So softly oat of sight She* flsatcd into light, Where, clad in purest white, She Hit* at will through Heaven’s bright bower. Shp oped her sweet, pure eyes upon this earth, - | But never felt at home; And to the jeweled dome Her heart did ever roam, With longings for the country of her birth. Too pure of heart for Sin's dark power, Ood sent an angel band To waft her to the land Beyond the finite strand, VM* now she blooms His choicest flower. She never passed the drear and darksome vale. A beam of holy light Upon her raptured sight Illumed her features bright, Aud all unheard the sound of love's sad wail. She passed not thro’ stormy waters cold, But Heaven’s favored one, All earthly sorrow done, Above the golden sun With ecstasy she soared into the fold. Children’s Department For the Lutheran Visitor. Ely ah. . MMMMI “Some time ago I told you about Elisha raising the son of the Shn- namite woman to life after be had died, and you childreu were, quite astonished,” said Mrs. B., as she •‘gain gathored her little group around her upon another pleasant evening ;“uow I will relate some thing similar that '*■ happened in Elijah's time that he spent on earth.” “Elijah! was he not the man that the Lord took away in a fiery shar iot, mother f® said Susie. “Yes, my dear; he did not die, and I wiU some time tell yon of his leaving the world in the way yon speak of,® said her mother. - “Now my story relates to a time of great distress in the land of Pales tine, ou account of the wickedness of Ahab, the king I told yon about, that killed Naboth, and took his nice vineyard for himself. Well, because be was so very bad, the Lord told Elijah to go out of the place, for he would not let there be any dew or rki» for three years.® “Didn’t everything «dry np, mo ther, and wbero did the people get foodf® said Henry. “Everything did dry and parch up under the scorching son, and the inhabitants had to send long dis tances to bqy corn, and many died, as well as vast quantities of cattle. It was a dreadful visitation of God to withhold the rain. Do yon ever think, children, when yon grumble because it rains when yon want to go out of doors, how distressing it would be if the Lord were to say: ‘These childreu complain so much about the rain that I won’t give tbept any more rain for a long time,’ and theu the pretty streams would dry up and the fountain cease to play, the dowers and grass tarn to hay, and we should die of famine! for no grain or fruit could come to perfection.® “Oh, I should not like that a bit; I didn’t think of the consequences yesterday when I said I wished that it wouldn’t ever rain again,® said Basie. “It is a fine thing that God don’t act according to people’s wishes; there would be a terrible state of afluirs if he did. Bat to return to Elijah. God sent him out into a wild place where there Was a stream called Cheritb, and hid him so no body could find him. Then God caused some ravens to take him bread and flesh in the morning, and also iu the evening. The ravens are large birds that resemble the crow very much, only they are a great deal larger. They are always pick ing np what they see, aDd flying away to hide it, and so they were told by God to take Elijah the bread and meat. So the prophet lived until the stream dried up too, for as there was uo rain, the springs that supplied the stream became dry, aud of course there was then no more water for Elijah to drink. Then the Lord told him, to go to a town called Zarephath and live, and that he had directed a widow woman who lived there to take care of him. So Elijah went to the town, and when he came ‘to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman picking up some ’sticks, and he called to her and said: ‘Won’t you give me a little water to drink V and as she started off to get it, he said: ‘Bring me, I pray yon, a morsel of bread, too.’ Then she said: ‘As the Lord liveth, I haven’t a bit of bread left; I have a little meal and a little oil left in the cruse (which is a kind of bottle), and that is all, and I was now trying to pick a few sticks, so as to make a fire and bake a cake for my sou and myself, that wre may eat it and then die.’ Theu Eiyah knew that this was the widow the Lord meant, and he said : ‘Fear not; go and do as yon intended to, and bake a cake, aud make me a little cake first and bring it to me, and after that make one for yourself and your sou ; for the Lord God has said to me that your barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall you fail to always have oil in yonr cruse, until he sends rain again.’ ® “I know she wns glad to hear that,® said George. “Oh, yes, indeed, and she be lieved it; for she ran right away and baked a cake of bread as quick as she could, and the meal did not waste iu the barrel, nor did the oil grow less; every time she went to make bread, there was plenty of meal aud oil. That was a miracle, of course, and done by tho Lord because she kept Elijah from starv ing. She and her family had plenty, also. . “Oue day, however, her son got very sick and died, and she went to Elijah aud told him that her son was dead! Then Elijah said : ‘Give thy son to me;’ aud he took the boy up to his own room, and he pra3*ed to the Lord, and said: ‘O Lord my Godl hast thou also brought evil npou the widow that is so kind to me, by slaying her son f Then he stretched himself on the body of the child three times, aud cried to God and said: *1 pray thee let this child’s soul come back to its body.’ And the Lord heard Elqab, and let the soul of the little boy return again, aud the prophet took hiut .down stairs to his mother and made her heart rejoice, and she said: ‘Now I know that thou art a man of God, aud that the word of the Lord is in thy inoath.' Then the prophet staid with her for the whole time that the famine was in the laud, and they all had enoagli to eat.® “Why don’t the Lokl let the souls of children come back now after they die, mother F’ “Because the time of miracles is passed, aud a miracle wus always wrought to couflrm some truth. Note we are folly instructed by the Bible, and don’t ueed miracles. This one was perforated to prove to the wo man that Elijah wfis a prophet of the Lord, and that what be had fore told would come to pass.® B. That was have heard ERAN VISITOR. COLUMBIA, S. 0.,- OCTOBER 18, 1872. Miscellaneous. Whose Fault ? “Here, Edward, go hang m> your cap this minute; and Mary/1 tell yon, you inustuot do that; and dear me, Henry, you have not carried that package to the store, or was it to go to the express office? I declare I have forgotten what your father said. You children keep np such a noise that you drive me distracted.® And the poor mother sighed as if all the discomfort and annoyances of disorderly and undisciplined house hold should be laid at the children’s door. In the leisure and stillness of the afternoon, when the children had gone to spend the half holidny with their grandmother, she took her sew- ing and went to sit with a neighbor in whose home there was always a restfnl, blithe atmosphere, as if all the machinery worked without fric tion, thdugh the house was full of healthy, wide-awake childreu. There was very little appearance of author ity, aud the must and must noty which were so often on Mrs. L’s tongue, were seldom heard there. “How do you secure such prompt and cheerful obedience to yonr slightest directions I® asked Mrs. L., contrasting the scene with that in her own home. “There is a great difference in children, I believe. Mine always seemed possessed to do the wrong thing, and are al ways stirred up into all kinds of mischief. Aud I believe they all have dreadful tem pers.® “My children are all healthy, and as I try to keep them busy in one way or another, they find vent for their activity. You know it is the ‘idle hand’ that gets into mischief.® “But you don’t make them work all the time !® “OU! no, they don’t work much, except some simple tasks that 1 re quire every day, in order to give them habits of steadiness and regu larity ; but they are always occupied in something, mostly play.® “But how do yon secure such prompt and cheerful obedience ?” “I endeavor to make ray child un derstand clearly what I require of him, and pat him in a condition to use his faculties freely and in the best way. I find that my owu failure to do a required thing often arises from the lack of a clear comprehen sion of what I am to do, and how to do it, or because my power of doiug is restricted by circumstances or per sonal conditions. So, instead of as saining that my child’s failure will always arise from a disobedient tem per, I consider that he, too, may find the same difficulties, and I take care to make it possible and easy for him to obey me.® sensible mother. I — fathers, mothers and teachers give/ a child so contrary and indefinite an onjer that an older brain could hardly understand what was the precise thing to be done, or the command would bo given in such a tremendously authoritative tone ami gjtirit that the child would almost lose his wits, if not grown callous under it. There should Ik? a clour, definite expression of what is required, aud tho child’s attention must be scoured, so that he shall really hear it. The habit of listening with eye aud ear should be early formed. Especial care should bo taken of the manner aud tone of voice in any exercise of authority over a child. A harsh, peremptory coiumaud excites opposi tion and willful resistance. Stern ness and severity frighten the child into confusion and inefficiency. An abrupt, loud-voiced teacher startles aud then hardens the scholar. Some persons seem to have the faculty of rousing all that is evil in a child by their mistakeu methods of govern ment. The disobedience or insubor dination can hardly bo charged a a the child’s fault. “Fathers, provoke not your chil dren,® is just os much a precept of Holy Writ, as “children, obey vonr parents;® and the principle involved runs through all the relations be tween childreu aud those set in authority over them. “l*ot yourself in his place,” should be whispered iu the ear of every one having the cure of children. Let us think with tlieir umlevclojied powers and limited knowledge; feel with their tender sensibilities and eager desires ; anticipate with their bonud- less hope aud vivid imagination; aud cry with tlieir bitter disappoint ments. Mother, father, teacher, ad just yourself to the level of your child’s eye, limit yourself to his nar row range of vision, and you will find yourself fiiser and tenderer in your commands, aud his obedience more prompt and affectionate. “Take heed that ye offend not one of these little ones,” is the Master’s injunc tion. In our larger plans aud wider spheres of work, we are apt to over look our relations to those “whose augels do always behold the face of our Father.® While swiugiug the luimuiei against tho granite block, we may shatter the delicate vase of rare workmanship. Whoever speaks to a child, touches a cord that vibrates with answering tone. . It is a ’trifling question whether we make mnsic or discords, since the sound may. come back to our ears far down in the* ages to come ?—Christian at Work. Woman's Work ■ .V 1 17 The daily routine of Inevitable work which falls upon the wife who would keep home ootuforuble aud pleasant, is so tedious aud wearying to most women, that it is a cruelty and folly to demand. any more from them. “Mau’s work is from sun to sun, but woman’s work is never done,” is one of those true old say ings which demonstrates itself to every observer. Where human be ings live, dirt accumulates with great rapidity; dirt—that enemy of com fort, breeder of unmentionable in sects, generator of peatilcnce aud death—needs to be constantly ex punged with broom and duster, with soap and sand aud hot water, with scrubbing* aud scourings aud wash ings, until the woman is disgusted with the petty cares aud toils, the weary steps aud frequent distrac tions of housekeeping, aud ueed not be blamed if she lougs for more agreeable, less monotonous, aud bet ter paid employment. But what shall she do T Is there an] trade or employment uuder the sun that is uot mgpotoudu* ? Does uot every man who works, from the preacher to the stteet-sweeper, needs do the same things every day, day after day, until facility* and ease in doing them is acquired; aud wheu he has reached this point, does he not need to continue doing the same things every day, day after day, that he may earn a living by his work ? This constant and ujivaryiug repeti tion is very wearying to woman be cause of her extreme uervous suscepti bility; her nature demands variety mid frequent changes. The records of tusane asylums show that too much monotony of work and thought is a frequent cause of insanity in woman. There is certainly uo profession which gives such variety of occupation, and is so capable of beiug made by a woman of taste aud cultivation an agreeable and pleasant employment, as the profession of house keeping. The poorest woman may beuefit soci ety by faithfully doiug her duty here —and the richest — ah! there, in scarcely a limit to her possibilities.—- Science of Health. Clergymen ! Sore Throat. We have communications asking advice ou this subject. The minis terial malady seems to be on the in. crease. There are several causes why clergymeu are more subject to the “throat-ail® then are lawyers, legislators, lecturers, siugers, drama! isU mid other talking personages. The clergyman leads a more seden tary life. He is more in doors. He is more con lined to his desk in calcu luting Ills labors and arranging his sermons. Moreover, clergymen, as a class, are reckless iu the matter of hygienic habits. This is not so mncU because they arc not intelligent with respect to health conditions, as it is because they have little self-owner ship. They are liable to be called away any inoincut, aud to be requir ed to do extra duty at homo at any moment. Ilencc they are usnally too busy with other subjects to at tend to health matters, even if they have time to study them. They are apt to interpret the injunction of the Apostle, “Take no heed of what ye shall eat, drink, or put on,® too liter ally. They may have a wholesome regard for what they put ou, because selecting or beiug measured for a suit of clothes, or for clothes enough to last: a year, only requires a few minutes. But easing aud exercising take time ; and so does the prepara tion for them. 8o does the prepara tion after them. If the hurried min ister undertakes to digest his text for the next sermon while he is eat ing his dinner, he will certainly not digest the dinner iu the best manner, whatever may happen to the text. He cannot live a “fast life® with im punity more thau others. Ministers should have a play ground, or play room—some sort of a gymnasium, with a museum at tached of pictures, or objects of natural history or art. These would induce them to exercise regnlarly and compel them to sec something in teresting while cxercisiug, so they should not lose the benefit of the ex ercise by studying theology mean while. It should be a religions duty with them to spend half an hour be fore each meal, and an hour after, iu the museum, when not otherwise pleasantly exercised. They shonld at all events have something to see, to do, or to suffer, that would pre vent study for certain hours of each day.—From Science of Health. Extemporising Good speaking is better than good reading. Preachers especially should be free from the trammels of parclq uieut. Tbeir message is direct, per sonal, to the conscience, the heart aud will, and calls for immediate actio u. Success depends more npon convincing the jwdgincnt, moving the feelings, inspiring enthusiasm, thau upon gratifying the taste. Their theme demands strength, warmth, persuasiveness, more than artistic finish, and these are attained in ex temporaneous speaking more perfect ly than in reading. Educated miuds are strongly tempted to sacrifice force to finish; they delight iu finely- turned sentences, well wrought fig ures, beautiful tropes and similes, and are reluctant ta sacrifice them to force aud warmth. But common, active, worldly men are not fastidi ous. They call for substance, aud arc more affected by stroug, direct presentation of facts and logicr than beauty of expression; they think more of the keenness of the blade tliau the ornament of the hilt, or the flash of the |K>lislicd surface. Preach ers of the Gospel are sent to con vince, iMsrsnade, convert; aud the more directly their thoughts aud feelings are pressed upon their hear ers tho more successful they will be iu their efforts, the more converts will they make. But many find ik difficult to speak well. Indeed, vc»$* few can do so without careful uffd incessant dis cipline and drill. Yet those who have talent enough to write a ser mon can become accomplished speak ers if they will devote as much time aud labor to it as they do to style and force in writing. No man be comes a good writer without effort, and in most cases it costs an im mense amount of hard work to at tain to tolerable skill. We ex{>ect to work for ability to write well; why should we uot work equally hard to become effective speakers ? Many too readily coucladc that they can not succeed, ah^l lienee neglect to use the menus of success and plead that thej- are obliged to write and read if they preach at all.— Whereas if they would work as hard and long, and constantly to develop power to speak as they do to write they would soon excel in this noblest aud most natural method of utter ance. The power of sjieech is tho glory of man, and none should ndinit inability to learn to s|>eak well. Home-lUd« Fertilisers. To a good fanner it is a luxury to have a good heavy crop of any kind of vegetable growth to'turn under iu plowing a field for a crop. The barbarous practice of firing a stubble field to clear the way for the plow, is, we are glad to know, only con tinued by barbarians. Sometimes the savagery of firing a straw-stack to dear it away is seen, but that depth of reckless ignorance is rare. The difficulty in procuring fertilisers in sufficient quantities, at a cost within the limits of the farmer’s parse, or labor, is becoming each year more serious. Any information that will lead to a greater suooess in this difaction will be valuable. for fall crops, the best tum-uuder is, of coarse, clover; but this takes a year’s growth. The only hint wo can give iu regard to this is that the clover field should not be (Matured early iu the spring. I set the plants get a good start—they should have to the first of Juue, at least, to grow undisturbed; by that time they will be so far ahead of the cattle aud hogs that pasturing will not mate rially reduce the quantity. We see it advocated to sow a wheat or bar ley field in the spring with clover for turning under iu the fall, but the growth is so small in that time that we do not believe it will pay. For the corn crop the best turn under is rye. Sow in the fall, uot later than the first of September. Even in light prairie lands it will stand the winter sufficiently well. If too rank, it can be kept down by pasturing. The stalk blades and | roots are rich in saccharine matter, and haying all the elements of corn, is an admirable feeder of the young corn-plants. The farmer who can whirl under a heavy croj) of rye in April will be pretty snre of a heavy erop of corn. Aside from this, it pays excellently as an early spring pasture. For the more concentrated in a uures every fanner has large re sources of his owu. A place shonld be act apart for the reception of the remains aud carcasses of all animals slaughtered or dyiug upon the farm. Tho point selected should not be subject to washing from rain. The hair aud all offal of )iork or beef should be gathered up and deposited in this compost heap and covered with earth. Dead animals should be buried in it If they are left upon the surface nearly the whole mass is dissipated iu uoxiotis gases. If covered with a few inches of loam these are absorbed by it, and the whole mass becomes the richest ma nure, not odorous or in auy way nn- ptenauut to handle. The bones will not yield their nutriment to plants so readily as if they were pulverised, but that is a small matter; get them under the surface in your fields, and the crops will use them np. The roots of auy growing plant will seek out a boue if withiu reach and twine around it, and soon extract the phos phates and other soluble substances from it. A straw-stack cau be reduced to mauur© rapidly by cartiug a few loads of earth upon it, ami by making it possible for the farm-stock to get upon the top of it. The earth will keep it wet and hasten decom position, and the stock will soon tiample it level with the gronnd. It should be a rule that fire should not be applied to auy vegetable sub stances in the fields. The little ex tra trouble in getting them under is well repaid by the additional rich ness they give to the soil.

For wiutor feeding we preserve all roots iu pitB—uot monads, as made iu some localities—narrow pits after this fashion: Select a suitable spot, near the stables if practicable, but surely where the drainage is good, an iudispeusabie prerequisite; dig a trench sixteeu inches wide, aud as many or more inches in depth, the length us conveuieut or necessary.
