Holy Life:

The beauty OF holy life constitutes most

10 our fellow creatures, but none SO enicaci.
Gus as leading virluous, upright, and well
ordered life. There is an energy of moral
suasion in good mans life, passing The
highest efforts Of the orators genius. The
seen, but silent beauty of holiness speak
more eloquenty of God, and duty, than the
tongues of men aud angels. Let paren q re.
member this.-The bes, inheritance parent
can bequath to a child is virtuous example

Citations. The beauty OF holiness, beamins
through the life Of loved relative or friend
Is more efIecluRl to strengthen such as d,
stand in virtues ways, un raise up thos,
that arc bowed, than precept commands
entreaty or warning. Christianity itself,
believe, owes by far the greater part of it,
moral power, not 10 the procepts or parable,
Of Christ, but to his character. The beaul,
Of that holiness which Is enshrned in Tho
four brief biographies Of the Man of Ma
zareth, has done more, and will do nore
to regenerate the world, and bring it to al
everlasting righteousness, than all othe

SABBATH: READING.
Life, Death and Eternity.

What is life! a thread, easily broken. a
flower that springeth up to-day, and to-mor-
row is cut down and withered.-A vapor that
soon passes away. II is cheqrered with
cares, dsaprointments,j joys, sorrows perplex-
tiles, envies, hopes, fears, comforts, pleasures
shades, and sunshine. A state in which
every act, word or thought, affects the soul,
sinking it toward the world Of wo, or elevating
it to the joys of paradise. The time to re-
fleet, a resolve, to act, to repent OF sins COM
mitted; the time for faith in Christie re.
ceive His salvation-to escape hcll-to win
heaven.
And what is desthl 1t is the opening Of
eyes. Before death the soul sees Gas through
a glass darkly, now face to face" The en-
trance door to he aven and he'll. To the fol-
lower of Christ, the end OF sorrow, care and
pain; the beginning of purity, holiness, bles-
sedness. But to the soul unrcgc cgcnerated-the
book Of life with the sins of the soul uncan-
celled. The end of hope, the near approach
of wo.
And what is eternity7 1t is the age OF
God, and it is the age of the deathess soul
in which it will live in happiness or wo

what before was the filth of Peter as

A Test Of Christianity.

Christian gentleman had occasion TO ira
vel through a newly and thinly settled part
of the Western country; his companion was
a man of intelligence, but inlidcl principles
who was fond of discussion and tried to be-
guile the way by urging arguments against
truth OF the Christian religion. The thnly
peopled section OF the country through which
they were passing was inhabited by people
of bad reputoton, and it had been rumorcd
that travc lers had suffered fatal volrncn from
them when they we're within their power.
As taverns were unknown. our travellers
were compelled to trust to the hospitality o!
those of whom they could not but entertain
II serious fear. On one occasion as tho eve
ming closed in, they sought lodging place
in og-cabin, far remote from other habta-
tons. They anticipated but little comfort,
and were induced to believe that it would be
n measure of safety to watch alternately
through the night.
AS they were about to retire to their bed
their host, whose exterior had excited their
distrust, proceeding to SHELF took down an
old g. much worn out Bhle, and informed his
visitors that it was his custom to worsl ip
simple manner as to secure the esteem o
the travellers. They retired to rest, sept
soundy, and thought no more OF alternat,
watching.
In the morning the Christian requested hi
infdel companion 10 say whether tho relg'
ous exercises Of the preceding evening
had not dspeled every particle of dis,rus
oftheir hosts character, aud had not enabled
him to close his eyes in the most confiden
security.
lie was evidently embarrassed by the qucs
,ion; but ut last he candidly acknowledge
that the sight of tie Bible had secured hin
sound nights rest. Here was testmon
extorteG from an nfdel in favor of the in
fuence OF religion which he skep,iraly assai
ed. lie could not harbor toar of vlolenc
from one who was in the habit of bcndn
his knee before God. The very creation ,
the family altar, rendered the house a secur
asylum. Who would not be Cnri5tian
Who can be al !Efdel!
