MISSIONARY LABOR.
It ia not thine, in this thy native land,
To lire, to labor, and to find a grave;
For God hath called thee in his cause to toil,
Among the hoUhen, far across the wave.
’ Tis thine to .“bow to b!iu led, guilty tnen,
(Who ne’er have heard of Christ the ii a eerie friend,)
The path that leads to purest bliss above,
To hopes unfading, joys that never end.
’Tis thine to point them to the Saviour’s cross,
And bid them to that cross for refuge fly;
Amidst the changing scenes of earth, to rest
-In faith upon that cross; then joyful die.
Thou wilt not envy those who here remain,
eyes will ne’er behold a heathen shore,
Employed in daily labors for the Lord,
Thy heart will say, “O God! I ink no more.”

Tho Law of Sucoess.
“I never saw such a boy as Henry Ames
is,” said John IlarrjngUm,” ho always
succeeds in making those around him do
as lie pleases. Ido believe ho will get to
be president of the United States before ho
dies.
‘‘Who is Henry Ames?” said Mr. Ilall,
a visitor from a distant part of tho st ate.
“Ho is a boy who goes to our school,
and makes all the boys do as he says,”
replied Henry.
“I suppose ho must be a very good boy,
to have so much influence.”
“No, sir, he is not a good bov at all.
2 \o one thinks him to be a good hoy; but
he, in some v.';tv, gets them to do whatever
be wishes.”
“What has bo been doing now?” said
Mr. Harrington.
“JIo has made the boys choose him ora
tor for tho next fourth of July. They
didn't mean to have him for the orator—l
heard a great many say they would not
vote for him; but. when the time came, he
had a majority.”
“How many votes were there?”
“About twenty-five.’’
“And how many candidates were there
f>r the honor in question.”
“There were five.”
“And lie got a majority over them all.
lie must have a great many friends, to
get more votes than all the other candi
dates.”
“fie had not more votes than all the
others put together; but lie had more than
ar.v one else.”
“Ah, very well; you tdeet by a plurality,
and not by a majority of votes. You said,
just now, he had a majority; you did not
speak with accuracy, you observe.”
“ riease remember the difference he
t'.v"sa a majority and a plurality of votes,
John,” said his father.
“) es, sir. ’
A number of Mr. Harrington’s friends
came in and interrupted the conversation.
The next evening it was resumed. “Fath
er,” said John, I have found out in what
way Henry managed to get a plurality of
wirtnwi p,-, in f.Hiu.i uii
how many votes he could command, and ,
then ho went to work slyly to get up ns
many other candidates as lie could. He
told Sam Shaw, who lives away off in the
hollow, that he ought tola; orator. He.
told him that tho village boys ought not
to have all tho honors. ‘You get the boys
t hat come from the hollow, to vote for you,’
I, aid Ilcnry to Sam, ‘and I will get tho
bovs from our place to vote for you, and
we will elect you. You say nothing; but
get vour boys to vote for you.’ ”
“How many votes did Sam got?” said
Mr. Harrington.
“The four boys that live in the hollow
voted for him, anil nobody else. Ho him
self voted for Henry.”
“What for?”
“Henry told him that it would not look
well for him to vote for himself, and that
he might voto for any one who did not
want tho place—for him for example. lie
gave him a vote, and Sam put it in.”
“Well, four votes wore disposed of: what
next?”
“There were three or four boys that
don’t know much, whom James Thomp
son tried to persuade to vote for Henry,
but they don't like him at all, and would
not vote lor him. James asked them if
they would vote for him, and they said
ves. So he held them to their promise,
while he voted for Henry. Henry put
him up to the trick.”
“Well, three or four more votes wore
disposed of: what next.”
‘ J don’t exactly know what else Henry
did, except that he made Lyman Lewis,
who was tho regular candidate of the vil
lage boys, think lie was going to vote for
. him; but he didn't. He voted for him
eelf.”
I suspect he is uot the first politician
who lias dono that tiling. Henry has gain
ed his point so far as the oration is con
cerned; but he lias not gained any reputa
tion for integrity by his course, has lie?”
“No, but ho don’t care anything about
that. All he wanted was to Ihj orator.*’
“lie will manage in someway to suc
ceed; he always does. The teacher says
that honesty is the best policy; but it don’t
seem to me to be so. There is William
Powers: he is honest and upright: when
he says a thing, all the boys believe him.
He never deceives, aud never plays any
tricks; but Henry always outwits him and
gets the better of him.”
“ Whose reputation is worth tho most.—
William’s or Henry’s?”
“William’s reputation is worth tho most,
but Henry always gets the most power.”
“You are studying natural philosophy,
are you not?”
“Yes, sir.”
“What .subject are you studying?’’
“Gravitation.”
“Have you learned what the law of
gravitation is?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Can any one disobey it with impunity!”
“I do not know, sir.”
“Suppose you build a house or erect a
column in defiance of the laws of gravita- :
tion: will the house or the column stand?” }
“No, sir.”
“Why not?” can’t yon manage in some
way to get round the law?”
“No, sir, the law is unchangeable.”
“Who enacted, so to speak, the law of
gravitation?”
“The Creator.”
“Do you think that the moral law of God
is less unchangeable than the law of gravi
tation?”
“1 do not know sir.”
“Consider for a moment. The moral
law, the law of rectitude, is the transcript
of the unchangeable nature of God. The
law of gravitation is a law made bv God
for the government of matter. Which
should you think likely to be most un
changeable?”
“'llie law of rectitude.”
“Undoubtedly. No man can build in
defiance of the law of gravitation and pros
per,—much more he cannot build in defi
ance of the moral law and prosper. A
man may build a tower, without due re
gard to the law of gravitation, and it may
stand for a time; but in the end it will
surely fall. And so be who acts without
due regard to the law of rectitude may
succeed for a time; but in the end he will
surely fail. Wlmt your teacher means by
saying that honesty is the best policy
(though I do not like the form of expres
sion) is, that true success can be gained
only by doing right. If you were build
ing a house, you would not envy tho man
that run up his walls faster than you, if
you were sure they would soon tumble
down; do not envy those, who like Henry,
succeed for a time by wickedness; you
know they must ultimately fail. Time and
permanent success can be gained only by
acting in accordance with the unchange
able, eternal laws of rectitude.” — N. Y.

ThoGood'wife.
There can be no doubt that a good wife
is a great blessing, and it is also true, that
all wives desire to be good. Man}’, how
ever, think they can be good without ex
ertion. This is an error. ‘ Mental exertion,
aud sometimes sacrifice of feeling, are re
quired. But see the reward. The influence
of a. good wife for good or evil is immense.
The power of a wife for good or evil is irre
sistible. Home must be the seat of happi
ness, or it must be forever unknown. A
good wife is to a man wisdom and courage,
and strength and endurance. A bad one
is confusion, weakness, discomfiture and
despair. No condition is hopeless when
the wife possesses firmness, decision and
economy. There i3 no outward prosperity
which cam counteract indolence, extrava
gance and folly at home. No spirit can
long endure bad domestic influence. Man
is strong, but his heart is not adamant.—
Ho delights in enterprise and action; but
to sustain him lie needs a tranquil mind
and a whole heart. He expends nis whole
moral force in the conflicts of the world.
To recover his equanimity and composure,
tiTO mui.HffhHmn ft
peace, of cheerfulness, of comfort, and his
soul renews its strength, and again goes j
forth with fresh vigor to encounter the j
labor and troubles of the world. But if at j
home he finds no rest, and is there met i
with bad temper, sullenuess, or gloom, or
is assailed by discontent, or complaint, or
reproaches, the heart breaks, the spirits are
crushed, hope vanishes, and tho man sinks
into despair.
Tho Lovo of Home.
It is only shallow-minded pretenders who
either make distinguished origin a matter
of personal merit, or obscure origin a mat
ter of personal reproach. Taunt and scof
fing at the humble condition of early life
affect nobody in America but those who
are f lolish enough to indulge in them, and
they are generally sufficiently punished by
the published rebuke. A man who is not
ashamed of himself need not be ashamed
of his early condition. It did not happen
to me to he born in a Jog-cabin, but my
elder brothers aud sisters were born in a
log-cabin raised among the snow-drifts of
New Hampshire, at a period so early that
when the smoke first rose from its rude
chimney, and curled over the frozen hill,
there was no similar evidence of a white
man’s habitation between it and the settle
ments on the rivers of Canada. Its re
mains still exist; I make it au annual vis
it. 1 carry my children to it to teach them
the hardships endured by the generations
which have gone before them. I love to
dwell on the tender recollections, the kin
dred ties, the early affections, and the nar
rations and incidents which mingle with
all I know of this primitive family abode.
I w eep to think that none of those who in
habited it are now among the living; and
if ever I fail in affectionate veneration for
him who raised it, and defended it against
savage violence and destruction, cherished
all domestic comforts beneath its roof, and
through the fire and blood of seven years’
revolutionary war shrunk from no toil, no
sacrifice, to serve his country, and to raise
his children to a condition better than his
own, may my name, and the name of my
posterity, be blotted for ever from the mem
ory of mankind. — Dan id TUeJjter.
Importance of the Beautiful.
What are half the crimes in the world
committed for? What brings into action
the best virtues? The desire of possessing.
Os possessing what? Not mere money but
every species of the beautiful which money
can purchase. A man lies hid in a little,
dirty, smoky room for twenty years of his
life,* and sums up as many columns of fig
ures as w-ould reach half round the earth,
if they were laid at length; he gets rich;
what does he do with liis riches? He buys
a largo well proportioned house, in the ar-
I rangementof his furniture he gratifies him
selfw'ith all the beauty which splendid col
ors, regular figures, and smooth surfaces
can convey; ho has the beauty of variety
and association in his grounds; the cup out.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX.
ot which lie drinks his tea is adorned with
beautiful figures; the chair in which he
sit 9 is covered with smooth, shining leath
er; his table-cloth is of the most beautiful
damask; mirrors reflecting light from every
quarter of the room; pictures of the best
masters feed his eye with all the beanties
erf imitation. A million of human crea
tures are employed in this country in min
istering to this feeling of the beautiful. It is
only a barbarous, ignorant people that can
ever be occupied by the necessaries of life
alone. If to eat, drink, and to be warm,
were the only passions of our minds, we
should all be what the lowest of us all are
at this day-. Thslove of the beautiful calls
man to fresh exertions, and awakir.s him
to a moral, noble life; and the glory of it
i3, that as painters, and poets sing, and
statuaries carve, and architects rear up the
gorgeous trophies of their skill,—and as
everything becomes beautiful and orderly,
and magnificent.—the activity of the mind
rises to still greater and better objects.—
The principles of justice are sought out;
the power of the ruler and the rights of the
subjects are fixed; man advances to the en
joyment of rational liberty and to the es
t ablislunent of tho ;e great moral laws which
God has written in our hearts, to regulate
the destinies of the world. —Sidney Smith.
Humming Birds.
We take the following from that charm
ing book called “Rural Honrs.” It is an
extract from a lady’s diary, and bears date
the loth of June:
Saw a number of humming-birds—they
are particularly partial to the evening hours.
One is sure to find them now toward sun
set, fluttering about their favorite plants;
often there are several together among the
flowers of the same bush, betraying them
selves, though unseen, by the trembling of
the leaves and blossoms. They arc ex
tremely lbml of the Missouri currant —of all
the early flowers it is the greatest favorite
with them; they are fond of the lilacs also,
hut do not care much for the syringe; to
the columbine they are partial, to the bee
larkspur also, with the wild bergamot or
Oswegotea, the speckled jewels, scarlet
trumpet-flower,red clover, honeysuckle and
the lychnis tribe. There is something in
the form of these tube-shape blossoms,
whetlier small or great,, which suits their
long, slender bills, arid possibly, for the
sirne reason, the bees cannot find such
easy access to the honey, and leave more
in these than in the open flowers. To the
lily the humming-bird pays only a passing
compliment, and seems to prefer tli# great
tiger-lily to the other varieties; the rose he
seldom visits; he will leave these stately
blossoms any day for a head of the com
mon red clover, in which he especially de
lights. Often of a summer’s evening have
we watched the humming-birds flitting
about the meadows, passing from one tuft
of clover to another, then resting a mo
ment on a tall spear of timothy grass, then
off again to fresh clover, scarcely touching
the other flowers, and continuing frequent
ly in tho same field until the very lastcst
twilight. * -
It"is often snpposafl that our little frk&id
seeks only the most fragrant flowers; lire
blossoms 011 the Western praries, those of
Wisconsin at least, and probably others
also, are said to have but little perfume,
and it is observed that the humming-bird
is a stranger there, albeit those wilds are a
perfect sea of flowers during the spring and
summer months. But the amount of
honey in a plant has nothing to do with its
perfume, for we daily see the humming
birds neglecting the rose and tho white
lily, while many of their most favorite
flow-ere, such as the scarlet honeysuckle,
the columbine, the lychnis tribe, the trum
pet-flower, and speckled jewels, have no
perfume at all. Other pet blossoms of
theirs, however, are very fragrant, as the
highly-scented Missouri currant, for in
stance, and the red clover, but their object
Booms to be quite independent of this par
ticular quality in a plant.
The fancy these little creatures have for
perching on a dead twig is very marked;
you seldom see them alight elsewhere,aud
tho fact that a leafless branch projects
from a bush, seems enough to invite thsm
to rest; it was but yesterday we saw two
males sitting upon the same dead branch
ofa honeysuckle beneath the window. —
And last summer there chanced to be a lit
tle dead twig, at the highest point of a lo
cust-tree, in sight from the house, which
was a fivorite perching spot of theirs ful
some weeks; possibly it was the same bird,
or the same pair, who frequented it, but
scarcely a day passed without a tiny little
creature of the tribe being frequently seen
there. Perhaps there may have been a
nest close at hand, but they*build cunning
ly, making their nests look so much like a
common bunch of moss or lichen, that they
are seldom discovered, although they often
build about gardens, and usually at no
great height; we have known a nest found
in a lilac bush, and sometimes they are
even satisfied with a tall coarse weed; in
the woods, they are said to prefer a white
oak sapling, seldom bail ling, however,
more than ten feet from the ground.
Though so diminutive, t hey are bold an 1
fearless, making very good battle when ne
cessary, and going about generally in a
very careless, confident way. They fly
into houses more frequently than any oth
er bird, sometimes attracted by plants or
flowers within, often apparently by acci
dent, or for the purpose of exploring. Tho
country people have a saving, that when a
humming-bird flics in at a window he
brings a love-message for someone in the
house; a pretty fancy, certainly, for Cupid
himself could not have desired a daintier
anant courier. Unfortunately, this trick
of flying in at the windows is often a very
serious and fatal one to the poor little crea
tures themselves, whatever felicity it may
bring to the Romeo and Juliet of the
neighborhood; for they usually qniver
about against thecCiliug until quite stunn
ed and exhausted, ana unless they are
caught and setat liberty,soon destroy them
selves in this way. We have repeatedly
known them found dead in rooms little
used, that had been opened to air, and
which they had entered unperceived.
They are not so very delicate in consti
tution as one might suppose. Mr. Wilson
remarks that they are much more numer
ous in this country than the common wren
is in England. It is well known that we I
have but one variety, in this part of the
continent; there is another in Florida, and j
there are several more on the Pacific coast, !
one reaching as far north as Nootka
Sound. They frequently appear with 113
before the chimney swallows, and I have
seen one about our own flower-borders, du
ring a mild autumn, as late as the first of
December: they usually disappear, how
ever, much earlier, remaining, perhaps, a
month or six weeks later than the swul- j
lows. They winter in the tropics, and are
said to make their long journeys in pairs, j
which look as thoygli they mated for life,
like some other birds.
The Rat.
No other animal is placed in circumstan- j
ce3 which tend so continually to sharpen j
its w-its, as the rat; nor does any other ap- j
pear to be ofa more improvable nature. — j
lie is of a most intelligent family, being <
related to the beaver. And in civilized !
countries he is not a wild creature; for he I
follows the progress of civilization, and j
adapts his own habits of life to it, so as to j
avail himself of its benefils.
The “pampered goose,” who, in Pope’s
Essay, retorts upon man, and says that man
- made for the use of geese, must have ;
been forgetful ofplueking-time, as well as j
ignorant of the rites that are celebrated in :
all oldfashioned families on St. Michael’s ‘
day. But the rat might, with more appa
rent reason, support such an assertion. —
He is nut mistaken in thinking that corn- j
stacks are as much for his use, as for the i
farmer’s; that barns and granaries are his
winter magazines; that the miller is his I
acting partner, tho cheesemonger his pur- ;
veyor, and the storekeeper his steward. — ;
He places himself in relation with man, |
not as his dependent, like the dog, nor like !
the cat as his ally, nor like the sheep as j
his property, nor like the ox as his servant,
nor like the horse and ass as his slaves, nor j
like the poultry who are to “ come and be j
killed” when Mrs. Bond invites him : but
as ins enemy—a bold borderer, a Johnny j
Armstrong or Rob Roy, who acknowledges I
no right of property in others, and lives by 1
spoil.
heresoever man pocs, rat follows, or j
accompanies him. Town or country are j
equally agreeable to him. He enters upon !
your house as a tenant at will, (his own,
not. yours,) works out for himself a covered I
way in your walls, ascends by it from one |
story to another, and leaving yon the larger !
apartments, takes possession of the space i
between floor and ceiling, as an entresol j
for himself. There lie has his parties, and 1
his revels, and his g illopadcs, (merry ones j
th y are,) when you would be asleep, if it !
were not for the spirit with which the youth j
and belles of rat-land keep up the ball over j
your head. And you are more fortunate I
than most of your neighbors, if he does not .
prepare for himself a mausoleum behind [
your chimuey-pioee or under your hearth- j
stone; retire into it when lie is about to die, |
and very soon afford you full proof that j
though he may have lived like a hermit, ;
It’s relics are not in the odour of sanctity, j
You have then the additional comfort of j
knowing that the spot so appropriated will
henceforth be used either as a common ■
cemetery, or a family vault. In this re- !
spect, as in many others, nearer approach
es are made to us by inferior creatures than i
are dreamt of in our philosophy.

Recipe for Pumpkin Since. —Cut the:
pumpkin as you would a citron melon for !
preserving. Boil in plenty of water until
tender. Take out the pumpkin. For 12
lbs. pumpkin, add to the liquor 6 lbs. sugar,
and one of sliced lemons. Put back the
pumpkin and slew slowly until thorough- i
y one.
Recipe for Pumpkin Apple- Pic. —Select
a pumpkin, one of deep yellow color, hard :
to cut, and of sweet, rich taste. Stew and j
mash fine. To one quart of pumpkin, add
two large spoonfuls of apple molasses, and j
two teaspoonfnls of sugar: spice to the ‘
taste, and bake in crust as dried apples, i
If prefered richer, increase the quantity
of sugar; and in place of apple molasses 1
maple molasses with a little vinegar may
he used.
Shoes. —Whenever shoes or boots are ta
ken from the feet, it will greatly prolong
the upper leather from cracking, if the
wearer was to bend back the sole of the
shoe on the knee, or the hack of a chair,
and also pinch up the upper leather; ii
should be done when warm from the feet.
Shoes worn only on oo a week should be
done in this manner every Sunday night.
When put on again the next Sunday mor
ning, they will have the feel of anew pair.
I was told this by a shoemaker out of busi
ness, as a secret, some years ago, and have
always attended to it since with a great
saving to my pocket.
To Boil Eggs Hard. —Never boil egsrs
for salads, sauces, or any other purpose-,
more than ten minutes, and when done
place them in a basiu of cold water for five
i minutes to cool; take off their shells, and
| use them when required.
Short-Broad. —Rob one pound of butter
| and twolvo ounces of finely-powdered loaf
sugar, into two pounds of Sour, with tlie
liaml; muko it into a stiff paste with four
eggs, roll cut to double the thickness of ft
penny-piece, cut it into round or square
cakea, pinch the edges, stick slices of can
died peel and some caraway comforts on
the top, and bake them on iron plates in a i
warm oven.
