BY MISS A. W. SPRAOUE.
I worship at great Nature’s shrine,
Devout as any saint
That bows 1. t >re the “Groat White
Throne”
The past lias loved to paint;
My Temple is the universe,
Its dome the arching skv,
Its lamps the glorious, burning stars,
The clouds its imagery.
The Ocean my Baptismal Fount,
The “Holy Water” there ;
The fruits of earth, God’s “Sacrament,”
‘And all may in it share ;
The earth mv “Virgin Mother” pure,
To whom I kneel and pray ;
“Ave Maria,” says my soul—
She answers me alway.
The Crucifix to which 1 bend
Is God’s own Bow of Light ;
I count the Stars, like Catholics
That tell their beads at night;
The morning mist that graceful floats
And lingers on the hill,
Makes e’en the mountain seoin to me,
A nun, white-veiled und still.
And oh, that mighty Organ grand,
Whose countless thousand keys
Are scattered through the universe,
And swept by every breeze.
How does my inmost spirit thrill—
Spell-bound with magic wand—
Beneath those grand und solemn strains
Waked by the Master Hand.
I join this hymn of Nature’s choir
That hinds me as a spell—
With “Nature’s Beautiful” in prayer
I whisper “all is well
’Tis always Sabbath unto me,
And hallowed is the sod—
One Priest is at my Altar there—
That Priest the living God.

George Ureal heart-
Decidedly peculiar was .Mr. GcorpoGrcnt
’ivcart. lie was not, like many people, over
bearing, miserly, ignorant, and proud; but
whole Routed, honest and wise. These three
elements are enough to make any man be
loved and respected. With Mr. George
Grentheart everything was sunshine, smiles,
hope and kindness. No wonder that his
home was always the abode of pence, and
happiness: no wonder that Lillian and Wit.
liain loved their father; no wonder that .Mrs.
Grentheart smiled when she saw her hus
band ; no wonder that the townspeople all
raided their hats and wished him well as he
passed ; why should it he otherwise, for he
was their friend 1
With all his good traits, Mr. George
•Grentheart was pecular, not after the fashion
•of the world, hut after his own fashion.—
His was a peculiarity in ‘.he right direction,
to do good. He believed in helping those
who could not help themselves, and in do
ing sonic good with his money while he
lived. More than one well-to-do young
man has received his education through the
< generosity of -Mr. Grentheart.
Mr. Grentheart was not, like many pres
j nt day would-be benefactors, who upon their
I death sav, “There, I’ll give so many
thousands to this College, and so many to
! that Institution, and so many to that ISoeie
i ty,” all of which are more than able to ex
i ist without them, for the sake of having his
name handed down to future generations,
with the following item of history attach-
I ed :
‘*Mr. Skin A. Flint was a crent and good
1 .man, tilled with kindness and benevolence,
i He ainas-ed a large fortune—sl,ooo,ooo —
(by grinding the faces of tbe poor); and
when lit-was called upon to part with this
earth, be made several munificent bequests,
giving to A College (which is one of
the wealtl i st in the Country, and did not
need his gold) ten thousand dollars; to B
University t"n thousand; to C Obser
’ vatory ten thousand. Ho! all the inlnibi
; tants of the world, praise ye his name.”
George Grentheart put his hands within his
pockets, ‘while yet in the “form,” saying;
“Take it is thine.” ‘bn likehim are the
kind the people like to honor. What if his
full length portrait or marble bust does not
grace some public hall? Who cares for your
Peter Goldhcads. vour Baron do Snuff Boxes
or Joseph Getall And K>epit? What have
they done towards elevating humanity? or
relieving jxKir povert/-stricken mankind ?
“Oh!” says some little upstart, squinting
through his opera glasses, “Air. Peter Gold
bead gave forty thousand dollars toward
founding a professorship. Isn’t that some
thing ?’’
If, we reply, he had sent forty poor young
men through college with his dollars, he
would have done something indeed ; now
his money may rust in the vaults of banks,
or be squandered to support some knowledge
cracked professor in his idleness. Out upon

1 “Be Emphatic. Jone3 ! Touch ’Em
on the Haw ! ’
From the Knickerbocker fur December.
S.ncc the time when John Plxeuix, in the
i absence of “Boston,” the editor ol Sail Die
go Herald, took temporary charge of that
now’ illustrious journal, ami changed its pol
itics ir\ the very first number issued under
his supervision—whence ensued that mem
* cable battle, wherein tin* returned editor
was so singularly worsted (!) —since that
period until tiie present, we have seen noth
ing in its kind more laughable than a little
sketch which we have received, with the
heading: “Be Emphatic, Jones!—Touch
‘em on the Raw! ’ Alt papers, “R-publican,”
‘Democrat,” “American,” “Whig,” “Con
servative,” all are full of ‘‘Xir/ger ” as we
write ia late October—“ Old John Brown, ’’
“Cooke,’’ “Nigger”—“Nigger,” “Cooke,”
“Old John Brown;” these are the journals
of the day, East West, North and South.—
Tnere is no polifeal “offer,ce” in the sketch ;
and the Republicans themselves, we venture
to say, will laugh at it as heartily as their
opponents. We clip here and there, but
with no detriment to the story : Jones was
r. journeyman printer, upon “The Genius,’
a Republican newspaper, nominally edited
bv a popular and abU lawyer, who, howev
er could do his duty to bis clients and tbe
paper too ; either his briefs or his editorials
must come lamely off. and the paper suffer
ed in consequence. The proprietor, who,
although a good manager and a practical
man. knew no hing at all about editing; be
wouldn't trust himself to select a paragragh
from another paper, or accept for publica
tion anything which did not emanate from
the pen of the’editor. And now, behold,
he was in trouble. The neglect of the os
tensible editor was greatly reducing the sub
scription list. That worthy was out of
town, engaged in an important lawsuit, and
the proprietor, being in despair, hastens af
ter him:
He left the city hurriedly in search of his
cditoi, but was himself delayed a day be
yond ids appointed time to return. In this
state of affairs there was but one course to
pursue. -Tones was the ‘clever fellow’ of
the establishment; and he was instructed
to ‘get out’ tbe issue of ‘The Genius,’ during
the temporary absence of both editor and
owner. The following is an exact copy of !
the ‘letter of instruction’ received from the j
ab=ent proprietor, together with the post
cript by the ‘regular’ editor:
Posvvillk, Oct. 2, 1809.
Dear Jones :—“Can’t come till morning.
Get out best paper you can. Write short
articles, and stir up the party for not giving
their organs more assist mice. ’ 11. E.
p, S. —By the liditor —“Be emphatic,”
Jones! —‘touch ’em on the raw !’ A. J. L.
The Genius was a Republican paper, of
the broadest‘stripe;’and that Jones did not
exactly like, ‘nor never did;’ for lie was a
strong Democrat, and iiad on several occa
sions reasoned with the publisher upon the
propriety and policy of changing the polities
ufthe paper. No proposition of tins sort,
however, could be entertained. The Geni
us owed its existence to the Republican par
ty. Its politics was its lifeblood. Never-I
theless, a very gteat privilege was here ex- i
tended to Jones. He was instructed to j
stir ’em up,’ to be ‘emphatic,’ and to ‘touch
’em on tbe raw ;’ he hail full powers.
At length ‘the deed was done;’ the next
Genius appeared with the following startling
editorial :
The Nigger—We .admire him. We love
him. We go in for him. We have but one
idea, and that is Nigger. We have but one
dream, and that is ditto. We preach from
but one text, and that is ditto. We sing but
one song, and that is ditto. We play but
one tune, and that is ditto. We go our full
lengthen Nigger. Wo are ail over ditto.
We are ditto in the morning. We are ditto
at noon. We are ditto at night. We'are
ditto ail the time. We live ou ditto. We
sleep on ditto. We’l! die on ditto. And
yet , icould you believe it, reader, The Genius
don't pay! !’
While the writer of this‘stirring’ editorial
was enjoying, next morning, a pleasing rev
erie at his success in editing, the offica door
was thrown violently open by the exasper
ated proprietor.
“You internal scoundrel!” he fairly roar
ed, rushing towards .Toies; but betbre he
could finish his sentence, the latter had made
his escape. The editor, however, arrived
just ; n time to catch him at the street door.
‘Jones!’ he shouted, at the same time
shaking a copy of the paper in hi face,
“Look here 1 What have you done ?”
“I reckon I have touched ‘em on the raw
said the bewildered Jones.
By this time the proprietor, boiling over
with rage, had joined the eipial'y excited
editor.
‘Yon have killed the paper!’ exclaimed
the proprietor.
‘YouYave ruined me /’ followed the edi
tor.
‘How did you come to write such a sav
age article ?’ asked the proprietor.
‘To stir ‘tin up a little,’ mildly answered
Jones.
‘The thing is outrageous!’said the editor,
‘lt is a little emphatic,’ replied Jones.
At this point there was a ‘lively time,’
consequent upon a rush of Republicans and
Democrats to the office of the Genius.’ The
former were toil ot indignation, and staved
and raved; the Democrats, on the contrary,
were jubdant. Each carried a copy of the
paper containing Jones’ fatal editorial, laud
ed it to the skies, and promised all sorts of
assistance. The* old friends of the paper
swore eternal enmity, and commenced their
| onslaught by ordering their advertisements
out and their names erased from the sub
scription book. At length after the great
est din and confusion, the “regular’’ editor
was permitted toexplain. He told the whole
story ; discovered the authorship of the ob
noxious editorial; condemned the semi
ments thereiu expressed ; promised to make
ample apology in a succeeding issup, and
assured the patrons of The Genius that he
would give up the practice of the law, lay
Biackstone on the shelf, aud remain perma
nently at his post. Accordingly, the next
day, the matter was set right. Poor Jones
come in for some heavy shots for the tiouole
he had caused, and what was still worse,
nothing but his removal from the concern*
would satisfy the outraged Genius’ patrons.
The Democrats of the town, i.owever, came
to Jones’ rescue. They started a paper ot
their own; made Jones their “re gular” ed
itor, and to this day his business with his
opponents is, to “ stir ‘em vp aud touch em on
the raw /”
Distribution of Religious Truth.—
In the last number of the Atlantic
Monthly, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes
thus discourses on this subject:
Do you know that every man has a
religious belief peculiar to himself?—
Smith is always a Smithite. He takes
in exactly Smith’s-worth of knowledge,
Smith’s-worth of truth, of beauty, of
divinity. And Brown has, from time
immemorial, been trying to bum him,
to excommunicate him, to anonymous*
article him, because he did not take in
Brown’s-worth of Knowledge, truth,
beauty, divinity. lie cannot do it, any
more than a pint pot can hold a quart,
or a quart pot to be filled by a pint. —
Iron is essentially the same every where
and always ; but the sulphate of iron is
never the same as the carbonate of iron.
Truth is invariable; but the Smithate of
truth must always and tier from the Brcwn
ate of truth.
National Ideas of Paradise.
Almost all nations have united to make
the future abode of goo 1 spirits a garden;
a name among the Assyrians synonymous
with Paradise. The Mahometans cali the
Paradise to which the faithful will be called,
Jannat le Nain, the Garden of Pleasure;
Jtnnat Aden, the Garden of Perpetual Abode;
and not nnfrequently by the simple name ot
Al Jarmat . the Garden, to distinguish it
from all others. The Laplander believes
Paradise to be situated in the centre of the
snows of Sweden ! The Muscogulgees im
agine it among the islands of the Pacific.—
The Mexicans conceived, that those who
died of wounds, or wore drowned, went to
a cool and delightful p'aee. there to enjoy all
manner of pleasures; those who died in
battle, or in captivity, were wafted to the
palace of the sun, and led a life of endless
delight. After an abode of four years in
this splendid habitation, they animated
clouds, and birds of beautilul feather and of j
sweet songs, having at the same time liber
ty to ascend to heaven or descend to earth,
to suck sweet flowers and warble enchant
ing songs.
The Tonquinese imagine the forests and
mountains to be peopled with a pecuhr-r kind
of genii, who exercise an influence over the
affairs of mankind; and in their ideas, rela
tive to a state of future happiness, they re
gard a delighful climate, and an atmosphere,
surcharged with odors, with a throne, pro
fusely covered with garlands ot flowers, as
the summit of celestial felicity. Among the
Arabs, a fine country, with abundance of I
shade, form the principal object of their pro
mised bliss. There is a tribe of America,
who believe that the souls of good men, are
conveyed to a pleasant valley, abounding in
gauvas and other delicious fruits. The heav
en of the Celts wa3 called Fluth-innis, “the
Island of the good and the brave;” thtir
hell Ilfurin, “the Island of Cold Climate.”
The Druids, as we are informed by Amrnaiu
us Marceliinus, believed that the souls of
good men were in progressive course, from
planet to planet, enjoying at every suejess
tive change a more sublime felicity than in
the last.
A CHAPTER ON BABIES.
Ilya C'liiitilets Mother.
“A baby in the house is a well-spring of
pleasure.” Then the bouses of our ambi
tions little village must be well watered, for
gnch a crop of babies as we show this seasou
has rarely been exhibited since Barnums’
harvest a few years since. Indeed
our excessive efforts and improvements in
tliis direction led one amateur judge to ob
serve. in the classic language of Young
America, that ‘‘if we were a one horse, we
were certainly not a one baby concern.”
Our district has ever been celebrated for
its choice flowers and elegant bouquets.—
Several gentlemen have proved that our
blackberries and pears are likely to become
as renowned as our time-honored pippin,
and now we may add with truth that, our
babies are as “plenty as blackberries,” and
quite as worthy of notice. We have large
babies and small babies; light babies and
dark babies; quiet babies and babies;
boy babies and girl babies—all sorts of
babies, except ugly babus and cross babies
—fortunately, a l our babies are good and
handsome!
As we poor childless wives meekly go
from house to house, we learn that each new
baby that is presented for our inspection is
heavier, prettier, more forward and more
excellent than any other mother’s baby.—
•‘Mrs. Slouch’s baby is a nice little creature,
but so small!” “Mrs. Slim’s baby is a
cunning fellow, but what a head!” “The
Tumble Bug’s babies are always dumpy, and
the new one has such stary (not starry)
eyes.” “Mrs. Flinders baby is a darliog
little girl; but did you see its nose?”—
Whereas this baby —that is the baby we are
holding in our awkward, unaccustomed
arms, is just the dearest, loveliest, cunning
et little creature that ever was born ! We
sufie down a rebellious sigh as we think of
our own quiet home, where cradle cares
aud cradle joys never intrude; where no
gentle baby’s breathings ever freight the air
with sweet anxieties; where no baby’s soft
murmur ot satisfied content or helpless com
plaining is over to break the unnatural still
of a chile less home. We look on this
mother's baby, aud our yearning becomes
a prayer for faith to kuow that God doeth
all things well!
Why do Children I>ie ?
The reason why children die, says
Hall’s Journal of Health , is because they
are not taken care of. , From the day of
birth they are stuffed with food, choked
with physic, sloshed with water, suffocat
ed in hot rooms, steamed in bed clothes.
So much for in doors. When permit
ted to breathe a breath of pure air once
a week in summer, and once or twice
during the coldest months; only the
nose is permitted to peer into daylight.
A little later they are sent out with no
clothes at all, as .o the parts of the body
which most need protection. Bare legs,
bare arms, bare necks, girted middle
most, with an inverted umbrella to col
lect the air and chill the other parts ot
the body. A stout, strong man goes out
on a cold day with gloves and overcoat,
woolen stockings and thick, double-soled
boots, with cork between and rubbers
over. The same day a child of three
years old, an infant in flesh and blood
and bone and constitution, goes out with
soles as thin as paper, cotton socks, legs
uncovered to the knees, neck bare; an
exposure which would disable the nurse,
kill the mother in a fortnight, and make
the father an invalid for weeks. And
why ? To harden them to a mode of
drhss which they are never expected to
practice. To accustom them to expos
ure, which, a dozen years later, would
be considered downright foolery. To
rear children thus for the slaughter pen,
and then lay it to the Lord, is too bad.
We don’t think the Almighty has apy
hand in it. And to draw comfort from
the presumption that He has any agen
cy in the death of a child, in the manner
of the quoted article, is a presumption
and a profanation.
NUMBER 41*
A Slight Mistake.
One cool afternoon in the tarly fall,
1, Chester F. Le Hoy, a gentleman—
stood on the platform of the Albany de
pot, watching the procession of passen
gers just arrived in the Hudson River
boat, who defiled past me on their way
to tiie cars. The Uoston train, by which
1 had come, waited patiently as steam
and fire might, for their leisure, with
only occasional ami faint snorts of re
monstrance of the delay ; yet still the
jostling crowd hurried past into the cars,
and flitted through them in search of
seats, their increasing number at last
warned me that l might find it difficult
to regain my own, and 1 followed them.
“ I beg your pardon, sir.”
“ 1 turned, iu obedience to a touch on
my arm. and saw a respectable looking
negro man before me, who bore the
travelling bag and shawl, and was evi
dently the attendant of a slender and
stylish girl behind him.
“ Do I speak,” he said, bowing res
pectfully, and glancing at the portman
teau I carried, on which my surname
was quite legible, do 1 address, sir, Mr.
Leltoy 1
“That is my name —at your service—
what can 1 do for you t”
“The young lady', Miss Florence Dun
dard, who was to join you at Albany at
six o’clock this evening—l have charge
of her.” lie turned to the young lady
behind him.
“This is Mr. Leßoy, Miss.”
The young lady, whose dark blue
eyes had been scanning me, as I could
perceive, through her blue silk veil, now
lifted it with an exquisitely gloved little
hand, and extended the other to me,
with a charming mixture of frankness
and timidity.
“1 am very glad to meet you, Mr. Le-
Roy,” she said, “1 thought 1 should know
you in a moment, Jenny described you
accurately. Ilow kind it was ot you to
offer to take charge of me. I hope I
shan’t trouble you.”
In the midst of my bewilderment, at
thus being addressed by the sweetest
voice in the world, I managed to see that
I must make a proper reply, and pro
ceeded to stammer out what 1 thought an
appropriate speech, when the servant,
who had left us lor a moment, returned,
and I abandoned it unfinished.
*-Did you see my baggage, Edward •”
asked his mistress.
“Yes, Miss ; it is all on.”
“Then you had better hurry to reach
the 7 o’clock boat. Good bye, and tell
them you saw me off.”
I stood like one in a dream, while the
man handed me two checks for the
trunks and indued mo with the light
baggage he had carried ; but 1 was arous
ed by the young lady’s asking me if we
had not better sccuie our seats iu the
cars and 1 answered by offering her my
arm. In ten minutes we were seated
side by side, and truddling out of Al
bany at a rate that grew faster and
faster.
1 had no time to reflect, with that
lovely face opposite me, but what was
ths use. Some strange mistake had
undoubtedly happened, and I had un
doubtedly been taken for another pei
son of the same name; but how to rem
edy this now, without alarming the in
nocent young in my charge, how to find
the right name, among several hundred
people, and how to transfer her, with
out an unpleasant scene and explanation,
to the care of someone whose person
was no less strange to her than mine !
While these thoughts whirled through
my head, I happened to encounter those
smiling eyes fixed upon me, and their
open, unsuspicious gaze decided me. I
will not trouble or distress her by any
knowledge of her position,’ I conclud
ed but will just do my best to fill the
place of the individual she took me for,
and conduct her wherever she wishes to
go, if 1 eau only find where it is 1” I
turned to her with an affectation, of ease,
which I was very tar from feeling, and
said, ‘‘it is a long journey,”
“Do you think so ? But it is a very
pleasant one, isn’t it? Cousin Jenny
enjoyed it so much !”
Ah, indeed !”
“Why, why, what a queer man!”
she said, with a laugh. “ Doesn’t she
never tell you, as she does me : n all her
letters, how happy she is, and that St.
Louis is the sweetest place in the world
to live in ? Dear me! that l should
have to tell her own husband first. —
llow we shall laugh about it when we
get there.”
So it was St. Louis where we were
