The Empty Box.
Some boys' 1 hare a large money-box,
but there is very little in it ; so Some peo
ple have a large head, but little know
ledge in it. This is a sad thing, because
the head is given ns that we may fill it
with good knowledge and good thoughts.
If we are not active in doing this, we sin
against ourselves, against our neighbor;
and against G-od.
Bo you see that man standing in rags,
so thin and so dirty, at the corner of the
street, asking for a job? He does not
know much, he has but little in his box,
and so no one cares to employ him. Bo
you see that man with a good warm coat
on, who has just passed him?. While he
was a boy he was always learning, he put
much good knowledge in his box, and now
he is a master, well off in the world, lives
in comfort, and wants nothing. What a
good thing it is to have something in
one’s box.
While yon are at home with your friends
you may seem to go on very well, even
though you are a dunce. Your father
works for you, and you are not called to
do anythmg for yourself. But it will not
alwayß be so. In a few years yon will
have to work for yourself. You will leave
school, perhaps leave home, and when you
seek for work, masters will ask, “ What
has he got in his box ?” If you have stored
it well, yon will obtain work, and get
§ood pay for it; if yon have been an idle
unce, and your box is empty, no one will
care to employ you; or if they do, you
will have the hardest work and the least
pay.
rut the question early and often to
yourself, “ What have I got in my box ?”
and do not grow up to reap the sad loss
and trouble which they must have who
neglect to fill the mind with useful Know
ledge, and especially with that best of all
knowledge—the knowledge of God’s word.
“Pat” and Charlotte. J|
“Pat” was an Irish boy, a genuine pad
die, a shrewd little fellow who could read
and write, and was withal a strong little
Catholic. But he had a good heart, and
loved very devotedly a lady—Charlotte
Elizabeth, who has written so many fine
stories for children—because she was very
kind to him. Une day Pat came to see
Charlotte with all the devotion of a real
missionary, and as the lady herself relates
it seating himself by her side, began talk
ing thus:
“ I wouldn’t like,” said he, “ that you
should go to hell.”
“ Nor I either, Pat,” said I.
“ But you are out of the thrne church,
and yon won’t be saved, and I must con
vart ye.”
“ That is very kind of you, my good
lad; if lam wrong, you cannot do better
than set me right.
“ Sure and 1 will.”
“ But how ?” inquired I.
“ With this,” said he, pulling out a small
pamphlet, nothing the cleaner for wear.”
“ You must learn my catechism, and it’s
you that will be the good Catholic.”
Belighted with the boy’s honest zeal, I
asked Mm where I should begin ; and he,
no less pleased at my docility, desired me
to read it all, and then get it all by heart.
I promised to do the first at any rate; and
oh, what a tissue of falsehood and blas
phemy that “ Butler’s Catechism” was!
Next morning my teacher came early.
“ Well Pat, I nave found out what makes
you anxious about me; here it is said that
none can be saved out of the true church.”
“That’s it, sure enough.”
“ But I do belong to the true church,
and I’ll show what it is —so I pointed
out to him two passages, and added,
“ Now, I do love our Lord Jesus Christ
in sincerity, and therefore I am one of
those to whom St. Paul wishes grace and
peace; and do you tMnk an apostle would
send his blessing to anybody who was not
of the true church ?”
Pat shook his head: “ That’s your cate
chism, not mine.”
“Yerytrue: Br. Butler wrote yours,
and God wrote mine,” holding up the Bi
ble, “ wMch is best ?”
“ That’s not the real Bible,” persisted
Pat; “my priest has the true Bible.”
“ Then ask Mm to lend you his.” .?
“ I wouldn’t get my ears pulled. would
I?” said he, smiling. “ But if he lent me
Ms Bible he must lend me a cart to bring
it home in, for it’s as big as this table.
Yours is too little, and doesn’t hold halt*
the truth. That is why you are so ignor
ant.”
“ I soon proved, by showing him Matt
thew Henry’s Commentary, that the Word
of God would lie in a very small compass,
the great hulk of the book being man’s
work. I also urged on him the absolute
necessity of reading what God had given
for our learning, and the danger of resting
on man’s assertion. Pat stood Ms ground
most manfully, astomshing me by the
Adroitness with which he parried my at
tacks, while pursuing, as he* hoped, the
good work of my conversion. For many
a day was the controversy carried on—
Butler versus the Bible—without any other
effect than that of bringing Pat to read
the Sacred Book for himself; but it open
ed to me the awful wiles of darkness by
whieh the poor and ignorant are blindea,
wMle for the more educated class such
polished sophistry as Milner’s is carefully
prepared. I reaped the fruit, however,
six years afterwards, when, in a little
English church, Pat kneeled beside me
ana Ms brother, a thankful communicant
at the Lord’s table.”

A Bad Mark.
It is a bad sign for a hoy to be seen
throwing stones at every dog, or pig, or

such a hoy has an Unfeeling heart. He

“The Chores.”
“ Have you done the chores, my son ?”
“ Yes sir, all except, I could not get that
brown steer into the stable that yon wal
loped so the other day—he’s acted like a
fool ever since.”
“ I’ll fix Mm !”
“ But father, don’t he grow worse for
“ Ah, Ire’s a knowing animal—getting
altogether too smart.”
“Well, I think he will profit by expe
rience, and keep out of the way, judging
of Ms actions lately. (Sotto voice) I don’t
believe in making a brute of myself by
beating a brute as father did that steer.”
“John, we must try and get him in—
put on your coat and help me. I can
make Mm march.”
“Well, hut if I were the poor steer I
should rather stay out doors than suffer
such a thrashing as you gave him the
other day. I don’t blame him for not go
ing in—believe I should rebel myself.”
“He didn’t get more than he deserved.
He knows his place as well as I do, and
I’ll teach him he must take it.”
The father is teaching the hoy a lesson
he would sometime in the future have liim
forget. They go towards the barn—the
father with a firm, excited step —the son
with his hands in Ms pockets, and a coun
tenance indicating his desires are not to
witness the “conquering” of the steer.
They enter the yard. “Here you are,
are you?” exclaims the sire in a voice
hardly human, steer hounds to
the other s*de of wc yard as though pur
sued by an engine. “ John, open that
door, and stand the other side of it, and
we will see whether he will go in or not,”
and seizing a stake the chase commences.
Bound and round the yard, pursued by the
farmer, goes the animd, without once no
ticing the door. He remembers the beat
ing, and shunß the spot. Whiz goes the
stake, and strikes against the fence—then
a stone, which strikes the horn of the ani
mal just .as he starts for the door, and
turns him staggering from Ms course.
“You wont go in, will yon? Wont,
will you ? Wont, will you ? We’ll see!
We’ll see,” and the blows fall thick and
tast upon the offending animal. He is
fastened, and cringing, receives a kick
and a blow as a parting salute, with the
sentence, “ There ! you’ll fast sir to-night
for this. I’ll teach you to walk in and
take your supper when other cattle do, or
go without it,
John don’t stop to see the blows or lis
ten to the sentence, but thrusts his hands
into his pockets and walks into the house
and soberly says, “ I do wish father would,
use a little reason himself—if he would I
do not think be would find his cattle so
unreasonable. I believe “that it is the
treatment they receive from Mm that
makes them so—there! what’s that?”
(goes to the door to listen) —“Oh, its
father wMpping the horses —must be re
freshing to be wakened from their dreams
in that manner. I tell you mother, if I
had a stock of cattle, and a hired man
should treat them as father does his. I’
would discharge Mm, forthwith-—wquktwld
have him on the farm at
brutal to”—
“ What's that. JoludH *’
“O, John thinkdH ;• ‘ /•- y good j
to beat stock— *. .ti
says the mother in a toiW; y,
“ Yes, not only worse, IHHPnnf noth

“ Perhaps you think I havev^^B?r> y

longest—you or me ?”
“ You, father, of course, and oughißg
be my senior in sense, but I can’t
feeling bad, yes guilty, when I see an ai9
mal pounded as you pounded that one
I believe it is wrong.” #
This resulted in a moodiness in the
whole family. John went to bed. The
mother and daughters resumed their sew
ing around the “ light-stand,” discussing
and giving directions to each other in a
whisper or semitone. While the father
took the Farmer to read, hut could not.
He finally dropped it on his lap and fell
to thinking. * * * * *
The girls had retired. Tile chapter had
been read, the prayer made, ana it was
characterized with a good deal of peni
tence, and expressions of unworthiness.
“ Mother, John is right. I have been

Our True National Security.
Our national greatness is engrafted upon
our religion. We boast no regal splendor,
and no titled and venerated nobility.—
Our glory is not found so much in fleets,
and armies, and military, and naval re
nown, as in those institutions which are
onr palladium and adornment. Just so
far as these are Christian , they are both
our defence and glory. • All other pro
gress, if the religion of the Bible does not
stand abreast with it, is progress in pow
er and wickedness. We occupy too wide
a space on the map of the world already,
unless we vigorously strive to elevate our
Christian character to the same parallel
with our secular advancement. There is
no fear that our secular advancement will
lag behind our Christianity. It will be
no blot upon our escutcheon that it is
radiant with truth, and encircled with the
halo of pure and undefiled religion. On
the other hand, wliat would cost blood
and treasure to control; what would de
mand diplomatic skill, and perplexing and
doubtful negotiation, to ward off; and
what would otherwise lay us under the
burden of degrading and impoverishing
vices, is effected with comparative ease
by the more extended influence of Chris
tianity. If we would exalt this land in
intellect, and foster in her generous youth
habits of thought, mental discipline, and
honorable character; if the virtues of our
fathers live in our posterity ; if the popu
lar element which imbues our institutions
is to remain our glory, and we are to at
tain the elevation for which God made us,
we must have a more widely diffused
Christianity. Would we be respected
abroad, and extort even from the iron
hearted and “ mail-clad nations” the ho
mage due to the wise and good; such is
the influence of moral causes, and the pro
cedure of a retributive providence, that
the wisest statesman will look for these
results, not so much to the fertility of our
soil, the abundance of our gold, and our
giant energy, as to a living and invigora
ted Christianity.— Dr. Spring.

The Pitchers.
An *,anecdote of tbe late Dr. Adam
Clarke wpl at least remind the reader of
the language of the apostle Paul, “ We
have this treasure in eartliern vessels.”
The gopd Doctor, when once preaching in
Ireland liis native country, spoke at con
siderable length on the freeness of the
telling Ms reasons that the water
of life j3ould be obtained without money
and without price. To his great annoyance,
at the close of liis sermon, a good man
rose to announce that a collection would
be immediately taken up for the support
of missions, in foreign lands, which was
accordingly done. Beturning to the fami
ly where he was staying, the preacher re
marked on the incongruity between his
sermon, and the collection; the lady of
the house, however, very promptly re
plied, “ True, doctor, the water of iife is
free, without money and without price,
but we must pay for the pitchers to carry
it in.” The company around smiled, the
children clapped their little hands, and
all were so much interested in the matter
as to contribute freely to the collection.
We imagine our friend at 38 Somerset
Street, in tliis city, would be glad to hear
from our readers, what they think of tins
matter.— Watchman & Deflector.
HfW” Mirth is like a flash of lightning,
that breaks through a gleam of clouds;
and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness
keeps a kind of daylight in the mind and
fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
A large fire waxes larger by that very
wind which blows out a small flame. It
is even as St. Peter saith: “If these tMngs
be in you, and abound, they make you
that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruit
ful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.”
The Law of Newspapers.
1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the
contrary, are considered as wishing to continue their
subscription.
2. If subscribers order >the discontinuance of their
newspapers, the publisher may continue to send them
until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the offices to which they are directed,
they are held responsible until they have settled the
bills and ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places without in
forming the publishers, and the newspapers are sent to
the former direction, they are held responsible.
5. The Courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers from the office, or Removing and leaving
them uncalled fyr, is prima facie, evidence of intentional
fraud.
6. The United States Courts have also repeatedly
decided that a Postmaster who neglects to perform his
duty of giving reasonable notice, as required by the
Post Office Department, of the neglect of a person tQ
take from the office newspapers addressed to him, ren
ders the Postmaster liable to the publisher for the sub
scription price.

-A. CHARMING- BOOK,
“XIFE IN ISRAEL.)’
Or “Portraitures of Hebrew Character. By Maria T.
/ Richards, author of “ Life in Judea.” 1 vol., 12mo.
Price sl.
THE simple purpose of this work is to invest with
new interest some of the most prominent eras of
Jewish history. It consists of three parts, each com
plete in itself, under the designation of “The Pil
grimage.” “The Reign of Solomon,” and “The Cap
tivity.” Though the parts are distinct and independent
of each other, yet the whole series is connected by a
chain of successive developments of one idea—that of
a coming Saviour. , ‘
The authoress has songlif, with the aid of a chaste imag
ination, to clothe the scenes and characters of Jewish
history, with life-like charms, and thus to present heri
readers a series of vivid pictures of those times which
pertain to the earlier annals of the Israelites. ;
“ Os this work, a recent brilliant correspondent of the
Home Journal spoke most admiringly. It is by the au
thoress of ‘ life in Judea,’ and the religious press seem
emphatic in their approbation and admiration of her,
genius. It is a kind of work whieh, when well done’
(as this is,) gives wings where the imagination wiost
longs for them—to soar away into those realms of
thought and memory, bounded by the traeing/of Holy
W fit.
“Her command of language, her severity of goot
taste, and the dignity and appropriateness with whicl
she manages the rather delicate and difficult proximit}
to Scriptural inspiration, show lier.inind to be of aver;
superior order. The library of religious books—sup
plying a very large and intelligent class of the readiig
public—has, in her, one of its best reliances for futu/o
supply.”— Home Journal.
“ Its historical and chronological fidelity ; its contr
ol ity to the wildest and best knowledge possessed of
the people and the time ; its eareful toning tea harmo

failing only in infrequent singular expressions; its
Christian -spirit, and its simple, pious reverence, at ogee
place it at the head of all efforts of its kind which
wo are familiar.” —Boston Traveller. , f /
“Its subjeots arc lofty and soul-elcrAb'ig; Its style is
