amid the vociferous plaudits of thousands, or
hundreds of thousads, to retain ones self

even of the powerfully minded, have failed
when popular applause, that sun whose stroke
so often is madness, has centered Its rays
upon them. Edward Irving, was no ordinary

eulogium on this freest, brother liest, bra

to his force and healthiness, tells us also
that he swallowed the intoxicating poison Of

Is he resigned? Was he sensible? are in
quiries which we sometimes hear made in re-
gard to dying Or deceased persons. An affir-
native answer appears to be entirely satisfac-
tory to many of the inquirers; as if, in the
fact indicated by such reply, there was
something equivalent to suitable preparation
for death. We invite attention to the
following wise and faithful words, which, if
ponderd, mi GIT do much to impart more correct
modes of thought and expression in regard to
this momentous topic.
Reader, until [ see conversion and faith in
Christ, cannot and dare not feel satisfied
about dying mans soul Others may feel
satisfied il they please, and say after their
their friends death, they hope he has gone to
heaven. For my part, would rather hold
my tongue, aud say nothing. l would be
content with the last measure Of repentance
and faith in dying man, even though it were
no bigger than grain Of mustard seed i; but
to be content with anything less than repent
ance aud faith, seems to me next door to
infdelity. Reader what kind of evidence
do you mean to leave behind as to the state
of your soul ? Lay to heart what | have
been saying, and you will do well When
VIC have carried you to your narrow bed, let
us not have to hunt up stray words and scraps
of religion, in order to make out that you
were true believer. Let US not have to say
in hesitating way to another, Il trust he
is happy, he talked SO nicely one day, and he
seemed so pleased with chapter in the Bible
on another occasion, and he liked such per
son, who is good man. OH let us be
able to speak decidedly as to your condition
Let US have some standing proof as to you
penitence, your faith, and holiness, that non'
shall be able for moment to question you
state.
Reader depend on it, without this, thos
you leave behind can feel no solid comfor
about your soul. We may use the form o
religion at your burial, and express charitabl
hopes. We may meet you at the churc
yard gate and say, Blessed are the dea
who die in the Lord. "--but this will not alte
your condition. If you die without CONVEX
sion to God-witnout repentance-and witt
out faith in christ-your funeral will only
the funeral Of lost soul.-Reo. j. r. Ryl

MY Husband.

My husband is very strange man. To
think how he should have grown SO provoked
about such little matter as that scarlet scarf
Well, there's no use trying to drive him, I've
settled that 10 my mind. But he can be coax
ed-can't he though !-and from this time
hcnceforth, shan't know how to manage him I?
Still, there's no denying, Mr.. Adams is very
strange man.

Henry, | must have one of those ten dol

"Ten dollars don't grow on every bush, Ad-
aline; and just now times are pretty hard,
you know" he answered, in a dry, careless
kind of tone, which irritatcd me greatly
Besides that, knew he could afford to get me
the scarf just as well as not; only, perhaps
my manner of requesting it did not quite
suit his lordship.
"Gontlemen who can afford to buy satin
vests at ten dollars apiece, can have no motive
but penuriousness for Directing to give thcil
wives as much for a scarf" [ retorted, as

Che Social Circle.
True Greatness Superior to
Vanity.

dulLy'
Second-rate men may easily be ruined by
excess of praise. A little circle of fatterers
is often the most fatal barrier to the intellect
ual growth Of the preacher, the lawyer, or
the poet. But minds of loftier mould rise
superior to such effeminate influences, as
Ulysses resisted all the fascinating sorceries
Of Circe. The following extract, from the
Lite Of Chalmers, by that prince of biogra-
piers, Peter Bayne, shows how little the
Scottish preacher was affected by his wonder
full popularity:
On the day after his arrival in London,
he preached in Surry Chapel. The service
began at eleven; at seven in the morning the
place was filled. At length Chalmers ascends
the pulpit. and all eyes are centercd there
The sermon begins. The face Of the preacher
has certain heavy look, over its pale, rough
hewn, eonine lineaments; his eyelids droop
slightly, and his eyes have something at once
dreamy and sad in their expression; bis voice
is thin, somewhat broken, unimprcssive; his
tone may be called drawing, and his dialect
is broadly, almost unintclligibly provincial.
The London audience sits cool and business.

customed to moral essays; eye meets eye in

mers is beginning to move; he gradually
works himself into the heart of his subject :;
his voice is becoming loud, rich, impassioned ;
the Londoners sit still unmoved, but now no
eyes are wandering; the preacher warns, the
latent heat within is beginning to be evolved !;
he curbs his spirit s.ernly, but it will bear
him away his auditors are silent, conscious
ness OF some strange enchanting power begins
to pervade the place, but the light in the thou
sand eyes fixed on Chalmers is still in q
great measure that of criticism the London
srs still know where they are; the orator
warns swiftly to white heat his face is radi-
ept with oarnestness the dstendng eye-baIl
swims at last the fire within lights in it that
wondrous watery CLEAN which tells that the
spirit OF Chalmers is in the last passion and
agony of its might; his audience have for.

simultaneous assent to his every paragraph

his eloquence.

gayest in the land crowd to hear him. All

lords desire to be introduced to him; the lord

Watch, Watch, Mother.

Mother! watch the little feet,
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall,
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs,
Little feet will go astray,
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother watch the little hand,
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay,
Never dare the question ask,
"Why to ME this weary task y"
These same little hands may prove,
Messengers Of light and love.
Mother watch the little tongue,
Prattling eloquent and wild,
What is said and what is sung,
By the happy, joyous child.
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Catch the VOW before tits broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in Savior's name.
Mother ! watch the little heart,
Beating soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, oh, keep that young heart true,
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripeniug for eternity.
