Idleness, vice, and in temperance had done their miserable work, and the dead mother lay cold and s ta rk amid her wretched children. She had fallen upon the threshold of her own door in a drunken fit, and died in the presence of her fr ightened little ones.

Death touches the springs of our common humani ty . This woman bad been despised, scoffed at , and angri ly denounced by nearly every man, woman, and child in the vil lage; bu t now as the fact of her death was passed from lip to lip, in subdued tones, pity took the place of anger , and sorrow of denunciat ion. Neighbors went hasti ly to the old tumble-down hut, in which she bad secured little more than a place of shelter from summer heats aud win-ter colds ; some with grave-c lo thes for a de-cent in terment for the b o d y ; and some with food for the ha l f -s tarv ing children, three in number . Of these, John , the eldest, a boy of twelve, was a s tou t lad, able to earn his liv-ing with any farmer . Kate , between ten and eleven, was a br ight , ac t ive girl, Out of whom someth ing clever might be made, if in good h a n d s ; but poor little Maggie, the youngest , was hopelessly diseased. Two years before, a fall from the window had injured her spine, and she had not been able to leave her bed since, except when lifted in the a rms of her mother .

W h a t is to be done with the c h i l d r e n ? " T h a t was the chief question now. The dead mother would go under ground, and be forev-er beyond al l-care or concern of the villagers. But the chi ldren mus t not be left to s ta rve . After cons ider ing the ma t t e r , and ta lk ing it over with his wife, farmer Jones said that he would take J o h n and d o wall by him, now tha t bis mother was ou t of the way ; and Mrs. Ellis, who had been looking ou t lor a bound girl, concluded t h a t it would be char i table in her to m a k e choice pf Katy , even though she was too young to be of much use for several years .

" I could do much bet ter , I know," said Mrs. El l is ; " but a s no one seems inclined to t ake her, 1 must ac t from a sense of duty. I expect to have trouble with the child ; for she ' s an undiscipl ined th ing—used to having her own way."

But no one said, " I ' l l take Maggie ." P i ty-ng glances were cas t on her wan and wasted

torm, aud thoughts were troubled on her ac-count . Mothers b rought cast-off ga rments , and removing her soiled and ragged clothes, dressed her in clean at t i re . The sad eyes and pat ient face of the little one touched many hear ts , and even knocked a t them for en t rance . But none opened to take her in. Who wanted a bedridden child ?

" T a k e her to the poor-house," said a rough man to whom the question, " Wha t ' s to he done with Maggie?" was asked. " N o b o d y ' s going to be bothered with he r . "

" The poor -house is a sad place for a sick, helpless chi ld," answered one.

" For your child or mine," said the other, lightly speak ing ; " b u t for this b ra t it will prove a blessed change . She will be kept clean, have heal thy food, and be doctored, which is more than can be said of her past condi t ion ."

There was reason in "that, bu t still it d idn ' t sat isfy. The day following the day of death was made the day of burial . A few neigh-bors were a t the miserable hovel, but none followed the dead c a r t a s it bore the unhonor-ed remains to its pauper grave. Farmer Jones , af ter the coffin was taken out, placed John in his wagon and drove away, satisfied tha t he had done his par t . Mrs. Ellis spoke to Kate with a hurr ied a i r — B i d your s is ter good-bye," and drew the tearful children apa r t ere scarcely their lips had touched iu a sobbing farewell . Hasti ly o thers went out, some glanc-ing a t Maggie, and some resolutely refra ining lrom a look, until nil had gone. She was a lone! Ju s t over the threshold, Joe Thomp-son, the wheelwright , paused, and said to the b lacksmi th ' s wife:

'• I t ' s a cruel th ing to leave her so ." " Then t ake her to the poor-house ; she'll

have to go there ," answered the b l acksmi th ' s wife, springing away and leaving Joe behind.

" O b , Mr. Thompson 1" she, cried oflt, ca tch-ing her suspended breath, " d o n ' t leave me here all alone I"

Though rough in exterior, Joe Thompson, the wheelwright , had a heart , and it was very tender in some places. He liked children, and was pleased to hivve them come into his s h o p , where many a sled and wagon was made or mendeil for the village lads without a Uraft on their hoarded sixpences.

" No, dear , " he answered, in a kind voice, going to the bed and s tooping down over the child, " y o u shan ' t be left here a lone." Then be wrapped her, with the gentleness almost of a woman, in the clean bedclothes which some neighbor had b rough t ; and, l ift ing her iu his

Now. Joe Thompson ' s wife, who happ .ned to be childless, was not a woman ol ,.'in:ily temper, not much given to self-denial lor ol ti-ers' good, and Joe had well-grounded doul /h touch ing the manner of g ree t ing he should re-ceive on his arr ival . Mrs. Thompson saw him approach ing from the window, ami with ruffling features mot him a few pace3 from the door, as he opened the ga te and came in. He bore a precious burden, and he felt it to be so. As his a rms held the sick child to his breasl , a sphere of tenderness went ou t from her, ami ; penetra ted his feelings. A bond had already j corded itself around them both, aud love was ' spr inging into life.

" Wha t have you t h e r e ? " sharply ques t ion - j ed Mrs. Thompson.

Joe felt the child s t a r t and shrink agains t j him. He did not reply, except by a look tha t i

i pleading and caut ionary , tha t said, " Wai t a moment for explanat ions , and be g e n t l e ; " and, pass ing in, carr ied Maggie to a .small chamber on the first floor, and laid her on a bed. Then s tepping back , he shut the door and stood face to face with his v inegar- tem-pered wife in the passage-way outside

" Y o u haven ' t brought home t h a t sick b r a t ? " Anger and a s ton i shmen t were in the tones of Mrs. Joe Thompson ; her face was in a flame.

" I th ink women's hear t s a re sometimes very h a r d , " said Joe . Usually Joe Thompson got out of his wile 's way, or kept rigidly silent and nonconibat ive when she fired up on any s u b j e c t ; it was with Some surprise, therefore , tha t she now encountered a firmly set countcn-ance and a resolute pair of eyes.

" Women 's hear ts a re not half so hard as men ' s . "

Joe saw, by a quick intuit ion, tha t his reso-lute bear ing had impressed his wife, and he answered quickly, and with real indignat ion .

Be t h a t as it may, every woman a t the fu-neral turned her eyes steadily from the sick chi ld 's face, and when the ca r t went off with her dead mother , hurr ied away, am1 lelt ber alone in t h a t old hut, with the ho t sun not an hour in the sky "

" W h e r e were J o h n and Kate ?" asked Mrs. Thompson.

" F a r m e r Jones tossed J o h n in his wagon, and drove off. Kate went home with Mrs. El-l is ; but nobody wanted the poor sick one. ' S e n d her to the poor-house, ' was the cry.

" W h y d idn ' t you let her go, t hen? W h a t did you br ing her here for ?"

" S h e c a n ' t walk to the poor-house ," said J o e ; " s o m e b o d y ' s a rms mus t car ry her, and mine are s t rong enough for tha t t a s k . "

" T h e n why d idn ' t you keep on ? W h y did you s top h e r e ? " demanded his wife.

" Because I am not ap t to eo on fool's er-rands . The guard ians mus t first be seen, and a permi t ob ta ined ."

There was no ga insay ing this. " When will you see the g u a r d i a n s ? " was

asked with i r repressible impat ience. " T o - m o r r o w . " " W h y put i t off until to m o r r o w ? Go at

once for the permit, and ge t the whole thing off your hands to -n igh t . "

" J a n e , " said the wheelwright , with an im-pressiveness of tone tha t greatly subdued hi3 wife, " I read in the Bible sometimes, and find much said about little chi ldren—how the Sa-vior rebuked the disciples who would not re-ceive them : how He took them up in His a rms and blessed them ; and how He said t h a t whosoever gave them a cup of cold water should not go- unrewarded. Now, it is a small th ing for us to keep this poor motherless little one for a single n i g h t ; to he kind to her for a single n i g h t ; to make her comfor table for a single n i g h t . "

T h e voice of tli%gtrong, rough man, shook, and he turned his licnd away, so tha t the mois-ture in his eyes migh t not be seen. Mrs. Thompson did not answer , but a sof t feeling crept into her hear t .

" Look a t her kindly, J a n e ; speak to her kindly," said Joe. " Think of her dead mo-ther, and the loneliness, the pain, the sor row tha t must be on all her coming l i fe ." The softness of his hear t gave unwonted eloquence to his lips.

Mrs. Thompson did not reply, bu t present-ly turned towards the little chamber where her husband had deposited Maggie ; and pushing open the door, went quiet ly in. Joe did not fol low; he saw tha t her s ta te had changed, and felt tha t it would be best to leave her. a lone with the child. So he weut to his shop, which stood near the house, and worked until dusky evening released him from his litbor. A l ight sh in ing through the little chamber j window was the first object t h a t a t t r ac ted J o e ' s a t tent ion on turning towards the house ; :

it was a good omen. The path led him by ! this window, and when opposite, he could no t j help pausing to look in." It was now dark enough outside to screen him from observa-tion. Maggie lay a little raised on a pillow with a lamp shining full upon her face. Mrs. Thompson was s i t t ing by the bed, ta lking to the chi ld : but her back was towards the win-dow, so tha t her countenance was not seen. From Maggie's face, therefore, Joe mus t read the churacter of their intercourse. He saw tha t her eyes were intently fixed upon his wife; tha t now and then a few words came as if in answers , from her lips ; tha t ber expres-sion was sad, lender ; but he saw nothing of bit terness or pain. A deep drawn breath was lollowed by one of relief, a s a weight lifted it-self from his hear t .

Qf entering, Joe did not go immediately to the little chamber . His heavy tread about the kitchen brought his wife s o m e w h a t ! hurriedly from the room where she had been j with Maggie. Joe thought it best not lo re- j fer to the child, nor to manifes t any concern j in regard to her.

'• How soon will supper be r e a d y ? " b e | asked.

Righ t soon," answered Mrs. Thompson , beginning to bustle about . There was no a3- J perity in her voice. '•

Af te r washing from his hands and face the dus t and soil of work, Joe left the k i tchen and went to Ihe little bedroom A. pair <>f large, br ight eyes looked up a t him from the snowy bed ; looked a t him tenderly, grateful ly, pleadingly. How his hear t swelled in his bo-som ! With what a quicker motion came I!M> hear tbea ts I Joe sa t down, and now for the first time examining the thin face carefully un-der the lamp-light, saw tha t it was an a t t rac t -ive face, and full of a childish sweetness I whiyh suffering had not been able to obl i i - j erate.

" Y o u r name ia Maggie?" ho said, as be sa t down aud took her soft hand in his

po SiftTn uC W . «

" I s h a ' n ' t mind lha t for a day or two. Poor thing I"

Joe did not see the guard ians of the poor on tha t day, on the next, nor on the follow-ing. In fac t he never saw them at all on Maggie 's account, for inAess than a week Mrs. Joe Thompson would as soon have thought of taking up her own abode in the alm8-house as sending Maggie there.

Wha t l ight and blessing did t h a t sick and helpless child br ing to the home of Joe Thompson, the poor whee lwr igh t ! It had been dark and cold and miserable there for a long time, j u s t because his wife had nothing lo love and care for out of herself, and so became sour, i rr i table, i l l - tempered, and self-afflicting iu the desolation of her woman's nature . Now the sweetness of tha t sick child, looking ever to her in love, patience, and gra t i tude , was as honey to her soul, and she carried in her heart , as well as in her a rms , a precious burden. As for Joe Thompson, there was not a man in all the neighborhood who drank daily of a more precious wine of life than he . - An angel had come to his house, disguised as a sick, help-less, and miserable child, and filled all i ts chambers with the sunshine of love.

A Spirit Whisper. My happiness has ever been in proportion lo

the fullness of love tha t informs my life, and in proportion to my happiness .is my desire to ass is t those now in the morning ot their ca-reer, to lead them to a knowledge of those immutable principles on which all laws are lounded. Yet they ofteu prefer marvels, sweet exhibit ions of love, and even autocra t ic dictat ions entirely dest i tute of t rue wisdom. Lulled into languor by cunning flatteries, they are more readily subjected to the control of ignorant , ambit ious, designing spirits, who make promises they cannot fulfill. Believe t h e n uot, and do not sacrifice your individual freedom.

Singular Snow-Shower. A c o r r e s p o n d e n t , w r i t i n g f r o m T a m w o r i h ,

N. H , s ta tes t ha t on the l o lh of May, a f t e r r a i n h a d b e e n f a l l i n g c o p i o u s l y d u r i n g t h e early pa r t of the moru ing , suddenly, at abou t 8 o 'c lock, wi thout any sensible change of t empera tu re , the rain gave place to one of tbe mos t s ingular and beaut i lu l showers of snow which it is possible to imagine . I t com-menced fal l ing in flakes, or conger ies of flakes, vary ing in size f rom tha t of a d ime to a dol-la r , and some even as la rge as tbe palm of the h a n d . T h e r e be ing no movement of the air , they dropped direct ly , in slow and easy mo-tion, f rom their l abora tory in the clouds, a l igh t ing like fea thers or masses of e ider-down upon the green g rass ca rpe t with which the ear th was overspread , unti l , wi thin the space of th i r ty minutes or so, the whole face of Na tu re was changed, present ing, over val-ley, hill, and mounta in , one unbroken aspec t of midwinter .

The t rees being in incipient leaf re ta ined the i r port ion of the fleecy burden upon the ex-tremity of every twig, showing a close resem-blance , in the open fields, to app le t rees in their season of m o s t perfec t bloom, and spreading over the denser fores ts an investi-ture of purer whi teness t han t h a t of the o rd i -nary winter scene.

A very s t r ik ing and beaut i fu l feature of th i s phenomenon (tor such i t may be called) was the appea rance of tbe fal l ing snow, when seen in the air by the eye directed toward the zenith. The flakes, or masses , were of such huge dimensions t ha t they could be dis t inct ly seen alof t , as lar us tbe eye could rcach, anil t raced wi thout confusion in their descen t to t be ground ; while to a more d iscurs ive view the ent i re hemisphere of the upper a i r seemed teeming with r i n g e d life.

Life with the Contrabands. In spi te of the fears and efforts of Conserva-

The negro is receiving a degree of cons idera te a t tent ion long denied him on ac-coun t of h is color aud s ta t ion .

Nor is this g rowing famil iar i ty with tbe personal peculiar i t ies , habi ts , needs, and tendenc ies of the colored people, confined to readers of the more radical journa l s . Hun-d reds of war cor respondents and wri ters , who never before wasted a dozen t h o u g h t s on tbe Afr ican, o t h e r t han t o dec la re him a t rouble and a nuisance, now have the manifold, seri-ous , and complicated ques t ions connec ted with their t r ea tment as s laves , as f reemen, and as t ha t s t range , mongrel cha rac te r , ne i ther s lave nor free, but con t r aband , daily and hourly th rus t upou them.

Mrs. Conan t , one of t be co r re sponden t s of the Independent, a week or two ago called a t -tention to the fact t h a t Chr i s t i an i ty g ives us the a s su rance t h a t t h e e te rna l in te res t s of a l l little chi ldren w i t h d r a w n from this world are safe. Dr. F i sher , of Hamil ton College, recent-ly p reached tho s a m e doc t r ine . Indeed we hear it on all s ides , and the man who should now preach t h a t infants a re damned to endless hell t o rmen t s would be r ega rded a s l i t t le be t -than pagan .

In view of th i s concession by P r o t e s t a n t Churches , the Christian Ambassculor (Univer -salist) inqui res a f t e r the remains of the Ca l -vinist ic doct r ines of or iginal sin. to ta l deprav-ity, election, &c., Ac., and a d d s :

" I f a l l chi ldren dy ing in in fancy a re to be saved, then our o r thodox fr iends should look upon the ear ly d e a t h of t he i r ch i ldren a s a n infinite blessing.

PHONOGRAPHIC A LL7 REPORTED BY ROBERT 8 . MOORE.

[NOTE —A New York Daily contained the fol-lowing pa rag raph , which was handed to Mr. Davis to read jus t before the time arrived for the delivery of his evening lecture : "Fa the r Smarius, of the Roman Catholic Church, f rom S t Louis, recently delivered a lecture in the College of St. Xavier , in this city, to a large congregat ion, mostly women, aga ins t the doctr ines and teach-ings of modern Spir i tual ism. He treated Spirit-ualism as the ex t reme result* of New England Protestant ism. The theory, as t augh t by its sup-posed original apostles, J u d g e Edmonds and An-drew Jacksou Davis, is old Hindoo Pantheism, a u d was exploded seventeen centuries ago! T h e Witch of Endor was a medium like the class of modern times."' Sac , &c. The foregoing was the substance of the pa rag raph . After reading it, Mr- Davis made the following reply.—REP.]

ing Called you away from the armies of Life.

Folding your tent, as the flowers a t even Close up their leaves to the night-dews of hea-

ven, Silent, like thanks f rom a sad hea r t forgiven,

You passed from ear th ' s blood-crimsoned val-leys of s t r i f e ;

Passed from its desolate regions of sadness, Passed from its scenes of content ion and madness, F rom its loue vales where the founta ins of glad-

ness Are ruffled betimes by the gales of d e s p a i r -

Passed to the land of the spir i t ' s fruit ion, Passed to the gardens^of beauty elysian, To the br igh t goal of life's g lor ious mission,

Passed on to heaven to wai t for us there.

Sleep, brother , sleep ! for your last march i. ed—
