A Song for "Our Baby

The little sparrows have their nest;
God gives the pretty creatures rest
He watches DER the smallest thing
That nightly folds its weary wing.
Sleep baby, sleepl
The nodding lilies by the stream,
With folding petals sweetly dream;
The sleeping daisies in the grass
Are winking as the night winds pass.
Sleep! baby, sleep
Now drop the fringed and dainty lid
Ger sweetest eyes that eer were hid,
And leave your darling baby wiles,
For angel whispers-dreamy smiles,
Sleep! baby, sleep

Sermon by Rev. w. S. Plumer D. D.


We copy from the Dispatch the following
brief abstract of portion of the sermon deliver
ed in the First Presbyterian Church in Rich
mond on Sunday, the 18th instant:
His text was part of the 18th verse of chapter
Ill. of Galatians: "Christ hath redeemed us
from the curse of the law, being made curse
for us. The sermon was of the clear, argu-
mentative kind characteristic of the preacher,
whose @ mind Is not onl y logical, but what is call
ed legal. He spoke without notes, but so
thoroughly had he studied his subject and such
IS his power as an orator that his sermon was
as consecutive In its reasoning, and as explicit
and elegant IN It's diction as if it had been pre-
pared for the press. The line of argument was
something like the following:
There can be no argument where nothing is
granted. No one could reason with a man who
denied all truths, or even all errors. There are
some things which all men of common sense
concede. The only proposition which he would
take for granted was that man lisa sinner. Every
man not only knows himself to be sinner, but
that all men are sinners. Man being a sinner,
the speaker could only conceive of four things
which God might do to him: First, he might
connive at sin, wink at it, and treat the good
and bad alike. But surely no one could believe
this. The Bible declared the contrary to be
the fact. If the angels could conceive of God
DIS not Delng entlreiy pure, there would be silence
in Heaven for more than half an hour" and
weeping and wailing forever after The purity
ofGod, therefore, forbids the idea that he should
treat the good and bad alike Secondly, God
might annihilate the whole race No one could
prove that He had everannihilated anything that
He had made; and as the soul of man was the
breath of God, it would not do to argue that
he would annihilate this 1t would be "a con-
fesson that the devil had outwitted God; that
God had made a mistake in creating man that
one of his own creatures 1.-THE deviD could thwart
his designs. Thirdly, God might sweep the
human family into perdition The speaker had
often wondered that God had not done so and
he supposed that it might continue to be a
subject of wonder with him forever But God
had not chosen this course Fourthly, God
might redeem man from sin and this was what
ne had done. The speaker then inquired into
the nature of redemption among the Jews and
the Romans, saying the word translated IRE
deemer" might have been translated ''ayenger,"
or ''revenger,' or 'kinsman," in some places.
II know that my kinsman-Redeemer lveth,"
&c., would be fair translation.
The rest of the sermon I'VE have merely out
lined the beglnning) was an interesting and able
exposition of the doctrine of redemption. We
took no notes, and would,not wish the reader
10 do DIR. Plumer the injustice of supposng that
we have given any correct idea of his sermon.

QUEEN VIcToRIA's FAMILY DIscIP-
LINE.-An anecdote illustrating Veto
ria's admirable good sense and strict
domestic discipline came to me directly
from one who witnessed the occurrence.
One day when the Queen was present
in her carriage at a military review, the
princess Royal, then rather a willful
girl of about thirteen, sitting on the
front seat, seemed disposed to be rather
familiar and coquettish with some
young officers of the escort. Her Ma
jesty gave several reproving looks,
without avail inked at her, but she
would not stay winked." At>length in
flirting her handkerchief over. the side
Of the carriage, she dropped it-too
evidently not accidentally. Instantly
two or three young heroes sprang from
their, saddles to return it to her fair
hand-bnt the lawful voice of royalty
stayed them. 'Stop gentlemen! ex
claimed the Queen" leave it where it
lies. Now my daughter, get down
from the carriage, and pick up your
handkerchief" There was no help for
it. The royal footman let down the
steps for the little royal lady who pro-
ceeded to lift from the dust the pretty
piece Of cambria and lace. She bfushed
a good deal, though she tossed her head
saucily, and she was doubtless very an
cry, but the Notifying lesson may have
nipped in the bud her first impulse to-
ward coquetry. 1t was hard, but it
was wholesome. How many American
mothers would be equal to such piece
of Spartan discipline ?.-Grace Green
