That this Conference disclaim any in tention by said vote of pas-ing over or treat ing lightly any violation of the I<w alluded to. And further, that it is the sense of this body that no preacher is justified in ‘ ceasing to travel” and preaeh in the place assigned him on any slight pretext, and that he is only justified when he does so from strictly “ unavoidable circumstances.’' 2. Resolved, That all such cases must, and should, stand each one upon its own merits, and be dealt therewith according to the circumstances of the case. &j) titan. A BEAUTIFUL STORY. “ A divert ul word jf s\ rnp .t lijr May sciittvr clouds a wa v ; Out* Inile act performed in love Turns darkness into day.” It was a warm a lazj brorze stole through the windows of a little h.»t dis trict pchool-liou.-c, lifting the white curtaius, and ru-tling the leaves of the copy-books that lay open on all the desks. Thirty or foriy scholars of all ages were bending over their writing, quiet and busy; the voice of the master, as he passed about among the writers, was the only sound. But, though silent, this little light, hot school room has its heroes and heroines as eertainly as the wider sphere of life. The bell rings for tbe writing to be laid by; and now comes the last exercise of the day, the spelling, in which nearly all the school joined. At the head of the clas-s is a delicate little girl in a blue dress, whose bright eyes and attentive air show that she prizes her place, and means to keep it. Presently a word, which had passed all tbe lower end of the class, came to Eunice. The word was privilege. “P-r-i-v, priv—i, privi—l-e-g-e, lege —privilege,” spelt Eu nice. But the teacher, vexed with the mis« takes of the other end of the class, misun derstood her and passed it. The little girl looked amazed ; the bright color came into her cheeks ; and she listened eagerly to the next person, who spelt it again as she had done. “ Right/’ said the teacher; “take your place.” “ I spelt it so,” whispered Eunice to her self ; the tears springing to her eyes as she passed down. But, too timid to speak to the master, she remained in her place, in wardly determining soon to get up again. But her trials were not yet over. Many expedients had been tried in the schoul to keep out the arch enemy of all teachers —whisper. At length the follow ing plan was adopted : The first whisperer was stood upon the floor in front of the teacher’s desk. Here he acted as a moni tor; as soon as lie detected another he took his seat, and the next offender kept a sharp lookout to find someone to take his place; for, at. the close of the school, the scholar who had the whisperer’s place was punished very severely —as the school phrase was, “took a feruling !’’ This plan appeared to operate very well; every one dreaded being found last on the floor; but, though it se cured an orderly school, many of the parents and scholars doubted its justice. The boy who was on the floor when Eu nice lost her place was an unruly, i-urly fel low, who had smarted for his faults often before; and as school drew near its close he began to tremble. The instant Eunice’s whispered complaints reached his ear his face brightened up; he was safe now. And when the class was dismissed he said, “Eu uice whispered, sir.’' Eunice rose, and in a trembling voice re lated what she had said ; but the teacher saw no excu-e in it, and she was called to take the place of the ungenerous boy who had told of her. Books had been put away ; and the wait ing school looked on in sorrowfulness as Eunice left her seat to take the dreadful punishment. She was one of the best schol ars—bright, faithful, sweet tempered, and a general favorite Every one felt that it was unjust; and many angry glances were cast at the boy win was mean euough to gt t a littie girl whipped. Overcome with shame and icar, she siood by the side of the desk, crying b'tterly, while the teacher was preparing to inflict the punishment. At this moment a tall boy stepped out of his seat, and, going to the desk, said : “Are you going to whip Eunice, sir ?” *■ Yes, I never break my rules,” the teacher answered. “ We will not see her whipped S’' said the boy in an excited voice ; “there i3 not a boy here, but that one. that would see her whip ped ! Whip me, sir, and keep your rules if you must, but don’t touch this little girl !” The master paused ; the school looked on t earl ally. “ Do you mean to say you will take her punishment ?” asked the teacher. “ I do. sir,” was toe bold reply. The obbiri*: little girl was sent to her seat, and, without flinching, her friend stood and r ceiveu ilia punishment that was to have fa l« n oif her. The school was dis missed. and the hoys paid hi in in admiration and praise for all he had suffered, while the grateful little girl ble-sed him from her heart for a noble and generous boy, who hail saved her from the greatest shame and suffering l sad the little school had its heroes — and tins was one of them Do you nut think til s conduct admirable ? Note fur the moral: The punishment received by this noble hoy was Christ-like : it was one of suffering from his own free will, the punishment that was to have been borne by anot her. You aie—do you not '( —that this is just what Chri-t did, who bore cur sins in nis own body on the tree—the Saviour of men. What lie suffered we cannot know in this life; but Gud laid on him the iniquity of us all, which lie willingly bore, to save us from eternal shame and misery. With His stripes wo are healed IJow great the grat itude each of us owes such a friend ! “Down from the shininir seats above, Wiih j<»» fnl heart he fled. Entered the g*ave in inoroil flesh, And dwell among t lie dead. Oil. for this love let rocks and hills Their las ing silence break ; And all harmonious human longues The Saviom-’s praises speak.” —Author of “ Home. Thrusts.'' Waiting for You.

Losing the Happy out of the Heart. A mother, who was leaving her home on a visit, told her little boy and girl not to go through the gate at the bottom of their gar den, which opened into the woods. The children were very happy for a long time after their mother had gone, but at last, in their play, having reached tho gate through which they were not to pass, the little boy began to feel an earnest desire to go into the woods. He persuaded bis little sifter to follow him. Nothing appeared to dis* turb them, and after some rambling and playing about, they returned, having con cluded not to teil their mother where they had been, unless she asked them: she had not expected them to disobey her. and nev er thought of inquiring. Notwithstanding this, the little boy did not feel eomfortab'o. He knew he had done wrong, and he could not help feeling unhappy. When Sunday night came, and the little boy had been washed for bed, he and his mother commenced to have a nice talk, as they usually had at that time. James could not keep his sad secret any longer from his kind mother, so he told her what he and his sister had done; and then in some sort to show that her command was heedless, he said that nothing had happened to them The mother let him know that something did befall them, and that they had lust something, and urged her ldtle boy to think what it could be. Perhaps she meant they bad lost the habit ot obedience, and would be easily led to do wrong again ; or perhaps she meant they had lost her confidence. The little boy could not think for a long time of anything he had lost. lie knew that he had left his ball safe, that his knife was in his pocket, and that his slate pencil SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE was at hand when he wished to use it. But as he continued to think, he mnembered how uneasy and uuc mfurtable he had been all the week, and at last, in a low sorrowful voice, he said, “ Mother, I did lose some thing in the woods, I did : 1 lost the happy out of my heart !” The Unseen Shore- The mists of death hang low upon life's sea — The unseen shore. Beyond the darkness, rises silently For ever more ; The golden city flashes from the strand, But mortal eye sees not the distant laud. Unnumbered prows are turned toward that, shore, But never yet Returning voyager, With struggling oar, Or canvas set, Hath brought us lidings from the land afar, Whose siiVer light is not of sun or star. But there are voices in that unseen land, Which we have heard, Os loved ones standing with us hand in hand, With smile and word, That kindled here our hearts wiih friendship’s glow. And breathed on us their music sweet and low. And there arc footsteps on the go'den street That long ago Made sacred rhythm, gliding soft and sweet, Or sad and slow. Along tbe paths v.) trod bv heartn and home, But strangely ceased, and left us lone to roam. And there are souls that thrilled with love be low, Who look on Him, For whom the stars m endless luster burn Where seraphim. Delighted, ha*k around the throne of light, lu ceaseless wonder at the Infinite. W* knew them here, and with them wept and smiled ; Our life was one ; We met and parted, still of each beguiled; Tneir work is done, And they are resting in the morning land, And we are toiling yet with heart uud hand. We group ihem oft in visions of tiie soul, A joyous baud; As on the peaceful lulls of light they stroll, lu that fair land : Or wander on the shore wit droving gaze, To watch the comers from the dark sea haxe. Speed on, my bark, life’s stormy sea across ; The mists will rise, And every pain, and tear, ami earthly loss, In 8 range surprise, Shall vanish, when ilie unseen shore shall greet Thine eye, and thou shall touch the golden street.
