They sti etch their wings and soar on high, To praise their Maker in the sky. Do birds their morning praises bring, So early rise, so sweetly sing? And shall a child forget to raise Its waking voice in notes of praise ? Oh! I will not unmindful be Os that kind care which watched o’er me, And kept me through the night from harm— From dangers and from all alarm. I’ll Go and Tell Jesus. Not long since, I spent a day with a family that numbered among its inmates an aged grandmother and a dear little girl named Flora Flora was very fond of her grandmother, and was in the haßit of going to her room with all the news and incidents of the day. She was also a Sunday school scholar, and her grandmother was in the habit of explaining the lessons. The child was very familiar with Jesus. She had been taught to love Him, and to go to Him with her desires and diffi culties, as to a present, personal friend. This morning she had been out and heard something that particularly interested her. On corning home she. ran up to her grand mother’s room. The good woman was not there. Flora was disappointed. Her heart was full. She must tell somebody; so with a gentle step, and a quiet, sweet look on her face, she turned to her own room, saying, I’ll go and tell Jesus.” So sweet and confiding! The beautiful simplicity of it touched me. It seemed to tell me, When your heart is full, go tell Jesus. The sympathy of friends is dear to us. Our jay is heightened by it, and the cup of sorrow is not half so bitter. “ I’ll go and tell Jesus.” His love is deep er, dearer than any other friend’s. His sym pathy is always given. He holds the cup Will He have the time? Will He listen? The dear, precious Lamb of God, all love, all gentleness, standing with outstretched arms, is ever urging tenderly, “Gome, come unto me.” —Sunday School Times. What Little Girls Did. I have just read about a little girls’ prayer meeting ; and where do you think it was ? Away up in cold, rocky Labrador; and the little girls were little Esquimau children. A missionary went from Canada to Labrador, and a pious lady went with him to look after the little ones. She has a school of fifty scholars. The first thing she taught was about that Saviour who loved and died for them. The Holy Spirit gave them new hearts, and those of them believed in this Saviour, and became His dear followers. They love to pray to Him. They pray to Him in secret, as you remember he tells them to do; and that was so sweet, they met and prayed to gether ; and that is the little prayer-meeting. And they could not help asking God to send kind and loving teachers to the poor children of other heathen lands, just as he had done to them ; for those who love the Lord Jesus al imys want others to know Him and love Him, too. Nor could they rest in praying; and so they said, “ Teacher what can we do to send the Bible to other lands ?” “ Do!” thought the teacher? “I am sure I cannot think what these poor children can do;” for the people in Labrador are very poor. The whole country is desolate and barren ; hardly any thing grows. The summer is short, and then they fish. During the long, dark winter they move back from the sea-coast, and hunt rabbits and deer to eat. You look on the map and find scarce ly any towns there. What indeed could the little Christian girls of Labrador do to send the Gospel to the heathen ? The teacher thought and thought. At last she thought of the “ cloud-berry,” which grows among the moss-clad rocks, and she said, “ Children you pick cloud-berries, and we will see what can be done.” In August the cloud-berry is ripe ; and oh! the little bucketsful they brought her. She preserved a hundred pounds, and sold them to a captain who was up there with his ship for twenty-four dollars and twenty-five cents. Did it not make good the saying, “ where there is a will there is a way ?” Twelve dollars and twenty-five cents they sent one missionary society in Canada, and twelve to another ; and the money is now on its way, doing a great deal more good than we know how to reckon up.— Child's Paper. Strike the Knot. “ Strike the knot! ” said a gentleman one day to his son, who, tired and weary, was leaning on his axe over a log which he had in vain been trying to cleave. Then,lookingatthe log, the gentleman saw how the boy had hack ed and chipped all around the knot without hitting it. Taking the axe, he struck a few sharp blows on the knot, and split the log without difficulty. Smiling, he returned the axe to his son, saying— “ Always strike the knot! ” That was good advice. It is good for you, my children, as it was for the boy to whom it was first given. It is a capital maxim to follow when you are in trouble. Have you a hard sum to do at school ? Have you got to face a difficulty 1 Are you -leaving home to live for the first time among strangers? Strike the knot! Look your trouble in the eye, as the bold lion hunter looks in the face of a lion. Never shrink from a painful duty, but step right up to it and dodt. Yes, strike the knot! Strike the knot, boys and girls, and you will always conquer your difficulties. Sunday School Advocate. Modesty and Docility in the Yonng. Goethe was in company with a mother and a daughter, when the latter, being reproved for something, blushed and burst into tears He said : “ How beautifuly our reproach has made your daughter. That crimson hue and those silvery tears become her much better than any ornament of gold or pearls; these may be hung on the neck of any woman, but those are never seen disconnected with moral purity. A full-blown flower, besprinkled with purest hue, is not so beautiful as this child blushing beneath her parent’s displeasure and shedding tears of sorrow for her fault. A blush is the sign which nature hangs out to show where chastity and honor dwell.” “ Father.” God gives the “ spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba Father.” Not many years since, a pious minister gave out his text —“I will arise and go unto my ’’ —here he fell speechless, and the word “ Father ” was pronounced in His heavenly presence. A little girl, gasping for breath, said, “ Take me, Father ! ” Her father, who sat in tears by her bedside, lifted her into his lap. She thanked him, and said, with a smile, “ I spoke to mv heavenly Father,” then closed her eyes and died.— Watchman and Reflector, THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1867. JmtJg and Jfarn. Family Worship. The life of Dr. Milne, by Philip, is full of incidental remarks striking and rich. One of this character is the following observation by Mrs. Milne, and its justice will be ap parent to any one who has been careful to watch the developments of religion in the daily walk of its professors: “I can not think favorably of the personal piety of those who neglect family prayer, nor augur much usefulness from those who do not attend on it regularly, when in their power.” Let the records of the church be examined, or let each individual recur to his own observation of the lives of professing Christians, and “ a cloud of witnesses ” will appear to attest the cor rectness of this remark. Covenant blessings are to be expected only upon our compliance with the covenant. If parents would see their families growing up around them in the fear of the Lord—their children early consecrat ing their hearts to the Saviour, and preparing for usefulness in the world—they should bring them morning and evening to the family al tar and there devote them to Him who has promised to be a God to them and their chil dren after them. And Mrs. Milne, with rea son, doubted the piety of those who neglected family prayer. She doubtless thought that those who do not pray in the family, do not pray in the closet, and if they do not pray there, even charity thathopeth all things will scarcely trust that they love God. Such reflections are solemn, and when there is reason to fear that the “ cares of the world ” prevent so many from this high and responsible duty, the church should carefully examine into the state of those families on whom the Prophet prayed God to pour out His fury because they called not on His name. How to Economize Fuel. Dr. Samuel Warren, author of “ Ten Thous and a Year,” recently wrote a letter to the Mayor of Hull, England, to say that before leaving for London, he desired to make a practical suggestion to the housekeepers of the town. The suggestion was this : “To econ omize the burning of coal, send for an iron monger or blacksmith, and order him to take the measure of the bottom of your grate, and make you a sheet iron plate of about one-sixth of an inch in thickness, or even less. Simply lay this and light your fire as usual. It will soon burn up, but you must keep pretty much open the lowest bar, so as to secure a light draught. When the fire has begun to burn, poke it gently from beneath, and the flame will gradually get through the entire mass of coals, the iron grate beneath get> red hot, and so keeps up a constant combustion, at the same time dispersing the heat through the room, instead of its being sent up the chim ney, thus entirely consuming the coal, instead of filling the hearth with ashes. “In my own house I tried the experiment for a week in the breakfast room, then in the dining room, then in the kitchen, with uniform and complete success; and then I had the sheet iron plate put into.every fire-place—and there are many throughout the house—with equal success. So Ido with the fireplace in my official residence. When the fire is once made up, say about 10 a.m., for the day, an occa sional poke and possibly a single replenish ment suffices for the day. In my own case, and also at my hotel here, where three scuttles were required, one now suffices. You must not smile at the simplicity of my suggestion, but attribute my offering to a sincere desire to con tribute what little is in my power to promote the comfort of, and lessen expenses to every householder in the good old town of Hull.” A citizen of Hull, who has since tried this plan, writes: “ The result in my house, where I have had quarter-inch iron plates fit ted at the bottom of two fire-grates, at an ex pense of two shillings each, is a saving in coal, of about one-third, with a considerable in crease in heat. A large number of persons have already satisfactorily tried the experi ment, and the use of the plates is likely to become general in this locality.” A Fatal Waltz. A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph gives the following account of an affecting tragedy that took place at a reception of the Hesperus Club at Vienna : “At half-past twelve dancing commenced, shortly to be brought to an untimely close by one of those tragedies of every day life that realize the ghastly Egyptian custom by which one guest at least at every feast was compelled to ac cept a skeleton for a neighbor. Avery charming and accomplished young lady, the wife of Ernst von Teschenberg (the editor of the Weiner Zeitung), was leaving the supper room with her husband, intending to return home. Whilst crossing the ball room, where a brilliant waltz was being played, a friend asked her to take a single turn round the room. The temptation was too great to be resisted; so, consigning her burnous to her husband, she joined the dancers, and was whirled off with great rapidity by her partner, She had scarcely got half round the huge cir cle, when she fell from his arms, as though struck by a thunderbolt, dead. They raised her from the ground gently, and carried her into another room. A dozen doctors were in attendance, and every expedient that science could suggest was tried to restore conscious ness to the fair young form lying so strangely still in its gay toilette. All was in vain. She was dead. A smile upon her lips, flowers in her hair. Os the scene I can not convey an idea; such agony as that I witnessed in the robing-room of the Giirtenbaugesellschaft is too dreadful to recall—too sacred to describe. The gay groups melted away in breathless, horror-stricken hurry ; within a few minutes the spacious ball room was silent and empty ; of all the ‘ Hespers,’ members and their guests, none but a handfull of mourners remained be hind to watch over that which half an hour before had been a happy wife and mother ! I have now witnessed three sudden deaths in ball rooms. The first two were, if posSjijale, even more terrible than the last. In the first case, a lovely girl was shot through the heart, by the man she was engaged to; in the second, the belle of the ball was burnt to death be fore her garments, which had caught fire whilst she was being whisked past the open fire place, could be torn ofT. But the tragical ep isode of yesterday morning is rendered more melancholy than either, by the remembrance that two little children, the oldest not three years old, are left motherless by the conse quence of a waltz !” An Incident of By-Gone Days. —Near this city a few years since, the rite of baptism was performed on several women by immer sion in the river. As it was winter it was necessary to cut a hole m the ice ; and the novelty of the scene attracted a large crowd, among whom were several Indians, who look ed on in wondering silence. They retired without understanding the nature or the ob ject of the ceremony they had seen; but, ob serving that all the subjects of immersion were females, and getting a vague idea that it was to make them good, the Indians came back a few days afterwards, bringing their squaws with them. Cutting another hole in the ice, near the same place, they immersed each and all of them, in spite of their remon strances, being very sure that if it was good for the whites it was good for the reds. —St Joseph Herald. Preference.—A lady was recently asked which of two brothers she liked best; she re plied: “When l am talking with Julius I prefer Edmond ; when I am talking with Ed mond I prefer Julius.” Kitchen Garden. The preparation of the soil should now go on with vigor, this being the busiest of all months with_the garden. Fresh manure may still be applied to the plots destined for corn and sweet potatoes, but in general it is better to compost all manures and reserve them for late summer or autumn crops. Plant out the first of the month, if not already done, the main crops of Irish potatoes; also, cabbage or lettuce plants that have been kept through the winter, or raised in frames. Plant out, also, at once, all hardy perennials, as aspara gus, rhubarb, seakale, sage, horseradish, liquo rice, old store onions for sets or seeds. Set out, also, the. plants destined for seed, such as beets, carrots, salsify, parsnips, winter radish es, cabbages, turnips, etc. Plant now the main crops of most hardy esculents, if not already in, such as peas, onions, lettuce, pars ley, early beets, carrots, cress, celery, cauli flower, garlic, mustard, Irish potatoes, spinach, radishes, spring turnips, okra, salsify and as paragus. for young plants. Plant, also, cab bage seed for second early crop. Sow sweet herbs, as thyme, sage, and the last of the month, summer savory and sweet basil. Corn. —Plant, for a succession, once in two or three weeks, from now until August. Ad ams’s extra early is the best early kind for first planting. Plant every thing in rows. When the cherry blooms, plant the early crop of snap beans, and a few each week until all danger of frost is over. The main crop of these, and of melons, squashes and other ten der plants must be put in when the apple is in full blossom. In the hot-bed, tender plants, as the tomato, peppers and eggplant, should be started. Yam potatoes should be bedded, and the common sweet potato planted the last of the month. Cucumbers, melons and squashes may be planted in small, rough-made baskets, with very large meshes, filled with earth and buried to the rim in the hot-bed, to be removed, bas ket and all, to the open ground, when the weather is mild. The basket will retain the soil, prevent any check by removal, and will not interfere with future growth. These vines can also be planted at once in the open ground in boxes, large enough to be covered with a couple of panes of BXIO or 10X12 glass. The earth should be light and rich, and the glass kept over them until they come up, after which give air freely in mild weather. Squash es, etc., can thus be raised much sooner than if planted unprotected in the open ground Protect, when there is danger of frost, all ten der plants; if in hills, a short plank laid across two bricks, or nailed to two other bits of plank, so as to raise it just above the plant, is a convenient method. Rows of beans, corn, etc., can. be saved by covering in the same way, using long plank and supporting the ends and centre-. - Uncover and fork manure into your beds of asparagus; prepare to blanch seakale. In wet weather, have your bean- poles and pea brush prepared. Put the walks now in per fect condition, making every thing clean and neat. —Southern Cultivator. Protecting the Peach from Spring Frosts. The only obstacle we have to contend with, or ever do have to really endanger our peach crop, is late spring frosts. Against these, a perfect protection is found in smoke, which, first recommended in Gardening for the South, has now been tried in this vicinity for over ten years, without a failure. It is not neces sary here to do any thing generally, in the way of protecting the fruit, before the last of March. It is the late March an 1 April frosts that are to be feared. It is a dense smoke, not heat, that is required. Prepare some fat lightwood, split up very fine, also some billets of dry wood, cut quite short, all kept under cover until needed. Pre pare also, in advance, piles of wet tan, chips, saw dust or other damp combustibles, where fires are most likely to be needed. The wood should be distributed the evening previous. About two or three o’clock in the morning, have all hands up and start fires, about two or three rods asunder, all over the orchard, the windward ones being nearest. Three or four sticks are required for each fire, which, when well started, should have a stick or two of green wood added. Then put on and nearly smother the fire with wet tan or trash. If any pile breaks out into a flame, apply more trash, to keep up, from dampened, smoulder ing fires, a curtain of moist, heavy smoke over the trees, until the sun is well up, and the frost fully extracted. The smoke from fires of dry wood is so light, and rises so rapidly in a cold, frosty night, that it really affords no protection, while that from damp material, loaded with moisture, hugs the ground and dissipates very slowly. If your fruit is frozen solid before you begin, or while you are at work, do not despair, but make all the smoke you can, and as light a protection as it seems, looking through it when the sun is rising, we have had it so fully protect the frozen fruit from rapid thawing, that the frost was all ex tracted without injury to the fruit. In our first trial, we were about giving up in despair, the cold was so intense at day-break, but our success was perfect. At this place, the fruit is very seldom,indeed, destroyed before April, in which month not more than one or two frosts are to be expected, and against these it is well to provide. —Southern Cultivator. Culture of Lettuce. Lettuce may be sown in the fall, or in Jan uary, February and March. Fall sowing will secure the earliest lettuce, but it will not be as tender or as sweet as that sown in the spring. To have lettuce in perfection, the soil must be rich, light and mellow. The seed may be sown broadcast, and the young plants transplanted as soon as they show four leaves. Lettuce, properly transplanted, is more in clined to head and blanch than that which stands where it is sown. It may also be sown in drills, fourteen inches apart, and thinned out to eight inches Tn the drill. Cover the seed about half an inch, and press the earth firmly on them. Lettuce is an annual, pro ducing its seed freely in this climate. In many country gardens rabbits destroy the young plants as soon as they appear. To prevent this, keep them well sprinkled with ashes. Head lettuce should be cut some six hours before eating, and soaked in cold water, as it will thereby Jose many of its narcotic prop erties.—Charles A. Peabody, in Southern Cultivator. A Chinaman’s Opinion of Rum. —Taking a walk one day through the commissariat stores in Hong Kong with a friend, I came to a portion of that establishment where four Chinamen were emptying a large tub of rum, which they were carrying in gallon measures to another portion of the building. Address ing myself to one who was apparently the head of the party, I inquired : “Do you like rum, John?” “ No, sir,” said the Chinaman. “ Why not?” “ Rum not proper, sir; make Chinaman number one fool." A Paper for Every Family. —A Presby terian minister of Cincinnati was asked by (he editor of the Western Christian Advocate whether his people generally took their church paper ? “ Every family of them,” was the reply. “We find that there is neither health nor progression where the religious newspa per is not taken; hence, one of our rules is to see that every family, however poor, is sup plied.” ' Mutilated U.

Viewing the many aggravated evils with which strong drink is cursing the human family, I wish to labor to curtail its use. For this purpose 1 propose to start a paper, to be called ‘‘ The Temperance Advocate.” It shall be the object of the Advocate to labor for the Temperance cause alone. In doing this, it will seek not only to point out the many and various evils which strong drinK entails upon our race, but also to portray the blessings resulting from Temperance. I have beer, long receiving, from distinguished persons, in different States, encouragement to undertake such an enterprise with promises of their aid, if I would do so. I can, therefore, assure the public that the Advocate will con tain the writings of the ablest pens iu the land—the pens of eminent theologians, physicians, &c. Among others, I have the promise of articles from a distin guished physician, on the physiological effects of alco holic liquors on the human system. All these advanta ges, accompanied with the use of exchanges from all parts of America, if not of Europe, enable me to prom ise my readers one of the very best Temperance papers ever published in our country. It will be published semi-monthly at Gallatin, Tenn., and Franklin, Ky., at two dollars per year. As this is an individual enterprise, undertaken solely to benefit the human race, and one which looks to pat ronage alone for support, I hope and believe my many friends will redeem their promises to aid me in every possible way. I also ask trie ds of Temperance every where to forward subscribers’ names and money forth with, that 1 may get the paper out soon, and 1 pledge all my energies to make it eminently worthy of support. Address me at Gallatin, Tenn. janl7-8w T. E. RICHEY. rjniiE LADIES’ HOME FOR 1867.
