’ r* th! little apjt£t.
-
what do yon tnink that little
bpyls trying to do there, down upon
‘his knees, by the chair, close to the
where his little baby brother
is laving?
I don’t know,” you say ; “I
lie is trying to learn to write,
or else fie has got liis father’s pen
and ink, and is playing mischief,
when his mother set him to watch
and take care of the baby wliilo she
was gone. Or may be, he is trying to
make a picture to please the baby.’’
Very well; but I well tell you what
the picture is. About one hundred
and twenty-three years ago, there was
born in Springfield, Pennsylvania, a
little boy, whose name was Benjamin
West, and when he was quite small,
he became very fond of making pic
tures. And he could make very nice
pictures too. lie could take a pen, or
a pencil, or a piece of chalk, and draw
the picture of a chair, or a tree, or even
of the cat and dog, and do it so well
that it would look almost exactly
like the things themselve. One day,
when the baby was in the cradle, and
Benjamin was alone with it,he thought
he would draw its likeness. So he got
his father’s peu and a piece of paper,
and getting down on his knees by the
chair, he went to work. When his
mother came in, she was surprised to
see how much it looked like the baby.
Benjamin was about nine years old, I
think, at that time.
Now this same Benjamin West af
terwards became one of the most cele
brated painters, that has ever lived.—
He went from this country for the pur
pose of traveling in Europe ; and the
king of England became acquainted
with him, and liked him so much that
he persuaded him to stay and live
there. So he lived all the rest of his
life pretty much in London. He pain
ted a great many very beautiful pieces.
And these paintings, people thought
so much of that thej bought them and
gave very large prices for them. He
painted one picture of Christ Healing
the Sick, for which they gave him fif
teen thousand dollars ! And he paint
■rKiug George
him sixty-five
fish you could
ne celebrated
u cannot do
t will be quite
u and, and try to
ie others good and happy, and then
6 will be happy yourself, even if
♦you should not be great and rich.
You see in the picture little Benja
min West drawing the portrait of tfie
baby in the cradle.

THE FIRST STEP.
BY “L. T.”OF COLUMBUS.
Wv 11 i
room, and watch jour
[little cousin Willie ‘taking his first
tetep.’ Mark his little hesitating trem-
Polingstep; and see how shrinkingly
he pauses before he ventures on anoth
er step. Now he takes a bolder one,
nor pauses so long before advancing
his tiny foot, and see, he has let go the
Huger he held as a guide and protec
tion and is off alone, lie has fallen
now and hurt himself, and does not
like to attempt it again. But as soon
as the fright is over, mark he will try
once more, and thus will continue till
he walks without fear or dread. And
thus it is that little children, aye and
grown people too, are induced by Sa
tan to take first one step, then another,
and another, till he leaves them to
walk unhesitatingly in the'broad and
downward path.
I once knew a little-ffio-y whose par
ents were pious and moved in a high
position in life. Although society made
great claims on their time, still they
ditopot neglect to instruct their little
one in tjuj ways of wisdom, and teach
him y*.o divine precepts. He was left
fin s.arly childhood to the sole care of
widowed mother, his father dying
before little victor could estimate the
pth of his loss. Though his grief
Iks deep and passionate for one of so
an age, still the value of the
Gloved friend he had lost was un
known to his little heart, as it swelled
with the first deep sorrow it had ever
known. And when, as he clasped his
little hand in prayer, that first nightr
of his bereavement and knew that “he
would never again say, “Hod bless my
dear papa,” his little prayer was hush
ed by a wailing sob as he flung him
self into bis weeping mother’s arms.—
Months and years passed by till little
V ictor reached the age of eleven, and
during that period he enjoyed every
privilege which the child of an educa- j
ted lady and a Christian could desire.
She taught him step by step, lessons
from God’s holy Word—first about the
infant Jesus who, as a little child took
his first step in the path of life, and
when grown to be a man gave His pre
cious life to save all from condemna
tion who looked to Him alone for sal-,
vation. Thus she taught her little one;!
and prayed for a blessing on her in
struction with that yearning of heart
which only an anxiousdevoted mother
can teel for her child’s welfare. He
was naturally an amiable, good dispo
sitioned boy, but rather impetuous,
and easily irritated. And the reason
why lie was so; that he sometimes for
got to lean on his Saviour for support
and when he did he was sure to fall
into some of Satan’s devices who is ev
er going about like a roaring lion seek
ing who he can entice to do what is
wrong, or for theii hurt.
Our prayers and God’s mercies
are like two buckets in a well: while
the one ascends, the other descends;
so, while our prayers ascend to God in
heaven, his blessings and mercies de
scend to us upon the earth.
ISiP 3 Pray without ceasing.

INCIDENTS OF TRAVEL.
Number 2.
We remained in this old neighbor
hood about a week. We visited many
of our relatives and old friends. Many
of those who were children when last
, we saw them were now grown, mar
ried and settled in life. Many who
were then without hope and without
God in the world, are now pious and
efficient members of the church.—
Among these we were rejoiced to find
an only sister and her husband, now far
advanced in life, a sister-in-law and
many younger members their families.
We preached two days and nights at
the church, and several other times in
different parts of the neighborhood.—
It afforded us an inexpressible pleas
ure thus to preach and mingle w r ith
Christians, those whom we had long
loved as friends and relatives. Final
ly the time came when we must leave.
Duties and interests elsewhere de
manded our presence and attention.—
We bid adieu to many whom we shall
never again see on earth.
On horse, steam boat, and hack we
reached Juka about twelve o’clock on
the 4th inst., where we were again to
’ avail ourselves of the speed of the
iron horse. Juka is in the edge of
Mississippi, and on the Charleston &
Memphis R. R. Here are mineral
Springs called the Juka Springs.—
t There are live in number. They are
. situated in the outskirts of the little
; town, in a beautiful level spot of
ground. They are calebiate, tinctured
with sulphur. I predict for them
quite a run of custom when better im
proved and more generally known.
About 1 o’clock P. M., we left this
new and improving little village.—
This was Saturday evening. Lord’s
day was at hand, and the question
was, where and how shall we spend this
holy day? We had now been from
• home nearly two weeks, and not a
word had we heard from our families.
We were exceedingly anxious to reach
home; but conscience would not al
low us to desecrate God’s holy Sab
bath by continuing our journey, and
we concluded to spend it in Huntsville
one of Alabama’s prettiest and most
intelligent towns. It will be remem
bered that the Baptist have very little
interest in Huntsville. Wehavemade
repeated efforts to establish a perma
nent interest here. Several years ago
we had fair prospects of success under
the labors of Rev. W. H. Muse. But
j ust as success was about to crown his
efforts he became a Campbellite in doc
trine, then skeptical as to the truth of
Christianity, and then perhaps an infi
del, and after a few years of unsuccess
ful efforts in business, struggling with
poverty and misfortune, he sunk into
his grave a very irreligious, if not an
abandoned, man. This blasted almost
every hope of establishing a Baptist
church in Huntsville, and no further
effort was made for many years. Some
two years since our Domestic Board
employed bro. Strode, the present
occupant, to labor in that field. Pros
pects are still gloomy, but somewhat
brightening under the efficient labors
of this brother. He lias a neat and
substantial brick house under way.—
He has not, however, and probably
will not be able to secure in this field,
enough to complete this building.—
Brethren from abroad, therefore,
should and will be called on to assist
in this good work. If Baptist ever suc
ceed here, they must have a house of
worship and this they cannot do unless
contributions be received from a dis
tance. I preached in the morning
and ray brother in the afternoon. We
heard the Rev. F. A. Ross at night—
he is a much older man than I had ex
pected. lie is a man above medium
in talent; but a non-descript as a
preacher. J Lis church has just com
pleted an excellent house of worship.
It is a large and substantial house, and
very neatly and tastefully finished in
the inside. The Episcopalians too,
They have shown
for display.
At Toxlock On Monday morning,
we left Huntsville, and reached Chat
tanooga at 7 1-2 o’clock P. M. Look
out Mountain was now only five miles
distant, and an omnibus runs hither
and thither twice every day. We had
heard so much said and had seen so
much in the papers about this Moun
j tain, and the beautiful scenery and
natural curiosity upon and around it,
that we determined to lie over a day
and visit it. We left the hotel in
Chattanooga at 3 o’clock P. M., and
did not reach the hotel on the Moun
tain until 6. It requires 2 full hours
to travel the last two miles. And yet
; the road is good—better than one
would have supposed it could have
been made, over such ground; but
still as it is a constant ascent it is ex
ceedingly hard on horses, and compels
the driver to go very slow. Before we
got in sight of the hotel, we heard the
sound of music. The proprietor em
ploys a brass band which always plays
on the arrival of the omnibus.
This mountain is 2000 feet above the
river, and 2700 above the sea. The
atmosphere is said to be some 8 de
grees cooler than in Chattanooga in
the valley below. There are many cu
riosities around and about this moun
tain, but time and circumstances per
mitted us to visit only a few of them.
We found about 300 visitors at the ho
tel. Last season 10,000 fowls were
used at this hotel, and it is thought
that 15000 will be required this sea
son. Some say that six States can be
seen from this mountain. A brother
of the proprietor told me that the
mountains in Ya. could be seen more
than one hundred miles distant, and
that Tenn. River was visible more than
75 miles when the atmosphere was
clear. We remained on this„ jmoun
tain until 1 o’clock on Tuesday even
ing, and left Chattanooga at 3 o’clock.
We reached Atlanta between 11 & 12.
Here I and my brother again parted.
He took the Montgomery and “West
Point road for his home in Ala., and I
the Macon & Western for my home in
Georgia. I arrived safely at home at
3 o’clock A. M. on the Bth inst., and
found all well.
No doubt your readers, brother Edi
tors, would like to hear something
about the crops. In regard to these I
can say nothing very encouraging.—
They are inj urtd more or less wherev
er I saw or heard from them. Some
farmers on the Tenn. river are making,
an average crop ; but these are few.—
Corn in that country and North Ala.
being later than in middle and south
Ga. or Ala., will be improved more by
the late rains than ours. But after all
that can be said, the present grain crop
will certainly a be very short one.

that it read— “His honor is engaged to
save the youngest of his sheep.”—
l"oung Ustick, leaning on his pastor’s

agent for the above diseases, but never before so

merits, having never been puffed as most patent
medicines have. All the Proprietor asks is, to
give it a trial. This is the best tastimony, as
thousands who have used it will testify.
For further particulars apply to those who have
used it, and be satisfied that it is not a humbug,
but a good, safe, and very efficacious medicine for
the diseases for which it is recommended.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this afflicting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to those sub
ject to this infection. If taken in season it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or BiHous Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, P^lpita-..
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach ana Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This “ Ague Cure ”
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Ague Cure ”
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

A Great Book by the author of “ Grace
Truman
MARY B U N Y AN,
The Dreamer's Blind Daughter. A Tale of Re*
ligious Persecution. By Mrs. Rochester Ford,
of Louisville, Ky. 1 vol. l‘2mo. 488 pp. Illustra
ted. Price sl.
The great popularity of Grace Truman, (of which
80,000 copies have been sold,) will secure, for this
book, thousands of readers.
READ WHAT THE PRESS SAY OF IT.
[From the New York Examiner.]
The numerous readers of “Grace Truman” ha*#
>here another work on a topic of deep and thrilling
interest, from the author of that highly popular
book. Mary Bunyan, the blind daughter of the
immortal dreamer, is referred to repeatedly in his
autobiography and other works. She was about
twelve years of age when BuDyan was imprisoned
in Bedford jail, and his anxiety on her behalf was
one of his principal causes of distress in his long
imprisonment.
As drawn by Mrs. Ford, her character seems to
have been one of great modesty and loveliness,
apd the story of her love for William Dormer, and
of his death for the cause of civil and religious
lreedom, has much of the pathetic element in it.
Mrs. Ford is evidently thoroughly au fait in the
incidents of Bunyan’s family history, and the to
pography of Bedford and Elstow. We can safely
predict for the work an extensive sale.
[From the New York Evangelist.]
The simple incidents of Bunyan’s life, his pro
tracted imprisonment, his heroic endurance and
lofty faith, are of themselves full of the deepest
and most thrilling interest. It needed only the
picture of his blind daughter Mary, in her gentle
ness and patience under sore misfortune, to give
completeness to the tragic yet noble scenes in .
which Bunyan figures, so modestly yet grandly
conspicuous. The author of the valume before us
has carefully gathered up such historical facts, and
they are fortunately numerous and well authenti
cated, as could throw light upon her subject, and
has employed them with great sagacity and effect
in the construction of her story.

CANCER CURED.
rpHE subscriber continues to cure the various
JL forms of Cancers and Fistulas, without the
knife. Patients frequently stay at home till death
stares them in the face, before they seek relief,
but then nine times out of ten they are beyond
the reach of all remedies. Apply in time and he
will insure a cure in every case. This is no Yan
kee trick to take their money, for in all reasonable
cases he warrants a cure, AND IF NO CURE, NO
PAY.
He has cured quite a number in the last five
years, many of them of several years standing,
and even thought to be hopeless, for which he
could add some very interesting certificates and let
ters, but thinks it useless. Come and see for
yourselves. All applicants must apply In person,
and be prepared to remain a month or two under
