GRIEr.-Grief at the loss Of friends is

GRIEr.-Grief at the loss Of friends is
natural. To say, therefore. that tears for
the deceased are unreasonabl, because they
are Improbable, is 10 speak without regard
to the state and condition Of human nature.
A pious tear is a sign of humanity and gem
crosby; but still exceeding care must be
taken that men do not run into excuses of
this kind. To grove may be laudable; TO
be loud and queTulons is childish; and 10
carry matters so far as to refuse comfort IS
inexcusable. II is impious toward God,
without whose permission nothing happens
in the worlds il expresses too great dis
regard for other men, as though no one re-
NAMED worthy of esteem or love: and is
highly prejudicial TO ourselves, as it impairs
our health, weakens our minds, units US for
our several Offices, and sometimes ends in
death itself-BishOp Conybeare.
A GEM.-Give US such boys as have been
blessed with the Instructions of a pious
mother. Ii is qualification for which no
substitute can be found on earth. Never
would We despair Of the child who has been
used in his infancy, TO hear the precept of
heavenly truth inculcated in the accents of
maternal love. Truths thus distilled live
ever in the memory. They are interWoven
with all the sensibilities- of the soul. They
are the fortress of conscience, not impFeg-
nable, it is true, but indiscrutible. They
furnish the mind with chords which, in af-
ter life, seldom fail to Yibrate to The touch
lof faithful exposiulation. They are mex
ltinguishable sparks, which, being seemingly
smotheTed under heap Of corruption, may
be famed by the friendly and spiritual coun-
sel into the pure and genialaane Of piety.
