"Our city is infested with those places Of

that have their stool pigeons on the look out
for gudgeons, who are enticed in the sink,
where the fats are gammoned by the knowing
ones. But, "St. Giles Greek" aside, and to
speak in plain English-there are men Of pro-
perry, fathers and even grahdfathers, who dis.
grace themselves and their families, by the
most shameful imposition on respectable and

ieaving All the cares, and perplexities, and sor-
rows Of thin world, and especially Of leasing
these corrupt bodies Of Elm, and all that makes
us uncomfortable, and unhappy, and unholy,
To think that instead Of having our ears grated
BY prOfane swearing, and filthy communications,
we shall hear the sweet harps Of angels, and the
grateful songs Of all the redeemed. That for
our company, instead Of noisy, hardened sinners,
we shall have cherubirn and seraphim, and the
spirits Of all the just made perfect. That in
stead Of hearing Of toll, and sorrow, and disap-
appoiutments--our weary souls shall rest--we
shall have access to the Tree oflfe, and be filled
with all the fiillness Of God That instead Of
having panied heads and bodies exposed 70
wasting disease, we shall no longer cay, ~ am
sick, for ''there shall be no more pain there
but we shall rest upon the bosom Of Him, 'iwho
from everlasting' was the sinners friend, and
behold his glory with ''pure immortal eyea''---
That we shall there have all our doubts remov-
ed, and all our infrmities made whole. That
from Heaven every ransoned sinner viii look
backward upon the path through which God
has led him in this world--and joyfuliy exrlaim
Thy dealings, oh my God, were right,
Thy wisdom chose the tborhy road,
AS better fitted in thy sight,
To lead my wayward soul TO God.
How sweet too, il is 70 reflect that in Heaven
the character of God, and his government. and
all his perfectons, will appear perfectly lovely,
and thstit will be amongst the aweetsst OF our
Joys to know that we are to remain under the
government, snd at the disposal Of this God 10
al eternity, to be with him where Ne is, 70 be
filled with his falIncss. and to behhld his glory.
Yes, fellow christians, by whatever name we
may be designated on earth, we but bear the
Impress OF that heavenly sesl--our garments
shsa eventually be burihed BY atoniug mercy.
