T wtw not more than eight or nine year* old when the eotmtry became riotous in our neighborhood. 8t*nding at the window of our drawing-room, I saw thousands of determined men march past. My mother, a servant, and myself, were all of the family in the house at the moment; I hurried to that servant, who seemed petrified, add. leaving her, young as I was, I pushed home the outer doois. and bolitwl them. I ed again to the drawing-room ; the ioirud era were retreating. The 8 xty third Kegi menu under the JEarl of Bak-arm*. who managed *o badly in Jamaica afterward*, chaiged tlie.ri<4or* with the bayonet, and ultimately dispersed them. A second time I witnessed a similar *M?ne, when troop* and a six pnuhder loaded with gr?j?e, were drawn up under the samo window. The riot act was read. Six thousand men were demanding bread : thev committed no act* ??f violence, but need threats. R>-fu?tng ( ? reti;e. the pin was pointed into the midst of thetn, in a confined street. Match in hand, the artillery only wailed for the Word " tire." The magistrate* and military ooinmatider. n militia colonel, would have discharged the gun into the mass of human being?* before it. not a dozen yards distant from the muzzle, when the adjutant, an old cnplain in the line, interfiled, " Lower the touch-hole, for God's sake?they are all in "our power." The gun was fired. The shock struck me with fear. I thought of the mischief done. I could see but a little way up the street. Prisoner* were made ; and the rioters dispersed : a few were hurt, as the shot nearly all went over their heads, owing to thendjulaui'e interference with those to whom he had read a lesson of humanity. It was now discovered that the people were suffering in a painful manner from want. Then, as usual in England, when the mischief is done, steps wete taken to provide remedies, which, had they been taken at the time the most ordinary forecast diet tied, would liHve prevented the on I break, j and an extended feeling of discontent with j authorities* till then respected ; but that would have been styled, in those days, yield ing to |H>pnlitr clamor.?fifty Years' Jicc. You Love Me to Dearly. There ate time* when we learn a* much from our childien as they learn from us.- ? I In re is something in the miles* simplicity of childhood that proves stronger than the careworn severity of innluie years. I was silling in the piazza at evening, musing too doulufullt upon the Inline, and letting the clouds of care darken the beauty of a bril limit sunset. I will not say what burden weighed upon the spiiit, nor what doubt bad risen as t?> the course of Divine Providence. Jus: then little feet were heard, and HIV child ran gaily to my extended arms.? Catching the playful spiiit of tny little girl, I seized her iu my hands and held her over the railing, as if to let her fall. A?lonUhed at her want of fear, I a>ked, 44 What, not afraid I Why don't you cry ? Won't I let you fall!" 4> Wo, papa lave tne so dearly /" was the instant reply. 1 cannot tell what instruction distilled like cordial through rnv soul. The words of perfect confidence lingered in nay ears and entered tuy heart, ft is impossible that a father's love should lei fall the child who Ilex smiling in hut arms. IIow, liien, can the Heavenly father let fall the children who iruvt in iliro. Every douht is rebuked, and every dark foreboding put to toe blush, by the Itwaon which a child ba? uttered. Are we not the son* of Hod? And is our fu ture destiny too sublime for comprehension, so it doth not yet appear what we shall be; and still shall we fear to lie passive in our Father's Arms? (Joes lie not love us loo dearly to let ua fall ? if he did not refuse the greatest boon, but "delivered Him upfor ua all," will he not also freely give us all tilings?
