It rained last Saturday, and the oqp before. I almost feel it’s just on purpose.” • “ We can not understand the ways of God, my child ; but the Bible tells us he is wise and Look into the garden and see how happy the flowers are to catch this soft rain in their bosoms; ‘the vines were faint and lan guishing, and the flowers were fading and scentless, for the want of rain. The little brook is now dimpled with smiles, and the cattle look grateful, as they stand in the shel ter of the old elm tree. We little know how the patient traveller watches for the rain cloud, and blesses God for the drops that fall.” Then the mother told Isabel of the poor exile who wandered in the wilderness with her babe, and when she had no water she laid him under the shade to die, and went and prayed in anguish to her God. God had pity upon her, and sent an angel to point her to a foun tain of water ; and her child lived. Again, she told her there was no rain in Israel for more than three years, and the grass dried up, and the brooks vanished, and the cattle died. God was moved by the prayer of the good prophet, and once more he gave the rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. Then was repeated the story of the ark and the dove; and when that was finished, Isabel was surprised to find the hours were passing so swiftly. “ God looks to the good of all; and what soever He is pleased to give us is always for the best. He knows when to give the rain, and when to withhold it. You like to be trusted, do you not, Isabel?” “ Certainly, mother; what makes you ask such a question ? ’’ “I, too, like to be trusted; and when I make my little girl a promise, I expect that she will rest satisfied that I will keep it, and that I know best.” “ I always do, mother.” “ God has given us a promise that every thing shall work together for good to them that love him—not doubting, whether he send rain or sunshine.” “I will try to trust Him and be thankful, mother;” and a sweet smile parted the child’s lips. “ What God pleases is best.” A Nice Hiding Place. 1 A TRUE STORY. One morning I wentJte my pleasant school-- room and found many vacant seats. Two lit tle scholars, who had been with us a few days belore, cold in death, and others were very sick. Thediptheria had entered our vil lage and our school. The children were weep ing bitterly as I went in, and some of them ran quickly to me, saying ; “ O, teacher, Min nie and Georgie are dead. What shall we do ? Do you think we shall be sick and die ?” I touched the bell gently as a signal for the opening of the school, and when they had all taken their seats, 1 said : “ Children, you are all alarmed at the ap proach of this terrible disease. You sorrow for the death of your mates and fear that you too may be taken. Many of you have asked me, What shall we do ? I know of but one way to escape this trouble, and that is to hide from it. If you will listen, I will read you of a hiding place.” All listened eagerly while I read the 91st Psalm. 1 made no comments, but in few words asked that the Comforter would carry His message to their hearts. They all seemed hushed by the sweet words of the Psalmist, and the morning lesson went on as usual. At noon a sweet little girl named Lizzie came to me and said, “Teacher, are ycu not afraid of thediptheria?” “No,” I answered. “Well, shouldn’t you if you thought you should be sick and die ?” “ No, dear, I trust not.” Lizzie stopped her questioning, and looked me full in the face for some minutes, with thoughtful, wondering eyes, then her face brightened a little—“ Oh, I know now,” she said. “ I know why you are not afraid. You are hiding under God’s wings. Oh, what a nice place to hide! I thought of that as you read the chapter. I wish I could hide there too. Then I should not be afraid of the dip theria or any thing else. Is there room for me too ?” “ Yes, Lizzie,” I said, “ room for you and for every one who wishes to come. Oh !he longs so much more iWn you can think to hide you in His arms, to clasp you to His heart, to wash out your sins in His own blooO. Used as He is to the music of Heaven, wwh its choirs of ten thousands of thousands, yet w will be far sweeter in His ears to hear your childish voice whispering, ‘Jesus, thou art my hiding- place.’ Will you not say with your wh (iefteart those precious words?” A soft J will was her only answer, but I trust at that glad hour Lizzie sought and found the shelter of her Sjmour’s wing. Beautiful Legend. They tell me a story that one day Rabbi Judah and his brethren, the seven pillars of wisdom, sat in the court of the temple on feast day, disputing about rest. One said it wa3 to have attained sufficient wealth, yet without sin. The second said it was fame and praise of all men. The third, that it was the pos session of power to rule the state. The fourth, that it consisted only in a happy home. The fifth, that it must be in the old age of one who is rich, powerful, famous, surrounded by chil dren, and children’s children. The sixth said that all were vain unless a man keep all the ritual law of Moses. And Rabbi Judah, the venerable, the tallest of the brothers, said : “Ye have spoken wisely, but one thing more is necessary. He only can lind rest who to all these things addeth this : That he keepeth the tradition of the elders.” There sat in the court a fair-haired boy, playing with his lilies in his lap ; and hearing the talk, dropped them with astonishment from h's hands and looked up—that boy of twelve—and said: ‘.‘Nay, nay, fathers, he only findeth rest who loves his brother as himself, and God with his whole heart and soul* He is greater than fame, and wealth, and power; happier than a happy home, hap py without it; better than honored age; he is a law to himself, and above all tradition.” The doctors were astonished. They said, “ When Christ cometh, shall he teach us greater tblogs?” And they thanked God, for THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SODTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA„ THURSDAY, JANUARY 31,1867. they said, “The old men arej*)talways wise, yet God be praised that out of the mouth of this young suckling His praise has become perfect.” N “ Come to Jesus.” —Little Mary had been in her trundle bed, when her mother heard her crying. “Mary,” said her ma, “ what is the mat ter ?” “ Oh, mother,” said she, “ I have bee® think ing about Jesus, and it makes me so. happy that I can not help crying.”. Ay, So it would be with all our TSbys and girls if they would only Jesus has done for them. Thei^^yMrii^dd:stream with tears of real love, andiPp htf&Tts swell with grateful praise if turn their minds to the cross; bleeding Saviour pouring out His Kfe-blood that they might have pardon and peace. Oh, then, come to Jesus now, in life’s sweet morning, when you can come so easy, and be fore your hearts are so hardened by sin that you can not come at all. ®Jw Jfumilg ati Jana. Little Feet. Little feet, so glad and gay, Making music all the day, Tripping merrily along, Filling all my heart with song— Well I love your music sweet: Patter, patter, little feet. Sometimes would know Just what way these feet must go ; 4 Praying oft that all be fair— Nojfhorns nor roughness any where, That flowers may spring their steps to greet: Patter, patter, little feet. But then I think that some have trod Through thorns and briers the nearer God ; Though weak in faith, still I would dare To offer up the earnest prayer, That Christ would choose whate’er is meet: Patter, patter, little feet. I press them in my hands to-night, And kiss them with new delight; Believing that, where’er they go, My tender Lord will lead them so They’ll walk, at length, the golden street: Patter, patter, little feet. Honesty.— There is a peculiar, subtle de sire on the part of men to defraud men—and that on the part of honest men ; that is, men that are honest according to the ordinary rules and customs of society. Ido not be lieve there could be any temptation strong enough to induce me to go into Appleton’s book-score and steal books that I saw there, and bring them home with me. I never could enjoy possessing books that I had procured in any such way as that. But Igo into an old book-store, and turn over the rubbish, and find a rare set of books, and ask the dealer what he will sell them for. He looks at them and says: “Well—old trumpery—you can have them for five dollars.” I know that I could not get them elsewhere for less than a hundred dollars. Here is an ignorant man, who does not know the value of the books, and he says in his "simplicity : “ You may have them for five dollars.” And how eager I am to get them away before he has an op portunity to find out their value ! How I can not wait to have them sent, but offer to take them myself! How I pay for them without delay, and hasten out of the store ! And how I congratulate myself on having got a hun dred dollars worth of books for five dollars! Now, I want to know ir chat i s honest? I want to know if any man who aspires to be an honest man ever ought to want more than a dollar’s worth for a dollar ? Is there not an essential dishonest element that curls itself up in bargains—not necessarily, but almost universally—by which a man does not want to stop with the simple quid pro quo, but wants to get a good deal more than he gives? John O’Groat, and His House.— ln the reign of James IV., of Scotland, three brothers, Malcolm, Gavin, and John O’Groat, natives of Holland, came to the coast of Caithness, with a letter in Latin from that monarch, re commend them to the protection and coun tenance of his subjects thereabout. They got possession of a large district of land, and in process of time, multiplied and prospered until they numbered eight different proprietors by the name of Groat. On one of the annual dinners instituted to commemorate their arri val at Caithness, a dispute arose as to the right of precedence in taking the door and the head of the table. This waxed very serious, and threatened to break up these annual gath erings. But the wisdom and virtue of John prevented this rupture. He rna de a touching speech to them, soothing the\ r angry spirits with an appeal to the common precious memories of their native land, and t 0 a [[ joint experiences in this. He entre&md them to return to their homes quietly, and he v.- OU ld remedy the current difficulty at the next rivet ing. Won by his] kindly spirit and words, they complied witn his request. In the inter val, John built a house expressly for the pur pose, of an octagonal form, with eight doors and windows. He then placed a table of oak, of the same shape in the middle, and when the next meeting took place, he desired each head of the different Groat families to enter at his own door, and sit at the head of his own table. This happy and ingenious plan restored good feeling and a pleasant footing to the sensitive families, and gave to the good Dutchman’s name an interest which it will carry with it forever. Cheerful Women. —Oh, if “gloomy ” wo' men k ut know a t comfort there is in a cheerful j How the heart leaps to meet a sunshiny a merr y tongue, an even tem per, and a heart either naturally, or what is better, from conscientious principle, has learned to take all things on the bright side, believing that the Giver of ijf e being all perfect, the best offering we can make to Him is to enjoy to the full what He sends of good and what He allows of evil ; like a child who, when once it believes in its father be lieves in all his doings with it, whether it un derstands them or not. Among the secondary influences which can be employed, either by or upon a naturally anxious or morbid temperament, there is non* so ready to hand, or so wholesome, as that so often referred to—constant employment. A very large number of women—particularly young women—are by nature constituted so exceedingly restless of miraj, or with such h strong physical degression, that they can by .themselves in a state of even except by becoming contmua^^|j^upied. —-Miss Provision at Nash viler- for Travellers. —So many destitute travellers have passed through Chattanooga who spend the night huddled together promiscuously without bedding, fire, or food, in the Union passenger depot, that the Louisville and Chat tanooga Railroads propose, in cooperation with other roads centering at that point, to erect buildings, and fit them up with all need ed appendages, purchase food, hire cooks, pre pare meals, and secure wagihmen to keep up the fires throughout .the nigftt. and in this way relieve, to a co»-dderable extent, the suffering now experienced by those travelling and des titute of means. . French Poultry. The French, more than any other nation, probably, pay that attention to poultry breed ing which the subject deserves, and, as a con sequence, store eggs are produced, and more pure bred poultry found in France than in England, or in this country. Within a year or too, several new varieties have originated there, for which many excellent qualities are clairas& Some of these imported into Eng great favor in the eyes of English and the few specimens now hi bid fair to fulfill the promises The very high cost attending the of all live stock, together of the voyage, will prevent f rom becoming well known *Ut this <^Sjjp»try : for years to come. Foremost. among these new varieties is the Crevecoeur, a trio of which have lately been imported direct from France by a friend of the writer. Both hens and cock are bearded and top-knotted, the crest of the hens being full and large, while that of the cock is some what straggling and resembles the top knot of a badly bred Poland. One of the singular features, is the comb of the cock, and which rises in front and above the crest, and very much resembles the horns of a deer, being joined at the base, notched and separating at the extremities. The plumage is black with a greenish metalic lustre; legs short and black ; body square, and chest deep. Their appearance—that of the hens especially—is solemn and grave, and they are of a quiet, peaceable composition, not desiring to roam beyond the enclosure within fthich they are confined. They are excellent layers of large eggs, laying a great many in the fall when other chickens are moulting; are non-setters, and are strictly first class table fowls, maturing early. Full grown hens weigh from five to six pounds, cocks from seven to eight pounds. They are, I have no doubt, a very valuable addition to the improved poultry of this coun try, and as such will be warmly welcomed by all lovers of live stock. Reward for Good Manners. —Leonard W. Jerome, of New York, has presented to Rev. Dr. Maclean, president of Princeton College, $5,000 in United States bonds, the interest of which is to be devoted annually to the presentation of medals to the graduating senior “ who shall be decided by vote of his classmates to be the first gentleman of his class.” Mr. Jerome, in his letter tendering the gift to the president of the college, says : “ I know you are surprised, dear Doctor, at the novelty of this bequest, but you will be still more so when I tell you that you are the cause of it. 1 have not forgotten the remark you made upon a certain occasion to my class: ‘Young gentlemen, with all your get ting, I advise you to get a little manners.’ 1 am right then to offer a premium to carry out your views. “ I think the most pressing necessity of Young America just now is the article you recommended. We have plenty of science, and are pretty well up, considering our years, in art; but our manners, I must say, are rather rough. If the trifle I offer shall have the effect to stimulate the young gentlemen under your charge to improvement in this re spect, 1 shall feel that I have done them and the country a service. The character of a gen tleman I consider within the capacity of all— at least, it requires no extraordinary intellect. A due regard for the feelings of others is, in my judgment, its foundation.” Happy Every Day.— When you rise in the morning, form the resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow-creature. A left off garment to the man who needs it, a kind word to the sorrowful, an encouraging expres sion to the striving,—{rifles in themselves light as air,—will do it, at least for twenty four hours. And if you are young, depend upon it, it will tell when you are old; and if you are old, rest assured it will send you gently and happily down the stream of time to eternity. By the most simple arith metical sum, look at the result.' You send one person, only one, happily through the day ; that is three hundred and sixty-five in the course of the year. And supposing you live forty years only after you commence that course of medicine, you have made 14,600 beings happy,—at all events, for a time. The world is crazy for show. There is not one person in a thousand who dares fall back on his real, simple self for power to get throiigh the world, and exact enjoyment as he goes along. There is too much living in the eyes of other people. There is no end to the aping, the mimicry, the false airs and the superficial arts. It requires rare courage, we admit, to live to one’s enlightened convictions in these days. Unless you consent to join in the general cheat, you are. jostled out of reach; there is no room for you among the great mob of pretenders. If a man dares to live within his means, and is resolute in his pur pose not to appear more than he really is, let him be applauded. There is something fresh in such an example. The Newness of Life.— Every stroke of the clock is to me the funeral-bell of a past emotion, but also the baptismal bell of anew one. Ah ! the twenty years’ delight of love are past, and will enjoy no earthly morning; W, as the old stars go down, new ones arise. N ° emotion remains the same, but the new born av e sweeter; and the heart, if it is more unhappy, \ s not colder than of old. Upon this subject I could write a book. Nothing fades !

The Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs were introduced four years since, and are a great improvement ivpon the Melodeon, Harmonium, and other reed organs, greatly excelling them, especially in the excellent quality and variety of their tones]; in power and quickness of action and capacity for expression. TIIEIR SUCCESS HAS BEEN ENTIRELY BE YOND PRECEDENT, and proves how greatly such an instrument wasneeded. Again and again the manufacturers hake been compelled to double their manufacturing facilities, until they have been increased six-fold. From the nfost eminent of the musical profession, the too t distinguished pianists, or- S mists, composers, and musical directors, the Mason A amlin Cabinet Organs have received an amount and degree of commendation never before bestowed upon any similar musical instrument. More that! Iwo hundred and fifty of the most eminent musicians in the country have given written testimonials to the value of the improve ments contained in them, and tkat tliey excel all other instruments of this class. FIFTY-TWO GOLD OR SILVER MEDALS, or efther highest premiums have been awarded to Mason & fl.\ yi.tN, for the important improvements effected by and for the SUPERIORITY OF THEIR I&TRUMENTS TO ALL OTHERA Constantly exhibiting their instruments in competition with others, they havoieen awarded the highest premi um in every instance, W*a»'jree or four.

Then their cost is greatly less, as well as their liability t<* got out at order. t ■ BRIEF EXTRACTS FROM OPINIONS OF DIS TINGUISHED MUSICIANS. I should think they would become very much sought after as parlor instruments as well as for public perfor mance.—Sigisntond Thalberg, the world-renowned Pian ist. Sure to find its way into every household of taste and refinement which can possibly afford its moderate expense. * * * to every thing of its class I have seen. —L. M. Gottschulk, the eminent Pian ist. Such pure musical tones, promptness and smooth ness of action and fine" variety of effect, I have not found in any other instrument of the class.—S. B. Mills, the eminent Pianist. Really so excellent that there can hardly be much difference of opinion respecting them. William Mason, the eminent Pianist. The best instru ment of its class with which I am acquainted, and worthy a place in every drawing-room.—Harry Sanderson, the eminent Pianist. In every respect far superior to every thing I have ever seen of the kind, whether in Europe or America.—Geo. Wasbbourne Morgan, the eminent Or ganist, N. Y. I can only reiterate what so many in the musical profession have said, that for equality, prompt ness and exquisite tone, they are unequalod.—John H. Wilcox, the eminent Organist, Boston. Surpasses every thing in this line I have ever seen, whether French or American.—John Zundel, the eminent Organist, New York. The best reed instruments in theworld are made in the United States, and your Cabinet Organs are greatly superior and by far the best nude here.—Max Maretzek, Musical Conductor, New York. Far surpasses all other similar instruments which have come under my observation.—Carl Zerrahn, Musical Conductor, Boston. Exceeds in my estimation every other instrument of this general class.—Thos. Hastings. I can recommend them with confidence.—Lowell Mason. As soon as the public become acquainted with the superior merits of your in struments, your only trouble will be to supply the de mand.—Wm. B. Bradbury. I have never seen any thing of the kind which interested me so much.—Gen. F. Root. Exciting much interest in musical circles, and already becoming the fashion.— N. Y. Home Journal. The high est accomplishment of industry in this department. This is not only our opinion, but"the unanimous verdict of the organists.— Boston Advertiser. A glorious instru ment for the temple service, so readily secured as to be available for any congregation, and effective and beauti ful as to meet the desires of the most refined and fastid ious.—New York Observer. The MAS ON A HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS must not be confounded with other reed instruments, from which they vary essentially , their superiority being largely derived from PATENTED IMPROVEMENTS, which cannot he employed by other makers. Among them are: The A UTOMATIC BELLO WS SWELL, (patented,) a most important invention, and greatly the best swell ever devised ; being much more effective and easily used than any other The variety and beauty of effect of which it is capable, cannot be appreciated except from actual use. The many attempts to imitateor find a sub stitute forthis swell proveits’value. None of them, how ever, approach it in excellence and simplicity. IMPROVED SELF-ADJUSTING VALVES (pat ented,) secure much more t'erfo.n action, durability, and freedom from liability to get out or order. WOOD’S OOTA EFCOUPLER (Patented,) in effect nearly doubles the pewer of the instrument in which it is used. NOISELESS SAFETY VAL VES (patonted',^prevent the hissing sound often heard - The IMPROVED COMBINATION EEOISr&It (patented,) gives great facility in drawing stops.
