Trust in God.

Why despond, O thou afflicted traveller, tos-
sed with tempests and not comlorted? Thy Sd
vlour is nigh-his word is pledged for thy deliv-
erance. Though the storm may last long and
beat hard upon thy defenceless head-though
friends lorsake and wrongs Cypress, and difficult
ties rise like mountains before thee, yet, look up
and be calm; fear not neither be dismayed, for
God is still thy Friend. He will not leave thee,
nor for9ake thee. He sees thy tears and hears
thy signs; still trust him and give him thy whole
heart, and complete victory shall very soon be
thine. Yes, this moment, if thou wilt make the
surrender, thy fears shall be dissipated, thy re-
pinlngs shall give way to gratitude and praise,
and light, and love, and joy shall fill the dscon-
soIate heart-GAide TO h0LinesS.

pie. The first class consists of the poor, who
are not fortunate enough to produce more than
they consume, The advantage which they enjoy
from protection is sure employment with fair
wages. Protection sustains the demand for la
Dor by keeping all of its departments in profta-
Die operation. Amidst the multiplied calls for
labor the poor man takes his choice, and is not
at the mercy of an avaricious employer who can
dictate the terms. A. II, B. says, "the rich
regulate the price of labor" But this is not
true when there is an urgent demand for labor,
for then it will command its equivalent as surely
as the rich mans money, and the rich are often
obliged to submit to the poor mans terms
Employment is the only thing essential with this
poor class They are not much affected by the
high price Of produce, since their wages rise
with the price.
A second class benefited by protection con-
sists of those who produce more than they con-
sumo. These, whether manufacturers or farm
ers, enjoy good market for their surplus, the
manufacturers, because they are protected from
foreign competition, and the farmers because the
manufacturers being protected and not employ
ed in husbandry, want what the farmers have to
spare,
A third class benefited by protection consists
Of wealthy capitalists. These are enabled to
invest their capital in productive manner
This furnishes a ground of cutlery against pro-
lection. 1t makes rich men richer Even A.
II. B., usually argumentatiye, has seized this Cir
cumsance to rouse prejudice against Tariffs
lie SAYS, eve expect that rich men will hold
on to the tariff goose which lays them the golden
egg" And what egg would he expect goose
to lay for rich men but golden one! From the
nature of the case they are likely to gain most
by any system which promotes general prosper
ity. If they invest large capital why should
they not have large profits! But Tariffs enable
rich men to wrong the poor. How? A. II. B. has
neglected to enlighten US upon this question:
What are the facts! In the first place, rich men
expend large sums in erecting and furnishing
manufacturing establishments This is just what
the poor need for they cannot do it themselves.
The manufacturing establishment finished, the
rich man is obliged to hire aborers to carry on
his business. How does he get them? Does he
offer them choice between half pay and starv-
ing! No, he is obliged to offer them such wages
as will draw them off from all other employ
ments in country containing, as A. II, B. says
"innumerablc fields of labor" This is the
amount of that oppression which does SO much
to enlist A. II. BIS feelings against Tariffs.

POnnlar FOllY,

Mechanics get tinged somewhat with the idea
that it is not quite gentee enough for darling
child to be quito trade, and that it would be a
little more reputable for him to tend in a storel
Now no one will contend that all boys should
be apprenticed to a trade, any more than that
they should be all merchants, physicians or law
yers. But few will doubt, that many lads are
crowded into what are called the learned protes'
sons who are as unqualified by nature for these
eminent professions, as they are incompetent to
make good mechanics II is not any dullard that
will make mechanic, as is too often thought. Il

there is bright boy in the family, he must be
classically educated-if very stupid one, why
(say the fond parents,) we must apprentice him
to some Woodworking mechanic, and he will pro-
badly be able to plod through the wordP With
all proper Difference to parents so mistaken as
these, we, as mechanics, must say that stupid
boy will make as competent professional man
as mechanic. 1t requires good parts and a
ready active mind, to master the principles of a
mechanical business. We can easily account
for the understandable manner in which mocha
nism is often executed, when we reflect how
general the opinion has been-'the dulard to
the trade, if we cannot do any thing else with
him 1t is disgrace to us as mechanics, to
have it obtain credence, that mechanic can be
formed of any crooked stick of a boy We
should show proper pride, by rejecting those
boys whose only recommendation is stupidity
and whose parents think they are good for moth
ing but mechanics! We should return the COM
pliment they pay our pursuits, by saying to them
your sons are too poor stock for mechanics?

The hundreds Of idle young mon scattered through
out the country and oungng about in our large towns,
furnish indsputable evidence that many of the rising
generation are contracting habits which in after life
must cause large amount of sorrow and wretchcd-
ness. Labor is not respected as it should be, and the
consequence is that idleness takes the place of indus
try and poverty ghasty and wretched, that Of cheer
fulness and condensation.

Che Gomtlp Ctrtle,
Such is Life.

Such is Life,
"Life is like rosy bush
Just gifted with fower
1t buds to-day, tomorrow blooms
But blossoms for an hour"
In yonder wooden glen, seest thou that spark
ling, merry rivulet, as it dances gaily, hurriedy
along, with its murmuripg song? Joyous, hap
py stream, true emblem, indeed, of untroubed
childhood Now it increases in velocity, and
bounds with frightful rapidly over rocks-pIun-
ges in a yawning abyss-and then madly, turl-
ously hurries forward to join in some grander,
nober stream This is youth, impetuous youth,
ever eager to press forward. Now, it has reach
ed manhood, and in a majestic river it glides
steadily on, rejoicing in its own greatness, till at
last it is lost in the ocean of eternity" And
thus it is with life
Life, like an eyer-rolng stream,
Bears all its sons away"
Bright and rosy is the morn; not cloud
shades the bright azure of heaven; but there is
many brow couded with sorrow, anxiety and
care. Come and behold with me the shortness
of life. Step gently, tor see you not yon couch
with its fair occupant? Poor child, but few
short months have passed over its curly head and
now it must die, ere it has tasted Of the sorrows
of this earth "Happy voyager, no sooner laun-
ched than arrived at the haven !" See its pale
anxious mother by its bedside, how she watches
its every breath, starts at its least murmur; and
now upon her knees she falls, and prays with all
a mothers fond heart, that God may spare her
child, her only one. But bark he awakes he
speaks she takes him in her arms, clasps him
to her heart he twines his little arms about her
neck, and softly whispers, " mother" His head
sinks upon her shoulder-fainter, and still faint
er he breathes-one gasp-and he has winged
his flight with his brother angels. That mother,
with hopeless grief, again sinks on her knees,
and beseeches that God will take her, with her
child; her prayer is answered and eer anoth-
or morn has shed its golden light on earth,
she has met her child in heaven. And thus we
pass from earth, for GO life is soap bubble that
arises out of the abyss ofnothing Autters mo-
ment upon the margin of the gulf, and perishes
before the breath Of death. "-AIbaay Spectator.

A CONGREGATIONAL MINISTER.
Vermont, Nay %, lS48.

To the General Convention of Vermont, to be
assembled at Brandon on the Goth of June, 1913
the following is respectfully submitted for con-
sderation:
Whereas, the General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church, while undivided, declared that
they consider "the voluntary enslaving of one
part of the human race by another as gross
violation of the most precious and sacred rights
of human nature; as utterly inconsistent with
the law of God, which requires US to love our
neighbor as ourselves; and as utterly irrecon-
cilable with the prime pies and spirit Of the Cos
pei of Christi" and aOhcreaS, most, if not ALL of
the great Ecclesiastical Bodies with which we
hold fellowship, have confirmed this testimony,
the General Association of Massachusetts de-
claring their solemn belief that 1.-THE Word Of
God is utterly opposed to slavery as it exists in
these United States" the General Association
of New Hampshire, that saveholding "is utterly
inconsistent with natural justice-utterly at va
rance with the spirit and principles Of the Bible;'
the General Conference of Maine, that 'it is a
great sin against God and mana most threat
ening evil :" the General Association of Con-
nectcut that slavehodng "should be treated by
all the Churches of our Lord Jesus Christ as
an immortality Inconsistent with profession OF
the Christian religions" and this Convention
have once and again expressed their strong ab-
horrence of the system, as "uttcrly siniu-be-
fore both earth and heaven abominable," and
lifted up their voice of remonstrance against it,
affirming that for its entire removal call men
ought to do whatever they rightfuy and judic-
iousy can )" and WhercaS, we would neither be
"partakers in other mems sins" nor yet act pre-
cipitately in Withdrawing fellowship from those
with whom, were it not for this enormous evil,
we should be truly happy to remain united there
fore,
ResOlUed, That this Convention considers it
expedient to appoint, at this time, judicious
and able Committee, consisting Of Ministers and
laymen, to consider thoroughly whether it is or
is not the duty of this Body to withhold fellow
ship from individual Churches and other Eccle-
siastical Bodies on account of their practice or
federation of slaveholdng, and particularly,
whether our present connection with the two

Religious.
From the Ycrmont Chronicle.
A Great Question TO be considered.

A Treat question TO be considered
1t is the opinion of many ministers, and other
enlightened members of our churches, that the
Ecclesiastical Bodies of New England to say
nothing of like bodies in other portions of our
country, having for years demonstrated against
saveholding, ought now to take into solemn con-
sderation the duty of Withdrawing fellowship
from those corresponding bodies which continue
to tolerate it in their members and churches
This question is now, by appointment of the
General Conference Of Maine, in the hands of a
very able committee in that state, Of which the
Rev. Or. Tappan of Augusta is Chairman; and
it is supposed decisive action will be taken on
the report Of that committee i'll June next. 1t
is the earnest wish of some that like course
should be pursued in Vermont; and that the
matter should be taken into consideration by our
General Convention at their next meeting, which
will be at Brandon on the Goth June next.
Now it has occurred to me that, if matter so
deeply interesting should, Unexpectedly, be laid
before the committee of Overtures they might
shrink from the responsibility of presenting it,,
though doubtless a heavier responsibility would
be involved in a refusal. And then if the sub
ect should be presented without any preyiousno no.
tlCC, anu WINCH III tllC Vi OtNi OuolCSo
there should be little or no opportunity for thor
OUCH discussion no justice might be done it on
either side and the result might be in every re-
spect unpleasant. In view of these things, have
not been able to think of any course apparently
more judicious than to publish, seasonabIy, in
the Chronicle, for the consideration of both min
listers and churches, the following Resolution, in
troduced by Preamble setting forth the grounds
or reasons, why it should be adopted. The doc
ument will sufficiently explain itself
1t will be seen that those who are for, and
those who are against, Withdrawing from the
slayeholding bodies and those who have not
studied the subject at all, may, with propriety,
all tremendously unite in appointing the pro-
posed committee Let this committee study the
matter candidly and thoroughly, and give us their
mature conclusions in due season.
If consideration of the subject should be eX-
cludcd by the committee Of Oyertures, or if the
Convention should not see fit to take any such
course as is contemplated, it will remain for in
dvduals to act independently, according to their
own convictions of duty. But let u.s. if possible
act unitedly, in a measure of such momentous
concern
