; AT The expiration Of n few weeks, ST.
mon was able 10 walk out with crulch
alone. His health was good and his
spirits cheerful. They hnd nothing now

had taught them both to put their irus,
in God, and 10 refer all blessings to Him
as well as they had done all Affections
III Mr. Vandyne, the gentleman who Ow-
ned the estate, often visited them, and a.
he became acquainted with their worth,
felt happy that he had secured such ex-
ce llent persons on his estate. At length,
three months after his removal to his new
r abode, Simon was able TO enter on his
duties as gardener and applying him
self with II willing mind, he soon made
} himself useful Thus they continued to
live for several years, in their life and
conversation exem2lilying the force OF
piety upon the heart and conduct, even
ofihe humble in degree. Thus too they
rewarded the bencv vOlent act of their ben.
elactor, MIR Hadaway, in placing them
there, and by their usefulness repaid
his kindness in letting them remain at
\ first so long without being Of service to
/ aim.
/ IL the interim, good MIR Hadaway
visited them, the first year once month !;
the second year once in three months !;
! the third year twice; and the fourth year
| they saw him but once. AT length he
censed his visits altogether, as his busi-
ness increased, and only saw Simon,
when, Al long intervals, he went TO the
|, city on some errand for garden seeds,
and called upon him 10 tell him how they
got along By and by Mr. Hadaway
left New York for Russia, to be absen,
for several years, much to Simon and
/ Snrah's grief, who did not feel happy
without knowing he was near, and had
knowledge OF Their happiness, which he
| had been instrumental in bestowing on
! them.
/ Years produce great changes among
all classes of men. Mr. lladaway had
been absent but n few months, when Mr.
/ Vandyne died, and the estate passed in
to the hands of distant heir in the i'm
pressIve phraseology Of Scripture, "a
king arose who knew not Joseph The
The new proprietor did not like to retain
Il gardener who could work with but one
arm, aud was lame ut that: and being be-
sides "A modern improver, he wanted to
make every thing different from what il,
| had been.
\ Simon was therefore notified to leave
his situation, but out of respect to his for
mer employer, If it may be so dcnomi-
mated, he was allowed TO erect small
cottage upon tIact Of wild land in q
\ glen on the further side of the estate,
and enclose as much ground as he could
cultivate for his own use.
I ii was with a heavy heart that they re-
signed the home which had been so long
their happy abode--a home which they
felt, under the insirumcntaiiy Of Mr.
Hadawsy, had been the peculiar gift Of
Divine Providence. They, however,
reculected how their trus, in Him, IN
their deepcs, wretche dness, had been
responded to, and they now trusted To
lin for the future. Delightful trust -
Sweet s"rcnIty that no adverse circum-
stances OF time can move How besi
how enviable are those whose trust, 10 all
times and a, all seasons, is slaid on God
/ Simon went 10 view the land appropri-
ated to him, and returned TO Sarah with
n cheerful account that all would be
well.
/ We have every reason to be thankful,
he said to her 'oUr situation is by no
means n sad one What deep poverty,
and but for your confidence in God,
which supported me, what despair We
were IN eight years ago, yet we were
delivered God found smooth and
pleasant way for us to walk in. Cannot
we trust him now was then sick and
cripple | am now well and in health,
and though ! have but one good arm,
and limp little, l am strong and robust
and can make living. Then we had
no furniture but that blanket, which ]
have now hung up by the bedside to re-
mind me that you gave your wedding
ring to retain it for me. Now we have
house full of good furniture, which
kind Mr.. Vandyne presented us with,
and here is little Fanny to assist you, the
dear one host in herself, with her
bright iace and happy laugh No, no
we won'trepine i! Itwould be wickod ,o
do so, even AT leaving such home. -
Let Us bless God that he gives us health
and spirits, and all a hope that when we
} leave forever the earthly house Of thi.
tabernacle, we have house not made

Indeed, indeed, Simon said Sarah
through her tears, that deep affliclion
has been a blessing To both Of Us! II

we don't see how it can be brought oul
