The Infant in Heaven.

DIR. Chalmers furnishes the following
touching expressions of his opinion on
tic subject Of infant salvation. 1t is ex-
pressed in strong and beautiful Ian
gnage:
This affords, We think, something more
than dubious glimpse into the question
that Is ottom put by distracted mother
when her babe is taken awat from her;
when all the converse it ever had with
the world amounted to the gaze upon it
OF a lew months or few opening smiles,
which marked the dawn of self.enioy-
menl; and ere it had reached, perhaps,
the lisp Of infancy, it, all unconscious of
death, had to wrcstle through period of
sickness with its power, and at length be
overcome 10y it.
"Oh, 1t little knew what an interest it
had created in that home where it was so
passing vIsitant, nor when carried to its
early grave what a tide Of emotions it
would RAISE among the few acquaintances
1t left behind, There was no positive be-
l'et IN It's bosom; no love at all for the
darkness rather than light, nor had it yet
fallen into that great condemnation which
will attach itself to AL that perish, because
OF unbcief, that their deeds are evil.
NV hen we couple with this the known
disposition of our great Forcruuncr-the
love that lie manifested for children upon
earth; how lie suffered them TO approach
Ills person, and lavishcd endearments and
Kindness upon them in Jerusalem; told
the disciples that the presence and COM
pany of such as these, in heaven, formed
one ingredient Of JOY that was set before
hIm-tIl us if Christianity does not
throw pleasing radiance round an in
| ianls tomb! And should any parent
ing remembrance Of n light -tuatie,., ,auah
few short months under his roof, and at
the end OF this little period expired, we
cannot think we venture too far when we
sap he is only to pcrsevere in the faith
and in the following of the Gospel, and
that very light will again shine upon him
in heaven.
'Ihe blossom which withered here up
on its stalk has been transpanted there to
place OF endurance; and it will then
gladden. the eye which now wceps out the
! agony Of affection that has been sorely
wounded. And in tie name of Him who,
II on earth, would have wept with them,
do We hid all believers present to sorrow
, not even Us those which have no hope,
but to take comfort in the thought Of that
country where there is no sorrow and no
separation.
"And when mother meets on high
The babe she lost in infancy,
Hath she not then. for pains and tears,
The days of woe, the watchful night,
For all her sorrows, all her tears,
An overpaymcnt of delight"

The Conjugating Dutchman.

Two English gentlemen once stepped
into n coffee honse in Pers, where they
observed tall, odd.looking man, who ap-
peared not to be a native at one of the ta-
bles, and looking around with the most
stone like gravity Of countenance upon ev-
cry object. Soon after the two English
men entered one Of them told the other
that certain dwarf had arrived in Paris.
At this the grave looking parsonage above
mentioned opened his mouth and spalie ::
Il arrive, thou arrivest, he arrives, We
arrive, you arrive, they arrive"
The Englishman. whose remark seemed
to have suggested this mysterious speech,
stepped up 10 the stranger and asked -
"did you speak to me sir ?"
81 speak" replied the stranger, L" thou
speakest he speaks, We speak, you spcal;
they speak"
"lIow is this?" said the Engishman, -
"Io you mean to insult me :"
The other replied, II insult, thou insul-
test, he insults, we insult, YOU insult, they
insult"
This is too much" said the English
man, 81 will have satisfaction if you have
any spirit with your rudcness, come along
with me"
To this defiance the iInpeturable stran-
ger replied

come you come they Gomez" and thereup-
on lie arose with great GOODNESS, and fol-
lowed his challenger In those days.
when every gentleman wore sword, du-
els were speedily despatched.
They went into ncighboring alley land

said to his antagonist

The other replied, drawing his sword

time became ineligible.

Help your Ministers.

You are to help your minister by dis
tinct efforts of your own TO lead the i'm
pene,ent to Christ. Not only are you to
pray earnestly for them, to hold them as
burden upon your heart in communion
with God, t. feel that YOU cannot be de-
MED them, to follow with suppiications ev-
cry public address to them saying fervent-
ly, Amen" to each appeal Of preached
gospel, but you are to go farther. You
are to seek them out, to take hold ofthem,
to converse with them, to be very kind, -
very urgent, very tender and very perse-
vering. lfyou find one of them serious,
you are to follow him up, 10 give iiita no
rest---like that devoted servant of Cod
Harlan Page-to keep on his track day
and night, to allow the world no oppor
tunity to get new hold the feelings no
time to subSide, the seriousness no space
for dissipation, to help the spirit and the
truth lead the soul into the kingdom.
In this way, can you be if you will, an
if God bless you, most effectual helpers of
his servant and yours, who stands before
you as your religious teacher and guide.
Now, not to go further in specifying modes
in which you may co operate with your
pastor, and help on in the cause Of Christ
let me ask you as if addressing you one
by one, what you say so far Will you
take up, you have not, all these activi-
ties Of serving God, and advancing Chust's
kingdom aud glory p Congregationalist.
