figure of the resurrection of our Saviour,
is deineated by Scotch Preacher.
"Twice " had the sun gone down upon the
earth, and all as yet was silent at the Sc
pulchre Death held his sceptre over the
Son of God still and silent the hours pass
on; the guards stood at their posts the
rays Of the midnight moon cleaned on their
helmets, and on their spears: the enemies
of Christ exulted in their success the
hearts Of his friends were sunk in des-
pOndency and sorrow the spirit of glory
waited in anxious suspense to behold the
event, and wondered at the depth of the
ways OF God.-At length the morning star
arising in the east, announced the ap-
prOach of light the third day began to
dawn upon the world; when on a sudden
the earth tremb ed to its centre, and the
powers of heaven were shaken; an Angel
of God descended, the guards shrunk back
from the terror Of his presence, and fell
prostrate on the ground his countenance
was like lightning, and his raiment as
white as snow: he rolled away the stone
from the door of the sepulchre, and sat
upon it. But who is this that cometh
forth from the tOmb--with dyed garments
from the bed Of death :" lie that is go-
rous in his appearance. walking in the
greatness of his strength Itis the Prince,
o Zion,-Christians it is your Lord lie
hath trodden the wine press alone; He
hath stained his raimept with blood. but
now, as the first born from the womb of
mature, he meets the morning of his resur-
rectlon he arises cOnquerOr from the
grave he returns with blessings from the
world of spirits; he brings salvation to
the sons of men. Never did the returning
sun usher in day so glorious it was the
Jubilee OF the universe: "the morning stars
sung together. and all the sons of God
shouted aloud for JOY" The Father of
Mercies looked down from his throne in
the heavens with compacency he behed
his world restored he saw his work that
lit was good. Then did the desert rejoice;
the face OF nature was gladdened before
him, when the blessings OF the Eternal
descended as the dew OF heaven for the
refreshing of the nations.'
ChiLlrens Food.-A lady of Yorkshire
observes, in letter dated May I'd, that
lin consequence Of losing her first three
children, one during teething, and two of
inflammation In the bowels, she gave her
fourth child little lime water in every
article of food, adding desert. and some
times only tea spoonful of lime water to
every article whether liquid or thick. 1t
succeeded in keeping up healthy digestion,
land regular state of the bowels: the child,
instead of being feverish, tiatulent, and
iretful as all her preceding children had
been, continued cool and cheerful, free
from any symptom of indigestion, and cut
tits teeth without any constitutional dis
turbance. She has continued this practice
with two more children with the same
good effect. We have known this simple
addition to the food of children prove very
etlicaciOus in incipient cases of rickets,
and of irritable bowels attended with
luoseness, &c. but if the child be dispo-
sed to cOstiveness on account of its astrin-
gent quality, little magnesia should be
occasionally added to it.

1862, containing an easy remedy for the
cramp-" Near five years ago, being from
home, and obliged to lie upon a very hard
bed for two nights. though l could not
sleep the first light through the uneasness
of my lodging, yet had no cramp. The
second night slept well, but no cramp.
