VALUE OF T1ME.-There is nothing of
which we are apt to be so lavish as Of
time, about which we ought to be more
solicitous, since without it, we can do
nothing in the world. Time is what we
want most, but alas, we use worst, and
for which God will certainly most strict
" reckon with us, when time shall be
nomore. Ii is of that moment to us in
reference to both worlds, that | can
hardly wish any man better, than that he
would seriously consider what he does
with his time how, and to what end he
employs it; and what returns he makes
TO GoD, his neighbor, and himself for it.
Will he never have ledger for this ?
for this greatest wisdom and work of
life? To come but once into the world,
and trife away our true enjoyment Of it,
is .lamentable indeed +; and since nothing
below man can so think, man in being
thoughtless, must needs sink below him
self; and that to be sure such persons
do as are uncencerned in the use OF their
most precious time.-Wm. Penn.

RELIGIOUS.

A SprRruAL MMD.-Sweet and re-
ffeshing thoughts of God enter easily
into such mind. 1t is pure spring,
whose waters come bubbling and spark
ling up Of their own accord. 1t is not
necessary to dig for them and fetch
them up with laborious effort. And as
the waters Of fountain go forth to fer
tilize the ground, so do the serious
thoughts and pious suggestions of the
spiritual mind, flow forth to enrich other
hearts.
1t is no task for such mind to think
Of God. Thoughts of Him come into it
from all His works, as the light strikes
the eye from every luminous object. 1t
beholds the divine image every where.
II has not to say "where is He Z" 1t can
say, "where is He not?" Every thing
below sends its thoughts above. 1t has
not to drag its meditations back from
the world. They flow quickly to spiri.
tual and holy themes. They revert to
them, when present need, and lawful
occupancy with the world is over, as
the divided waves return to smoothness
again after the passing keel.
We have the exhortation to this at
tainment from the eminently spiritual
mind OF archbishop Leighton: (" Consi-
der yourselves, my brethren, and trace
yourselves into your own hearts, wheth-
er often in day your thoughts run this
way, finding the meditation Of God
sweet to you. You might entertain di-
vine and heavenly thoughts, even while
about your earthly employments and re-
freshments. Make it your business to
learn more of this wisdom; call in your
hearts; commune often with yourselves
and with God be less abroad and more
within, and more above; this is by far
the sweetest life. Beg of God to wind
up your hearts, when you find them
heavy and dull, and need much pulling
and hauling from your hand. A touch
from his hand will make them mount up
easily and nimbly."-Boston Recorder.
