Mrs. Adams remarked to her father;

The old lady, my informant, looked
me very archly in the face, when she re-
peated this passage, and observed:
If Mary was the most dutiful daugh-

say they were respectively an honor to

While thus engaged in reflections, l
looked round upon the cedars that euclose
this ancient battle-ground on every side,
and said, Ye watchmen of this sacred
place, We are witnesses of this meditata-

no other kindred should come to shed a

may remove me, thy father, far away

who is the resurrection and the life, to

clothed in pure white robes, we shall
quickly enter into sweet conversation
concerning your redeeming Lord, as we
walk along the river of life, and over the
hills of fankincense, and on the mountains
of myrrh and where our love to each
other, to Christ our Head, and 10 all the
hosts of heaven, will continually increase
with our onward and upward march amid
scenes ever widening and Frightening in a
boundless eternity.
By this time the light of the rising sun
had chased the shadows from the sepul

off a small twig from the nearest cedar
whose branches extended over my little

for what | saw and felt.

THE GRAVE OF LITTLE JULIUS.
BY REV. JOHN LEHMAN.

After a long series OF severe trials and
dislrcsses, | set out with my three small
children, son and two daughters, to jour

travelled considerable distance, the son
fell sick, and we were obliged to stop.
This disease soon became alarming and
proved fatal, Notwithstanding our effort"
aud desire that he might live. He died,
and in much. grief of mind sat down
weeping and bemoaning him, and said,
O that it were not so How heavily
doth the hand of my. God press upon me !!
This thrice have | been bereaved and

Assisted by a few friends, we buried
him among strangers in strange land,
and continued 10 journey, in different di.

banks of the father of rivers in the great
West; having completed tour of two
thousand miles, and partly through for

while engaged in my Masters service,

These things made me long to see once
