THE PRAYER BOOK LAID ASIDE.

1t is related ofDeacon John Whiting of N.
Y. that while his heart was warm with gratitude
and love, and before he made public profession
of his faith, he made written covenant with God.
This covenant he and his wife signed while on
their knees. 1t is still in preservation, and, we
believe was never broken. One of the first
promises made was to set up family prayers
This, to him, was great trial. He had lived
without prayer until they had number of chill
dren, and large family of workmen and domes-
tics, who had witnessed his irreligious life, and
he could not pray before them. He could charge
jury or address public assembly, but he had
never learned to pray. He could not go back
without violating his covenant. He called his
family together read a chapter in the Bible, and
then kneeling down, read from book which lay
open before him, amorning prayer. He pursu-
ed this course for some time, until his little
daughter, who had been taught to knee beside
him, rose from her posture one morning, and
leaning upon his knee, said with the simplicity
of child, "Pa, wish you would learn some
other prayer You have read that so often, that
don't want to hear that any more" From
that time he laid by the prayer book and he
never afterwards wanted words to express in
prayer "the souls sincere desire" In truth, he
became a man ofprayer, and having used the of
fee of deacon well for nearly thirty years, he
purchased to himself good degree and grea
boldness in the faith. There may have been ;
want of method in his prayers, but there was Sc
much simplicity and pathos in them, that thC
nearer was always convinced that they came
from the heart, and they often reached thu
heart.

THE CLOSING ScENE.-The sublmity and
grandeur of this scene are, of themselves, suited
to draw off the mind from earth and impress it
with sentiments of sobriety and awe. The res
direction of the dead, the gathering of the ma.
tons, the rocking of the world and its conhagra-
ton, 'the shout, the voice Of the archangel, and
the trump of God" all unite to make this scene
of inconceivable sublimity, One single feature
in this grand exhibition will far exceed all the e
vents and ceremonies which in this world appear
so imposing. What is the Inauguration of I
President, or the coronation of an Emperor
compared with the coronation on that day, o
one of the least in the kingdom of Heaven 2
What is the mastering of armies, compared will
the assembling of all the generations of men
both of the quick and the dead !-Rev. d,
Fisk

WORLDLY ADMRATIoN.-There are no great
er objects of pity in the world, than those persons
who are admired by all around for their nice dis
cernment, and fine taste in every thing of a
worldly nature but have no taste for the riches that
endureth forever-no taste for God or his word
no love for Christ or their souls. In such q
state, however respected or admired, they cannot
see the kingdom of God.-CecH

which the dying struggle and sad look produced
and though grief, like cankerworm, may be
gnawing at her vitals, yet she finds a luxury in
her tears, sweetness in her sorrow, which none
but mother ever tasted

LITTLE FIRES"

We can do little more in world like ours,
says the Rev. Mr. Todd, in his volume of excel-
lent Hints to Young Men, than to kindle little
fires here and there, which will continue to burn,

RULES FOR LADIES.

Marry not profane man, because the depray-
ity ofhis heart will corrupt your children, and
embitter your existence.
Marry not a gambler, tppler, or frequent
er of taverns because he who has no regard for
himself will never have any for his wife.
Marry not a man who makes promises which
he never performs because you can never trust
him,
Marry not man whose actions do not cores
pond with his sentiments because the passions
have dethroned reason, and he is prepared to
commit every crime to which an evil nature, I'M
restrained, can nstgate him. The state Of that
man who regards not his own ideas of right and
wong is deplorabe, and the less you have to dc
with him the better.
Marry not man who is in the habit of run.
ming after all the girls in the country because
his affections are continually wavering and there
fore can never be permanent
Marry not man who neglects his business
if he does so when single, he will do worse wheI
married.
RULES FOR GENTLEMEN.
Marry not woman who cannot make shirt
or cook meals victuals Such woman wou
keep man poor all the days of his life.
Marry not woman who is lady and prouC
because she will be eternally 7"oldng if she doe
not get everything she wants.
Marry not woman who thinks herself bette
than any body else ; because it shows want {
sense, and she will have but few friends.
Marry not woman who is fond Of spinnin
street yarn; because such woman will NJ
make good wife, and will never be contente
at home
Marry not a woman who is in the daily hab
of slandering her neighbors, and giving ear to a
the gossiping she hears. Such women make tt
worst of wives-American Banner.
