In selecting a place for a residence, we

the temperance reformation, when openness
ofpurpose and union Of effort was more need

a position which a few years since was deemed
the height of fanaticism to speak Of. Poll

made to them. Editors of paper. VINO used

and openly desecrats the halls of legislation
by their drunken orgies, are now found miss

Trust in God.

One beautiful evening in summer a car
riage drove up to a village inn. A stranger
stepped out and directed the landlord to pre-.
pare him o supper, and also to feed his horse.
The last rays of the setting sun were visible
on the feecy clouds, and on the vane of an
Anticipated church, which stood on the e,-
posite side of the way. The stranger looked
about him for a few moments, and then direc.
ted his steps to the church, that he might
mediate, while the landlord was fulfilling his
directions.
He entered the gate which opened into the
graveyard, and walking around, he viewed
the grassy beds, beneath which the sons of
other years lay silently resting from want
and toll and pain. While he was reading
the various inscriptions on the tombstoues.
his attention was drawn to a corner of the
yard by the sobs of a child. He went imme-
rem sat, weeping upon a newly made grave.
A piece of hard bread was between them
The stranger, being sensible to the sorrows
of others, sat dow upon the grave, and in
uuired into the cause of their distress. The
little boy, whose name was Henry, began to
tell him that his sister Mary was naughty,
and would not eat the piece Of bread which
he had begged for her. She interrupted her
brother here, and told the man that she had
eaten some bread yesterday, but her brother
had eaten none since the day before, and she
wanted him to eat this.
The boy then proceeded to tell the stran
ger, that about a year ago his father left the
village and went to sea, and that in a storm
he was drowned. And poor mother cried 81
hard, and said that she must soon die too
but that we must love each other, and Coz
would be our Father. She called US to he
bedside, kissed us both, and then died. Nov
we have no mother but we have come t
her grave to see if we can find our Father
Mother said he was in heaven. Can you tel
us, sir, where our Heavenly Father can b
found?
The stranger listened to the tale of sorro1
until his eyes were filed with tears, and h
was moved with compassion for the wanderer
He exclaimed, as he rose from the grav'
Come with me my children. God will b
your Father. He has, no doubt, sent m
here this night to befriend you
He took them to the inn, and had thel
provided for until he returned home. The
they were received into the bosom of his fan
lily, where they were well fed, clothed, ar
instructed and the stranger, in his declinir
years, witnessed them useful and pious meI
bers of society. His hospitality was rewa
ded an hundred fold.
Let all the children who may hear abo
Henry and Mary, put their trust in God, al
he will raise up friends for them when the
fathers and mothers die. Let parents
struct their children in the knowledge
Christ, then when death shall make them
phans, they may find a Father in heaven.

The Man with an Opinion.

This strange creature belongs to the Buns
by tribe. He makes it a point to have a de-
cided opinion on every subject he hears, and
which he never changes, be the evidences of
absurdity what they may. He does not wear
his opinion as his coat, to be changed when
ever he can become possessed of a better one,
but he clings to it, t~hreadbare and fimsy as
it may be, and argues Justify that if his opin-
;a 10 net new, it is, TO say the least, sound
and good. He is forced to this course lest
be lose his character as an opinionated man
one thinking for himself.
We like to see men self-relying, but the
BOBBY class we have at cur nib, we regard as
a nuisance to society. To differ with the
opinionated man, is only to subject yourself
to his rude impertinence. He is so confident
of his immaculate opinion that he monopoli-
yes the conversational liberties of a whole
party. unless an adroit and caustic hit brings
him to his wits end.
lie has taught himself that there is a dis
grace attached to changing an opinion
glaring and cowardly inconsistency; while
sensible men believe that a tenacious adhe-
renee to a formed opinion is one of the most
stupid and inconsistent of modern or ancient
ethics. Had all men belonged to the opin-
donated genus, the world would have been
in a sad state of barbarity but thanks to a
liberal spirit, the great body of mankind ii
