There arc times when arm ciauchoty when
the sun seems to shine with shadowy light, and
the woods are filled with notes of sadness; when
the up-springing flowers seem blossoms strewed up
on bier, and eyory streamlet chants requiem.
Have we not all our trials; and though we may
bury the sad thoughts to which they give birth IN
the dark reccsses of our hearts, yet memory and
sensibility must both he Dead If we can always be
light and mrthful.
Once il was not There was a time when
l gaiiy viewed tho dull clouds Of rainy day, and
could hear the voice of rejoicing in the roarngs of
the wintry storm; when unmean-
ing word, and in thipgs which appear
sacred, my thoughIless mind could see the ludi>
crous.
These thoughts have been suggested by the re-
collection of poor old couple. to whom in my
careless grlhood, l gave the name of "the
first bells" And now, doubt not you are won
dering what strange association ofideas could have
led me as,en this appeaton upon poor old man
and woman. My answer must be t he narration Of
few facts.
When 1 was young, we all W orshipped in tho
great meeting house (which stands so vacant &
forlorn upon the brow OF Church hill 1t is never
used but upon town meeting days--ioc those who
once went up TO the house Of God in company now
worship in three separate buildings There is dis.
cord between thein---that worst of all hatred, the
amnesty which arises from difference of religious
opinions. 1 am sorry for it not that regret that
they cannot all think alike, but that they cannot
"agree TO differ" Because the heads not in
unison it needeh not that the hearts should be es
ranged and a difference in faith may be express
sed in kindly words
Iremember n ow how still and beautiful onr Sun
day mornings used to seem, after the toll and play
of the busy week. would take my catechsm in
my hand, and go and sit upon the large fiat stone,
un der the shade Of the chestnut tree and looking
abroad wonld wonder if there was thing that did
not feel that it was the Sabbath. The sun was as
bright and warm upon other days, but its light
seemed to falI more softly upon the heids, woods,
and hills and though the birds sung as loudly az
ovfuy as ever,l thought their sweet voices united
in a more sacred strain. 1 heard Sabbath tone
in the waving ofthe bnughs above me, ana N me
hmm of the bees around me /; and even the pieaing
of the lambs and lowing Of the kline, seem pitched
upon some softer key. Thus it is that the heart
fashions the mantle which is wont to enrobe all ia
,ro and oives 10 its uever.silent voices tone Of
low or so1tow, or holy peace
We had then no bell and when the hour APP
proached for the commencement OF religious servi

in silence. But precisely half an hour before the
