The Thoughts of Heron.
So siukmre there—
No wepry wasting of the frame away ;
No fearful shri king from the midnight sir;
No dread <t ssmmer'a bright and fbnrtd ray.
No liiddoo grief-e-
No wild and cheerless vision of despair;
BS1 No vain petitions far a swift relief;
No teorfttl^jes, no broken hearts are thorel
Care has na borne
Within the realm ofeeasdew praise and song!
Its billows break away aad molt in foam,
far Iran the mansions «f the spirit throne.
The alsrm'a black wing
Is never spread athwart celestial skies'
Its waflfags Mend not with the voice of spring,
As some too tender floweret fades and dies!
Ko night distils
Its chilling dews upon the tender Basse;
No moon is needed there ! the Ugld which dlls
Tint land of glory, from its Maker, came!
No parted friends
O ar mournful recollections have to weep,
No bed ef death enduring love attends,
To watch the coming of a pulseless sleep.
No blasted flowers,
Or withered bod, celestial gardens know;
Ko scorching blast ar fierce, daaeeadiug shower
Scatters destruction like ruthless foe.
No battle word
Startles the sacred heat with fear and dread;
The song of peace, creation's morning heard.
Is sung wherever angel minstrels tread.
Let us depart,
If borne like this await the weary soul I
Look up, thou stricken one! Thy wounded heart
Stall bleed no more at sorrow’s stem control
With faith, our guide.
White robe and innocent to load the way.
Why fear to plunge in Jordan's rolling tide,
Aad find the ocean of eternal day ?

Snubbing & President
\
General Grant Refuxex to Eat Hix
Kreakfaxt at a Faxhionable Restau
rant becau.ee He can't get a Pl icate
Roam.
A WashingtoJl-ti'Jegram, of Thurs
day, to the New York Herald, says:
The White House is in a topsy
turvy condition just now, and their
servants, in imitation of their master
and mistress, are taking fMHittle
recreation. When the President ar
rived this mom in", his reception
was* rather eool and disheartening,
after lionizing at Long Branch. At
eight o’clock he sallied forth, like an
ordinary government clerk, in search
of his breakfast. He was resolved
fto patronize one of the fushionubcl
establishments, probably with a view
to a getting a breakfast that would
remind him in some degree of Long
Branch. He hauled up at Welker’s,
which Ls a short distance from the
White House. The President was
on foot, nnd was dressed as usual in
» black slab-tailed flock coat, and a
tall; black stove-pipe hat. Going np
the steps, he looked in at the dining
room, where a gentleman was sitting
at breakfast. Grant had a bewilder
> e«l air about him, as if lie hall got
into the wrong shop.
“Good morning, General,” said the
gentleman ut breakfast, recognizing
him.
Grant nodded mechanically, and
muttered something that sounded
like “Good morning,” all the time
keeping his eyes at work, as if look
ing for a place to sit down. Finally
be went np to the desk of the restau
rant and accosted the genius who
“takes your money.”
Grant. “I want a private room and
breakfast as quick as possible.”
Peter. (Eyeing the General nar
rowly, as if to measure the length of
his parse.) “Yon can’t have a private
room here, Rir. There’s the dining
room,” pointing to the room where
the gentleman already mentioned
was quietly enjoying his beefsteak
nnd coffee.
The President looked eonfuseil and
astonished at the idea of his not
lieing considered good for his break
fast like any other man. He at once
turned and beat a rapid retreat ont
of the house, evidently disgusted
with his reception. When he had
gone, the gentleman in the dining
room called Peter, and inquired if he
knew who that person was.
Peter. “Vo, #ir.”
Gentleman. “Peter, that is Presi
dent Grant,”
. Peter, “The d—1, you say.”
Gentleman. “Yes, indeed.”
Peter. “Why don’t he come like a
gentleman in a carriage, and not like
an an old shoemaker with his Sunday
clothes on! How did I know lie had
money enough to pay for a private
room and his breakfast!”
The gentleman who seems to have
seared Grant on* of the dining-room,
and, per consequence, out of bis break
fast, is a well known Uadical politician
and author, who was the intimate
friend of Presidents Pierce and Bn-
chanan, and one who has dined and
breakfasted, with some of the
men in his day. A wag who was at
hand suggested that hereafter when
the President is lying around loose in
jjearch of-his breakfast, he should
have a label to his coat, with the
, inscription, “I am Grant, President
On a certain Saturday night the
clerics of the Bank of Knglund could
not make the balance conic out ttobt
by just one hundred pound*. "Ws
is a serious matter in that ostaldish
ment—not the cash, but the discrep
ancy, however slight. An error in
the balancing has lieen known to
keep a delegation of clerks from
each department at work sometimes
through the whole night A hue
and cry, therefore, was made after
this one hundred pninds, as if the
old lady in Thread-nmlle street
would be in the Gazette as an in
solvent for the'want of it. Luckily,
on the Sunday morning following,
the clerk, in the middle of the sermon,
perhaps, felt a suspicion of the truth
dart through his mind quicker than
a lightning Hash. He told the chief
cashier, on Monday morning, that
IKTliajis the mistake might Uuve
occurred in packing some boxes of
specie for the West Indies, which
had been sent to Southampton for
shipment. The suggestion was im
mediately acted upon. Here was u
race—lightning ugainst steam, and
steam with a start of forty-eight
hours. Instantly the wires asked
whether such a vessel had “left tin 1
harbor.” “Just weighing anchor,”
was tlie reply. “Stop her,” frantic
ally shouted the telegraph. It was
done. “Have up on deek certain
boxes, marked so and so, ami weigh
them carefully.” They were weighed;
and one, the delinquent, was found
heavier by just one (uu-ket of a
hundred sovereigns than it ought to
be. “Let her go," soys the myste
rious telegraph. The West India
folks were debited with just one
hundred imiiuuIm more, ami the error
was correeti'd without looking into
the boxes, or deluying the voyage
un hour.
“ You ought to acquire the faculty
of being at home in the best society,’
'said a fashionable aunt to an honest
nephew. “I manage that easily
euough,” mummied the nephew, “ by
staying at home with my wife and
children.”
Parents’ Department
Parents : Though you may shrink
from the work which we have ma|e
ped out before you, becanae of its
greatness, yet it is not so difficult,
relying on the proffered help of the
Holy Spirit, ns many suppose. If
parents an' alive to the salvation,
the early salvation of their children,
many favorable opimrtuidties will
present themselves, which, if seized,
may lead to the most beneficial n'
suits.
To illustrate our meaning : After
the child has recovered from a fit of
passion, and the sun light of ]ieacc
aiul love again beam from its soul,
take it upon your knee, and, in gen
tle tones, ask it if it does not know
that it is wrong to iplulge the
passion of anger T The answer, iu
all eases in which the child has en
tirely recovered from its angry mood,
and not till then should it ever lie at
tempted, will be an affirmative one.
Then, with so much ground gained,
in a manner suited to its age and
capacity, seek to show it that it has
offended God, and if so, then it 1ms
/tinned ; for nothing but tin can dis-
pleaac Him ; and if it 1ms sinned,
then it is a tinner ; and, if a sinner,
it is guilty in God’* sight, and needs
pardon in order to lie restored to His
favor and- love.
Here the parent may illustrate his
or her meaning, by calling up to its
mind some past offence against its
parent, telling it to reuiemlicr how
unhappy it was till it had sought and
obtained their forgiveness. In this,
or some similar way, children, when
very young, may practically under
stand tlmt—
A youth of eighteen or nineteen
years sat at on open window—a look
of painftd perplexity in his face, up-
Xiarently occasioned by a letter he
held in his hand. . After sitting thus
fur some mi mites, ho muttered to
himself:
“ Yes, I must go; if I don’t Brown
and Smith will lie laughing at me,
and call me righteous overmuch;
and after all, there’s uo great harm
in it, for I’ll go to church in the
morning, and it’s only to tie a sail
down the river and s|iend the day in
the country,”
Still, lie pressed his hand on his
foreliesid for uu instunt, then rising
hastily, he said:
“ There is no uso bothering about
it; I must go.”
As lie rose, his eye lighted on the
setting sun, and us it. did so his
w hole expression changed ; a sweet,
yet sad look played on bis face—his
thoughts were elsewhere—another
seene Was liefore his eyes. The dark
street hail «lisap|ieaml, and in its
stead n nest country cottage had
risen. In thought lie was there.
Ow-e more he saw the hills that row
near that cottage disir; once mote
the blue waters of the lake glistened
before liim; once more he *ut in the
cottage garden with his widowed
mother and watched the setting
sun.
Once more that mother’s words
sounded in liis cars—“ John, don’t
forget your God, and He’ll not forget
you. - Itemeiulier the Sabi Kith day,
to keep it holy.’ Though sinners
entice you to break it, consent thon
not. O, w hen you’re tempted to do
wrong don’t forget to pray! Never
let the sun go down on a prayerifsn
day. May the Gist of the fatherless
guide you—may the Isird Jesus Is*
your Saviour !*
Yes, six month* had (ntssi-d since
he heard these words, ami yet they
secim-d to sound in bis ears. Tears
filled his eyes; and rising, lie folded
his hands and kneeled in prayer;
then taking up his |a>n, he wrote
thus; _ £
“Thanks, Bmvrdffor your invita
tion; hut I can not accept it. My
dnty to God is to obey His com
mauds; and He hath said: • Rcmeni-
lier tin' Snlilmth day, to keep it holj.’
8|iemllug tlie ilay in idle pleasure is
not doing this; and I wish yon
would think over the subject. and not
go yourself.”
llow great is the iatliiehre of a
pious mother's Word*, llow wonder
ful the uttswi-rs to her earnest
prayers.
Children'8 Department
A Little Gentleman.
“ Thoir nature'» totally depraved,
Tlte heart a sink of mu."
pf the United States.”
Many parents err, not in that they
do not press the subject upon the
minds of their children, bat in the
manner of doing it.
They go abont it in a wrong spirit,
or at wrong anti unsuitable times.
Their whole conrse is such as to
make the subject one of t^sgust to
their children. To send for the min
ister, and, with the children cooped
up in the room m In a sort of prison,
teit him to talk to them, for they are
getting so had, &o.., Is the surest way
to defeat the end in view. In like
manner to wait until they have done
wrong and worried yon, anti then in
this frame of mind, set to and read
them a long lecture about their wick
edness, is only to put them on the
defensive, and to array them against
the truth. Religion can’t lie scolded
into children or poured down their
throats) willing ,or unwilling, ns you
do a nauseous laqdicfae. If parents
neglect to Instruct and teach their
moral truth till they get
info S passion, and then, with violent
gestures and angry tones, seek to
win them to duty and piety, they
must not be surprised if their chil
dren' grow up, not only with no lore
for religion, lmt with a decided
arerxion to it,

Teach yoar Children how to Pray.
Tlie Rev. J. Ityle, s]K-akitig on this
subject, says t
If jus love your children, do all
thut lies in your power to train them
up to a habit of prayer. Show them
how to liegin. Tell them what to
say. Encourage tlieiti to |x*racvere.
Remind them of It if they become
careless tlr slnck about it.
This, n-meinlier, is the first step in
religion which a child is able to take.
Long liefore he can read, yon can
teach him to kneel liy his mother’s
side, and repent the simple words of
prayer and praise which she puts in
his month. Beware lest they get
into a hasty, careless and irreverent
manner. Never give up the over
sight of this matter to servants or
nurses, or to your children when left
to themselves.
Tliat mother dowries no praise
who never looks after this most ipi-
IKirtant part of her' child's daily life
herself. Mothers, surely if there be
any habit which your own hand ami
eyes should help in forming, it is the*
habit of prayer.
If you never hear your children
pray yourself, you nre much to blame.
You are little wistw than the bird de
scribed in Job, “ which Ieaveth her
eggs in the earth, und warmctli them
in the dust, and forgetteth that the
foot may crush them, or that the
wild beast may break them. 8he is
hardened against her young ones, us
though they wen-not hers; her labor
is in vain without fear."
l’ru.ver is, of all habits, the one we
redolleet tht* longest. Many a grey
headed man could tell you how his
mother used to make him pray in the
days of childhood. Otlipr things
have passed away from his mind,
perhaps. Tig* church wlierc he was
taken to worship, the ministers
whom lie heard preach, the compan
ions who used to play with him—all
these, it may lie, have passed from
his memory and left no mark behind.
But you will often find it far different
with the first prayers. He will often
tie able to tell you where he first
knelt, and what he was taught to
say, and how his mother looked all
tlie while. It will come up as fresh
before liis mind's pye as if it was but
yesterday.
Reader, if you love yotir children,
I charge you, do not let tlie need
time of a prayerful habit pass away
unimproved. If yon train yotir chil
dren to anything, train them, at least,
to the habit of prayer.

Do yon think the Junior Editor has
forgotten his little friends, that he
has not written to them mi long t If
you do, you are very much mistaken;
fur he often thinks of you, and
wishes I hi lmd time to talk more with
you. Children nre of too much im
portance iu this world to lie forgot
ten, or treated with indifference.
They are I be spice of life ; without
them we older people would get so
crabbed, and xnllen, and good-for-noth
ing, that wo would not lie fit to live.
No; though you may think some
time* that you are of uo value, uitd
wonder wliut you are here for, yet,
rest assured thut you are larger,
judghig from tlie good you do, than
you seem. We said that without
you the older ones would get mi
cruhtied mid cross-grained that there
woitld lie no living with them. Hut
this is not all. Without children
grown np iieraous would get so
tricked that God would destroy the
world liecjuise of it. But little chil

Men can never fm get, no matter bow

ilren, that they ar i- not fit for beaveu.
They see mimcthing in the child with
regard to which the Huviour said,
“Of such is the kingdom of heaven,"
that they feel they lack. And this
very thought, I’tough it may not load
them to Iw-gin a new life, often does
keep them from growing worse.

A Parable.
“O, dear! I sm mi timl of Sunday !”
So said Willie, u playful little* boy
who wa;< longing fin* the Sabbath to
tie over, that he might rctuni to his

“WIhi wants t«> hear a story T" said
a kind friend who was present. “I
sir," “and I," “and I," said tin' chil
dren, ns they gathered around him.
Then lie told them u jumble. Our
Saviour, when he was on earth, oftou
taught the people by (Kimbles.
The parable told tlie little boys,
was of a kind man w ho had some
very rich nppb*s hanging ti(sm a tree.
A (Ksir man was (Kissing by the
house of the owner, ami stopped to
admire this lH'untiftd apple tree. He
counted these rip«‘, golden pippins—
there were just seven of them. The
rich owner could afford to give them
away; ami it gn >e liim so much
pinnro to nuike this poor man hap
py t^at lie culled him, aud said:
“My friend, l will give yon a part
of tny fruit.” So he held nut his hand
and received six of the apples. The
owner had kept one for himself.
Dy you think the poor man was
grateful for his kindness! No, indeed.
He wanted the seven iii|i(iins all for
himm*lf; and at last, lie made up his
mind that he would watch his oppor
tunity, and go back und steal the
other apple.
“Did ho do that f" said Willie,
very indignant. “Ho ought to have
been ashamed of himself; ami I ho]s‘
he. got well punished for stealing
that apple.”
“How many days are tliore in a
week, Willie T said his friend.
“Seven,” said Wjllie, blushing
deeply; for now lie begun to under
stand the parable, and lie felt an
uneasy sensation nt liis heart—con-
science Iw-gun to \vhispcr to him,

“It does not signify," said the other

“No,” replied Charlie; “the worst

away, or romped tdiout the room in
a noisy nuinncr. I have seen lioys
do such things, to the mortification
of their mothers mid the annoyance
of visitors. Hut my little gentleman
had a higher sense of honor and duty.
I saw him give up a plaything to his
sister, and quiet her when she became
noisy. He sat down by tlie lathy on
the dour, and showed her pictures till
site was tired of looking at them;
then he got sotre wooden animat.*,

Bowtsl logs anil knis-kiug kneeti are
among the commonest deformities of
Immunity; anil wise mothers assort
that the crookedness in either ease
arises from the afflicted one having
been put iqion his or lier feet too
early in babyhood. Bnt a Manches
ter physician, Dr. Crompton, who has
watched for tlie true cause, thinks
differently. He attributes tht^nrst
mentioned distortion to a habit some
youngsters delight in of rubbing the
sole of the foot against that of the
other; some will go to sleep with the
soles pressed together. They appear
to enjoy the contact only when the
feet are naked; they don’t attempt
to make it when they are socked or
slip]iered. Ko the remedy is obvious
—keep the baby’s soles covered.
Knocking knees the doctor ascribes
to a different childish habit, that of
sleeping on the side with one tleg
tucked into the hollow behind the
other. He has found that where one
leg has lieen bowed inwards more
than the other, the patient has alwuyts
slept on one side, nnd the np(ier4osr
member has been the most deformed.
Here the preventive is to pad the
inside of the knees so as to keep them
apart »nd let the limbs grow freeJy
their own way.
