publicans and sinners; willing to be watched
with jealous eyes and slandered by lying tongues,
and hated by murderous hearts, and betrayed by
friendly hands, and denied by pledged lips and
rejected by apostate priests and deluded popu-

fenced to the cross, and to carry the cross, and

'PeaCC on EARTH
From the Advocate Of Peace for August.
The Brothers,

In one of the quiet villages of New England,
was pleasant farmhouse. 1t stood retired from
the public road and overshadowed by an ancient
Elm, with spreading branches. The barn and
fences were neatly kept, and the fields betoken-
ed good husbandry The sound Of the matrons
wheel, mingled with her song, was heard from
the open window in summer ; and the rich pro-
ducts of the cheese-press, attested her skill in
the dairy.
The farmer had two young sons, who took an
active part in his labors. In spring, they held
the plough, and assisted in sowing the seeds,
whose harvest was to give them bread In sum-
mer, they toiled among the hay which was to
feed their domestic animals In autumn they
aided to gather into the garner, the bounty that
God had given them. In winter, they sought,
at the district school, that knowledge which en-
riches the whole of life. They were both fond
of books, and diligent in their lessons, though
their turn and temper of mind differed.
One cold evening, they were sitting with their
books beside bright, wood fire, while the rays
of their lamp streamed cheerlully over the snow.

Xxx. 10.
Where burns the fire-side brightest
Cheering the social breast?
Where beats the fond heart lightest,
Its humble hopes possessed?
Y. here is the hour ofsadness
With meek-eyed patience borne
Worth more than those of gladness,
Which mirths gay cheeks adorn?
Pleasure is marked by Aectness,
To those who ever roam;
While grief itself has sweetness,
At home sweet home!
There blend the ties that strengthen
Our hearts in hours of grief
The silver links that lengthen
Joys visits, when most brief:
There, eyes, in all their splendor,
Are vocal to the heart
And glances, bright and tender,
Fresh eloquence impart;
Then, cost thou sigh for pleasure?
o! do not widely roam;
But seek that hidden treasure
At home-sweet home
Does pure religion charm thee
Far more than aught below?
Wouldst thou that she should arm thee
Against the hour of wo?
Her dwelling is not only
In temples built for prayer
For home itself is lonely
Unless her smiles be there;
Wherever we may wander,
'Tis all in vain we roam,
If worshipless her altar,
At home-sweet nome.
