knew him in the morn of life, when his edu-
cuation was completed, and he was prepared to
appear publicly on the theatre of the great world.
He was about entering the arena to struggle for
fortune and fame with his fellow men, The
path to distinction seemed open before him, his
genius was Of the highest order, his person was
model of manly beauty, his manners were grace
full, and his disposition kind and generous. At
this time his heart throbbed high with ambition,
and his eye kindled with hope.
Years passed away, and / again saw him. He
was then the husband of lovely wife, and the
father of a group of cherubs, he possessed com
petent fortune, the reward of enterprise and in
dustry, and sustained an elevated character
among his fellow men. No wish was apparently
Unparalleled, and almost envied him his happi-
ness. But at times fancied perceived an I'M

in his eye. Can he be ntemperatel whis-

His features, once the abode of health an'

coarse and bIoated! His cheeks, once bloomI
and transparent, were now of crimson hue, AM
covered with blotches, which too plainly denoto

the brilliant glance which once shot from hi

KINDNESS,

Kindness will always do good 1t makes 9th
ers happy-and that is doing good. 1t prompts
us TO seek to benefit others-and that is doing
good 1t makes others gentle, and benignant-
and that is doing good.
Let II be remembered, also, that it is by the
temper, and by the spirit that we manifest, that
the world forms its opinion ofthe nature of reli.
gIon. 1t is not by great deeds in trying circum.
stances, that men will Judge of the nature of the
gospel. The world at large cares little how Ig-
Mathis and Polycarp felt, or how they died. Per-
maps the mass Of those around you never heard
their names. They are little impressed by the
virtues which Latimer, and Ridley, and Cram

lleveing husband cares much for the gentle and
kind spirit of his wife-for all his happiness de.

HAVING.
We lave seen printed rules for haying to which
we cannot assent We have been advised to be-
gin moving quite early while it is cool, and to
lie by in the heat of the day while the hay is
drying, This seems rather too much in the
teeth of the ancient maxim, make hay while the
sun Shines He who would make his hay rap
idly and well must be about it in the middle of
the day, even though the weather is so warm as
to cause rapid perspiration
From ten o'clock A. NJ to five P NJ. he must
watch the weather and keep his hay STRIVING,
A nap at noon iii hay time, is entirely out Of
place. 1t would be safer to drop to sleep at six
o'clock A farmer of judgment and of attentive
habits will lose but very little hay by wettng.
He will watch the clouds from ten till his hay is
in the barn, or in cocks that are we'll trimmed.
Showers in the middle of the day are very
troublesome, but their bad effects may be avoid.
ed by skiIiul management When you arc
threatened with rain strive rather to get your
hay into heaps than to cart it to the barn, for in
this way you will generally secure twice as much
as you will with cart and oxen. Never mind
small scatteringgs when you have not time
enough to secure the whole. Look to the main
chance Collect the main body into heaps that
will turn the rain, and the hundred pounds Of
scatterngs will hardly be noticed in your NOW

To some it may appear triaing to be thus par
ticular; but we have seen farmers Of good judy
ment in other matters, act quite absurdly thro'
mere habit They have early been taught ito
rake clean perfectly clean and they observe
this rule in extreme cases, not considering that
when all is threatened with destruction they
should abandon what is less valuable for what is
more worthy of attention.
These men will laugh at the absurdity of the
dairy woman, who, when the house was on fire,
made it her first business to remove the pans OF
milk from the cellar and to set them in place

was going to destruction,

One morning after reading the fifth and sixth
chapters of the gospel of StMatthew, he exclaim

himself upon his knees, and prayed for divine
guidance
When he joined his wife at dinner, she asked
him what passage of scripture he had chose tol

from him that would borrow of thee, turn moi

EARTHLY AND HEAVENLY TREAS
URES.
1t was not for nothing that the wise creator of
all things hath placed gold and silver and all
precious minerals under our feet to be trod on.
and hath hidden them in the bowels of the earth,
that they cannot be obtained without great labor.
The nobest part of the creation he hath plac-
ed above our heads, and so open to our view,
that we cannot but every moment behold them
What did he else intend by this, but to draw a.
way our minds from these worthless though hid
den treasures, to which he foresaw we should be
too much addcted & to call them too the con-
temptation of those better things, which, beside
their beauty, are more obvious to us; that in
them we might see and admire the glory of their
Maker, and so seek their ownl How do those
men wrong themselves and misconstrue God,
who as if he had hidden these things because he
would have them sought, and laid the other open
for neglect bend themselves wholly to the seek
ing of these earthly treasures, and no more mind
heaven than lfthere were none? If we could
imagine beast to reason, how could he be more
absurd in his choice! How easy is it to observe
that the higher we go, the more purity and per-
lection we find. Yet carna men take up their
rest, and place their felicity in the lowest of
Gods workmanship; not regarding that which,
with It's own glory, can make them happy. Heav-
en- IS the proper place ofmy soul | will send
it up thither continually in my thoughts, while it
soourns with me- before it go to dwell there for
