Welcome thou dark December morn,
That breaks across a world of snow. '
Ye clouds of winter. tempest-torn,
Ye blasts from icy caves that blow!
For with you comes a sacred bandI
Of sea worn wanderers, faint with toil,
To plant upon a chosen land
God’s flow er of freedom in the soil.
Oh guard that flower thus sown in tears,
And hedged about with patient prayer, .
So nursed amid such hopes and fears,
So watched through danger’s night of care
Oh glorious mom 1 Oh glorious flower!
Immortal league of trusting souls! .
Time ne'er will dim that hallowedhour;
While round our shores the free sea rolls.
Gough’s dread of an Audience.
In his new lecture, “Platform Experienc-
es," John B. Cough says: “I never knew a
time when I did not dread an audience.
Often. that fear has . amounted ‘to positive
sufiering, and. seldom am I called on to face
an audience when I would rather by far run
the other way, and as I grow older, this
suffering is increasing. A very large assem-
bly depresses me at the first sight: I have
often begged the chairman to make an ad—
dress to give me more time to recover. There
are occasions when, withoul relief of the
chairman’s remarks. I should commence my
speech falteringly and with tears. In my
suffering, trembling seizes upon my nerve ;
my throat. and tongue become dry and fever-
ish; my voice hoarse or husky, until the first
few minutes have passed. At one time the
painful sensation may be much stronger than
at another, but the occasions are very‘rare
when I am in any good degree unsmbarras-
sed, and,never am I not perfect ease in sight
of an audience. There are some persons who
consider this aflectation. I have been told
that any man who had faced over 8000
audiences should be nervous or apprehensive
or troubled. at the sight of the people. ’ From
the first speech I ever made, when my heart
beat like a trip hammer, and after uttering
the half dozen sentences I sat down shaking
in every limb, to the last, I have more or
less suffered from this unaccountable dread
at every public address. I think in my
whole experience I have never volunteered a
speech and never asked for an invitation to
address an audience. After .the first ner-
vousness has passed, I have but little sense -
tion; except the desire to make my audi-
. ence feel as I feel, see as I see, and to gain
dominion for the time being over their wits
and affections. If I succeed in this, or think
that I have their sympathy. and especially
should be responsive, the fear is all gone, then
comes a consciousness of power that exhila-
rates. excites and produces a strange sensation
of delight. -
In Spurgeon's church, in England, I was
once announced to speak before an audience
of more than 6,700 people. The fright seiz-
ed me so violently that I wasaobliged to beg
on for a few minutes until I could go into the
vestry and calm myself. I spoke in the old
Tremont Temple 222 times, and, many a time
I have walked up and dov‘vn the street outside
with my wife, saying that I felt as if I could
not possibly speak. ,
When placed in circumstances new and
strange, I have been asked suddenly to per-
form some public service, through a nervous
timidity I have been utterly unable to com-
ply with the request. During my recent
visit in London, I frequently heard Dr.
Joseph Parker. On one occasion, attire close
clone of his powerful-sermonii. to which I
listened with intense interest, I was startled
to hear him say: '
“I ‘see my friend John B. Gough in the
audience. Will be please come into the pulpit
while they are singing the anthem, and con-
, clude divine service with prayer 2"
I ti'irnedto myxwife and said i
' . “Mary, what shall I do ? Ican't go up there
_ to take part in the service."
She said very quietly, “You had better go
into the pulpit and explain to Dr. Parker."
So with head beat, I passed down the
aisle, crept up stairs and entered the desk,
where Dr. Parker sat waiting for me. His
pulpit, a very beautiful one, presented to him
* by the corporation of London, is large and
rather high. As I half stopped I could hardly
be seen by the congregation. _
There is a small platform on which the
doctor stands.
I said, “I cannot pray here."
“Oh, yes. you can."
“But I cannot here. If I were alone I
could, but here, after that sermon, I cannot
lead the devotion and worship of this .people
Indeed—indeed, I cannot. Please excuse
me."
He very kindly excused me, and asked me .
to give out a hymn. I told himll would try
to do that. He told me to give out the 27th
hymn, and only read the first verse. I had
just commenced when he bade [me stand on _
the platform, as not muce more than my head
could be seen by the audience below. That
added to my embarrassment.
I stood on the platform and said in a very
husky voice. “The 28th hymn.”
He corrected me: “The 27th. hymn.”
More and more nervous, I said : “The 27th
'hymn," and blundered through four lines.
but how, I know not. .
Now this was real suffering, and I, suppose
I ought to have been in the spirit of prayer
for we are told to “continue instant in pray-
er.” But to me it has ever been a task and a
cross to lead the devotions of others; for I
. consider it the most solemn exercise in which
a man can engage. I cannot help it and I
cannot overeoine it. '
When Rev. Mr. Finney was in Aberdeen,
Scotland, I heard from him a wonderful ser-
men. The next morning he, with his wife,
called on us at the hotel.
In the course of our conversation I said
“Mr. Finney, I fear I am in the seventh chap-
ter of Romans."
“What?"
“I fear I am in the seventh chapter of
, Romans," .
_, He instantly said, “Let us kneel down,"
When we were on our knees he said :
“Pray.”
I told him I could not.
“Pray,” he replied.
“I cannot."
"Pray,” again he ;bade me.
“I cannot pray, and I will no .”
Then he said, “O Lord, have mercy on this
wiry, little unbeliever," and offered a prayer
himself.

A UNION Canaan—The only church at
San Lorenzo, Cal., is a union church, which
was formed by the association of members
of .several denominations, who concluded that
neither of their churches was strong enough
to sustain a separate organization. They
adopted a creed based on the Apostles’ Creed
and have prospered, so that they do not ap—

visited them, that the change from denomin.
atlonalism to platform of common union “has

New Year’s Eve in Chinatown.
On the last evening of the old year—Feb-
ruary Sin the Gregorian calendar—“China-
. town” presented a busy, bustling. weird air,
which plainly betokened an impending feast
of importance. The sign-boards, with their
curious hieroglyphics—well adapted for
decorative effects—had generally been re—
painted and regilded. most of them being
draped with bright scarlet cotton cloth—a
favorite material fdr festooning. Red is the
Chinese festal color, and is believed to be
eflicacious in keeping away evil spirits,- and
it is not unusual to see strands of red silk
braided in children’s queues to prevent them
from being cut off by malicious spirits.
Many of the shops displayed within and
without sprigs of hinwha, or “golden flow-
ers," which are merely bunches of brass
tinsel wire and foil twined,and cut into
floriated forms; these are principally used as
Oflefings before the ancestral tablet and in
the temples. The hotels of the doors, the
windows,and blank spaces on the walls were
already covered with new colored papers,
principally red and orange, of various sizes,
on which sentences appropriate to the season
are painted. White paper denotes that the
inmates have lost a parent during the past
year; blue or yellow signifies a second year’s
mourning for father or mother; the death of
a grandparent is indicated by dark carnation;
but the joyous red predominated, and min—
gled with them were many red and orange
papers :stippled with gold. The advertise-
ment boards were freshly covered with clean
notices printed in the some style—black
characters on red ground. The writing on
the papers pasted above and beside the doors
mainly expressed the hope that the five
blessings in which are summed up all
the elements of human felicity—health,
riches, longevity, love of virtue, and a natu-
ral death—might be the portion of the
indwellers. The larger Ones contained such
sentences as these: “May Heaven give hap-
piness I” “May 1 never be without rich cus—
tomersl" “Good hope.” “Good will come
to us.” “Love one ‘auother." "Peace be to
those who come out and go in. ” “May we
never be without wisdom.” '
‘Devout Chinese avail themselves of this
season to settle their accounts with the gods,
and the walls of the hall and staircase of the
principal ‘Joss-house were cohered with col-
cred slips of paper, about twelve inches long
by four wide, containing the names of the
donors to the idols. Besides these records of
generous fidelity to a national creed, were
scrolls on which were written antithetical
sentencesjreferring to the attributes of some
favorite god. Ornamental tablets of wood
are also presented by admiring votaries, and
hang from the ceilings or against the walls of
the temples.
Gorgeous lanterns were suspended in front
of doors or hung in rows from the numerous
balconies. The flags of the Consulate, of the
Six Companies, of thefiseveral temples, etc.,
fluttered in the breeze, and the occasional
crackle, crackle, of fire crackers gave warn -
ing of the coming bedlam at midnight, when
gongs, tom-toms (drums), bombs, and unlim-
ited quantities of fire crackers were to unite
in driving away all.the evil spirits from the
birth of the new year—the 6th of Qwong
See. At nearly every window was to be
seen a dish of the favorite Chinese lily, the
narcissus, in full bloom. The shops display-
ed tables covered with them to tempt tardy
purchasers, and the streets were crowded
with “Celestials,” some carrying a New
Year’s offering to friend or master, others
hastening to make final household investments
before the shops closed—not to re-open nntil'i
were passed.
Glimpses into interiors and down base—
ments revealed strange sights. The whole
population appeared to have submitted its
head to the razor, and an unprejudiced ob-
server, noting the co ormation of the vari-
ous Chinese foreheads, could not but be im—
pressed by the phrenological; indications,
suggesting at least an average intelligence.
New clothes were being extensively donned :
those who cannot afford to purchase a suit
at this season borrow for the occasion. Clean
white Stocking-leggings caught the eye be-
low each blue blouse, and silk and satin had
replaced the ordinary cloth or cotton attire
of many a worthy merchant. A favorite
New Year’s present amongst the lower classes
is 'a pair of shoes. But the most momentous
business of the hour was the settling of ac-
counts. All debts must be cancelled before
the new year, and this universal custom—not
law—has manifest advantages. The swan-
pwan, or counting board, and brush pencils.
were not at rest for an instant, and it was far
into the small hours of the night before many
merchants left their desks. Before midnight
a feast took place in each household, when
food was eaten with cerfain ceremonies, vari-
ously, apportioned to the sacrifice to Heaven
and Earth, the worship of the favorite
family gods, and the offering to deceased
ancestors. Before the ancestral tablets, or
household idol, incense was consumed, punk
mocklmoncy, and-pieces of red paper cover—
ed with printed prayers,rwcre burned. Many
parties of Chinese whose ordinary homes are
with their American employers, clubbed to—
gether for this festal season, and rented
rooms, where conjointly they held their
midnight feasts. As the bells announced
the mystic hour of twelve, the dawn of a
new period was welcomed by musical strains
peculiar to the inhabitants of the “Middle
Kingdom,” by crackers, bombs and “flowers,”
(rockets, etc.). A procession of priests cu-
riously costumed, walking in single file, with
lanterns, made a tour of the different tem-
ples, where they were received by the resi-
dent priests. Food, incense, tea, printed
prayers, and mock money were offered to the
gods, and appropriate fare partaken of 'by
their earthly ministers. Generous hospitality
is-the feature of the New Year season, and
there is a Chinese saying “that during the
first part of the first moon no one has on
empty stomach."-—Cunsxmn BALDWIN. in
Harper’s Magazine for December.

A piercing shriek and}. fainting fit pro-
claimed to a family in Newburyport, Mesa,
,a few days ago that the dearest old lady in
the town had a mouse in her pocket. Some.
one rushed to her rescue, hastily assisted her
to divest herself of her wrapper, firmly
grasping the mouth of the pocket to prevent
the escape of the dangerous animal. The
garment was then turned over to the man of
,the house, and he, armed with a club, pro—
“ fceeded to the back yard to dispatch the
offender. The pocket was opened gradually,
but no mouse appeQd. Finally, gaining
courage, he found the cause of all the
excitement to be a pocket tape measure, from
which the spring had become detached and
had unwound with a whirr. The dearest old
lady in the town is convalescing rapidly.

Our Old Doctor.
Therexwasn’t a better doctor, nor a kinder
man in a circuit of thirty miles, than Dr.
GunnisOn. He was sent for from far and
near, and in serious danger all the younger
physicians looked to him for counsel.
The temperance movement had just be-
gun at the time of which I speak, and its
advocates would have rejoiced to have Dr.
Gunnison on their side. But he held him—
self aloof. LHe “didn’t believe in temper-
ance pledges. A man ought to be able keep
himself within bounds if he was any sort of
a man. If not, he might as well go to the
dogs."
They were not religious people—the doc-
tor und his lovely wife,—-and if they had
any creed it was made up chiefly of “don’t
believes.” The‘had no children, and were
all in all to each other.
As timc‘passed on, people began to think
and say that it would be as well for the doc-
tor if he did believe in the temperance
pledge. Now and then they saw him go by,
swaying from side to side on his faithful old
horse,—as kind and intelligent a boost as
ever man rodc,—.or with head bowed low in
a half—drunken stupor. 'llhey watched him
anxiously as he crossed the ford, which was
somewhat difficult and dangerous in some
places. But the horse knew what he was
about if his master did not, and he really
seemed to accommodate his gait to the
swaying figure'on his back, as he stepped
carefully along.
One evening Vwe saw him approaching,
just as we sat down to supper. It was early
in April, and the river was higher than
usual,-and we saw with alarm that the doc-
tor was less fit to cross than we had ever seen
him. ‘
Fathersprnng for his hat, and ran out. and
hailed him. The horse stopped,—of his own
accord, I think,——and then father went to the
doctor and urged him to come in and stay
till morning at our house. He urged the
unusual danger in crossing,and even made so
bold as to say, “You know you’re not fit to
cross there to-night, doctor!”
He urged in vain, it appeared, for the
doctor spurred his horse. and pushed on to
the very edge of the stream. There he
paused, and at length turned about and rode
back to where father stood watching.
“I’ll go back and stay with you, if you’ve
got a temperance pledge in the house, and
will give it to me,” he said.
Father could hardly believe his ears, but
he answered quite coolly,—,
' “I have one, and I’ll give it to you with
pleasure.” ’
He led him in and seated him at a table in
the sitting room, while he came into the
kitchen where the supper table was spread,
to speak to mother to make ready a plate
for him. When he returned to the doctor
he was leaning forward on the table in a
heavy sleep. It was vain to try to waken him
so he was left there till all the family were in
bed. Then father made an effort to get him
to go to bed, and he awoke. He ‘was more
himself now. .
“Where’s that pledge you promised to give
me i" said he.
Wondering much whether he was conscious
what he did, father brought the pledge, and
pen and ink,and watched the trembling hand
sign it.
"I can write steadier after I've kept it
awhile," said the dobtor with a laugh. ,
“And you mean to keep it i" said father.
“So help me God I” said the doctor, and
went to bed leaving the document in father‘s
hands. I '
That pledge he" he t faithfully for two
seemed to grow younger and handsomer every
day of those years. Again and again that
wife wrung my father’s hand and poured out
her thanks, for his interposition to save her
husband.
“Thank God, madame, not me! And beg
of him daily to uphold and guard him," said
my father always. - She smiled confidently.
They were not praying people. If they had
been, my true story might have had a hap-
pier ending. But there were those banded
together for evil, who had pledged them-
selves to win the doctor back to their “good
fellowship” by inducing him to break his
pledge. '
In an evil hour they succeeded. Once
more he rode down to the ford in a partially
intoxicated condition. He fell from his horse
and was drowned. God alone knew whether
it was accident or suicide. Many believed the
latter. The wife went about woe—stricken,
pallid, hollow-eyed, a little while, and'then
was seen no moreon earth.

Dangers in Bringing up’Children.
The cruelty done to children by some pa-
rents; as well as by teachers, is indescribable.
Children are held to be of the same tempera-
ment, of the same adaptability to learn as
their parents and teachers; yet the boy who
cannot learn his lessons as quickly as another
is thrashed, or he is degraded in some way.
Grown people forget the intense misery to
which children are thus exposed. The child’s
horizon is so limited that he sees no remedy
to his woes, and his sorrow absorbs his whole
little being.
“Fathers, provoke not your children to
wrath, lest they be discouraged.” If the life
of a child be embittered, the result is shyness
and secret aversion. Even a child fccls itself
wronged, and a sense of bitterness is implant-
ed in .ifi heart. We can ,nevcr think
without pity of a parent who lost a promising
son by death, and was haunted through life
by his parental severity. “My boy,” he said
to a friend, “used to think me cruel, and he
had too much reason to do so; but he did not
know how I loved him at the bottom of my
heart; and now it is too late I”
We often think when we hear of parents
beating thbir children that they should
rather be inicting the punishment upon
themselves. They have been the means of
bringing into being the inheritors of their
own moral nature. The child does not make
his own temper; nor has any control while
a child over its direction. If the parents
have conferred an irritable temper on the
child, it is a duty.n their part to exercise
self-control, forbearance, and patience, so that
the influence of daily life may, in the course
of time, Correct and modify the defects of its
birth. o
But the “child’s will must be broken I’.’
There isno greater fallacy than this.» Will
forms the foundation of character. Without
strength of will there will be no strength of
purpose. What is necessary is not to break
the child’s will, but to educate it in proper
directions; and this is not to be done through
the agency of force or fear. A thousand in-
stances might be cited in proof of this state—
menr. , .
When the parent or teacher relies chiefly
upon pain for controlling the child’s will, the
child insensibly associates duty and obedi-
ence with fear and terror. And when you
have thus associated command over the will
of others with pain, you have done all that
you could to lay the foundations of abad
character—n bad son, a bad husband, a bad
father, a bad neighbor, and a bed citizen.
Parents may not think of this, when they are
beating intmtheir children their own faults ;
but it is true nevertheless. There is no doubt
that the command over the wills of others by
pain leads by degrees to all the several stages
of irritation, injustice,§cruclty, oppression.
and tyranny.
When Equordius, of Cologne, heard ,a
great cry issuing from a school house he
opened the door, _entered, and rushing up
like a lion, and raising his staff against the
teacher and his assailant, delivered the boy
from their hands. “What are you doing,
tyrant?” he said; “you are placed hereto
teach, not to kill scholars."—-—Samnel Smiles.

' ' a call for a Convcnlién‘t’e—bw'xje
in Tremont TEfifp'lé,“B03tnu, on Wednesday,
November 17. “This convention,” the call
reads, “is called for the consideration and
discussion on moral grounds, and not for the
purpose :of discuscing or acting upon the
political or legal aspects of the subject.” It is
time that this question should be handled
outside of politics. Legal suasion has pro-
duced on the whole, no permanently success-
full results. Political agitation, tending to
the formation of this minority parties, has
been the means of dividing forces ‘which
could be counted every time for moral sua-
sion, and it has usually happened that pro-
hibitory political organizations have, while
professcdly seeking to stop rumselling, con-
tributed to the election of men to office who
have been supported largely by the rum
element. We have in mind one senatnial
district in this state where at a recent elce3
tion a practical temperance man was defeated
by a candidate who probably got the vote of
every rumseller, because of the candidacy
of a prohibitionist who secured enough
votes to give the candidate elected the
benefit of the balance of power at the polls
which the practical temperance man should
have had. .
The trouble is that the extreme temperance
men are too often impracticable and defeat
the very purpose they seek ,to accomplish.
For over twenty-five years the country has
experimented with sumptunry laws‘and they
have practically failed. Intempcrance has
increased rather than diminished. The man
of appetite for liquor does uotEfeel the re-
strain: of law may excite him to a mare des—
perate effort to obtain what he is forbidden
to freely have. He is a creature unto him-
self—unto his own will—and compulsion will
do him no good so long as he himself
convinced of the evil which is upon
him. Self-reformed, under the influence of
moral suasion which reach his heartland his
convictions, he will become a man among
men ; and sweeping reformation \‘ ‘cxclusivcly
on moral grounds,” as the Massachusetts plan
proposes,will create an army of workers in !h
cause of self-equipped to tell the story of in-
tcmpcrance, where power to do good and put
down the drumshop will be ten fold greater
than all the formal enactments of a dozen
legislative bodies. The men to help the
temperance cause the most are those who
know from experience what intemperance is.
The average prohibitionist knows nothing of
the evil except as be imagines it or see it in I
the lives of others. He knows nothing of
the mental or physical causes which lead him
to drink to excess ; and when he tries to tell
men of that of which his own experience
knews nothing, he is apt to fall.
A movement like the one just started in
the Bay State is practical and will succeed
if it is followed strictly “on moral grounds ;"
for these grounds give the highest encourage-
ment to individual and united efforts, and
the cause as it progresses will have the.
strength of arcformed class whose conviction .
and conversion will rest upon a substantial.
foundation.

That was a puzzle for Annie. Again .she
