The Praying Children. Mia. Whittlesey relates atory, which will be useful and interesting to our young readers. She says: "In ono of our Western towns, a clergyman was one morning told by Ids wife, that a little boy, the son of a neighbor, was very sick near to death, and asked if he would not go in and see him. "I hardly know what to do," 6aid he. ?"I fear my visit would not be well ^received." "But," rejoined tbe wife, "when you were sick, a short time since, the mother of the little boy sent in kindly every day to know how you were, and I think they will expect you to come and : see their son. This was a sufficient inducement; he was soon on the way to the dwelling of Borrow. The mother was hanging in anguish over her precious and beautiful child, who wos tossing from side to side, in the delirium of brain fever.? j The minister, after watching him a tew moments, turned to tho lady and said? "This poor little child should be kept perfectly quiet, madam; he should not be excited in any manner. "Sir," said she, "will you offer a prayer ?" At first he hesitated, fearing the effect upon the child, but on second thought knelt at the beusiue, ana uilaic 1 a few petitions in His name who said. "Suffer little eliihlren to come unto me." The moment he commenced specking, the little sufferer; who until now (Miom.fl unconscious of his presence. ceased his moans, lay still upon the he 1 and1 fixing his dark eyes upon him, listened intently to every word. The minister rose from his knees, said a lew words to the rnothor, ami went home, leaving the child in a perfectly tranquil state. The next morning, the first intelligence which greeted him was, that little Frank liad died during the night. t; ^ He had become extremely interested and the apparent effect of the voice of prayer upon the dying boy had surprised him. lie went again to visit the lamiiy, attended the funeral, and at length learned the following facts: 8ho had two children. Frank was the eldest^ and. tliosecond was adaughtor of five years. A few months before, little Alice had gone to spend the night with some companions in the neighborhood, whose parents were Christains, ?id were training their children to fol low their steps. As they wore about retiring to rest, these little onceieaid to their visitor, who did not know the I, I's Prayer.

The next moftiing, full of 1 animation and delighted with her new .0 ucquhdffon, she returned home, and " ^ilie fnoment her brother Frank retnrn**''' ed hom^ from school, she began to tell iiim nlljftbout her visit, and lagged him to leurn "Our Father," and ray it with her. if r JJahvcr. doqiee totlie cslebfcftted Beau ! main, beeause he was often guilty of al1 a ding to personal deformities and luife fortunes in the presence of those possessing theiu, winch no person witb the feelings of a gentleman could do iuadverfe?atly, ana no person of com>. man humanity would do intentionally. If this standard were universally applied, there would be few who would be rightly termed gentlemen, or ladies, liow common among all classes, to spoak in terms of contempt of persons in various conditions or occopying painful positions, for the circumstances of which they are not at all responsible, liow common it is to allude to the aged in & manner which implies contempt for all who are old. Many children are in the habit of calliug ftieir parents "the old man," and "the old woman," in tones of disrespect. \V hich imply that age in their eyes is contemptible. It is common to find hi books allusions to various physical defects in a way which must be torture, like the rack and thumbscrew to those who possess them. How universally is homeliness made u matter of reproach. Every person knows and will confess ! that it is no disgrace to be lame, or to! be plain iu features, or inferior in form, i and no person whose regard is of any value, would deliberately speak or act in a manner to wound another on these points.

The Worst of Crimes. IIow much a word or a passing scri- J tence sometimes reveals.

It is worse than highway robery to sell a man rum? that onfy takes his money, and leaves his reason." Aye?how true. The highwayman takes money, but he does not debase, degrade, aud rob of reason. ! No home is broken up?no wife heartbroken?no children pauperized. The victim is robbed of so many dollars and cents, but the wealth of manhood is left. Strong in his integrity, he can meet the world face to face. His ; honor is unsullied. No black shadow j rests by his hearthsido. The loss of 1 inero money brings no scathing ! blight there. The wife and children fuel not the utter desolation which tall u^on a home where the rum traffic ciimw. j I'iracv on the higli seas is more honorable than rnmselling.

At breakfast a few roorings since, wo heard an unusual twittering among ho branches of the trees that overhung tlie windows. iOar curiosity was excited, for we thought perhaps tlioy 1 wcru making nests among the leaves. AitCrra moment's search in a locust tree wejsaw a bird suspended by his feet front one of the branches. In a moment a swallow came and fed him something which he fetched in his beak. Shortly three others came and all together commenced an attempt to j oxtricnte their unfortunate fellow. By dint of long exortions and most vociferous chatter the little follow was finally lifted upon a limb. Then such a chatter,chatter; twitter, twitter; and fluttering of wings and hopping among | the branches, ^vway went tue little helpers and soon returnd with more to feat for the prisoner. By the assistance of a little boy who olimbed the tree, the swallow was 60on brought to the ground. It appeared that some graceless scamp had tied a string about two feet long to his foot, and the string had caught on a thorn of the limb and held the poor bird fast. How long lie had been there we could not say ; but all night, undoubtedly, as thesonnds of the birds were heard the day previous in that direction. In the fruitless efforts that the little fellow had made to extricate himself, he hAd torn the flesh of his limbs upon the sharp thorns of the locust tree in a most shocking manner. We removed the string in the most careful manner, and placed the swal Jow once more upon its lacerated feet It sat panting with exertion and fright for a moment, and then, spreading its beautiful purple and black wings, sailed away in the free air ugnin, and its eompanions singing and circling about it in great glee. Hut something followed, as beautiful I in its instincts as what we have related The swnHow after a few free turn* in the air flew to a small pond of water i close by, and skimming over it, would i touch the wounded limlw in the frcsli : water. It did tliiB several times, and I aftor a thorough hydropathic exjieri nient, which, to our initio, was a deeji lesson ot natural, instinct, the bird flew away from onr sight?peidiafie to its J desertpd young, or perhajra to its dis | consulate mate. The boy?it. probably was not a man. and we know it was not a girl ?that tied tliat string to the poor little swallow, should !hj looked to by his parents, fur lie will be guilty of more i cowardly and cruel deeds, it left tc his wicked pnuiensities.

For twenty one years the Messenger has endeavored to reflect faithfully the Southern mind, while disdaining all narrow and seotional views, and has been alone among the monthlj periodicals of America in defenoe of tbo peculiar Institutions of the Southern States. To this ofIflor It will still be devoted, and will be prompt to repel assaults upon the South, I whether they come under the specious garb of fiction, or io the direct form of anti slavery pamphlets. At this critical juncture, while our enemies are employing literature as their nnwt potent weapons of attack, the Southern people will sure!? not withhold their couragemeut from'a work whose *4ih il shall be to strike blows in their defence. The Messenger will, as heretofore, pre sent its readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical Sketches, Novels, Travel* Essays, Poems, Critiques, and Papers on the Army, Navy, and other National Subjects. ' With a view to ensure a luroet circulation of the Messenger, the Proprietors, though they intend greatly increasing the size of the work, have reduced the Price of Subscription, which is now only THREE DOLLARS PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE, or Four dollars if not paid before the first of July in any year. | Oluus?Remitting us Fifteen Dollar* in one letter, will be entitled to Six Copies.?
