Each cloud hath fragment of silver that lineth,"
To temper misforsuue, and maketh US blest.

And pant with the life load of wearisome care;
Yet deep in the valley there gushes fountain,
Its waters are living-ho! never despair.
Keep up good heart! It's the best way to tighten

Ere daybreak 'tis darkest-the morning will brighten

A PARENr.-A parent, who loves obedient
child, will sometimes give hlm picture book,
musical instrument, or some other thing as token
of his confidence and love. But if the parent
should find the child go much taken up with the
picture book as to forget the parental commands,
and to be getting into ways of disobedence he will
take it away. And thus God sometimes imports
especial spiritual consultations to his children; but
if he finds them as he sometimes does, more taken
up with the JOYS he gives than they are with him.
self and his commands, he will remove them
And he does it in great mercy. 1t is certainly
better to lose the gift than to be deprived of the
gver; to lose our consultations, than to lose oul
God.

great outcry against slavery, aud yet greedily
graspng all the slavehodng territory possible, and
retaining in fellowship slayeholding ministers and
