The crows in the distance called to each other in hoarse dis course. The trees stood in calm beau i t-y—the great giant trees, tall, pliant. graceful; the perfection of strength, 1 and. beauty.

On one side came forth the “Miss Pierces,” as they were called, I the Braces, Dr. Sheldon, Dr. Col. Talmadge, tall and stately. Judge j Gould, and multitudes of others. The 1 long street was full of people. The j first bell had rung. It was decorous for every one to be in his place by the time the toiling was over. Among 1 all these we made our way—kindly ;Apple—many of whom looked beiiig nautly forth upon us from Sunday bon nets, hut no one saying a word. The old musical bell up in the belfry was busy tolling. It was the only! thing that was allowed to work on Sunday—the bell and the minister.— That bell-rope was always an*object of desire and curiosity,'in our young days. It ran up into such dark and mysterious places. What there was up in those pokerish heights in the belfry tower we did not know, but something that made .our flesh creep. Once we ventured to' pull that rope.— It was a hold and venturous thing, we know. But a sorcery was on us. It come gently and easily to the hand.— We pulled again. “Dong! dong!” went the bell. The old sexton put his head out of the door, when on that particu lar morning service had begun, and said in a very solemn and low tone, '‘Boy! boy! 3011 liitle —-you!”and much more, I presume, but I did not w;ait for it, but cut round to the other door, and sat all Church time trem bling, and wondering whether he would tell “ni3 r pa,” and if he did, wliat he would sa3', and more especial ly what he would do. I called up-the probable interview. I had numerous precedents on which to found a possi- I hie experience, and afflicted one little ! soul all meeting time with needless [ punishment by the imagination 1 ■•But ordinarily-, wc escaped into the minister’s pew without special tempta tions. Imagine a bo}’ of eight years old, round as an apple, hearty -and healthy, an hour a;id a half in church ; with nothing to do. We looked at the galleries full-of boys and girls, and i wished we might go into the galleriest We looked at the ceiling, traced all i the cracks back and forth. We looked $t the dear old aunties all around the church, fanning themseh es with one hand and eating femiel seed or a bit of uried orange We gazed out of wiinjow high a wist&Njve on ®PyV; up and see the trees'ana horses and dogs that a- BOtnnl aroufid the church on Sunday. Gradually these died out, and we 'dropped asleep. Blessed liberty ! the child’s gospel. All trouble fled away-, for a half-hour's paradise was gained. But then an unusual thump on the pulpit Bible, and the ring and roar%f a voice under v fiHl excitement, that went on swelling like a trumpet, and that no j o*ne, not tse most could hea* without catching its I«eite'ment~wak edus, blushing and confused that we bad been asleep rn chfr?h! —Evenipp the serene and marble face of motner The feint suggestion of,a. smile camels we clutched our Ifiit, supposing’frfcJ meeting to he over, and then sheep ishly dropped and saulFback in disifiay But even Sunday cannot hold out for ever, and meetings have to' let out sometime! So at length, a universal stir and hustle announced that it wad time to go. Up we wilted! Downwq sat so quick as if a million piwfc^wfcri! our foot.! The right leg was asleep! Limping forth into ffce open air, relief came foour heait. The be-, ing out of doors Rid always an inex pressible charm, and never so much as on Sunday. Away went the wagons. Away went the people. The place swarmed with folks. Ia ten minutes all were gone,, and the street was given up again to the biids! Little good did preaching do me un til aftei I was fifteen years old—little good, immediately. Yet the* whole Sunday—the peculiar influence which it exerted on the household, the gene ral sense of awe which it inspired, tlg| very vigor of its difference from othCT days, and the suspended Its seamen time, served to •ujfbn the . young »ind ~e profound impression. A day that stood out fr<~>m all others in a hard gaunt way, might perhaps he jnstly criticised.— But it left .its mark. It did its work upon the imagination, if not upon the reason. It had a power in it, and in estimating moral excellence, power is an element of the utmost importance. IVill our smooth, cozy, feeble modern Sundays have such a grip on the mo | ral nature? They are far pleasanter.— ■ Arc they as efficacious? Will they ed-! ucate the moral nature as much?—N. Y.
