Written at Sfy Mother's Grave.? - ? 0< - ?

BY GEORGE D. PRRKTICI.

The trembling dew-drops fallUpon 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 waveAbove thy child ?

'Tis a bright flower, yet roust

Its. bright karts to the temput 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 ofmy sinless years,And mourn the hopes to childhood dear

With bitter tears?Aye Î 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 likea mourner on the blue dim wave,

? I stray tb hear the light winds wailAround thy grave.

Where is thy spirit flown ?I gaze above-tby look is imaged there ;

I listen-and thy gentle toneIs on the air.

-Oh ! come while I may press3Iy brow, upon thy grave, and in those mildAnd thrilling tones of tenderness,: Bless, bless thy child.

Wanted.

The 2îew York Herald devotes from"-- two to five pages in advertising the

..wants' of its patrons. Everything men

want is advertised for. After lookingover the list, we determined to get upone of our own, something like this.Wanted-Somebody to insure fire in¬

surance companies against fire, and lifeinsurance companies against death, andsavings banks against too great difficul¬ty in getting the money ont of them,and railroads against receivers, and allbonds 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. Thereis only one place ofdeposit where neither moth, nor rust doth corrupt, andwhere 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 suppliestoe. .shortest kind of an argument.Some Christian apologists are willing toithrowaway every other proofofGod save]only that which springs from the imper¬ative of conscience. What neccessityis there for arguments from cause or

-;>:firom design,'ea long as God'a voiceis; in. the soul7 And as evolution fails

% to effect the otber^irguments, so it hasno destructive bearing on this one, sinceit makes DO great difference how con¬

science comes about * its authority andpotency are the same. The materialistendeavors to destroy the value of theargument for God from conscience bysaying, *I can take your conscience to

: pieces. I can change its character byeducation, 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 ofGod.' To which it is enough to answer-that* b e same reasoning which invalidates

;. the authority of conscience, invalidatesalso the authority of consciousness ; ofexternal as well as internal perception.Theultra idealist, too, may sa;-, that becan resolve the external world into a

mere serieà of sensations. Negationistof every kind can fancifully disperse allthat is into a mere congeries of "forcesand make all things proceed by simpleneccesity. This gives us a universewhich is but a concatenation of atomicrelations ; but it destroys all order andlaw, and thus all ^bought and reasoningThe negation of reasoning cannot beset as a foundation for reasoning antag¬onizing moral law. It is simply thenegation of everthing. Now if thesame argument which destroys con¬

science and disperses its voices into' mere contradictory echoes, destroys' thought also, and intelligence in theuniverse as well asín the mind, it de¬stroy» itself. Pyrrhonism cannot bereasoned with because it is such a re¬duction to chaos, as is the negation ofall reasoning. Much less can it arro¬

gate to itself the position of a logicaland intelligent censorship over that uni¬verse which it has pulverised. Thatcourse of thought which sustains theinspirations of conscience is neccessaryta everthing which can be calledthought. It is easy to let go of con¬

science bat it is simply impossible to dothis, and at the some time to keep holdof intelligence in mia's brain and inthe universe.

The last, best fruit, which comes lateta perfection, even in the kindliest soul,» tenderness toward the hard, forbear¬ance toward the unforbearing, warmthof heart toward the cold, and philan¬thropy toward the misanthropic.-Richter.

No man or woman of the humblestsort can really be strong; gentle pureand good, without the world beingbetter for it, without somebody beinghelped and comforted by the very exist-©f that goodness.-Philips Broolcs.

Begin early to teach a child to avoideverything that is impure in food, indrink, in the air, in everthing physical,and it will help you to teach him toshun impurity in thought and word anddeed. Purity io everything should bethe standard.

Let it not be imagined that the lifeof a good Christian must neccessarilybc a life of melancholy and gloominess ; jfor he only resigns some pleasures to Ienjoy others îofiiitely 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 myhome in North Carolina. In the car

was a gentleman with New York papersbearing intelligence of the recent deathof Nicholas, Autocrat of all thc Rus-Sias. He was gone. A man of greatstature, of iron will, of vast energies,a born king, ruling fifty millions by hissimple word, he had bowed to destinyand death, and dropped the sceptrewhich swayed an empire. He had diedat a crisis in which he was the most

conspicuous and important personageamong men, at such a jucture in affairsas will draw an arresting line across thepage of human history. He had arous¬ed the world to arms. He had broughtthousands into fortified towns, andstretched tents and camp-fires along

I miles of hills and valleys. The strideof his ambition had made troops oforphan children, and thrilled thenations with woe. He was known toall the world, and his history, his wordshis deeds, his policy were the study ofall who read or thought. But he hadgone. Europe stood still and held itsbreath as the curtain dropped upon thecolossal actor on a stage trembling withthe thunder of artillery and red withgore of the gallant. And then thecabinets of all governments, and thetraders upon the marts of thc busynations, began industriously to calcu¬late the probable effects of this greatdeparture upon all the operations ofmankind ; and Russia was preparingto 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 ofthe Emperor; but jt stirred my heartvery 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 hadany interest in him-ne bad uever utter¬ed a word. He was in no one's way. Hislife make no great promise. He hadalways been delicate. He was a mere

intelligent "pretty little fellow," as hisfather was fond of calling him. Hewas dead. How sad, how very sad a

thought was this to me I Ile was ''ourlittle George" All the potentates ofEurope might have died and my heartfelt no pain. But this was a near grief.This was the first departure from thelittle flock. There was no pomp at bisfuneral. He lay calm and lovely in hislittle coffin, beautifully dead. Hislittle brothers and sisters stood in theawe which the first invasion of the in¬visible feet makes in a family. A fewfriends went from the humble house ofthe bereaved living to the humblerresting-place of the shrouded dead- Noretinue, no plumes, no emblazonry ofostentatious sorrow, marked the child'sremoval to his last home. But he was

our babe. How little thought bismother of the grand griefs of a Euro¬pean empire ! Her little kingdom was

darkened. While we had read accountsof the slaughters which marked theCrimean Campaign, and shuddered atthe desolations they must have broughtto thousands of homes, none of thethrilling reports had penetrated andagonized us like the sight of our owndead. Nothing I ever read, or saw, or

felt, transfixed me with such cold painas the kiss of the little hands foldedover the heart of our serene and breath¬less boy. They were beautiful hands.How often I had admired them as heclapped them when his earoest gazehad brightened into a smile and broad¬ened into infantile glee ! How oftenhad they pressed their soft little palmsupon my aching head, and buried theirlittle dimples under my chin ! Deathhad not discolored the lovely flesh, butbad made it clearer and finer, as if ithad been purged of all taints of corrup¬tion. And so I could hardly believehim dead. But when I stoopedto kis* those hands for the last timethey met my lips with such an unex¬

pected chill that I felt stricken! It wasas though I had been stabbed in theheart with a dagger of ice.Oh ! how different the far and the

near! A quarter ofa century lies be¬tween that death and this writing, butthat dead babe to-day has more powerover me the than any living man. Hewalks the streets with me. He goeswith me to all the funerals of infants.Before his death I did not know how totalk at the funeral of a babe. Now Iknow at least bow to sympathise withthe parents. When a man comes intomy house and tells me with grievinglips that there is a baby lying dead inhis home, I go with him, led by thehand of the little child whose mortalbody was buried a quarter of a centuryago.

The Wound ofRobespierre.Almost all the historians of the

French Revolution have representedthe famous wound of Robespierre as

self-inflicted. Most of them state thatthe bullet he aimed at bis own headbroke the jawbone, and thus made itimpossible for him to speak. M. Thiers,however, makes lighter of the wound,and in his account of the scene at theHotel de Ville says, "Robespierre drewa pistol upon himself, but the ball,striking beneath the lip, only piercedthe cheek and inflicted a severe, thoughnot dangerous wound." This versionis now in process of being altogetherupset by an account of the circumstan¬ces given in the pages of La France.This journal reproduces a dispositionmade by the gendarme Meda or Merda,afterwards a colonel in the army and a

baron of the empire, and some otherpapers which support the story contain¬ed in it, The gendarme says:

"I knew the elder Robespierre; hewas sitting in an arm chair-this was

in the hall of the Hotel de Ville-hav¬ing his elbows on bis knees and hishead leaning on his left hand. I madea rush at him, aud presenting my swordto his heart, said to him, 'Yield, traitor.'He raised his head and answered, 4Itis you who are a traitor, and I will have

you shot.' At these words I took oneof my pistols in my left hand, and,stepping one pace aside, fired at him.I intended to hit him in tue heart, butthe ball struck his chin and broke hisleft jaw." This story is confirmed byan engraving of thc period, represent¬ing Meda in the act of discharging hispistol, and by the fact that Meda was

shortly afterwards presented to the Con¬vention and warmly complimented bythe president upon having committedthis assault. The other story is sup¬pose to rest chiefly on the authority ofBarras, and it has probably no suchsolid grounds to back it as the tale ofthe gendarme, who is admitted by M.Thiers to have been one of those whofirst 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 lestit be unprofitable ; bear it patiently lestit be intolerable. Behold in it God'sanger against sin, and his love towardsthee, in punishing the one, and chasten¬ing the other. If it be light slight itDot ; if heavy, murmur not. Not to besensible of a judgment is the symptomof a hardened heart ; and to be displeas¬ed at his pleasure is a sign of a rebelli¬ous will.- Quarles.

He that doeth good to another, doesgood also to himself, not only in theconsequence but in the very act ofdoing it ; for the consciousness of welldoing 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 finehealth. 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 onlyof growing cactus. It is said that a discoveryhas been made which may render these des?erts immensely profitable. It bas been dis¬covered that grape cuttings inserted in thetrunks of the cacti on the bot sand, grow andthrive as vigorously as in cultivated land.It is said one man can plant a large vineyardin a day, and the vines so planted will te-come incorporated into the cactus, and growluxuriantly without cultivation or irrigation.It is said melons, tomatoes and cucumberswill also grow from cactus stock, so that thedesert may soon blossom as the rose, and thewaste places be made glad.-Darlington South¬erner.

The leading Scientists of to-day agreethat most dLeases are caused by disorderedKidneys cr Liver. If therefore, the Kidneysaud Liver are kept in perfect order, perfeethealth will be the result. This truth h is onlybeen known a short time and for years peoplesuffered great agony without being able to findrelief. The discovery of Warner's Safe Kidneyand Liver Cure marks a new era in the treat¬ment of these troubles Made frum a simpletropical leaf of rare value, it contains just theelements necessary to nourish and invigorateboth of these great organs, and safely restore

and keep them in order. It ts a POSITIVEREMEDY for all thc diseases that cause painsin 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 femalesduring 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 theblood.

This Remedy, which has done such wonders,ts put up in the LARGEST SIZED BOTTLEof any medicine upon the market, and it» soldby Druggists aud all dealers at $1.25 per bottle.For Diabetes, inquire for WARNER'S SAFEDIABETES CUKE. It is a Positive Remedy.H.H. WARNER <fc CO-, Rochester, N. Y.

Ague CureIs a purely vegetablo bitter and power¬ful tonic, and is warranted a speecfv andcertain cure for Fever and Ague, Chillsand Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe¬ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,Periodical or Bilious Fever, and allmalarial disorders. In miasmatic dis¬tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the backand loins, and coldness of the spine andextremities, are only premonitions ofseverer symptom«?, which terminate in theague paroxysm, succeeded by liigh Xeverand profuse perspiration.

It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse¬nic and other poisonous minerals, form thelKisis of most of the "Fever and AguePreparations," " Specifics," " Syrups," and"Tonics," in the market. The prepara¬tions made from these mineral poisons,although they are palatable, and maybreak the chill, do not cure, but leave themalarial and their own drug poison inthe system, producing quinism; dizziness,ringing in the cars, headache, vertigo, andother disorders more formidable than thedisease they were intended to cure.ÀYEii's ACTE CI-JÍE thoroughly eradicatesthese noxious ]>oisons from the system,and always cures thc severest cases. Itcontains no quinine, raiueral, or any thingthat could injure the most delicate pa¬tient; and its crowning excellence, aboveits certainty to cure, is that it leaves thesystem as free from disease as before thcattack.For Liver Complaints, AYEK'S AGUE

CUKE, by direct action on the liver andbiliary apparatus, drives out the poisonswhich produce these complaints, and stim¬ulates the system to a vigorous, healthycondition.We warrant it when taken according to

directions.
