hold the advantage may not be

FooD FOR INFANT MINDs.-W G
have received the first number
of a now Sunday school paper just
issued in Chicago. 1t has for it's
motto "Onward to Hcavon," and
1T contains q request for n notice
from other papers. One Of tho
most prominent of tho items IN it
is tho following:
"Old Bangs was little too fond
OF his bittors, and one day, after
taking a sniftor or two too many,
no lay down by tho roadside to
sloop. A buzzard observed him,
and thinking he was dead, alight-
Cd on his breast and pccl1cd him
in tho faco. Whoroupon old
Bangs looked up and said, You're
q leotlo bit too smart; T amt dead
yot."
We do not profess to know much
about tho best methods of instruct.
ing children, but this seems to us
to be just tho kind OF intellectual
food to fill tho infant mind with O.
yoarning for pure religion, and to
dispose it to seek to find poaco in
holiness. Tho child whose ton
dcncy to yield to the impulses of
original sin, impcls it to walk in
tho path Of wickodncss, naturally
would embrace tho truths Of Chris
tianlty with impctuous ardor, i'm
modiatcly after reading about tho
snifters Of old Bangs. and if tho
illusions to bittors did not con.
vince such an cvil-disposcd babo
of tho instability Of all earthly
happiness, certainly tho convcr-
sation between Bangs and tho
buzzard would create an irrepressi.
bio longing for celestial joys. We
can cordially recommend such a
papor as thus. q .-

JOHN JANMHN'S SERMON.

The minister said last night, says he, 6
."Don't DO afraid of'giyn'; Il
your life ain'tnothiu' to other folks,
Why, what's the use O. livin'2"
And that's what says to wife, says |,
There's Brown, the mis'rnblc sinner,
Ho'd sooner beggar would starve than give
cent towards buyin' dinner.
Itoll you our minister's prime he is, .
But couldn't quite determine,
When heard him a-givin' it right aud left,
Just who was hit by his sermon, .|
OF course there couldn't be no mistake
When he talked Of long g.windcd prayin',
For Peters and Johnson they sot and scowlcd
At every word ho was Sayin'.
And tho minister he went on to say,
"Thcrc's various kinds O chcatin'.
Ahd religions as good for every day
AS II Is to bring to mcctn'.
Idon't think much of II man that gives
Tho Lord 'Amens' at my preachin',
And spends his time the followin' week
Z In cheatin' and oycr-rcnchin'"
guess that dose was bitter enough
For man like Jones to swallcr;
Butt noticed he didn't open his mouth,
Not once, after that to hollcr.
Hurrnh, says I, for the minister
OF course | said 1t quiet
Give us somc moro Of this open talk
Itsycry refreshing diet. 'tt}'t
The minister hit 'cm every time;
And when he spoke of fashion,
Aud a-rlggin' out in bows and things,
AS woman'S rulin passion,
And a-comin' to sec the styles,
Icouldn't help a-wnkin
And hudgi' my wife, and says |, "Thats
.yI" you,"' ..!.
And guess it sot her thinkin'.
Says to myself, that sermons pat;
But man is queer creation;
And much afraid that most O. the folks
Won't take the application.
Now If he Ind said word about
My personal mode O sinnn',
I'd have gonc to work to right myself,
And not set here GRIMM.
81 Just then the minister says hc
y "And now Iyo come to the fellers
Who'vc lost this shower by usin' their
friends
AS sort O. moral umbrellas,
Go homc," says lie, "and find your faults,
Instead Of huntin' your brothers.;
Go homc," he says, "and wear the coats
You've tried to it for others"
My wife sho nudgcd, and Brown he winked,
And there was lots O. smilin',
And lots o. lookin at our pew;
1t sot my blood a-bilin',
Says to myself, our minister
Is gittin' little bitter; -. ~

In agony and shame, shc~ rushed

been trampled upon, and hor inno-
ccncc and ignorance abused, with
refinement Of cruelty that was
worse than tho devices of savagcs |!
Who can tell her misory and her
humiliation rs this camo over her,
when she passed out into the
street? What suffering was it to
think OF her visions Of rapture and
of her hours of found happi-
ness, in the light Of what sho now
had learned!
Whittier could she now 90 3
She could not return to that dwell.
ing, which would only remind her
OF her agony, and her bitter, crush
ing disappointment! She could
not bear again to sec her pupils
Sho could not resume her tasks
that would now seem far moro
drcary than ever, and yet sho had
no other home to so to. Oh, how
her loneliness and fricndlcssncss
were realized in this fearful hour |
She wandered on, not knowing or
caring whithcr she went, until tho
evening came, and she was then
by the Seine. AS she looked up
on it, that rivor seemed her only
friend. Existence was now n bur
den, and TO live was uncomfortable,
while death had no dread; it seem
cd hor only friend. Within these
quiet depths rest seemed to beck
on to her, and she thought how
sweet it would be to escape from
her shame and her sorrow, and to
be ongulfed in those quiet, soft wa
tcrs for ovormore.
The next day the papers con,
tanned the announcement quoted
above, and many q curious .stran-
ger went to the Morguc to SEQ the
remains Of which they had road.
AS they listlcssly toro d
through tho cold, damp room, and
saw, behind tho glass partition,
that corpse lying, on it's marble
slab, and partly covered by II cloth,
they little thought Of the signif
canoe ofthe scono-of what trag-
ody it was tho dcnoucmcnt.
The gay clerks in tho brilliant
store laughed, and still laugh, at
tho old maid they had so success
fully duped but God treasures up
the memory Of such doods, for,
whom the recording angle that in
scribos in tho impcrishablo ar
chivcs the story of mons livos and
doath, saw hor plunge into tho
dark river, he did not enter there
against hor namo tho stern word
"suicido," but, with indignant pom,
he traced in kindness there tho
trucr ono Of "mutdored." =. .
