GRIEyE NOT THE SPIRIT.

Amelia, young lady of my aoquaint-
ance, once left the parental roof at an
early age, and soon after she entertained a
hope in Christ, she went to finish her edu.
cation at boarding school. On her ar
rival at her new place of residence, you
will readily conceive she found new and
peculiar trials in the new companions and
duties with which she became necessarily
connected. 1t produced momentary
struggle of mingled and various emotions
With her religion, religious duties, and re-
lieious character on one hand, and the
world with its various and countcracting
influences on the other, she was brought
to stand-but she did not allow herself
to hesitate. On the first morning after
her arrival, she with great civility, but
firm determination, proposed to her room
mates to allow her the undiSturbed occu-
pancy of the chamcr at certain hour in
the morning. 1t was granted. The
struggle was over. She was a praying
young lady. Here she was strengthened,
and prepared to exert most happy influ-
ence, as we'll as to feel the blessing of
communion with God. What an intlu.
ence was e1erted by the decision of that
hour! At the early age of twenty-five, |
saw this young lady breathe out her soul
in a most happy and triumphant death,
after short life ofgrcat purity and devo-
ton.
Now look at the contrast OF this picture
in the story of Florida, related to me as
fact by another. 1t concerns young
lady whose mind was awakened during
religious revival at a boarding school:
she become serious, deeply serious: she
even, believe, entertained hope: soon
she returned 70 her home again. There
was an assemblage Other former compa-
Mons for gay amusement. for ball she
was invited, declined, was urged, impor-
tuned. Conscience spoke, and she per-
sisted in her refusal. At length her
father, yes, her own father, advised her TO
90, and to continue her intercourse with
her former companions. She declined.
He urged it-no, she could not 60. He

They stand aloot from their children, occu-
pied by business and cares, or else having
no sympathy with their peculiar feelings

the father, therefore, does not keep so

communicated to the one the healthy, vir-

TIE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT.

AiiiI ShliS l!t-N Si iNA''
1t was the noble determination OF St.
Paul to spend and be spent for Christ.
This was not the passionate resolve of one.
wrought up to a high degree of excite
ment, but his ordinary temper and dispo-
sition-thc natural and spontaneous pro-
ductous of grace in his heart. Such is the
disposition of every one who feels that his
heart has been dilated by the Spirit Of God.
and holy impusle given to his actions.
The spirit of Christianity is utterly TO op-
pose that narrowncss of soul which i'm
murcs itself within itself, and measures
the claims of others by the personal incon-
venicncc or benefit which will accrue 10
the individual whose aid is invoked.
This is not the spirit of Chist; it has Il
scliishnesS and sordidness about it. which
can find no congcnial element in the VIC
tim Of the cross, nor in that benovolencc
which imprcgnatcs the very air We breathe,
and prepares our daily comforts and enjoy
mCnts.
He who has felt the love Of God shed
abroad in his heart, feels that there are
cords many fold and strong binding him to
his Rcdccmer, and motives irresistible
urging him TO live for Christ. His cause
is the chrstiau's cause. His soul feels the
thrill of delight as it triumphs, and mourns
when the adversary prevailes. For this
he plans and labours and pleads, bestows
his treasure and offers up his prayers.
The field of his vision is the kingdom Of
Christ-his enquiries and efforts are
circumscribcd by no other limits than the
wants of man, aad the promise of useful
ness. Has nc by assuming the vows Of the
sacramcnts entered fully within the pale
of the church?-It was not to enjoy in.
glorious sloth but that he might be Il la
borcr in the Lords vineyard. Has he
consecrated all that he has to his Saviour!
1t was not that they should be wasted in
self-indulgence or boarded up to rust in
uselessncss, but that they might be employ
cd in promoting the glory of God and the
good of men. He and they are ",o spend
and be spent for Christ" This determina-
ton will lead him 10 advance every
scheme by which God may be honoured
to watch with solicitude the openings of
Providence, and eagerly 10 embrace every
opportunity Of doing something in the great
cause.

This remark is often made by parents

days since. Ispent the night in the family

hoped he had for many years been disci-
/ pic Of Christ; she has long been connected
with the church. The subject managing
children soon and very naturally came up.
Little Henry, a bright, active boy, about
three years old, was urging his claims for a
dish of milk. The mother was engaged;
! but he could not be put of:-became fret
! fill and unmanagcablc-and made the whole
house echo with his demands. When the
milk was brought, instead Of satisfying him,
he grew worse and worse. The difficulty
was he had not been permitted to help him
self. So the dish must be emptied.. After
cndeavoring to make him believe he could
not be gratificd, his tune was raised to a
pitch higher. This secured what he wish
ed. The pan was brought and he was per-
mttcd to do as he pleased. Directly we
were seated at the tca-tabie. Henry fixed
| his eyes upon a rare dish Of preserves, and
wished to be helped immediately. Rather
than have any difficulty he was gratfied; but
this did not suit. He wanted the dish to
help himself, and after being told by his con-
scientous, pious mother, that he could not
have it, "thc fat was all in the fire." Kick

What l have related is only a specimen.
Things went on in this way while the boy
was awake, which was till late in the even

so blind to the interests Of the child, TO their

Further Extracts from Mr.. Abbot's "Way to do

Many persons are oCen surprised to see ,;
how easily some ofthcir acquaintanccs will

nh ascendcncy over them. But this Is the
secret of it. They came down. do not
mean in the actions and demeanor, but IN
the nature of the iavours they show TO them
TO their level. They excite or employ
their mental powers, they speak kind
word indicating interest in their plays or
pursuits: they aid them i'll their own little
schemes, or at lc;,s; regard them with hooks
and words ofkindnrSs. These are indica.
tons of feeling Of kindness which the
child can understand; and us we have be-

with which the feeling Of kindness is per
ccivcd in one hear, that gratitude and at
