THE CHILDRENS COLUMN.
Let Us Help One Another.
[The following quaint lines convey a
beautiful moral, teaching us that there is
no sphere or circumstance in life in which
we cannot render each other “ mutual as
sistance ” :]
A man, very lame, was a little to blame
To stray far away from his humble abode ;
Hot, thirsty, bemired, and heartily tired,
He laid himself down in the road.
While thus he reclined, a man that was blind
Came by and entreated his aid:
M Deprived of my sight, unassisted to night,
I shall not reach my home. I’m afraid.”
“ Intelligence give of the place where you live,”
Said the cripple; “ perhaps I may know it:
In my road it may be, and if you'll carry ntc f
It will give me much pleasure to show' it.
Great strength you have got, which, alas! I have
not
In my legs, so fatigued every nerve is—
For the use of your back, for the eyes which
you lack,
My pair shall be much at your service.”
Said the poor blind man, “What a wonderful
plan,
Pray get on my shoulders, good brother;
I see all mankind, il they are but inclined,
May constantly help one another.”
Little by Little.
Do my dear young friends ever think how
almost all that is good comes to us ? Did
you ever see a farmer planting ami sowing?
Down in the moist earth goes the seed,
grain by grain, little by little. God sees
the farmer at his work, and knows full well
that he has done what he could; so He
kindly sends the gentle rain, drop by drop;
and not one of these little drops ever for
gets its errand —the pleasant errand upon j
which the good God sent it to the earth. —
“ I have found you out,” says the rain drop j
to the tiny grain of wheat: “though youj
are dead and in your grave, God has sent
me to raise you up.” Well, there is noth- j
ing impossible with Him ; so when the rain |
drop has done its errand, a spark of life,
shoots out from the very heart of the tiny I
grain which makes its way out of the tomb,;
and stands, a single blade, in the warm sun-j
light. That is nobly done; and if the great
God pleased, He could make that little,
blade strong and fruitful in a single mo j
ment. Does He do this ] No. Little by
little does the stalk wax strung; and its !
leaves grow slowly, leaf by leaf.
Ia it not so with every thing that is good ?;
Should we like another way better ? Tm- :
patience would.
It is only the other day 1 heai’d a lit-;
tie girl say, “1 am tire#, tired, tired!—
Here is a whole stocking to knit, stitch by ;
stitch! It will never be done.”
“ But was not this one knit stitch by
stitch?” 1 asked, taking a long one from
her basket, and holding it up.
“ Yes.”
“ Well, this is done.” I
The little girl was counting instead of
knitting her stitches. No wonder that she
was tired.
Did you ever see a mason building a
house of brick ? “ Poor man ! ” Impatiencej
would say, “ what an undertaking—to start
from the earth, and go so far towards the
sky, brick by brick ! ” Oh no, sir. Peo
ple can get nearer the sky than that, and
upon the same principle, too, only we call
it step by step. Some little children know
that the world has wandered far away from
God. He meant that we should be happy ;
but mankind have chosen the path of diso
bedience and misery, and so lost their w >y
—I mean the way back to holiness and
to peace. You know who came to be our
way, so that we might not be forever lost.
But even in this way we have to go step by
step. Children should know this,-so as not
to be diecouragcd when they are trying to
be good. Indeed, this necessity of doing
things little by little, step by step, drop by
drop, need be no discouragement. Listen
now, and see if you do not. hear a voice
saying, “Try, try, try.” Who ever saw
a patient, persevering person try, and not
succeed at last? So then, step by step,
which is God’s way, must he*the best way.
Let us see that we do every day what
we can Any little boy or girl who, in
looking buck upon the day gone by, can
say, “ i have done one thing well,” rnay be
happy with the thought that they have ta
ken one step in the way of wisdom and
virtue. But remember one thing, dear lit
tle friend, the buried grain of wheat would
uever start into life if God did not send it
help; and it is by the same help that it in
creases day by day. As the little raindrop:
—God’s beautiful messenger—descends In
to its tomb, so in the darkness and death of
sin the Holy Spirit comes to us. If He
breathe upon our hearts, we five to do good.
Let us obey this Spirit, and all good will
be ours at last, though we gain it little by
little.
Tbe Schoolmaster** Promise.
A. correspondent tells the following an
ecdote of Ins old schoolmaster, “old Has
*' Boys,” said be, smilingly, one day.
What’s up, thought we, and we were all
attention, it was like a sun peep through
a heavy storm-cloud when “old Haskins”
smiled, and the phenomenon was unac
countable.
“ Boys,” said he, “I am about to bargain
with you for good behavior,” (a change of
tactic*, verily.) “ I desire that you will
conduct yourselves with decorum for one
week, and I will premise to show you a cu
riosity—what no man ever saw ; and, hav
ing shown it you, what no man will ever
see again.”
** )r e, air! ” —“ Agreed ! ” —** f *yi, sir I” j
and various other expressions of acquiea j
cence came from every quarter of the]
room j and, as a preface to the new state
of thing*, the school was dismissed at an
esrly hour, leaving the boy* to gaze into
each othor’e eyes in astdnishmant, a* if to
v ine in eaoh other’* intution tli* anwer '
XWM ASf© •&©*IM,
to the riddle which had stolen upon them
as a pleasant dream.
An anxious week followed —a week ol
curiosity, bewilderment, hope and pleasure
in embryo. Out of school it was all the
talk—“ what no man shall ever see again !”
—not even the terrible author of the com
promise. W r hat could it be ?
Another and another day, until at last
the identical named one dawned upon the
gladdened young hearts.
Nine o’clock came—every urchin was at
his post —books and slates all in readiness
for the day’s battle with the demon of dark
ness and ignorance—every task fully com
mitted to memory. Altogether, a very
charming state of affairs ! An active mind,
not wedded too closely to orthodox ideas,
would have divined at once the great ad
vantage of rewards and kindness over op
pression and cruelty. But our old tutor
was invincible. Unmake him? Never. —
You could not alter his plans an iota.
“Thxgle, tingle,” sounded the little
bell —that bell had a voice as well as a
tongue. Boys all attention, eyes, ears,
mouths agape—momentous epoch !
Old Haskins raised the lid of his desk,
and drew the wonderful thing forth —ad-
justed his ominous-looking spectacles
I astraddle his nasal projection, and proceed
ed to the solemn ceremony.
“ Attention, school! ” roared the tutor.
A single order was all that was necessa
ry—you might have heard a pin drop.
“The hour has at length arrived ; behold
lin my upraised fingers a single almond,”
j (terrible suspense !) “In this almond is a
| kernel ” —(ceremoniously breaks the shell
jand exposes the tiny thing.) Then opening
j his capacious jaws, exposing an internal ar
! ray of decaying ivory and raw flesh, that
reminded us of the mouth of a Bengal ti
ger—lie thrust in the mysterious kernel,
crushed and swallowed it.
“ Boys,” exclaimed he, with great em
phasis, “boys, you will never—l will never
—no man will ever—see that kernel again !
To your lessons, you rascals, eve-y dog of
you! ”
HOUSE KEEPERS’ COLUMN.
Tallow Candles equal to Star.
Messrs. Editors: —It may be of some in- j
terest to your numerous readers to know!
that, with not a cent of additional expense, 1
tallow candles can be made fully equal ini
point of merit to the common star candle.
To two pounds of tallow add one teacup
ful of good strong ley from wood ashes,
and simmer over a slov fire, when a greasy
scum will float on top; skim this off for
making soap, (it is very near soap already,)
as long as it continues to rise. Then
mould your candles as usual, making the
wicks a little smaller, and you have a pure,
hard tallow candle, worth knowing how to
make, and one that burns as long and gives
a light equal to sperm. The chemistry de
monstrates itself. An ounce or two of
beeswax will make the candle some harder,
and steeping the wicks in spirits turpentine
will make it burn some brighter. 1 write
with one before me.
Hints for Housekeeper*.
If the covers of chairs and sofas are dir
ty, they may be cleansed without being re
moved, by first washing them over with
warm water and soap, rubbing over them
with a flannel; then, before they are dry,
sponge them over with a strong solution of
salt and water, in which a small quantity
of gall has been mixed. The windows of
the room should be opened, so as to secure
a perfect drying, and the colors and fresh
ness ol the articles will be restored. Floor
cloths may be cleaned with a mixture of
magnesia, only milk-warm, followed by
warm water, in the same manner that car
pets are cleaned. They should be rubbed
with a dry flannel till nearly dry, then
again wet over with a sponge dipped in
milk, and immediately dried and rubbed
with flannel till the polish is restored.—
This is a process much better than rubbing
the cloth with wax, which leaves it sticky
and liable to retain dust and dirt for a long
time. Very hot water should never be
used in cleaning floor cloths, as it brings off
the paint. Gleaning mirrors and polished
steel articles is an easy operation when un
derstood. The greatest care should be ta
ken in cleaning a mirror, to use only the
softest articles, lest the glass should be
scratched. It should first be dusted with a
feather brush, then wash over with a spongr
dipped in spirits to remove the fly spots;
after this it should be dusted with the pow
der blue In a thin muslin bag, and finally
polished with an oiled silk handkerchief.—
Polished steel articles, if rubbed every
morning with leather, will never become
dull and rusty ; but if rust has been suffer
ed to gather, it must be immediately re
moved by covering the steel with sweet oil,
and sprinkle with finely powdered, unslack
ed lime, and rub it in with polished leather.
Oranges ! Jelly.
Take a dozen of the smallest sized oran
ges; boil them in three changes of water,
until a straw will easily penetrate the skin;
take half a pou.id of white sugar for each
pound of oranges, and for eac‘: pound of
sugar a small teacup of water; when it is
all dissolved, set it over a gentle fire, put
in the oranges, cover them, and let them
boil gently ; when the fruit looks clear,
take the oranges up, cut them half way
down in quarters, or cut them entirely
; through; put to the syrup half an ounce
of isinglass dissolved in a little hot water,
give it one boil, then take some of it into
a saucer; if it is not as thick as you wish,
boil it a short time longer, put the oranges
s into a deep glass dish, and turn the jelly
[over them. Apple jelly may be used in
stead of isinglass. Lemons may be done
in this manner. This is a highly ornamen
tal dish, and may be made the day before
it ts wanted. The jelly may be made firm,
and the oranges sliced; put an ounce of
isinglass to a quart of syrup. Put the jeh
ly an inch deep in the mould ; when it is
cold, lay in slices of the preserved orange ;
put more jelly in; when that is cold, put
on more slices; ind so continue until the
mould is full. When wanted, dip the
mould for an instant in hot water, then turn
it out on a flat glass dish.
Worth Knowing.
In the present scarcity of quinine, it is
worth knowing that the berry of the com
mon dogwood will break fevers as success
fully as quinine. We know four planta
tions where they used it successfully last
summer. One pill is a dcise. The season
is now at hand to collect and dry them for
use. They will prove invaluable at home
and in the hospitals of our soldiers.
THE SOLDIERS’ COLUMN.
Oeserters.
A good soldier would lather die a thou
sand deaths than basely, ignominiously
perjure his own soul, desort his post, and
betray his cause.
Ah me ! it makes one’s soul weep to
think of how many there are all through
our communities, and in out armies, who
once took upon themselves the vows of re
ligion, enlisted in the sacred service of
j Christ, promised before men and angels
that they would be faithful until death —
who have deserted, have violated their sol
emn covenants, have ceased fighting the
good fight of faith, have gone over to its
spiritual enemies, have betrayed the good
eause ! They no longer pray. They neg
lect the Bible and all means of grace. They
join hands with the enemies of Jesus, and
betray him as really as Judas did. Are
they not spiritual traitors? Is there not
double guilt on their souls? Do l address
one of such ? Oh, friend, 1 beseech you, at
once, go alone and bow your sou! before
God. Confess your guilt. Beg Him to
give you deep and thorough repentance. —
Implore Him to pardon the past, and take
you again into His favor and sen ice.—
Blessed be His name, He will do so ! He
waits for your return even as the father
waited for the return of his prodigal son.
He will forgive you graciously, and love
you freely, and, again give you a place
among His faithful soldiers. But rest as
sured :hat, if' you refuse, you shall not, by
any possibility, be aide to say, when your
dying time comes, “l have fought a good
fight.”
The Front Rank.
A soldier who lay sick in the College
Hospital at Columbia, 8. C, was heard re
peatedly to mutter, in the delirium of fe
ver, “Put me in the front rank, where 1
can do my duty well.” We mention this
incident, not merely as an illustration, beau
tiful as it is, of the spirit which animates
our patriotic soldiery, but as an example
for the Christian soldier. It, is to be feared
that too many professed Christians, like the
fanciful you#g gentlemen who hang, in sol
dier’s uniform, around the offices of the
quartermaster and commissary, are satis
fied with positions in “ the sacramental
host of God’s elect,” which involve neither
toil nor danger. While eager enough to
appear on parade, or skulk in places of se
curity, they shrink from the arduous duties
of the camp, and the dangers of the field
lof conflict. They are not ambitious to oc
cupy the front rank and do their duty well.
This ought not to be so. As we cannot
suppress our contempt for the able-bodied
young men who skulk in clerkships, which
might be occupied by their seniors unfit for
active service, and smoke their cigars in
| comfortable offices, while their countrymen
are pressing upon the enemy—so we have
little respect for the avowed soldier of the
Cross, who quietly reposes at home, in self
indulgence, while his brethren are storming
the outposts of Satan. Let it be the aim
of every Christian to occupy the position,
whatever it may be, where he can do his
duty well.
Cars or the Soldiers. —Gov. Vance,
of North Carolina, has seta noble example.
He is determined that the welfare of the
patriotic soldiery shall be attended to, and
employs his official authority to secure this
important result. He has appointed the
colonels of the militia regiments through
out the State as agents for the purchase and
collection of all such articles as can be
spared by the people, who, through their
respective captains, are ordered immediate
ly to canvass every county, and visit every
citizen in their beats for this purpose.—
In his address to the people, he makes the
following earnest appeal :
“And now, my countrymen and women,
if you have any thing to spare for the sol
dier, in his name I appeal to you for it.—
Do not let the speculator have it, though
he offer you enormous prices ; spurn him
from your door, and say to him that our
brave defenders have need for it, and shall
have it without passing through his greedy
fingers. Do not place yourselves among
the extortioners —they are the vilest and:
most cowardly of all our country’s enemies,,
ami when this war is ended and the people;
come to view the matter in its proper light,
you will find that the most detested tones
are more respected than they. When they
tempt you with higher prices than the State
offers, just think for a moment of the sol-j
dier and what he is doing for you. Re
member when you sit down by the bright
and glowing fire, that the soldier is sitting
upon the cold earth ; that in the wind which
is whistling so fearfully over your roof, on-;
Sy making you feel the more comfortable!
because it harms you not, he is shivering
in darkness on the dangerous outpost, or
shuddering through the dreary hours of his j
watch. Remember that when you come!
forth in the morning welt fed and warmly ‘
dad, leading your families toward the spotj
where the bletscd music of the Sabbath !
bells tells you of the peaceful worship of
the God of Peace, the sold er is going forth
at the same moment, perhaps, half fed, after
a night of shivering and suffering, to where
the roar of artillery and shout of battle an
nounce that he is to die, that your peace
and safety may be preserved. Oh, remem
ber these things, generous and patriotic
people, and give freely of your perishable
goods to those who are giving all that mor
tal man can give for your safety and your
rights.”
Thanksgiving. —A cotemporary very
truly observes that there is no duty per
haps in which Christians are more delin
quent than in the duty of thanksgiving.—
Enforced by express injunction, it is still
farther recommended by the examp’e of
angels, and of Christ, the Lord of angels.
If we possess His spirit, if we hope to
share their glory, should we not betake:
ourselves more frequently to the throne of
grace, with fervent, joyful confession of the
bounty which supplies us, and the love by
which we are crowned with. blessing!—
How Paul felt in this matter, his own lan
guage of exhortation informs us : “ Giving
thanks always for all things unto God and
the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.” Oh, if we remember our nothing
ness and ill-desert—how the least of the
Divine mercies transcend our merits—how
the greatest nevertheless come showering j
down along our path through life—shall
we not feel that this is but our reasonable
service ? Shall we not feel, that though
like the Jews, we rehearse a hundred ben
edictions every day, they can not discharge
the debt of love we owe ; that language is
too poor to utter it—that it must pass un
uttered except as the soul, burning with
quenchless flames ofgratitude, speaks with
out, voice to God. and makes its very self
as it were a song of thanksgiving.
Christian brother, we have mourned and
murmured enough over these evils of war.
Even publicans and sinners give thanks in
times of peace and prosperity. It remains
for those who “ have been with Jesus,” —
for those who have Jesus with them, to
illustrate the diviner power of faith and
love, and “ give thanks always for all
things” when strife shakes theland,and want
and sorrow shake the soul. Let others, if
they will, gaze only at the cloud and shrink
and cower beneath it. Bo ours the vrisdom
that looks beyond it to the sun—the trium
phant trust that rises above it to the light
without a shadow and the day without an
end —in fine, the thanksgiving which ob
tains, for recompense, the gift of God’s un
broken peace.
A Glorious Thing. —While the battle
of Williamsburg was raging, and one of
our chaplains was standing by his regi
ment, encouraging the men to their duty, a
soldier passed by him, and taking him by
the hand, he said to the chaplain, his face
radiant with the presence of God, “ It is a
glorious thing to be a Christian.” The
time, the occasion and circumstances under
which this remark was made, leave an in
dellible impression. There was a man, in
the midst of bullets, wearing a countenance
of perfect peace and happiness. How it il
lustrates the power of divine grace, that
when grace is most needed, then it is giv
en ! How it encourages us to hold on to;
the integrity of our Christian profession!
The Difference. —ln one of the naval
battles fought by Admiral Nelson, a Chris
tian sailor bad his left leg carried away by
a cannon ball. When in after years he
hobbled about upon his crutch, and came
in contact with numerous persons who sym
pathized with him at his loss, he tells us
1 that the kind of sympathy which they sev
jernlly offered, was a correct index to Him
|of their real characters. Those who were
I naturally humane, but who had no piety,
would say, “What a pity that you lost
your leg !” But when a sincere, confiding
; brother or sister in Christ accosted him,
.the explanation was, “What a mercy that
your other leg was not shot away too ! ”
The end of all meditation is to learn more
| of God, and to become more like Him ; not
|to stand still, or merely lament our defi
ciency, but to stir us up in earnest to re
new the fight, in the strength of God, in
hourly consciousness of the presence of
Christ, and in the power of His Holy Spirit
and Hi* Holy W oid.
He who does no good, gets none. He
who cares not for others, will soon find that
others will not care for him. As he lives
to himself so he will die to himself, and
nobody will miss him, or be sorry that he !
is gone.
No triumphs are comparable to those of
piety—no trophies so magnificent and du-!
rableas those which victorious faith erect-1
eth ; they do far surpass the most famous ;
achievements of pagan heroes.
Two Wonders. —Two things are matter
iof daily astonishment to me—the readiness
! of Christ to come from heaven to earth for
me, and my backwardness to rise from
'earth to heaven for him.
