m mm THE LUTHERAN VISITOR, COLUMBIA, S. C„ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER.29, 1869. Poetry. _ For tho Lutheran Yiatter. “Hot How.” TSnggrated by Urn articta bearing title, m t6» Oliildren'a Department of the abore the Lstt- tbe voice of conacience, the Spirit 1 * call, In mercy U given to each and to all; It com* to the eowl from the realm* abore And woos to * baaqeet of heavenly lore. It comes to die babe in it* cradle bed. While angels are hovering over its head, Aad whispers soft in It* sleeping ear, ‘Thou ait a treasure to heaven dear. “Say wilt thou bo true to the trust that is given, And ever thus fit for the kingdom of heaven f At pure es now, and as free from guile I" And the answer it gives, it a cherub smile. It coanes again in the morning of life, To the heart still a stranger to earth's bitter strife; It comes to the child mid tho Itisa at play, And whispers, “0 give me thy heart to-dayl" Am it gently fulls on the spirit eer, The little one pauses a moment to hear; But the wing of a butterfly touches his brow, 'And rushing to grasp it, he answers, "Not Now.” It comes in youth, when the heart is gay, Aad murmurs, ‘‘Go work in my vineyard to-day; Tlw harvest is wliilc, the Laborers few. Then put in the sickle that 'a waiting for you.” At the tones of pleading, his pulses thrill, And Ire almost utters the promise, “I will;” But ambition or pleasure cheeks the vow, And the tempter .dictates—“I will, but not now." It comes to man, in the noon of bis pride, When prosperous quits of flu tune betide ; Aad eriea, "How long; unto you, O man I Shall wisdom utter her wonts in rain f ’ He listens one moment, and breathes a sigh, Perhaps casts upward a longing eye. But wealth, or feme, or an earthly love, Chain the heart that is struggling to soar above. It comes in affliction's darkest hour, When fiery trials vent their power, And its thrilling tones are more deeply felt, Yet the tire but hardens what will not melt. But si last when the flame of life barns low, And Um frosts of sge have silvered the brow, When the ‘"will o’ the wisp" that lured to destroy, lias vanished, and drain’d isqartlis last cup of joy; When tbo form totters dowu to the dark river’s shore, Where llie stem boatman waits to waft it o’er, Then die withered hands are raised in despair, And the pale Ups murmur the words of prayer. But while tho dratb-dainp moistens his brow, An answer comes from the skies—'‘Not now ; I urged tlie« oft, but. thy heart was hard, I called through Hie crevice u-hen portals were barred; I followed in mercy, time* untold, And would have gathered the© into ray fold; I stretched out my hands—but you pierced them with nails, And I trill *ot hearken now to your wail*.'’ O mortal,-the present alone is thine ; Then haste to accept the call divine, Lest at last when at heaven s portals you bow, . An answer should come from within—“Not now.” M. C. S. Lexington C. fi, & C, September Aih, 1869. ' The Family. PARENTS. Parent*: After having brought jour child to realize, to some extent at least, that by some such method as we pointed out in No. 2, of present volume, you must then en deavor to convince it of the neccttity and nature of a new heart. It must be made to see that lie- cause of its sinfulness it is really the enemy of God, and that He is augry with it every day. It must, in the simplest way possible, be made ac quainted with those foundation truths, repentance and faith. Bnt see that you attempt not this in the language of theology. To talk to a child about faith and repentance in the language in which they are de- the schools, is little better than htAalk toifc in Greek or He brew—*8lieer nonsense—they can not understand it; therefore, will not be interested, autl consequently the end aimed at, fail of accomplish ment. Draw your illustrations concern ing repentance from the every day experience of the child. Bring to its mind an Instance in which it had disobeyed and grieved its parents. Remind it of its distress and tears, in consequence of the wrongs it had done, together with its wretchedness of mind, till the kiss of reconcilia tion had been imprinted upon the cheek. Show it that as the dutiful child sorrows more because of the wrong done against its parents, than because of the punishment which may follow, so true repentance to wards God is exercised not so much in view of the wrath of God, due every violation of his law, but because of the ingratitude and base ness displayed towards God, the truest and kindest of friends. Says Barnes: “Every child re pents. Everyone liaR, at different times, felt regret for something he has done; has made confession; has resolved to transgress no more; has turned from the evil coarse.” And , this latter feature must not be over looked^ teaching children the na ture of true repentance. They must be made to feel that‘it is not enough that they are convinced of the wrong they have done j nor that they weep over it j nor yet, that they make a free and full confession of . the same ; bnt that, above all things, they turn a tray from sin. How easily Sf,. can the parent show the child that this is necessary in all cases of viola tion of his authority to prove the sincerity of the child’s grief, and that it is equally necessary to prove the sincerity of its repentance to wards God. But we need not en large. The Christian parent, alive to the salvation of the child, will not be at a loss for appropriate illustra tion on this vital point YOUTH. Hasty Words. An English huly writes in the Lou don Chrutiaa World: The evil that is in our world, that rushes down our streets, devastating .homes, ruining happiness, and lay ing waste the pleusant places, has many fountains. Sin does its dead ly work in many ways, and sorrow comes from a variety of sources. And hasty words have certainly much to answer for among the rest. We are apt to think that a word or two doc* not matter; that we need not trouble ourselves to be over-iiur ticulur as to whnt we say. But this is only one of our mauy mistakes. Words live. There is so much vital ity in them tliat they take root even uittm very unlikely soil llasty words are almost sure to have little sense nnd less kindness in them. They are not the offspring of meek and quiet spirits, but of hot, passionate tempers. “All men are liars P— Who Imt a man iu passion would have suitl that I The assertion is so sweeping anil so unjust, that if David had not prefaced it by his con fession, “I said in my haste,” we should not have understood it. Per haps the reasou why such words or' sjwken, is that the s|teaker feels him self aggrieved. We ofteu do in this life of ours; we cam wit have all we wish from our brothers awl sisters, and so we allow ourselves to grow fretful aud angry. We are unreason able enough to snjqMMe that all things should be ours, and when we flw! only a few things routing to our share, then w& become discontented and peevinh, anil speak hasty wonts, theu we say very hard things of each other, and most sinfully say, in our hearts, if not with our tongues, hard tilings of our wise and loving Father. Seeing that hnsty words are so unkind, unjust, aud untrue, how cun we prevent ourselves from uttering them, aud so escape the need of after-repentanee, which is their cou sequence T u He that belieretk thall not mute hattef Is not the secret of our impatience to be found in our lack of faith iu God ! If our hearts were stayed upon him, if we were like children resflng in our FatlierV arms, would ever}’ little thing that occurred around us have such jiower over ns I If we knew, so as to realize the fact, that nothing happens to us without his iiermission; that what seems so provoking in those who are about us would not be allowed to trouble us unless lie willed it so ; if we saw that words, trials, inconve niences, and even unkinduesses only- come to us according to his plctuv ure, surely then we should cease to be hasty! Miscellaneous. CHILDREN. A Tree Story for the Little One*. A little girl, six years old, w as one evening gently reproved by her pious mother for some of her faults during the day. She seemed very sorry anil shortly afterwards, when she was alone, some one passed by nnd heard her talking, bat in too low a tone for any one to understand what she said. Bh’ next evening, after repeating her usual prayer, at her mother’/ knee, the little girl asked earnestly, “nave I behaved lietter to-day t" Her mother answered that she was much pleased with the day’s improve meat, and hoped that her little daugh ter would always behave as well. “Then,” replied the child, “I must go and talk with God again. I told Him yesterday that I wanted to be good, and I begged Him to help me, and be has helped me all day long, so that I could not be naughty, even when I felt it in me.” Yes, dear children, the evil is in ue all the time, and it is only by God’s grace that we can subdue it. Go and talk to Him about it, and he will help you to avoid every evil way and to obey the precepts of His holy law all the days of your life.—Ucligioun Herald. 11 Mutt Pray it all out To-night.”— Confess to God every day, and yon can’t sin half so easily. Some bad boys tried to persuade a little boy to play truant. “No, no, I can not,” he said. “Why T now why t” they asked “WhyF answered the boy; “be cause if 1 do, I shall have to pray it all out at my mother’s knee to-night. “O, well,” they said, “in that case you had better not go.” Our time should be employed in helping others, or in getting good to ourselves. It is a sin to be idle. From lh« Haw York Otwarrac Around tho World. M S 11 Kit THKKK. GOING TO SALT LAKH. A very different sojourn from the one at Laramie City, of which I have spoken iu the previous letter, we have just made iu the territory sud the city of the Mormons. It is such a visit, os haviug made, we could never wish to rejvrat. In coming out of Salt Lake City, we felt very much as 1 imagine lot should have felt iu routing out of Sodom; it was but s natural impulse to shake off the dust from our feet, and to brush, the dust from our very clothes. Every one of our party, and the strangers with whom we met Iu traveling, had the stuitc emotions; alt felt relieved, as on getting out of a dark, mimtiiiutic region. UROHMING TUB MOUNTAINS, leaving Laramie City st ihm.ii oil Monday, we noon after commenced the ascent of the Rocky Mountains, which we crossed without ever reach ing them. They hud been in our sight for two days, amt we fancied that wheu wc cauie up to them, and especially wheu passing over the mighty cbaitt, we should certainly kuow it; but we kept oo one smooth ascending plane—ap|iarently an end less plateau—until we were told that we had |mssed the highest |«>mt of the Rocky Mountains reached by the railroad, which, iu reality, is not so high as a station oil the Black Hills, which we hud |tossed ou Sat unl»>. We came u|kmi no lofty |irak*—no rugged deities, until long after we I ni. I crossed the chain. It was simply s acetic of wild dewolatioo— utter barrenness—as if the soil had been created ami then cursed, that it should bring forth, nothing Imt an occasional Imncli of wiki sage, almost as dreary looking as the Itor- reu soil. No one who has not seen this purthw of the 1‘ifoiOi- Kailrusd, ami other |w>rti.sis of the great Ameriean Desert, for nearly s thou sand miles in rxteut, can farm an idea of the dreary waste tliat stretches mi, and tat, until the eye longs to rest on Mintething fresh ami green, or even u|ion a nick. Tire bills sml mountains ure usually smooth ami well rounded, but they are utterly destitute of wholesome vegetation, and as utterly withiMit attractions. A (urge jsirtion of this ilesohitc region—through tin- mlmiruhly ar ranged time-table—wc |iassc«l in the night. As the morning runic, I hung my thermometer out of the wiinlow of the ear, ami it presently fell to 42, although the ilay before and the day following it was at MS. THK GREAT BASIN. It is uot until we are far down the descent that we inhiic to anything like grundeuk iu areocry ; bnt as we appruach Urn great Balt Ireke Basin, sud enter the Echo uml the Welter canons, a stWne of wonderful mug nifieeuee opens upon us. On one sale, (the k-ft in passing westward) ail is smooth, not a ruck to be seen, although Hie mountains rise to ■ sublime height from the bed of thr Webcr River, bat the tqtposite side of the narrow deflle is coaiposed of | towering rocks, assuming all forms of magnificent proportions, some times towering np in vast precipices toward the skies, aud at others .stretching out over the road, or as siiming grotesque shapes. It was in the Echo Canon tliat Brigham Young threutemil to destroy tin’ army of General Hidney Johnson, by , rolling rocks down upon them as they marched through the namia causeway, wheu the army was scut to look after the Mormons. The passage of the river and the railroad out of this wierd region into the Balt Lake Valley is railed the Devil's Gate; and while the name was given to it on account of tho wilt! scene oat of whieli it leads, it is equally appropriate to the mural seem* into wliielt it inti-mlnces the traveler. . At Echo City, which lies between the two canons, we enter the inhabit ed port of Utah Territory autl come upon the community of the Mormons. They have almost entire possession of tins little town, ami have occu pied the narrow valley lying along the railroad ami the Weber Kiver, leading to the great basin into which we suddenly emerge through the Devil’s Gate. This gorge for merly one of the grand passR for the emigrants who traversed these western wilds, and who, after endur ing untold and unconceivable hard ships, have settled the Pacific coast. THE STAGE BIDE. Within a mile of the gate we reach Uintah station on the extreme north of the Balt Lake Basin, and at this point take the stage for Halt Late City, 35 miles distant. The road is rough—a few miles of it very stony, but ,tbe greatest inconveni ence to the passengers arises from the innumerable little streams which cross it, and which are the means of irrigating the whole eastern section of the valley. Many of these water courses are natural, but others have been made by divisions ami subdi visions, in order to cany the water to parts which could not be other wise irrigated. The htrrauia are scl (lom bridged, and the gullies made in the loose soil are a great source of discomfort to the stage traveller, to whom they prove too decidedly anti dyspeptic for s pleasure excursion. Rut the stages and horses are good, and the ride, which is accomplished within abimt five hours, is not ex cessively fatiguing. FKBTILB FIELDS. The vast mountain barrier stretch House and Farm. How to Oat a Harm. . ■ Wc are often told how to obtain a good education, bow to rise in mer cantile business, and bow quite poor lads have struggled up against many difficulties to high positious; but how ran one, with only willing hands, s brave honest heart, and trust in God, obtain a farm that will not ooly bring hint in a living, bnt secure to him s comfortable fortune f A Western lad has answered the questiou by doing tills very tiling. At sixteen, with a good, common school education, he ing ulong the eastern |tortion of the k-ft Uia lather, tn Kentucky, as he valley is an immense fountain, bail no profitable employment for streams of the purest water issuing | bim. He liiml himself to a neigh- from its sides at svery point, an<l boring farmer, the first year for only fttmishittg the means by wbk-h this I seventy dollars. Instead of expend ing his money uiton himself iu the form of clothes, or in the gratification of his ap|K-titcN, be clothed himself ilccently in cheap, home made gar ments, and loaned bis money st six |ier cent, interest. Working the next once sriil desert has been converted Into one of the most fertile plains to be found on the (ace of the continent When the Monnotns entered this valley, it was like the desolate tnoun tains over which we bad passed for baud mis of rnilra—a |»rfoct waste of year, with a liberal employer for the sand uml rage bush. Where they got their idea of making it a guidon, simply by turning the water u|mmj it, I do not know; but withiu a little more tbau twenty years from their first emigration, they have extended a line of farm* along the eastern shore of the lake, at least GO miles in extent—farms that equal in fertili ty the finest prairies of the East. Wc traversed ramie 35 miles of thesr cul tivated fields, and every mile ooly increased oar admiration of the re times, by diligently laboring morning aud evening, he was enabled to add to his education, by three months of w-hiMding, an acquaintance with the higher hrauebes of inatbeinatira amt the rudiments 4>f the lattiu language.
