SUNDAY READING.

TELLING JESUS, Things always 90
smoothly with YOU" said a complaining
disciple to Mr. F. "I never hear YOU
make any complaints" 81 have found
out an etfe'tua way of guarding against
that fault" said Nlr. Il. 81 did not know
that you ever had any reason to complain"
Il done know thai / ever had but |
used to find myself doing it, until one day,
in reading the Bible, came across this
passage - The apostles gathered them
selves unto Jesus, and told him all things,
both what they had taught 1t occurred
to me, that, when l had any trouble, be-
fore told any one, should frSt tell Jesus.
And found, on trial, that, if | told him
flrsf, seldom ha" IN occasion to tell any
body else. j often find the burden en-
tlrely removed, while | am in the act of
telling him of it, and trouble which has its
burden removed is no longer trouble"
We ought to pray for dcliverance from
our trials but Jesus needs no information
respecting them. He is omnipoteLt, and
has no need that any thing be told him. ~
-" That is true, and vet he listened
with complacency and l;indnass whom his
disciples told him all things. In his svm-
Pathlzlng condesceNsion, he permits us to
repeat to him our troubles, cares, and lows
thouSl he knows them all. He listens
TO them with intrest: just as the tender
tather listens to the narrative of his
chiid. though it convcys no information.
ana he has connected great blessings with
TINS exercise of iiliaI confidence. If lessons
onc'a sorrows, ard doubles iovs, and
increases faith and low. The more as
siduonsly we cultivate aE intimate acuuain-
tanee with the Saviour, the greater will
be our hawpiness. and more rlpid onr pro-
Sress to wards heaven. IL up should
make it rule to go to Jesus every night
and tell him all the events Of The davs MI
that VIC have purposed, and felt, and said,
and done, and suffered, would it not have
influence on our conduct during the day |?
1t certainly would. The Thought that we
should have to tell Jesus about it,would
restrain ms from many an unholv act. we
could not wilfully indulge in what causeb
the agonieS of the garden and the cross, if
we were to make it the sabiect of conver-
sation with HIM before committing our
selves to slumbcr." 1T seems 20 me. that
for me to tell him all my experience
would be occupying his attention with
Sr,,les should have nothing but sin and
folly to tell him."
Sin and folly are no triaes; and the
way to get right evil of sidis, to stock
1t out before him in our confidential inter
course with him. You may depend up-
on it, may brother, that if YOU will 90 to
Jesus every night, and tell him things that
have occurred during the day, it will
speedily lift YOU abevc the world. It will
do much towards making the will Of Christ
your guiding, governing principle. It
will enable you to bear your crosses with
out repining. twill make you in MUD and
temper like him with whom you hold this
most intimate communion. O, that all
were in the babit of closing the
day by going TO Jesus, aud telling him all
the things that they have done, and omit
ted to do during the day ?"

How Luckyl

What a lucky circumstance it is that
we do not hear but little of what our
k'ad friends say about us behind our
backs. The birds of the air do not al
ways tell the secret whisperings of those
who are interested in dilating on our
characters. Our ears are suffered to rina
without being any the wiser in regard to
the cause. That is all well, for if we on
ly knew what was said, how wretched
we should be. And what "blowing up"
we should feel called upon to give the
gossip when we meet him. al hold it as
a fact" said Pascal, "that if all persons
knew what they said Of each other, there
would not be four friends in the world.
This is manifest from the disputes to which
indiscreet reports from one to another give
rise"

For the Women.

There is much clamor, in these days OF
progress, respecting, grant OF uew rights,
or an iexter,s..on 6 privileges to our SEX
A powerful moralist has said, that Gin
contentious for power, both, thephilosophy
and poetry of life are dropped and trod-

unto Adam, in the cool of the day, amid
the trees of Paradise. Not as toy, clog,
wrestler, prize fighter. No! help,
meet, such as was fitting for man to de-
sire, andsfor woman to become.
Since the Greater has assigned different
spheres Of action for the different sex S, il
is to be presumed, from this unerring wis
dom, that there is work enough iii e;@ccih
department to employ them, and that the
faithful performance Of that work will be
for the benefit of both. If he has made
one of the priestess of the inner temple

its unrevealed sanctities, why should she
seek to mingle with the warfare mat may
thunder at its gates or rc>a its turrets ?
Need she be tempted br pride, or curiosi-
ty, or glowing words, to barter her own
Eden
The true nobility of woman is to keep
her own sphere, and to adorn it, not like
the comet, daunting and perplexing other
systems, but as the pure star, which is first
to light the day@and last to leave it. If
she share not the fame of the ruler and
blood-shedder, her good works, such as
