THE FIRST WALK.
“Try to come to mother, darling,
Take a step alone, my dear,
With i lose little, feet that totter,
And ‘hat pretty look of fear.
Now—another ana another —
Stretch out hands—you will not fall—
There, you’ve walked alone to mother,
Tottered to her at her call!”
Th =, my children, a fond mother
r i aught your little feet to go,
Oft would hold you up when falling,
Oft her arms around you throw.
Never will your heart forget her,
Tor her love so kind and true ;
But there’s One who loves you better,
Jesus—once a child like you!
See, he stands with arms wide open,
And he cries with voice of love,
Come to me, and I will guide you
In the way to heaven above.
0 how wondrous is his meekness,
Thus to take you by the hand,
And uphold you in your weakness
Till you reach Immanuel’s land ! -

TIIE ONE FALSE STEP.
BY “L. T.” OF COLUMBUS.
Victor W was a bold, fearless
boy, greatly beloved by bis school
mates and noticed by his teacher as an
obedient,studious scholar, and of truth
ful character. It happened about this
time that anew pupil arrived at school,
i one Alfred Jones ; he was the son of
1 wealthy hut worldly parents who tho’t
more of the fashion of life than prepar
ing their son’s and their own souls for
that future life, which we are

him as a coward when
lie knew it would be displeasing to his
kind mother were he to comply with
this bad boy’s challenges. Near by the
school-house there was a tall building
against which was placed a very long
ladder. ‘A r ictor,’ cried out Alfred, T
dare you to follow me up this ladder,’
on which he was seated about midway
up. ‘No,’ replied the little boy, ‘I will
not follow you; mama desired me
not to venture on any dangerous
SiLi( 7rifiiii&d J- her.’

am not afraid,” said Victor, rising
Run the bank where he had been sit-
Hg reading alittle book. ‘Hear him,
R)ys,’ cried Alfred, ‘he says he is not
Afraid and yet he does not dare to come
up after me,’ thus defying and repeat
ing his many taunting expressions to
little Victor.
The pot; little boy coloring deeply
now, ovei me by passion, forgot his
dear mother’s injunctions, and forgot
too, that loving arm, on which if “he
had leaned, would have supported
him iu his path of duty and upheld
him through these temptations. But
now casting one look around on his
playmates,and throwing his little book
on the ground, and leaping lightly for
ward lie took the ‘lirst step’ on the lad
der, and so on higher, higher, higher
went the hoy, till he had gained a diz-
T v height, when he exclaimed in an
oil see now I am no

as he fell, rebounded from
the ground, but little V ictor lay mo
tionless, having fallen on a pile of sha
vings. The two hoys were carried to
their homes ; but Alfred Jones never
spoke again. Little Victor lay long,
loi'g in a state of insensibility, and fur
many weeks lay on the verge of eterni
ty. At length the Angel of Mercy
hovered o’er him with healing on his
wings, and slowly the little boy recov
ered. After a short time some slight
color returned to his cheeks, and now
gazing on his pale, watchful mother,
with an expression of unutterable love
as he pressed her loving hand, the star
ting tear in the eye of the repentant
child spoke more than volumes.
Need 1 tell you that ever after this
one false step of little Victor’s proved
as a lamp to his feet, and when in man
hood, temptations came before him,
he would pause and think of that first
fearful step on the ladder. Remem
ber, ray little readers, that he who for
sakes the paths of humility is in the
high-way of offending.
TIIE BIBLE.
“I am of the opinion that the Bible j
contains more sublimity, more exquis- J
ite beauty, more important history, i
and finer strains of poetry and other
eloquence, than can be collected from j
all other books, in whatever age or lan
guage they may have been written.” ■
— Sir Wm. Jones .
“I will hazard the assertion that no i
man ever did or ever will become tru-1
ly eloquent without being a constant
reader of the Bible, aud an ad
mirer of the purity and sublimity of
its language.”— Fisher Ames.

A little girl with some others went
into a shop the other day. A large
basket of pears stood by the counter.
They were nice-looking pears, and very
little ones. The little gii;l took one
and slid it into her pocket. ‘'Such a
little pear won’t be missed,” she
thought. Perhaps not; but did that
make it right for her to take it with
out leave ? Oh no; and conscience
soon told her so. She went out of the
shop with the pear in her pocket, but
trouble in her heart. The still small
voice within whispered, “Wrong,
wrong, wrong.” She could not eat
the pear, little and juicy as it was. In
about half an hour she went back to
the shop, and laying it on the counter,
said the shopkeeper, “I took this pear ;
it is your pear, and I fetched it back
to you.” Her lips quivered as she
spoke, and before the man could an
swer she was gone. How glad she
was ! Now she could hop, 6kip, and
jump all the way home.
Little children do wrong things
sometimes without thinking very de
liberately. God knew this, and put a
“still small votce” in their souls to re
mind them what is sinful. This voice
is conscience, —a very true and honest
friend, under the teaching of the Spir
it. Obey it, and you will be happy.
Disobey it. and oh ! I cannot tell how
very, very far you may go in the paths
of wickedness and sorrow.
I WIIT NOT.
“I will not,” said a little boy stout
ly as I passed along. The tone of his
voice struck me.
“What won’t you do?” I stopped
and asked.
“That boy wants me to ‘make be
lieve’ something to my mother, and I
won’t,” he answered in the same stout
tone.
The little boy is on the right track.
That is just one of the places to say
“won’t.” 1 hope he will stick to it.—
lie will, I feel sure.

PREACHING TOO WELL.
Dr. Ware, the elder, used sometimes
to relate amusingly his experience as a
parish minister. One week he had
made special preparation for the pulpit
bestowing almost all his care and
thought upon the morning discourse;
and the result was what he considered
one of his very best sermons. Satur
day evening came, and he must get up
something for the afternoon service,
which of course, must be more hastily
done. It was probably some brief and
simple exposition of Scripture. Mon
day morning, the Doctor walks out,
and meets one of his parishioners, who
greets him very cordially.
Parishioner. I thank you Doctor,
for that sermon ; it has edified me
more than I can tell you.
Doctor. I bestowed much care up
on it, and am glad that my labor was
not lost.
Parishioner. I assure you it was
and difficulties.
Doctor. I presume you refer to the
morning discourse.
Parishioner. No, sir—the after-

“MY SON IS MY FATHER.”
At a Wesleyan meeting a man thus
spoke:
“I am very thankful to God for your
Sunday school. My son, who now
sits besides me, is my spiritual father.
“He heard me cursing while in a
state of drunkenness, and said to me,
‘O, father! my teacher said to-day, at
the Sunday-school; that neither drun
kards nor swearers could enter into
heaven.’
“This so affected my mind, that from
that time I was enabled, by the grace
of God, to leave off my wicked prac
tices ; arid through the merits of Christ
both myself and my son are on our
way to heaven.”
HOW LONG?
“How long does it take to be con
verted ?” said Israel “Wallace to his
father.
“How long,” said his father, “does it
take the judge to discharge the pris
oner when the jury have brought him
in ‘not guilty ?”
“Only a minute.”
“When a sinner is convinced that he
is a sinner, and is sorry for it, —when
he desires forgiveness and deliverance
from si’qUkmjydpeliegbs that Christ is
to save him, —he can
be speedily as the pris
oner can be discharged by the judge.
It does not take God a long time to
discharge a penitent soul from the con
demnation and power of sin.”
Goodness is goodness, find it
where we may. A vineyard exists for
the purpose of nurturing vines, but he
would be a strange vine-dresser who
denied the reality of grapes because
they had ripened under a less genial
soil and beyond the precints of his
vineyard.
The gospel drops nothing but
marrow and fatness, love and sweet
ness, and therefore God looks in these
daj's that men should grow up to a
great height of holiness, heavenliness
and spirituality than what they at
tained to in those days wherein the sun
shone but dimly.
I have lived to know the great
secret of human happiness is this :
Never suffer your energies to stagnate.
The old adage of “too many irons in
the fire,” conveys an abominable lie.
You can not have too many—pokers,
tongs, and all. Keep theip all going.
Rapid Walking.— Seven miles within an
hour has been about the greatest speed in walk
ing; but a Mr. Hall, in a match with Mountjoy,
the pedestrain, accomplished the following:—
One mile in seven minntes thirteen seconds:
two miles, fifteen minutes twenty seconds; and
four miles in thirty-two minutes exactly. This
latter is the highest point of speed on record.

In the whole history of Medical Discoveries no
remedy has performed so many or such remarka
ble cures of the numerous affections of the Throat,
Lungs, and Chest —of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
Influenza, Whooping Cough, Croup, Asthma, or
of Consumption itself, as this far-famed, long-tried,
and justly celebrated Balsam. So generally ac
knowledged is the superior excellence of this rem
edy that but few of the many who have tested its
virtues by experience fail to keep it at hand as a
speedy and certain cure for sudden attacks of Cold
—fully believing that its remedial powers are com
prehensive enough to embrace every form of dis
ease from the slightest cold to the most dangerous
symptoms of pulmonary complaint.

AYER’S
, Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec
, tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive
sand Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire,
Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules,
s Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter
t and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
: Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis
-1 eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and,
t indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief
s in “ impurity of the blood ”is founded in truth,
i for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
. particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions. *
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
; FOR AU THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC,
I arc so composed that disease within the range of
, their action can rarely withstand or evade them.
their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
’ and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. Asa consequence of these
properties, the invalid wvho is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
. health or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
, for their use in the following complaints: Costive
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
, Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pam in and Morbid
Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly’known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community hate failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

AN experienced Nurse and Female Physician,
presents to the attention of mothers, her
SOOTHING SYRUP,
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING,
which greatly facilitates the process of teething,
by softening the gums, reducing all inflamation—
will allay ALL PAIN and spasmodic action, and is
SURE TO REGULATE THE BOWELS.
Depend upon it, mothers’ it will give rest to your
selves, and
RELIEF AND HEALTH TO YOUR INFANTS.
We have put up and sold this article for over
ten years, and CAN SAY IN CONFIDENCE
TRUTH of it, what we have never been abkjto

contrary, all are delighted with its operations, and
’ speak in terms of commendation of its magical et
-1 sects and medical virtues. We speak in this mat
ter “ WHAT WE DO KNOW,” after ten years’
experience, AND PLEDGE OUR REPUTATION

: where the infant is suffering from pain and ex
haustion, relief will be found in fifteen or twenty
minutes after the syrup is administered.
This valuable preparation is the prescription ol
one of the most experienced and skillful nurses in
New England, and has been used with NEVER
FAILING SUCCESS in
THOUSANDS OF CASES.
It not only relieves the child from pain, but in
vigorates the stomach and bowels, corrects acidi
ty, and gives tone and energy to the whole sys
tem. It will almost instantly relieve
