eave this happy fireside, and just accom¬
pany Thomas and Nancy to their desolate abode. As
they approached the house, the faint cries of the ne¬
glected baby first met the parents' ears. Poor Mary
was endeavouring, as usual, to quiet the little sufferer.
There was no fire upon the hearth, no light upon the
table, but the moonbeams through the chonging clouds,
were sufficient to reveal the gloom and wretchedness
of the drunkard's home. Thomas and Nancy could
not but perceive the contrast, between the home they
had just left, and their own. It was a contrast most
sad and humiliating.
Early the next morning, the first person the family
saw coming down the lane vvas little William Stevens.
He had in his hand a basket of potatoes which his
father had sent Thomas Milman, with a request that
he would call at his workshop after he had eaten his
breakfast. This unexpected present gave much joy
to this destitute family; and Mary, witb her little
brothers, will not soon forget how accep'able were

From Chambers1 Journal.
THE CRANBERRY MEADOW.
A SIMPLE STORY.
It was a clear morning in April ; the ground, bushes,
^end fences, sparkled with their frosty covering. The
bare hills and leafless trees looked as if they could not
long remain bare and leafless, beneath a sky so bright.
A robin here and there ventured a short, sweet note,
and carlh and sky seemed to rejoice in the scene.—
The path that led to the village school was trod by
!happy children,  whose  glowing cheeks and   merry
• voices testified that they partook of the general glad¬
ness.
In the same path, at a distance from a group of
neatly dressed and smiling children, vvas a little girl,
whose pale, soiled face, tattered dress, and bare feet,
bespoke her the child of poverty and vice. She look¬
ed upon the laughing band before her with a wistful
• countenance, and hiding behind her shawl the small
i tin pail she carried, lingered by the fence till the chil-
' dren were out of sight, and then, turning into another
[road, proceeded to perforin her usual errand at the
lyellow shop. The bright calm morning had no charm
nor her. Her little heart felt none of the lightness and
■gaiety that the hearts of children feel when nature is
Beautiful around them. She could not laugh as they
■lughed ; and as the sound of their merry voices seem-
Hd still to linger on her ear, she wondered that she
.fcould not be as happy as they.    And then she thought
of the dreariness and   poverty of her  home, of the
Pbruelty of her father, of the neglect and unkindness
situated, Thomas knew he must takeadifferent course,
or himself and family would be sent lothe workhouse.
It was on account of these circumstances that he this
evening consented with his wife to attend the meet¬
ing.
When the speaker commenced, Thomas, feeling
himself uneasy, wished himself away. But by degrees
he became more and more interested, until his eye
fixed upon the speaker, and the tear that rolled down
of her mother, the misery ofthe long cold winter his bloated face proved the depth of his feeling. He

the neat appearance of the children she had just seen, | light seemed to break upon his mind, and he inwardly
from door to door; but at every place her timid inqui¬
ry, "Do you want any cranberries here?" met the
same chilling answer—"No."
At length wearied out, and fearful thit .die could
not dispose of them at all, she sat down by the road¬
side and wept bitterly. But the sun had long passed
its meridian, and was gradually lowering in lhe west¬
ern sky. She must go home; and what would her
father say if she returned with the cranberries unsold !
This she could not do; and she determined to try to
exchange them at the shop, for the spirit her father
wanted.
After waiting some time at the counter till the wants
of this and that wretcheJ victim were supplied, she
told her errand, and after much hesitation on the part
of the shopkeeper, and much entreaty on her own, the
cranberries were exchanged for rum. Mary then
rapidly retraced her steps homeward, and with a beat¬
ing heart entered the cottage. Her father was not
present, but her mother was there, and, on inquiring
where she had been, insisted on Mary giving her the
spirit. Mary refused as long as she dared, for she
knew how terrible would be ihe anger of her father,
should he find the quantity diminished on his return.
But the mother regardless of every thing except the
gratification of her own appetite, seized the "ssel from
It was scarcely swallowed Before her husband en¬
tered ; and, enraged at seeing the spirit so much les¬
sened, he reproached first Mary, and then his wife, in
the most bitter terms. The provoking replies of the
latter excited his rage almost beyond control; nnd
Mary, fearing for the safety of herself and brothers,
crept with them into an empty closet, where, with
their arms around each other, they remained almost
breathless with alarm, trembling at their father's loud
threats, and the fearful screams of their mother.
At length the discord was hushed, and nil vvassilent,
except the low groans of the suffering wife, and the
cries of the helpless babe. The childcn then crept
from iheir hiding place, to seek for some food bef >re
they laid themselves ('own upon their wretched bed,
to forget their fears for a while in sleep. But in vain
did they look for a crust of bread or a cold potato.
Mary could find nothing but the remainder of the meal
she had procured in the morning, but it was too lute
to attempt baking another cake. The fire vvas all out
upon the hearth, and it vvas too dark to go in search
of wood. So the hungry children, with their .wants
unsupplied, were obliged to lay themselves down to
sleep.
In the village in which Mary's parents lived, the
wretched condition of the family had often attracted
attention ; but the case ofthe parents seemed so hope¬
less, little exertion vvas made to persuade them to
abandon their ruinous habits, till Mr. Hall, an ener¬
getic agent of the cause of abstinence from intoxicat¬
ing fluids, visited the place. The husbRnd and wife
were then induced to attend the temperanco meeting,
and listen to his address. Whispers and significant
looks passed between the acquaintances, when Thomas
and his wife entered the church, and scarcely one
among the number thought they could be at all bene¬
fited by what they might hear. But they did not see
Thomas' heart, or know what a wretched being he _ .
felt himself to be. Through necessity neither he nor! we™- But wht-re ls thc lltt,e, £ir! wlUl s,lled faco<

their character could not obtain employment.    Thus
seeking their own gratification without regard to the
hts of others ! Human laws are confessedly inade¬
quate. Imperfect at best, they only prescribe rules
for the outward conduct; they do not pretend to reach
the heart; and secret passions may be indulged, and
secret vices practised without incurring their penalty.
At Sparta, it was no crime to steal, unless the thief
was discovered ; if the thief could effect his object so
adroitly as to escape detection, he was considered de¬
serving of praise rather than of blame. The morality
of men without the Bible, varies with their circum¬
stances, and whatever may be said of conscience, or
the moral sense as a rule of conduct, it is only when
enlightened by Divine truth that it becomes a 6afe
guide in the path of duty. It is in the Bible, and in
the Bible only, that we find a correct standard of
morals, and an adequate sanction for their observance.
If this be true, the Bible is the only sure foundation
of real civilization, which cannot exist without mo¬
rality. It is true, we hear of refinement carried to
excess when vice has become fashionable, and morals
depraved, but this is the abuse of refinement, the de¬
generacy of civilization, which, if it be not checked
by the influence of virtuous principle, must inevitably
lead to the destruction of civil society. That beautiful
fabric rests upon the Bible as its corner stone. The
true conservative principle is virtue; the virtue of the
Bible, founded on the fear of God and the love of man:
and every one who has at heart the welfare of his
country, and the happiness of his fellow men, should
contribute his aid in diffusing as widely as possible,
the knowledge of the Bible.
This, too, is the only security of eivil liberty. No¬
where else can man learn the duties he owes to God,
and to his fellow men;—nowhere else does he learn
the natural equality of men, that all men are breth¬
ren ;—nowhere else are to be found the same motives
to justice, to honesty, to kindness, to the exercise of
all the best feelings of our nature;—and nowhere
else does man learn the importance of his character,
and the elevation of his rank in the scale of existence,
ic_S that the humblest individual may regard himself
with the proudest of his species';1 amr,x-o_ifc>R£k_9 _«_
own dignity, may rise above the abject servility of a
slave, and claim and exercise the rights of a man.
Accordingly we find, that it is only in nations en-
Nancy. Having less to employ I er mind t'isn her
husband, she vvas sorely tempted, more than once, lo
send Mary to the yellow shop to exchange whal re¬
mained of her kind neighb. ur'sgift for rum. But the
thought of Hannah's kindness, and her own promise,
so solemnly made, restrained her.
At last the day wore by, and it was time for Thomas
to return. As soon as the children saw him enter the
lane, they ran, as was their cm-tom, to their hiding-
place, for knowing nothing of what had recently tran¬
spired, they expected to find him intoxicated as usual.
"Can that be father!" whispered they to each other,
as they heard a steady step and calm voice. The young¬
est boy peeped out his head to see.
"Come here, my pror boy," said Thomas kindly;
" you needn't be afraid ; lam not drunk." "Oh, he
isn't drunk; he isn't drunk!" said Jemmy, clapping
his hands in great joy ; "he isn't drunk; come out;
father wont hurt us." Half* faithless, half believing,
the other children left their hiding-place, and came
around their father.
" Mother hasn't sent you for nny rum to-day, has
she, Mary .'" " No, father; I hope I shall never go to
that shop again." " You never shall, to buy rum, Mary.
I promise you. Do you b lieve me !" Mary looked
as though she did not quite believe, but she said noth¬
ing.
A year has passed by since the period when our
history commenced. It is as fine a morning in April
as it then vvas. The children of the village are pur¬
suing their way to school as pleasantly as they then
all others, if they have any government at all, deserv¬
ing the name, are fettered by some form of despotism,
which regards the mass of the people as an inferior
race, born to minister to the gratification of their
superiors. It is, therefore, the duty of the patriot to
promote the circulation ofthe Bible among bis fellow
citizens, that they may be made acquainted with their
rights, and so be prepared to cherish and maintain
them.
But above and beyond all these considerations, the
religion of the Bible is the only true religion. It
points out thc only way of salvation—" For there is
none other name under heaven given among men
whereby they must be saved," but the name of that
Saviour whom the Bible reveals. Without it, man is
a guilty, miserable being, groping his way through
life, conscious of sin, and apprehensive of punishment,
but surrounded by darkness which his eye cannot
penetrate, and at last sinking into the grave with no
knowledge, and scarcely a hope of future existence.
But when the light of revelation is shed upon his path,
every thing is changed:—reconciled to God through
the atonement of his Saviour, he may regard his
Creator as his father and his friend; and looking be¬
yond the grave, he may indulge the hope of becoming
an heir of life and immortality through faith in Jesus
Christ. We need not say, then, that it is the duty of
every Christian to aid in the circulation of the Gos¬
pel.
Impressed with these sentiments, the members of •
the Pennsylvania Young Men's Bible Society have as¬
sociated themselves together for the purpose of cir¬
culating the Holy Scriptures among their fellow
citizens, in the first place, and afterwards, as far as
their means will allow, throughout the world.    They
dirty tattered garments are exchanged for neat and j unite in tius enterprise without any distinction of «ect
comely ones; her hare feet are covered with tidy shoes and standing upon ground common to all Christian*'
and stockings, and in her hand she carries not a tin j oryer tne simple word of God, without note or com'
pail, but a basket containing her school-books and ; ment? to a]\ wno wfl] receive it. They consider it a
work. The scenes through which this day will carry j prrrQege to be engaged in this work; and in present
her will be very different from those through which | in„ thejr Constitution to the Young Men of Penn"
she passed a year ago. A great and blessed change
