John Bunyan's Gold Mine.

In these DAYS of rushing after gold as
seasonablc warning, we copy for perusal
the following passage from Bunyan's Pill
grim's Progress:
At the farthest side Of the plain called
Ease, was a little hill called Lucre, and in
that hill a silver mine which some of them
that had formerly gone that way. because
Of It's rarity, had turned aside to see but
going too near the brim of the pit, the
ground being deceitlul under them, broke,
and they were slain. Some also had been
manned there and could not to their dying
dav be their own men again.
Then | saw in my dream, that little
off the road, over against the silver mine
stood Demas, 10 call passengers to come
and see who said to Christian and his
fellows
'Ho! turn aside hitherto, and | will
show YOU a thing.
What thing so deserving as to turn us
from the way 2 asked Christian.
Here is a silver mine and some dig
ging in it for treasure. If YOU will come,
with little pains YOU may richly provide
for yourselves
Then said Hopeful, Let us 90 and
see
Not L. said Christian, have before
heard of this place, and how many here
have been slain--and besides, that treasure
is a snare to those that seek it, for it him
dreth them i'll their pilgrimage
Then Christian called to Demas saving
-. Is not the place dangerous ?
Not very dangerous except to those that
arc careless But withal he blushed as
he spoke.
Them said Christian to Hopeful, let
us not stir a step, but still keep on our
way
i viii warrant you, when Byends
comes up, if he has the same invitation as
we, he will turn in hither to see.
No doubt thereof said Christian, for
his principles lead him that way and a
hundred TO one he dies

The Bloom Of Age.

A good woman never grows old. Years
NAV pass over her head, but if benevolence
and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as
cheerful as when the spring of life first
opened 10 her view. When we look upon
a good woman we never think OF her age /;
she looks as charming as when the rose OF
youth first bloomed on her cheek. That
rose has not faded yet-it will never fade
In her family she is the life and delight.
In her neighborhood she is the friend and
benefactor. In the church the deyout
worshipper and the exemplary Christian
who does not respect and love the woman
who has passed her days in acts of kind
ness and mercy-who has been the friend
of man and God-whose whole life has
been a scene of kindness and love, de-
votion to truth and religion We repeat
such woman cannot grow old. She
will always be fresh and buoyant in spir-
its, and active in humble deeds of mercy
and benevolence. If the young lady de-
sires TO retain the bloom and beauty of
youth let her not yield TO the sway of
fashion and folly; let her love truth and
virtue and to the close of life she will re-
tain those feelings which now make life
appear garden of sweets--cver fresh and
ever new.

TEMPrATIoN.-How beautiful. in the
Lords Prayer, is the invocation of Lead
US not into temptation How much it
expresses, and what volume of thought
it opens. Lead us not into temptation.
The will may be strong but the heart is
weak, and in an evil hour the tempted falls
before the tempter. Temptation is little
rill which forms at first drop by drop
but follow its course, and ii swells until it
becomes mountain torrent, which sweeps
all before it. Lead us not into tempta-
ton'-fee from it as from q pestilence.
Avoid it-for honor, happiness, all, all
will be drawn into It's vortex, and become
a wreck upon the shores Of time. Lead
us not into temptation.

MemCrY Of the Past.

41011IOIJ VI s.IO t<1l'
When backward through departed years
On memory's wing we stray,
How oft we find source Of tears,
Along that wasted way!
The heart will vainly seek the light
That rested there before,
And sadly turn to mourn the blight
OF all it loved of yore.
We watch for footsteps that once came
To breathe the twilight vow
We listen for the silyery tone
Of voices silent now
We gaze on old familiar things,
And marvel that they bear
No gladness to our spirits wings,
Like that which once was there.
