| BEAUTIFUL THouGHTs.-God has
sent some angels into the world whose
office is to refresh the sorrow of the
poor, and to tighten the eyes of dis
consulate. And what greater pleasure
can we have than that the tongue
should be turned with heavenly ac-
vents, andsmake the weary soul listen
for light and ease and when lie per
ceives that there is such thing in the
world, and in the order Of things, az
comfort and joy, to begin to break out
from the prison Of his sorrows at the
door Of signs and tears and by little
and little begin to melt into showers
and refreshment-this is glory to the
voice, and employment fit for the
brightest angel. have seen the sun
dissolve the frozen earth, which was
bound up with the images Of death
and the colder breath Of the north,
and the waters break from their enclo-
snres, and melt with joy and run in
useful channels and the flies do rise
from little graves in the walls, and
dance little while in the air to tell
that joy is within, and that the great
mother of creatuges yill open the stock
as her new refreshments, become use
FIJI to mankind and sing praises to her
Redeemer. SO is the heart Of sor-
towful man under the discourse of
wise comfort : he breakes from the des-
pair Of the grave, and the letters and
chains Of sorrow he blesess God, ard
He blesses thee; and he feels his life
returning.
