Tor the him day Knqnli* r.
WASTED WATERS.
When Borens, rushing from tlie Norlh,
Cornea blustering through our laud,
A crown of Iro upon bis head,
A frosted hi "j.tre in his hand—
'Tia then you hear it loudest,
Comet hi life like old ocean’s rnuuu—
A noli nm tinge-like mimic,
That wrings from weary heart* n groan,
Mixed with droamn of future greatness,
Which this mighty stream muy tiling
In the dim, uncertain future.
Out or which our hopes must spring ;
Hoping that this waste of waters
May riot long thoir treasures pour
Over barren bunks of sand
And rut ky boulders, great and Imar ,
Tiiat its busy, noisy rushing,
On its highway to the sen,
May ho used to gnu ns wealth
In that future that's to ho;
That this I ilr and comoly city,
Hint lies nostlud in its arms,
May rouse from its I< thargic sleep
lly n thunder of alarms,
That calls to us to nerve tlio heart,
And tlio arms will tlion grow strong
Wage hattle with Desolation
With u brhk and busy tiirong ,
Working bravely on the waters,
Though up abovo them high,
riylng tlio gllitoriiig spindles
’Twixt the waters and tlio sky
True, the spirit of enterpriso
Is not altogether <li ud,
Tor two groat lactoriis grandly stand,
And weave the snowy thread;
Out they look so very lonely,
ill llieir majesty and height,
That wo wish tlio bunks were lined
With the h ipo-insplrlug sight
Of stately piles, closo linked
In the brntiil-rhood of power.
Oh ! that tlio time may on(no,
And may (iod spaed tlio hour,
Whan, In thu silent night-time,
Just end of thu dreary uioans
That como shivering from its bosom,
From its homo among the stones,
'Twill come fraught with ilitroront moaning -
A hoarse, triumphant roar—
As it rushes through tlio myriad wheals
That gird it to tlio slim o.
Thou,with spirits thankful,
And lulled by its hopeful tones,
Wo w ill calmly set k our rest,
Forgetful of tlio groaus.
For whore industry dwells
J’oaco mid plenty over reign,
And thorn is naught to mourn
Wlmro all may prosper, all may gala.

— Christianity is not a theory,or a sp‘-o-

life, but a livo and a living pronoun. Try
it. It has been oightoon htindrod years

reco d like the following? “I tried it;
and t did not answer; I made the oxperi-
men* faithfully according to Iho direc

— Nothing so strongly indicates the man
of pure and wholesome thought as habit

A Crue Hero.—A boy about nine years
old, was bathing one day, when, b)’ aotuo
misohunco, ho got into deep water uud be
gan to sink. His older brother saw him
aud urn to save bun, but lucking atreugth
or skill, ho also sauk to tho bottom of the
river Ah the two drowning brothers
rose vo the surface for tho last time, they
aaw a third brother, tho youngest of tho
family, ruuning down tho bank for the
purpose of trying to save thorn. Then it
was that the dying nine-year old acted tho
part of a hero. Htruggltug a* he was with
death, he gathered all Iiih strength, and
••ried to Ins brother on shore:
“Don't come in, or father will lose all
his hoys at once!"
Noble little fellow! Though d)*ing, he
forgot himself, and thought only of his
father's grief. lie was a gen time hero.
HiH brother obeyed his dying command,
and was spared to comfort bis father whon
his two dead sons were taken from the
river chiapod in each other's arm*.
Boys, you arc not called to bo heroes in
thin way, but you aro called to consider
tho feoliugs ot your parents, and to study
how 10 avoid giving them paiu. The best
way to do tin* is to love them dearly.
Love will not only keep you from hurting
their feelings, but it will make you
sources of great joy to thoir hearts.
R*«ul ore those children whose words
1 deeds make sweet tnnsio in their pa
rents' soul!

chop with the moat. To this quantity add
one «>gg. yolk and white well beateu to
