dark room. under the care of a skiilful physician,
who cons ulted able counsel. He continued worse
for two months. when he became entirely blind.
His eyes were SO highly i~nflamed, aud so very
sensitive that, when covered with seven falds of
dark silk, he would scream with pain caused BY
the light OF a candle. He ha.. no appe,ite-had
taken so much powerful aud offensive meticine
that l could neither coax nur force him to take
more He was reduced to a mere skeleton, and /
despaired oil ever returning his sight or health
About that time. ! saw ybur Invaluable. medi.

three weeks. He then began to improve rar;.lly.
and before he had taken another bottle his eyes
were completely cured.

DESTROY 1T NOT.

Some years ago, says the Rev. William
Jay, had in my garden tree that never
bore. One day was going down with my
axe in my hand to fell il; my wife met me
in the pathway, and pleaded for it, saying
why, the spring is Row very near; stay,
and see whether there may not be some
change; and if not. you can deal with it &c
cordingly."
As had never repentod following her adj
vice. yielded to it now; and what was the
consequence In afsw weeks the tree was
covered with blossoas. and In few weeks
more it was bending with fruit. All said l..
this should teach me; will learn lesson
from berce not to cut down to soon; that is,
not to consider persons incorrig.ble or aban-
doned too soon, so as to give up hope, and
the use Of means and prayer in their behalf.

THE ART OF THINKING.

One of the best modes Of improving in the
art Of thinking is to think over some subject
before you read upon it. aud TO observe in
what manner it occurred to the mind Of some
great master; you will then observe wheth-
err you have been too rash or timid what
YOU have omitted and what you have exceed

be led TO the general truth. This kind Of
understanding has an immense and decided
superiority over those confused beads in which
one fact is piled upon another. without the
least attempt at classification aud arrange
mept. Some men always read With pen in
their hand. and commit to paper any new
thought which strikes them others trust to
chance for its re appearance. Which ofthese

Well meet again. how sweet the word
How soothing is its sound
Like strains Of far-of music heard
On some enchanted ground.
Well meet again, thus friendship speaks
When those most dear depart,
Aud in the pleasing prospect seeks
Balm for the bleeding heart.
Well meet again, the lover cries
And oh What thought but this
Can eer assuage the agonies
OF the last parting kissl
Well meet again, are accents heard
Beside the dying bed,
When all the soul by grief is stir'd,
And bitter tears are she'd
Well meet again, are words that cheer
While bending Ger the tomb;
For oh ! that hope, 50 bright and dear,
Can pierce its deepest gloom.
Well meet again, then cease to weep,
Whatever may divide,
Not time, nor death can always keep
The loved ones from our side
For in the mansions Of the blest,
Secure from care and pain,
In heavens serene and endless rest
Well surely meet again.

AT HOME IN THE EVENING,

One Of the grossest neglects Of youth pro-
ducing incalculable mischief and ruin in the
spending Of his evenings. Darkness is temp
tation to misconduct suffering the young to
be out when the light of day does not restrain
them from misconduct, is training them to it.
We have already an abundant harvest of this
seeding. Riots, mobs, crimes giving fearful
forebodings, are the results of youth becoming
fit agents of outrage, by Running uncared for
in the evenings. What we see in these re-
spects is deplorable cnough-but what is this
compared with what we do not see multi
tudes making themselves miserable and nox-
ious to the world, and what is that to come
to2 Parents should look at the truth, that
evening pleasures and recreations are often
dearly purchased-the price of their own inn
paired comfort and the blighted prospects Of
their offspring. 1t must be obvious that in
this matter there can be no prescripted rule.
There can be no interdict of all the evening
recreations and imployments, yet there is an
evil not only destructive to youth, but plant
ing thorns IN many paths, and covering many
lives with desolation. The information de-
nianded must proceed from judgment and con-
scicnce-must be enlightened. Heads Of
families must learn that the place on earth
best adapted to be blessing, is hone and
by example and wholesome restraint they must
teach this example to all under them. Es-
pecially should home, during the Sabbath
hours be consecrated. Sabbath mornings and
evenings are blessed indeed, when they gather
the family into the circle of convers and in
struction, and parents and children, masters
and apprentices, and servants, in his presence
and by the grace of God, who has made them
and placed them in their respective stations,
raise themselves to the exalted level of the
truth and they are invested with capacity
and obligation in their respective condition
assigned them by an all-wise Providence, to
help each other onward to honor, glory and
immortality-eternal life.
