As she tremblingly stoof’,mi the marble step And leaned on the poh iied wall. Her dress was thin and lyr feet were bare, \nd the snow had covens! her head. “Oh, give me a home,’ te feebly asked, “A home and a bit of bread.’’ “My father, alas, I neverknew,” And the tears dimmed her eyes so bright, “My mother sleeps in a :,ew made grave. ’Tis an orphan that bees to-night.” ’Twas cold and dark, aciLyfow veil fast, But the rich man shut .tis door, His proud face frownoij- as he scornfully said, ] / “No bread, no room fAy"tfpoor.” The hours passed Jhe midnight chime telX Pealed out like a funcnp-kncll, The earth seemed wrappi J; in winding sheet, And the drifting fell. “I must freeze,” slic si7l, as she shrank on the ground, I 9 And strove to cover lici' feet With the tattered dress all covered witli snow,. Yes, covered with snoi ’ and sleet. The rich man slept on life velyet conch, Ami dreamed of his sijvei and gold, The little girl lay on a hid of snow And murmured, “socold, so cold.” The morning dawned ; tire little girl Still lay at the rich mail's door.

JOSHUA XNOWLESj DELIVERED AT THE-*rfIURCH OP THE REDEEMED, GKEENiBBORO, ON THE THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT, IT BEING THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS MINISTRY. Text: "As for me qtu l my home we mil serve the Lord,." —Jost.ui 24th, part of 15tli verse. v Asa wise and profound states man—as a great policial and mil itary leader; and better than all, as an eminent sfervaiit of God, the author of this text rises up grandly before us in sacred fitory. Of the tribe of Ephraim,t!*ii Ultimate friend and ftSSaeitti* ofjiVfoaos ; like him a H L- Ohriivt—his name Savionr^when! Moses ascended upon Sinai to re ceive the decalogue, and remained there forty days and forty nights Joshua remained with him. “Fill- ed with the spirit of wisdom” by divine communications and holy associations—with a lofty patriot ism and no loss ominent piety— with great decision of character and invincible courage, he was well qualified to succeed Moses in the government of Israel. Asa great military leader, he first signalized his valor and prow ess in his famous battle with the Amalekites, whom the inspired his torian declares he fought until the going down of the sun, and discom fitted them with the edge of the sword. Having, at the command of God, passed over Jordan, and taken pos session of the promised land, and settled the chosen tribes in the peaceable possession of their rich inheritance, after many well fought battles, he retired to Shechem or according to some writers, to Shi loh, where rested the ark of God. There he assembled the elders of Israel, the heads of families, as we learn, the Judges and other officers —and, presenting them before the Lord, he recapitulated to them the wonderful Providences of Jehovah over them, from the da} s of Abra ham to that moment—recounted the gracious and merciful dispen sations of God towards themselves and their fathers before them—re minded them of their present en viable lot, and concluded his sol emn valedictory with the emphatic words of the text—“As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” The Bible, my hearers, every where teaches that man is a free responsible moral agent. A moral agent is one capable of moral ac tion. An act is rendered good or evil according to the motive or in telligence of the actor. Now, God has, for wise and gracious pur poses, extended over the human family, a moral government, to which he demands loyalty and obedience. This he demands alike of individuals and communities. Especially does he hold the heads of households personally responsi ble for a faithful discharge of pa rental duty. This Jehovah has; done in every age and under every dispensation. This Joshua well understood, when he entered into j covenant relations with the God of heaven, and gave thesolenm pledge: “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” These covenant ralations, these solemn obligations and responsibilities, voluntarily and publicly assumed by individuals and nations, cannot bo ignored or sot aside*without personal and na tional peril. Daniel Webster, the great Amer ican statesman, was once asked, on a festive occasion, what was the most solemn thought that ever oc cupied his mind. With serious em phasis, be replied—“my individu al responsibility to God.” How solemn and impressive, in deed, my hearers, is the reflection, that there is not a thought or act in the life of a naan, but carries with it a train of consexuences lasting as eternity, shapes and colorr. our own existence and destiny, sand shades or brightens the remind destiny of Others. The good or evil we do in this life, will, invisi ble or invisible form live when we have passed away. Indeed human actions, both good or evil “possess an essence of immortal ity.” No man’s words or acts die ut terly. His body may dissolve into dust and air, but his good or bad deeds will still bring forth fruit af ter their kind, and in their season, and influence, for good or evil, suc ceeding generations for all coming time. How important, then, the invocation “Let the words of my mouth and meditations of my heart be always acceptable unto Thee, O Lord, my strength and my Redeem er.” We cannot, if we would, and should not if could, stand solitary and alone. Neither can our acts. No man liveth to himself. Every act we perform or word we utter, we repeat, carries with it an influ ence which extends over, and gives a color, not only to our whole life, but makes itself felt upon the wliole structure of society. This is emi nently true of men in high official position, and is well is illustrated in the case of the author of the text. We may not be able to trace in all it§ sinuous ramifications this influence among oar friends and associates—but there it is, leavening the whole lump,and working on, on forever ! And herein, my brethrefcilies the great importance of parental exam ple as well as parent* teaching ; of noble moral action $ as-well as sound moral lessons. How sub limely grand, in this respect, is tJu example of Joshua. As for me and my house }ve will serve the Lord. Noble resolution! worthy of the laurelled hero and pious statesman. Since its utterance how many mil lions have given it a hearty res ponse by imitative example in ev ery age and every land 1 We are too apt to ignore the il lustrious worthies of the Old Tes tament dispensation, so happily grouped by St. Paul iu the lltli chapter of his epistle to the He brews. Hence we fail to observe their resemblance—often superior ity—to those of more modern times. Study carefully the characters of Moses and Joshua and you will find that in all the elements which make great men they were the peers of any who came after them. Where will you find a grander ex hibition of heroic courage and un selfish patriotism, united to politi cal integrity and humble piety? Where such undying devotion to God and country ? We complain, and justly, too, of the civilization of this age—of po litical, social and moral diseases and disorders, and the general de moralization and downward ten dency of American society. This may all be very well, But we too often lose sight of the emanating fountain of these dire evils, and these inveterate and merciless po litical and moral maladies. It is found in the homes and hearts of the people. As God and His holy Laws have often been banished so have tbe restraining influences of His holy religion ceased to pro duce their appropriate and salutary effect upon public and private mor als. In Christian households, so called, as injthe case of the Israel ites, the God of heaven has too of ten been supplanted by the god oi of this world. Jehovah must be quickly restored and enthroned as the immortal centre of our coun try’s hopes and safety, or our ca- reer will be downward, downward! Keason, science, philosophy, lit erature, political economy, juris prudence, learning—all have their appropriate place and mission. But God should preside over,shape, direct, pervade and control them all. His perfections, government and providence, should be the ever present theme of every household and nation under heaven. The religion of Christ, my hear ers, was intended first of all to per vade and adorn domestic and so cial life, and shed its lustre upon pious households, of which Deity himself was to be the life and light and joy. He created man for this very purpose, that he might multi ply for himself fit associates—be ! ings of similar longings and habits 1 —that is, God-like—God-like in principles, feelings and aspirations. Deity delights in holy companion ship. For this he made the an-j gels, and then man, a little lower than the angels, and crowned liim with glory and honor. Upon him, the Bible tells us, He net 11 in Heart, because man reflected His own likeness. I love to contemplate this fatherhood of God, for are not we all His offspring? This domes tic and social principle and aspect runs through the whole divine \ economy. God loves to multiply the ob jects of his care, bouuty and affec tion. His is made up of countless dependencies, of great er or lesser, magnitudes' wIG-AT re volve arotinfj a:id clra’tv their Bib and light from the great invisible centre and source. Now the first and most interesting of these de pendencies, because the germ of those of greater magnitude, is the home circle. These circles, assim ilated aud blended form the House hold of God on earth and will be perpetuated through eternity. In the great hereafter, God will dwell visibly among His people. To bis children, this thought is enraptur ing. Do you doubt it ? Hear what St. John says : “And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and be will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and their shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying ; neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.” Here we have a scene of the great hereafter. Pa rents, would you, wifh your chil dren, be grouped in that blissful household, adopt and practice the text. Imitate the example of the illustrious leader of Israel, and. in due time you will dwellwith him in everlasting habitations. Some of you, myhhearers,, like Joshua, for yourselves and your ,children,haye entered publicly into solemn agreement to serve God “to life’s end.” This sacred vow was sealed by baptism. It introduced you into the church of tbe living God, and separated yoo from loy alty to tbe wdrld. But tnereiaan ; other scriptural rite which is in- I tended to make this covenant still more explicit, binding, and bltssed: the rite of confirmation. By its re ception the soul may be strength ened and encouraged to more fully keep its baptismal vows, and fight more valiantly under Christ’s ban ner “against sin, the world, and the devil.” This religious season, with its fearful admonitory events, is well suited to remind us of our cove nant vows, and cause us, like God’s ancient people to perform and re new them. Having long made trial of the service of the Most High, yeur pas tor can confidently commend to youDg and old the choice and. ex ample of the illustrious author of the. text. THEORY OF CYCLONES. BY M. E. D. For the Home Journals 1 The terrible hurricanes which lay all things flat before them orig inate in .the hot waters of the Gulf of Mexico. They are attributed to the partial blending of the North East upper current with the heated South Western. In earlier times these storms which sweep as with the besom of destruction the Is lands of the gulf rarely reached far ther than tbe “gulf slope” of our Continent. Lieutenant Maury, of the signal service predicted, some years go—an invasion of the higher latitudes by these disturbing influ ences. This proDhecy has been fearfully fullfilled in tbe phenomena which for the last ten or twelve years, have visited our section, known as tornadoes or cyclones. During the first half of this centu ry the storms, said to occur in low er Mississippi, and in Southern Georgia, were almost legendary, to persons living 34 degrees North of the Equator. The recent, and in creasingly frequent aggression up on all the Southern States, has been in part-explained by the clearing of forest lauds; —the ex posure of large tracts of. bare sur face to the sun’s ray, generating those processes, which render the air unstable. The expansion of air over these large surfaces may act as maelstroms, drawing the storm currents Northward. We have seen that a disturbance many thousand miles distant will affect us here, in some measure. It is reasonable likewise, to suppose, that forest trees form obstruction, to the vio lent collision of the warm and cold currents; but our Continent has nothing to do with the origin or frequency of these irruptions. It s well known that before the 21st., I BUMS :—sl2 OO per Annum, in Advance. WHOLE NUMBER 563 of March the Tropics begin to feel the effects of a vertical sun. The heated air, in the locality of the Caribbean Sea < specially, sends up columns with an ascensional force, in proportion to the expansion. As the heated atoms mingle with the colder current, the conflict for power is unrivalled by any other forces of nature. In Seaman’s phrase the winds follow the Sun, tor that reason these storms mav be looked for, in our hemisphere, in the spring, veering from South west to Northeast. Professsoi Loomis proves from weather re ports, that in February storm di*- cou.se 13 degrees -tt'orti* ■’•'£’*' ; '. l ® * t ,rc b 11 degre ,o.nd in xtr afcgrew-.Tb_ ~ ws physical science may be applied to tbe nature of these fearful phe nomena, but their frequency and increasing destructiveness would seem to baffle all human inves tigation. True, much is said about j electricity. The sun, as Sir John Herschel supposed, is a “magnetic storm,” and is incessantly exerting this influence on our earth. On this principle the ‘Aurora Borealis’ is accounted for ; and to this, may be possibly ascribed the auroras and brilliant sunsets of the present time ; but to say that the spots on the sun have any unusual power on our atmosphere, is wandering into conjecture, for there is no prece dent on which to found the assump tion. It is a fearful fact, that our at mosphere contains an electric bat tery, which requires only friction or heat to set it in operation. The oxygen gas which surrounds the fearth “like a sphere of sheet-tin” Receives magnetism from it, and is capable of being positively electri fied. Tbe diurnal rotation of the earth gives rise to the establish ment of Electric currents by the successive heating of its parts. These currents are in oontinnal cir culation through the atmosphere, having one uniform direction in circles. Whether the column of hot air, with vapo; r from the ocean, appears as an oval spot of flame, as a whirling cylinder, or as an inverted cone—it is a flying vac uum. “Nature abhors a vacuum,” therefore cold air rushes in with the ..fury pf necessity—electrical power is excited by friction, the * positive atoms go to one pole, the negative to the other, and a circuit is maintained, giving the rotary motion, which first draws into, and then scatters everything in its prog ress. But its movement is not sta ble. “Sometimes,” as a good wri ter has. described it, “drawing it- self up with loud and sulleu roar, then rushing impetuously down to earth, then again to the sky, reel ing and sweeping onward, it”leaves a path perhaps only a few rods wide, strewed with debris, and tbe trunks 0 trees all turned inward.” Sometimes, the ranfied air acts like a pump, unroofing houses, un corking bottles, etc. Again, the conflict of atoms lashes everything with unrelenting fury, and bears up on its fearful pinions, the wreck of all that man holds dear. Amid the general destruction something has been spared. Perhaps it lay in the points of the magnetic cures, the tendency being to force outward from the centres of action. Rolling on, with the crackling sound of ten thousand times ten thonsan atomic explosions, and fed by fuel from the surrounding atmosphere, it acquires an excess of electricity and tbe surplus, esca ping by tbe mutual repulsion of the particles, it descends, to “make desolations” on this fair earth; then, having from its proximity to tbe earth, received a fresh charge, the evolution of heat gives new as censional force, and it rises out of harms way, for a time. Meet ing fortuitously with a cold current from some elevation, or rent in twain by intestine war, each engine of • destruction, concentrating its own forces, follows a sc parate course, gyrating, according to bar ometric indications, ’till it falls, ex hausted, in the polar current of of our Eastern Atlantic coast. In looking to the physical causes let us not ignore the moral teach ings of these awful visitations. All nature is a miracle, and that mira cle is the finger of God. Wheiher in this sublime panorama the Di- vine Being intends to exact from a thoughtless race, that reverence which it will not voluntarily give, or whether he permits the “prince of the power of the air,'’ to wreak his malevolence upon a world, too devoted to his service, no law of physical or moral science can de termine ; but of two things we are well assured : first, that the victims of these sad disasters are not sin ners beyond any that are among us; second, that whatever the agency, and whatever the event, God is the Judge of all the earth, and he will do right. Earth speaks in mysteries; but Hcaveu shall tell Through all its sounding aisles: “lle doetij all things well!”
