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.”

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!

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.

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.

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,

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
