Necessity of Repentance.

To any one who is seriously impressed with a
sense of the critical state in which we are here
placed, short and uncertain space in which to
make our peace with God and then the last iudg-
ment, and an eternity of unspeakabe happiness
or misery, it is indeed an awful and affecting
spectacle, to see men busying themselves in vain
speculations of an arrogant curiosity, and triAing
with their dearest their everlasting interests 1t
is but feeble illustration of this exquisite folly,
to compare it to the conduct of some convicted
rebel, who, when brought into the presence of his
sovereign, instead of Selling the occasion to sue
for mercy, should even neglect and trhe with the
pardon which should be offered to him, and inso-
lenty employ himself in pryng into his Sovr-
eign's designs, and criticising his counsels. Our
case, indeed is in another point of comparison but
too much like that of the convicted rebel But
there is this grand dierence-that at the best his
success must be uncertain ours if it be not oul
own fault, is sure and while on the one hand, oul
guilt is unspeakably greater than that of any reb

The Dead,

How little do we think of the dead Their
bones lie entombed in all our towns, villages and
neighborhoods. The lands they cultivated the
houses they built, the works of their hands are
always before US. We travel the same road,
walk the same path, sit at the same fre-side,
sleep in the same room ride in the same carri-
age, and dine at the same table; yet seldom re-
member that those that once occupied those
places are gone-aIas! for ever. Strange that
the living should so soon forget the dead, when
the world is full of monuments of their lives
Strange that the feeting cares of life should SO
soon rush in and FIJI the breast, to the exclusion
of those so near. To-day man stands andweeps
over the grave Of his departed friend; tomorrow
he passes the grave with cold Indifference, To.
day his heart is wrung with all the bitterness O
anguish for one whom he so much loved; to-mor
row the image of that friend is aiaced from the
heart and almost forgotten. What commenta

The proud throne shall crumble
The diadem shall wane;
The tribes of earth shall humble
The pride of those who reign,
And war shall lay
His pomp away;
The fame that heroes cherish
The glory earned in deadly fray,
Like flowers that fade and perish.
Honor waits, DER all the eo'h

The art that calls the harvest forth,
And feeds expectant nations.
