Jamil*} (6Mt.
lifted up.
BT ISABEL F. LEWES.
Little Willie, mild and patient,
Sunny-haired and azure-eyed, .
In the twilight’s mellow gloaming
Thoughtful sat, my chair beside.
On his knee a little Bible,
Grandma’s gift to him that day;
lie had read till daylight fading
Bade him put the book away.
Then he nestled close beside me,
Laid in mine his little hand,
Gazing outward with expression
I could scarcely.understand:
‘•Tell uie,” said he, ‘•mamma, will you,
What our Saviour meant wheu he
Said, •!. if I be lifted up,
Will then draw all men unto me’?”
And I said, that, by this symbol,
Christ, their Lord, would signify,
That, upon the cross uplifted,
lie ill agony must die;
And when, in the coming future,
All His sorrows should be heard,
Men would then be brought into him,
By the tenderest feelings stirred.
One short month, —again at night-fall
Clouds of crimson turned to gray!
Lonely sat I by the fireside,
While my thoughts went far away.
Vacant was the chair beside me,
Hushed the voice so low and sw^t,
Missed the gentle hand’s soft pressure,
And the sound of little feet.
Upward reaching, through the darkness,
Yearningly I sought my boy:
Earth seemed full of pain and sorrow,
' Heaven alone held peace and joy.
Suddenly a ray of firelight,
As imbued with heavenly grace,
Fell upon a little picture,
Made alive my darling’s facQ.
While I gazed as one enraptured,
Moving lips 1 seemed to see,
Heard his voice: ‘‘lf I be lifted
Up, I will draw you to 1 me.”
Now anew and richer meaning
Jesus’ words for me possessed:
By our love for the departed
Upward lifted, find we rest.
Then before that picture bending,
Laid I all my burdens down;
Saw how tenderly the Father
Os my cross would weave a crown.
Through my soul this glad evangel
Surgeth like the rolling sea,
“Ever nearer, nearer heaven,
Darling Willie, leadeth me.”
Old and New for May.
Little Words.
It is a true story. I’ll say that, to be
gin with, because I know almost all the
boys and girls who read the children’s
column will like it so much better. It is
true, every word, for the man told it to
me himself. It happened to him when
he was a little boy, seven years old.
His name was Edward. I won’t tell
you his last name, because he is alive now,
and he might not like to have me, though
he gave me permission to tell you the
story.
The school-mistress called him to her
one night, just after the school was dis
missed, and said to him: “Eddy, here are
three cents that belong to your father.
He paid me some money yesterday, and
we made a mistake in reckoning, so I got
too much. I found it out when I got
home, and you may give it to him. Be
careful not to lose it. Have you a pocket?”
What boy seven years old ever got
along without a pocket; unless, perhaps,
he hadn’t any mother? Eddy had a kind
mother, so of course he had a pocket. He
liked to carry money in his pocket. He
went along jingling the three great red
coppers —that was before the three-cent
pieces or scrip were thought of, and they
were big old fashioned cents, and made a
pretty loud jingle.
Eddy had quite a long walk to school,
and there was only one scholar went his
way. That was Hattie C , but I
suppose I mustn’t tell you her last name
either. It wouldn’t be quite fair, because
perhaps she has repented for all her child
ish misdeeds long ago, and come to be
really a good woman. I’m sure I hope
she has. Well, Eddy and Hattie walked
along home that night as usual, and Eddy
kept jingliDg his three cents in his pocket
as he went.
“Did your father know that the mis
tress was going to send him those three
cents?” asked Hattie, after a while.
“No, he didn’t,” said Eddy, “for he
didn’t know there was any mistake.”
“Then he never would know about it,
if the teacher hadn’t sent it.”
“I guess not,” said Eddy.
Then they walked a little way without
saying- any thing. Naughty, wicked
thoughts were crowding into Hatty’s
mind. Perhaps Satan, or some of his
bad messengers, was whispering to her.
And she didn’t resist them. So the next
words were:
“Then if you never give them to him,
he wouldn’t know any thing about it.”
Eddy’s great handsome eyes opened to
their widest extent at this, but after a
minute (I suppose the evil angel put a
whisper in his ear too) he said, “No, I
guess he wouldn’t. But what should we
do with them ?”
“Go down to the village and get some
candy when we have a good chance. We
wouldn’t go now, right off, for fear some
body might ask about the money. But
we can hide it, and then if anybody asks
about it, you can make believe you for
got to give it to him. And if they don’t
ask about it, some day you and I will go
to town and have a treat with it.” Eddy
liked candy, and he forgot in a minute
what a good, kind, dear father he was go
ing to cheat and rob. He listened only
to the words of the tempter, and shut his
ears to a little voice inside that was try
ing to be heard.
They hid the three cents under an old
half rotten log, and Eddy went home and
ate his supper of bread and milk, and
helped his father to do the chores, and
went to bed. I can’t think he felt very
easy or happy. I know he didn t.
No inquiry was made about the money,
and every day when Eddy and Hatty went
to school they lifted the end of the log and
looked under it, and there were the three
cents all safe.
One day they saw a big dog scratching
and pawing and shuffing around the log.
They were afraid that meant mischief to
their hidden treasure, and they took it
out and sought for anew hiding-place.
This time they put it into the end of a hol
low rail. And they concluded to go next
day and spend it. It was so long, that no
questions would be asked now, they felt
sure.
So the next morning instead of going
to school, they walked to the village store
—:it was about three miles—and there
bought two sticks of candy and a lemon
drop, as large and as round as a big wal
nut, and striped red and white.
But how to divide it. Neither of them
possessed a knife. Eddy proposed that
they both take hold with their teeth and
bite, and see who would get the biggest
half.
So they both got their teeth fast on the
lemon drop, and then Eddy said, “Are
you ready V”
He could not say it plainly, because his
teeth were on the lemon drop, and his
nose was flattened against Hatty’s face.
Hatty opened her mouth to say “Yes,”
and just then Eddy bit and got the whole
of the lemon drop.
Then he laughed as gleefully as if he
wasn’t a little thief and truant from school
besides, for you see conscience was silent,
because it would it would have been of no
use to speak now.
But Eddy was a generous boy, so he
gave up half the lemon drop to Hatty, af
ter all, and they ate it together.
They got hack too soon, and had to
wait in the woods awhile, so as to get
home abou; the usual time. The candy
was all gone, and they didn’t feel like
play, and the time seemed long. But at
last they went home.
And now conscience wouldn’t keep quiet
any longer. I don’t know how it was with
Hatty; she was ten years old and ought
to have a conscience that could speak
pretty loud; but I know Eddy didn’t feel
a bit happy. He had always been very
fond of his father, following him about as
he worked. But now he kept out of his
way all he could. He didn’t come to sit
on his knee for a pleasant little talk be
fore going to bed.
Two or three days passed, and Eddy
was beginning to forget about his naught
iness, and to follow his father about and
to talk to him as usual, when one day a
man who lived in the village came to the
house.
Eddy did not remember having seen
him any where, but just as he was going
away he put his hand on the little boy’s
head,and said, “Is this your boy Mr. ?
I saw him at the store the other day, but
I didn’t know it was your boy.”
So just in one minute all had come out.
Eddy’s father looked at him, and Eddy’s
face became very red. Not a word was
spoken, however, till the gentleman was
gone.
Then the father sat down on a log in
the yard, and said, “What is this my boy ?
Were you at the store the other day ?”
And Eddy standing between his father’s
knees, with his arras around him, sobbed
out the whole shameful story.
His father listened to the end, without,
a word, and then the great tears began to
roll down his cheeks, and after a little si
lence he said, in a voice that was all trem
bling and broken:
“I don’t care any thing about the three
cents. The hardest of it is, that I can’t
trust my boy!”
Those few words cut Eddy to the heart
and made him feel worse than the hardest
whipping would have done.
Eddy’s father died two years after,
when he was nine years old. He says he
has wept many a time even since he be
came a man, as he thought of those bro
ken words : “ The hardest of it is, that I
can’t trust my boy.”—Congregationalism

Drunkenness is a Sin.
When we acknowledge that intemper
ance is a disease, let us not forget the
fact that it is also a sin. No man is
forced to be a drunkard; he drinks to
excess with his eyes open, with his hands
free, with his conscience upbraiding him
until he drowns it in the bowl. He volun
tarily surrenders his reason, his taste, his
judgment, his prosperity, his health, his
character, and his conscience on the altar
of appetite; and is not that a sin? He
knows that his habits of indulgence will
disqualify him for the duties of child,
husband, parent, and citizen, and while
they deaden the faculties which should
elevate him above the dumb beast, they
intensify and quicken all the animal and
brutal instincts of degraded humanity;
and is not that a sin?
He is well aware that the use of intox
icating liquors may inspire him with self
ish motives, and that he may, in a fit of
frenzy commit a crime which will do great
injury to innocent and unoffending per
sons, depriving them of their property,
or infringing upon their rights, or injur
ing their persons; and is not that a sin?
In these enlightened days, there surely
cannot be a drunkard even who is such a
dunce as not to know that the Bible de
clares that drunkenness is a sin, which
excludes the unrepentant from the king
dom of heaven. The drunkard sins
against himself, he sins against his neigh
bor, and he sins against God.
THE METHODIST ADVOCATE, MAY 24, 1871.
There is no o/cher vice which so vividly
gives its victi’jjs a foretaste of future pun
ishment as Intemperance. It brings upon
the drunkard the terrible penalty of de
lirium, tremens in this life, and uncovers
to bis sleepless eyes the pit to which he
hastens. The evils of his troubled im
agination are real devils to him; the hell
he foresees with his diseased vision is not
in his eyes a theatrical sham on this can
vass, but a real hell, and he recoils from
it in horror and despair. Is it not a sin
for a human being, made a little lower
than the angels, to bring himself to suoh
a wretched condition ? He was designed
to be happy in this life and in the life to
come; but he knowingly drinks, and
makes himself the most miserable being
on the face of the earth; and that is a
sin which can only be washed out by the
tears of repentance and reform.—Tem
perance Advocate.
The Medical and Surgical Reporter
states that long befors the temperance re
form became prominent in America, a
missionary from the West Indies, sought
Medical advice from the famous Dr. Rush,
and when a very unpalatable medicine
was prescribed, the patient asked if he
could not use a little “good old Jamica”
with it.
“ No, air /” the doctor decidedly replied.
“Why, sir, what harm will it do ?’’ de
manded the West Indian.
“What harm will it do?” continued Dr.
Rush; “I am determined no man shall
rise on the day of judgment and say, ‘Dr.
Rush made mo a drunkard!’”
If Dr. Rush feared to meet a throng of
liquor-drinking patients in the day of
judgment, what will be the condition of
those doctors who prescripe spirituous liq
ors for almost every disease, or those
nostrom-makers who sell thousands of
barrels of ardent spirits under the form
of patent medicines; or of those religious
editors whose papers advertise these mix
tures far and wide, and thus lure thou
sands of the unwary to intemperance and
perdition ?
Whisky. —ln Holden, Miss., a young
man by the name of Barney Young, shot
and killed his wife, to whom he had been
married but a few months, and then killed
himself. Cause—whisky. The exchange
from which we have these facts, says,
within three years seven similar deaths
have occurred in Holden, from the same
cause.
Agriculture.
A Plain Yankee Talk to Southern
Farmers.
The other day a Northern man, in the
hearing of the writer, let himself loose
upon us after this fashion:
“It seems to me that your people in the
cotton-growing States manage somewhat
strangely. You spend half of the Spring
and all Summer in fighting and destroy
ing grass, and when you have succeeded
in destroying it all, you send clear way
down to the State of Maine and buy dried
grass at a cost of two cents per pound to
subsist your stock. Now, so pearly as I
can judge, your planters do not make
two cents a pound net on cotton at thir
teen cents in your market; and thus a
bale of Eastern hay on your plantation
will about offset a bale of cotton in the
pocket of the farmer.
“From what I know of Middle Geor
gia, I should say that you can beat Maine
out of sight making hay. Grass don’t
take a start in Maine till from the first to
the middle of June, and thus, before
grass begins to grow in Maine, you Geor
gians could stuff your barns so-full of
hay and clover, at a cost not exceeding
an eighth of a cent per pound, that you
might afford to ship hay to Maine, if the
Maine men would only consent to pay the
price for it which you pay.
“But if you will not raise hay, (which
to the extent at least of your own neces
sities you can raise more profitably than
cotton,) tell me, in the name of all good
sense, why you refuse to gather that grass
which comes in your corn-fields indige
nously after the crop is laid by and which
is much better for stock than the musty
and falsely-packed stuff which ordinarily
comes to your market.”
We have not yet framed our reply to
that Yankee. Will some of our readers
help us? It is, indeed, a case of diffi
culty.—Macon (Gba.) Telegraph.
The Front Yard.
The Vineland Weekly says: “How is
it about the front yard? Well, in the
first place, don’t crowd it with trees. —
Trees are all-important in their place.—
A few in front of the house add much to
its beauty, if they are judiciously disposed,
and give a grateful shade. But too many
of them make a forest, darken the house,
and destroy the cheery brightness of the
rooms.
“A few shrubs in your front yard are
an addition. If you are reduced to the
choice of having undesirable varieties or
none, of course it is wise to choose the
undesirable varieties. But scarcely any
body need want for beautiful shrubs.—
Have a grass-plat, by all means. Its size
may depend upon the size of your yard.
Even in the smallest yards there should,
as a rule, be a bit of grass. Then, if you
have no other place for flowers, grow
them in your front yard.
It is estimated that America, when her
productive power is fully developed, will
be able to feed four times as many per
sons as there are now on the face of the
earth.

DR. M’LANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THH CURB Off
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the edge of
the ribs, increase on pressure; sometimes
the pain is in the left side; the patient 19
rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder blade,
and it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for a
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is
affected with loss of appetite and sickness,
the bowels in general are costive, sometimes
alternative with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is gene
rally a considerable loss of memory, accom
panied with a painful sensation of having
left undone something which ought to have
been done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient complains
of weariness and debility; he is easily startled,
his feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the skin;
nis spirits are low; and although he is satis
fied that exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
remedy. Several of the above symptoms
attend the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet examination
of the body, after death, has shown the
liver to have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND F3VER.
Dr. M’Lane’s Liver Pills, in cases of
Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine,
are productive of the most happy results. No
better cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would advise
all who are afflicted with this disease to give
them A FAIR TRIAL.

THE BEREAN SERIES
FOR 1871.
EDITED BY J. B. VINCE NT, D. D.
I. The Sunday-School Journal.
Each number of the Journal contains twenty
four pages, eight of which will be devoted to
the Berean Lessons. Here superintendents and
teachers will find notes, questions, illustrations
pictorial and anecdotal—blackboard and
slate diagrams, directions for conducting Sun
day-school concerts, Berean Lesson reviews,
Berean drills in Sacred Geography, etc. The
Journal is furnished at 60 cents a year for a
single copy. Clubs of six and over, to one
address, 50 cents each.
11. The Lesson Leaves.
The Lesson Leaf—four pages a mouth—is
for scholars. These will contain Questions,
Scripture, Golden Topic, Golden Text, Hymns,
etc. To schools using the Journal, the Lesson
Leaves will be furnished at the rate of five
cents a scholar during the year: that is, a school
forwarding ten dollars will receive for the year
ten Sunday-School Journals and one hundred
Lesson Leaves each month. For six dollars
we will send, each month, six Sunday-School
Journals and sixty Lesson Leaves. [Additional
Lesson Leaves at the rate of eight dollars per
hundred.]
JII. The Leaf Cluster.
A help for the Infant Class.—Fifty leaves,
each 36x24 inches in size; illustrated with cuts;
bold, beautiful type; printed on paper of differ
ent colors. Price, #3. Will serve a class of
any size for a year. May be profitably used in
mission schools, and for general x-eview in all
schools.
The Picture Lesson Paper.
Designed for distribution to infant scholars.
Eight pages monthly. May be divided into
four papers, so that anew paper of two pages
may be distributed every Sabbath. The Picture
Lesson Paper may be used with or without the
Berean Series. Price, 25 cents a year.
Berean Question-Book.
Sometimes schools prefer the lessons in book
form. We have, therefore, prepared the Bereau
Question-Book, a little volume containing every
thing needed by the scholars—Scripture Topics,
Texts, Questions, Maps, etc. A rare and beau
tiful book. Those who use it will not need the
Lesson Leaf. Whether using Leaf or Book in
the class, the teacher will require The Sunday-
School Journal. Price, 16 cents; sls per
hundred.
