CHURCH SLEEPERS.

One of the old diyincs said, -"IIc that
sleeps in time Of worship is no better for the
time than corpse, at whose funeral the min
lister is preaching" And another worthy re-
marks, THAT slecpers in religious assem-
blies ere public nuisanccs, and ought to be
driven out from the place they SO much dis
grace"
Several centuries ago, old Bishop Aylmcr,
seeing his congregation pretty generally asleep
took his Hebrew Bible from his pocket, and
read a chapter, which aroused attention,
when the old minister sharply rebuked them
for sleeping when they might have understood
him, and listening when they knew not word
he said.
Aclergyman, at Exeter, in England, named
Nicoll, once saw several aldermen asleep, and
the movement among the hearers, woke tho
worshipful magistrates, and they stood up
The clcrgymcn then rose and said. The SER
mon is not yet finished, and now you are
awake, hope you viii hearkea moro dill
gently"
Many years ago, an ccccntric Baptist min
lister cried out in a sleeping congregation, par
ticularly addressing one Of the members -
"Brother Thomas Smith, if you don't wake
up, shall call you out BY name"
Andrew Fuller, one Sabbath afternoon,
saw the people, during the singing Of the hymn
before sermon, composing themselves for
comfortable nap and, taking the Bible, he
beat isagainst the side Of the pulpit, making
great noise. Attention being excited, he
said, q am often afraid that preach YOU 90

Once upon time, far back in the remote

splendor, wearing upon his brow diadem of
living fire, while. from the gems with which it
was encrusted, flashed intolerable radiance.

sulphureous flames lighted up, while the lurl
smoke hung like canopy over the scene.
Then up rose Satan, born to rule, "dwelt
like star, apart" matchless in evil as in
power, and thus spake:
Princes and Poteptates, who do nv bid
ding who best serve me when most We thwart
the Almighty, listen! Yeknow that we have
tried our subtlest wiles upon the race of men.
But so hedged in are they by holy influences,
and watched over by good angels sent from
above, that we can scarcely destroy single
soul. Therefore, most noble chiefs, have
called you together, to take counsel of your
wisdom how we may best ruin mankind while
they dwell upon the earth, and most surely
afterwards bring them to this pit Of woe
Speak We. each bis mind, and to him who
shall give wisest counsel, and offer strongest
means to effect this. our royal purpose, will
give the dominion of the earth and a seat at
my right hand forever.
Thus spake the fend, and hell, to its in
most centre, resounded with applause.
Then up rose Moloch, ''horrid king, be-
smeared with blood of human sacrifice" and
spake: ooh chief of many throned powers,

% Reputation is SO tender a flower that
if once cropped or blasted, it is out of the
power of the most benign sun or genial show
ers to restore it to its original beauty. How
tender then should every one be not only Of
speaking, bat even Of encouraging the busy
tongues and malicious speeches of defamers'
for if defamation be murderess of the rep-
utation, as in the other murders, every by

Sit down, sad soul. and count
The moments fiyingI
Come-tell the sweet amount
That's lost by signing,
How many miles IA score.
Then laugh and count no more.
For day is dying.
Lie down, sal soul, and weep,
And no more measure
The fight of Time, nor weep
The loss of leisure;
But here, by this lone stream,
Lie down, with us, and dream
Of starry treasure
We dream do thou the same,
We love forever; =
We laugh, yet few we shame,
The gentle, never;
Stay, then till sorrow dies
Then hope and happy skies
Are thine forever!

DAYS GONE by.

The days gone by--'tis sad yet sweet,
To list the strain Of parted hours
To think Of those we loved to meet,
When children, mid thousand flowers
The scenes we roved--romantic--lone,
Ere yet our hearts had learned to sigh
The dream of glory once our own
In days gone by--in days gone by
The days gone by-Oh, is there not
A charm--a feeling in those words
A music meier to be forgot
Struck out from memorys sweetest chords
With many tone to wake tear d
And many thought we fain would fly
o. still to every heart are dear
The days gone blythe days gone by
The days gone by--they have spell
To burst the cerements of the grave
And from obliyion's deepest cell,
The forms we loved and lost--to save;
Time may not fade those locks of light
Still beautecus to the mental eye,
AS the first hour they blest our sight,
In days gone by--in days gone byl
The days gone by--Man's best essay
One fadeless work to leave behind
Before their mirth hath passed away,
Like dust upon the desert wind;
The very mountains have grown grey
And stars have vanished from the sky
The young-the fair--0h where are they2
With days gone by-with days gone by
The days gone by-from shore to shore
Their ever frightening shadows spread,
Onion till time shall breathe no more
And earth itself be with the dead
Each brief-unnoticed minute bears
The mandate of its God on high;
And death and silence are the heirs
OF days gone by--of days gone by,
