BY THE LATE DR. LAURIE, MciNKTON, AYRSHIRE
Hu, ye mind o' lang;lang sync, when the simmer
days were due,
An' the sun shone brighter far than he's ever
dune since spiel;
Do ye mind the hag brig turn, whaur wo puddled
in the burn,
An were late for the schule in the mornin'?
Do you mind the sunny braes, whaur we gathered
hips and slaes,
And fII arming bramble busSes, tearin' a' our
elites;
And for fear they would be seen we gaed slippin'
hame at e'en,
But were liekit for our pains in the mornin'?
Do you mind the miller's dam, when the frosty
winter cam',
How we slade upon the curlers' riuk,.aud ma.de
their ganie a sham ;
When they chased us thro' the snaw we took leg -
hail an'
. But we did it o'er again in the mornin'?
What -famous fun Was Ahere, wi' our gatne at
tenni' an' In
irwiwn we played he truant free the sehule, be-
cause it was the fair ;
And we ran trail 1 atie's mill through the woods
. on Whiny li 11,
And were fetal for the tawse in the mornin'.
Where ere those bright hearts nee that were then
so leal an' true?
Oh! slune late left life's troubled scene, some still
are struggling thro'.
And some hue risen high in life's changeful
(testi riy,
For they rose wi' the lark in the mornin'.
CONCERNING, BOY PREACHERS.
Mr. Beecher Frees,Ilis Blind Again on a
Subject that Ile Often Recurs to.
"As to children," said Me. Beecher in
his last (Friday) evening's talk in Brooklyn
tabernacle, "I believe that children may
just as easily blossom into the kingdom -as
blossom into the world; a great many of
them do, I think. When a child inherits a
well-regulatedewell-bada,need temperament
-that ie, with inherited righteousuces--
from a long line of Christian ancestry or
from father and mother merely, the problem
is very much simplified, and wneu they come
into the kingdom it is proper that they
should be active, according to. the pro-
prieties of child life ; but I think, it
is very dangerous to make little preachers
out of childien, or to send them round giv-
ing, advice to grown-up foles. Within a
certain sphere, childreu will meet with less
opposition than men, but not when you
make preachers of them. There is a kind
of usiug of children that grieves me -
sending them round begging or selling
tickets, even if it is for a Christian pur-
pose ; and I dislike having children give
k testimony,' which, for the most part,
they have learned by note, but a geuuine
expression of childlike feeling is very
natural and much to be desired.. A boy
.that don't do anything he don't want to do,
and is not as amiable to his eister and the
cat as he was before he was -converted,
that don't do anything but talk in meeting
-the Lord deliver me from Stith boys.
'Well,' you ask me, 'is there no good in
prayer?' I think You pray entirely too
much anyhow, considering what sort of
stuff it is; now and. then it is natural to
-persons, but most of it is got by the pump-
ing process.- Shouldn't- you pray? Yes;
but is not a thought a prayer? • Was not
the prayers of the men who said 'God be
merciful to me, a sinner ; ' just as good as
if it was a yard long. But it is a great deal
according to temperament- after all. A
man with a hard, intellectual, philosophical
mind,will sometimes.' chew 011 a doctrine
and get some meat out of it. I wonder -
how he does it, but he does. • And a warm,
impulsive, !sympathetic _nature Wants
