She said these two lines over and over tc
herself as if ponderng upon their meaning
and then closing her book, she went Into the
garden and built little altar Of moss, and
laid beautiful rosebud upon it,
Then she knelt, and folding her little hands,
she prayed her Father in heaven to accept
her sacrifice.
After her return from church she went
to see her little altar, and, 10 the moisture
of the moss and the warmth of the sun had
caused the bud to expand to lovely rose.
Then the little girl clasped her hands with
joy, for she thought that God had caused the
bud to burst forth into blossom as a sign that
her little Offering was accepted
Aud must not this simple act of love and
faith have been wel-pleasing in His sight2
He notices our every action, however slight
and reads our every thought.
No act, however simple, by which the
smallest child tries to show mis- love to the
dear heavenly Father, is passed by unnoticed.
Dear little ones, offer up to Him in the
morning Of your lives your own hearts, with
all their dewy freshness and sweetness, anu
they will be no vain sacrifice"

It rested DER their sacred tent,-,;.- e,

And they in desert pathway ,trod. u

Tho bin for tho abolition Of the In.
como tax was passed by tho U. s.
Senate on the 2Oth, nncr q debate In
whitehall the arguments for and against
the tax were stated. Among the
reasons urged for the retention Of tho
tax was that It's abolition, In face OF
the opposition Of The Secretary Of the
Treasury, would be equivalent to a
Of want Of confidence in that Off.
Ger, which would, under like circum-
stances, IN England, cause the Ministry
TO retire at once. But the Senate
evinced willingness TO submit even
to the infliction of such disaster as
Secretary Boutwoll's resignation, and
passed the bill by majority Of one.
1t applies to the Income tax Of 1870,
tho repeal taking effect from the 3lst
Of December, 1869. As the tax on
salaries OF government officials was
deducted up TO the lst of July, 1870,
II would appear to be but just and
proper that the amount so cxactcd
from them should DO refunded. The
bill will now go to the House, where
its success is not SO very assured
There is preponderance of members
from the Western and Southern sec
tons, and from the rural districts gen
orally, whose constituents, not being
liable in any considerable number to
the payment of this tax, are quite
willing and desirous that it should be
retained, on the principle that we can
usually bear our neighbor's sufferings
with Christian fortitudc. These Rep,
resentativcs have hitherto opposed the
abolition of the income tax, and will
probably continueto do So We trust,
however, that The all but unanimous
expression of public opinion on this
subject will have its effect on the
House, and lessen the opposition 10
this measure of public justice and good
policy.-N. Y. Herald.
