Time..-itS Importance.

Time is bu. fragmen, of eternity for our
present being is Intimately connected with the
state of endless duration. Then if our tim e
is greatly misimproved, We are greatly the
losers. And should all our lime allotted to us
by wise Providence here be lost, then are We
losers TO all eternity for time once lost is los,
forever. How important then that our pre-
cous moments and golden hours should all be
ence to our future destiny!
But many have no time or inclination 10 at
tend 10 acts of religion, nor benevolence, nor
prayer, nor Bible reading, nor self examination,
much less Of looking into the future world, and
getting ready 10 die. Their language is inva-
riably, when in.erroga,ed on these important
and momen,ous subjec,s-"I havni time 20
hav'nt time" How amazingly, not TO say
universally, this mischievous and dangerous
expression obtains in our world :.
"Hav'n. ,ime!" No time to read religious
books or useful miscellany 'hav'n, time" TO
a,tendl 10 places Of divine worship nor social
prayer! "Hav'nt time" TO read the Bible that
book of books? Hay'n, time" to go into the
closet, nor mediate on Gods holy law! No
time for religious inlercourre no time to in-
quire after the Lord-no time 10 visit the poor
and despairing-no time for acts of benevo-
lence, and no season for usefulness With
such there is no time for intellectual research
no time 10 devote 10 the promotion of the
general good-no time for mental ihought-no
time for useful labOur-no time scarcely TO
live, and no time, forsoo,h 10 die
But, strange to tell, with such there 10 a
time and time sufficient, for inaciivi,y-for
pleasure-for babbling-for mschief--for graz.

Why there is not momen, OF our precious

ALFRED GACDALEI.
I, was after midnight, and the bride had long
since retired 10 her nuptial chamber, when her
young husband at last succeeded to escape from
the supper table, aid leaving his guests to take
care of ofihemselves, repaired to his brides apart
ment.
"Cone in sir" said Anne, in discreet voice
Madame is waiting for you"
The young husband pushed open the door, and
threw himself at the feet of his wife, who indeed
was waiting for him, seated BY the FIRE, in the ele-
CANT and coquettish disha5ille of rich widow
whose desires have been satisfied by new mar
riage
Rise, pray you, my beloved" she said to her
husband, stretching her hand to him.
No, no, Madame" replied the young man,
seizsg the hand extended TO him, no, allow me
TO remain thus at your feet, and do not take away
your hand, for fear you will escape. tremble
lest all this should prove but dream. It seems
,ha, must be the hero of some fairy tale, and that
on the poin, of being happy, my happiness will
fiy away, and leave me to sorrow and despair"
g Do not fear, my beloved, / was indeed yester-
dav the widow OF Lord Melvil; and | am TO day
Madame de la Tour, your wife. Danish from
your mind the fairy tale, for the tale is true s,o-
~"
Frederic de la Tour might well think that some
favorable fairy had taken the direction ofhs affairs,
for in less than month he had become rich and
happy beyond all expectation. He was 25, an or
phan, and earned hardly enough to support hin..
self, when, one day, while passing in the Rue ST.
Honore, brilliant equippsge stopped before him,
and charming elegant woman called out
"Siri Sir"
The foo,man unrolled the steps Of the carriage,
and hat in hand, respectfully invited Frederic to
take seat by the lady, all dressed in silks and
covered with diamonds. Scarcely was he seated
when the horses started at full speed
"Sir," said the lady in sweet voice, g have
received your letter, but notwithstanding your ex.
cuse, will expect the pleasure OF yoor company
tomorrow, at my soiree."
"Of my company inquired Frederic.
Yes, sir, you All, ! beg your pardon" ex.
claimed the lady, with surprise beg your
pardon. But you look so much like an acquain-
tance Of mine, that mistook your courtenance
All, dear me, whs, will you think fine sir But,
indeed, such striking resemblance. ANY one
would have committed the same mistake
Before the matter was explained the carnage
had stopped at the gate of superb mansion, and
Frederic could no less than offer bis hand TO Lady
Melvil.
LADY Melsil was beautiful, and Frederic was
easily subdued. He congratulated himself upon
his good luck, which had made him acquainted
with this charming woman--accepted her invita-
tions, and soon became one Of the ha61tues and
daily visitors at her house. The rich widow was
surrounded by host of admirers, but one by one
they were driven away, and things went on so,
that before the end of the week, the happy Fred
eric was the accepted suitor of the rich widow,

TEACHING OF AYALoGIEs.-The Olive Branch
complies the following:

TEACHING OF ANALoGIEs-The Olive Branch
complies the following;
\ village schoomastcr announced one day TO
his pupil, that an inspector would soon com to
examine them "lf he questions you on geog-
raPhy, he will probably ask" said he, ''what Is
the shape OF the earth: and if you dou't remem-
b,r, you need only look towards me; will show
You my snuff box, 50 to remind yon il is round.
Now the teacher had two snuff-boxes one round,
he carried during the week. The fatal day ar
rived; the dean, the master had anticipated,
asked one OF the scholars, what Is the shape OF
The earth? The latter, at first little embarrass-
cd, turns round to the mas err, who SHOWS his
snuff-boX, and he answers unhesitatingy;
at is round Sunday, sir, and square the res;
Of the week"
The preceding anecdote reminds Us Of another
instance Of the risk in teaching by analogies
4 female teacher of a school that stood on the
banks oil a quiet English stream, once wished to
communicate to her pupils an idea of faith
While she was trying TO explain the meaning Of
the word, a small covered boat glided in sight
along the stream. Selling upon the incident for
all illustration, she exclaimed;
"lf were to tell you that there is leg Of
mutton in that boat, YOU would believe me, would
ut YOU even without seeing it yoUrselyes!"
Yes, am" replied the scholars
Well, that is faith said the schoolmistress.
The next day, in order to test thcir recoIlec-
ton of the lesson, she inquired. VIVA: is faith!
"A leg of mutton in a boat?" was the answer
shouted from all parts of the room.
