infected districts. Nevertheless, they

LIFE IN A GERMAN VILLAGE.-A
letter written from Germany says !:
Walk through the poor quarters of Eng
fish or American villages and the fe
male population is crowded in dens O.
filth and wrctchedness, passing the
time in brawling with one another and
screaming after their children. They
are pale and diseased from the effects
ofpoverty and crime, and two-thirds o.
their offspring find an early grave.
Here the health and blooming vitality
ofthe poorer classes is wonderful; their
children begin to work almost as soon
as they can walk, and before that time
they are no trouble to their parents, as
each town of any size has a" child gar
den," where by paying two cents, a
peasant can have his child washed, fed
and kept in comfortable manner the
whole day. If he has ten children, as
most poor men have, he can send them
all away for reduced price. When
he and his grown-up children come
home, there are the little ones all clean,
and not hungry. Now, it seems to me,
such an institution ought to flourish at
home.

SOME STORIES ON MIR. JOHNSON, AS Told
BY RADIcALs.-When he passed through
Cincinnati on his way to Washington to be
inaugurated Vice President, in separate con-
versations with two gentlemen universally
known in that city, and men who stand as
high as any in it, he said, first, to one with
marked emphasis: 81 am an old Democrat,
and so are you, and if this country is ever
saved, it has got to be saved through re-
organization of the Democratic party"
A few feeks before the assassination he
said to a man who was then his friend: "If
l am ever President of the United States
this damned Yankee influence will be crush
ed" A few weeks after the assassination,
the same man met him, and the first remark
of Mr.. johnson was, "Do you remember
what l told you when I saw you last Well,
now l am President, and this damned Yam
kee influence shall be crushed out in this gov
eminent"
Before Mr.. Lincoln was hardly cold in his
grave, Mr.. johnson had been party to the
publication of an editorial in bitter Demo-
cratic journal here, taking the distinct
ground that he had always acted with the
Democratic party, and was now its g cham
pion" and triumphant standard bearer"

! THE sAyIoug LOVES SrNNERs.-The

The SAVIOUR LOVES SINNERs.-The
character Of the Lord Jesus, as portray
ed in the Gospel, shows him to be no
respecter Of persons, but from every
class of society the person who fears
God and works righteousness is accep-
ted. 1t is remarkable that he became
poor, and that he was man of sorrow
and acquainted with grief. No high
sounding titles or proud positions were
his, but a wandering penniless man,
who fished to pay his lawful tribute.
He chose not metropolitan position
of grandeur and wealth, or landed es-
tate in the fair land of Judea for his
abode. This he left to the Jew, while
he rested in his wanderings with the
orphans Mary, Martha and Lazarus. The
greatest charity to mankind was his
chief characteristic. He turned not
away from any penitent soul. He
preached to the wicked woman at the
well to another he said, Sin no more;
60 in peace" To the prodigal he gran
ted welcome home, and answered the
prayer of the dying thief, while Jewish
doctors would have consigned them to
| death. Sincere penitence and faith in
him was all that he required to secure
his favor. Peter fell away in time of
sorest trial but the cocks voice awoke
him to his own sad condition, while
penitential tears fell from his eyes, but
in mercy's sight. Jesus found him af-
terward and reminded him of former
vows by remarkable interrogation,
which was enough to arouse the way
ward Peter, and induce him to go forth
and feed the flock of Christ, in obedi-
ence to his lords commands. Lazarus
was greatly afflicted; the dogs were HE
attendants; beggar among men, bu
an heir of immortality. Jesus, from tn
excellent glory, looks down upon tn
family, Of man with tenderest compass
sion. His servants go forth offering
life to all classes of men, but especiall,
have the poor the Gospel preached t.
them. The prince and the vassal, the
great and the small, all have friend in
Jesus. The light of his countenanc,
can alone shed light upon the dark and
stormy waters of Jordan; and howeye
