The trembling dew-drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers like souls at rest ;
The stars shine glorious! y. and all
Save me a.ve blest.
Mother, I lore thy grave !
The violet with blossom bine and mild
"Wares o'er thy head-when shall it wave
Above thy child ?
'Tis a bright flower, yet roust
Its. bright karts to the tem put bow ;
Dear mother, 'tis thy emblem-doit
Is-oa thy brow.
And I could lore to die
To leave untasted life'3 dark, bitter streams ;
By thee, as erst in childhood, He
And share tby dreams.
5?sa^ And must I linger here,
To stain the plumage of my sinless years,
And mourn the hopes to childhood dear
With bitter tears?
Aye ? must I linger here.
'. A lonely branch upon a withered tree,
Whose last frail leaf, untimely sear,
Went down with thee ;
Oft from life ^withered bower,
-Tn still communion with the past I tarn,
And gaze on thee, thee only flower
-In memory's urn.
And when the erening pale,
TJows like a mourner on the blue dim wave,
' ? I stray tb hear the light winds wail
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown ?
I gaze above-tby look is imaged there ;
I listen-and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
-Oh ! come while I may press
3Iy brow, upon thy grave, and in those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
: Bless, bless thy child.
Wanted.
The 2?ew York Herald devotes from
"-- two to five pages in advertising the
..wants' of its patrons. Everything men
want is advertised for. After looking
over the list, we determined to get up
one of our own, something like this.
Wanted-Somebody to insure fire in?
surance companies against fire, and life
insurance companies against death, and
savings banks against too great difficul?
ty in getting the money ont of them,
and railroads against receivers, and all
bonds against too much binding.
Who can supply these wants? There
ls absolutely no security for money.
God does not intend to make a sure
? - foundation of trust in this world. There
is only one place of deposit where neith
er moth, nor rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves do not break through and
'steal; Let ns think af these things,
and"we may learn a lesson.
The Conscience Argument
> There is great value in ethical preach?
ing. For Christian defence it supplies
toe. .shortest kind of an argument.
Some Christian apologists are willing toi
throw away every other proof of God save]
. only that which springs from the imper?
ative of conscience. What neccessity
is there for arguments from cause or
-;>:firom design,'ea long as God'a voice
is; in. the soul7 And as evolution fails
% to effect the otber^irguments, so it has
no destructive bearing on this one, since
it makes DO great difference how con?
science comes about * its authority and
potency are the same. The materialist
endeavors to destroy the value of the
argument for God from conscience by
saying, *I can take your conscience to
: pieces. I can change its character by
education, It passes through various
H and essential modifications from genera
"-- lion to-generation. Its standard is deter?
mined by its surroundings. The conscien?
ces of differer) t people are even contradic?
tory. Therefore, it is not the voice of
God.' To which it is enough to answer
that* b e same reasoning which invalidates
;. the authority of conscience, invalidates
also the authority of consciousness ; of
external as well as internal perception.
The ultra idealist, too, may sa;-, that be
can resolve the external world into a
mere serie? of sensations. Negationist
of every kind can fancifully disperse all
. i that is into a mere congeries of "forces
and make all things proceed by simple
neccesity. This gives us a universe
which is but a concatenation of atomic
relations ; but it destroys all order and
law, and thus all ^bought and reasoning
The negation of reasoning cannot be
set as a foundation for reasoning antag?
onizing moral law. It is simply the
negation of everthing. Now if the
same argument which destroys con?
science and disperses its voices into
' mere contradictory echoes, destroys
' thought also, and intelligence in the
universe as well as?n the mind, it de?
stroy? itself. Pyrrhonism cannot be
reasoned with because it is such a re?
duction to chaos, as is the negation of
all reasoning. Much less can it arro?
gate to itself the position of a logical
and intelligent censorship over that uni?
verse which it has pulverised. That
course of thought which sustains the
inspirations of conscience is neccessary
ta everthing which can be called
thought. It is easy to let go of con?
science bat it is simply impossible to do
this, and at the some time to keep hold
of intelligence in mia's brain and in
the universe.
The last, best fruit, which comes late
ta perfection, even in the kindliest soul,
? tenderness toward the hard, forbear?
ance toward the unforbearing, warmth
of heart toward the cold, and philan?
thropy toward the misanthropic.
Richter.
No man or woman of the humblest
sort can really be strong; gentle pure
and good, without the world being j
better for it, without somebody being
helped and comforted by the very exist
?f that goodness.-Philips Broolcs.
Begin early to teach a child to avoid
everything that is impure in food, in
drink, in the air, in everthing physical,
and it will help you to teach him to
shun impurity in thought and word and
deed. Purity io everything should be
the standard.
Let it not be imagined that the life
of a good Christian must neccessarily
bc a life of melancholy and gloominess ; j
for he only resigns some pleasures to I
enjoy others ?ofiiitely better.-Pascal. J

The Czar and the Babe.
BT KEV. CHARLES F. DEEMS, LL. D,
On the 17th of March, 1865, -I was
coming from Petersburg, Va., to my
home in North Carolina. In the car
was a gentleman with New York papers
bearing intelligence of the recent death
of Nicholas, Autocrat of all thc Rus
Sias. He was gone. A man of great
stature, of iron will, of vast energies,
a born king, ruling fifty millions by his
simple word, he had bowed to destiny
and death, and dropped the sceptre
which swayed an empire. He had died
at a crisis in which he was the most
conspicuous and important personage
among men, at such a jucture in affairs
as will draw an arresting line across the
page of human history. He had arous?
ed the world to arms. He had brought
j thousands into fortified towns, and
stretched tents and camp-fires along
I miles of hills and valleys. The stride
of his ambition had made troops of
orphan children, and thrilled the
nations with woe. He was known to
j all the world, and his history, his words
j his deeds, his policy were the study of
all who read or thought. But he had
gone. Europe stood still and held its
breath as the curtain dropped upon the
colossal actor on a stage trembling with
the thunder of artillery and red with
gore of the gallant. And then the
cabinets of all governments, and the
traders upon the marts of thc busy
nations, began industriously to calcu?
late the probable effects of this great
departure upon all the operations of
mankind ; and Russia was preparing
to bury "the father" with mingled bar?
baric pomp and civilised splendor.
I was not indifferent to the impor?
tance of such an event as the death of
the Emperor; but jt stirred my heart
very little. It xas far off.
Twenty miles father south I heard of
another death. In this cftse it was a
babe, only ten months old. He was
heir-to no great estate or title. He was
known to very few, and very few had
any interest in him-ne bad uever utter?
ed a word. He was in no one's way. His
life make no great promise. He had
always been delicate. He was a mere
intelligent "pretty little fellow," as his
father was fond of calling him. He
was dead. How sad, how very sad a
thought was this to me I Ile was ''our
little George" All the potentates of
Europe might have died and my heart
felt no pain. But this was a near grief.
This was the first departure from the
little flock. There was no pomp at bis
funeral. He lay calm and lovely in his
little coffin, beautifully dead. His
little brothers and sisters stood in the
awe which the first invasion of the in?
visible feet makes in a family. A few
friends went from the humble house of
the bereaved living to the humbler
resting-place of the shrouded dead- No
retinue, no plumes, no emblazonry of
ostentatious sorrow, marked the child's
removal to his last home. But he was
our babe. How little thought bis
mother of the grand griefs of a Euro?
pean empire ! Her little kingdom was
darkened. While we had read accounts
of the slaughters which marked the
Crimean Campaign, and shuddered at
the desolations they must have brought
to thousands of homes, none of the
thrilling reports had penetrated and
agonized us like the sight of our own
dead. Nothing I ever read, or saw, or
felt, transfixed me with such cold pain
as the kiss of the little hands folded
over the heart of our serene and breath?
less boy. They were beautiful hands.
How often I had admired them as he
clapped them when his earoest gaze ?
had brightened into a smile and broad?
ened into infantile glee ! How often
had they pressed their soft little palms
upon my aching head, and buried their
little dimples under my chin ! Death
had not discolored the lovely flesh, but
bad made it clearer and finer, as if it
had been purged of all taints of corrup?
tion. And so I could hardly believe
him dead. But when I stooped
to kis* those hands for the last time
they met my lips with such an unex?
pected chill that I felt stricken! It was
as though I had been stabbed in the
heart with a dagger of ice.
Oh ! how different the far and the
near! A quarter of a century lies be?
tween that death and this writing, but
that dead babe to-day has more power
over me the than any living man. He
walks the streets with me. He goes
with me to all the funerals of infants.
Before his death I did not know how to
talk at the funeral of a babe. Now I
know at least bow to sympathise with
the parents. When a man comes into
my house and tells me with grieving
lips that there is a baby lying dead in
his home, I go with him, led by the
hand of the little child whose mortal
body was buried a quarter of a century
ago.
The Wound of Robespierre.
Almost all the historians of the
French Revolution have represented
the famous wound of Robespierre as
self-inflicted. Most of them state that
the bullet he aimed at bis own head
broke the jawbone, and thus made it
impossible for him to speak. M. Thiers,
however, makes lighter of the wound,
and in his account of the scene at the
Hotel de Ville says, "Robespierre drew
a pistol upon himself, but the ball,
striking beneath the lip, only pierced
the cheek and inflicted a severe, though
not dangerous wound." This version
is now in process of being altogether
upset by an account of the circumstan?
ces given in the pages of La France.
This journal reproduces a disposition
made by the gendarme Meda or Merda,
afterwards a colonel in the army and a
baron of the empire, and some other
papers which support the story contain?
ed in it, The gendarme says:
"I knew the elder Robespierre; he
was sitting in an arm chair-this was
in the hall of the Hotel de Ville-hav?
ing his elbows on bis knees and his
head leaning on his left hand. I made
a rush at him, aud presenting my sword
to his heart, said to him, 'Yield, traitor.'
He raised his head and answered, 4It
is you who are a traitor, and I will have
you shot.' At these words I took one
of my pistols in my left hand, and,
stepping one pace aside, fired at him.
I intended to hit him in tue heart, but
the ball struck his chin and broke his
left jaw." This story is confirmed by
an engraving of thc period, represent?
ing Meda in the act of discharging his
pistol, and by the fact that Meda was
shortly afterwards presented to the Con?
vention and warmly complimented by
the president upon having committed
this assault. The other story is sup?
pose to rest chiefly on the authority of
Barras, and it has probably no such
solid grounds to back it as the tale of
the gendarme, who is admitted by M.
Thiers to have been one of those who
first broke in upon the "conspirators"
at the Hotel de Tille.- London Globe.

Endure AQiction.
If God hath sent thee a cross, tate it
up and follow him. Use it wisely lest
it be unprofitable ; bear it patiently lest
it be intolerable. Behold in it God's
anger against sin, and his love towards
thee, in punishing the one, and chasten?
ing the other. If it be light slight it
Dot ; if heavy, murmur not. Not to be
sensible of a judgment is the symptom
of a hardened heart ; and to be displeas?
ed at his pleasure is a sign of a rebelli?
ous will.- Quarles.
---m- ? ? --
He that doeth good to another, does
good also to himself, not only in the
consequence but in the very act of
doing it ; for the consciousness of well
doing is a rich reward.-Seneca.
Dr. J C. Hiden is now residing at Smith?
field, Va., preaching every Sunday and teach?
ing dering the week. He is enjoying fine
health. Dr. Hiden, it will be remembered,
was the pastor of the Baptist church at Green?
ville 6 few years since.
Grapes From Thorns.
Vast portions of the southwestern section
of our country are arid plains, capable only
of growing cactus. It is said that a discovery
has been made which may render these des?
erts immensely profitable. It bas been dis?
covered that grape cuttings inserted in the
trunks of the cacti on the bot sand, grow and
thrive as vigorously as in cultivated land.
It is said one man can plant a large vineyard
in a day, and the vines so planted will te
come incorporated into the cactus, and grow
luxuriantly without cultivation or irrigation.
It is said melons, tomatoes and cucumbers
will also grow from cactus stock, so that the
desert may soon blossom as the rose, and the
waste places be made glad.-Darlington South?
erner.
The leading Scientists of to-day agree
that most dLeases are caused by disordered
Kidneys cr Liver. If therefore, the Kidneys
aud Liver are kept in perfect order, perfeet
health will be the result. This truth h is only
been known a short time and for years people
suffered great agony without being able to find
relief. The discovery of Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure marks a new era in the treat?
ment of these troubles Made frum a simple
tropical leaf of rare value, it contains just the
elements necessary to nourish and invigorate
both of these great organs, and safely restore
and keep them in order. It ts a POSITIVE
REMEDY for all thc diseases that cause pains
in the lower part of the b< dy-for Torpid Liver
-Headaches-Jaundice-Dizziness-Gravel
Fever, Agi'e-Malarial Fever, and all difficul?
ties of the Kidneys, Liverand Urinary Organs.
It is an excellent and safe remedy for females
during Pregnancy. It will control Menstrua?
tion and is invaluable for Leucorrhcca or fall?
ing of the Womb, AS a Blood Purifier it is un?
equaled, for it cures the organs that make the
blood.
This Remedy, which has done such wonders,
ts put up in the LARGEST SIZED BOTTLE
of any medicine upon the market, and it? sold
by Druggists aud all dealers at $1.25 per bottle.
For Diabetes, inquire for WARNER'S SAFE
DIABETES CUKE. It is a Positive Remedy.
H.H. WARNER <fc CO-, Rochester, N. Y.
Ague Cure
Is a purely vegetablo bitter and power?
ful tonic, and is warranted a speecfv and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe?
ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis?
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back
and loins, and coldness of the spine and
extremities, are only premonitions of
severer symptom??, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by liigh Xever
and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse?
nic and other poisonous minerals, form the
lKisis of most of the "Fever and Ague
Preparations," " Specifics," " Syrups," and
"Tonics," in the market. The prepara?
tions made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave the
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism; dizziness,
ringing in the cars, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they were intended to cure.
?YEii's ACTE CI-J?E thoroughly eradicates
these noxious ]>oisons from the system,
and always cures thc severest cases. It
contains no quinine, raiueral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa?
tient; and its crowning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before thc
attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYEK'S AGUE
CUKE, by direct action on the liver and
biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons
which produce these complaints, and stim?
ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.
