Tl? Patter of Litttlfi* Feet.
Up with the sun at morninar, 1
Away to the garden he hides,
To see if the sleepy blossoms
Have begun to open their eyes;
Running a race with the wind,
With a step as light and fleet,
Under my window I hear
The patter of littlet feet.
Now to the brook he wanders,
In swift and noiseless flight.
Splashing the sparkling ripple
Like a fairv water sprite.
No sand under fabled river
Has gleams like his golden hair,
No pearly sea-shell is fairer,
Than his slender ankle bare ;
Nor the rosiest stem of coral
That blushes in ocean’s bed,
Is sweet as the flush that fellows.
Our darling’s airy tread.
From a broad window mv neighbor
Looks down on our little cot
And watches the “ poor man’s blessing,”
I cannot envv his lot.
He has pictures, books and music.
Bright fountains and noble trees.
Flowers that blossom in roses,
Birds from beyond the seas;
But never does childish laughter
His homeward footsteps greet,
His stately balls ne’er echo
To the tread of innocent feet.
This child is our “ speaking picture,”
A birdling that chatters and sings.
Sometimes a sleeping cherub—
(Our other one has wings.)
His heart is a charmed casket,
Full of all that’s charmed and sweet,
And no harp-strings hold such muslo
As follows his twinkling feet.
When the glory of sunset opens
The highway by angels trod,
And seems to unbar the city
Whose builder and Maker is Ood,
Close to the crystal portal
I see by the gates of pearl,
The eyes of our other angel—
A twinborn little girl.
4nd A ask to be taught and directed
To guide his footsteps aright,
So that I be accounted worthy
To walk in the sandals of light,
And hear amid songs of welcome
From messengers trust and fleet.
On the starry floor of Heaven,
The patter of little feet.
Wonders oi l lie Human System.
Paley applauds the contrivanoe by which
everything we eat and drink is made to
glide on its road to the gullet, over the en
trance of the wind-pipe, without falling into
it. A little p.ioyahlc lid, the epiglottis vk-liifh
is lifted up when w e breathe, is pressed
down Upon the chink of the air-passage by
the weight of the food and the action of the
muscles in swallowing it Neither solids nor
fluids, in short, can pass without shutting
down the trap-door as they proceed. But
this is only a part of the safe-guard. The
slit at the top of the wind-pipe, which never
closes entirely while we breathe, is endued
with an acute sensibility to the slightest par
ticle of matter. The least thing which touch
es the margin of the aperture causes its sides
to come firmly together, and the intruding
body is stopped at the inlet It is stopped,
but unless removed, must drop at the next
inspiration into the lungs. To effect its ex
pulsion, the sensibility at the rim at the top
of the wind-pipe actually puts into vehement
action a whole class of muscles placed lower
than its bottom, and which, compressing the
chest over which they are distributed, drives
out the air with a force that sweeps the of
fending substance before it The convulsive
coughing which arises when we are choked
is the energetic effort of nature for our relief
when anything chances to have evaded the
protective epiglottis. Yet this property, to
which we are constantly owing our lives, is
confined to a single spot in the throat. It
does no ! , as Sir Charles Bell affirms, belong
to the rest of the wind-pipe, but is limited to
the orifice, where alone it is needed. Admi
rable, too, it is to observe, that while thus
sensitive to the p most insignificant atom, it
bears withont resentment the atmospheric
currents which are incessantly passing to and
fro over its irritable lips. “It rejects,’’ says
Paley, “the touch of a crumb of bread, or a
drop of water, with a spasm that convulses
the whole frame; yet left to itself and its
proper office, the intromission of air alone,
nothing can be so quiet It does not even
make itself felt; a man does not know that
he has a trachea. The capacity of produ
cing with such acuteness, this impatience of
offence, yet perfect rest and ease when let
alone, are properties one would have thought
not likely to reside in the same subject It
ia to the junction, however, of these almost
inconsistent qualities in this, as well in some
other delicate parts of the body, that we owe
our safety and our comfort—our safety to
their sensibility, our comfort to their repose.
Another of the examples adduced by Bell
is, that of the heart. The famous Dr. Har
vey examined, at the request of Charles L,
a nobleman of the Montgomery family, who,
in consequence of an absftess, had a fistula
opening into the chest, through which the
heart c-ulri be seen and handled. The great
physiologist was astonished to find it insen
sible. ‘‘l then brought him,” he says, “to
the king, that he might behold and touch so
extraordinary a thing, and that he might per
ceive as I did, that unless when we touched
the outer skin, or when he saw our fingers
in the cavity, this young nobleman knew not
that we touched the heart.” Yet it is to the
heart that we refer our joys, our sorrows and
our affections ; we speak of a good-hearted,
a hard-hearted, a true-hearted, and a heart
less man. Shielded from physical violence
by an outwork of bones, it is not invested
with sensations which could have contribu
ted nothing to its preservation, but while it
can be grasped with the fingers, and give no
intimation of the fact to its possessor, it un
mistakably responds to the varied emotions
of the mind, and by the general consent of
1 mankind is pronounced the seat of our plea
’ sures, griefs, sympathies, hatreds and love.—
Persons have frequently dropped down dead
from the vehemence with which it contracts
or expands upon the sudden announcement
of good or had news—its muscular walls be
ing strained too far in the upward or down
ward dirertion to enable them to return —
and one of the purposes which this property
of the heart is probably designed to subserv
is to put a check upon the passions throutrh
the alarming physical sensations they excite.
The brain, again, is enclosed iR a bony
case. All our bodily sensations are depend
ent nr>nr tee np’-veQ. hnt evn the nerves do
not triye ri to feeling, unless they are in
eonneetion with the hrain. The nervous
chord whieh. in familiar language, is called
the affinal marrow, is the channel hv whieh
this communication is kept np as to the Tpa
jor part of them, and when the section n f
what may he termed the great trunkrnad for
the copvevapce of onr sensations is diseased,
and by the breach in its continuity, the
nerves below the disordered part pan no
longer send its accustomed intelligence to
the brain, the portion of the body which
thus becomes isolated may he horned or
hacked, and no more pain will result than jf
it belonged to a dead carcass instead of to a
living man. The brain, therefore, in subor
dination to the mind, is the physical center
of all sensation. Yet, strange to °ay, it is it
self insensible to the wounds whieh are tor
ture to the skin, and which wounds the brain
alone enahles us to feel. “It is as insensi
ble,’ says Sir Charles Bell, “as the leather of
our shoe, and a piece may be cut off without
interrupting the patient in the sentence that
he is uttering. Because the bone which en
velopes it is its protection against injuries
from without, it has no perception of them
when directed against its own fabric, thoueh
it is at the same time the sole source of the
pain which those injuries inflict upon the
other portions of the system. But the skull
is no defense against the effects of intempe
rance, or a vitiated atmosphere, or too great
mental toil. To these consequently the same
brain whieh has been created insensible to
the cut of the knife, is rendered fully alive,
and giddiness, headache, and apoplectic op
pression gives ample notice to us to stop the
evil, unless we aie prepared to pay the pen
alty.
From the Louisville Journal
ZW These fine stanzas will be recognized
from a young hand that paints as lovely.pictures
as ever the angel of the sun painted upon the
cloud canvass of the skies:
Tlio Two Angel*.
BY BALUE REEDY.
A boy at midnight sat alone,
And quick throbs o’er his being stole,
Like those to graver manhood known
When high resolves are in the soul.
Two winged angels softly leave
The brightest star in all the sky,
And one is fair as sinless Eve—
The other as the serpent’s eye.
Now to the bovthey soft] v glide
And fold their starry wings unseen,
Then rest them, on either aid".
And watch him as he sits between;
Each angel holds within her hand
A spotless scroll of purest white,
For God has sent them with command
To write the boy’s resolves that night.
“ I will he great!”—his hot cheek burned —
“ That men shall shout in extacy,
When first their wandering souls have learned
How like the gods a man may be.”
The angel on the left hand smiled,
And wrote it with suspended breath;
Sh* knew ambition oft beguiled
To sin and sacrifice and death
“I shall have foes as greatness hath,
What’er may he its brH'Dnt snbe-e.
But I will sweep them fr >m my pa'h
Or maim their pnnv souls wi'h fear.”
The angel on the left hand caught
And wrote the proud boast with sneer;
The nnge] on the right had naught.
Upon her page, but, one bright tear.
“ Love, still the Poet’s chosen theme,
Shall be a thing abjured by me;
And yet—my childhood’s happiest dream
Came to me, on my mother’s knee;
My mother’s knee! Why what is this
That on mr lips is trembling now ?
A prayer ? I almost feel the kiss
Her dying lips left on my brow.”
She’d rather hear her name and mine
In some poor creature’s night prayer
told,
Than have the proud world rear a shrine
And write it there in burning gold.”
The angel on the left a while
Seemed half in douht and half in rage!
The other smiled a warm bright smile
That dried the tear upon her page.
“ I will be brave and ask each heart,
That faints in life, to lean on mine,
And strive to do that better part
That makes a mortal feel divine;
‘ And if my faults should win a foe
Relentless through all coming time,
I’ll pity one who may not know
Compassion makes this life sublime.”
The boy looked upward to the sky,
But ere his vow was half-way done,
And ere the light passed from his eye,
The angel on the left had flown :
The angel on the right was there
And for one joyful moment stood,
Then waved her bright wings on the air
And bore her message back to God.
Lexington, Miss.
Prevalence ol’ Heathenism.
At a recent union meeting of the Presby
terian churches of Elizabeth, N. J., Rev. Dr.
Riggs, who is about departing as a missiona
ry to foreign lands, presented this melan
choly report of the report of the progress of
the work of evangelizing the world:
He said that “ Christ ascended eighteen
hundred years ago, and since that time men
have been striving to spread the gospel;
but up to this period three-fourtlis of the in
habitants of the globe are in heathen dark
ness, only one fourth having embraced Chris
tianity, and fifteen-sixteenths of’ the world
stand where they did when Christ was on
earth. The harvest, therefore, is great, and
the time to gather in this harvest is short;
for in thirty years a whole race will be swept
away. Only one missionary exists in the
heathen world to five hundred and thirty
thousand inhabitants! Fancy*New Jersey
with only one preacher, and thirty years
passing before that one becomes two!”
Trifles.
The world is made up of trifles. The
grand movements of great events and
the ehanges of empires are founded in
causes, very generally, which would be
pronounced trifle by the world.
Yes, “ trifles, light as air” have led to
some of the post important discoveries
we have. The fall of an apple gave
Newton a clew to gravitation ; the ris
ing up of the lid of a tea kettle pave ps
our railroads, steamboats, ocean steam
ers. and a thousand other things, not to
speak of the steam press, hat, combined,
put the world eenturies ahead in the mys
teries of the universe, and purposes of
God.
To the observation of a flower dimly
pictured on a stone, we owe the philoso
phical researches in chemistry and light
which ultimately gave us the daguerreo
type.
To grasp
A thing impalpable, and h<~ld it. was
Onef* considered wi'd ’mpossibUiiv
Untii Dsgnerre.w'th heaven-aspirinc might,
Captured a shadow with a ray of light,
And chained it down forever.
By a trifling loan of money from the
great actor, Talma, to Napoleon, in a
time of need, the fate of Europe was
changed—millions of men perished—
thrones were emptied—Wellington was
made a duke—Moscow was burned, and
France made a despotism at the present
time; for Napoleon was on the brink of
suicide—a nameless adventure—when
Talma gave him this assistance.
The foundation of the Roman Empire
was a cunning trick in an individual
combat, or duel. American liberty and
thirty-one glorious States arose from a
strong cup of tea made by the Boston
ians in 1775. A little piece of magnet
ized steel led to the discovery of anew
world. Tfie erection of a saw-mill in
California changed the currency of the
world. The crossing of a little stream
of water subverted the liberty of Rome,
and gave the name of Brutus immortali
ty. The flying of a common paper kite,
by a printer, gave us the magnetic tel
egraph. The eating of an apple in
garden of Eden, brought sin and death
into the world ? the giving away of a
golden apple caused a ten years’ war,
and the fall of Troy.
A delay of five minutes saved the lives
of Napoleon the First and his family
from an “ infernal machine” in the streets
of Paris. A delay of two minutes once
cost about fifty lives on an American
railroad. The exportation of a few po
tatoes from America, by Sir Walter
Raleigh, has saved the Irigh nation from
starvation. From a little acorn the
great American forests have sprung:
“ A pebble in the streamlet scant
Has changed the course of many a river,
A dew-drop on the ba K y plant
Has warped the giant oak forever.”
It is impossible to enumerate, espec
ially in a newspaper article, the almost
numberless “ trifles” that have produced
numberless great events, and made num
berless radical changes in the history
and destiny of the world. Suffice it to
say that “trifles” are not to be scoffed
at. The world may learn great, and true
and valuable lessons from the same
“trifles.” The fable of the lion which
was released from his prison by a mouse,
was written by a great man—up n a
less foundation than this, there hrs been
erected deathless poetry, wonderful trag
edies, and many noble novels.
Hold nothing in contempt; nothing
contemptible ever came from the hands
of the Almighty. The worlds which
the microscope has revealed to us in the
drop of water, are aswondet fill and mys
terious as the bright and beautiful worlds
brought to our eyes by the telescope.
The loathsome caterpillar which we long
to crush beneath our feet, will one day
be a beautiful creature, with rainbows
for its wings. The little pool of dirty
water into which we have stepped, and
upon which we pour our ‘ vials of wrath’
in many a deep-muttered anathema and
malediction for having obscured the glo
ry of our boots, will be woven into a
bright nd beautifully embroidered veil,
on the miraculous sun, for the face of
the queen who trails her robe of light
among the countless stars. The perusal
and observance of a single book, called
the Bible, every leaf of the new portion
of which has had a sacreed baptism in
the blood of Jesus of Nazareth, will lead
the soul—the only immortal thing ini
the universe save its Maker —out of the
shadows and darkness of dust, and fit it
for an audience, (ye3, though it be the
soul of a beggar 1 ) with the King of
Kings.”—A r . O. Picayune.

girl forms as many plans for the future as I
do; and such pleasant plans too. It seems to
me one n*-ed only live to be happy. I shall
soon leave school; then I intend to read a
great deal, and study housekeeping, so that
when I am married I may make a pleasant
home for my hu band.
Nineteen years old. —T ,vo winters in soci

that the world views me as neither handsome,
rich, nor entertaining, consequently I am not
ot much importance, which is not a very
pleasant discovery: but I am sure I have a
mind and a heart. What am Ito do with
them ?
Twenty three years old. —l am no longer hap
py; the spirit ol unrest has taken possession
of me. How can I five this weary life of in
anity ? I try to neglect no household duty;
but we have plenty of servants to do all the
work. A woman’s lot is a sad one! she is
told “her noblest station is retreat.” Oh,
that I were a man, that I might be active,
were it but in money making. I am not
good enough to live a wholly benevolent life
yet I want occupation. I have no desire to
go to party after party, as many a young la
dy does, hoping to finS a husband. The
whole system of society is degrading to wo
man. It seems to me it would be better to
off r proposal* of marriage openly to gentle
men, than to use the manoeuvres now
practised—that is. if a woman must be mar
ried. Must she in order to be happy? I do
not know.

\f iriy wom<n in my p'"*ce would have mar

The few men who have happened to care
for me I have not fancied, and so I will be
an old maid. But, what shall I live for?—
What shall I do to be happy ?
Thirty five years old. —A faint gleam of
light seems to shine upon my path—a feeling
of the truth that our life here is a probation;
that “enjoyment and not sorrow, is our des
tined end or way.” I have ever been seek
ing after happiness;—earthly happiness; but
now I feel a degree of willingness to receive
every event, whether joyful or sad,as sent by
an All-wise Creator. With this willingness,
comes a feeling of strange contentment. —
What matters a little more or less of transit
ory earthly pleasure ? The greatest amount
of comfort in life is :-ecured by being alive to
the blessings that we receive day by day,
appreciating the blessings of our lot—not en
vying others. The education of girls is very
cruel, they are obliged to learn wisdom by
sad experience. Why cannot they be fitted,
as far as possible, to bear life under any as
pect ? Instead of teaching them that the on
ly happy state of woman is that of wife and
mother,let them grow up with the idea that
marriage is au accident in life, sometimes a
sad one. Either they should be educated in
this way, or the opportunities of marriage
should be as free to woman as to man. Why
could not parents invite gentlemen to their
houses with the avowed object of selecting
suitable husbands for their daughters? Ma
ny a worthy man would then gain a wife to
whom he would never have dared to aspire.
Why should it be thought more immodest
for- a girl to show an innocent prelerence for
the society of a gentleman —this preference
found’ and on true admiration and respect—
than for her to love and marry a man merely
out of grat tude for his fancying her ? ll
woman only felt the certainty that they can
marry if they choose, half the foibles of their
character- —such as vauity and jealousy—
would be much lessened. —Their aims in
life would be nobler; they would make better
wives. — Horn* Journal.

SHALL MATTERS.
We often hear the careless asset tion that
such and such a thing or occurrence is ‘a
small matter.’
Small matters are not to be thus sneer
ingly disregarded.
It was a small matter when Newton saw
the apple descending, with the eye of an
unfledged astronomer. Yet it led to the
discovery of the great law of gravitation—the
very central doctrine of the science now in
separable from his Dame !
It was a small matter, when Franklin first
detected the descent of electricity along the
string of a small, boyish plaything. Let the
Telegraph tell the story of that great result,
to say nothing of the application of electrici
ty to medical science, and in many other
ways!
It was a small matter when the babe
George Washington, was born. Behold the
eoiin'ry which he conducted through a peril
ous war,—when his whole army was a small
mitter, and at whose pref*ntions *h -
lion uttered am st contemptuous r -
stands forth, now, amid the nations ut in
earth.
To small minds many thinirs seem smiri
which are of far-reaching moment to l*
er mmds.
Let the young study to compri boi
appreciate the true value oi seemingly small
matters.
Youthful Love.—Youthful love is an ob
ject on which gray-bearded men vent much
spleen and scorn ; but depend upon it, where
it exists in reality it is the sweetest thing that
ever life knows; it is the violet of our short
years of existence. The rose is beautiful
rich in hues, full of perfume and brightnesSj
as she flaunts her gay bosom in the ardent
9un of June, but give me the violet, the dear
early violet, that scents with her odorous
breath the air of unconfined spring, the soft,
the timid violet, retreating from the gaze
with her blue eyes cast down, the first sweet
child of the sweetest season, tenderest, the
gentlest of all the flowers of the field, the
emblem of earnest and innocent affection. —
No, there is nothing like it! In all after
years, we may lay our hand upon what joy
we will—pure and innocent it must be to
bear the comparison for a moment —but in
after existence, we shall never find anything
on the earth like the first sweet flower of
the heart.
Genuine Eloquence.
There is no people in the world with
whom eloquence is so universal a gift as the
Irish. When Leitch Ritchie whs travelling
iu Ireland, he passed a man who was a pain
ful spectacle of pallor, squalor and ragged
ness. His heart smote him and he turned
back. “If you are in want, “said Ritchie, with
some degree of peevishness, “why don’t, you
beg ?” “Sure it’s begging I am, yer honor.’,
“You didn’t say a word.” “Ov coorse not’
yer honor; but see how the skin is speakin
through the holes of my trowsers! a'*d (he
bones cryin’ out through me skin! Look t
me sunken cheeks, and the famine that’-*

Advice (worth million*'* draffs’
Every man should keep the wolf from thp
door, and his mother-m-law too, if he can.—
Every woman has a right, to be any age she
pleases, for if she were to state her real age
no one would believe her. Every one has
a right to wear a moustache who can. Ev
ery woman who makes puddings, has a per
fect right to believe that she can make a bet
ter pudding than any other woman in the
world. Every man who carves has a deci
ded right to think of himself by putting a
few of the best bits aside. Every woman
has a right to think her child the “prettiest
little baby in the world,” and it would be
the greatest folly to deny her this right, for
she would be sure to take it. Every young
lady has a right to faint when she pleases,
if her lover is by her side to catch her. Ev
ery fool has a right to be on the best terms
with himself, and that man is a greater fool
who dilfcrs with him about (hose terms.—
Every child who makes a noise, has a right
to be turned out of the room : and. supposing

A Wife’s Influence.—Judge O'Neal, in
the Yorkville Enquirer, tells the following
of Judge Wm. Smith, of South Carolina .
He had the rare blessing to win the love
of one of the purest, mildest and beet wo
men, whose character has ever been present
to the writer. He married Margaret Duff.
In his worst (lays she never upbraided him
by words, look or gesture, but always met
him as if he was one of the kindest and best
of husbands. This course on her part hum
bled him, and made him weep like a child.
This sentence, it i- hoped, will be remem
bered, was the language of Judge Smith to
the friend already named, and to those who
knew the stern, unbending public character
of the Judge, it will teach a lesson of how
much a patient woman’s love cau accom
plish. He was at last reformed by an iu
stance of her patient love and devotion as
he himself told it.
The evening before the Return Day of
the Court of Common Pleas for York Dis
trict. a client called with fifty notes to be
nut in suit. Mr. Smith was not in h s office
—he was on what is now fashionably called
a spree—then a frolic. Mis. Smith received
the notes and sat down in the office to the
work of issuing the writs and processes. She
spent ihe night at work—Mr. Smith in ‘riot
ous living.’ At daylight, on his way home
from his carousals, he saw a light in his of
fice, and to his great surprise saw his amia
ble wife, who bad just completed what ought
to hv° b-*en lus work, with her head on the

Col. Williams, ‘he set down to his faithful
obervance of this noble promise.’
To better eulogy could be pronounced on
Mrs. Smith than has just been given in the
words of her distinguished husband. The
reformation of such a man as William Smith
is a chaplet of glory which few women have
been permitted to wear. To the people of
South Carolina, and especially of York Dis
trict, certainly no stronger argument in favor
of temperance, total abstinence, needs be
given.
The Tomato — Its Properties. —Dr. Ben
nett, a professor of some celebrity, considers
it an invaluable article of diet, and ascribes
to it very important medical properties:
1. That the tomato is one of the most pow
erful ajiei ients of the Materia Medica. and
that in all those affections of the liver and
organs where calomel is iudisponsable, it is
probably the most effective and least harm
ful remedial agent known to the profession.
2. That a chemical extract pill can be ob
tained from it which will altogether super
sede the use of calomel in the cure ol dis
ease.
3. That he has successfully treated diar
rhoea with this article alone.
4. That when used as au article of diet, it
is almost a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia
and indigestion.— Repository.
