. Preach to the Children.
“I have heard my father say, and well my father know,
In it was meat for full grown men, and milk for child-
ren too.” , ‘
There was an clelmnt in the discourses of
the olden time which the scrmonizers of the
present day,f0r the most part,wholey ignore.
Those ancient men, of whom it is now fash-
ionable to speak .slightly, as men Of iron
mould and adamant heart, had in them
some spring of tenderness, which kept alive
on interest in the little people.
Passing by that species of pulpit eloquence
which, in our day, offers hardly more than
milk and water for the “full-grown man,”
how few of those sermons, which. are
worthy theing called food for the experi-
enced disciple, have in them a. single word
for the little one! While the sheep are fed,
the lambs are frisking about the meadow, or
fast asleep beneath the summer sun. Do
you not see them, ministers, from your high
vantage ground ? DO you not detect the
various expedients to which the children
resort to while away the weary hours—the
knotting of handkerchiefs; the intaglios
wrought; with pin-points on many a'surl'ace,
better without such decoration - the restless
watching Of the clock ; the smallbufiboncry
of face—making, and at length—a relief to
“parents and all natural guardians,”—as to
the little head itself, the quiet and comfor-
table nap? You may say: “Let them go to
teh Sabbath-school—that is the place for
children.” ‘ Yes; but it is not the only place,
nor the best place. They should be early
taught that they have a right in the! temple,
as well as in the porch. The little people
should not be made to feel themselves a
tribe apart, but should be taught their unity
with the whole congregation. The lambs
aré’ as truly a portion of the flock as the
fleece—laden sheep. Three minutes allotted
to the children, in every sermon, surely
would be little time to give them, when you
reflect that the fast-flying hours and .days
are bringing them to be, almost before yo
are aware, the men and women, the father
and mothers, of society! And were they
sure that. these few words were coming,
their interest wouldbe kept awake in watch-
ing for thém; and so, by the way, they might
pick up some seeds of truth intended for
their elders, which yet should spring up in
the geod soil of the young heart, and grow
and bring forth fruit to the glory of Him who
loved the little children; which should add
to the “ golden sheaves ” you shall bear to
the heavenly garner-the tender and graceful,
and the delicate fragrance Of the opening
flower, or the word l Think of it, ye preach—
ers of the word! Thinbf the great influ-
ence you would gain over this class of your
people, by showing them that you under»
stand and love them. Some of them will
live to bless you here; many of them will be
and precious greeting, when you also shall
gaming-h the gates of pearl, to hear the.
childlike voices singing around you, and
joining in your welcome home?—to hear
from the lips whence fell the command.
Feed my lambs,“ the blssed assurance:
" Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least
of these,“ ye did it unto me?”

AFTER TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS EXPERIENCE THE FACT IS NOW ESTABLISHED BEYOND A DOUBT, THAT
v‘AN--I—I'OOSEAR ac AMBLER
040 MILES on THE
Union Pacific
RAILROAD
Are now finished and in operation. Sixty miles of
track have been laid this spring, and the work along
the whole line between the Atlantic and Pacific States
is being pushed forward more rapidly than ever be-
fore. More than twenty thousand men are employed
and it is not impossible that the entire track, from
Omaha to Sacramento, will be finished in 1809 instead
_of 1870. The means provided are ample, and all that
energy, men and money can do to secure the comple,
tion of this
/
G-IIEAT NATIONAL WORK,
at the earliest possible day, will he done.
The UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CO. rcccivc:
I.——A Government Grant of the right of way,
and all necessary tlmberand other materials found
-along the line of its operations.
II.— A Government. Grant Of 12,500 acres 01'
land to the mile, taken in alternate sections on
each side of its road. This is an absolute dona-
tion, and will be a source of large revenue in the
futurc.
III.—A Government Grant of United States
Thirty year Bonds, amounting to from 316,000 to
848,000 per mile, according to thc difiicultics to be
surmounted on the yarious sections to be built.
The Government takes a second mortgage as se-
' curity, and it is expected that not only the interest
but the principal amount may be paid in services
rendered by the Company in transporting troops,
mails, &c. The interest is now much more than
paid in this way, besides securing a great saving
in time and money to the Government. '
IV.-—A Government Grant. of the right to is-
sue its FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, to aid in
building the road, to the same amount as the U.
S. Bonds, issued for the same purpose, and no
more. The GOVERNMENT Pnnurrs the Trustees for
the Mort gage Bondholdcrs to deliver the Bonds to
the Company only as the road is completed, and
after it has been examined by United States Com-
missioners and pronounced to bé in all respects a
first-class Railroad, laid with a heavy T rail, arid
completely supplied with depots, stations, turn- -
outs, car-sh s, locomotives, cars, &c.
N.—A Capital Stock Subscription from the
Stockholders, of which over Eight Million Dollars
have been paid in upon the work already done, _
and will be increased as the wants of thc Compa-
ny require.
VL—th Cash Earnings on its Way Business,
that already amount to more than the interest on
the First Mortgage Bonds. These carnin gs are no
indication of the vust'through traffic. that must fol-
low thc opening of the Pacific, but they certainly .
prove that '
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
upon such a' property, costing neari y three times their
amount, ,
Arc Secured Beyond Any Contlugcncy.
The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for
$1,000 each, and have coupons attached. They hear an-
nual interest, payable on the first daysof J auuary and
July at: the Company's Ofiice in the City of New York,
at. the rate of six per cent. in gold. The Principal is
payable in gold at'maturity. The price is 102, and at
the present rate of gold, they pay a liberal income on
their cost. . , '
The Company believe that these Bonds, at the pres-
ent rate are the cheapest. security in the market. and
reserve the right to aduandc the price at any time."
Subscriplions will be received in New York.
NEARLY NINE PER CENT.,_'
AND IT- IS BELlEVED THAT THEY‘ WILL SOON
0 BE AT A PREMIUM.
The Company reserve the right to advance the price
of their bonds to a rat . ove par at any time, and
will not fill any orders or cccivc any subscriptions on
which the money has not been act'unlly paid at the
Company’s ofllcc before the time of such advance.
