What n Child Saw.

Yesterday morning some people living ON
Macomb street entered house, TO find father
and mother beastly drunk on the floor and
their child, boy four years old, dead in his
cradle. The parents looked like beasts the
child wore the sweetest, tenderest smile on its
white face that any of them ever saw. Ii
had been ailing for days, aud its brief life
had been full of bitter woe; but vet the
women cried as they bent over the old cradle
and kissed the cold checks and felt of its icy
hands.
Father and mother lay down at dark the
evening before, and people passing by heard
the child crying and wailng. IL was too
weak to crawl out of the cradle, and its voice
was not strong enough 10 break the chains
of drunken stupor When the sun went
down and the eevening shadows danced across
the floor, and almost seemed 10 grasp at him,
the boy grew afraid, and cried out. The
shadows came faster, and as they raced
around the room and scowled darkly at the
lone child, he nestled down and drew the
ragged blanket over his head 10 keep the re-
yengeful shadows from seizing him. lie
must have thought his parents dead aud
how still the house seemed TO him
" It's dark, mother-it's dark I" The neigh
bors heard him wall but no one went in TO
comfort him and drive the shadows away
The night grew colder, the feet of pedestri.
ans ceased TO echo, and the heavy breathing
of the drunkards made the child tremble
and draw the cover still closer. His little
bare feet were curled up, and he shut his
eyes tightly to keep from seeing the black
darkness.
By-and-by the ragged blanket was gently
pulled away and the child opened his eyes
and saw a great light in the room.
Is it morning ?" he whispered, but the
drunkards on the floor slept ON.
Sweet, tender music came TO the child's
ears, and the light had driven every shadow
away. lie was no longer afraid. The aches
and pains he had suffered for days past went
away all at once.

Nothing is more easy than
to create laugh 10y a grotesque association
Of some friyolty with the grave aud solemn
words of Holy Scripture But surely this i.
profanity of the worst kind. BY this book
the religious life of men is quickened and
sustained. II contains the highest reyela-
tions Of Himself which God has made to
man. 1t directly addresses the conscience
and the heart and all the noblest faculties
of our nature, exalting our idea Of duty. CON
solng us in sorrow, redeemiug us from sin
and despair, aud inspiring US with the hopes
of immortal blessedness and glory Listen
ing 70 its words, millions have heard the
very voice Of God. IL is associated with the
sanctity of many generations of saints
such book cannot be fit material for the
manufacture Of jestS. For my own part,
though do not accept DR.. ,Johnson's well
known saying that a man who would make
pun would pick pocket" should be dis
posed to say that man who deliberately
and consciously used the words of Christ.
OF apostles, and Of prophets, for mere pur-
poses Of meniment, might have chalked a
caricature on the wall OF the Holy Of HOLES,
or scrawled a witticism on the sepulchre in
Josephs garden.
