The Empty Cradle.

TO the mothers heart like dew
on a plant from which a bud
has perished. The plant lifts
upits head in freshed greenness
to the morning light; SO the
mothers soul gathers from the
dark sorrow through which she
has passed, a fresh Frightening
of her heavenly hopes.
As she bends over the empty
cradle, and in fancy brings her
sweet infant before her, a ray of
divine light is on her cherub
face. 1t is her son still, but.
with the seal of immortality on
her brow. She feels that heay-
en- was the only atmosphere
where her precious flower could
unfold without spotor blemish,
and she would not recall the
lost. But the anniversary of
his departure seems to bring
his spiritual presence near her.
e a .fFs
She INDUCES in that tender
grief which soothes, like an
opiate in pain, all her passages
and cares of life. The world to,
her is no longer filed with a
human love and hope-in the
future, so glorious with heay-
enly love and joy, she treasures
up. happiness which the worldly
unchastened heart never con-
ceived.
The bright fresh flowers with
which she decorated her room,
the apartment where the infant
died are emblems of the far
brighter hopes now dawning on
her day dream. She thinks of
the glory and beauty of New
Jerusalem. And she knows her
infant is there, In that world of
eternal bliss She has marked
one passage in that book-to
her emphatically the World of
Life--now lying closed onthe
toilette table, which she daily
reads-"Suffer little children,
and forbid them not, to come
unto Me, for such is the king
dom of Heaven.-[ Er. paper.

Journalistic Dignity.

so many journals, calling them Z
yesrespectable, ard eirculat-
ing often among the very best
class ofreaders, that are ever
ready to eXpend any amount of
praise upon any worthless OBJ
jects or projects, provided
that said "puff' is well
paid for. Very often even this
is done in cases where the OBJ
jects are of the most reprehen-
sible character, and ought to
receive the anathemas and not
the fulsome praise of the pub
lic press. More especially are
the newspapers of New Orleans
given to this most disgusting
and ridiculous practice, and we
might mention hundreds of in
stances in proof of the little re-
gard paid by some papers to
what is really one of the most
important features of a public.
journal We do not wish it to
be understood that we are OPP
posed to all manner of "puff-
ing," but we do claim that
there is a limit to the same, to
go beyond which makes it ap-
pear ridiculous, and degrades
the characterofthe journal that
allows itself to be used as the
tool of everybody, for the con-
sideration of a paltry sum, We
will take for example the lot

Sacred Songs at Home.

There are too many homes
from which the voice of song
is, in a manner, excluded. It
cheers the spirits; it develops
the finer facilities of the soul ];
it increases the mutual affec-
ton of the members of the fam
lily circle; it endears the old
home now, and will render the
remembrance of it dear in after
years. The following beauti-
ful thoughts are from the Sing
ing People +: l
"There are dear old songs of
Zion that whenever we hear
their first. chords struck, at
home or abroad, by friends or
strangers, by white or black,
with voice, with whistle, or with
instrument, how swiftly they
photograph to our thoughts the
image of kindred or friends,
who, having filled the measure
ofearth, and gone foreign with
Jesus, have left behind us as a
legacy an undying remem-
brance of their earnest worship
of song!
"Oh! sing those sweet and
sacred strains of praise in your
homes, as you gather for the
morning and evening devotion.
Sing, and teach your children
to sing, that, should they be
shipwreeked on the breakers OF
sin. orstruggle to enter into the
narrow path of the kindom,
some dear old melody, like a
life-boat, shall meet them strug-
Cling amid the waves of de-
spair, and bear them safely to
the mercy seat.
"The remembrance of the lit
tie prayer our mother taught
the earnest petitions from the
heart-stone of home for the lit
tie flock there gathered on the
bended knee the incense oi
the music, joyfulin the love and
service Of Christ, that father
and mother, and sister and
brother, breathed so long ago
how lovingly they walk the
aisles of memory together; in.

The Art Of Reticence.

consummate art, in appearing
absolutely frank, yet never
telling anything which is not
wished to be known, in being
pleasantly chattyrand CONVEX
sational, yet never committing
ones self to a statement Or an
opinion which might be used
against one afterward-dYs ce-
las artem, in keeping ones own
counsel as well as in other
things. 1t is only after a long
acquaintance with a person of
this kind that you find out that
he has been substantially reti-
cent throughout, though ap-
parently so frank. Caught by
his easy manner, his genial
talk, bis ready sympathy, you
have confided to him not only
all you have of your own, but
all you have of other peoples;
and it is only long after, when
you reflect quietly, undisturbed
by the magnetism Of his pres
ence, that you come to the
knowledge OF how reticent he
has been in the midst of this
seeming frankness, and how
little reciprocity there has been
in your condolences together.
You know such people for years
and you never know really
more of them at the end than
you did in the beginning. You
cannot lay your finger on a fact
that would in any way place
them in your power; and
though you did not notice it at
the time, and don't know how
it has been done-now you feel
that they have never trusted
you, and have all along care
fully avoided anything like
confidence. But you are at
their mercy by your own rash
mess, and if they do not destroy
you it is because they are reti-
cent for you as we'll as toward
you; perhaps because they are
good-natured, perhaps because
they despise you for your very
frankness too much to hurt
you; but, above all things, not
because they are unable. How
You hate them when you think
2 of the skill with which they
l.
took all that was offered to
them, yet never let you see they
gave nothing back for theiro own
i, part-rather by the jugglery oi
manner, made you believe they
were giving back as much as
they were receiving! Perhaps
it was a little ungenerous; but
they had the right to argue
thati you could not keep youl
own counsel you would not bt
likely to keep theirs, and it was
n only kind at the time to let you
hoodwink yourself. so that yot
