FAITH.
A swallow in the spring,
Came to our granary, and ’ne uh the eayes
lEssayed to m >ke a nest, and there did bring
Wet earth, and straw, and leaves.
Day after day, she toiled
With patient art, but ere her work was crowned,
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought;
Yet, not cast down, forth from her place she
flew,
And with her mate, fresh earth and grasses
brought,
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last sofi feaiher on irs ample floor,
'When wicked hand, or chance, again laid waste,
And wrought the ruin o’er.
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled again ; and, last night nearing ca Is,
I looked, audio! three little swallows slept
Within the earth made walls
What truth is here, O man !
Hath hope been smitten in its early dawn?
Have clouds o’ercast thy purpose trust cr plan ?
Have faith, and siruggle on!

THE POWER OF MERCY.
Quiet e. ou-h, in geuenl, is the quiet old
town id’ Lauiborough. Why all this bustle
Jo-day ? Along the hedgebound roads
which lead to it, carts, chaises, vehicles of
icvery description arc jogging along filled
with countrymen ; and here and there the
scarlet coat v/r straw bonnet of some female
■occupying a chair, placed somewhat un
steadily behind them, contrasted gaily with
the dark coats, or gray smock frocks on the
from, row ; from every outrage of the sub
orb, some individuals join the stream, which
rolls on increasing through the streets till it
reaches the castle. The ancient moat teems
with idlers, and the hill opposite, usually
Jfee quiet domain of a score or two of peace
ful sneep, partakes of the surrounding agi
tation.
The voices of the multitude which sur
round the court-house sound like the mur
anur of the sea, till suddenly it rises into a
sort of shout, John West, the terror of
Jhe surrounding country, the sheep-stealer
knd burglar, has been fuund guilty.
“ What is the sentence ?” is asked by a
hundred voices.
The answer is “ transportation for life.”
But there was one standing aloof on the
hill whose inquiring eye wandered over the
crowd with indescribable anguish, whose
pallid cheek grew more and more ghastly at
every denunciation of the culprit, and who,
when the last sentence was pronounced, fell
insensible upon the green sward. It was
4he burglar’s sou.
When the boy recovered from his swoon,
it was late in the afternoon; he was alone ;
the faint tinkling of the sheep-bell had
again replaced the sound of the human cho
rus of expectation, and dread and jesting:
ail was peaceful, he could not understai and
why he lay there feeling so weak and sick,
lie raised himself tremulously aud looked
around; the turf was cut and s-oiled by
the trampling of many feet. All his life
of the last few mouths floated before his
memory, his residence in his father's hovel
with ruffianly comrades, the desperate
schemes he heard as he pretended to sleep
on his lowly bed, their expeditions at night,
masked and armed, their hasty return, the
news of his father’s capture, his own re
moval to the house of some female in town,
the court, the trial, the condemnation.
The father had been a harsh and brutal
parent, but he had not positively ill-used
his boy. Os the great and merciful Father
of the fatherless lie knew nothing He
deemed himself alone in the world. Yet
grief was not his prevailing feeling, nor
the shame of being known as the son of a
transport. It was revenge that burned
within him. He thought of the crowd
which had come to least upon his father’s
agony, he longed to tear them to pieces, and
he plucked savagely a handful of grass on
which he leaned 0, that he were a man !
that lie could punish them all—all —the
spectators, first, the constables, the judges,
the jury, a clergyman, named Layton, who
had giveu his evidence more positively,
more clearly than all the others. O, that
he could do that man some injury—but for
him his lather would not have been identi
fied and convicted.
Suddenly a thought occurred to him, his
eyesiaikled with fierce delu ht “1 know
where he lives,” he said to himself; “he
has the farm and parsons e of Millwood.
I will <»o there at once—it is almost dark
already. I will do as I have heard father
say lie ones d'd to the squire. I will set
his bi.niftand his house on fire. Yes, yes,
he shall barn for it—he shall get no more
fathe- s transported.
j o procure a box of matches was an easy
iask and that was all the preparation the
hoy tiiudn.
Tip- autumn was far advanced. A cold
wind was beginning to tnoun among the al
ffiost .t-afless tress, George West’s teeth
chattered, and his ill clad limbs grew numb
as he walked along the fields leading to
IVlidw od. “ Lucky it’s a dark night; this,
fine wimi will fan the flames nicely,” he re
peated to himself.
'I he cluck wai striking nine, but all was
quin as midnight; not a s-.ul stirring, not a
light in i lie window that he could see. He
dar.-d eot, open the gate, lest the click of
the la'ch should betray him, so he s fitly
cliiiu cit over; but scireely had he dropped
on me other side of the wall before the
loud l rking of a dog startled him. lie
cowered down behind the hay-rick, scarcely
daring to breathe, expecting each instant
the dog would spring upon him. It was
some time before the boy dared to stir, and
his courage cooled, his thirst for revenge
somewhat subsided also, till he almost de
termined to run to Lauiborough; but he
was too tired, too cold, too hungry—besides,
the woman would beat him for staying out
so late. What could he do? where should
he go ? and as the sense of his forlorn posi
tion returned, so did also the affectionate
remembrance of his father, his hatred of his
accusers, his desire to satisfy his vengeance;
aud once more courageous through anger,
he rose took the box from his pocket, and
boldly drew a match across the sand-paoer.
It flamed, he stuck it hastily in the stack
against which he rested ; it only flickered a
little, and then went out. In great trepi
dation young West once more grasped the
whole of the remaining matches and ignited
them, but at the same instant the dog
barked. He heard the sate open, a step is
close to him, the matches are extinguished,
the lad makes a desperate effort to escape,
but a strong hand is laid on his shoulder,
and a deep, calm voce inquired, “ What
can have urged you to such a crime?’’
Then calling loudly, the gentleman without
relinquishing his hold, soon obtained the
help of some farming men who commenced
a search with their lanterns all about the
farm. Os course they found no accomplices,
nothing at all but the handful of half-con
sumed matches the lad had dropped, and he
all that time stood trembling and occasional
ly struggling, beneath the firm but not
rough, grasp of the master who held him.
At last the men are told to return to the
house, and thither, by a different path, was
George led, till they entered a small, poorly
furnished room. The walls were covered
with books, as the bright flame of the fire
revealed to the anxious gaze of the little
culprit. The cler.-yinan lit a lamp, and
surveyed his prisoner carefully. The lad’s
eyes were fixed on the ground, while Mr.
Leyton’s wandered from his pale, pinched
features to his scanty, ragged attire, through
the tatters of which he could discern the
thin limbs quivering from cold or fear; and
when at last, impelled by curiosity at the
long silence, George looked up, there was
something so sadly compassionate in the
stranger’s look, that the boy could scarcely
believe that he was really the man whose
evidence had mainly contributed to trans
port his father. At the trial he had been
unable to see his face, and nothing so kind
had ever gazed upon him. His proud, bad
features were already melting. “ You look
half starved,’’ said Mr. Leyton; “ draw
near to the fire; you can sit down on that
stool while l question you; and mind you
answer me the truth. lain not a magis
trate, but of course can easily hand you
over to justice if you will not allow me to
benefit you in my own way.”
George stood still, twisting his ragged
cap in his trembling fingers, and with so
much emotion depicted on his face, that
the clergyman resumed in still more sooth
ing accents ; “ I have no wish to do any
thing but good, my poor boy : look up and
sec if you cannot trust me; you need not
be thus frightened. I only desire to hear
the tale of misery your appeafauce’indicates,
to relieve it if I can.’’
Here the youug culprit’s heart smote
him. Was this the man whose house he
had tried to burn ? on whom he wished to
bring ruin, and perhaps death? Was it a
suare spread for him, to lead to a confes
sion ? But when he looked on the grave,
compassionate countenance, he felt that it
was not.
“ Come my lad tell me all.”
George had for years heard little but
oaths, and curses, and ribald jests, or the
thief’s jargon of his father’s associates, and
had been constantly cuffed and punished;
but the better part of his nature was not
extinguished; and at these words from the
mouih of his enemy, dropped on his knees,
and clasping his hands, tried to speak, but
could only sob. He had not wept before
during that day of anguish; and now his
tears gushed forth so freely, his grief was
so passionate as he half knelt, half rested
on the floor, that the good questioner saw
that sorrow must have its course ere calm
could be restored.
The young penitent still wept when a
knock was heard at the door, and a lady
entered. It was the clergyman’s wife; he
kissed her as she asked how he had succeed
ed with the wicked man in gaol ?
“ He told me,’’ replied Mr. Leyton “that
he had a son whose fate tormented him
more than his punishment. Indeed, his
mind was so distracted respecting the youth,
that he was scarcely able to understand my
exhortations. He entreated me with ago
nizing energy to save his son from such a
life as he had led, and gave the address of a
woman in whose house he lodged. I was,
however, unable to find the boy in spite of
many earnest inquiries.’’
“ Did you hear his name ?” ashed the
wife.
“ George West,” was the reply.
At the mention of his name the boy
ceased to sob. Breathless he heard the
account of his father’s last request of the
benevolent clergyman’s wish to fulfill it.
He started up, ran towards the door, and
endeavored to open it. Mr. Leyton calmly
restrained him. “ You must not escape/’
he said.
“I cannot stop here. I cannot bear to
look at you. Let me go,” the lad said
wildly, aud shook himself away.
“ Why, I intend you nothing but kind
ness.”
A new flood of tears burst forth; and
George West said, between his sobs:
“ While you wore searching for me to
help me, 1 was trying to burn you in your
house. I cannot bear it.” He sank on
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
his knees and covered his face with both
hands.
There was a long silence, for Mr. and
Mrs. Leyton were as much moved as the
boy, who was bowed down with shame and
penitence, to which hitherto he had been a
stranger.’
At last the clergyman asked, “ What
could have induced you to commit such a
crime ?”
Rising suddenly in the excitement of re
morse, gratitude and many feelings new to
him, he hesUated for a moment, and then
told his story; he related his trials, his
sins, his sorrows, his supposed wrongs, his
burning anger at the terrible fate of his
only parent, and his rage at ti e exultation
of the crowd; his desolation on recovering
from bis swoon, his thirst for vengeance,
the attempt to satisfy it. He spoke with
untaught childlike simplicity, without at
tempting to suppress the emotion which
successfully overcame him.
When he ceased, the lady hastened to
the crouching boy and soothed him with
gentle words. The very tones of her voice
were new to him. They pierced his heart
more acutely than the fiercest of the upbraid
ings and denunciations of his old compan
ions. He looked on his merciful benefac
tors with bewildering tenderness. He kissed
Mrs. Leyton’s hand, then gently laid it on
his shoulder. He gazed about like one in
a Iream who dreaded to wake. He be
came faint and staggered. He was laid
gently on a sofa, and Mr. aud Mrs. Leyton
left him.
“ Food was shortly administci’ed to him,
and after a time when his senses had be
come sufficiently collected, Mr. Leyton re
turned to the study, and explained holy and
beautiful things which were new to the no*
glected boy; of the great, yet loving
Father; of Him who loved the poor, for
lorn wretch equally with the richest, and
noblest, and happiest; of the force and effi
cacy of the sweet beautitude,
“ Blessed are the merciful for they shall
obtain mercy.’’
I heard this story from Mr. Leyton, du
ring a visit to him in May. George West
was then head ploughman to a neighboring
farmer, one of the cleanest, best behaved,
and most respectable laborers in the parish.
Dickens’s Household Words.
Wit and Justice in Missouri.
, It is well known that some of the judges
in Missiouri are very reluctant to enforce
the law against ministers of the gospel for
exercising their profession without having
taken the test oath, and avail themselves of
every pretense to discharge those who are
accused. Wo tell the following tale as it
is told to us, vouching for nothing:
Three ministers charged with the crime
of preaching “ the glorious gospel of the
Son of God,” were arraigned before a judge.
They were regularly indicted, and it was
understood that the proof against them was
very clear.
“Are you a preacher?’’ said the Judge
to one of them.
“Yes sir?” replied the culprit.
“To what denomination do you be
long?’ 5
“lam a Christian, sir.” [With dignity,]
“ A Christian ! What do you mean by
that ? Are not all preachers Christians ?’’
“ I belong to the sect usually called, but
wrongly called, Campbellites.’’ [Not so much
dignity.]
“Ah! Then you believe in baptizing
people, in order that they may be born again,
do you ?”
“ I do, sir.” [Defiantly.]
“ Mr. Sheriff, discharge that man ! He
is an innocent man! lie is indicted for
preaching the gospel, and there isn’t a
word of gospel in the stuff that he preaches!
it’s only some of Alexander Campbell’s non
sense. Discharge the man !”
“ Arc you a preacher ?’’ said the Judge,
addressing the next criminal.
“ I am, sir,” said the miscreant.
« Os what denomination are you ?’’
“I am a Methodist, sir.” [His looks
showed it.]
« Do you believe in falling from grace ?”
“I do sir.” [Without hesitation.]
g Do you believe in sprinkhng people, in
stead of baptizing them ?’’
« I believe that people can be baptized by
sprinkling.” [Much offended ]
“ Do you believe in baptizing babies
uitig m y opinion, sir, that infants ought
to be baplized.’’ [lndignantly.]
« Not a word of Scripture for anything of
the kind, sir !” shouted his Honor. “Mr.
Sheriff, turn that man loose ! He is no
preacher of the gospel! The gospel is the
truth, and there isn’t a word of truth in
what that man teaches ! Turn him loose!
It’s ridiculous to indict men on such frivo*
lous pretenses ! Turn him loose !”
Methodist disappears not at all hurt in
his feelings by the judicial abuse he had
received.
« What are you, sir ?” said the Judge to
third felon. . . „
« Some people call me a preacher, sir.’
[Meekly.] .
« What is your denomination ?
“I am a Baptist” [Head up]
His Honor’s countenance fell, and he
looked sober and sad. After a pause he
said: .
“ Do you believe in salvation by grace ?’
“ I cb.’’
“ Do you teach that immersion only is
baptism V*
« That is my faith and practice.”
« My friend, I fear it will go hard with
you j I seo that you arc indicted for preach
ing the gospel, and it appears to me by
your own confession, that you are guilty. ’
Baptist looked pretty blue.
11 May it please your Honor, ’ said the
Baptist’s counsel, springing to his feet,
“ that man never preached the gospel. I
have heard him say a luindred times that
he only tried. I have heard him tru mv
self.” J
“ Mr. Sheriff, discharge this man ! He’s
not indicted for trying ! There’s nothing
about the mere effort! Let him go, sir!
Turn him loose ! Send him about his bu
siness ! lam astonished that the State’s
Attorney should annoy the Court with friv
olous indictments !”
Exit Baptist, determined to try again.
“ Court adjourned.”
“ God save the State and this Honorable
Court!” exclaimed the Sheriff".
“ Amen !’’ said the preachers.
And after all, say we, as ridiculous as
the story may seem, it has a moral. If the
State has a right to prohibit the preaching
of the gospel, it has a right to decide what
the gospel is; and when this is done, we
have a national church, aud the adulterous
connection between Church and State be
comes complete.

PROF SMITH’S OPINION OF THE ARITHMETIC.
A striking feature of Towne’s Arithmetic, is that it
contains no superfluities.
M "st of the Arithmeiics are cumber and with many
things which the pupils never earn, and are never ex
pected to learn. Prof. Towne has etudb-d eo densa
ti >n and brevity in the enunciation of rules defi, itions
and principles, and h has shown this seldom if ever,
at the exp nse of clearness. Percentage with it ap
plications, is pe« sented in a manner new an I origi
nal, but very clea and satisfa tory The chapter on
Ratio and Proportion is an excel ent one. We ven
ture to say ihat it is inf rior t > the cor-esponiiing
part of no work in it e in this country Upon the
