THE STREAM OF LIFE.

The following beautiful and impressive
illustration OF life is from the celebrated
Bishop Heber's farewell sermon, deliver
ed many years since, upon the eve of his
departure for India, TO his parlshloners at
Hodnet, 10 Eogand:
"Life bears US on like the stream Of
mighty river. Our boat, at first ldes
swiftly down the narrow channel through
the playful murmurings Of the little brook
and windings Of iis grassy borders. The
trees shed their blossoms over our young
heads; we are IN hope, and we grasp ca
gerly at the beauties around; but the
stream hurries US on and still our hands
are empty.
Our course in youth and manhood is
along a wilder and deeper food and amid
objects more striking aud magnificent
We are animated by the moving picture
of enjoyment and industry passing before
us, we are excited by short lived success,
or depressed and rendered miserable by
short lived disappointment. But our en-
ergy and our dependence are both in vain.
The stream bears Us on, and our Joys and
griefs are left behind US; we may be ship.
wrecked but cannot anchor; our voyage
may be FASTENED but cannot be delayed
whether rough or smooth the river hastens
towards its home-the roaring Of the
waves is beneath our keel, and the land
lessons from our eyes, the foods are lil;ec
up around US, aud we take our Iast leave
Of earth and lis inhabitants, and OF our fur
Their voyage there is no witness but TIT
Infinite and the Eternal.
Aud do we still take so much though
for future days, when the days which hav,
gone by, have SO strangely aud uniformly
deceived US? Can we still so SET on
hearts upon the creatures oil God, when w
find, by a sad experience, that the create
is only permanent Or shall we not ra
Their lay aside every sin which does mos
easily beset US, and think of orselve
hencelorh as wayGaring persons only
who have no abiding inheritance hut il
the hope Of better world, and 10 whom
even the world would be worse than hone
less, if ii were not for our Lord Jesu
Christ, and the interest which we had oh
tanned in his mercies"

A HIGH EXAMPLE.

1t is well 20 keep the mind eXtraordlna-
ry examples Of virtue, 10 order to excite
emulation, and to sustain fortl'ude by the
recollection of the perfection of which hui.
man nature Is capable. Remarkable ln-
stances of selfdenia and sell-restrant,
though apparently, in themselves, useless
81 sapererogatory, have high exemplary
value, by showing Wat can be done or
endured from high and holy motives. The
tendency of our nature is TO indulgence

number. Passion and pleasure will al
ways prove more seductive than modera-
ton, or the abnegat!on Of self Instead,
then, Of ridiculing or desparsging seli-ln-
Fiction, or voluntary privation, we should
respect religious soicism, unless lis fruit
be spiritual pride, or it be accompanied
by that humility and charity which are
the highest cs well as the lowlest o.
Christian virtues. The following testlmo

THE PARTING.
No pen can paint, no tongue can tell,
The keen sensation OF the word farewell

No pen can paint, no tongue can tell, -
The keen sensauonof the word farewell,
There is a pang in parting from beloved
friends, which reaches the lnmost recess
of the heart and sways every tender feel
ing The gushing tear, the heaving sigh,
aud the agonlzing grasp OF the hand, alone
speak that language within, which, Ike
an imprisoned bird, struggles to be free.
The little circle Of friends, which gave
wings TO time in many n seasou of social
merrImeni, is scattered and memory alone
is left to feast on cherished friendships
the minds eye to dwell on valued forms;
the impression there, like tender plant,
is nurtureG by affection, aud the ever. green
scion blooms on memory'S waste, while
the parent stem Aouushes or decays in a
foreign land. To view The hour Of parting
from distance, we see not half It's sor-
rows, but nearer approach reflects that
which frowns on the smile Of peace, and
banishas tranquility from the bosom. Me
thinks see them now, with sorrowful Wis.,
ages, endea5orlng to assumed complacen>
cy wholly foreign to their hearts, while
the highly wrought feelings portrayed in
their countenances destroy every appear
ante Of that philosophy they wished TO
display. May my young lrieods never
lcel the angu,sh Of parting from those they
love, nor the chain of friendship, which
links two kindred hearts in one, ever be-
weakened by separation. Let them never
feel this, and the society of established
friends will calm the rough pillows Of life,
and lend ray to cheer mislortuno's
night. i

DY JOHN AUGUSTUS sIIRA.
Likeness of Heaven,
Agent Of power,
Man is thy victim,
Shipwreck thy dover.
Spices and jewels
From valley and sea,
Armies and banners
Are buried in thee.
What are the riches
OfMexico's mines,
To the wealth that Ear down
In the deep water shines!
The navies that cover
The conquering west,
Thou hing'st them to death
With one heave of thy breast!
From the high hills that visor
Thy wreck making shore,
The heart of the mariner
Shrinks at thy roar;
When like lambs on the mountain
Or news in the blast,
Der thy ridge-broken pillows
The canvass is cast.
How humbling to one
With heart or soul,
To look on thy greatness
Thy wonders to unfold;
To think that his heart
In cold ashes shall be,
While the voice of eternity
Rises flom thee.
Where are the cities
or theLes and of Tyre!
Swept from the nations,
Like sparks from the Gre.
The glory of Athens,
The greatness Of Rome
Dissolved, and forever,
Like dew in thy foam,
But thou art almighty
Eternal-sUbime-
Unweakened-unwasted-
Twin-brother of Time:
Fleets tempests nor nations
Thy glory can bow;
As the stars first beheld thee
Still ch4inless AIT thou.
But hold! when thy surses
No longer shall roll,
And the ornaments length
Is dawn back like scroll,
Then--then shall the spirit
That sings by thee now,
BE more mighty-more lasting
More cLainless than thou
