TEMPERANCE ABROAD.

1t has already been stated that the Emperor Of
Russia is prohibiting Temperance Societies on
the GROUND ofthe injury which they do to the
revenue, by diminishing the consumption of Ii
quors which pay a tax But on the other hand,
his brother-in-aw, the King of Holland, is doing
every thing in his power to encourage them
He has ordered that a copy of the rules and reg
ulations of these societies shall be given to every
laboring person, in order that he may be shown
the advantages ofTemperance. 1t is a curious
fact, that the first royal parsonage who placed
himself at the head of Temperance society was
the half-ciyilized King of the Sandwich Islands.
Twenty years ago, drunkenness having become
habtual among his subjects, he called his chiefs
together, and after a speech on the evils of ntox-
ication, proposed that they should take with him
a pledge to drink in future only cold water and
thus set an example to the lower orders, apledge
which, says gentleman recently returned from
the Island, has been vigorously observed-[N

nor to my eyes lose their tender powerful charms
How slight, how small, how tiny memorial

finger OF close to the heart especially if she be
dead. No thought is so insupportable as that o
entire, total, blind forgetfulness--When the crea.
ture that once laughed, and sung, and wept to u;
close by our side or in our arms, is as fher smiles
her voice. her tears, her kisses had never been
She and them all swallowed up in the dark moth
ingness of the dust
OF all keep-sakes, memorials, relics---mos
dearly most devotedly do love little lock o
hair; and oh, when the head it beautifed is Ions
mouldered in the dust, how spiritual seems the un
dying glossiness of the sole remaining ringlet
All else gone to nothing save and except that soft
smooth, FURNISHED and glorious fragment of The
appareling that once hung in clouds and sun
shine over an angels brow.
Aye, lock of hair is far better than ANY pic
ture, it is part of the beloved object herself,
belongs to the tresses that often long ago, ma
have been disheveled, like shower Of sunbeam
over your beating breast. But now solemn
thoughts sadden the beauty once SO bright, so re
fugent, the longer you gaze on it, the more AM

BIBLE STORY NO. 2.

It is recorded in ancient history, that two hos
tile armies lay encamped over against each other,
valley lying between them. A young prince
proposed to one of his captains to 60 with him,
and attack the opposing army, They went over
by pass of difficult ascent, showed themselves
to the ennemy, who insultngly challenged them
to advance Climbing up the rock, they rush
ed upon the opposing army, and slew every man
that opposed them The army were filled with
CONSERVATION, began to STAY each other, and fed
in confusion Pursuing their flight, the
king and father of the prince, pushed his whole
army in pursuit. overlook the fugtives, and de-
stroyed great multitudes as they fled. In his
rash and fiery zeal to destroy his enemies, the
king pronounced curse upon any man, that
should stop to eat any thing until evening. The
prince not knowing what his father had done, saw
wild honey as he passed wood in the pursuit,
eat some, and found himself greatly refreshed
When the king learnt that his son had eaten the
honey, he resolved to carry into effect his rash
and inhuman vow, and would have killed his
son, had not the people nterposed. The people
said unto the king shall the prince die, who
hath wrought this great salvation? God for
bid: as the Lord liyeth, there shall not one hair
of his head fall to the ground; for he hath
wrought with God this day: so the people rescu.
ed the prince, that he died not.
Question LIST. Had the king any right to utter
such an imprecation?
End. Was the prince to blame for eating the
honey?
3D. Was not the conduct Of the king arbitra-
ny, unjust, and unciviI in denouncing death
against his excellent son! Were the people UNI
der any obligation to obey, in this case, the man
date of the king2 Was the conduct of the peo-
pie in rescuing the prince commendable, or not!
Had you been there, would you have obeyed the
king and killed the excellent prince, or would you
have joined with the people in rescuing him from
deatM
What may we learn from this portion of sa-
cred history
Answer We may learn, lst that the peo-
pie are of right possessed of the supreme power
and that when those, to whom this power is del
egated to be exercised for the good of the people,
greatly abuse their power, the people may and
in some cases ought to, resist their unjust anG
cruel acts. 2dly. We learn that the people al
large and consequently every Individual person
has right to Judge ofthe nature and tendency
Of those laws, which are enacted and may ever
resist such as are ftag rdntty unjust and cruel
This should, however, be done with great care
and with due consideration, lest we be found tC
resist good and wholesome laws, which we are
bound to respect The design of law is to pro
tect the innocent, and to restrain and punish the
wicked While the law does this we are bounC
to respect it; but unjust, cruel, and wicked law:
are abhorent to God and men, and no being i:
under any moral obligation to obey them. B. X

horse, or to investigate the wonderful disappear
ance of their intended victims. After smelling
about for some time, they comprehended the
real state Of the case and now began a regular
seige upon the intrenchmcnt which had been so
luckily provided for the two boys. The latter
were little stunned at first, but they soon APP
preciated their condition, and saw the advantage
which their present stronghold afforded for de-
fence.
Turning round, and bedding themselves in
the snow, so as to obtain comfortable position
they determined to continue where they were,
until relief should come, which they hoped might
speedily take place. They had not long space
for deliberation the growing of the wolves was
soon audible, and few minutes after they heard
them paving furiously in the snow, at the sides
of the capsized sleigh. The elder boy had
Ijack-knfe, whichhe now got ready, and placing
himself on his knees, prepared to give the enemy
sharp reception.
In a few minutes, the paws of one Of the
wolves we're seen below the edge of the sleigh
Clinchng one of them, the resolutc .U;h pulled
it in with all his might, but as he was about to
Iply his knife, the limb was Wrenched from HIM
The two animals wrought at their task with
incredible energy. Although thick sharp crust
lay upon the top of the snow, this was Immediate
ly torn away by their feet, and in a short space
they were already below the edge of the sleigh,
and on the point of graphing their prey when
their attention was called to their own safety
The horse had reached the village and an alarm
had been excited. The people hurried along the
road, and soon came to the scene of action.
So intent were the wolves upon their object
so reluctant to surrender the prey which seemed
within their grasp-that they faced two men for
a considerable time, and did not finally retreat
till they had received several severe blows. With
a reluctant growl they took to the woods and the
two boys were safely delivered from their i'm
prisonment

WITNESSES FOR CHRIST.

A Christian in profession, that is not a Christ
ian in life, discredits Christ, and hardens Others
against him, John the Baptist is more than
prophet, because he was "a witness of Christ; and
he was a'witness because he was like him, he did
as he did, he led holy and religious life; so he
was a witness. That great and glorious name Of
martyr, is but witness St Stephen was pro-
tO-matyr, Christ's first witness, because he was
the first witness that did as he did, that put on
his coIors, that drank Of his cup, that was bap-
tized with his baptism, with his own blood; so he
was witness To be witnesses for Christ, is tc
be like Christi to conform yourselves to Christ
and they in the text, and you are to be witnesses
of Chist in Jerusalem, and all Judea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the
earth.-DOnnc.

THE DELIVERER or WORK.

We have reason to believe that the deyerance
of Mr. Work has been brought about mainly by
the agency of an aged, but devoted female aboli-
zionist of this city. 1t is known to many, that
our benevolent friend Hester Moore, has for a
long time felt the deepest interest in the case OF
the Missouri prisoners, and has labored untiring-
ly in the almost hopeless task Of effecting their
deIiverance. Day and night the thought Of them
seemed to be in her mind, and she was continu-
ally trying to interest others in their behalf She
circulated petitions to the Governor of Missouri
praying for their release, and contributed and
raised money for the benefit of their bereayed
families. In the course of her efforts she hap.
pened upon gentleman Of much influence from
Missouri, now a resident of this city, whom she
succeeded in interesting in her object. From
him she procured letter to an influential per
sonal friend of Governor Edwards, which she
sent simultaneously with one Of her petitions
Wesaw the letter before it was sent, and though
at the timet would be likely, to some extent a
least to effect its object. The next thing We
heard was the announcement of Works pardon
If we are right in our belief as to the agenc,
that has brought about this desirable end, W,
have strong proof of the success that is sure t.
follow persevering and faithful effort When
feeble and aged woman can accomplish tasl
so hopeless, who need despair Who can eX
cuse themselves on the ground that they have n

WORLDLY MINDEDNESS.

1t is our great unhappiness, that the soul is al
ways in the senses, and the senses are always
upon the world, we converse with the world, we
talk ofthe world, we think of the world, we pro-
ject for the world ; and what can this produce,
but carnal and worldly frame of spirit We
must mediate heavenly things we must have
our conversation in heaven we must accustom
ourselves to inward and heavenly pleasures, if we
will have heavenly minds. We must let no day
pass, wherein we must not draw ourselves from the
body and sequester ourselves from the world that
we may converse with God and our own souls.
This will soon enable us to disdain the low and
beggarIy satisfactions of the outward man, and
make us long to be set free from the weight Of
this corruptible body, to breathe purer air and
to take our fill of refined and spiritual pleasure.

Usefulness depends on this, no less than hap
piness. A mans usefulness depends far more
Oh the kindness of his daily temper, than on the
great and glorious deeds that shall attract the
admiration of the world, and that shall send his
name down to future times. 1t is the rivulet
that gides through the meadow, and that runs
along day and night by the farmhouse, that is
useful rather than the swollen flood, or the moi
sy cataract Niagara excites our wonder, and
fills the mind with amazement and awe. We feel
that God is there; and it is we'll to go far to see
once, at least, how solemn it is to realize that
we are in the presence of the great God, and to
see what wonders his hand can do. But one
Niagara is enough for contnent-or world
while that same world needs thousands and tens
ofthousands of silvery fountains, and gently flow
ing rvulets that shall water every farm, and eve
ny meadow, and every garden, and shall flow on
every day and every night with their quiet and
gentle beauty. SO with life. We admire the
great deeds of Towards benevolence, and wish
that all men were like him. We revere the
names of the illustrious martyrs. We honor the
man who will throw himself in the imminent
deadly BREACH and save his country-and such
men and such deeds we must have when the oc-
casion calls for them. But all men are not to
be useful in this way-any more than all waters
are to rush by in swelling and angry floods. We
are to be useful in more limited spheres. We
are to cultivate the gentle charities Of life. We
are by consistent walk to benefit those around
us-though in humble vale, and though like
the gentle rivulet we may attract little attention,
we may soon cease to be remembered on earth.
