Temptations Necessary to Saliva
ton.

Every person who is in the habit of ma
king any distinction between right and
wrong finds himself daily placed under cir
cumstances in which his natural affections,
or natural mind, prompt him to course
of conduct which is opposed by his sense
of duty, or those more spiritual principles
which constitute his spiritual mind. Thus
a contest is produced between what is good
and true in man, and what is evil and false.
This contest, or combat is temptation.
1t is by overcoming evil with good in
time of temptation, that the natural man
is subdued; and, in proportion as the nat
ural man is subdued, the spiritual man is
formed-the kingdom Of Heaven is estab-
lished within MS. But when We suffer the
evil affections by which we are enticed 10
prevail over the purer dictates of conscience,
our natural, unregenerate mind gains vic
tory-tbe Holy Spirit is grieved away
evil is exalted within us, and good is abu-
sed.
From this simple statement it may be
seen that there is q constant warfare car

Cod of the rolling year! to Thee
Our song shall rise, whose bounty pours,
I, many goodly gift, with free
And liberal band, our autumn stores,
No fretings of our flock we slay,
No soaring clouds of incense rise,
bnt on Thy hal'owed shrine we Law
Our grateful hearts in sacrifice.
Borne on Thy breath, the lap of spring
Was heaped with many blooming flower
And smiling summer joyed to bring
The sunshine and the gentle shower
And autumn's rich luxuriance now,
The ripening seed, the bursting she'll,
The golden sheaf and laden bough,
The fulness of Thy bounty tell.
No mental throng, in princely dome,
Here wait titled lords behest,
But many fair and peaceful home
Hath won Thy peaceful dove guest;
No groves or palm our fields adorn,
No myrtle shades or orange bowers,
But rust'ing meads of golden corn,
And fields OF waving grain, are ours.
Safe in Thy care the landscape DER,
Our focks and herds securely stray,
No Wrant master claims our store,
No ruthless robber rends away;
No fierce volcanoes whitening shower,
No fell simeon, with poisonous breath,
ID burning suns, with hateful power,
Awake the fiery plaques of death.
Anil here shall rise our song to Thee,
Where heightened vale and pastures lie,
And streams 60 singing wild and free,
Beneath b'ue and smiling sky;
Where ne'er was reared mortal throne,
Where cowned oppressors never trod,
ere, at the throne OF Heaven a'one,
Shall man in reverence bow 10 God.

FILIAL DEvoToN UNDER DIFFICULTIES
A singular exhibition of filial affection
lately transpired in Detroit. A man ma
med Stevenson and his mother, an old wo
man, were convicted, he of stealing, and
she of secreting the stolen property, and
they were sentenced for five years each, te
States Prison. When the mother had re-
ceived her sentence, the son arose and of
fered to serve out both terms of punish
ment, if the Court would release his pa
rent! Of course, the Court had no sucl
discretion, but it was touching evidence
of the strength of child's love-that this
young criminal was not so hardened, ever
by the almost irresistible example of a
mothers guilty course, but that he still
felt the power of the mystery bond at
taching him to mother. That boy could
not have been all bad, and it is question
for philanthropists whether his five years
association with thieves and ruffians will i'm
prove his moral condition,or quench in him
entirely, the better portions of his nature

Loss OF THE ARcTIc.-Such calamity,
sending weeping and desolation into two
hemispherAs-so wide spread is it-shows
more perfectly than anything else can the
utter vanity of all things human. People
had come to take berth in Collins steam
er with as much aaoncholance as they would
60 to bed. The vessel was believed to be
proof against danger and the heart of man
swelled within him as a secret feeling stole
into his heart and kindled its pride. "By
my hand and wisdom has all this come to
pass" 1t was unseen by every eye save
one-that noted the folly. The steamer
is dashed to pieces almot as though she
were but a cooked shell, and hurled be-
meath the waves. There was safely, thew
vainly thought, who trod her decks, in her
solid hull and massive bulwarks. Their
foothol1 and defence was swept from be-
meath their feet and then there was no safe
ty but in Con.
Death is great leveler--he is perfect
Republican, in the absolute sense. There
Is no difference in one more than in anoth-
er in all his dark and wide domain. There
were women on board that ship who would
scarcely step their foot upon the ground
for very daintiness, but their beauty and
accomplishments las much of frippery is
termed) could serve no purpose above the
very same qualities in the meanest serving
girl. There were men of wealth there, but
they might have piled ingots of gold al
high as did the Inca before the bloody
Spaniard in vain to purchase for themselves
particle of difference from the sooty fire
man whom the naughty millionaire would
scarcely have deigned to sit upon. And
the same is true if we look to their hereaf
ter. There was the Due de Grammont OF
board with almost royal blood running in
his veins and tracing his ancestry bacl
through dazzling line of nobility. Who
will remember him hundred years hence
Yet the simple Shepherd of Salisbury
Plain will be spoken of and blessings heap
ed upon his life and deeds. - Detroi

fare between the flesh and the spirit-evil
and good-hell and Heaven: that upor
the daily results of these combats depends
our advancement towards Heaven or hell
and that upon the final triumph of good OF
evil IN the mind, will depend our eternal
state OF happiness or misery. 1t is, there
fore matter of solemn concern. that we
be not overcome with evil, but overcome
evil with good.
The Psalms, and many other parts Of
Scripture, abound with language which
teaches us to desire and pray that the Lord
would conquer our enemies. The texts
having this meaning are SO numerous. and
must be so familiar to all, that they need
not be repeated. They all relate to deli
verance from spiritual enemies; and thew
abundantly teach that it is the Lord alone
who can deliver us; that whenever we
trust to ourselves, and confde in our own
ability to think, and intend, and do, what
IS right, we are sure to be deceived, and
fall under temptation Whenever, there
fore, we find this combat going on in our
minds, 1T is our duty to deny ourselves and
take up our cross; to decide against the
suggestions and devices of the carnal mind
and to obey sincerely and fully those in
ternal dictates which are given by the Spi-
rit of God. We should, however, at all
times remember, that even when we de.
eide on what is right, we are in danger Of
giving ourselves credit for it, instead Of ac-
knowledging the decision to be from the
Lord. In this way we rob God of the glo-
ry due to His name, and are guilty of no
noring Him with our lips, or by an exter-
nal conformity, to His will, while our hearts
are far from Him. In such case, we dc
not permit the Lord to overcome our evil
He is not exalted in the mind, but we ex.
alt ourselves. We are never conouerors in
any temptation, except when we acknowl
edge with real sincerity that every right
principle within us is from the Lord Jesus
Christ, and that all which properly belongs
to ourselves is evil. We are never really
and permanently delivered from any evil
except when we can say, after the combat
in our minds, Thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory.
