There must be light somewhere, and Ul fivd it it can! Many along and weary mile tramped the boy in search of light; and at length he found it—found itin the cot of a poor widow whose only son, und only child, had gone away to sea. Upon the steps of that cot he had sunk down, weary and taint and hungered, and the widow had taken him in and loved and blessed him, O! bright and blessed hour! The genial warmth of loye permeated that tamished soul, and the image of the Redeemer was reflected as from the turnace of the puritier ol silver, The boy realized his ignorance, and thirsted for knowledge. ‘Pry to be good, and God will bless you!” Ile forgot not the words, nor the lips of her who spoke them, But this was not all, This was not the great shock that had broken the crust of his iron bondage. ‘There were other words in his memory: ‘ When you are hanged we shall be rid of you ; for hanged yowll surely be.” This was the shock—this the blow that had broken the chain, For the first time in his life his fierce spirit of antagon- isin had been turned against the evil geni- us of his lite; and when once he had grasped the enemy he would not surren- der.

Bat, merey ! —no sooner bad the well-meaning smith given the lad one good sound beating than he found his Torment changed toa young tiger; and at the end of amonth he sent him back fiom absolute fear of his life. At lorgth, when Tom was thirteen years old, Deavon’ Grover took him, thinking with a firm and steady hand to subdue hin. The first piece of intormation which Tem received upon entering the Deacon's house hold was, that he was a hardened wretch, totally depraved, and without a particle ot good in his heart; and upon that basis the work of subdaing was commenced. When Deacon Grover weeded out the tares from among the young and tender vegetables in his garden he was very care- ful and patient, and worked with the ut- most solitude, least he should unwittingly harm those plants which he wished to nourish; but when he came to the work ot weeding the tares out trom Tom's young spirit he banged, and shook, and beat, never thinking that there might, perchance, be some delicate tendrils ot affection there which were worth the sav- ing. The good Deacon held the lines for a year, and then turned the boy from his iloor, and told him to go back to the alms- house—turned him forth as we have seen, telling bim that the world would never be rid of him until he was hanged. And this was the picture which Tom Sterling gazed upon in his lonesome re- knowledge, he became inspired with the desire to help and to save just such poor unfortunate wails as he had been in the other years. ‘This he communicated to the clergyman of the village parish, who gladly gave him assistance. ‘Lom entered the work, and loved it. Every good deed he did swelled his heart bigger and big- ger, and eyery poor unfortunate he sayed gave him strength, and courage and faith, se bi ee ~_ee The Reverend Mr, Sterling was coming to preach in Lowhampton, and the people were all eager and anxious, His fame had reached them, for hardly a newspaper had come to the town for many months that had not contained au account of the great and saving work of that devoted apostle of salvation, Saturday evening came, and Mr. Ster- ling avrived at the door of Deacon Grover, —ior the good old man had enjoined: it upon the stage-driver that the Minister shonld be lett with him, The Deacon had expected to behold 9 fine-lvubing man, and he was not disappointed; though the apostle was younger than he had thought. But when, in the evening, they sat down tugether, the old man’s wonder and ad- miration were aroused, and he could only acknowledge to himself that in knowledge and expericuce his guest was & man ol surpassing stature, And not the shadow of a thought evossed his mind that this great and glorious worker of good was the aforetime Village ‘Torment that he had so harshly turned trom his door, It was Sunday—bright, beautiful, and calm, ‘The mitister stood in the pulpit, and before him the pews and the aisles were crowded, His frame shook when he arose; his lip quivered; and his eyes were moist. Veople wondered what could affect him so. But when he came to read to them the thirteenth chapter of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, they ceased to wonder at his emotions, being lost in won- der at the new beauties and deep lessons brought to light by his marvellous render- ing ol the celestial richness of the chapter— arichness which they had never belore diseoyered, When he prayed other eyes were moist besides his own, At length he read his text: ‘Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily, [say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one ot the ldust of these, ye did it not to me.” And then he went on to open up to his hearers one of the noblest departments of Christian labor, and one that was richest in its rewards,—the lilting up and the sav- ing of the unfortunate poor and forsaken, We may talk and tellus we please about how much we have loved our Redeemer, and how much we have honored him,—the question will surely be forced back upon ts from the Friend and S«-deereorsmners, « waae aayve yo done for these my out- : shouse, Nexta blackse: tt!

Ile had no blame,—only love and good- will;—but would they not accept the les- son, and lay it to heart? At lirst, when they knew who he was, it was as though a thunderbolt had burst among them, and they thought. when the services were ended, that they should shrink away in shame, and not dare to meethim. But when he came to the theme ot Divine love and torgiveness, und show- ed them his heart, all warm and grateful ; hand when he potred out upon them his rich blessing, they felt drawn irresistibly towards him; so that, when he descended trom the pulpit, they crowded around him, eager to respond, from their full hearts, to his weleome of love and good-will. Of all that congregation Deacon Grover alove held back. How could he meet the man whom he had, as a poor and sorsaken boy, cast out trom his doors? But Mr. Sterling at length gained his side, and took his arm; and on his way home he said to the old nan: ‘You don't know, Mr. Grover, how many tines Lt have blessed you im my heat.” Blessed me? Blessed ?” * Yos,—for ‘twas you who first turned my thonghts in the right direction, [know you did it roughly, and meant little good to me at the time; bat God hath wrought great good from it.” And thereupon Mr. Sterling told the story of that hour's meditation by the way- side. was low, but earnest and prayertul; his ear—as though he again stood by his A Death Kiss. THE NEEDLE OF A YOUNG MAN'S SWEET- HEART PIERCES HIS HEART WHILE KISSING HER LIPS. From the Nashville (Tenn.) Press. A young gentleman named Joo White, a very respectable, industrious, quiet, good-looking tellow, of about eighteen years of age, anda resident of German- town, went to south Nashville Saturday night to visit his lady love, a Miss Barnes. He had beer trequently to visit her before at various times, They were engaged to be married. He found her in the parlor, sewing, as a proper young girl should be. She was anxious to finish the article and therefore concluded not to throw it aside when he entered, particularly as he com- plimented her on her pretty appearance, with her beautiful face, bending over her slender fingers as she plied the stitches with as much grace and rapidity as other girls display when skimming oyer tho keys of u nasty piano, Ie took his seat beside her. They chat- ted very gayly. After waiting a few tninutes, which to him seemed hours, he became impatient, and longed to imprint a chaste kiss upon her ripe and pouting lips. With the view of carrying out his design, he let. his arm circle tee waist fartively, and as he was drawing her close to himself, she objected to being disturbed until her little work was finished ; but he insisted.—She made a motion to shove him off, as girls are said to general- ly. This motion proved fatal to her happi- ness and to his lite. Ife beeame impet- uous, and drawing her to him with much violence, the needle which was caught in her thimble got between them, the point toward his heart. It entered, and as he was about to im- print a kiss of love upon her lips, his own became ashy pale, his vigorous grasp re- laxed, and then the fire of love died out, as if by a celestial putf, at the moment of contact. He sickened, fell back apon the sofa, quite helpless. ‘Vhe young lady was much alarmed, and ran for assistance, The family ali ran into the room, and pro- ceeded to open his shirt collar, thinking he was in a tainting fit, and that the usual restoratives would suflice, In undoin, his vest, it was found that the needle ha penctrated his side yery deeply, a circam- stance which the young lady had never noticed in her fright. The doctor was sent for. Ile administered what remedies he could. Partial consciousness was restored, and the young fellow enabled to talk. The scene between him and_ his first, lust love, wis extremely affect- ing. She wept like one who feels that ol happiness-or ts fost, and he scemec to regret her loss and not his own con- dition, Ie consoled her by saying that she would soon get another lover to fill his place, who would be more worthy of her than he could hope to be, and who would make her happy. ‘This but in- creased her sorrow. She sank dowh upon the floor beside him and cried aloud. When he was becoming worse, and the doctor gave the emphatic opinion that he could not live, she started suddenly to her feet, and running into another room, swallow- eda heavy dose of laudanum, which was kept there for the use of a young member of the family that was sick. It was some- time before she was discovered, and it was with the utmost dillienlty she was brought back to consciousness. The first word she uttered was, **O, where is he? let me go to him; I will be withhim.” At the same instant the young gentleman was resigning his spirit into the hands ot its Maker in the adjoining room, He died about 10 o'clock, She is still in a precari- ous condition, and cyinces symptoms ct insanity.
