FIRST TIME AT CHURCH.

A grave sweet wonder in the baby face,
And look of dignity and grace,
Such as a painter hand might love TO trace
pair of innocent trusting blue eyes,
That higher than the stained-glass window rise,
Into the fair and cloudless skies
The people round her sing, "Above the sky
There's rest for little children when they die
To her-thus gazing up-that rest seems nigh.
The organ peels; she must not look around.
Although with wOnderment her pulses bound
The place whereon she stands is holy ground.
The sermon over, and the blessing said,
She bows-as mother" does-her golden head;
And thinks of little sister who is dead.
She knows that now she dwells above the sky.
Where holy children enter when they die,
And prays God take her there too, by and by.
Pet, may lie keep you in the faith Away,
And bring you to that home for which you pray
Where all shall have their child-hearts back ont
day

Did Not KNOW II Was in the Bible.

A well-to-do deacon in Connecticut
was one day accosted by his pastor
who said: "Poor Widow Green's wood
is all out Can you not take her a
cord ?" "Well," answered the deacon,
Il have wood and I have the team; but
who is to pay me for it?" The pastor,
somewhat vexed, replied, II will pay
you for it, on condition that you read
the first three verses of Psalms xii. be-
fore you go to bed tonight" The dea-
con consented, delivered the wood, and
at night opened the Word of God and
read the passage; BLESSED is he that
considereth the poor; the Lord will de-
liver him in time of trouble. The Lord
will preserve him and keep him alive,
and Thou will not deliver him unto the
will of his enemies. The Lord will
strengthen him on the bed of anguish
ing; Thou wilt make all his bed in his
sickness" A few days afterward the
pastor met him again. GLOW much

SAVING MOTHER.

The farmer sat In his easy chair
Between the fire and tho lamplghps glare;
His face was ruddy and full and fair;
His three small boys In the the chimney

Conned the lines OF picture book;
His wife, the pride OF his home and heart,
Baked tho bnscuic and made the tart,

Tired and weary and weak and faint
She bore her trials without complaint
Like many another household saint
Content all selfish bliss above
In the patient ministry Of love.

Religion of the Presidents.

Washington and Garfield were the
only ones who were church members;
but all, with one exception, were men
who revered Christianity. Adams
married ministers daughter, and was
inclined to Unitarianism. Jefferson
was not believer-at least not while
he was chief magistrate. Madison's
early connections were Presbyterian.
Monroe is said to have favored the
Episcopal church. John Quincy Ad-
ans was like his father. Jackson was
Methodist and died in the COM
munion of that church. Van Buren,
was brought up in the Reformed Dutch
church, but afterward inclined to the
Episcopal church. Polk was baptised
by Methodist preacher after his term
of office had expired. Taylor was i'm
clined to the Episcopal communion.
Fillmore attended the Unitarian
church, and Franklin Pierce was a

Congregationalist church at Concord.
Buchanan was Presbyterian. Gen.

What foolish fellow that Despard

What foolish fellow that Despard
must be- observed Lord Galliard, with
annoyance, when he heard the news.
We'll, don't know that L should
call him so foolish, replied Lady Styrre,
who perhaps knew something of that
anonymous letter which Charley Des-
pard had received. Lady Styrre had
a daughter, whom Lord Galliard had
first w0oed and afterwards forsaken,
when the beautiful Mrs. Despard had
dawned. His lordship soon afterward
took up with Miss Styrre again, and
married her before the season had
ended.
Who knows what his fate and Des-
pard's might have been if he had sue
ceeded in laying the latter under an OBJ
legation to him for post in the GUS
