EVEN ME.
“Bless me, even me also, 0 my Father.”
Lord, I hear of showers of blessing
.Thou art scattering full and free ;
Showers the thirsty soul refreshing ;
Let some droppings fall on me—
Even me.
Pass me not, oh gracious Father,
Lost and sinful though I be ;
Thou might’st curse me, but the rather
Let Thy mercy light on me—
Even me.
Pass me not, oh tender Saviour,
Let me love and cling to Thee;
I am longing for thy favor:
When Thou comest, call for me—
Even me.
Pass me not, 0 mighty Spirit,
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Testify of Jesus’ merit,
Speak the word of power to me—
Even me.
Have I long in sin been sleeping ?
Long been slighting, grieving Thee ?
Has the world my heart been keeping ?
O forgive and rescue me—
Even me.
Love of God—so pure and changeless ;
Blood of God—so rich and free;
Grace of God—so strong and boundless,
Magnify it all to me—
Even me.
Pass me not, Almighty Spirit,
Draw this lifeless heart to Thee ;
Impute to me the Saviour’s merit;
Blessing others, 0, bless me—
Even me.

THE THREE PICT HUES.
Opulence and Indigence.
BY ELTEE.
It was a clear, cold day in early win
ter. On that thronged and bustling
street, Broadway, two ladies, elegant
ly dressed, came out of a shop and a
poor little child pressed forward to beg
with outstretched hands pleading with
an earnestness not to be assumed “ for
odly one cent for God’s sake,”
Gaunt famine had stamped her fell
impress on every feature of the tiny
figure, who was brushed by unnoticed.
The ladies in their rich silks rustled
past the shivering, crouching form of
the little mendicant, entered the car
riage, and dashed off in a whirl down
the crowded thoroughfare to some oth
er emporium of vanity and fashion.—
The little beggar thus repulsed, shrank
back, while the big tears trickled down
her wan little cheeks, speaking more
woe than the most eloquent. language
could express. She now turned to
wards the foot passengers and gazing
in their faces with look intent as if to
6eek for some pitying eye, she crossed
the pathway towards me and clasping
her bony little hands in an attitude of
abject supplication, told a sad tale ol
distress and pleaded for a pittance.—
What heart could refuse the pleading
of misery ? Some soothe their con
scieno by saying, “ The tales beggars
tell are not true.” One part of their
story is always true—they are poor,
and hungry, and cold. Oh ! what is
it that has caused us to differ. Who
but a merciful God has cast our lot in
pleasauter places. And is it thus we
would show our gratitude to a benefi
cent God, by rejecting the pleadings
of one of his sorrowing little creatures.
It seems to them, hard, hard, that in
all this great city, there should not be
a bit lor them. Would not some of
my little readers like to be the one to
tell them that there was not only a bit
for their bodies, but a bit for their
souls, and show them where it might
be found? Tell them that there is One
to whom if they plead will not push
them back, and a door at which if they
knock, they will not be sent hungry
away?
Up Stairs.
BY ELTEE.
“Up this way,” said the ragged lit
tle creature, and I followed up flight
alter flight, ol a crazy old stair-case,
and entered a low, dark garret. The
little one sprang forward towards a
pale, emaciated figure, reclining on a
pallet of straw, and kneeling beside
her sbo passed her little arms around
her dj ing mother's neck, and pressed
her cheek to begging in accents
choked with grief, to speak to her lit
tle “Nellie.” The poor woman roused
by the emoti ns of her child, opened
her eyes, sunken by want, and dimned
by the mists of death, and breathed
forth a fervent prayer to the orphan’s
God, commending her child to Him.
“ Be comforted,” I said, “ I will care
for your little Nellie.”
“My Father, hast thou already grant
ed a sinful worm’s prayer ?”■—then
with folded hands she faintly gasped,
“I know that my Redeemer liveth,”
and gently passed away !
Poor little Nellie? ‘Poor little one.
Griefs steel had touched her heart.—
Want, exposure, misery and suffering
had done their work. She never re
laxed her hold—she slept on her moth
er’s bosom. One large coffin held the
two slender forms, and peacefully were
they laid in the “Potter’s Field.”
l)raw the contrast, my children, be
tween the two scenes. “ Up-stairs”
there lay a destitute child of God’s',
passing to an inheritance of wealth un
told. Down on the Broad-way saunt
ered the votaries of fashion—the pam
pered children of luxury and opulence,
forgetting that even a ‘cup of cold wa
ter, given to the least of these little
ones, is given unto Him.’
“THE PICTURE Vn A CELLAR.”
BY ELTEE.
Now come with me into a very dir
ty narrow street—such a one as I dare
say you have never walked in, per
haps never seen. Up these alleys, and
at every door are troops of children
little and big, showing that the harvest
is plenteous for those who would work
in the Lord's field. There is a little
creature of six, carrying a baby, anoth
er just able to toddle, clinging to her
ragged frock. There are boys quarrel
ling over their play at marbles; and
great girls rolling about the doors. Do
you see that cellar door? It looks more
like a rat’s hole in a wall than an en
trance to a human dwelling. You
would not like to go down those narrow
broken steps, but you must fancy you
have made your way down. In’ one
corner there is a wretched bed ; in it
lies a poor sick grandmother so old and
feeble that you may wonder why her
joyless life was so spun out in so com
fortless a home. In another corner
there is a heap of ashes ; that is where
a bit of fire has been, but now four
or five dirty, ragged childen are crouch
ing around the spot. There, too, is the
poor careworn mother, soiled and tat
tered, like one who has never had the
heart to tidy herself, for she has many
cares and no comforts—many children
and no idea how to keep them in order.
But she loves them, and often gives
them her last bit, preferring to go hun
gry herself to seeing therh so. But
this poor mother has never learned
how to teach her children to love their
God and obey her, consequently they
are unruly and quarrelsome. But what,
my children, has caused you to differ.
It is your good God who has given you
a comfortable home, plenty to eat,
good clothes to wear and loving par
ents, and teachers to instruct you in
the way to Jesus.
NOTICES
of a few good Books for Children.
Robert Carter & Sons , SSO. Broadway,
New York.
“The Children on the Plains,” —
This is an interesting narrative of in
cidents which took place during the
journey of two children across the
plains, on their way to California in
search of their father. The influence
of true religion is beautifully portrayed
in the reclamation and conversion of
this lost parent, through the efforts and
example of his little daughter.
“Trust in God.” A simple story al
so drawn from real life, wiil be found
a charming little book for a winter’s
eve.
From the Am. Bap. Pub. Society.
“Peeps from the Wainscot,” by
Aunt Abbie. A beautiful little book,
interesting even to grown-up children.
It shows the evils of intemperance,
and the “power of grace in the heart,”
which can overcome all evil. Let fool
ish fairy tales be discarded from our
firesides, and such books as the above
be given to our children, and there
vill be some hope of having them “re
member their Creator in the days of
their youth.”
Sheldon cb Cos., N. Y.
Treasury of Scripture Stories. A
book abounding in Bible Stories, which
every child will enjoy reading, and
which are rendered more attractive by
the many colored plates, illustrating
the various histories. It will be an
acceptable gift-book for the Christmas
Holidays.
Here is a nice letter from little Eliza.
Suppose some of our young readers
write a reply:
Dear Mr. Boykin :
I have been reading the letters and
questions in the Index for some time
and thought that I would like answer
and ask some questions too, if you will
not object to my doing so.
2. Who is the first Priest mentioned
in the Bible, that first stood in a pul
pit? Answer —Ezra. Nehemiah 3d ch.
ith verse.
Question —What was the reason of
the feast of Pentecost ? Eliza.
THE INTOXICATED MONKEY.
It is said that a monkey was once in
duced to drink ardent spirits. It in
toxicated him. During his intoxica
tion he performed a great many feats,
greatly to the amusement of the spec
tators.
When he became sober, he looked
sad and ashamed, and he could never
be induced to drink ardent spirits
again.
He learned a lesson that many men
will not learn. They become intoxica
ted, act strangely, become sober, and
feel very much ashamed, and yet drink
again. Are monkeys wiser than men ?
LAYING UP.
“ What is Mr. Cornwall doing?” said
Mr. Slocum, who had come to visit his
old neighbors in C .
“He is laying up money.”
“For whom?”
“For himself, he thinks; but he nev
er uses it, and never will. He is lay
ing up money for somebody else, and
laying up sorrow for himself.”
Every sinner is laying up sorrow for
himself. Every sin has a punishment
to follow it. It may be delayed, but
it will cer ainly come. There is noth
ing that men lay up so rapidly as sor
row. Some begin very youug, and
continue it all their days.
FRUIT APPEARING AFTER MA
NY DAYS.
A shoemaker having received a
tract, instead of reading it, used it in
filling up the space between the inner
and the outer sole of a shoe. The la
bor of the tract distributor was appar
ently lost. Not so. Some time after
wards another man of the same busi
ness, sat down of a Sunday morning
to put anew sole to that shoe. When
he had cut away the old leather, he
sa w the tract, and his attention was in
stantly arrested by its title. Remem
ber the Sabbath day to keep it holy. —
It was an arrow from the quiver ot the
Almighty. The work was immediate
ly laid aside, and the man hastened to
the house of God ; his soul was troub
led, nor could he rest, until he found
peace at the cross of Christ.
An Ancient Tree Blown Down. —The well
known “Old Elm,’’ of Somerset, Mass., which
grew near the river, in the centre of the village
was blown down a few nights ago, in a fierce
gale. It was 100 feet in height, and the girth
of the trunk was 66 feet
Dr. Wiatar’s Balsam of Wild
CHERRY. /
Where this article is known it is a work of su
pererogation to say one word in its favor, so well
is it established as an unfailing remedy for Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Asth
ma, Quinsy, Phthisic, diseases of the Throat, Chest,
and Lungs, as well as that most dreaded of all dis
eases, Consumption, which high medical authority
has pronounced to be a curable disease. Those
who have used this remedy know its value ; those
who have not have but to make a single trial to be
satisfied that of all others it is the remedy.
From Francis A. Huson, Esq., of Kingston, Ga.
Kingston, Ga., April 5, 1360.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Cos.,
Gentlemen :—I think your preparation of Dr.
Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry is the best reme
dy for Coughs, and for all Pulmonary Complaints
extant. Experience, after years of trial of it a
mong my friends and in my own family, has dem
onstrated this fact. My wife, who suffered some
three years since with a distressing pulmonary dif
ficulty, was cured by this remedy alter all others
had failed. I have, therefore, cause to strongly
recommend it. Being well known in various sec
tions of this State, you are at liberty to use this in
any manner which will promote the sale of the Bal
sam, and consequently relieve the sufferings of the
afflicted. Yours truly,
FRANCIS A. HE SON.
From Rev. Jesse M. Wood.
Rome, Ga., April 4,1860.
Dear Sirs—This certifies that four years ago I
suffered with a distressing Cough. During the
winter and soring of 1866, I used Dr. Wistar’s
Balsam of Wild Cherry, with considerable advan
tage. I consider it a valuable remedy for Coughs
and Colds. _ J. M. WOOD.
Caution to purchasers. The only genuine
Wistar’s Balsam has the written signiture of “I
Butts” and the printed one of the Proprietors on
the outer wrapper ; all others is vile and worth
less.

in which a student can be prepared for any class in

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
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 shoidd be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, hut also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive
and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire,
Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules,
Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter
and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and,
indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief
in “ impurity of the hlootl ” i> founded in truth,
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 ALL THE PURPOSES Os A FAWIiLY PHYSIC,
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them,
their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate “very portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. Asa consequence of these
properties, the invalid who 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. I “tiniest ion, Pain in and Morbid
Inaction of the lion ets, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and otbei kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of tne body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influeu-za, 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
-1 melons 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 have 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.

MRS. WINSLOW,
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 lor over
ten years, and CAN SAY IN CONFIDENCE AND
TRUTH of it, what we have never been able to
say of any other medicine—
NEVER HAS 1 - MRS. ; it FAILED
IN A SINGLE ; WINSLOW’S ; instance,
TO EFFECT A ; SOOTHING ; Cure,when
timely used. ; SYRUP. ; Never did
we know an in- stance o f
dissatisiaction by any one who used it. On the
contrary, all are delighted with its operations, and
speak in terms of commendation of its magical ef
fects and medical virtues. We speak in this mat
ter “WHAT WE DO KNOW,” after ten yers’
experience, AND PLEDGE OUR REPUTATION
FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF WHAT WE
HERE DECLARE. In almost every instance
where the infant is suffeiing 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
GRIPING IN THE BOWELS, and WIND COLIC
and overcome convulsions,
which, if not ; FOR ; speedy reme
died, end in ; CHILDREN ; death. We
lieve it the ; TEETHING. ; BEST AND
SUREST REMEDY
IN THE WORLD, in all cases of DY 7 SINTERY
AND DIARKIKEA IN CHILDREN, whether it ari
ses from teething, or from any other cause. We
would say to every mother who has a chiid suffer
ing from any of the foregoing complaints—DO
NOT LET YOUR PREJUDICES, NOR THE PRE
JUDICES OF’ OTHERS, stand between you and
your suffering child, and the relief that will be
SURE—yes, ABSOLUTELY SURE—to follow the
use of this medicine, if timely used. Full direc
tions for using will accompany each bottle. None
genuine unless the sac-simile of CURTIS & PER
KINS, New York, is on the outside wrapper.
