High Upon the Rock.

Once upon a time lived powerful king who
relgned over large and fertile country. He
had crowns of gold and pearls, and scepters of
ivory and precious stones His treasury was
tuli OF the costly things of earth tens of thou
SANDS Us OF armed men were ready to obey his
bidding, and his dominion extended from sea
to sea. But without Gods blessing, worldly
possessions are but an increase of care, and as
this mighty monarch feared not God, he was
always dissatisfied and very unhappy.
In the dominions of the king lived a certain
dervlse, famed for abstinence, sanctity, wisdom,
and plety; and the king willing to profit by the
instructions OF the holy man, paid him visit
He found him clothed in sack-cloth, living in a
cave surrounded with high rocks, on the borders
of wilderness
Holy man, said the King. II come to learn
how may be happy" Without giving any
reply the dervise led the King through the
rugged pathways of the place, until he brought
him in front Of high rock, near the top of
which the eagle had built her eyrie. ''Why
has the eagle builded her nest yonder ?' said
the dervise. Doubtless replied the King,
that it may be out of the way of danger. -
Then initiate the bird,' said the dervise;
build thy throne in heaven, and thou shalt
reign there unmolested and in peace
Now the king would have willingly given the
dervise a hundred pieces of gold, if he would
have accepted it, for this precious piece of
advice. 1t may be as useful to you as to the
King for you are all as much interested in be-
ing happy as he was. As the eagle built her
nest on the rugged rock, build your hope on
the Rock of Ages. AS the dervise told the
King to erect his throne in heaven, so [ tell
you to ''seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above not on the
things of the earth." Do this, and you will be
above the reach of danger for time and eternity.

NUMBER XIV.
Mothers Grave.
BY G. D. PRENTICE.

| The trembling dew drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers, like souls at rest:
The stars shine gloriously, and all
Save me are blest
Mother, love thy gravel
The violet with the blossoms blue and wild
Waves DER thy head. When will it wave
Above thy child?
Tis a sweet flower yet must
Its bright leaves to the morning tempest bow,
Dear mother, tits thine emblem-dust
LIS on thy brow.
And could love to die
10 leave untasted lifes dark, bitter streams
BY thee, as first in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here, i
10 stain the plumage of my sinless wears
ana mourn the hopes of childhood dear
With bitter tears.
Aye, must linger here,
A lonely branch upon Withered tree
Whose last frail leaf untimely sere.
Went down with thee.
Oft from life's withered bower,
In still communion with the past I turn
ana muse on thee, the only flower
In memOry's urn.
And when the evening pale
Bows like mourner on the dim blue wava
L stray to hear the night winds wall -
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown?
l gaze above-thy look is imaged there
L listen, and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
Oh, come while here press
My brow upon thy grave, and in those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child

FArTH.-I have seen lone tree standing on

tumn bend its lofty branches to the dust but
when the blast had gone, have viewed its tall
form still erect, limbs still expanded, and have
said such is the Christian amid the riots and
tumults of the worlds unrighteousness. His
trust is in Him who gave the tree its unyielding
root, in whose right hand there is deliverance.
Let the Christian, then, learn lesson from the
tree and, amid the conflicts of life remember,
that with faith, they are like house built up
on a rock; that their warfare is but for limited
period, and that the reward of the good soldier
of the Gross is annheritance of eternal felicity.

Sad Letter from Herschel Y. Johnson.

Sad Letter from Herschel V. Johnson.
Ex-Gov. johnson writes to political friend
in Michigan:
'The future darkness is scarcely relieved by
a single ray of hope And it seems that we
have not reached the lowest depth of our woe.
The ruling powers seem bent upon our still
greater humiliation The theme is one on which
it is too painful to dwell. Reason seems to
have surrendered the sceptre of craftsmanship
to blind and vindictive passion. What is to be
the result, God only knows, and He only can
rescue the country from the worst fate that ever
fell upon once tree, prosperous and happy
people. Perhaps you may be, in some degree
interested in what is personal to myself As
you perhaps know, resisted secession as long
as 1t was an open question. But when my State
resolved upon it, | cast my lot with the fortunes
Of my people, feeling confident that we should
reap the whirlwind. | have not been disap
pointed and, though Inever cherished an emo
ton of hostility to the Constitution, or the Union
OF our forefathers under it-though [ have
spent quarter Of century in trying to uphold
both-yet now | find myself, at the end of such
career, disfranchised and assigned to posi-
ton, in respect to political rights, inferior to
that of my former slaves. My home is the
track of Sherman's march. His army destroy
ed nearly everything possessed, including my
private papers and title deeds, and reduced me
from comfort to poverty. If were young, and
could be alone, | might rally from prostration
but at my time of life. in view of present sur
roundings, and the darkness that curtains the
future, [ scarcely hope to be able to feed and

A Child's Idea of a Child's PRAYER.

Little Nellie, who was only four years old.
no sooner saw work laid aside than she ran to
her mothers knee and claimed seat there
Mrs. Lee lifted her to her lap, went on busily
thinking of her duties and cares while she rocked
herself and Nellie to and fro.
For time Nellie amused herself very quietly
by winding string in and out through her
fingers but presently she began talking to her.
self in low tone-''When [ say my PRAYERS.
God says, 'Hark angels, while 1 hear a little
noise. ," Her mother asked her what noise
was that.
"a little girls noise. Then the angels will
do just so (shutting her mouth very tight and
keeping very still for moment), till l say
Amen"
Isn't this sweet thought? I wonder if the
children who read this story oflittle Nellie have
ever thought how wonderful it is that God al
ways hears their prayers. He is surrounded by
thousands and thousands of angels, all singing
and praising Him with their golden harps and
yet, through all the music and all the praises,
He hears the softest prayer of little child
kneeling by the bedside. He must be very
loving and very kind to children. We should
think He would sometimes forget, and be listen
ing to the beautiful sounds in heaven instead of
to the prayer of little child. But He never
does. There is never too much singing or too
many praises there for Him to hear little girls
noise. Do you not wonder that children do
not pray to Him much more and much oftener
than they do?-Childs lMagozine.

POETRY.
For the Spectator.
To Ida.

The poet takes the lofty theme
And writes immortal story;
And thus, his life golden dream,
His pen is all his glory.
Since mine is not the poets goal
An humble rhymer can but dare
To look into his secret soul
And find the thought imprinted there.
And first upon the tablet placed,
Thy name, Time will forever fix;
And next 1 scan in helpless haste,
The journey of our band of six.
How, free from ev'ry base alloy,
With joyous hearts we sported;
Nor did we strive to curb our joy
Twas JOY alone we courted.
YET often few the cruel dart
| see the marks upon my soul,
With wounds that made the crimson start
And showed heart beyond control.
The record tells alone of thee
Thy ev ry smile and look is shown
In future wilt thou think of me,
And happy times forever gone

A Romantic Incident.

lAtlantlc City Cor. OF the Cincinnati Gazette.
A romantic incident occurred here last week,
which has been thus related to me "A young
man from Philadelphia lost his heart to pretty
girl from that city, whose father was president
OF prominent bank there, and very wealthy.
/ de was salaried clerk, though of very good
family, and was unwilling, on account of his
poverty, to propose marriage, even though he
had reason to believe his passion was returned.
He made this confession, it seems, to one of his
friends, and the story of his modesty and pride
reached the young lady's ears, and touched her,
very naturally.
A few weeks after, the fair Philadelphia was
driving on the beach alone, when her horse be-
came frightened at the surf and ran off at
furious pace. She lost all control of the terrif-
ed animal, which had run at least two miles,
when the enamored swain, exactly as it happens
IN romances, chanced to be walking by the
border of the sounding main, as Homer would
put it, thinking of the cherries future without
the idol of his soul (for further sophomorical
phraseology see Svanus Cobb, Jr. In few
moments he held the horses head was dragg-
ed few hundred years before he could check
the animals course, and then snatched the half
fainting girl from the vehicle Once in his
arms she swooned wholly, of course He held
her In his embrace until she recovered. She
murmured her gratitude he his passion, and
they walked to the hotel with rosy bushes all
over their faces
That night the wealthy father heard of his
daughter rescue, and, after talking with her,
discovered that she loved the fellow. The fol-
lowing morning he sent for the clerk, aud dis
covered the fellow loved the girl
why the devil didn't you propose to her?
How was she or to know anything of the state
Of your heart unless you told about it2 You
don't expect pretty woman with 100000 in
her own right to run about with her love in her
hand, asking handsome scape- graces like your
self to take it, do you'll
Il knew, sir, that was very poor, and you
very rich that it was not probable you
lb'Nonsense! don't want my daughter to
marry bank account. Ny own is high enough
for her. You are worthy and if you love her,
go and tell her so, and let me hear no more
stuff about poverty and wealth. "
The young man went; and | presume the two
came to an understanding, as [ am informed
they are to be married the first week in Novem-
ber
The narrative is not whit original or new,
except IN the fact that the pater- -familias has
sense enough to prefer his daughter happiness
to superfuous riches. [ would like to give his
name for the benefit of example. I can't of
