The Sabbath School.

"Jerusalem was destroyed" says the
Talmud, "because the instruction of the
young was neglected" And dark as
have been the fortunes of the South, the
past few years, "a worse thing will come
to us if We are guilty of neglect in this
matter. The religious training of our
children is, more than ever, a manifest
and imperative necessity. Society, for
the generation that grows up under the
influence of revolution, is like vast
caldron, filled with glowing and melted
matter, which may boil over and, with
desolating tide, sweep away every struc-
ture reared by the patriotism or piety of
better days, unless timely care and an
unwearying diligence provide proper
channels for it. The ground swell, when
the gale has ceased, is more fatal to heed
less craft than the gale itself; and we
might almost say that war and CONFUSION
strike their heaviest blow after they are
over-for, then comes the growth of
manifold mischiefs, from the seeds sown
by negligence, amid storms of strife, as
to the mental and spiritual culture of
childhood and youth. With this convic-
ton, it is incumbent on US to give re-
doubled attention and effort to these in
terests. We must feel, as the Talmudists
felt, (if we may quote them again, when
they said, Given for the rebuilding Of
the Temple, the schools must not be in
terrupted."
This subject is one that claims thong Int,
prayer, labor, self-denial, at the hands of
all who live under the power of true
love for the country and the kingdom OF
Christ. There may be something of ex-
cess in the Talmudical saying, "The
world is only saved by the breath of the
school-children." But every week per-
suades us, more and more, that the chill
dren in our Sabbath Schools are the only
-hopc-for ct-c---,t~r.rcr- et-tfe-aseatass--'
Gather them in, Christian men and wo-
men! Give them faithful, earnest, evan
gelical instruction. Wrestle. with God
in supplication for their early, heart
warm, lifelong piety. Spare no, pains
in this work; shrink from no tolls.

Don't Wait.

Emma Bertholf, young lady twenty
years of age, died last Monday. She was
sick only few days, and not regarded
as dangerously i'll until half an hour be-
fore her death. Her Sabbath school
class, which she taught two weeks ago, Is
without a teacher, and the bright-eyed
children in the Forty-fourth street public
school, lately under her tuition, look in
vain for her presence and smile. They
will never again see her, or listen to her
instructions. Parents, brothers, sister,
friends, all stand aghast. So suddenly
has she been swept away that they can
hardly believe she is dead.
Now observe, Emma BerthOlf had CIV
en- her heart to Jesus. In her infancy
she was eonsecrated to the Lord by her
pious parents, and in her youth carefully
instructed in holy things. About year
ago it became evident she had expert
enced change of heart. Parents, pas
tor, Sabbath school teachers, all saw the
great change, Her life and conduct
proved it. Three months ago she felt
she ought to join Gods people, and sit
down at the table of Christ. But she
concluded to wait until the next commu-
MON season. She loved Jesus, but was
not quite ready to join the band of his
disciples.
Yesterday We sat down again at the
sacred board, but she was not with US
We hope God forgave her this neglect,
and took her to her heavenly home, and
that she is now feasting, and will forever
feast with Jesus.
But she waited too long to confess
Christ. She lost the last opportunity to
honor her Saviour by obeying his great
command, "This do in remembrance of
me" We bless God she did not wait too
long to find Jesus, but we mourn she did
not sooner attend to this other duty, and
thus pass from the communion on earth
to the communion in heaven.
Young friend, don't wait : DON'T WATT
Fly at once to Christ. Death may be at
the door. You may, like our young
friend, who Was very rosy and healthy
before her last sickness, be Frustrated

An Evening Prayer.

come to Thee tonight
In my lone closet, where no eye can see,
And dare to crave an interview with Thee,
Father of love and light
fl this day have striven
With Thy blest Spirit, or have bowed the knee
To aught of earth in weak idolatry,
| pray to be forgiven.
If in my heart has been
An unforgiving thought, or word, or look,
Though deep the malice which l scarce could
brook
Wash me from this dark sin.
If have turned away
From grief or suffering which might relieve
Careless the cup of water" cen to give,
Forgive me, Lord, | pray.
And teach me how to feel
Nv sinful wanderings with deeper smart,
And more of mercy and of grace impart
My Sinfulness TO heal.
And now, o Father! take
The heart cast with humble faith on Thee,
And cleanse its depths from each impurity,
For my Redeemer's sake.

soon and suddenly by disease, and Ike
her unconsciously, unexpectedly pass
away. Take the warning. Don't trihe
with Jesus and your own soul. AT once,
while you read these words, believe, and
fully consecrate yourself to the Lord.
Have you done this already? 1t is
well. Then there has been JOY amongthe
angels of God over your conversion
What next? You ought at once to con-
fess Jesus. This is what the jailor of
Philippi, and Lydia, and others have done.
First give the heart, and when You are
sure of this, then give the name, and
with it the life and the all to Him who
gave himself as ransom for you.
The old Jews were commanded not only
to slay the Paschal Lamb, but to sprinkle
its blood upon the posts of their doors
Was it enough to sprinkle the blood on
the inside of the posts? Could not the
angel know it? Would he not pass by
No, he must see it; it must be visible, OIL
he will stop and do his fatal work.
Well, our Lamb is Christ. He ha:
been slain. But is it enough that his
blood has been applied to our hearts on
the inside Of orr door-pOsts? No; II
onght to be visible. We ought to make
a profession of OSS religion. This is 3
great duty. 1t is true God is omniscient
He can see better, perhaps, than the des
troying angel of old. He mag not doom
us to everlasting death, if we neglect tc
perform this duty; but forget not this is
a duty on the performance of which youl
own comfort greatly depends, and by
which you are to glorify God, and benef
the Church and the world. So we say
to you most sOlemnly as we point you tc
Emma Bertholf' snewl y-made grave, dom
oOait. Like her, give your heart to Je
sus. Do it noao.' And, unlike her, give
him your name and Influence. Be sure
you will, in performing this duty, secure
a blessing.-Chrfstian IntelHgencer.

The Trundle Bed.

The balmiest sleep we ever experienced
was when we were nesting in the old
trundle-b bed with curly-headed brother
just turned out of the parent nest to
make room for new customer. But
trundle- bed dreams were soon at an end,
for when the next customer came we
were crowded out of the trundle-bed to
make room for the next that was turned
out of the parents nest, and so they kept
alternating for years, until we were fair
ly turned out into the world.
o. where are the little heads that we
have kissed thousand times 'er as they
nestled in the old trundle-bed? Some of
them have grown old and gray, and others
are resting upon their everlasting pillow
in widely-separated lands.

Engraving Machine.

Among the many useful and ingenious
inventions exhibited at the agricultural
fair at Danyille, Va, in October last,
was an engraving machine, just patented
by Messrs. Gue1ant & Fields, the former
of Pittsylvania county, Va, the latter
of Rockingham county, Va. These gen
tlemen are brothers in-law. To the for
mer is due the credit of having originated
the idea, which after three years of pa
tient experiment has brought out this
wonderful machine, lately for the first
time exhibited to the public. The Lynch
burg NesOs gives the following account
of it:
at will be borne in mind that no ma
chine has ever been invented hitherto,
which could be successfully substituted
for the hand in the process of engraving.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands of abortive
and futile efforts have been from time to
time made to accomplish this great desid-
eratum. Without pretending to any
critical knowledge of the subject, we
must say, that in witnessing the wonder
t-forcst 70 adfiiss: tis!at -foug=sought-dis-
covery seemed attained. The accuracy
and precision of its operations are truly
wonderful. We saw an ordinary gold
ring, on the inner surface of which was
engraved piece of music, with accompa-
nying words, in such microscopic size,
that the aid of strong lens was required
to render the characters legible. The
depth of the graver's cut can be regula
ted at pleasure, from an almost invisible
mark to an impression an eighth of an
inch in depth. Any metal, from the soft
est, to the hardest variety of cast STEEL
can be engraved with equal facility-by
using a diamond pointed graver, glass
can be operated on with the same facility.
1t will copy accurately any model, cut
lines perpendicular, horizontal, parallel
or parabolic, circular or concentric, with
equal readiness and accuracy. 1t can en-
grave either Gin relief, or in "intaglio. "
Should the powers of the machine equal
the claims of its inventors, (of which We
see no reason to doubt we should think
its discovery would greatly facilitate the
return to specie payments, as a green
back can, by its agency, be perfectly
reproduced. In short, there seems to be
scarcely a limit to it's powers, or to the
variety of uses which it may be made to
subserve.
The inventors have secured letters pa
tent for the United States, England,
France and Belgium, and refused $751;
900 for their invention. The whole of
the work has been done by Messrs. Guer-
rant & Fields. Where machinery was
required to make any portion of the ma
chine itself, they made it. 1t is, conse-
quently, Southern work in all its parts
"a fact which still more strongly com
mends it to our sympathies and favorable
consideration. We sincerely hope the
inventors may realize the substantial
benefits FROM. discovery, which they
now so confidently anticipate.

The Cretans.

The terrible disasters which have come
upon the Cretans may be overruled so as
to result in the spiritual improvement OF
many of them. The Rev. DIR. Hill, the
missionary of the American Episcopal
Board at Athens, sends to the Spirit Of
Missions the following recital of the
means used for the benefit of the refugees
in that city:
"'The storm which desolated Crete in
'66, drove to US some ten or eleven thou
and women and children and aged men.
We felt it our bounden duty to do all in our
power to provide for the moral and reli-
gous training of thenumerous youth thus
cast upon us. More than three hundred
were received into our schools during the
winter; not only female children, but
grown.up young women, and boys and
lads. In this exceptional case we de-
parted from our usual system, which had
hitherto been confined to the education
of females. Our school.house, capable of
holding six hundred pupils, presented a
sight that would have gladdened the
hearts of our fellow Christians in Amer
lea. Through the medium of these, our
pupils, we became acquainted with their
families. These were regularly visited,
and their condition ascertained. Scrip
ture readings were introduced, and have
been regularly kept up by our excellent
co-laborers, Miss Marian Muir and Miss
Mason. They have two regular congre-
cations for this purpose. We have felt
constrained, under fhe circumstances, to
continue the regular instruction of the
Cretan youth in our schools during the
whole of the summer. Our annual recess
Of two months, during July and August,
we felt obliged to abandon. We found
it very oppressive, for we have rarely ex-
perienced so hot season, but there was
no alternative, and no relief. 1t will
give you more lively idea of the extent
of our labors when mention that Mrs.
Hill, Miss Muir, and Miss Mason have
under their visiting care a district con-
tanning over thousand Cretan refugees,
whose temporal wants are supplied, and
that fourteen hundred garments have been
made up in our mission school, from Feb
ruary to June. The demand upon this
department is daily becoming greater, as
the refugees, who are now arriving at the
rate of two thousand a week, are almost
entirely destitute. Pitiable objects in
deed. We are really filed with anxiety
with regard to their fate,
