ONE THING AT A TINE.

Step among your nJlghbors, reader,
and see whether those among them who
have got along smoothly, and uccumu.
lated property and gained a good name
have not been men who bent. themselves
TO one single branch Of Uusinesss-who
brought all their powers TO bear upon
one point, and built on one foundation.
Ii must be so.
Go out in the spring, when the sun is
yet far distant, and you can scarcely
feel lhd influence of his beams, scatter.
ed as they are over tie wide face OF
creation; Lu, collect those beams to q
focus, and they kInd.e uPa flame in an
instant. So the man that squanders
his talents and his strength on many
things, will fail to make an impression
with either; but let him draw them to q
point, let him strike alta single object
and it will WELD before him.

Now Uncle Ben could neither write,

of complaint, with a space left blank
for the names of the offending party

reserved for them.

now afforded was too good to be lost.

TRANQUILITY.
by MRS. L. wELLNoNT.

Il can bear grea, events with calm.
ness and pious resignation said an
eminent Christian, but the hourly vexa.
tions and crosses of life rufile my tenn
per, and cause me every day TO sim
Is 1t not truth, confirmed by every
ones experience. Alas for poor, frail
humanity! have seen the soul chas
tened by adversely, meekly trusting and
reposing on the Infinite Arm of love,
called to Withstand some impertinent
reply, or to perform some act that had
been carelessly omitted, suddenly
thrown off its balance, vexed, perhaps
led TO utter some unchristian expression
and thus made to sin at trifles, when
heavy chaslisements were submissively
borns. O, it is great virtue, to learn
tranquility under the petty trials of our
daily lot! To be ChriStike, implies this
calm selEpossession. Have we not a
blessed example set bfore US, in his Sc.
rene and peaceful passage through in.
dignites, revilings and bitter scornl--
Was he not tempted like US, and did
you ever know him TO be impetuous or
wrathfu? 1t has been said, there is no
condition in life, no sorrow, no hope, no
despair, but the Redeemer was similar
ly circumstanced; so that we have q
pattern under all allotments how to
bear tho discipline. But how do we
bear it! That rash word you uttered
yesterday, that promise you made ,hi:
morning, that recrimna,ion you threw
upon some dependant, or that foolish
resentment which burned so furiously
how compart such feelings and acts
with Christian character?
Were | called to select the mos
perfect pattern of Christian excellence
| would not take those whom the Cler
gyman should point TO me as models O.
piety, nor yet those whom persona
friendship has distinguished; but i

the world, that temper which bore s.

seemed penIlent; that kindness, TOT
which relieved the sickness of dome:
tic, or spoke words of cheerfuness /
those worn and wearied hearts VIII
have daily toiled for US. Here we hav
the truest manifestations of the re;
Christian graces, thoroughly ingrainc
in the character. Words may be sp(
cious; but the acts of love that noises

these show the heart, and these man
