The Little Children.
God liless the little children !
We meet them everywhere;
We hear their voices round our hearth,
Their footsteps on the stair;
Their kindly hearts are swelling o’er
W ith mirthfulness and glee;
God bless the little children
Wherever they may be!
We meet them ’neath each gipsy tent,
With visage swart h and dun,
And eyes that sparkle as they glance
With roguery and fun;
We find them fishing in the brook
For minnows with a pin,
Or creeping through the hazel-brush
The linnet’s nest to win.
We meet them in the lordly hall,
Their stately father’s pride;
We meet them in the poor man’s cot—
He has no wealth beside;
Along the city’s crowded street
They hurl the hoop or ball;
We find them ’neath the pauper’s roof,
The saddest sight of all:
For there they win no father’s love,
No mother’s tender care,
Their only friend the God above,
Who hears the orphan’s prayer;
But dressed in silks, or draped in rags,
In childish grief or glee,
God bless the little children
Wherever they may be!
“ God Put Them There.”
During one cold winter’s day, over and
among the beautiful hills that abound in the
county of G , I was struck by a remark
made by my little companion, who had been
sitting silently by my side for some time,
while our good horse “ Mac” carried us swift
ly over the frozen ground. We had already
driven seven or eight miles, when a sudden
turn in the road brought us directly under
the protection of a range of hills which shel
tered us completely from the bitter wind,
greatly to our relief. “ There,” said I, “ Nelly,
thanks to these hills, we shall have a more
comfortable ride the rest of the way.” For
a minute or two there was no answer, and I
attributed her silence to the intense cold, when
out from the wrappings that enveloped the
small frame came the voice of my little eight
year old teacher.
“God put them there,” said Nelly. “We
should thank Him. uncle.”
We drove on silently, but the words kept
ringing in my ears, “ We should thank Him;'"
and strive as I would, I could not help ques
tioning myself, Had I been living all these
years regardless of the mercies of my Heav
enly Father, securing His blessings, but neg
lecting to thank Him 1 ? Was I jealous of
giving Him the praise, my kind benefactor,
the giver of every good and perfect gift?
Nelly had taught me a lesson. I had not duly
thought who it is that holds the winds in
His fists, and whose is the strength of the
hills; and now, through the mouth of this
babe, God was “ perfecting praise ” and lead
ing me to Himself.
We are day by day receiving innumerable
blessings from our Lord and Master; on every
hand we see tokens of His mercy and love to
unworthy sinners, and shall we refuse to ac
knowledge His hand in the blessings we en
joy ? Let us rather question ourselves what
return can we make to Him who “ hath done
all things well.” Let us, like little Nellie,
“ be about our Father’s business,” working for
His glory, speaking a word in season, and re
membering that “ he who turneth a sinner
from the error of his way, shall save a soul
from hell, and hide a multitude of sins.”—
American Messenger.
The Publican’s Cry.
One evening after the household had re
tired, a slight tap startled me into sudden re
membrance of the lateness of the hour. Upon
opening the door, a pale, earnest face present
ed itself, in which a strangely blended expres
sion of bewilderment, anguish, and regret was
painfully visible. Tears dimmed the eyes of
the young visitor, and deep heart-sobs choked
her utterance. She grasped the hands out
stretched to reach hers, and sinking upon the
floor, hastily and with tremulous lips whis
pered, “ Pray, oh, pray !”
“And what, dear child,” I said “shall be
the petition ? ”
“ One thing, only one thing,” was sobbed
out in reply : “ God be merciful to me a sin
ner ! That has been upon my lips these
many hours—ever since the close of the
prayer meeting the cry of my soul has been,
‘God be merciful to me a sinner!’ that is
all.” And at the hour of midnight that earn
est cry went forth, an earnest pleading that
He who came to save unto the uttermost,
would in tender love enter in and dwell with
the trembling one who still continued to cry
out in anguished tones, “ Merciful, merciful
to me a sinner ! ” Neither rest or sleep came
to the anxious girl that night. The next even
ing, while listening to that precious invitation,
“ Come unto me, all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” peace
came into her soul. On Him, the all-suffi
cient One, she could now lean, trusting that
her sins had been washed away in the blood
of the great atoning sacrifice.
“ And now,” asked the teacher, as the sweet,
serious face, all aglow with the new love burn
ing in her heart, expressed an unspoken
thought, “what is the cry of your soul?”
Tears filled the eyes of the young disciple
as in touchingly sweet tones, she. softly an
swered : “ That Jesus would tell me what
He wante me to do, and (choking with emo
tion) ohThelp me to pray for my sister; she,
too, must love Christ.”
It need hardly be added that the prayer of
love was answered by the Heavenly One, and
the sisters were soon rpjoicing together in the
great mercy which had been so richly be
stowed.— Christian Era.
Losing the Happy out of the Heart.
A mother who was leaving her home on a
visit, told her little boy and girl not to go
through a gate at the bottom o/' their garden,
which opened into the wood. The children
were very happy for a long time after their
mother had gone ; but at last, in their play,
having reached the gate through which they
were not to pass, the little boy began to feel
an earnest desire to go into the wood. He
persuaded his sister to follow him. Nothing
appeared to disturb them, and after come
rambling and playing about, they returned,
having concluded not to tell their mother
where they had been, unless she asked them.
She had not expected them to disobey her,
and never thought of enquiring. Notwith
standing this, the little boy did not feel com
fortable. He knew he had doue wrong, and
he could not help feeling unhappy.
When Sunday night came, and the little
boy had been washed for bed, he and his
mother commenced to have a nice talk, as
they usually had at that time. James could
not keep his sad secret any .longer from his
mother, so he told her what he and his sister
had done ; and then in some sort to show that
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA„ THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1867.
her command was needless, he said that noth
ing bad happened to them. The mother let
him know that something did befall them, and
that they had lost something, and urged her
little boy to think what it could be. Perhaps
she meant they had lost the habit of obe
dience, and would be easily led to do wrong
again; or perhaps she meant they had lost
her confidence. The little boy could not
think for long time of any thing he had lost.
He knew that he had left his ball safe, that
his knife was in his pocket, and that his slate
pencil was at hand when he wished to use it.
But as he continued to think, he remembered
how uneasy and uncomfortable he had been
all the week, and at last in a low, sorrowful
voice, he said : “ Mother, I did lose something
in the wood, I did : / lost the happy out of my
heart" ‘
Beautiful Lesson.
Some time ago a boy was discovered in
the street, evidently intelligent, but sick. A
man who had the feeling of kindness strongly
developed, went to ask him what he was do
ing there.
“ Waiting for God to come to me.”
“What do you mean?” said the gentle
man, touched by the pathetic tone of the an
swer of the boy, in whose eyes and flushed
face he saw the evidence of fever.
“ God sent for mother, and father, and lit
tle brother,” said he, “ and took them away to
His home up in the sky ; and mother told
me when she was sick that God would take
care of me. I have no home, nobody to give
me any thing; and so I came here, and have
been looking so long up in the sky for God
to come and take care of me, as mother said
He would. He will come, won’t he ? Mother
never told a lie.”
“Yes, my lad,” said the man, evercome
with emotion. “He has sent me to take care
of you.”
You should have seen his eyes flash, and the
smile of triumph break over his face as he
said :
“ Mother never told me a lie, sir ; but you
have been so long on the way.”
What a lesson of truth ! and how this inci
dent shows the effect of never deceiving chil
dren with tales!
The Chameleon and Porcupine—A Fable.
A chameleon once met a porcupine, and
complained that he had taken great pains to
make friends with every body, but, strange
to say, he had entirely failed, and could not
now be sure that he had a friend in the world.
• “ And by what means,” said the porcupine,
“ have you sought to make friends ? ”
“ By flattery,” said the chameleon. “ I have
adapted myself to all 1 met; humored the
follies and foibles of every one. In order to
make people believe that I like them, I have
imitated their manners, as if I considered
them models of perfection. So far have I
gone in this that it has become a habit with
me, and now my very skin takes the hue and
complexion of the thing that happens to be
nearest. Yet all this has been in vain, for
every body calls me a turn coat, and I am
generally considered selfish, hypocritical, and
base.”
“ And no doubt you deserve all this,” said
the porcupine. “I have taken a different
course, but I must confess that I have as few
friends as you. I adopted the rule to re
sent every injury, nay, every encroachment
upon my dignity. I would allow no one even
to touch me without sticking into him one or
more of my sharp quills. I determined to
take care of number one ; and the result has
been, that while I have vindicated my rights,
I have created a universal dislike. lam call
ed old Touch-me-not, and, if I am not as much
despised, I am even more disliked than you,
Sir Chameleon.”

A Real Nobleman.
The Earl of Brownlow affords in his life a
splendid illustration of genuine Christianity.
He gives us one of the most effective transla
tions of the parable of the good Samaritan.
Though he died at the early age of twenty
four, his life is rich in deeds of Christian char
ity. Born to high rank and unbounded wealth,
his life was one long struggle against a feeble
constitution inherited with his birth. He never
knew a day’s health; but his own affliction
only seemed to inspire him with a more abso
lute spirit of kindness, as well toward stran
gers as to his own family or dependents. As
his delicate health could not endure the Eng
lish climate, he used to spend his winters at
Madeira; and it was his practice to find out
persons of the same delicacy of constitution
with himself, but without the advantages of
wealth, and prevail upon them, sometimes to
the number of thirty or forty, to accept his
“ invitation upon a voyage in search of health,”
as he delicately termed his kindness. From
England to Madeira during the winter, and
back to England,he took every possible charge
of these people, including every enjoyment of
which they were capable, and first-rate medi
cal skill, which was necessary for his own
case. Every packet brought every luxury
possible from his estates, all freely at the dis
posal of his proteges. He had no greater
gratification than to perceive that he had been
the means of procuring for others that glow
which was destined never to be seen on his
own cheeks. He was described by one who
knew him intimately as “ the most amiable
mortal breathing.” He is succeeded in his
title and estates—£l3o,ooo a year—by his
only brother, Adalbert Oust, a captain in the
Grenadier Guards, and member of Parliament
for Shropshire.
Wholesome Advice.
I had been lecturing in the evening on tem
perance, and at the close was invited by a
Quaker lady to go to her house and take some
refreshment. I accepted the kind offer. The
table was spread, and I was enjoying the feast,
when the kind lady said: “John, I am very
glad that thee art doing so much good in the
temperance cause ; for the evils of intemper
ance are very terrible aud very many; but
excuse me ; I should like to give thee a word
of advice, because I think thee art too harsh
in thy lectures—too harsh. I will show thee.
Thee seest my cat ? ” “Yes, madam.” “Well,
this cat goes into the pantry and gets up on
the shelves among all this beautiful china.
Now, what do Ido ? I step as softly as pos
sible to the door and say, in the kindest tones,
Poor pussy! poor pussy ! and the cat will
come right along so carefully as not to break
a plate, a saucer, or any thing. Now, if I
were to adopt a different course, and go to the
pantry door and, stamping with my foot,
should hiss and say, Scat! come out! the cat
would dash down, breaking cups, plates, sau
cers, and every thing.” —John Hookings.
Unlucky Choice of Text.
The English Independent tells a story to
the effect that the late Rev. William Thorpe,
of Bristol, was so stout that, on one occasion,
when about to take part in an ordination ser
vice, it was found that the puLpit was too nar
row to admit him in the ordinary way, and
he had to be assisted over the side into his
seat. He then rose to deliver his address. It
was on “ The Importance of a Right Introduc
tion into the Christian Ministry,” and he
founded his discourse on the parable in which
it is declared that “ He that entereth in by
the door is the shepherd of the sheep, while
he that climbeth up some other way, the same
is a thief and a robber.”
A Beautiful Allegory.
A traveller who spent some time in Tur
key relates a beautiful parable which was told
him by a dervise, and which seemed even
mote beautiful than Sterne’s celebrated figure
of the accusing-spirit and recording angel.
“ Every person,” says the dervise, “ has two
angels—one on his right shoulder and another
on his left. When he does any thing good,
the angel on his right shoulder writes it down
and seals it; because what is done is done
forever. When he has done evil, the angel
on his left shoulder writes it down. He waits
till midnight. If before that time the man
bows down his head and exclaims, * Gracious
Allah! I have sinned ; forgive me!’ the an
'gel rubs it out; and if not, at midnight he
seals it, and the angel upon the right shoulder
weeps.”
The Diamond Mines of Brazil.
These mines have been visited by a gentle
man who writes that, in taking the gems from
the ea«*th, a driver places a gang of slaves in
a mudhole where the gems are found, and
pans out the earth in the water like gold
washers. The negroes are naked, to prevent
their secreting the diamonds in their clothes.
They are required to work facing the over
seer, and are forbidden to raise a hand to the
face, lest they should swallow the jewels
when found. Yet they do carry them away,
by becoming so expert that they can snap
them with their fingers from the pan to the
mouth without detection.
Attachment of a Wife.
Daniel Webster once said : “ There is noth
ing upon this earth that can compare with the
faithful attachment of a wife; no creature
who, for the object of her love, is so indomit
able, so persevering, so ready to suffer and
die. Under the most depressing circumstan
ces, woman’s weakness becomes a mighty
power, her timidity becomes fearless courage,
all her shrinking and sinking passes away,
and her spirit acquires the firmness of marble
—adamantine firmness—when circumstances
drive her to put forth all her energies under
the inspiration of her affections.”
Raise Sheep—Eat Mutton.
Good mutton, well fatted and neatly butch
ered, is the most wholesome, nutritious, and
cheapest of meats. It grows quickly, and
costs little to produce it, compared with beef
and pork. Every farmer should have a few
long-wooled Cosset sheep, at least—Cotswold
or Leicesters. They are little trouble, and
will keep fat on the orts of the cattle. They
usually bring twin lambs, which will sell to
the butchers for from eight dollars to ten
dollars by the first of July. Their fleece
averages from eight to fourteen pounds, with
from sixteen to twenty-five per cent, shrink
only. Their wool is now, and will be in the
future, worth thirty per cent, more than me
rino, which shrinks forty-five to sixty per cent.,
according to the family and treatment of the
flock. Long wool makes strong, excellent
and durable stocking yarn, though it is most
ly used to make the brilliant, light and lus
trous Orleans goods for the apparel of our
pretty women. Too such sheep will yield
as much profit as a common cow, and five
of them can be kept as cheap as a cOwin milk.
Their lambs and mutton would keep a farm
er supplied with the best of fresh meat of one
kind, as often as is necessary, the year round,
and would make an agreeable episode to the
eternal round of salt junk and pork, and be
far more healthy than either. Those who eat
principally salted meats, show it in their com
plexion, their skin being less fair and smooth.
Pork at best, eaten constantly, produces irri
tation and eruption of the skin.
We have now a plenty of sheep in the
country —over 32,000,000 head (more than
ever before, according to the population.)
Then let all manufacturers, mechanics, and all
men who are interested to have good meat
and the board of operatives cheap and whole
some, see to it that mutton-raising and wool
growing are properly encouiaged, as a mat
ter of health and economy. Meat is a great
item in the expense of the board of opera
tives, etc. If we gro-w our own wool we,
shall always have mutton plenty and cheap.
This will effect materially the price of other
meat, and the whole people, including the
manufacturers, would probably gain as much
by cheaper meats as they would lose by a
protective duty on wool; for, encouraged,
both wool and mutton would be plenty and
cheap.— Farm and Fireside.
How to Hold the Fertility of the Soil.
Gypsum attracts. It is not only a manure
in itself, but it attracts the manure from the
atmosphere that comes in contact with it,
(which is abundant on windy days) but it
catches and holds the fertility of the ground
that in some soils escapes. Lime will also do
this; so will clay. Clay, dried and powdered,
is an excellent thing to put on a barn-yard, or
to cover a compost heap with, or work
through the heap; hence, we use gypsum and
lime in our stables and privies. Gypsum is
best; it has the most attraction, besides other
properties. A little should be kept by every
farmer for use, even at a high cost, as the ben
efit is sometimes more important than the
high price.
But we waste our manure. We not only
permit its strength to escape, but we are glad
to get it out of the way.
The same recklessness extends to the land.
It is well our soil has a good proportion of
clay to hold its strength. We must conserve.
The time is not far distant when we shall be
compelled to do it. Already there are symp
toms of lack in our soil; we do not raise as
heavy crops as we used to; here and there a
field—here and there a farm, is less produc
tive.
It is not so much that we need plaster here
in the West to hold the strength of the soil as
to use it to abstract from the atmosphere and
to save the ammonia of our barn-yards and
stables. For this, let us always keep a little
on hand. Let us save and improve our ma
nure, and thus save our farms.— Caiman's Ru
ral World.
Sheep Shearing in Vermont.
The Spring festivals of sheep shearing are
now being held in different parts of Vermont.
On Wednesday, the Ist inst., the Rutlaud
county farmers and others, to the number of
1,000 persons, attended the sheep shearing in
Rutland. One ram, the “ General Lee,”
whose carcass weighed but 121 £ pounds, yield
ed a fleece of 11£ months’ growth which
weighed pounds! On the same day
there was a shearing at Shelburne, at which
prizes were awarded for the best fleeces. Fif
teen sheep were sheared, whose average
weight of carcass was a little more than 70
pounds, and whose average weight of fleece
was 13 pounds eight ounces. The lightest
fleece of the fifteen weighed 7 pounds 14
ounces, from an animal which weighed 53
pounds ; while the largest fleece weighed 20
pounds and 10 ounces, from an animal whose
weight was 120 pounds 3 ounces. One ani
mal, weighing 81 pounds, yielded a fleece of
15 pounds 12^ounces; another,which weighed
97 pounds, furnished a fleece of 15 pounds
12£ ounces. Old-fashioned farmers will con
sider these figures very remarkable. They
would have had to take hide and all to have
got such weights from their sheeps’ backs.
Wifely Love —A singular custom pre
vails in some parts of Arabia, where, upon
the burial of a corpse of a man, his wife often
keeps his skull and makes it her constant com
panion. She carries it about in her hand
when she goes any where on a visit.
The Poles in the Wilderness.
Mr. Lange, who does not confine himself to
his bakery and confectionery establishment,
but is a practical aotU«t|ccessful farmer, in
forms us that the Polanders who settled in the
reputed sterile region of the Wilderness, are
not such “ Poor-land ers ” as is supposed. He
saw the garden of one of them, about sixteen
miles from town, and thinks it as good land
and as good a garden as he ever saw. All
the “ Wilderness” country will yet “bloom
as the rose.” There Is plenty of good land
there, and wherever it is unproductive, there
is sure to be gold or.iron. —Fredericksburg
