DIscRAcsyrL.---We learn that M old
man died at Hanging Rock last week,
who had a son residing in this pace, and
another at Portsmouth, who had both
sadly neglected him, and refused TO Mt.
tend TO his burial. Ono Of them who
resides in Portsmouth, was with the oil
man al the time of his death, and left
the body as the soul dcpor'ed, with the
intention Of going home. While he was
watching for boat, some orthc citizens
ascertained III fact, and by loae Of
persuasion, and threats Of making an
exomplc Of him, compelled him 10 stay
and attend to the burial Of tho corpse.
The other one residing here, stayed en-.
lirely away. Such instances Of entire
want Of gratitude, or natural affection,
are very rare, and we are sorry tn It it is
necessary to record this, yet, for The
name Of humanity, such individuals de.
serve TO be Stunned by every true man.

a DARK cloud of sorrow was oyerhanoin0
happy home, for beloved one seemed To-
be drawing near the gates of death. Ono
who had wept, and prayed, and labored for
the heather, seemed about to exchange his
sighs and prayers for JOY and peace. With :
heart full OF anguish, she who is ever the
stricken one in such scenes at this, sought
the dear orphan, under her charge, to tell
them of her sorrows. Sobs and tears were
the only answer to the few hurried words in
which she acquainted them with her hus-
bands danger. And well might those young
heads be bowed in grief; for one who had
watched over them with fathers tender So
licitude was about to be taken from their
midst. Silently and sadly passed their even
ing meal, and then, of their own accord, they
gathered to relieve their full hearts by pray
er. That they were pleading for their be-
loved friend, we knew; and as the earnest
tones of supplcaton, and the plaintive sub
dued strains of their hymns of praise fell up
on the ear, they seemed sweeter far than
Eolian music. And now their season of
prayer was over. They had cast their bur-
den of grief on an Almighty arm, and their
hearts were lighter, and their tones moro
cheerful than before. A hope was inspired
that God had heard their prayers, and that
even then the work Of healing had COM
menced. Quietly the doors were opened
which communicated with the apartment
where he for whom their petition had just
been ascending was reclining on his couch.
Noiselessly, and, as they thought, unobserved
one by one they stole through the passage,
that they might obtain one glance of his dear
face When they saw his animated coun-
tenance, and heard the cheerful tones of his
voice, (for he spoke of Jesus and of heaven,
although in language foreign to them,)
they were satisfied and left as quietly, as
they came. ..'....,
The danger seemed for the present to have
passed, but the angel of death was lowering
near, although we knew it not. Another
day was passed in sweet intercourse with a
soul just on the confines Of heayenS once
more was he permitted to gather the child
rem of his love around him and speak to
them of death, and preparation for it, and
then, as if our desires and prayers could no
longer detain that immortal spirit struggling
to be free, he-was taken to his home above.
Who can say that their day was not ad-
ded to his life, in answer to the united sup
plication of our dear orphan girls 9-Foreign

Who does not love to watch a sun set or
to linger at the open door, or beside the
window, as the retiring orb bids good night,
to us first, and then to the tree-tops, and
lastly to those blue hills whose submits hold
his purple light as if it We're hard to partl
1t Is a holy hour when day-sounds die,
and night begins. An hour for thought
A time to ask ourselves if we, in gaily life,
are filling our allotted sphere rs faithfully as
Gods insensible creatures fill theirs.
The sunlight comes with gift for ALL
There is golden shower for the forest
warm glow for the quiet vale, kiss for the
brooks and rivers, and a bright blaze in
oceans depths, and in all the world there is
found no spot so utterly desolate as not to
receive share of his life-giving power.
Not thus selfishly do human hands be-
stow their bountics. Too often we give the
glad smile and warm hands to those who
would be happy without them, while we
withhold them when, if fproffered, they might
strike a spring of feeling in the hearts de-
sert. .eF
Do not wait for opportunities to do good2
They are before us. They meet us wherever
we turn. They come, not often in loud calls
that cannot be resisted, but in silent appeals
to which it would be well to teach our hearts
to listen. ~
Every tear is an appeal to our sympathy.
Every struggling smile that would fain COW
er secret sorrow, speaks still more earnest
ly. Every look of love asks for a return
and even the burning words of anger and
reproach should appeal to our Christianity,
and lead us to pity and forgive.
Earth is full of suffering. There are trials
in the life of the young that wither the
spirits freshness, and leave a.blight for after
years. The old have careworn chanels
whose hollowness might be filled from the
fountain Of love and affection. Are all
