A Reaulifnl Extract.

1t was night. Jerusalem slept as qui.
etly amid her hills as a child upon the
breast Of its mother. The noiscless sen
tinel stood like a statute at his post, and
tho philosophers lamp burned. dimly in
tho rccesses Of his chamber. But NOR.
al darkness involved the nation in its
enlightened. shadows. Reason shed o
faint glimmerirg over the minds Of men,
like the cold and insufficient shining Of a
distant star. The immortality of man s
spiritual nature was unknown, his rela.
tions unto heaven undiscovered, and his
future destiny obscured in a cloud OF
mystery. 1t was at this period that two
forms Of ethereal mould lowered about
the land Of Gods chosen people. They
seemed like sister angels. sent to earth
on some unknown embassy of love. The
one of majestic stature aud we'll formed
limb, which her snowy drapcry hardly
concealed, in her erect bearing and steady
eye, exhibited the highest degree Of
strength and confidence. Her right arm,
was extended in an impressive gesture
upward where night appeared to have
placed her darkest pavilion while on her
left rccincd her delicate companion, IN
form and countenance the contrast of the
other. She was dropping like flower
moistened by refreshing dews, and heI
bright but troubled eyes scanned them
with ardent but varying glances. Sud,
denly q light like the sun flashed ou,
from the heavens, and Faith and Hope
hailed with exulting songs the ascending
star Of Bethlehem. Years rolled away
and the Stranger was seen at Jerusalem
He was o meek, unassuming man, whose
happiness seemed to consist in acts oi
benevolence to the human race. There
were deep traces of sorrow on his coun.
tenaucc, though no ono knew why He
grisved, for He lived in the practice ol
virtue, and was loved by all the good and
wise. by and by it was rumored that
the Stranger worked miracles, that the
blind saw, that the dumb spakc, the dead
arose, the ocean moderated its cha6ng
tide the very thunder articulated. liz
is the Son of God Envy assailed Him
to death. Thickly guarded, lie slowly
ascended the hill Of Calvary. A heavy
cross hent Him to the earth. But Faith
leaned on his arm, aud Hope, dipping heI

Evils Of Gossip.

We have known . country society
which withered away to nothing uRdcr
the dry. Of gossip only. Friendship,
once as firm as granite, dissolved to jelly,
and then ran away to wster, only because
Of this; love that promised future as
enduring as heaven and a. staple as truth,
evaporating into q morning mist, that
turned to q days long tears because Of
this; q father and son were set foot to
foot with the 6sry breath of AMER that
would never cool between them, only
because Of this ; and husband and his
young wife, each straining at the heated
leash which, in tho beginning, had been
the golden bondage Of God. blessed love,
sat mourufully by the side Of the grave
where all their joy lay buried, and only
because Of this. Gcat crimes work great
wrong, but woeful and most sorrowlul
are the uncatalogued tragedies that issue
from gossip and detractiou most mourn.

natures and lovely lives by the bitter
winds and dead salt water Of slaDdcr. 30
easy to sly, yet SO hard to disprove-
throwing on the innocent all the burden
and the stain Of demonstrating their in.
uocence, and furnishing them as guilty If
unable to pluck out the stings they never
see, and to silence words they never hear.

They had party in tho evening, and

She arose without disturbing him, took

Babarity in 1lassac chusetts.

There is law in Massachusetts, which
is intended to regulate tho omploy meut
Of children in factories. The officer ap.
pointed to enforce this law reports as FOL.
lows:
In Fall River he found one thousand
children employed in factories, mostly Of
foreign parentage, in generally low con-
dition, ignorant in many cases Of thoir
own uges, earning very low wages, and
deprived in a great part, or altogether,
Of the school privileges which the law 70.
quires. 10 illustrate tho spirit Of some
Of the employers, the officer inquired Of
the agent Of one of the factories, whether
it was tho custom to do any thing for tho
physical, Intellectual, or moral welfare Of
the rk.people. The answer would not
have been out Of place in the master Of
plantations, or tho captain Of . coolis
ship 1--WE never do as for myself, I
regard my work people as regard ny
machinery; so long rs they can do my
work for what choose to pay them, I
keep them, aud get out Of them all con.
What they do, or how they fare outside
Of my walls l do not know. They must
look out for themselves, as I do for my.
self. When my machinery gets old and
useless, I reject it and get now and these
people arc part Of my machinery"
Another agent in another part Of tho
State replied to similar question, "that
he used his mill hands as he used his
horse as long as he was in good condi-
tion aud rendered him good service, he
treated him we'll; otherwise he got rid
Of him as soon as he could, and what be.
came Of him afterwards was ne affair of
h,s." These arc cases Of cxcenti0nal
hardship; but in the majority S&tAb.
lishmeuts it is believed that, byyhe con-
nivance Of parents and employers. tho
law is violated, at least in some Of its
parts, to most fearfal extent.
