Iffi* ife Clultea. 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.” I lie Jimilg ami Jam. 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 Herald. ~ " Publications.
