A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
OLD PILGRIM.


This incident is connected with the death
Of Agnes Tinsley Brown, who died recently
in Florida, at the age of three years.
A short time before the commencement OF
the sickness of which she died, her father
had told her the story of Christ's taking lit
tie children in His arms and blessing them.
To bring it to her comprehension, and fix it
in her memory, he had framed it into the
for. 8. ST. s ,ss'' Il. f. . a;Es ss
he overheard her repeating the little story to
child of about her own age, and apparently
with much interest both to herself and her
little listener, and with remarkable accuracy
for child of her age, giving it just as he
had told it to her.
A few days after this, the Good Shepherd,
who gathers the lambs in his arms and folds
them to his bosom, came down and took this
lovely little child in His arms, and said to
her sorrowing friends, "Sufer this little
child to come unto mes" and folding her in
His bosom, He bore her tenderly and safely
alOft, to join the company of child angels il
heaven, where she would never know q sor
row or feel pain. How true it is, as the
Word of God teaches, coat of the mouths
of babes and aucklings thou hast ordained
praise
This little incident is full of love, comfOr
aud instruction, aud sorrOwing friends have
cup of comfort, brought right from thu
head fountain of the river of life, and swee
as the foretastes of heaven itself. Sow thu
seed of divine truth early; follow it with tn
nurture of the Lord, and God will surel!
bless the faithful parents labOra with ricl
and joyful harvest. j, b,

Broom Corn-Its Culture and Value

Take good, rich land, pillow about six inches
deep, and pulveriae the soil as fine as posi-
BILE. Secure good seed, and to make sure that
it will all come up, drop it into water and
skim eff all seeds that float, which can be
fed to chickens or stock /; the good seed will
sink. After having skinned eff all the
floating seed, throw off the water and dry
the sound seed, to have it ready for the drill.
Having laid off your land, the soil we'll
pulverised-there being no probability of
any more frost-then plant your seed in
drills about three feet apart with a seed
planter, which should be SO arranged that
the seed will drop about one and half inches
apart in the drill and covered not one inch
deep. If covered too deep, and cold, wet
weather comes on, it will rot and not come
up, and necessitate replanting.
When the corn is about three inches high,
commence to cultivate, and keep the ground
well stirred, rather drawing the soil from the
plant, which will give the Gun chance to
warm it near the roots. Keep your lar d
we'll cultivated until the stalks get about
twelve or fifteen inches high, when the

Some Queer Railway Builders.

There were workmen on the Pacific Rail
way even more curious than the Irish or Chi
nese navvies. During the summer of 1868
the Laramie River became very low, much
to the distress Of contractor who had GU
great many thousand cross ties--the tim
bers on which the rails are laid-and which
he expected to float down to the point where
the railroad was to cross. He was at first al
a loss to know what to do, but resolved
finally, to build dam across the river at va
rious points, and, when the stream was thus
made high enough, set lis RATS ahoat,--
Large parties of men, therefore, went to work
building the dams. No sooner would the
men leave eff work at night than thousands
of beavers would begin and work hard at the
dam during the whole night.
Water is always as necessary to the COM
fort of beavers as on this occasion it was to
the welfare of the contractor; and it was
probably for this reason, and not because
they wished to see the railroad finished, that
the beaver community joined in the labor of
building the dams st. Nicholas for Deem,

So Many HypOcrites.

A Sabbath School teacher was convers-
ing with one of his pupils upon the subject
of personal religion. la answer to an in
quiry, the young man gave as reason why
he did not embrace religion, that there were
80 many hypocritical professors Then he
added the names of persons prominent in So
cial position and in the church, who had been
guilty of great dishonesty and other vices.
"What profession do you intend to follow,
my young frieDd?"
"The mercantile"
"But there are SO many dishonest and
over reaching merchants, is it not wonder
that you choose such calling?
"That is one reason why l intend to
prove that there can be an honest merchant.
"And will you not, for the same reason,
choose religious life, if only to prove thai
there can be one consistent Christian 2"
How many are like this. young man max
ing the sins of professors an excuse for moi
embracing religion. One would think, to a
reasoning mind, the reverse would be the
case. For if there be so few real Chris
tians, there is the more reason that you
should become one, and your classmate be-
come one, and so on.-S. s. Times.

The Gift of Song.

A touching story is told Of little girl
sent By her parents from Spain, during a
time of religious persecution there, to take
refuge with some friends in England. The
vessel was lost on rock bound coast during
a severe storm; but the little girl was saved
through the efforts of some heroic men,
She was too young to tell her story, but, BY
series of providential events, was brought
at last to the house of friend of her parents
Just as, released from imprisonment, they ar
rived in England to seek their long, lost dar
ling. A familiar tune that the mother had
taught to her little girl in former days, be
came the clue that led to their joyful meet
ing.
A remarkable incident ID that of Scot
tish youth, who learned with pious mother
to sing the old psalms that were as house
hold words to them in the kirk and by the
Preside. When he grew up he wandered away
from his native country, was taken captive
by the Turks, and made slave 10 one OF
the Barbary States. But he never forgot
the songs of Zion, although he sung them in
strange land and to heather ears. One
night he was sOlacng himself in this man
ner, when the attention of some sailors on
board of an English man-ofwar was directed
to the familiar tune of sod Hundred, SO u
came floating over the moOnlit waves Al
once they surmised the truth, that one Of
their countrymen was languishing away biz
life as a captive. Quickly arming them
selves, they manned boat, and lost no time
in efFecting his release. What a JOY to hin
after eighteen long years passed in slavery
Should you not think that he would always
love the glorious tune Of sold Hundred?"
Children, never let your sweet young
voices be employed in using prOfane or IN
seemly words. Learn many hymns Coco
Martin Luther said, Singing hymns vii
keep the devil out of the heart" 1t is {
quaint saying, but it is true. Furnish tn
mind with good things and there will be NJ
room for evil. They will be like nails fas
tened in a sure place.

tudes have sacrificed their souls to it. Re-
member Judas and Demas. 1t has prOba-
bly, done more than any other sin to corrupt
Christianity.
Yet the lore of money is sin but little
thought of, because it is not generally deemed
disreputable The evil, however, is not the
less because men think lightly Of it: God
has sOlemnly declared "that the coVetous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God. =
Whatever be our religion, if it does not con-
quer this lust, it will leave us short of saliva
ton at last. The love of Christ and this
coyetous d" lOve of money!" are as wide apart
as the poles. Men have often tried to cher
ish both at the Same time, but "Ye cannot
serve God and msmmon."
