"IF." -o If, sitting with this little worn-out shoe And scarlet stocking lying on my knee, I knew the little ieet had pattered through The pearl-set gates that lie 'twist heaven and nae, I could be reconciled and happy, too. And look with glad eyes toward the Jasper Sea. If, in the morning, when the song of birds Reminds me of a music far more sweet, I listen for bis pretty, broken words And for the music of bis dimpled feet, I could be almost happy, though I heard Ko answer, and but saw his vacant scat; I could be glad, if, when the day is done, And all its cares and heart-aches laid away, I could look westward to the hidden sun, And, with a heart full of sweet yearning, say, "To-night Fm nearer to my little one By just the travel of a single day." If I could know those little feet were shod Ia sarj?is, wrought of light in better lands. And that the footprints of a tender God Ran side by side with his, in golden sands, I could bow cheerfully and kiss the rod, Since Benny was in wiser, safer bands. If he were dead, I would not sit to-day And stain with tears the weesock on my knee, I would not kiss the tiny shoe, and say, "Bring back again my little boy to mel" I would be patient, knowing'twas God's way, And wait to meet him o'er death's silent sea. Bat 0 ! to know the feet, once pore and white, | The haunts of-vice have boldiy ventured in ! I The hands that should have battled for the | right _ # ? Have been wrung crimson in the clasp of sin.! And should he knock at heaven's gate to- j night, j I fear my boy could hardly enter in. The Kingdom of Silence. In the hush of the soul, when the | thoughts go down and take hold of deeper and more solemn truth, we ire- J member that there is a kingdom where j no footstep is heard, though it is peopled ? .with all the millions who once lived and j loved and labored. And what a dread- j ful thought! Once they^ were here, t We knew th?m and- loved them ; but they have passed into the Kingdom of ? Silence. No echo comes up from the ? ?herisbed voices, and memory, like a | pale mourner, sits brooding over the ! past. But they come no more, nor is j there any awaking. Silence, awful and j profound, seems brooding over all. Dreams of other days flit across our j fancy, but the dreams themselves are silent, saving the heart-throbs they provoke. iNo thought nor device can penetrate the absolute mystery of this i seeming eternal silence. And as the generations are born, they pass away to make room for others, and enter the portals to the Kingdom of Silence. It is there that our voices of murmuring or of rollicking merriment ?hall all alike be hushed. It is not -4*ke the silence of night, broken at in? tervals by dissonant sounds ; it is not like the silence of the forests, relieved | by the falling of a leaf ; it is not like j the silence of a- deep cave, where one's own echoing voice comes back to him ; but it is the silence of the sepulchre. O'ye maddening, impetuous throng, ye j shall all be silent-the song shall be j hushed, the lute-string severed, and in ! the Kingdom of Silence life's tumult j and toil shall sink into the silence of j -rest; j Ia an old scrap-book, treasured through j years, there is a page well fingered, con? taining a little poem. It is the child of genuine genius and breathes forth the inspiration' of true poetry. One is j .dying. By his bedside stands the chief tfiol of his soul. As the life-light flick? ers and goes down, he says ..0 I come not ia tears to my ton:b, Nor plant with frail flowers the sod ; -*** There is re-1 among roses too sweet for its gloom, And lite where the lilies eternally bloom, In the balm-breathing gardens of God. "Yet deeply those memories burn, Which bind me to you and to earth, And I sometimes have thought my being weald ; yearn, j In the bowersof the beautiful acme, to return, | And visit the home of its birth. ** 'Twould even be pleasant to stay, And walk by your side to the last ; But the land-breeze of heaven's beginning to i play, Life's sbadows are meeting eternity's day, f And its tumult is hushed in the past. .'Leona ! good-bye ; should the grief That is gathering now, ever be Too dark for your faith, you will long for j relief ; j And remember the journey, though lonesome ; and brief, ? Over lowland and river to me." And thus as the great procession j sweeps along, a farewell here and a tear j yonder, we can only know they are en- j tering the Kingdom of Silence where the hush comes down upon them. It is there that life's volume is ended and laid aside. The dust of eternal ages gathers upon it, and it has all the seem? ing of being forever closed. But the silence shall be broken, and we who -'Sigh for the touch of a vanished hand And the sound of a voice that is still," shall yet find that even this dream of ? death can be interpreted, and that these j hushed ones can meet us with kisses j from lips that move and speak and are warm with the fresh gush of eternal life. To the mind of the heathen, in old times, futurity was like a chaos-fath? omless, empty, void. The poets sang of Elysian fields and Tartarean punish? ments ; but these were rather regarded as the ravings of ardent imaginations. . Who docs not pity the genius of the immortal Homer, laboring under the pressure of this mournful ignorance, trying to carry the torch of reason into the world of spirits, only to have it ex? tinguished by the shadows of death. They could not credit the immortality of the soul, nor did they ever dream that he who first constructed this ma- j chine and took it to pieces, could put it : together again and frame it for im mor- j tality. This was an idea so totally j novel K> them that when Paul preached j at the Areopagus, before the polished j and enlightened Athenians, about . 'Je- j sus and the resurrection," some "mock- j ed ;w others said, "he seemeth to be a ; setter-forth of strange gods," while only j a few concluded to "hear him again of ! this matter." To them thc Kingdom of Silence was real, and the "pleasing hope, the fond desire, the longiog after immortality" were all hushed and smothered by a faith which told them that the grave was the end of all things. To us, how the prospect has changed. Ont of this great silence we hold that voices are yet to sound, and that a year of jubilee shall yet be proclaimed for many of those whom the worms have eaten as they lay helpless in the silent halls of death. - m l'm . * mmm - How to Behave at Church. It is rather late in the day for the discussion of such a subject ; but recent developments have shown that a little advice will not be out of place. Now, by 4'at Church" in our head? ing, we do not mean "in Church" only, but outside and around about generally. We have an idea that after one deter? mines to go to Church, the best thing for him to do is to go ; thea after he gets there, the next best thing is to get j inside and take a seat. Some persons are dull of hearing, or have not very acute and nervous sensi? bilities, and are not easily disturbed during divine service ; but others of us are so constituted that a prattling child inside or a low mumbling talk outside upsets our train of thought, and no ben? efit is conferred by the service. This being so, it seems that the irreverent should respect our feelings, and make it a point never to do anything in viola? tion of religious propriety. There are j other places where persons may congre gate for talking without having to re? pair to the Church steps, and we hope this gentle and purely impersonal re? minder may accomplish some good in the direction referred to. Just as wc had finished the above, we came across thc following in an ex? change which tallies exactly with our idea. Be good enough to read it : CUCRCII MANNERS. Be on time. No one has a right to disturb a congregation or a preacher by being tardy. Never look around to see who is com? ing in when the door opens. It diverts your own and others' attention from the exercises, and is discourteous to the leader. Never talk or whisper in church, es? pecially after the exercises are opened. Never pull out your vatch to see what time it is when the text is an? nounced, or during the sermon. Better feed on a sermon than to time it. Neve? lean your head on the pew rail before you as though you were indiffer? ent to the preacher. Conform, if possible, ia conscience, to the usages of the church in which you worship-kneel, stand, bow a???rd? ?ngly. Never manifest your disapprobation of what is being said, by unpleasant sounds, or signs, or by hastily leaving. Do not fidget, as though the service were a weariness. Be quiet and decor? ous to the very end. Bo not put on your overcoat or adjust your wrappings till after the benediction. No gentlemen ever defiles a place of worship with tobacco. Never.be one of a staring crowd about the door or in thc vestibule, before or after service. Do nothing out of keeping with the time, place and purpose of a religious assembly. - i > - Union S. S. Convention. -o A meeting of some of our Pastors and Sunday School Superintendents was held on Tuesday morning last, and ar? rangements perfected for the Sunday School Convention to convene here on thc 16th- proximo. The following gen? tlemen,, representing the different de Bominations, have bee? requested to deliver addresses: Kev. F. C. Hickson, Rev. J. S. Beasely, Mr. J. J. Knox, i and Mr. T. T. Upsbur. Mr. Tradewell has sent out notices of the meeting to all the Churches and to the gentlemen i who are expected to speak. It is de? sired that all sect?ous of the County shall have delegates in attendance, and the Pastors will be especially welcome. The meeting will convene in the Baptist Church on Friday, September 16th, at ll o'clock ia tb** morning. The pro? priety of holding a night sessiou will be considered after organization. "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me." -o In the pleasant county of Devon, in one of its sequestered passes, with a few cottages sprinkled over it, mused and sang Augustus Toplady. When a lad of sixteen, and on a visit to Ireland, he ' strolled into a barn in which an illiter? ate layman was preaching-but preach? ing reconciliation to God through the death of his Son. The homely sermon took effect ; and from that moment the gospel wielded all the powers of his brilliant and active mind. During his illness, Augustus Toplady seemed to ; lie in the vestibule of glory. To a friend's inquiry, he answered with a sparkling eye, "Ob. my .dear sir, I cannot tell the comforts I feel in my soul ; they are past expression. The consolations of God are so abundant that he leaves me nothing to pray for. My prayers are all converted into praise. I enjoy a heaven already within my soul." And, within am hour of dying, he called his friends and asked if they could give him up ; and when they re? plied in the affirmative, tears of joy ran down his cheeks as he added: "Oh, what a blessing that you are made will? ing to give me over into the hands of my Redeemer and part with me ; for no mortal can live after having seen the glories which God has manifested to my soul !" And thus died the writer of that beautiful hymn, "Rock of Ages, cleft for me." There is no argument for Christ's religion e-|ual to a pure, noble, godly life, which is born of bis Spirit. Noth? ing so repels, disgusts, and hardens the uncovorted as daily contact with those who profess Christianity to make it odious. Let us all be watchful ; for it is certainly possible to live so closely to Christ, that when, men see us they shall see Jesus.- T. L. Cuykr. Mother's Last Lesson. -o A mother lay dyiog. Her little SOD, j not knowing of the sorrow coming to I him, went, as was his custom, to ber chamber door, saying : ?.please to teach me my verse, mam? ma, and then kiss me and bid mc good night ! I am very sleepy, but no one has heard me say my prayers." "Hush Y' said a lady who was watch? ing beside her, "your dear mother is too ill to hear your prayers to-night," and coming forward, she sought gently to lead him from the room. Hoger began to sob as if his heart would break. "I cannot go to bed without saying my prayers-indeed I cannot." The ear of the dying mother caught the sound. Although she bad been insensible to everything around her, the sob of ber darling aroused her from her stupor, and turning to her friend, she desired her to bring her little son to ber. Her request was granted, and the child's golden hair and rosy cheeks nestled beside the cold face of his dying mother. "Hy son/' she whispered, "repeat this verse after me, and never forget it : .When my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.7 " Thc child repeated it two or three times, and said his little prayer. Then he kissed the cold face and went quietly to his bed. In the morning he came as usual to his mother, but found ber still and cold. This was her last lesson. He has never forgotten it, and probably never will as long as he lives.-The Christian Woman. The leading Scientists of to-day agree that most diseases are caused by disordered Ki?l?eys ?r Liver.
