The following beautiful and impressive
illustration of life is from the celebrated Bish-
op Heber's farewell sermon, delivered ma
ny years since upon the eve of his departure
for India, to his parishioners al Hodnet in
England.
Life bears US on like the stream of
mighty river Our boat, at first. glides swift
ly down the narrow channel through the
playful murmurings Of the little brook, and
windings of its grassy border. The trees
shed their blossoms over our young heads
and the flowers on the brink seem to offer
themselves to our young hands; we are in
hope, and we grasp eagerly at the beauties
around US; bat the stream hurries US on, and
still our hands are empty.
"Our course in youth and manhood is a.
long wilder and deeper food, and amid
| objects more striking and magnificent. We
animated by the moving picture of enjoy
ment and industry passing before US, we are
excited by short lived success, or depressed
and rendered miserable by some equally
short lived disappointment. But our energy
and our dependence are both in vain. The
stream bears us on. and our joys and our
oriefs are left behind us; we may be ship
wrecked but we cannot anchor our voyage
@Is.eter,aA hat bc Delayed
whether rough or smooth the river hastenS
towards its home. but the roaring of the
waves is beneath our keel and the lands les
sen from our eyes, and the floods are lifted
up around us, and we take our last leave O
earth and its inhabitants, and of our further
voyage there is no witness but the Infinite
and Eternal
t.And do we still take so much thought fol
the future days. when the days which have
gone by have SO strangely and uniformly
deceived us2 Can we still set our heart;
upon the creatures Of God, when we find
by sad experience, that the Creator only j:
permanent Orshall we not rather lay aside
every sin which does most easily beset us
and think of ourselves hencefor:h as wayfar
ing persons only who have no abiding IN
heritance but in the hope of better world
and TO whom even that world would be worse
than hopeless, lift were not for our LORD
Jesus Christ. and the interest which we have
obtained in his raercies?'

CAUSE OF THE SUCCESS OF
LOCOEOEOISM

One cause ofthe success of locofocoism
heretofore is, that the leaders of that party
have always professed to be the exclusive
friends of the poor man and they have re-
sorted on all suitable occasions, to such unfair
means to fasten odium on the whic party,
that thousands of honest minds have been led
astray by their falsehoods. But we believe
the time to have arrived when that party
cannot any longer deceive the laboring poT-
ton of the community Their schemes of
government have been tried, and bitter in
deed is the fruit which they have6roduced.
First, the National Bank :-EHnt institution
was destroyed, with a pEemise to furnish
s'better currency" by<Srn.iuq a league of
State Banks, whosse Soses were to be receiv-

and ruin thousands who were before spros-
porous and happy" Il will thus be seen
| that the party who claim to be the exciu
sivc friends of the poor. have failed to re-
deem their promises. and now have nothing
further to offer but the exploded suh-treasu-
Iry humbug. Can such measure benefit
the poor man We think the experience
! of the past SIX months will answer effertu-
ally this question. Hard money transac-
tons in all the business of government: and
| individuals, must be followed by low wages
and loss OF employment, and this must even
tually lead to the depression of society and
the enslavement of the laboring classes, as IS
Eow unhappily the case with the inhabitants

WHY CARE FOR THE oRPHAN2

Because we were once children ourselves
and were reared to become what we are by
some one who cared for US. Because we are
linked bv the social law to all our fellow
creatures. and are therefore bound especially
TO care for those who need our protection.
Because it is ever delightful 10 take off the
weight of sorrow from the young and tender
heart, and cause peace and JOY to arise there
Because if the orphan is not cared for. he
will grow up to be vicious member OF So
cietv. and to exert pernicious influence all
around him. Because "pnre religion and
undefiled before God and tho Father, is to
visit the father5ess and widow in their affiic-
tion.n Because the orphan has few to care
for him.-Because we may be sure that the
care we bestow upon the orphan. will do
good.
Need we multiply reasons2 They come
to Us from every path of our social natures,
and are borne to us on every ray of revealed
light. Need we urge the comfort to our
own hearts, derived from caring for the or
