And hast not failed me, az It Is mans wont.
Beneath the burden thou hast calmly bowed,
And faithful borne thy share; and with all sweet
And holy ministration, thou hast watched
Unfailing through the liyelong night OF pain;
And more, from thine own true and loving heart
Thou hast, through sympathizing sighs and tears,
Poured consolation on my stricken soul.
Therefore shall ardent wish and coaselcss prayer
Ascend to Heaven for thee and He who sees
All beings with a fathers loving eye, l .#

Well pleased; and from the treasures Of his love,

IHE LOST LAMB.-Among the pets and
playthings gathered in and about the beautiful
mansion of Mr.. Lee, few were more loved by
the children of the family, or attracted more at
tention from visiters, than a little lamb, the
property of sweet Annie Lee, bright child
of about six, the pride and darling of the house
One morning, Annie entered the breakfast
room, her face drenched with tears, and run
ming to her mother, cried her lamb was lost.
A few moments soothing pacifed her, and a
man was despatched for the straggler, who
soon returned, carrying the little rover in his
arms
Alter Annie's transports had subsded, Mrs
Lee drew her aside, and in simple but beaut-
fully touching language told her of the Saviour
calling little children, his lost lambs to como
to him, to leave the thorny path of the world,
and rest In the sheltering care of the Good
Shepherd Annie lost not a word like an up.

In CHA1Ns-A SCENE FOR FATHERs-On a
Sabbath evening, when the services of the day
were over, and directed my steps towards the
next appointment, | alighted at an inn and
was ushered into the common room appointed
for travellers. 1t was nearly dark, and the
only light in the room was that proceeding
from the fire, around which number of per-
sons were sitting. Taking my seat among
them, my eyes were soon arrested by the sight
Of two persons sitting together with downcast
eyes, sad and sorrowfui; and soon afterwards
| perceived that their hands We're manacled,
and themselves bound fast to each other; and
Oh inquiry learned that they were on their
way to the Penitentiary of our State, there to
remain for ten or twelve years, for robbery
committed in concert. The one was an old
man, the other younger one. Shall inform
my readers, they were a father and his son
What a sight And who, think you, was first
and chief in guilt Was it the father or the
son !? Did the son say to the father, "Fathar
let us steal !" Impossible The lips Of son
could scarce utter the words, except first taught
by the father Is it the son thot teaches the
father to utter words Of hlasphemy. that raises
the accursed cup to bis lips, and says Father,
drink" Or is it not the father that teaches
his infant child, by precept, perhaps as we'll as
example, to swear, and pour the first fatal
drop into his opened lips!
The scene have described followed me for
a long time from day to day, from church TO
church, and seemed ever before my eyes.
could not raise up in the pulpit and look upon
the congregation, but it seemed renewed before
me. | thought | saw parents and children,
husbands and wives, sitting side by side, bound
by invisible chains of sin stronger than links
of iron, and going onward not to some tempo

there is no escape. What thought, that on
some Sabbath day, and in some house Of God
parents and children may be sitting side by
side, and moving onward, as fast as the wings
of time can bear them to some eternal abode
of darkness and misery-the parents leading
the way in wickedness and guilt! Let all pa
rents examine themselves well, and see how
deeply guilty they are by reason Of their evil
