Going out to an evening party at
Uncle Logan’s was no small affair,
after considering that it was a good
five miles ride from Glendale oat in
to the country, over rough roads,,
with Gunpowder river—swollen by
recent rains—to be crossed. For
this was in a remote and secluded

Besides, Virginia Gale was a first
rate horse-woman. That she was
rather rash and fool-hardy, will ap
pear from the fact that she resolved
to cumber herself with a burden,
though of a very interesting kind.
To bo brief—it was still early, nf a
clear frosty evening, when Virginia
came out equipped for the ride.
‘Here, Hester, hold the baby. Now,
Charlie—’
And giving him her hand, she
placed her foot in the other, and
sprang lightly into the saddle.
‘Now give him to me.’
The idea of such a mother-bird as

the evening and leaving her baby,

‘Dear little fellow, how bright he
looks,’ she said, fondly pulling down
the shawl, ‘Look, Charlie.’
And the little one gave a soft coo,
in answer to papa’s merry chirrup, as
he looked into the huge bundle of
shawls, and patted the tiny, rosy face

lie, who lay curled up in his warm
nest fast asleep, with one little fat
thumb in his month.
‘I wonder what makes Charlie so
late?’ she said at last impatiently.
‘Aunt Lizzie, will you please send
for him, and say I am waiting.'
He came at length, bat the first
words he spoke ic alL
Oh, the shame! She hardly dared
to speak to him. All her thought
was to get him away before he be-
better of it.
‘What do you think of it, Charles?
Hadn’t we better stay ?’ she asked
persuasively.
But liquor had made him sullen.
‘No, we must go home,’
She knew it would avail nothing
to argue the matter with him, but
only lead to a painful exposure ; so
she commenced paying her adienx.
By dint of gentle coaxing she in
duced him to give the babe to her
before they started.
As they rode away Uncle Logan
shouted out to them :
‘Look out for the river!’
Virgie’s heart was too heavy for
reply, but Charles shouted back with
maudlin cheerfulness :
‘All right!’
As they rode on she saw that he
was sinking into a drunken stupor.
Oh, if »hey were only safe at home,
how glad she would be! And then
she thought of the river yet to be
crossed ; and every breath was a
prayer. She determined not to let
him have the child when crossing ;
but to trust to her own courage to
carry herself and the babe through.
She hoped ho would not think to
ask her for the child, and was nerv
ing herself for a refusal, in case he
should, when they came in sight of
the water.
The moon shone down, making i:
as bright as day. Virgie thanked
heaven for that! But she shuddered
as the sweep of waters fell on her
car ; and she saw it foaming white
in the moonlight as it swept on in a
strong current.
Charles aroused himself.
‘ Where's the boy ?’
‘Never mind, dear! he's asleep,
and I don’t bke to disturb him. I
can carry him over. I’m strong
enough for it.’
‘What is the woman thinking of?
You carry him over indeed ? Give
him to me.’
‘But, Charles you are not in a con
dition to hold him. I shall be
thankful if you guide your horse over
safely as you are - ’
‘Ha! What do you mean by that ?’
She made no answer.
‘Do you take me for a fool ?’ he said
roughly and angrily.
‘No, Charles don’t do so! You
know your arm is very unsteady
just now. It is indeed!'
‘Ah, I understand you now. So
madam, I suppose you think I am
drunk ?’
Again she was silent.
‘Give me the child!’ he said fiercc-
! J*
‘Oh, Charles! For God’s sake—’
‘Give him to me, I say! Do you
think to brave me so ? Give him to
me this minute!’
Resistance, she knew was useless.
It would only serve to infuriate him,
and what will not a drunken man do.
Uncovering the little sleeping face
she kissed it onee—then drawing
closer the thick shawls which envel
oped the little figure, she covered the
face again, and gave him into her
husband’s arms.
‘Charles, for heaven’s sake be care
ful !’
‘Don’t be a fool.’
So they plunged in, and she did
not take her eyes from the other two,
until they had nearly reached the
opposite bank. Then her horse
stepped on a stone, and slipping,
nearly precipitated her into the wa
ter. When her attention was again
free, they had reached the other
shore.
‘There fee is,* said Charles triumphant
ly, as he placed the bundle in her arms.
‘What a simpleton yon were to think
I couldn't bring him over safely. 1
How very light it was ! Good heav
ens ! She moved it along in her arms—
pressed it close—then ottering a fear-

The home of the Gales is very still
now. Virgie‘s pale face seems paler
yet, from the contrast with her black
dress. The cradle looks so desolate,
standing always back in one corner of
the nursery. She never passes it with

she will sit for hours, folding and unfold

left his home in North Carolina tobe-
come the first settler of Kentucky. The
first pioneers of Ohio did not settle until
twenty years after this time. A hundred
years ago Canada belonged to France,
and thewholepopalation did not exceed a
million and a half of people. A hundred
years ago, the great Frederick of Prus
sia was performing those great exploits
which have made him immortal in mili
tary annals, and with his little monarchy
was sustaining a single-handed contest
with Russia, Austria, and France, the
three great powers of Europe combined.
A hundred years ago, Napoleon was not
born, and Washington was a modest
Virginia colonel, and the great events in
history of the two worlds, in which these
great but dissimilar men took leading
parts, Were thens carcely -foreshadowded.
A hundred years ago, the United States
were the most loyal part of the British
empire, and on the political horizon no
speck indicated the struggle which
within a score- of years thereafter estab

A hundred years ago, there were bat

A Woman’s Sermon.—Dear friends,
there aro three things I very mnch
wonder at. The first is, that children
should be foolish as to throw up stones
and brickbats and clubs into fruit-trees,
to knock down the frnit; if they would
let it alone, it would fall itself. The
second is, that men should be so foolish
and even so wicked as to go to war and
kill one another; if they would only let
each other alone, they would die of
themselves. And the third and- lost
thing which I wonder at is, that young
men shonld be so unwise as to go after
the young women; if they would only
stay at home, the yonng women would
come after them.

We have received letters from sever
al persons, both in the ministry and

a wish to aid us in the liquidation of
the remaining liabilities that exist
against the Publishing House, with
the request that we so modify onr Six

member of the Chnrch an opportunity
to lend a helping hand, and thus re

It is certainly desirab.e to accom

been already effected, no one can hesi
tate to believe that a united effort on
tbs part of the Church will entirely re

time specified.
We have made a carefnl calculation,
and submit the following propositions
to the Ohor'ch, which, if accepted be
tween this date and the first of Jufy,
will entirely relieve us. We earnestly
ask their acceptance;
100 persons to purchase each $60

100 persons to purchase each $50

150 persons to purchasa each $40

Our brethren who may aoeept any ‘of
