance there; he also gave him
money enough to take him to B--and
to pay his board for two weeks, during
which time he must obtain work. BE
had arrived in B., and was on his
way to deliver his letter as directed, when.
he was accosted by young man who
asked him where he was going, on learn
ing which, he said
aGo with me, and | will help you g
get work right away.
Where are y5u s',;sss - =
g | am going TO the theatre, ard iSflli
there introduce you to a person who will
help you right away"
II can't go-I promised my flasher |
would not go to theatre"
Just as the noble boy said this, an el-
derly man passed him on the sidewalk,
and he heard the remark He stopped
and said,
81 am glad to see boy who remem-
bers his promise to his father. Who are
you, my lad ?"
James told his name and errand
"Well go with me, and l will help you"
:" And where are you going, SIR?
g | am going to a prayer-meeting.-
The minister whom you are seeking will
probably be there also, and after meet
ing is over, l think can help you TO
work.
James went with the gentleman to the
meeting, after which he was introduced
to the clergyman to whom his father had
written. While he was presenting his
letter, the gentleman who brought him
there was talking to another man-his
partner in business. Then turning again
to James, he said,
"Come to our store tomorrow, and II
you hold out as you have begun, you
Shall never want for friends or employ
ment.
The minister advised him to go, telling
him it was one of the best business firms
in the city. James went and was at once
received. His strict integrity, industry,
and faithfulness endeared him to his en-
ployers. He steadily arose from one
place to another still higher, until he be-
came a partner in the firm. He still
maintained his integrity, walking in the
fear of God, and now, after many years,
continues to be greatly respected by all
who know him, and greatly blessed in all
his business relations. He often says he
owes all prosperity to that promise he
made his father.
"Will our young men take heed to this
lesson?'

power beyond and above the wand of
Moses. Or, was the Jordan chased down
ward to the Dead Sea2 A power exter-
nal to the staff of Joshua must have Of
fected the wonder, and guided over the
tribes of Israel, even to the last Egyptian
goat and Hebrew kid that brOwsed in the
land of promise. Nor are the prophecies
of the Bible vague conjectures or equiv
ocal oracles, like those delivered at Del
phi, and which served TO amuse the mer-
curial and imaginative Greeks. Nor are
they retrospective, but prospective history
seen through the vista of coming ages.
Pantheism can never obtain where these
predictions are believed.
But the advocates of that system often
ask: eff there be personal Deity,
why does he not break the silence in
which he lives, and disperse the doubts of
his bewildered creatures?" This he has
done in the olden time to his Patriachs,
Prophets, and Apostles; sndin the future
History of our world, he may revive an

among themountains and deserts of Pal
estine. Who then will be sceptical about
the Divine existence? What Pantheist,
like Spinosa, or Emerson, will then dare
to set up for Deity the effect instead
Of the cause! or desire that creation
should supplant its creator? All men
will then find their portion of the Divine
attributes, instead of the works which
proceeded from those attributes put into
exercise by the irresistible will of their
professor.
The subjecJ of this letter is sufficiently
serious, But it is better to think of
something weighty than to entertain you
with anything simply amusing. Who
cares for the marvellous travels of Sir
John Vaudeville, who says he saw Mad
agascar bird carrying an elephant? ? or for
the stories of the Abyssinian Bruce,
which awakened so much incredulity all
over Scotland? We have more to say,
but must wait.

avoid such evils, refuse to prepare any
table fer your household, and suffer them
to eat when and where they please? If
your father, or any other man, has been
too severe in the religious discipline and
instruction of his children, this should
teach you to avoid his errors; butit can
never justify you in the total neglect OF
a duty which he imperfectly performed
Nor can you escape from these obliga-
tions by the plea that yon are not a
church-member, and do not profess to be
religious. Your duty, in this respect,
does not in anywise depend upon church
membership, nor upon any .T9lgltary en-
gagement, nor upon any rules iaid down
by human authority. 1t upon the
unalterable relations you susE5n to God
and to your children-upcn express
commandment of your Creee end final
Judge-upon the manifest aence Of
family religion upon the % oral and
eternal welfare of those wh.sa God has
committed to your care, su disre-
gard these obligations hyN N you ex-
pect to behold Gods face IN peace?-
How can you anticipate meeting your
own children at that bar where you and
they must give account together ? II
theyperish through yourneglect, yOurna
ural affection for them, and all your care
and toll in their behalf, will be turned
into gall and bitterness in the remem-
brance. The time in which you can
meet these obligations is passing rapidly
away. Much of it is already past. Be
persuaded to begin at once what you
ought to have begun long ago. Take
the Holy Bible in your hand, and call your
family around you, and say, "let us
worship God" 1t will be the best days
work, for time and eternity, you ever did.
Do not wait till you are Christian
This is the best way to become Chris
tian. We learn to walk by walking. We
learn to swim by going into the water
and striking out boldly. God helps with
the gift of more grace those who use the
grace they have. He will hear your
prayer from the family altar for your
self, as well as for your children.
If you do not know how to pray-the
more shame for you; but it is never too
late to learn. If you cannot pray ex-
temporaneously, get some form of prayer
and use it. If you cannot pray out of
your heart, pray out Of book. If you
cannot walk upright on your own feet,
hobble along on crutches. Make the eff
fort to go forward, some how, in the way
of your duty; for while you sit still, not
only is your own soul in danger of perish
ing, but your children are growing up
under your eye in habits of irreligion for
which you are responsible.
