We are at the chosen burial place of
this aged, weary, dying pilgrim, and
soon, with "'batcd breath and CULVER
ing lip" shall aid in consignipg him to
the companship Of the cycles which have
gone away to slumber forever in the
bosom of the dead past, where he, too,
may pillow his head for an eternal
sleep. He has been kind, yes, even
gracious, in his dealings with U.S.
Have we duly improved the opportu-
mites which he has given p? Are we
what We ought to be, in view of the
near approach Of death and tho grave.
The present is time for honest deal
ing with ourselves. We cannot escape.
Were We even now in the presence

Editor Transcript:-
SIR:-I wish to call the attention of
the readers of the TRANSCRIPT, to mat
ters in our School District, which is
No. 20. We have most excellent
school, kept by competent teacher-a
Miss Brown. The school progressed
most favorably until yesterday. Miss
B., at the commencement of the term,
adopted the practice Of opening the
exercises by reading part of a chapter
in the New Testament, and having the
pupils repeat the Lords Prayer in uni
son requesting all the school to unite
that felt so disposed, and those that dIl
not, to refrain from studying.
There IS a Catholic family here,
whose children attend the school,
One Of them yesterday broke out in
open rebellion against the devotional
exercises. If the Lords Prayer is anti
Catholic, it is something new to me-
Is that the doctrine taught by our
good bachelor fathers of the Church ?
if SO, they must be getting as particu-
lar as was the Priest who repeated the
18th verse of the 10Th of Matthew
Is the Catholic or any other sect to
dictate the course to be pursued by the
teac| .crs in our District Schools

the most meritorious and popular OF
any now claiming public attention. AL
though its style is allegorical, it har-
mon z's 80 y" fectly with all human
experience, that it seems but the natu-
raj expression of recognized facts.
Tho2e who have read Pilgrims
Progress will eagerly embrace an
opportunity to become more familiar
with its great author. The work is
furnished with on analytical introduc-
tIon by the Rev. DR.. John p. Gulliver,
which is a complete index tc the chur
acter of the "immortal drcamcr."-
Rev. J. D. Todd, Of Lansing, is agent
for the work, and he will endeavor
to make it reach every household
So laudable an enterprise should
be eninentIy successful. Probably
no man over lived who possessed
a stronger religious character than
Bunyon, and, certainly, no one has
ever more deeply or tavorably impress
ed the public mind. He should be
read by all.

Christmas.

Az ORIGINAL HYMN REcITED AT THE CoNGREGI
rloNAL SABBATH SCHOOL CONCERT, ON Chris
MAS EVE.
IT'S fitting that the childrcn's lips
Repeat the grand old story,
Of Jesus, Gods incarnate Son,
The Christ child, pure and holy.
No glittering pageant heralded
The advent Of the stranger;
Emmanuel came to earth, babe,
Pillowed in Bethlehcm's manger.
With "Pcaco on earth, good will to men,"
The air was sweetly ringing;
And humble shepherds caught the strain,
The angel hosts were singing.
A star, the harbinger Of peace,
Shone DER tho birthplace lowly,
OF Jesus, Gods incarnate son,
The st-child, pure and holy.
Twas thus the Saviour, "Prince Of Peace
Our Lord. tho King Of Glory"
Left heaven, and came upon the earth,
Oh strange and wondrous story.
Years passed-he died upon the cross,
Because of our transgrcssion
Assembled heav'nward, and with God,
For US, makes interccssion.
The star Of Bethlehem tonight,
Is shining softly Ger US,
And our dull ears can family catch,
The sweet angelic chorus.
May our unworthy songs of praise,
With their puro notes be blcnded
And may VIC sing in swcetcr strains,
When this poor IiIc is ended.

Children.

GEN FROM LoNGrELLow.
Come to me, O ye children!
For | hear you at your pay.
And the questions that perplcxcd me
Have vanished quite away.
Ye open the Eastern windows
That look toward the Gun,
Where thoughts arc singing swallows,
And the brooks Of morning run.
In your hearts arc the bird and the sunshin
In your thoughts the brooklct. flow,
But in mine is the wind Of Autumn,
And the first fall of the snow.
All what would tho world be to us,
If the children were more?
We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before.
What the leaves are to the forest,
With ght and air for food,
Ere tho sweet and tender juices
Have been hardened into wood
That to the world arc ehildren;
Through them it feels the glow
Of brighter and SUMMER climate
Than reaches the trunks below.
Come to me, O ye children!
And whisper in my ear
What tho birds and the winds arc singing
In your sunny atmosphere.
For what arc oil our contrivings,
And the wisdom Of our books,
When compared with young caresscs,
And the gladness Of your looks?
Ye are better than al the ballads
That ever were sung or said;
For ye are living poems,
And all the rest are dead.
