saw temple, reared by the hands of men,
standing with it's high pinaces in the distant
plain The streams beat upon it; the God of
Nature hurled his thnnderbolts against t-and
vet it stood as firm as adamant. Reyery was in
its hall-Thc gay, the beautiful were there.
Ireturncd and the temple was not there. Its
high walls lay scattered in ruin; moss and wild
grass grew wildly there
The young and the gay who reyelled there had
passed away.

its mother, and the only pride of its father.

BEWARE now YOU USE IT,--All admit the
great inlucne one sex has over the other, None
will deny the influence the wife has over the
husband the mother over the son, or the sister
over the brother but while we know that we
possess that influence, We should be careful,
very careful in what way we use it. Man, in
the majority of cases, will not be commanded or
cocrced into any measures Tenderness, per-
suasion and affection may and will accomplish
much while a different course will estrange him
farther from you. Oh how the words ola Grim
na, who was convicted for state prison offence,
now ring in my ears. lie said, cone kind word,
one ahectionate look from my wife, would have
saved this"
Wife, filthy husband fall, cast him not aside
reproach him not with bitter words, but by thy
kindness win him back; remembering, that as
you hope to be forgiven, you must also forgive.
Mother wife, daughter, beware how you set
temptation before those who are near and dear
to you. How many man has been driven to
ntemperancc, by the first glass presented to him
by woman
Wife make the home Of thy husband happy
resort for him from the cares and troubles oflle;
let him ever receive from you cordial welcome
he may be perplexed with many cares and
troubles that he would desire to keep from you
fearing it would cause you sorrow and grief =
for in so doing, you keep him from resorting tc
places for company and enjoyment where the
seeds of dissipation and ruin may be sown.

God sees through all Prelenccs.

How simple is this proposition and yet how
amazing admitted by all, believed by few
and by them not steadily.
God sees through all prCtmces. Then why
should use pretences Why be ambitious to
appear what Pm not, rather than try to be what ]
ought
God sees through all prct0ccs, And he will
one day make his intelligent universe see through
them too, No wolf can carry his sleeps cloth
ing to the Judgment seat. lie must leave every
thing false and painted behind. There he must
appear as he is, not as he would like to have men
think of him Why then spend my time in
garnshing the outside of my character, while my
character itself is neglected!
God Sees Through aHprctcnces. And he will
blow them away at the last day like choA before
the whirlwind. Everything false and hollow vii
be carried into eternal oblivion. Nothing bu
the naked reality will remain. O, what wreck
of human pomp and parade and vain show :
How insignificant will the great ones of this
world appear, when all the outward 'pomp and
circumstance" in which their greatness lay, is
left behind, and they appear in their own proper
Iittlencss before the Judge Of all the earth.
Would men take hundredth part Of the pains
to be, that they do to seem good and fair, how
well would it be for them and society too.--OAiC

The Generous little Girl,

1t is a beautiful sight, when children treat
each other with kindness and love, as is related
in the following little story:
Last evening (says the narrator,) | took
supper with Lydia's father and mother. Before
supper, Lydia, her parents, and myself, were
sitting in the room together, and her little broth
err Oliver was out in the yard drawing his cart
about"
"The mother went out and brought in some
peaches; a few of which were large, red-cheek-
ed rare-ripes-the rest small, ordinary peaches.
The father handed me one of the rare-ripes
gave one to the mother, and then one of the
best to his little daughter, who was eight years
old He then took one of the smaller ones, and
gave it to Lydia, and told her to go and give il
to her brother. lie was four years old. Lydi;
went out and was gone about ten minutes, anC
then came in"
Did you give your brother the peach sen
| him :" asked the father
Lydia blushed turned away, and did not an
swer.
odd you give your brother the peach | sen
him 2" asked the father again, little mor'
sharply.
"No, father, said she, l did not give hin
that"

of the house with the other boys; and in order
to avoid the reprovng eye of that firm mother,
he retired to his bed This place, however was
not one Of comfort to him-for soon his quick

She entered his room; stood by his bed and
after talking to him Of his sin in pious mother's
heart stirring language, she spared not the rod
lest he should bring her to shame The spirit
of her boy was humbled, and he promised never
again to grieve her in the same way As soon

Be kind to each other!
Ere in sorrow you roam

Or ycarn for the forms that have passed away
To dwell in the light of happier day.

And strive day by day,
To render some kindness
To soften Lfe's way;
And remember that friends the first ones should be,
To correct all the faults in each other they see.

Each hour should recall as it passes away,
Some being made glad by Loves kindly sway.

Summer

The season OF summer calls the vigorous mind
to profound CONCENTRATIONS. Inestimablc are
those habits of thought and observation which
convert nature into the temple of God, and rem
der all its different scenes expressive of the var-
Gus attributes of the Almighty Mind. Every
season speaks of the analogous character which
we ought to maintain. 1t is now the pride and
glory of the year The earth is covered with
Righteousness, and the sun is pursuing, like a
giant, his course through the heavens, dispensing
light and yigor over the world beneath him
Are there no classes or cond tons of men Of
whose character and duties this season is descp-
tive Are there no moral lessons which they
who love the Lord may gather from that sun
which now goeth forth in his might?
Is it not in the first place, emblematic to us
of the maturity of human life, and of the virtues
which that season ought to display? To those
Of that age, the spring, with all its wca kncss, and
all its dangers; is past; an unseen arm has CON
daucted them through the dawn Of their infant
Journey, and led them on to that mighty stage
where the honors of time and of eternity are to
be won. Whatever may be the station or con-
dtion in which they are placed, there is vet to
all some simple and evident duty which they are
called to perform, some course which they are
summoned to rum and what is far more, howey-
er narrow may be its bounds, or obscure its sit
uation, there is some sphere in which their inhu-
ence extends and in whichikc the summer sun,
they may difuse joy and happiness around them.
In such seasons, let nature be their instructor
and while they bless the useful light which pours
gladness among the dwellings, of men, let them
remember that they also were made to bless and
LET tD
have now arisen the heightened and the enlight-
ened days ofIfe, when every thing calls them to
labor; that the breath Of Heaven has ripened all
their powers of mind and body into perfection
that there are eyes in heaven and earth which
look upon the course they are pursuing; and
that the honors Of time, and the hopes of immor-
tally, alike depend upon the use which they
make of the summer oftheir days. re-. Brooks

Thoughts and MaXimS,
BY TIE REV. HERMAN HOOKER


A man is not proud without inheritng some
advantage over others, but he may be vain with
out any advantage ofmerit, if you give him the
credit of it.
God is honored in our knowing and receiving
what he has done for us, not in our attempts to
do the same for ourselves.
Vanity, not malice, is the prevalent reason
why men take so little pleasure in the praise and
gifts of others.
What is thought of us, or what we think of
ourselves, is not so much proof of what we arc,
as what we think of Christ, and what we are
ready to do for him.
A prevailing curiosity to know things that
can be turned to no account, indicates mind
whose improvement has stopped or will soon
do So
There is one punishment of an evil doer which
is seldm considered it is the misery of being
left to suppose others possessed Of the same evil
dispositions as himself
1t is a mark of high and pure mind to mag
inc greatness or goodness where it is not to
deck with loneliness and beauty actions which
have no worthy aim.
The ingenious mind gladly pays tribute to
merit, and strengthens itself with the uttcrancc
ofprase.
Wemust always be wiser in order to prize
wisdom,
The sweetest of all life is that which we live
in the good of others.
Good things have a bond of union which in
all changes do but tend to disclose and strength
en-.
True beauty is that which is fair without stri-
wing to appear so.
Aflectation is but first fruit of beauty's fall
Wisdom which is according to GoD,is a learn
ing which requires no letters, and whose teacher
is love.
Our faith must be the most rational of our ex-
ercises, because it receives nothing but the
teacher of the Divine Wisdom.
1t is better that one should err and fall by the
faults of his steps than OF his eyes.
More self-deniQl and thought are expended to
keep up the show of what we have not, than
would be required in restricting ourselves to the
hardest realities
Vanity, long INDUCED, becomes so exactmg
at least, that it claims all you can do, and is
never thankful for any service.
Pride is the dainty occupant of our bosoms,
and yet ever feeds on the meanncss and ntlrmity
of our kind.
True love of our fellow creatures should hard
y attach us to the world, for it will be found tina
the greater number of those we have loved most
arc gathered into eternity, SO that it is but separ
alton from them, we covet when we would pro
long our stay here.
Our greatness is best seen, not in the great
things we do or aspire to, but in the things t,
which we are called.
No man learns in science or religion withou
faith s; he cannot learn without this as foreiee
ing of something to be known
He that would be wise, should begin and keel
, on by believing.
Pride and Incidence make more slaves THAI
oppression.
Real greatness is not greater for the praise o
men it is what it is in spite of them.
