Bury Ne among my Kindred
Bury me IN my native place. among

a strange land. Although years Of
prosperity and happiness may have
been enjoyed since the youth left his
native village. he still fondly cherish

bis childhood. The rude church up
on the hiIl-the school house-the

where he was wont to pass the win>

his mind, and he longs, once more to
behold them. His strong desire can.
not be gratiied. The dew of death

brea,hes-"bury me by my fathers

Education Of the Soul.

1t was a glorious design of the Supreme Ar
chitect that led Him to create the human soul
for indefinite cultivation. Indeed, the great
principle of infinite progression is written IN lIy-
ing characters upon all His works-tis written
upon every sunbeam and floating cloud, upon
every part and particle of this magnificent uni
verse
But in none of His works do the wonderous
skill and far-reachlng beneyolence of the Crea-
tor appear more overwhelming, than in the SPLEEN
did mechanism of thinking, immortal spirit
Thought, action, intellectual and spiritual pro-
.gress are its birhright. Its very nature, there
fore, is laden with materials for intellectual ma
turity and glory, and to suppose that God crea-
ted it never to rise from the cradle of mental in
fancy, is an unjust ard wicked reflection upon
His wisdom and goodness.
1t is blessed truth that this little embryo
spirit is destined to advance from its cradle up
ward, through this probationary scene, and up
ward STILL through the successive ages of eterni-
ty, and that its powers are formed to unfold for
ever in those high and noble spheres of the uni
verse. o. what field for intellectual and spir-
itual progress and how bright and glorious must
be the career of an immortal spirit whose vast
resources of thought and action are cultivated
for heaven! Such spirit is the purest bright
est gem of earth, and will shine in undying
spSiandor In the armament Of Paradise. AS the
periods of its being are unmeasursd by the flight
of years, so its exercises of heavenly love and Joy
will continue unbounded in sublimty and dura-
ton Amid the ceaseless revolutions Of eternity,
the soul thus educated evil go on, rising in dig
nifty, expanding in beauty, and approxlmating for
ever towards the projections of the God who
made it" for it is prepared to know and glorify
Him.
food and angels regard the soul as the only
thing which possesses real dignity and worth, how
infinitely important that its education should com
mand our interest and awaken our energies. Il
is our noblest and richest treasure. Shall it, O
shall it be left to bloom but for day and ther
wither beneath the chilling blight of everlasting
remorse or shall it be cultivated to breathe cees

The First Sabbath.

Twice had the sun risen on the earth, and du-
ring each Of these two days, he beheld some of
the magnificent operations which were then going
on. But on the third day ofhs rising, the sew
enth from the creation, all was silent and still;
no little flower sprung up at once by the river
side; no tall trees lifted their heads anew from
1.-THE mountains, as escaping from confinement
from the darkness beneath; no new focks brows-
led on the hills; no new herds roamed in the for
est no new fishes glistened in the waters; no
new birds Or insects glanced in the sun-beams;
no second Adam and Eve appeared in another
paradise, to hail, with their eyes turned toward
the east, the first rays of the sun. But the same
flowers blushed in the deep valleys, the same wa
wing trees look down from their lofty thrones
1.-THE same sheep, the same cattle, the same inhab-
itants Of air and water were seen, seeming, by
'their peaceful silence, to partake of the univer
;sal repose of nature. And the same man ans
aVaman, sovereigns of the new made world, were
seen sitting round the shady bowers of Eden
prolonging the conversation Of the previous day
and occasionally intefrupting the general silence
of creation by their songs of praise.
Oh how sweet, how peaceful was the frs
Sabbath! No want, no pain, no feg; and, above
all, no sin could disturb its haowed tranquility
Happiness, with steady ard gentle light, beanie

Who has not seen youth enter into the busy
hum Of the world, with prospects bright and flat
termg-all of this worlds goods being heaped
upon him by the kindness of friendsl Allow me
to portray apicture the reality of which has been

and takes upon himself the responsibilities and
duties of husband To his wife he is kind g.,
affectionate, while new feelings, new hopes ex-
list but to render him happy. The husband be-
comes father, and the little prattlinp oAsorincs
of his love become more links in his chain o.
happiness. He lives and revels in the love anc
devotion of fond husband, and the parental care
of an affectionate father. Follow him, if yo,
please, and in far too many cases you will soor
find him rushing into the giddy, senseless vorte
of fashionable drinking He will at first, fee
the warnings and reproofs of his conscience
He awakes, after his first night of debauch, fee
bic and dispirited, and resolves that he will eve
after avoid that cup which has so debased hin
that the deeds of the night meet not with the ar
proval of morning reflections But, again W
