Hark I tbe voice of Jesus calling, “ Who will gj ami werk to-day? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves riway ?’’ Loud aud long the Master calleth ; Rich rewards He offers free; Who will answer, gladly saying, “ Here am I: send me, send me ”? If you cannot cross tbe ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer— You can help them at your dooh If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow’s mite; Aod the least you gire to Jesus Will be precious in His sight. If you cannot speak like angels— If you cannot preach like Puul— You can tell tbe InVe of Jestis— You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse tbe wicked With tbe judgment’s dread hliirhls, You can lead the little children To the Saviour’s waiting artos! Let note hear you idly saying, “ There is nothing I can do,” While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the lask He gives yon, gladly ; Let His work your pleasure be : Answer quickly, when He calleth, “ Here am I: send me, send me.” Written for the Gwinnett Atlas. The Parents’ Jewel. It was a lovely day in May< when all nature seemed to invite one without to inhale the balmy air, that a young girl of sixteen, yielding’ to the delicious influence of the season, selected a favorite author, and sought the shady, and quiet retreat of a small summer house, where she could commune, undisturbed, with the volume which she had brought with her to pc ruse. t usie Crayton Wits the idol of the household —the object on wh m the fond hope- of both parents were bestowed. With what zealous eyes had they watched her early childho d, atld how- untiringly labored to improve her young mind, with proper and useful impressions, which might never he erased, but which might prove a shield of defense in the hour of temptation, should that hour ever come. It was a pleasant duty for Mrs Crayton—the sacred task of teach ing her daughter, and of pointing out to her the path of duty, in which 6he should walk. Sncli pure and eminent charac ters as Ilaunali Moore, Mrs. Sher wood and others were models for her imitation. Day after day, and year after year, had the loving mother en deavored to impart to her daugh ter more attractive graces and sweeter charms, than Could be re ceiVed from the gay World of fashion. Nor were her efforts fruitless. Among the many beautiful girls of M , Susie Crayton was ♦he chief object of admiration, i who won every heart which came within the sphere of her influence. Hers was not a mere external beauty, with a pretty face, fine eyes, and a set of white, pearly teeth —a warm heart, full of noble and generous impulses, and gush ing in love; and kindly deeds to her fellott beings—a heart attuned to sympathy, with a mind polished and filled with valuable informa tion ; these were Susie’s accom plishments, which reudefed her beautitul, and the object of so much regard. She was also a sweet performer on the harp, and her touch gave forth a geutle melody, which went directly to the hearts of her listeners, like the soft notes of the Julian lyre. Susie Craytou was the child of wealth, and every desire of her heart had always been gratified, i Life to her was a perpetual scene lof sunshine, and she heard no (“ WHAT IS IT BUT A MAP OF BUSY LIFE ? ”) sounds, save the sweet notes of birds, as they warbled their goti tie strains of melody through the groves and the green meadows. To Susie all nature was but a bright panorama, embellished by the pencil of tbe great Artist, with majestic mouritains—with loveiy streams, chanting music ad they hurried on their way to be lost in the great Ocean. In sitch a beautiful world, so full oF the melody of birds, of ihe delicious perfume of flowerS, with kind friends to cheer us by their smiles, how Can one be unhappy, sad, arid despondent! As if the sun never shone to gladden our llbitrtS; as if there were no flow ers to refresh us by their fra grance; no grand mountains, noi peaceful Valleys, nor luxuriant forests, nor splendid landscapes to vary the monotony of the scene! How can one be gloomy, when all around is so joyous, and a thou sand tongues were offering up thanksgivings to the Bountiful Benefactor ! Pious reflections were there, which filled tlie mind of the gentle girl, and which influenced all her actions. She had never known sorrow from her own ex perience, yet she knew how to con sole—and who could tell how many were the children of poverty, into whose hearts she had sent sun shine. But the scene changes— fortune is fickle! Only two years have winged their flight, but what changes have taken place in the quiet little village of M ? Mr. Crayton is dead; died a bankrupt, and left his family in a destitute condition. His fine residence, with all his real estate, was seized for debt, and Mrs. Crayton and her daugh ter; with heavy hearts, took leave Of their dear and much loved home—once so happy and bright, in days of prosperity—for an liiimble and obscure cottage, in a lonely part of tlid village. The voices and merry laugll of friends are never heard now, with in the walls of that little and ob scure cottage on the hill; and the hearts < f a sad and afflicted Widow and orphan daughter are never made glad now, as in days of yore, by social converse. All— all have fled with the glittering pomp, purchased by wealth. The birds sing as sweetly as j ever they did in the groves and i meadows; the sun shines as bright, and the voice of nature is not mute—and to the orphan girl that voice Still speaks to her sorrowing heart, but in gentle accents— whispering the solemn words of j Inspiration, “vanity, vanity; all j is vanity. Alas! She had turned a deaf ear to its whisperings, only to wake too soon, and to find that everything was indeed illu sive and full of deceit! That thp ; dearest friends were only friends i iu prosperity, who cared no more for a poor orphan girl, now home less, and bowed down by sorrow and poverty. Ah! It was a bitter lesson— this first lesson Horn the experi ence of life, which the tender girl had how to learn. ‘‘ But it is well she murmured.” that I should learn it, and that I should drink the bitter cup its dregs. It might have proved my ruin; but the bright and gaudy colors to the picture of life, which so allured me, and so charmed my senses by its brilliant and empty baubles, have all melted away, and left me j alone with the reality. Never again will 1 yield to the deceitful charm! It was a lovely night, as Mrs. I Crayton and her daughter sat iu I the little verandah of their hum ble home. The moon was full, clothing every object in a robe of silvery light, while the mournful notes of the whippoorwill sounded clear and shrill upoti the night air. As they sat and looked out upon the scene before them, both were silent alii busy with the thoughts df the past. “Dear mother!’’ eiclaimeu Susie, as if divining the theme of her mother's thoughts. “This will not always be our home. You know I Can teach; and in a few years tfe Will be able to leave M and to purchase a little home where we can once more be contented. I have already spokert for a situation in a school, and will know the result in a few days. So be cheerful, dear mother, and do not give way to despondency and to gloom! ” “ My precious child ! ” was the response. “ How can I let you go away, to toil and struggle for me?—you who have never known sdrroW nor grief, nor any carel— How 1 have prayed to our Heaven ly Father, that He might spare you those bitter trials; y et, if it must be, I trust lie will sustain you through the ordeal, and ena ble you to triumph.” ‘ Have you forgotten, dear mother,” said Susie, “your early lessons to your daughter—never to be ashamed of work, ashamed of the poor, nor ashamed to do good? Thanks to you, my dear mother, • 1 have none of these small vices! ’ If wealth tills me with pride so as to make me scorn the poor, then I have no desire to bo wealthier than 1 am now.— Poverty is no disgrace, dear moth er. There are many noble spirits, pining away in solitude —shut out by this cruel barrier—who would become, if allowed a chance, bright and useful ornaments to society. Oh! when will the world cease to persecute the pc’e’r —cease adding fresh grief to their already over flowing cups of bitterness?” “ My dear daughter,” ejaculated Mrs. Crayton, “ you are, indeed, a JeWel—So noble, and so different from y filing ladies of yotrr owe age. You are correct in your views; a bright path lies before you—if not one of worldly honor —one in which you will have the approving smiles of conscience, and the sweet satisfaction that you are doing your duty, dud at the same time ministering to the wants of the needy.” A iew days after this conversa tion between Mrs. Crayton and her daughter, a gentleman Ctllled at tlifi little cottage on the hill. He de sired to see Miss Susie Crayton a few minutes alone. The gentleman proved to be Mr. Browning, one of the trustees of the school, of which she had j applied for teacher. “He had j the pleasure,” he said, of inform ing Miss Crayton that she had been unanimously elected teacher, with a salary of 700 dollars; and j they desired tha‘, she would enter ! upon her duties one week from that time, lie further stated, that Mrs. Browning was in delicate health, and would be glad to se cure the services of Mrs. Crayton no a kind of superintendent in the household, with a salary of 500 dollars. Such was the purport of j Mr. Browning’s mission to that humble cottage on the hill. Once more did the hearts of the widow and her daughter throb with bright anticipations for the future. Grateful emotions, too, filled their hearts towards their kind benefactors. Six years have passed, and Mrs, Crayton is now the wealthy Mrs. Browning, and Susie has become the wile of a prominent member of Congress. But she is the same gentle Susie still —the same prince less Jewel, doing good and speak ing words of consolation and sympathy wherever she can find ! a heart depressed by sorrow.

Uncle Samuel. m• • m Caution To Liquor Sellers. — A few days ago; at North Adams, Mass.; tlie StUtb UottstaMe seized ajar df rum and arrested the par ty in whose possession it was found, for selling intoxicating li quor. At the examination before the District Judge he swore and testified that lie had seized tlie liquor, aud made a detailed state ment of the facts. lion, bhepnrd Thayer, attorney for the prisoner, asked liitil it he knew it was liquor. He replied, “ Yes, it was rum.”— lie was then asked how he knetv it was rum, and lie replied that he drank s. me of it. The pri soner, who was a woman, was then culled as a witness in her own behalf, when the following questions and answers were put and received : Q. Did you have any liquor in your house when the State Con stable called there? A. Yes— I had some iu ajar. 1 1 llow long have you had it? A. About six months. Q. Did you have it to sell? A. Oh, no. 1 don’t sell liquor. Q. What did you have this rum for? A. I kept it to wash the baby. Q. Had you ever washed the baby in this rum? A 0, yes, olten! I used to turn somoout in a dish, wash the baby in it, and then turn it back in the jar again. Q Do you mean to say that tills was the same liquor of which the State Constable drank? A. The very same. There was great laughter in the court, and the State Constable de clared lie would seize no more liquor that was kept in a jar. He is about the only man in North Adams that will take offence if yon ask him to take a drink. Death or Da.

Why do you ask?” “Oh, nothing in particular; onty / thought if you shook so had, I’d like to stand by and see if you wouldn’t shake the five dollars out of your pocket which you have owed me so long.” (In one of the late terrible hot days, a little boy of three years and a half, who was perspiring very freely, tan in (0 his mother, saying, “Oh, ffiamma, l’s leaking all oter!” Tlie same little fellow, on another occa sion, had the misfortune to cut his finger.
