MY NEIGHBOR'S BABY.
-0-"
Across in my neighbor's window,
With its dropings of satin and lace,
I see 'neath his Sowing ringlets,
A baby's innocent face.
His feet in crimson slippers,
Are tapping the polished glass,
And the crowd in the street lo-.k npward,
And nod and smile as they pass.
Jnst here in my cottage window,
Catching flies in the sun,
With a patched and faded apron,
Stands my own little one.
His face is as pure and handsome
As the baby's over tbe wav,
And he keeps my heart from breaking
At my toiling, erery day.
Sometimes when the day is ended,
And ? sit in the dusk to rest,
With the face of my sleeping darling
Hogged close to my lonely breast,
I pray that my neighbor's baby
May not catch heaven's roses all,
Bnt that some may crown the forehead
Of my ?OTed one as they fall:
And when I draw the stockings
From bis little weary feet, **
And kiss the rosy dimples
In bis limbs-,- so round and sweet
I think of tbe dainty garments
Some little children wear,
And that my God withholds them
From mine, so pure and fair.
Way G#d forgive my envy_
I know not what I said ;
My heart is crushed and troubled
My neighbor's boy is dead !
I saw the little coffin
As they carried it ont to-day ;
A mother's heart is breaking
In the mansion over the way.
The light is fair in my window ;
Thft-ie^ers bloom at my door ;
My boy is chasing the sunbeams
That dance on the cottage floor.
The roses of health are blooming
Qp my darling's cheek to-day,
Bnt tbe baby is gone from the "window
Of the mansion over the way.
The Presbyterian.
Denominational Bigotry.
We are told that a 'bigot' is one who
is obstinately and unreasonably wedded
to a particular religious creed.
There is some doubt as to the deriva?
tion of the word. Some authorities say
it is the same as the French bigot, a
name originally given to the Normans
in France from the exclamation, *Nese,
Bigot' (Not so, by God,) once made use
of by the Norman Duke Rollo. The
Spanish 'hombre de bigot? means a man
of vigor, and some authorities suggest
that 'bigot' is from BegJiard (or Beg
nard,*) one of a class of Monks noted
for the strictness of their priociples.
Mean what it will, it amounts to a
vice in many. It is exclusivism in its
worst form. It robs piety of its beauti?
ful spirit of charity and forbearance,
and makes it the patron of intolerance.
Let its victims be never so energetic,
bigotry never wins any converts, but,
-On the other hand, repels the earnest
seeker from what he had fondly hoped
was a fold of mercy and love.
And yet while we deprecate the vice,
we most be careful lest we ourselves be?
come bigots in our denunciation of it.
There are some good reasons for our
forbearance with the unfortunate ones,
viz.:
1. A man raised in a certain faith is
apt to die thus. It becomes a secogf
nature to him, and the lessons oj^-gjjfid. j
hood and maturity so deepl^g^ them !
selves within him as^fl^develop the
bigot.
2. BycojjrWfn^QQg-jjj^o?triDation, he
jys?r^fn?now but one creed, and this j
is instilled into him incessantly, while, |
on the other hand, he remains ignorant j
of any other creed. Orthodoxy with
him is only his doxy, and every other |
doxy is heterodoxy.
3. Farther still, some are bigots by
nature. They are not only so about
their religion, but about their horses,
or cows, or crops. Everything they
own is better than what others own.
AU their feats are remarkable, and in a
word, self-conceit in them is developed
into bigotry. Such persons are to be
pitied rather than condemned.
4. Then, too, the convictions of some
are stronger than the same convictions
in others, and in all this they are per- j
feet?y conscientious. They feel that j
any yielding or catering to the wishes j
of others would be insincerity and their
devout dread of hypocrisy iu themselves
converts into intolerant bigots.
So, then, our treatment of such cases !
should be tempered by a remembrance j
of these facts, and in a proper treatment j
we shall best show forth the fact that we j
are not the victims of the vice which we ]
condemn in others. And yet the vice j
is to be condemned. We shall do wrong j
to ignore it, and to seek to justify it. I
Portions of the following from thc
able and caustic pen of Pr. Cookmau,
chimes in with our idea :
"I have to forewarn you that there is
larking in different sections of our camp, j
a dangerous and malignant spy. 11
will endeavor to describe this diabolical !
spy as well as I can. He is remarkably j
old, having grown gray in iniquity. He j
is toothless and crooked, and altogether ;
of a very unsavory countenance. His
name, sir, is Bigotry. He seldom trav?
els in daylight; but in the evening
shades be steals forth from his haunts
of retirement, and creeps into the tent j
of the soldiers ; and with a tongue as j
smooth and deceptive as the serpent j
who deceived our first mother, he en- '
deavors to sow arrows, firebrands and j
death in the camp. His policy is to |
persuade the soldiers in garrison to
despise those in open field ; and again, j
those in open field to despise those in !
garrison ; to incite the cavalry against j
the infantry, and the infantry against
the cavalry ; and, in so doing, he makes I
no scruple to employ misrepresentation, ?
slander and falsehood ; for, like his
father, he is a liar from the beginning.
Now, sir, I trust the army will be on
the alert in detecting this scoundrel,
and making a public example of him.
I hope if the Methodist cavalry catch
him on the frontiers, they will ride him
down, and put him to the sword with?
out delay. I trust the Presbyterian
infantry will receive him on the point
of the bayonet; and should the Bap?
tists find him skulking along the banks
of the rivers, I trust they will fairly
drown him ; and should he dare to ap?
proach any of our garrisons, I hope the
Episcopalians will open upon him a
double-flanked battery, and the Dutch
Beformed greet him with a round of
artililery. Let him die the death of a
spy without military honors ; and, after
he bas been gibbetted for a convenient
season, let his body be given to the
Quakers, and let them bury him deep,
and in silence. May God grant bis
miserable ghost may never revisit this
world of trouble."
FUTURE RETRIBUTION.
We are often asked, says Professor
Phelps, *How can you bear to believe in
an eternal hell ? Why does it not craze
you ? How can you call such a God as
can create a hell benevolent ? To us
he seems Satanic in bis nature. Yes,
your God is my devil.'
Whenever I go from my home to the
city of Boston, I pass by a building
which reminds me of the Castle of Giant
Despair. It is constructed of heavy
granite blocks to the very roof. It is
surrounded with lofty granite walls, and
these are surrounded with iron spikes. I
see doors of massive iron riveted with iron
bolts. I see windows barred with iron.
Behind these iron bars I have seen pale
despairing human faces-faces which
have reappeared to me in my dreams.
I know that underneath those walls, in
a dungeon cell, there lives a man, man?
acled band and foot, who has clanked
his chains there for seventeen years.
Sometimes more than five hundred of
my human brothers are locked within
those walls of living death.
I have been told that over against a
certain window there, on the opposite
side of the street, there lives a pale-faced
woman who never smiles. Every morn?
ing she places on her window-sill a
blooming flower, where a certain man
behind those bars can see it, and can
know that a loving woman is thinking
of him. Yet I see in a turret on those
walls a man in uniform, with a rifle at
his shoulder, who. if he sees that brother
man trying to clamber over the wall
and touch the hand of that loving
woman, is instructed to shoot him down
like a dog.
Why do I not cry out against the
malign power which keeps asunder that
suffering wife and husband ? Why do
I not tramp the streets of Boston, plead?
ing with the crowd to go with me and
level that Bastile to the ground ? Why
do I not move heaven and earth against
the infernal tyranny which has devised,
and the coid-bearted cruelty which tol?
erates, that granite hell ? What is it
that sustains my humane sensibilities
and yours at the sight at such an anom?
aly of despair, in a world where robins
are singing in the spring-time, and vio?
lets are blooming on the hill sides, and
little children are laughing in their
glee ?
Answer me this, and I will tell you
what it is that sustains a benevolent
universe in beholding, and a benignant
God in devising, an eternal hell for
tho confinement of eternal guilt. And
you must prove to me that it is not so,
before you can charge God with Satan?
ic wrong in tolerating such a place
as hell within the bounds of his domin?
ions.
The question which all such suspicions
of God's rectitude bring back like a
boomerang upon the inquirer is, What
else shall God do with eternal guilt?
Shall he forgive it ? Shall he, by one
grand act of amnesty, proclaim liberty
to the damned, to the devil, to his
angels, and to men like them ? But
how would that help the matter, sin
remaining unrepented of and unfbjgj:'
ken ? Free grace proclaimedx^hell
forever would not ({nen^r^rone mo?
ment its lurid fires^if sjn were Bi\\\
pregnant tbere^g? js hell. "Myself
am hell,"^f Milton's Satan. Guilt is
itselfda^jJnatjon^ Again the question
J^?fns, therefore, 'What else shall God
'ao with it ?
Shall be give repentance, and then
forgive ? But that is the very thing
he has been offering from the first, and
will offer forever and ever. Never
will man or devil see the moment when
he cannot repent, if he would. But
that is the very thing from which the
incorrigible sinner recoils. He will
have none of that. Repentance means
submission. Better hell than that.
Such is the relentless choice of the
doomed one. Doomed because self
doomed. Doomed by the fearful om?
nipotence of his owu free will.
Such is sin ; once chosen and im?
planted and indurated in the very nature
of man, by a life of abused probation,
in which the grace of God has been
scorned and the blood of Christ out?
raged. Once more, then, the question
comes back unanswered: "What else
shall God do with it ?" Through all
eternity that is the question which In?
finite Benevolence will ask of an awe?
struck, yet satisfied and adoring uni?
verse. "W?iut else shall God do loith
ur
The late Dean Stanley is said to have
rarely made a gesture when preaching.
One day a*"ter morning service he asked
his wife if she had noticed the intensity
with which the congregation had gazed
upon him during the sermon. "How
could Ihey help it my dear," said Lady
Augusta, "when one of your gloves
was on the top of your head the whole
time?" The Dean having taken his
hat off before entering the pulpit, the
glove lyiog therein had fallen on his
head, and as he stood quite still when
preaching, there it remained.
The springs at the base of the Alpine
mountains are fullest and freshest when
the summer sun has dried the springs
and parched the verdure in tbe valleys
below. The heat that has burned thc
arid plains has melted mountain glacier
and snow, and increased the volume of
the mountain streams. Thus, when
adversity has dried the springs of earthly
comfort and hope, God's great springs
of salvation and love flow freshest and
fullest to gladden the heart.
Francis Scott Key, author of "The
Star Spangled Banner," is said to have
written nothing else in verse worth re?
membering. All else, in prose or
rhyme, is commonplace. He made one
lucky hit. He had no ear for music
and could not tell one tune from another.
Mr. Hensel, in the Philadelphia Press,
j states that, on one occasion he was
I serenaded, and the local band naturally
j played the music of his famous song.
; To thc great astonishment and amusc
; ment of the gentlemen about him, he
. innocently remarked that "it was a
! pretty air," densely ignorant of the tune
I they were playing. A daughter in
. herited the same lack of musical aptitude
j and ber daughter in turn ; and now in
. the fourth generation, a great-grand
; daughter of the author of the Star
! Spangled Banner has vainly tried for
: years to accomplish enough musical
: knowledge to know that tune when it is
I played.
True glory strikes root and eveo ex
I tends itself ; but false pretensions fall
I as do flowers, nor can anything feigned
i be lasting.
i God does not pay up every Saturday
! night; but he is sure to "settle in full"
' some day.
It requires an abler man to take advice
! than it does to give it.
Living from Hand to Mouth.
-0
The following extract is from thc
Sunday School Times :
Thc lawyer lives from hand io mouth,
who studies law only with reference to
the cases he has in hand, careless of the
wider reach of principle involved in
them. He may suppose that he thus
lays up great stores of knowledge ; but
as a matter of fact, what he retains is &
very small part of the 'cram' he has
made for bis plea. So with a physician,
however popular, who never attempts to
investigate beyond the necessities of his
practice. With all due respect to the
clergy, it is to be feared that many pas?
tors live altogether 'from hand to
' mouth.' They carefully study Scrip
? ture only because a sermon must be
written, or an essay prepared, or a
Bible class instructed. Of a wide and
continuous search of the word for its own
sake, to fill up the man with God's
great thoughts, some, at least, know
very little. Yet this is the true way
to be rich io the word, mighty in the
Scriptures. On thc results of such
study one cao safely draw for the week?
ly duties, and yet have a surplus; a
larger surplus, be it remembered, and a
surer one than that which some imag?
ine they gain by trundling off to a new
place with the old sermons reckoned as
so much laid by. To be able to write
better sermons is far preferable to hav?
ing many good ones.
Only the waters in the ship can sink
the ship; but while kept outside, all the
heaving deep thundering over three
fifths of the globe can work no shipwreck.
So, while kept outside the church, the
floods of ungodly influence can only
help to float it on its voyage of glory,
or to lift it to its Ararat of rest.
Thc leading Scientists of to-day agree
that most diseases are caused by disordered
Kidneys cr Liver. If therefore, the Kidneys
and Liver are kept in pei fcc t order, perfect
health will be the result. This truth h ?s only
been knowu a short time and for years people,
suffered great agony without bein?; able tOv-ffnj
relief. The discovery of Warner's Safj?-^i Jncy
and Liver Cure marks a. new era lg" the treat?
ment of these troubles Nz?s-fri,T a. sim?le
tropical leaf ofj^j^jai*^ ?t contains just the
elements^j^^j^ry to nourish and invigorate

REMEDY for all the disoases that cause pains
in the lower part of the bf dy-for Torpid Liver
-Headaches-Jaundice-Dizziness-Gravel -
Fever, Agre-Maiarial Fever, and all difScul

It is an excellent and safe remedy for females
during Pregnancy. It will control Menstrua?

its the confidence of

the medicinal princi?
ples and curative vir?
tues of the finest drugs,
chemically united, of
Wty such jjpw?r as to insure
the greatest possible
'''ii, efficiency and uuiform
PEY^TAD D T ~ itv of results. It strikes
rCV/ i V/?inLi. at the foundation of all
pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief
and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of
any age or either sex. Being very palatable,
the youngest children take it readily. In
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca?
tarrh, the effects of AYER'S CHERRY PEC?
TORAL are magical, and multitudes are an?
imally preserved from serious illness by its
timely aud faithful use. It should be kept
at hand in every household for the pro?
tection it affords in sudden attacks. In
Whooping-cough and Consumption
there is no other remedy so efficacious,
soothing; and helpful.
Low prices are inducements to try some of
the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap
and ineffective ingredients, now offered,
which, as they contain no curative qualities,
can afford only temporary relief; and are
snre to deceive and disappoint The patient.
Diseases of the throat and lungs demand
active and effective treat ment ; and it is dan?
gerous experimenting with unknown and
cheap medicines, from the gn at liability that
these diseases may, while so trifled with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use
AYKK'S CHERRY PECTORAL, and you may
confidently expect the best results. It is a
standard medical preparation, of known and
acknowledged curative power, and is as
cheap as its careful preparation and tine
ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians,
knowing its composition, prescribe it in rheir
practice. The test of hali a century has
proven its absolute certainty to cure all pul?
monary complaints not already beyond the
reach of human aid.
