Bright be our parting where brightly we met;
Voices Of music are echoing yet;
Tones that we love 10 hear
Swell on tine listening ear,
lIark now. in accents clear,
Singing good night;
Good night, good night, and Joy surround you;
Good night, good night:
The lingering tone that mem'ry loves,
Thro' Your dreams in peace be stealing,
All its Joys in life revealing,
Thro' each field where fancy royes-
Good night, a warm good night
Thro' each field where fancy roves-
Good night, warm good night
Good night, good night, and JOY surround you;
Good night, good night.
The lingering tone that mem'ry loves;
Good night, good night.
Swif; speed the moments Of meeting with you,
Hours Of enjoyment has tinged a. they flew
Bright as still waters lie,
When each fair star On high
Bends from the quiet sky,
Looking good night;
Good night, good night-brief be parting
Good night, good nght-the ccAoing fall of

Breathe around her sweetest numbers,
Through your soft and gentle s!unbers,
Till in peace we meet again.
Good night--once more, good night.

past then you must if necessary lay it
aside
That is good suggestion she said,
not recognising the malicious instigation );
| will wear it as long as | can, and then
attend to my salvation. In this way
can save both my feather and my SOUL
Having thus settled the matter, she went
home, in more comfortable state of mind.
As she was really anxious to retain her
serious impressions, she spent season in
PRAYER and meditation, before retiring for
the night. The more she reflected the
more uneasy she became but she sue
ceeded in recovering a certain degree of
calmness, by renewing the resolution she
had previously made of becoming 4
Christian, when her feather could no longer
minister to her vain love of display. She
then tried to compose herself TO sleep, but
during the darkness and stiffness of that
hour, her thoughts assumed more distinct
ness, and the voice which was speaking
within, became too loud to be stifled. At
length it said in earnest and solemn tones,
: VIII YOU barter your soul for feather 2
She lay for moment, ponderlng the
momentous question, and estimating the
profit Of losing her soul, and gaining
such bauble.
1t shall never be said that gave my
soul in exchange for a feather she re-
sponded and rising from her bed, she re-
lighted her candle. She then deliberately
and firmly took the feather from her hat,
exclaiming, Thou art lighter than vanity.
Thou art but as the small dust of the bal

undying soul The contest was over;
all that stood between her soul and saliva

humble, believing spirit, she went to the
feet of the Saviour, and yielded herself TO
his control forever.
Probably the cases are rare, in which
the struggle of the soul between the claims
of God and the objects Of his idoIatry, is
so strongly marked as in this instance ;
vet it is always true. that there is some
darling object, some idol of the affections,
which opposes the soul. that is seeking in
earnest TO work out It's own salvation
and if a correct analysis of the case were
made, how often would this obstacle be
found, no more substantial or weighty
than feather II. \.

The Old kirkyard.

o come with me to the old kirkyard,
/ well know the path thro' the soft greensward;
Friends sIumbcr there we were won't to regard;
Wen trace outtheir name in the old Kirkyard.
o mourn not for thcm-thcir grief is Ger;
g weep not for tlicm-they weep no more;
For deep is their sleep, tho cold and hard,
Their pillow may be i'll the old kirkyard.
| know it is vain. when friends depart
TO breathe kind words to broken heart;
| know that the joys Of life seem marred,
When we follow them home 10 the old kirkyard.
But were | at rest beneath yon tree,
Why shouldst thou weep dear friends for me !?
I'm wayworn and sad; al, why then retard
The rest that | seek in the old kirkyard?
