Means of Rowling Religion.

One of the good effects resulting from intei.
gence recently circulated of the revival of God
work in various places, has been a socitude
among Christians in towns not yet visited with
the blessing, that something may be done to secure
it, and the inquiry what that something shall be
This feeling and inquiry are certainly appropriate
and we have heard various suggestions offered in
reply. But among them all, it is long time
since we have heard family instruction and disci-
1pline mentioned, as important means of revying
religion. This is the more remarkable, as it is a
means which God instituted, commanded, and
promised to bless in manner the most assured
and uneqnivocal. He assigned it as reason why
he selected Abraham TO make covenant with
him, and constitute him not only the father many
nations but the tatAer ofMe faH4jM; 81 know
him, that he will command his children, and his
household after him." This being done, Jehovah
adds, and they shall keep tie acay ot'hhe Lord If
we wish religion to revive, it seems clear case
where we should begin; if we would keep it from
dcclension, where we must continue to oper-
ate.

itself to every mans concence we could fortify it

successful revival preachers that this or any other

PlErY.-As to your piety, it must be manifest
y real and genuine. The fire that burns on the
altar of your heart must be of no questionable or
igin; but by its ervency and constancy, attest its
heavenly descent. Without piety, a man would
stand excluded from the ministry by moral un-
fitness. His acceptance of it, in such case
would be an impious intrusion, which no human
authority could adequately sanction or make valid

benefit than otherwise. He will emphatically

NV Mothers Crave

remember wildly the circumstances of her de-
parture. Consumption had already done Its pow
erful work. Unlike many who are smitten by this
disease, she preferred to die in the bosom Of her
family. Why should the stag, pierced to the
heart in his own thicket, seek a refuge in the
deeper glades to bleed to death? 1t is a wrong
idea this, of searching in land of strangers for
health which is clean gone forever How ma
ny are thus yearly cut down in the midst OF their
wanderngs In some desolac chamber, they lie
in the agonies of death. No soft hand presses
their brow; no familiar voice whispers i'll their
ear; no cherished friend performs their funeral
obsequies. Death is indeed bitter, under such
circumstances being without its usual alterations.
1t is a sweet consolation to die at home.
On some fond breast the parting soul relies"
Some pious drops the closing eyes require;
Even from the tomb the voice of nature cries,
Even in their ashes live their wonted fires"
There is something dreadful yet beautiful in
consumption. 1t comes stealing on so softly and
so silently. 1t comes, too in the garb OF mockery
and deception, and clothes its victims in the beau
tiful garments for the grave. The hectic flush,
the snowy brow, the brilliant eye; who could be-
lieve that these were deaths precursors, the sig
net of the conqueror! 1t invests the patient with
a pretematural patience and sweetness under suf-
lerh9S, keeping awe, ~ the Saii'c tiil'e' III hel
breast the illusion of hope Even in the moments
of keenest suderings, she looks forward to days
of returning happiness; and while the worm is
forever proving at the CORE and her slender form
becomes each day more feeble and attenuae, she
has before her gilded prospect, and the mind
and spirits are boyant with the thought. But
when the final struggle has at last commenced,
how sublime the spectacle! To behold the i'm
mortal mind so calm, so tranquil, and so triumph
ant; waxing brighter, while the tenement which
contains it is but a poor and aeshless skeleton; to
behold the eye beaming with undiminished lustre
toward the obects of its affection, until the soul at
last bursts the charnel vault which has too long con-
fined it, takes one triumphant bound. Then is
the body still and silent. The feather is unrufled
by the breath, and the glass retains its polish; for
dust has returned to dust again, and the spirit un-
to God who gave it-Knicherbocher.
