THE HONEYCOMB FAMILY. BT DEACON LONGFELLOW. For the benefit of the young readers of the Index. I FIRST SATURDAY NIGHT. 8 It is a clear, cold night in Decern- I ber, 1860. The wind is whistling and I moaning around the house. Mr. and I Mrs. Watts, with their happy family ■of children, Thomas, William, Lucas, ■ and little Mary, are assembled ■in the large room, around a cheerful I blazing fire of good oak wood. I Mrs. Watts is knitting little Mary a Bpair of worsted stockings, to keep her Bfeet warm, ana protect her little toes ■from the frost. Mr. Watts is reading Bthe last number of the Weekly Tele graph. F. Thomas is a clever, intelligent, Fprightty lad of twelve years ; William Bs a sober, serious boy of ten years ; a modest, cheerful girl ot eight: ■lucas a rattling, busy-body of six, an* Bittle Mary, the pet, has just finished Bier fourth year. She has a light epar ■ding blue eye, rosy cheeks, and How- Big, curling locks of golden color. ■ Father, said Thomas, you know you {■remised, a week ago, to tell us about Mr. Honeycomb and his boys. |B Yes he did, said William; and lam Ijßtiiig up just to hear it. |BLucy joined in the general request. fJßcas expressed the opinion that Mr. must have been a very man; and little Mary dropped ■ letter blocks, and ran to her rnofh SHblr. Watts, remarked Mrs. Watts, |Hi will have to gratify the children, ■■new when you made the promise, fln would have your hands full; for never forget such promises. Hyou might just as well lay down ||JBTelegraph. and tell the story.

You talk too much, children, said Mr. Watts ; and if you go on in this way I don’t know when 1 can finish my story. Here it is, nine o’clock, and I have hardly comnienced. But it is bed time. Next Saturday night I will try and tell you something of Arthur and Jonah, Mr. Honeycomb’s two boys. The children all knelt, one by one, around their mother’s knee, and recited their prayers. They then kissed fath er and mother, went off to bed and were soon fast asleep. They will all meet again, if nothing happens, around the game fireside next Saturday night. So, till then, good bye, little readers. The following touching account we present to our young readers with pleasure. Perhaps it will incite them to seek religion, so that they can die like little Markie / and perhaps it will excite parents to be more diligent in the religious instruction of their young children. HEATH OF A LITTLE BOY, AN ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE RELIGIOUS TRAINING OF CHILDREN. Died, in Augusta, on the 29th of Nov., at the age of 4 years, 1 month, and 25 days, Marcus S. Zimmerman, son of Mr. R. P., and Mrs. Bettie M. Zimmerman, and grandson of the late Rev. Thomas Meredith, of Raleigh, N. Carolina. He was a boy of uncommod spright liness, and of the most attractive qual ities. His parents are consistent and earnest members of the Baptist Church, and had endeavored to train him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. They had also for months guided his little feet to the Sunday School. Nor were their efforts in vain ; for he show ed in the closing scenes of his life that the truths of the Gospel had made an extraordinary impression upon his in fant soul. Some days before his death, and while he was but slightly unwell, he said, as he awaked in the morning, “1 want to die and go to heaven.” As his disease, which was membranous croup, increased in severity, he bore his intense sufferings without fretful ness or murmuring, and patiently sub mitted to the treatment prescribed.— A few hours previous to his death, he called his mother to him, and gave her a farewell kiss ; then looked anxiously around the room as if in search of some one else, and upon being asked ‘whom he wanted, replied, “ Papa.” His fi ther was then called in from an adjoin ing room, when the little sufferer with a kiss bade him also adieu, Then, in like manner,he took leave of his grand mother and his aunts, and of other friends that stood around his dying bed. Afterwards he'sent for his nurse, a servant girl, and with a kiss bade her also farewell. Then to a servant boy, named Dave, he reached out his little hand and said, “ Good-bye, Dave.”— Very soon after tbis v while in view of siicli a scene, all who were gathered around him were in tears, but while a sweet serenity marked the countenance of the. dying child, his weeping fattens said to him, , 1 gomg'F ~ H-ja instant reply, with the calm and trustful look of the Christian, was, “To Jesus.” A few minutes afterwards he ex claimed, “Papa!” “AVhat son ?” asked his father. “I am going there,” Markie replied. “AVhere son ?” “ To Jesus,” he answered, and then said, “Mamma, I see Jesus.” Then he called out, “ Papa, pray to Jesus and ask him to let these doctors make me well.” 8 His father replied that he had pray ed, but that Jesus wanted him with him, and that !.o must ask Jesus to take his little spirit to heaven. He calmly responded, “I can get on my knees right now, and ask him to take my little spirit to heaven”; and thereupon he started to get up, but his mother dissuaded him, telling him that he could pray as he lay in bed. He quickly turned over to her, and, look ing her in the face, Baid, “Mamma, tell me the words to say.” His mother began the petition for him, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit,” but her voice was stifled and she could proceed no farther ; but he repeated the words after her, and then added, “ To reign with God in light, forever and ever, Amen.” This prayer, so far as is known, no one had ever taught him. Not long after this he expired. How bitter a thing must it have been for these fond parents to carry away from the home of which he had been the music and the joy, and to cover up iu the dark grave a child ot such loveliness and such promise!— But how full of consolation is the tho’t, that Jesus has taken him to the “place” which he has prepared for his disciples, and that be will there have no temptation, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain. “He died to sin; he died to care ; But for a moment felt the rod; Then, rising on the viewless air, Spread his light wings, and soared to God.” But there is a lesson of vast impor tance, which the life and death of lit tle Markie Zimmerman,should impress upon our minds. Though but four years of age, he showed by the remark able words he uttered in the closing scenes of his short career, that he had a conception of Jesus and of Heaven. And there is strong reason to believe that he had a suflmient apprehension the character or to enable him to accept him, and to lean up on him, as his Saviour, and that the Holy Spirit was, in these last hours, preparing him for the abodes of celes tial purity. In view, then, of the in dications which he gave that he had an idea of the way of salvation, and that he had entrusted his soul to Jesus, and in view of the evidences which other children of the same, or of a scarcely greater age, have presented of their belief in Christ; is it not an ob vious duty, and have we not great en couragement to labor diligently for the religious instruction of our children, and for their guidance, even at this tender age, to the fold of the Great Shepherd? How beautiful and how promising a field of labor is here open ed to parents, and Sabbath School teachers, and Ministers of the Gospel, and, indeed, to all Christians who come in contact with children. Why should we to whom their training nas been committed, suffer those early years du ring which their minds and hearts may, with the promised aid of the divine Spirit, be moulded under our plastic touch, almost like elay in the hands of the potter —those years during which they listen so inquisitive ly to the truths of the Bible, and espe cially to the story of redemption—to pass away without the most strenuous and persistent efforts to fix deep and permanent religions impressions upon their souls ? AYhy should we wait un til their attention is absorbed in the amusements and follies of youth ? Why should we delay until evil prin ciples bave taken deep root, and vi cious tendencies are fully developed ? Why should we allow Satan, that wide awake and wily* educator, to anticipate us, and by all the seductive influences he can exert, to entice them on, for years, in the broad road to Hell, be fore we seriously andperseveringly at tempt to turn them iuto the narrow way to Heaven ? And yet how many even professedly Christian parents carelessly, nay criminally neglect to fortify the minds of their children wit religious principles, and to train them for the celestial world, while ten thou sand evil influences are surrounding them, them on to perdi tion ! How many parents there are in our churches, who arebiot accustom ed to read the Bible, even once a week to their children, and who never pray with, and for them, around the family altar ! O ye careless ones in Zion ! Are ye the lovers of Jesus, and do ye feel no anxiety that your children should submit to your adorable Mas ter ? Are ye journeying towards Heaven, and do ye not care that your children are tending downwards to Hell ? Will ye J>e able to enjoy an undisturbed repose in paradise, if, as ye look lor your children, through all its ever-blooming fields, ye shall not find them there, but shall be compell ed to feel that through your shameful, sinful neglect, their voices are heard amid the wailings of the lost ? What ye do, do quickly. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” * # *The Biblical Recorder of Ral eigh, N.

Columbus, Ga. 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 reinedials 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 Eiutptivb 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 Bi.ood. The popular belief in “impurity of the blood” is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of tile 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 FAMILY PHYSIO, are so composed that disease within the range of their action can rarely withstand or cjvade them, their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate “very portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoiing 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, Heartbm n, lleaVui he arisiny from disordered Stomach, Nausea. I ‘■uii.c.stidn, J’ai/i in and Morbid Inaction of the liowets. Flatulency, Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice, and ofhet kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Ayer’s cffitry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Doughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup. Bronchitis, Incipient Consump tion. and for the relief of Consumptive Patients iu advanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the ca es of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub liclv known, w bo have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once fried, 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 arc incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, tbis 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.
