Cholera, scarlet-fever, small-pox, or what? Nothing of the kind. Saved from being murdered by their parents, it is dreadful to think of it cveu for a moment, that ■kouapnds thousands of little helpless babies have been killed, and aii because they were girls, just as if they could help being girls. God sent girls to lie loved and cherished as well as boys. But paganism teach es a different story. It says little girls are to be hated, despised, trod den down, a;.d killed. Now the Bible has gone to India with its good news of love. Jesus is there, who took little children in his arms to bless them. Jesus is there who raised the ruler's little g.ii to life alter she was dead. Rays from the true Light are shinning upon that poor, dark land; and the first tiling which its rulers did after they began to see things in the light of the gos pel, was to take tender care of the little girls. llow much will they and how much do our girls owe to the blessed gos pel of Jesus Chrst; nor should we over lose sight of it, but every day. “Thank the goodness and the grace Which on our birth have smiled.” The Farmer's Parrot. One beautiful spring a farmer, af ter working busily for several weeks succeeded in planting one of the largest fields in corn; but the neigh boring crows committed sad havoc. The farmer however,not being willing that the germs of a future crop should be destroyed by either fair means or foul, determined to drive tlie bold marauders to their nests. Accord ingly, iic loaded his rusty gun, with ■ the intention of giving them upon ! their next visit a warm reception, j No-.v li..'. :a. ...or .inti a parrot, as lislkH" re ami mischievous as those lib illy are; and being very 1 tame it via-, allowed its freedom, to come ;o at pleasure. ‘ Pretty lb.!!,' being a lover of company, .vi- lioiit much oaring whether good OV ; :-.!i obstructions, »: I was soon e -gagcd in the farmer ! like occupation of raising corn. Tire farmer with his gun sallied forth. Reading his cornfield he saw :at a glance (though iie overlooked ! the parrot) the state of affairs. Lcv j oiling his gun he fired, and with the report was heard the death-scream of three crows, ami ar. agonising shriek from poor Pol!. <>;i looki-: ; among the murdered crows, great was the farmer’s rur prise to Bee Stretched n non the ground Ills parrot, with f.-athos sadly ruf fled, and a brokcu leg. “You foolish bird !’ cried tlie far mer. “tills come* of keeping bad company ” tin carrying It to the house, the children, seeing its w-.mided I. g. ex claimed, What did it papa?

Remember the : i parrot’s fate, children, and beware ; - j of bad company.” , ; Willi these words the farmer turn ied and, with the aid of lii> . i wife, bandaged the broken leg. an-; in a few weeks the parrot was as i lively as ever, but revor forgot its: _ adventure in the cornfield; and if ev-: i er the farmer’s children engaged In , i play with quarrelsome companions. ; it invariably dispersed them with its j cry;—“Bad companj —bad company.'’ —1 RELIGIOUS INTEL LIGENCE. , Wo respectfully invite any minister L of the gospel to communicate to as promptly any items suited for this department of the Educator.

I 1 ; Mr. Editor — As you have admitted ' j Into the columns of the Recorder, on two occasions, articles in opposi -1 lion to recognition in heaven; and, as the Writer of those articles has cota pla’med that the subject has never been elaborated, by those who be -1 Live it, I ask permission to give my 1 reasons, for my l’aith. As a starting point, we must have clear views of what, we are; and what it is that constitutes us individual be ings. Is it the gases and handful of matter that is in our bodies? Cer tainly not; for it is the souls, or sprit that thanks, loves, hates, and resorts. The spirit or soul, is the real mam it is this, that gives matt his individu ality, and persona! identity. The men’s body, is but the clothing the real man wears, the house in which he lives on earth, but it is no more part of him than the glove that cov , ers iiis fleshy hand. It is not the : body, that gives form and shape to the soul, or spirit; but the spirit that , gives form and shape to the body; for we see every day, that mental j suffering st imps itself upon the feat- j ures. When a dead human body lies before us, we do not think the real man is dead; he is not put in the grave, but has gone to a spiritual realm, and only his covering, (body) moulders to dust. Matt in earthly life is as much a spritual being, as he ever will be; and ! all his individuality, and identity, be- i longs to him as a spiritual being, and - not to his body. 1 This can lie seep everywhere in I ! i Scripture, for we are appealed to, to i worship God “ia our spirit,” and to 1 ; keep the body tor it is the | ' i Holy Spirit. -j When Jtsns replied to the Sadn i cecs, he saL-l: “I am the God of A , braham, and the God of Isaac, and the ■: tlie God of Jacob? God is not the God !of the dead, but of the living.” Mat. I j xxii: 32. If this language mean that : Abraham, I-aac, and Jacob, were 1' still alive, ami were living, not utere • ly as saints, but as Abraham, Isaac ) and Jacob. 1 When Moses and Elijah, returned ; to earth, they returned as Moses and Elijah, and were so recognized, if we I are to believe tlie record. -1 Hitis no proof of f uture recogni I ’ lion, it is proof tiiat still retain ' ed their individuality and identity. We are told tin- in Mat. xxxb 52: - i 53, “And many bodies of the saint* I which slept arose, mid eamu out of 1 the grave alt'jr hi* resum-ctioi, and - j went into th: holy city and appeal - ed unto 31 iry.” I ; How cooled tin y be recognized, a* saint* if not reeogniaod perso-allv t They were recognired a* lelirrws in Ciirist. before theirs or liis death; and this is the reason they were cal led saints. Here, these saints had re tain-!, irnt only their mdividnalityi but (heir persona! a,.pumice. Paul speaking ofheing conght dj. j into the third heaven, says: “whether jin the b ly or cat of the body, I eon not telg” but there was no doubt in i PsnTs •Iliad, in regard to the fixeb tiiat he P» I’. did go. arid saw “me speakablo things.” I think these extracts from the Bible arc sufficient to show, that the ; -sal man ir> the -pint, and that to it, • belongs all the individuality and i !c 1- tity; and the body k lint the house, or home in whleh man lives xrhiieon earth. In my next. I wtl! try lo p*treat what evidence the Bible furnishes of futu-e recognition.— Lay m ax. How JlikeriMtethe Hull. Otic of the most laughable stories iof a bovine kind that lias ever tick j led the ribs of “the only a-dmal that i laughs,” is the one in which Mike Finch dt-eerilK‘s his ride in the “nat i j nral state,” on Deacon Smith s Taurus ) a cynic, in fashionable: ! trowsere. to read it snd not burst a L j button or two off the places to w hich ] suspenders are hitched. It is simply : | ‘enormous.” | Mike took a notion to go in s* iui i mir.g. and he had jast got his clothes otf, when he saw i)cac ® Smith s bull I making at him. The bail was a vic ious animal, and had o-ine xerv near kilting two or three persons, conse quently Mike feit rather “jiibu .” He didn’t want to call lor help, for he was naked, and the nearest place from whence as*is*ance could arrive, was the meeting-house, which was at the time fiiied with worship pers, among whom was the “gal Mike was paying iiis devotion to.” So he dodged the bail as the mined came at him, and managed to catc'i him by the tail. He was dragged around till he was nearly dead, and when he thought be could hold no longer, he made up iiis mind that he hail better “holler.” And now we will let him tell his ' own story. “80 looking at the matter in all its ! 53 3 bearings, I cum to the com-losiou licit I'd better let some one know j wliar I was. So I gin a veil louder 1 j than a locomotive whistle, and it ; | wan’t long before I seed the Dea con’* two dogs a ooming down like as if they war seeing which could get ther fust. “I kno wed who they war arter — they’d jin the bull agin me.

Some of ’em hit the dogs—about a , quart, st ruck me, and the rest cliarg •il on brindie. “This time the dogs led off fust, dead bent for the old Deacon's, and as soon as old brindie and I could ' get tinder way, wc followed, and as l was only a deck passenger, I had nothin' to do with steem' the craft; if I had, wc shouldn't have run that channel anyhow. “Rat, as I said before, the dogs took the Ka t—brindie and I next, and the home’s directly arter. The dogs yellin—brindie hollerin’, and ! hornets buzzin’ and stingin. “Well, we had got about two hun dred yards from the house, and the Deacon heard us and cotne out. I I see l hint hold up his hand and turn ! white. I recon lie was prayin’ then, I for he did't expect to be called for ; so soon, and it warn't long neither < afore the whole congregation—men, . women and children—cum out, and ' then all hands went to yellin’. “None of them had the first notion * that brindie and I lielonged to this • world. I jist turned my head and !! passed the whole congregation. I seed the run would be up soon, for i briudle couldn’t turn an inch from a fence that stood dead ahead. “Well, wo reached that fem-e, and I went ashore, over tlie critter’s head, landing on the other side, and lay thar stunned. “It warn't long afore some ofthent as was not scared, cum mimin' lo let a bar 1 war, tor all hand* lulkerlat «l that the ball and I lielonged to ’ gather.

A good old elder of a church, who was given to extravagant exaggera tion, was at last called to account for his offense iu that respect, and ad monished not to give way to the lie setting sin in future. The good old man received the admonition meekly and said. “I know how prone I am to the fault, my brethren, and it has given me tortures of pain; and night after night I have shed barrels of tears over it.” The meeting adjourn ed in silence. A gentleman at Lake George, as t >r waving his handkerchief for half | an nbur or more at an unknown lady, . whom he discovered at a distant 1 point on the shore, was encouraged by a warm response to his signal to , approach his charmer.

It has sunk of late into a foolish hab it which the discovery of the lith ographic processes lias made abso lutely dangerous. The shrewd man keeps his thoughts to himself or re veals them only in words which can not be photographed. In setting down his secret feelings for the eye gif one, the writer can nevei be sure, piowadays, that his letter mayj|iot 1 someday lie spread with all it* crooks and dashes and blots before the eyes of the thousands for whom it was not intended. If it contains discio . sure* of guilt, how ugly they look in all their nakedneSf.
