’ 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. Written for the Christian Index. 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. YOUTlfe’ DEPARTMENT. 0 ‘ _ jj| 5 - 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. A. Yanhouse. Griffin, Aug. 13th, 1860. Early, Humble Piety. —Thomas Ustick, who became a useful “minis ter of the New Testament,” was bap tized when little more than thirteen years of age. In reading the hymn to be sung on the occasion, the adminis trator of the ordinance so changed it that it read— “His honor is engaged to save the youngest of his sheep.”— l"oung Ustick, leaning on his pastor’s arm, looked him in the face and 6aid, “Why did you not read the word as.it is—‘The meanest of his sheep,’ for tru ly so I am.” MACON"DRUG STORE^ & L.

JACK SMITH'S SOUTHERN CORDIAL, FOK DISEASES OF THE BOWELS, IS acompound of Southern Vegetables long since ■ known to the Medical Faculty, as a remedial agent for the above diseases, but never before so happily compounded. It stands alone on its own 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.

Columbus, Ga. 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.

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.
