O that my friends, and sister dear, Lord, send thy Word to their dark hearts, Whose God is like the Christian's God? He hath compassion on my soul, And hears a beggar's prayer. Lord Jesus, thou hast shed thy blood For thousands such as me; Though some despise poor beggar girls, ELIZABETH Low. We (Ragged School Union Magazine) have copied the above verses from the original manuscript, sent by the girl to her teacher. On the corner of the paper she says, "Let me know how my hymn will do; most of it is out of my own head." A friend connected with the Dundee Industrial School, has supplied us with the following information respecting the history and present position of the poor girl. He has also sent us a few more verses from the young writer, which our readers may see in a future number:-" The parents of the girl have given evidence of great depravity. Her father deserted his family, and is believed to have gone to America; and her mother had been in prison once, and escaped being there a second time by leaving the town. The girl, as might be expected, was of very idle habits, leaving work when she had it, and going off to the country for days together, along with some other girls, and supporting themselves by begging, &c. Being a native of Dundee, she had a claim on the parish, and was sent to this institution by the parochial board on December 18, 1847; she soon gave evidence that, although her opportunities for education had been very limited, her natural abilities were of rather a high order. She continued in the institution, and was of very great service to the female teacher as an assistant, till the spring of 1849, when, on application to Her Majesty's Commissioners of Emigration, by the Right Hon. Lord Kinnaird, she, along with four other girls, was to have gone out to Australia; but, as the time of departure drew near, it was found that she would be unable to go, on account of a cutaneous affection in one of her limbs, with which she was seized after the application was made for her emigration. To make up somewhat for the disappointment, the Right Hon. Lady Kinnaird placed her in the family of her butler, whose wife keeps the village school of Inchture, adjoining his Lordship's seat, where she continues, and is giving increasing satisfaction."

THE BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATION OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE HUMAN FAMILY, WILLIAM PENN'S TREATY WITH THE INDIANS, May perhaps be considered the most striking example which the page of history furnishes of mutual faith and good-will. It is thought that many would wish to possess this interesting memorial, representing the red Indian and the man of Peace-the one having cast away all warlike instruments, and relying on the power of a peaceful and loving spirit-and the ether, although retaining his hatchet and tomahawk, meeting in reciprocal faith. We cannot quote a more cloquent description of this remarkable Treaty, nor of the Picture which the talents of a WEST has so beautifully depicted, than the following extract from the address of the Pennsylvanian Peace Society to the Peace Congress of 1850, at Frankfort:: "We feel that Pennsylvania has a right to be heard in your halls, for she was founded in deeds of peace,' and rests upon a corner-stone laid in justice and brotherly love. The goodly tree, whose boughs shelter her sons, has grown from a seed watered by not one drop of blood. home. Other colonists had been there before him, but they brought strife and violence with them, and their dominion In 1682, William Penn first landed with his followers on the fertile soil of his new could not endure. The simple children of the forest had seen the white men turning their thunder, one upon the other, until their settlements dwindled away. But with William Penn there came humble and peaceful men, to whom sword and spear were unknown. They had no weapons but Christian truth and love. They raised no battlements, for the protecting grace of their Heavenly Father was their sufficient shield and their sure defence. They spread no gaudy flag to the breeze, for they had an Almighty champion, and his banner over them was love. They rent the air with no roar of cannonry, for they knew that the still small voice of a Holy Spirit went further, and penetrated more deeply, than the booming gun. They met the savage warrior on his own ground, unarmed, and as far as human means went, without defence. Royal parchments gave them the right to take possession of the soil, and expel its inhabitants, but they recognized a higher law than royal parchments, and a ruler above British majesty. They had bought the land from the crown, but they would buy it again from its wild inhabitants. Beneath the spreading elms at Shackamaxon, by the banks of the placid Delaware, slow winding through dense forests, they met the red chieftains face to face, and offered them what they would for the privilege of dwelling in the land. It was then that 'Maquon,' as his savage brethren loved to call William Penn, pronounced these memorable words:- We meet on the broad pathway of good faith and good-will. No advantage shall be taken on either side, but all shall be openness and love. I will not call you children, for parents sometimes chide their children too severely; nor brothers only, for brothers differ. The friendship between me and you I will not compare to a chain, for We are the same as if one man's body were to be divided into two that the rains may rust, or the falling tree may break. parts; we are all one flesh and blood!' "Under the broad canopy of heaven was this treaty made, but it was held more sacred than any ever concluded under palace roof. The high contracting parties' were no subtle diplomatists, but a quiet and simple-minded Quaker on the one side, and a savage Chieftain on the other, yet both earnest and sincere in their intentions, and stedfast in their faith. It had no witnesses but the sky, the forest, and the flowing river, the all-seeing eye of the Good Spirit, and the silent monitor in the heart of each one present. It was attested by no royal or noble signet, but only by the seal of Christian love, and yet never was treaty better kept in It was recorded on no parchment, but on the hearts alike of the white man and the red. letter and in spirit to the end. Years after, when other counsels ruled the Quaker Commonwealth, and strife came in, the Indian never ceased to respect the followers of William Penn; and when cruel-minded men made the gentle Conestoga run red with the blood of the Christian Indians, they fled to Philadelphia-to the city of brotherly love-to seek shelter and protection among the men of Peace. "We say not thes things boastingly, brethren, for we know that we must take shame to ourselves for a wide departure, as a commonwealth, from the blessed spirit of the founder. dark and bloody history of the past, and because we can draw from them courage for the present effort, and a glowing We mention them, because they constitute a green spot in the hope for the future. They show what is the power of a peaceful and loving spirit. They prove, by an unalterable fact, that the love of humanity in Christ can disarm the savage, and bury the hatchet of the wild warrior of the woods. They put to shame the miserable sophistry of those who contend that war is a necessity of civilized nations, and that a Christian people is too brutal to feel the force of the law of love which tamed the stern race that arms could never conquer, but only exterminate."
