Young men should be cautious how they commit
themselves to the influence Of others, especially ofpar-
ties either in the Church or State.-Pary spirit in this
country has too often of late been synonymous with
party rancor; and if There be deadly foe to the
great interest of our country at this moment, know
not his name Or his dwelling place. We have seen
parties in the Church, that were manifestly in the
wrong, moving rapidly forward, and gathering fresh
strength they moved till they have seemed at length
to unite the fury fthe whrlwnd with the crash of the
thunderbolt And in the State too-we have seen the
feelings of community agtated by the spirit OF party
like the waves of the ocean in storm we have hearC
huge professions of patriotism and songs that liberty
herself might seem to have inspired, while yet the pre-
siding element in the whole was evidently spirit O
wrathfu and stormy opposition to the advocates Of
different set of principles. Who does not see no,
much young men in their zeal, liable to be swer
along by the spirit of party, to point to which the
sober convictions would never have carried them? TIL
popular maxim is that 1--WE must 60 with our party
and In following this maxim, many man has mad
shpwreck of his principles and of his character, and
his comfort; while he was playing the demagogue

sequence of the spirit she infused through him,
more than he could pay for; and the result is a
failure
How much the popularity or unpopularity of
ministers depends Oh their wives, has almost
passed into proverb. If Presbyleres ought to
examine ministers to see whether they are sound
in doctrine, much more their wives, to see
whether they are fit to exert the right influence
over their husbands directly, and through them
over their parishes And close scrutiny will
disclose the remarkable result that nine out Of
ten of the causes which result in the dismissal Of
ministers, originated primarily in their wives,
either directly or indirectly Literary men,
who rise in their calling must have 'help meets

Touching Story,
Warren, Feb. 5.

The following beautiful and touching story
was related by Dr. SchenbIy, of Maryland, at
meeting held in New York, on Sunday night
last, to hear the experience of twenty reformed
,drunkards.
A drunkard, who had run through his prop
erty, returned one night to his unfinished
room, He entered its empty halI-anguish was
gnawing at his heart-strings, and language is in
adequate to express his agony as he entered his
'wifes apartment, and there beheld the victims of
his appetite, his lovely wife and darling child
Morose and suIlen, he seated himself without a
word; he could not speak, he could not look
upon them. The mother said to the little angel
by her side, Come my child it is time to 90 to
bed' and that little babe, as was her wont,
knclt by her mothers lap, and gazing wistfulIy
into the face of her suffering parent, like a
piece of chiselled stItuary, slowly repeated her
nightly orison; and when she had finished, the
child (but four years of age) said to her mother,
Dear ma, may not offer up one more prayer
Yes yes, my sweet pet pray Aud she lifted
up her tiny hands, closed her eyes, and prayed:
'Oh God! spare, oh spare my dear papa That
prayer was waited with electric rapidity to the
throne of God 1t was heard on hight was
heard on earth. The responsive Amen" burst
from that fathers lips and his heart of stone be-
came heart of flesh. Wife and child were
both cIasped to his bosom, and in penilence he
said, MY child, You have saved your father
from the grave Of a drunkard. I'll sign the

COME TO THE RESCUE!

Come now to the rescue! Vermonters, all GOMEZ
And drive from these mountains Gin Brandy and Rum
Come, let the first Tuesday in March tell the tale,
That all these dread fries, must quit hill and dale
Let not the Rumseller be licensed to KILL
TO deal to his neighbors this poison, at will,
And rob him happiness, money and life,
And spread all around him, CONSERVATION and strife.
Let no one be licensed to deal out distress
To any around him, and fear no redress,
To enter the cottage, where happiness reigns,
And fit its loved tenants for prisons and chains
Too long has this monster ranged over our hills
And scattered his poison, by gallons and gills,
Too many mother has, suffering, died.
Too many a child has been robbed of its guide.
Come now to the rescue! all rally again.
And show to the world that Vermonters are men,
That Temperance banners shall wave all unfured,
Till from his proud throne is King Alcohol hurled.
Then, echoing onward from hilltop to plain,
Shall be sung in proud notes. "Weare Free free again
We shall not be murdered by this liquid fire;
The bright sparkling water, is all we desire"

Mr.. EDIrom-In this article it shall be my object
to notice very singular position, taken by my worthy
BROTHER which is, that spending our time and
strength in contendirg with each other | have but
little doubt that on more careful survey of the prem
ses, he will count this among the strange magnations
of his past history. His pen has long been employed
in effort to content proslavery chuchmen to remain
they were, and deuded hundreds have been lulled
to little sleep by the syrcn song of slime enough
yet don't move too fast" &c. till our hearts lave bled
at the thought of the influence, it seemed TO us his
course exerting; still we remained SILENT till it
seemed to us that silence was SIM But, no sooner
had these questions have been proposed, that might
throw light on some minds, than this same author
thinks welc stopping for Improbable contentious.
My personal acquaintance with that gentleman forbds
me to think for moment that he seriously wishes to
monopolise all the rights of speech and PRESS but on
the contrary, could he see that there was chance
given by him for such inference, he would spare
neither time nor labor to make all reasonable amends.
lie must have forgotten himself when he penned
that thought. Is it possible he thinks the taking
stand against church slavery and carrying out the prin
cipes will hinder the of aboton.-lt seems So
As ministers, we have often said to professors who
were living beneath their privilege, that they staid in
the gap and were among the main hndrances to the
cause but, did once dream that it was our course
instead of theirs that hndercd the progress of purity;
At the present day. when men think that something
more than praying and voting is necessary and act
cordingy we are told that VIC arc spending time in I'M
profitable contention. The cry that total abstinence
would hinder the temperance cause, has had its day
but it that the mantle of the old prophet has fa
len on his junior; and now to go the length of abo
ition principles, is to hinder the progress of abolition
ism. 1t seems to be an established principle, that
every advancing step of the reform, we must be me
with the cry of too fast and too far and that ministers
are full the most likely to raise that objection agains
us; but Gods cause has been advanced in spite of i
all, and we trust it still will be.
Yours, for Free discussion,
II. FOSTER.

The Evening Prayer

Hank, whisper gently stealing
On the breath of evenings air,
See them rcverently kneeling
In the attitude of prayer
When the dew comes to the flower,
When the zephyrs whisper sweet,
Go then to your quiet bower
Go, and there your Savior meet.
When the busy day is closing,
When the things of earth grow dim,
Then the heart on God reposing,
Consecrates its all to him.
Oh, there's something in the hour,
Calling forth the inmost soul,
1t is a mysterious power
That the mind cannot control.
There is something DER it stealing,
IT'S an influence from above,
Bathing every thought and feeling
in tide of holy love.
