perceived that our questions had aroused
the demon in his heart, and whatever
might have been the effect of the visita-
tation of his wrath upon us, we-were for-
tunatcly saved from it by the appearance
of another visitor. The person. was a
woman——yes, in the -true scnseof the-term,
we may sayu lady-like; manners, coun-
tenance, language, all indicating that she
had -been well educated, raised in ‘luxury,
and long .accustomed to refined society.
She was apparently about thirty-five
years of ‘age, and and, intellectual coun-
tenance, pale and delicate, and poorly
but. neatly clad‘. She advanced slowly
and timidly towards the old pawnbroker
and yet witha look of most honest, earn-
est purpose.
He‘cast—a glance upon us, which we
‘considered equivalent to saying that we
.had been there. long enough as a-spy up-
Von his actions, and that he would thank
_us_tp leave, the shop. We had some cu-
riosity to learn the object of this woni‘an’s
visit, and, therefore, dtermined‘ to re-
main. .

we close our relation of the incidents
-which occured dui-inga visit of an hour

practical workings of a system ~whiclu's‘-

all our large cities—a system which lives
and thrives only by the contributions it
extorts from the dissolute and the. unfor-
tunate poor—-a system which ‘aids vice

ally of the rum shopanil the gambling

erly beings, who seem‘ utterly destitute of
human sympathies. ' We abhor this ‘sys-
tern. Tiewed in the light of ‘its only pre-

Power of Speech.

tence, falling on a. fellow creature’_s ear;

“ A word spoken in season how. good is
it !” In another sense than the poet’ —
all wbrds are winged, and imagination can
ill track -.their flight. Evil or idle words
may seem, as they are uttered, lightand
trivial ‘things, yet, if light, theyare like
the filiaments of the thistle down,. each
feathery tuft floating on the slightest
breeze, beers with it the gem of a nox-
ious weed. Good, kind, true, holy words’
dropped in conversation, may' be little
.tVh_ought of too, but they are like seeds of
fruitful flower or tree, falling by the way- _
sidc, borne by some bird afar, haply
thereafter to fringe with beauty some
heretofore. barren mountain side, orimake
some nook of the wilderness to rejoice.-
-‘Andwe know not, if there is anything,
viewed either as an element of character,
or a means of usefulness, which admits of
more thorough reforma-tion, or calls more
imperativcly for the regulation‘ of fixed

conversation of Christians. The subjuga‘
tion ofthe untamcable tongue is ranked
in the i New Testament as the ' highest
achievement of ‘ self-control, and judging
from the paucity of cases where the con-

Light House Keepers.
An old friend, who keeps a light house,
‘says he thinks government is guilty of
unpardonable neglect toward those who
are appointed to such places as he holds.
The pay they receive is hardly suflicient
to -keep the light of existence in their
bodies._ They are usually situated in lone-
ly‘ spots deprived of the benefit of schools
‘for their c_h_i1dren-—of association - with
neighbors ; and, indeed cut oil" from those
agreeable enjoyinentswhich give zest to
life. They have no means of earning any-
thing beyond their small salaries, and
these only afford the most meagre subsis-
tence. Formerly they were paid for ex-
tra service, such as painting and white-
washing their premises ; but now they are
obligedto do these things as 9. part of
their regnlarduty. They are unable to
send their children away to school, and
hence they grow up in ignorance.—-
'l‘hese are serious complaints, and we
think if some member of Congress would
propose to relieve them by adding a few
dollars to the scanty allowance now doled
out to the keepers, he would do as much
good, and perform as pure an act of jus-
tice and benevolence, as it would be in
his power to accomplish.-—-Boston Post.
