SWEET raoUsHrs.

We often meet with selections Of sublime
and beautiful thoughts from the works Of msp
of genius. But there are thoughts suggest
ed BY the Bible infinitely more precious than
the choicest creations Of genius.
How sweet the thought that Jesus sympa-
thizes with all our joys and sorrowss Tha
great demand Of human nature is the demand
for sympathy. Men must have it. or they
cannot be happy, however extensive their
possessions or high their rank But how 1t
tie sympathy is to be found among men -
How precious the though: that our Savior
sympathizes with every joy and every sorrow,
Christians, do you sometimes feel that you
are alone. and that there are none who care
for you? You arc mistaken. You forget
that Jesus ia ever BY your side, that be ap-
proves every innocent smile, and notices eve,
ry falling tear. aud feels for you a love and
sympathy that no finite mind can measure. /,
How sweet the thought that God reiguA
The nations are perplexed and troubled, the
foundations Of the earth ere out Of course,
tue wisdom of the wise seems to DO Of no
avail, and the strong man is as child still
we can look upon the troubled scene without
fear, for God reigns. Amid oil the confu-
sion and uproar, bis counsel shall stand; and
he shall! do all his pleasure, Not only ia hs
Governor Of all nations. but he governs and
directs in all matters pertaining to our indi-
yidual interest Not hair Of our head falls
to the ground without bis notice, and the re-
sources Of omnipotence are pledged to cause
all things to work together for our good.
How sweet the thought that death is CO.
ing home! He who has been an exile 10 .
strange land, who has dwelt among people Of
a strange tongue, rejoices At the sight Of >
vessel which is to bear him to bis native
shores. where he shall! enter the patsrnal
mansion and receive the welcome Of loved
ones there. Death rightly viewed. is Nc
messenger who is to conduct us to our homo
in heaven, where our brethren who have Como
before us arc waiting to welcome US !; where
Jesus who has gone to prepare mansion for
US, is waiting to receive US. How sweet the
thought, in few years more, perhaps in .
few days, shall be safe in heaven!
Surely, with thoughts like these. for con-
slant themes of meditation, the Christian may
well obey the command Of the Apostle. Re
joice ever more, and again ! say rejoice -

WHAT WE OWE TO DECOKUM.


i will do as please says many head
strong young man, fol whose business is it. il
| choose to take the consequences Not so
fast, good sir If you knew more Of human
nature. you would be aware that you cannot
outrage even the small conventionalities Of
life. which are known under the common name
of decorum, without ipjuring your reputation,
estranging your friends. and preventing straDg-
ers who might be useful to you. from making
your acquaintance. But this is no. all
You have no right to disregard decorum, for
the consequences roach others than yourself.
Your example is always doing harm. when il
is not doing good. Your conduct affects the
standing Of your family and associates as we'll
as yourself Going through life is like tired
ing labyrinth offspring guns. lfyou follow
the beaten track, you are yourself safe. But
it you diverge to the right or left. your iudis-
erection is sure to irjure yourself, and may
harm others also. A wise man never outra-
ges decorum, recklessly violates prejudices.
or thoughslessly acts regardless Of the opin-
iors Of the world.

There arc many stratagems in war, and -
many. j. may be well said, In love as war.
A young man of Nurcmburg, who bad no
fortune, requested lawyer. friend. to re-
commend him to a family whe re be was dali
" visitor. and where was handsome daugh-
ter who was to have large fortune.
The lawyer agreed. But the father Of the
young lady, who loved money, Immediately
asked what property tho young man had,
The lawyer said he did not exactly know. but
be would inquire.
The next tune be saw bis friend, ho asked
him if be bad any property at all.
No, replied be. M f,
Well said the lawyer, would you safer

No.
IT'S WELL replyed the lawyer. 4 bad res
sons for asking. , !,
The next time he saw the girls father, he
said, i have inquired about the young man

money. but be has . jewel, for which to my

This induced the old man to consent to tbe

sKErCH.--By Undine.
"Smooth the hair and close the eyelids,
Let the window-curtain fall,
With smile upon her features,
She hath answered to the call.
Let the children kiss her gently,
AS she lies upon the bed,
G I'd hath called her to his bosom,
And the little one is dead"
Through the half. open easement Of q neat
little cottage, shaded BY trees, the beams Of
the sun cautiously enter, aud disclose to view
the inanilnate form Of one loved too well in
life, dearer still to me in death. Clothed in
her neat little dress, her thin, fair locks combed
smoothly down over her white waxen brow
calmly at last lies Minnie, in deaths cold
embrace. BY the side CT the little one,
kneels the young and heart broken mother,
striving with vain sobs and useless wailiugs
to restore her again to herself. She recounts
again and again. those dark, lonesome nights
and days, when fever and delirium racked
that little Frame. she saw her again tossing
restlessly to, and fro on her couch Of pain, and
she rcpined against her God, who had gwen
her the beautiful pearl the casket once con-
tanned. Then came thoughts of the last sad
parting the quick. stiAed breathing. the
heavy groan, and the many. many longings
for the morning, all rings again in her ears.
Then appeared the Angel of Mercy, ard
touched her with her wand, aud involuntarily
arises che prayer, Not my will, but thine,
oh, Lord, be done." She rises, and taking
the little hand within her own, imprinting a
kiss on the marble brow. leaves little Minnie
alone with the bright and beautiful suubcams.
Come with me to the garden of the dead,
at that still hour when the pale moon looks
forth, and the stars keep watch DER earth,
and | Will show you the spot where that cher
ished form lies. And if you ask that, "Is it
well with the child p she will tell you, at is
