clasping him in her arms, exclaimed,-
WiNian, my son, my dearest boy!' and
we all wept together. And there stood
the lovely, the. pious, the beautiful Ellen,
rejoicing in silence and in tears. 1t was
really an affecting scene. 4aa.
They had received my letter, had start
ed at once for the west, had hurried on
with the greatest anxiety, fearing II ey

they had just arrived in time to behold
him dedicated to the service of God.
William and Ellen have long since be-
come one, and are happy and useful men,
bers of the Church of Christ. And
should this little narrative fall into their
hands, they will excuse the freedom that
has been taken in giving to the world,
what, it was thought, might be useful.

MOMENTS LOST. Every other prop
erty when lost may be replaced, when it
is injured can be repaired. But, did ever
man or angel recover one moment of lost
time lie alone is the traveller who never
halts, never turns back no tears can sof-
ten him, nor prayers make him relent ;
little reeks he of The truest penitence, or
the most heart.broken sobs Of sorrow.
As vainly would we set about to recall
one yesterday, as beg yonder stream,
whose waters keep rushing on, TO roll back
a single wave. When the reckless hand
of passion has torn out half the leaves of
the life-blood to light its own fires, and
we count with trembling fingers the few
that remain, then indeed how solemn the
thought that no power on earth, none in
Heaven can replace single lost moment.
That Omniptence can renew departed
time has gone beyond any control, be-
yond any voice, beyond recovery or re-
newal. God may heap up years as he
appears to have done in the earliest peri.
DDS of the race, may prolong indefinitely
the sojourn of any single soul in any one
of his many mansions, but only by oblit-
Grating memory could he destroy the
consciousness of any polluted day.

UnWrilten Music.

Everything in the universe has voice
of music. The whispers Of the wind
playing with summer foliage, and its fit
ful meanings through the autumnal
branches! the broken murmuf of the
stream, the louder gushing of The water
fall, and the wild roar of the cataract, are
all attuncd in harmony. Who can sit by
the seaside when every wave lies hushed
in alteration, orlalls upon the shore in sub
dued and awful cadence, without feeling
this mysterious music steal into the heart!
The roar of the ocean in the storm, the
sweeping whirlwind, and every peal of
thunder, are but various phases of the
same, strange, wild, and magic music.
1t comes to us in the song Of birds-the
deep delicious tones in which the wood
dove breathes out its happine ness ; the JOY
Gus melody of the lark; the nightingales
wild warbling, and the black-birds tender
whistle. We perceive il in the gentle
twittering of the swallow; as in the rob-
in, pouring out his sweetest of all sweet
notes in gratitude to Him who has made
the berries to grow for him upon the
hawthorn and mountain.ash, and who has
put it into the heart of man TO love him,
and strew crumbs for him when the ber-
ries fail. Even the insect tribes, too,
Join the general chorus for when the
hum of the bees and the chirping of the
grasshopper have ceased to enliven us,
and the gnat has laid by his horn, then
the little cricket wakens into life and
song, and gladdens our hearth with the
same story till the winter is past.
And so all nature praises God, and is nev-
er weary.

Trust in God 5 Providence. g..

Two men used to work in The fields
together. One fthem was cheerful and
happy. but the other was always full Of
fears, and miserable. The fearful one
would say TO his, companion, What
would pecome of my children, if were
to die 7 And The other would try and per.
suade him to be thankful that he was yet
able to work, and 10 earn bread for them;
but he could not comfort him.
Now in the field in which they were
at work, they sped two nests in one
bush, and they used TO watch the old
birds going in and out all the day long
with food for their little ones. And they
often spoke TO each other about the care
Of these birds for their young. But one
day, just as one of the old birds was fly.
ing TO his nest, hawk pounced down
upon him, and carried him away. And
now the poor man who had been miserable
before, became ten times more miserable.
He could hardly sleep all night, for think
ing first Of the poor little birds that had
no parents to feed them, then of his own
children who would have no one 10 work
for them if he should die.
In the morning he went softly to the
bush, and looked in at the nests, for he
thought he should see the young birds in
one of the nests dying. But he was
astonished 10 see that they were alive in
both nests, and chirping as merrily as il
no hawk had ever come near them.-He
could not tell how it could be; so he sa
down close by to watch them. Present..
he saw the old birds, belonging to one o
the nests, fly in, and they fed the littl'
ones in one of them. and then they wen
away, and came back with food TO the lit
lie ones in the other nest; and so they
went all the day long. And he callet
his companion, and almost wept for JOY
as he showed him this thing. ..
So they said to each other, tha! they
would initiate The birds, and work a.
we'll as they could, each for his owr
family, so long as he was able; and i
either of them should die or be unable tc
work then the other would go on and la
Dor for both families.
What blessed thing it would have
been for that poor, fearful man, if he hat
known the kind words the Savior once
spoke, Are not five sparrovs sold 70,
two farthings, and not one of them is for
gotten before God! Fear not, therefore
ye are of more value than many spar
rows ,,.. ,......... .......

Religion aud Businels,Isl. l,Il

An individual, upon being reproached
for some dishonorable transaction in bus
ness, is inconsistent with religion, said,
What has religion to do with business ?
The answer demonstrated either his igno-
rance, or wickedness. But, if we may
Judge of their conduct, this is the senti-
ment Ofmany professors, although, pre-
haps, they would not avow it. Are they
not acting as ifreligion had nothing TO do
either with business, with temper or with
our domestic or social relations las fit
were matter of opinion, devotion, or
ceremony-a thing Of the cloister, or
closet, sanctuary, WHICH is to be confined
to its own retreats, and never to be allow.
ed to approach the scenes of worldly
business and secular pursuits--a rulelto
direct us how we are TO conduct ourselves
in the house of God, and to regulate our
worship and which, having done this, has
accomplished its object! 'H.' Pl
Is not this, | say, the view which if
we may Judge by their behavior, many
take Of religion! But can be any thing
more inaccurate ! Religion is perma-
nent, all-prevading, unchanging, princi-
pie, possessing kind of universally of
nature. 1t must go with US not only into
the sanctuary of God, or into the closet
of private devotions, but irto all places; it
must regulate our conduct not only to-
ward the church, but toward the world
it must operate upon us, and influence
us, not only on the Sabbath, sacramental
and fast days, but at all times and must
dictate, not only how we pray, and read
the bible, and keep holy the Lords day,
but how we buy and sell, and get gain.
Religion has no exclusive time, or place,
or sphere. of its own, but is matter of
all times, places and scenes.
My friend, religion has TO do with
business, whether you admit it or not
and if your religion does not go with you
TO your business or daily labor, you may
conclude that it is not proper kind Of
religion. Your religion may have moth
ing to do with business, but be assured
Gods religion has, and it is only that
religion that sees you do justly now, that
will see you presented before the throne
of God at last, without spot, or wrinkle,
or any such thing
True American. [volume] (Steubenville [Ohio]) 1855-1861, 1856-05-28

Do Coop. Thousands of men breathe,
move and live-pass off the stage of life,
and are heard of no more. Why! They
do not particle of good in the world,
and none were blessed by them, none
could point TO them as the instrument Of
their redemption not word they spoke
could be recalled, and they perished |;
their light went out in darkness, and they
were not remembered more than the in
sect of yesterday. Will you thus live
and die, o man immortal ! Live for
something. Do good, and leave behind
you monument of virtue that the storm
of time can never destroy. Write your
name in kindness, love, and mercy on
the hearts of thousands who come in con-
tact with you year by year; you will
never be forgotten. No, your name,
your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts
you leave behind, as the stars on the brow
of evening. Good deeds will shine as
the stars Of heaven. DR.. Chalmers.
