ONE FAITHFUL HEART. BY GRACE MILLWOOD. Oh give me but a faithful heart, I do not sigh for more ; With one true heart, I’ll be content Until this life is o’er ; I do not sigh for wealth or fame, For jhys they cannot bring, Nor peace, nor love, nor happiness, Without a fatal sling. Oh! let me only feel assnred, One true heart beata for me, A heart that knows no change save death, And I’ll contented be ; For oh ! I have a blessed hope, When earthly ties are riven, Hi soar above, where death comes not, And find a home in heaven. Ah 1 mine has been a weary lot, And still must weary be, Until this heart shall cease to heat, From sin and sorrow free ; And then my soul will soar away, To realms of endless light, Where sorrow’s band is never laid. The heart can feel no flight. Ah! earthly joys, ye tempt me not, Your poison ladened wing, But kill yaur victims with the grief, The anguish that you brlug; Then Father, I will worship thee, And when this life is o er, I’ll calm y rest, upon thy breast, And grief will he no more. Oak Glenn, N. C. RELIGIOUS. CHILDREN IN HEAVEN. There stands a vacant chair in my house. Three loDg and weary years ha\e gone by since little Henrv used to sit in it by my side. The marks of his feet are on it still. Well do I remember, how sometimes when he had climbed into it for his wonted meal, he would stop, and with a voice sweeter than a bird’s, break forth into that dear song of childhood : “ I wirit to be an angel, And with the angel i etand ; A crown upon my forehead. And a harp Within my baud.” How often have I paused and started as I seemed to hear that gentle voice, then Jiave turned aside to weep as 1 remem bered he was gone. But peace comes again to the heart, when I thiuk that his wish is accomplished, and although we are sorrowing over his loss, he is ip the midst of a gloriois company that ape worshiping God without weariness or imperfection. On one of the shelves of my library stand his playthings aud a rude little pic ture which he tried to paint. A stranger might smile to see them, but they-are very dear to me, far more precious than the most costly adornments of art. I sit in my study, and think, as I look upon them, of the dear boy that once called them his own, and .who, tired of using j them, would climb upon my lap and fall asleep in my arms'." But those days are ; gone. There is a stone amid the quiet, j scenes of Greenwood that bears his name j and that of his brother, who passed away _before him. One simple but blessed sen tence is inscribed beneath their names— Of such is the kingdom of-heaven.11— And when I recall those, words, which he uttered who laid down his life that we might not perish; when I think of the rieff provisions of grace and mercy which he has made, I cannot doubt that a great mul titude of those who now surround His throne and sing His praise, are little chil ' • dren, and that among them are two whom 1 once called mine, and who will_ never know *sin and sorrow more. TTiave tried sometimes to\hink how they appear, and what are their employments. But when I read the wondrous descrip tions of heaven which the Spirit has left on record, the mind becomes lost in the theme, and imagination fails to compre hend the glories of those scenes with which they have become fauiilliar. I only know they are infinitely happy and perfectly My. Children in Heaven. Oh, how few who read these lines, but can recall some dear one. who once made music for their hearts, and who passed away in the first blossomings of childhood 1 How few but think with bitter grief of some little grave over which the chill winds of autumn are now strewing the faded leaves of summer, and where ‘the sun shines, and the storm beats, and flowers blossom and die. ¥et metliinks God sends upon us such sorrows in love and . » » draw our souls away from earth, and to attract us heavenward. Children in Heaven. Voices are there which once rang through our dwellings, but are now joining in the loud choruses, of the redeemed. Hearts are there which once'beat against our own. Loved ones, over whose graves we are yet weeping, are with angels and glorified saints, and never know sorrow, ,, ^ n»rw, ney»r weep again.” They1 are safe from all harm, and beyond the reach of sin-and suffering. We need not weep for them ; but we may permit the thought that they are with Jesus to bo a stimulus to our faith and affections, and to draw them out after him (We may use our afflictions as a blessed means of help ing us onward toward the rest that remains for the people of God Children, in Heaven. They are not dead. The graves over which our tears have fallen hold but the broken caskets of jewels which now shine in heaven. e saw them dressed for their last resting place; they look as if they had lain down to sleep, tired of play, with their tiny bauds folded upon their breasts, and a sweet smile still playing upon then- lips. We laid them down gently into their silent graves, and know that they will wake again, and that we shall meet them in the morning. ‘ They are not dead, but have gone before usto that, “happy land,“ whereallis peace and joy. There, amid the angels of God., there, in the presence of Christ; there with many whom we have known and loved, they are joining in the worship of the upper and better sanctuary. It was the hand of a kind Father that leruoved thein from us ; lie hath done Vhat lie would His own; and who can say to Him, “Why doest thou so?" He gave, and Ho hath taken away.- They are gone from us, and from those blessed regions of light and joy they are beckoning us homeward. Oh, for grace to break the fetters of earth and sin, and to fit us for the service of God here,aud His presence hereafter. Be with us, 0 blessed Savior, in temp tation and sorrow, in hours of-darlnies and gloom; when tli eseenes of life are fading into the realities of eternity, he our rod and staff, and reunited to the loved and lost of ea-th, live in the eternal sunshine of thine own presence, where no shadows shall darken our souls, nor sorrow press its burthen upon our hearts.—-New York O btserver. RESIGNATION. ‘My punishment is greater, than lean bear.” How often in life do we think this ? When some loved object of our af fection is taken from us and we are left desolate, the darkened side of life’s cloud is presented to us, when for a while the beautiful silver lining. Thus it remains till the heavenly herald of our cares, comes to us in-the—form of gentle, divine faith. Then comes resignation, tjien peace. Then the soul of the weary traveller can see the, silver lining of the cloud gloriously illumi nated by faith, and by faith behold the hand of ae omnipotent and all-wise, provi dence. As the ship, tempest tested, de spairs of all hope of land, so is the soul of the traveller here. But as the ship has a pilot, so has the soul—a mighty omj— Faith l Whatever sorrow may falL upon us, whatever e,up we may have to drain to the dregs, yet we may rest assured that it is under the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit, but the sure stepping stone to eter nal rest. What presents a more beautiful picture than perfect resignation? hirst comes bereavement, then sorrow, then faith followed by resignation, making us see through tlie dim vista the light of hea ven shining beyoud ; the harbor of rest, the haven of bliss, made by the ALmighty_ himself for an acceptable ..resting place for those who love him.— 'ewbeni Progress. LOOK OUT FOR SQUALLS. The house of green, blue, pinkf yellow, and"red windows,- as signs of the driuk uf as mauy"»olors within, which burns him that swallows it, with the more than seven flames of sorrow—keep a sharp look out for that house, for that is one squall ; go an its way, and it will; soon beeoiue a tor nado. The clever fellow is another squall Look out for him who comes along-and pats you on the shoulder, and puts his atm through yours, Take care, most probably he breeds mischief. And when profanity or vulgarity escapes his lips,“"you may then be sure that he is not your friend— he is" God’s enemy and the enemy of hu I inanity. The winking woman is another squall. Oh ! how many I have seen -on their beanis end, because of that terrible hot I squall, from the very plains of hell—bur ned, terribly burned, before being judged and damned forever! Shun her, go thou far around her who would administer to thy lust. Avoid her for thy life—her bed may be as she says, L'rbv. vii, 16: ‘I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, ' with , carved works, qutli fine linen of Egypt;” but know thou that also," Prov vii. 27 : ‘.‘Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death ” j Reader, I pray you look out for squalls. Oil ! set all your sails, and put thy face straight toward the port of eternal bliss ! “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us. and let us run with patience th« pace 8et before us, looking unto, Jews, the author and finisher of our faitb. ” Reader, whither art thou bound ?■—Sea Bird. WORK WITH YOUR MINISTER. Reader, you have a minister. Is he an earnest, efficient man, devoted to his work, devoted heart and soul to his Church ? or is he an idle, inefficient man, coming be fore you on the Sunday with two polished discourses, but at no other time manifest a special interest in his work, in his reli gion V Perhaps it is not his temperament that makes him what he is ; perhaps you are the Cause of it. You ask, how? If, with the stimulus to ambition which presses as hard upon the ministry as upon any class of men,you have an earnest min ister,' the cause may be traced to that stim ulus. But if, with til's same spur, you have an inefficient, neglectful minister,the 'chances are that it arises not from temper anient, nor from a distate for his labors, but from discouragement. And it may be that you are the cause. The-writer confessses that he is a minis ter. He entered upon his duties two years ago, ardent, hopeful, devoted. He has gone on for two years, giving his poopl» the best efforts of his mind and heart. His sermons have been composed with his most faithful care. He has tried to do his whole duty as a preacher, as a pastor, and | ns a citizen. But he is now discouraged, fairft-hearted, and inclined to give up.— And not ffom any growing sluggishness, | not from any distaste for his duties, not from any want of belief in his work, but 'simply and entirely from the£heed of help from his parishioners. His Sunday-School has no superintendent, nor is it likely to have, although the pastor has invited eve j ry man in his society, of any qualifications ' for the post, to assume its duties. The i classes of the Sunday-School 'want teach ers ; the Church wants Beacons; the eve ning meeting wants one man, at least to attend it.Yto prevent it from having entire ly the appearance of being an incipient j maternal association. Like Moses, he on ly needs an Aaron and a Hur to hold up his hands, lie wauts help, co-operation. Yet lie has in his parish many whole-soul ed men—men of worthy men of probity, men, whom he do lights to meet at their homes or at their places of business, men | who listen well, and ask his sermons for ] publication, lie d 'es not forget this; but this is not. the help that he wants. The minister does not, like the actor, live on the applause of the audience He wants to see that his words are not water poured upon a sieve. There is a story of a man wlm wanted work, and applied to a Qua ker for it The Quaker asked him if he could chop. On receiving an answer in -the affirmative he set the young man to work pounding a log with the back of an axe, and promised him for such service a dollar a day. The man worked away well far a ft)w minutes, then stopped to take breath, then began aud hammered away lustily for half an hour, when, throwing down the axe, he exclaimed, “ I’ll be hanged if I cut. wood and not see the chips fly.” Now, that may be the way, reader, with your minister. You may be condemn ing him to work without allowing him to see the chips fly ire is now almost discouraged, aud you may have thought that the blame was his. Bo to him; ask him if you cannot help him ; ask him if he does not want a Sunday-school teacher,or, perhaps, a Sunday-school superintendent. Show that you are williug'to work in buil ding. up the society, in advancing the cause of truth in your town, in strengthen ing him in his labors, which wear him out, I warrant, more with discouragement than with actual toil.—Christian Inqui rer. i. ' . '--—_.-L PRAYERS OF MOTHERS REMEM BERED._;'. ; A' young man rose in the prayer-meet ing, and said that he wished the meeting To pruy for. him, for Be had a praying mother. He could say no more, and sat down, He had given one of the best rea sons why the meeting should pi ay for him". And they did pray for him. As the audience went out of this same meeting, sin elderly, intelligent gentleman was observed looking. He came up to the missionary of the church, and said, I “Will you'pray for me, sir,i for I, too, had a praying mother?’ He was-a pbysi jc'iau of this city—long in practice—about l GO. years old. . He said his mother .stop ped praying for him in 1824, for God | then took her to himself. He was a deeply | wounded man, by an arrow drawn at a | venture. The prayers of a praying mother thirty-live years ago, had a sudden and wonderful resurrection. Ho had come into the meeting, he could not tell why But he was there, and the request of that young man went like a dagger to his 'heart. He said that if a cannon ball had struck him, -he could not have been more ' deeply moved. He afterwards got up in another prayer-meeting, and asked for himself the prayers of the meeting. And we are now hoping that he is a new crea ture in Christ Jesus. He hopes, in much fear and trembling, that he is a Christian ; and he is resolved so to live the remainder lot' his days, that he may join his sainted | mother ill heaven.—Christian Jnlelligtn j etr. AN EFFECT OF GOOD READING. A clergyman, a lawyer, and a doctor were members of one of Professor Bron son’s classes in elocution, and when the question, What shall be our class-book ? | came up, the minister wished the Bible | could be used ; but he remained silent, ! as the lawyer was an infidel;. The lawyer said, “Let us take the Bible ; for I never could see any meaning in it till lately, when I heard some verses ; read from it by a good reader. If there is any sense in it, I want to find it. ” So j the Bible was used by them as a class Ibook. | Accent, emphasis, inflections, pauses, 'etc., etc., were explained and illustrated I by examples. Darkness was visible. ! Twilight came. Morning dawned ; and th’mgs near were clearly distinguished. Then the sun came up ; it was full day. How had these treasures, on the very sur face of the text, been concealed by bad j reading ! 'As the class repeated the ex i amples given, a mine of truth was opened I to them—philosophy shone in every line. Hope sprang up and blossomed, and faith fixed roots deep in the soul. As the rea ding was, from time to time, resumed, the modulations of the voice developed significance, and Revelation shone in its own lijjht—simple, mighty uuto salva tion. The soul of the unbeliever was bowed ; it cried, “Lord! I believe.” What had been dark, was full of glory. What he had called trash, proved the “pearl of great price.” What he had thought folly, was profound wisdom. In early years, had he been taught to read, correctly, he would not have gone astray, thirsting as over deserts, when clear springs gushed all about him, hidden by verdure and flowers he had trodden down as figures in the sand. But he had associated the Scriptures with school-boy blunders and nonsense. Never hearing the Bible read naturally, he saw only “the letter which killeth.” As read now, he felt its spirit; and it gave him life. HCbecame a Chris tian minister, converted by correct reading of the Scriptures. Were clergymen, generally, good . rea ders, there would be fewer infidels.Many, in giving Scripture from the pulpit, make it contribute to spiritual death. Correct reading of the Bible is a conditiotfVvithout which it can not exert itg vitality bn the heart. If ministers who mourn that their la bors are vain, would Team to read well, their churches would be filled with belie vers. As they sow, they reap—Life Il lustrated. ./ THEY SAY. A more sneaking, cowardly, fiendish liar than ‘They say, does not exist. That personage is a universal scape-goat for personal gossip, envy, and malice; without form of flesh and blood, when invoked and yet stalkiug boldly in every community —The character is a myth.and yet real intane'iHla. »« clutching its victims and remorseless power. It is unseen, and yet from an ex haustless quiver wings its poisoned arrows from day to day . And no mail is proof; no character, position, or sex escapes; no sanctuary is too sacred; no home is bul warked 1%ainst its assaults. When one base heart wishes to assail some person’s character or motives. ‘They say’ is always invoked. That is the assassin who strikes in the cloud—the Thug who haunts the footsteps of the offender, and tortures from careless word or deed, and excuse for the stiletto. Men dare not always reveal their own feelings. With smiles and pre tended friendship, they present the enven omed shaft as coming from ‘They say.— Be sure, reader that when some villainous tale is told of you, and the relator cannot 1 give an author more tangible than ‘They I say’ for it, the slander is the creation of the heart by your side, and reeking with the poison of envy and hatred, and earnest with a wish to have the falsehood of‘They say’ bud into reality, and become current coin in the community. ‘They say’ we repeat, is as cowardly as it is false and fiendish; a phantom creation which smiles, while letting loose a brood of vipers to crawl in your path, and blast by their venom. To retail the stories of ‘They say' is to sneak behind an intangible personage aud put in circulation the in i famous iuuendoes and calumnies, which ifrom raw material, are forged nearer home Profane Philanthropy.—A solicitor of funds'in aid of one of our benqvoleut societies called upon a well-known mer chant prinoe of our city, and, presenting a copy of his report, aud requested a dona tion. The merchant, turning to his cash ier, remarked, ‘Mr.-, this appears to ■ be d—d good thing ; draw a check for fifty dollars for the gentleman.” There ! cipient of the charity thanked the doner, lp.it suggested that he would “prefer the 1 money without the d—d !’—AT. Y. Pont. i ' S£3~ It seems to be so easy to be £ooa natured, that it is a wonder anybody takes | the trouble to be anything else. RURAL, USE OF GUANO. For ten or twelve years past, Guano of some kind or other, has been rapidly in creasing, in its use as a fertiliser through out many parts of the world, and in this country especially. The soil of some | t^tes in our confederacy—among which may be named, Maryland, Virginia,North : and South Carolina, Georgia and Dele ware, with some portions of other States, —is better adapted to it than those of the East. It seems in fact to be absolutely necessary in order that,peculiar kinds of lands be made productive and profitable to agriculturists, for the fertilizer to be freely, though judiciously applied. Far mers now estKrihte its use as indispensa ble, not only if the view of self-defence but to place them on a parallel in the race of competition with their neighbors. When Peruvian Guano was first introduced and practically applied,.its effects were surpri sing and viewed as almost miraculous. The odious monopoly, however, of tljat article, and the exorbitant price demanded for it then, as now ; also the fact of its frequent application, unmixed with sui ta ble modifying ingredients, partially neu tralized, its real utility. Another result, growing out of the law, of necessity, was to superinduce or force an exigency in some appropriate substitute. Hence we soon found other guanos and manures dis covered and brought into use. Many of these were found not only good in themselves, but by being proportion ately mingled with Peruvian, gave it still greater value an adaptation, as well to the soil itself, as in causing greater yields of vegetation. These efforts have been prac tically and clearly demonstrated. Thus efforts have been practically and clearly demonstrated. Thus the demand for Pe ruvian have been .materially reduced, whilst a largely increased want is evinced for other guanoss whose component ingre dients are different ; seems designed, if we may so speak to regulate and graduate for agricultural purposes, just such an ar ticle as farmers and the permanent good of their lands may require. To them, therefore this discovery has imparted an important and valuable secret—one which all should realize and put into practice. Among the varieties of phosphate guano more recently discovered, a large amount which is now imported in this city, may t>e mentioned that brought from Navassa Island, imthe Caribbean Sea. This Is land, we believe, is possessed, and under the control of Baltimore interests. Competent chemists have carefully ana lized the “Navassa guano,”' and if their statements be reliable, which we cannot doubt, as th se gentlemen’s professional reputation Las been risked thereon, tfe must be highly- meritorious. The large preponderance of Ammonia In Peruvian, which used alone, has been found inju rious to the soil, produces an unnatural growth during the first and second years of its1 application. An axiom in physical philotopny teaches us that nature seeks repose. It is also that she requires an equilibrium. Any great excitement, ar tificial or otherwise, produces relaxation. This is an established principle. It fol lows, therefore, from what we have shown, that farmers and planters who find it expe dient to use guano, must realize decided economy in adopting the mixture of ‘ ‘Na vassa,” or some other equal approved pbosphatic fertilizer. We - give these views as the result of our-own reasoning, based also upon practical demonstrations as experienced by others, and for tliehim-. efit of whom they may concern,-—Bali, patriot- .
