THE INFANT IN HEAVEN.

DR.. Chambers furnishes the following
expression of on the subject Of infant sal
walton. 1t is expressed in strong and
beautiful language:
This affords, we think, something more
than dubious glimpse into the question,
that is often put by distracted mother
wht n her babe is taken away from her,
when all the converse il ever had with the
world amounted 10 the gaze upon it for a
few opening smiles, which marked the
dawn of felt enjoyment; and ere it had
reached perhaps the lisp of infancy, it,
all unconcious Of death, had to wrestle
through period of sickness with its pow
er. and at length to be overcome by it.
Oh, it little knew what an interest il
had created in that home where il was 50
passing vIsltant, nor when carried to its
early grave what tide of emotions it
would raise among the few acquaintances
II teit behind il! On it too, baptism was
Impressed as a seal, and as a sign i, was
never Glsihrd. There was 20 positive
unbtlief in It's bosom no love at all for
the darkness rather than the light-n r
hnd II yet fsllen into that great condem-
milton which will attach itself to all that
de DIS are evil.
When we couple with this the known
disposition Of our great forerunner--the
Iovc that he manifested TO children on
earth, how he suffered them to approach
ais person, and lavshing their endear-
ments and kindness upon them in Jerusa.
lem, told tie diciples that the presence
and the company Of such as these IN heav-
en- formed one ingredient Of the joy that
was set before him tell us il Christianity
does not throw pleasing radiance around
an infants tombl And should any parent
who hears us feel soitencd by the touch
my remembrance of light that twinkled
few short months under his roof, and at
the end ofts little period expired, we ven.
tuTe too far when we say that he has on
ly to persevere in the faith and 10 the fol-
loving oftha Gospel, and that very ligh.
will again shine upon him in heaven.
The blossom which withered here upon
its stalk, has been iransplanted there to
place of endurance, and it will then glad
den the eye which now weeps gu, the
agony of an affection that has been sorely
wounded; and IN the name of Him who il
on earth, would have wept with them, do
we bid all believers present, to sorrow not
even MS others which have no hope, but
to take comfort in the thought of that
country where there is no sorrow and no
separation.
Oh. when mother meets on high,
The babe ,he lost in infancy,
Hath she not then for pains and fear
