then am | strong enough, replied Mrs
Burton.
And she was stronger than she suppos

weak. Had she been confden, of strength
she would not have been wa;chful over
herself, but fearing every moment lest
she should betrav her natural iraScbili,v

But in all our states Of moral advance.
ment there are days and nights as in our
natural life. There are times when all
the downward tendencies of our nature
are active and appear to govern Us entirely
when our sun has gone down and all
within us is dark. AT such times we are
tempted TO believe that il h1s become
dark forever, that the sun will no more
appear in our horizon. This is only The
night before the morning, which will Ger
tainly break and seem brighter and full Of
strength to the anxious spirit.
Such changes Mrs Burton experienced.
and they were the unerring signs of her
progress. Sometimes for DAYS together
she would not be able TO control herself;
against all the perverse tempers Of her
child her feelings would react undaly:-
But these seasons were Of shorter and
shorter duration on every recurrence Of
them, and the reason was, she strove
most earnestly for the sake Of that child
to reduce her whole mind into a state of
order.
1t must not be supposed that Mrs Bur.

ready to yield itself up even 10 the control
Of gentleness and love. With him. too,
was there night and a morning. season
when all the perverse affections Of his
mind came forth into disorderly NANTES.

gentle words Of his mother, and season

causes of encouragement. but soon were

when she had gained tae victory over

her child opposed no longer.
Days. weeks. months and years went
