STEPHEN GIRARD.

This wealthy merchant, who fiourished
in Philadelphia, not many years ago, was
one Of the best friends Of the working
classes that ever lived. He admired in
dustry as much as he despised sloth-
and there has never been known an in
stance where he did not furnish employ
ment OF money to an industrious man in
distress.
Early one morning, while AIr. Girard
was walking around the square, where
/ the mechanics houses now stand, Johr
Smith, who had worked on his building:
in the capacity of hodcarrier, and who
Dir. Girard had noted for his unusual &C
tivity, applied to him for assistance
when something ike the following dialo,
que took place:

Yes. Sir

And when you have done, come t

Smith diligently performed his tash
I which he accomplished about one O'Clock
when he repaired to Mr.. Girard and il
formed him that it was finished, at til
same time asking if ne could not Civ

Business a Means of Grace.

We often hear Christians complain of
their leanness and emptiness, and attrib-
ute it all to their business. IF they are
correct in the cause of their want of re-
ligious enjoyment, then, either they are
engaged in a wrong business, or they are
pursuing it in a wrong manner. No law
full business-and a Christian cannot
engage in any other-pursued in a
proper manner, will injure the rei-
gious enjoyments of the child of God.
He that has the love of God in his
heart, and does his whole duty each
day, toward God and man, will never
find occasion to charge the blame Of his
leanness to his business. The true
Christian, who does all that he does to
the glory of God, is never more happy
than when full of busin ess. Let him
connect his business with God let him
work for God every day in the week, and
consecrate all his income to the further
ance of his cause in the earth, and he
will find that his business, instead of be-
ing hinderance, will be help-a real
means of grace to him. Instead of let
ting his business swallow up his religion
his religion will swallow up his business.
To all the dear brethren who are Grip
pied in their religious enjoyments by
their daily callings,- L would recommend
the course pursued by Normand Smith
''When reused to more entire conse

mon notion that life of secular business

Ghost Stories.

There is foolish and pernicious prac-
tice with some people, of relating stories
to young children, to excite alarm and
terror. If it is was only foolish or un-
reasonable, it might not so justly call
forth strong expressions of censure. Yet
even in such cases the practice had, bet
ter be discontinued and condemned as
quite improper Stories to arouse Curl
osity and excite inquiry, if the subjects
tend to utility, are certainly proper and
ccmmendable But the common tales of
Blue Beard and giants, of spectres and
ghosts. are extremely injurious in their
influence and effects. Unfounded and
absurd notions are received, that serve
only to terrify, and which even by cor
rect knowledge afterwards received, can
not be entirely subdued or eradicated.->
It is in vain to reason against them, or
to oppose to them the knowledge derived
from natural philosophy and the scien-
ces. | have known men of great learn
ing, who were unable to get rid of early
but unreasonable fears, produced in
childhood by the stories of nurses or IL
1iterate parents; and who are always oc-
casionally under their unhappy inhuen-
ces, their sober judgment told them they
were fictitious. Let children be taught
that the great Creator has impressed laws
on all things, which operate uniformly;
and that they are in safety when they be-
have we'll and have reverence for thu
great and good Being. They should be
taught that ghosts, and apparations are
fanciful; and that all the spectres
they need guard against are guilty fears;
and if they are viIt1ous, these viii never
haunt them, nor ever exist.

THE TRIBULATIoNs OF AN UN-
DECIDED MAN.

Of all the minor misfortunes of life,
sincerely believe that being of an un-
decided character is the greatest. Nor
. do 1 really know whether I ought to
style it merely minor misfortune; to
me it has been the bane of my existence,
and the one overwhelming misfortune
that has swallowed up all the fair prom
ises fortune held out to me.
To women it seems allowable to doubt
to hesitate, or to procrastinate; their
doubts and hesitations may even seem
graceful, proceeding as they sometimes
do from timidity, or want of self-reli-
ance through extreme difidence. But
mani who has to fight his way through
the world, ought to have the prompti-
tude, the eagles glance that decides at
once the victory in the battle through
life.
Unfortunately for me this want of de-
cision is a constitutional iDfrmity l in
herited from an otherwise excellent
mother. 1t began to display itself, to
my fathers annoyance, from my earliest
infancy If was offered my choice of a
cake or apple, should not have been
able to decide which preferred till the
one was mouldy and the other rotten
It was the same with playthings, the
same between any two treats, the cast
ing vote between which might be awar-
ded to me. I still remember, as if it
were but yesterday, that on the arrival
of an uncle, who was to spend short
time with us, the good man projected
days amusement for myself and some
other children. Would 1 like best
ride to visit a picturesque old castle,
and scamper through the adjoining
wood to peep at waterfall or an ex-
cursion on the Rhine, to garden some
miles of, where people used to hear an
excellent band of music To think that
I was made the arbiter between two
such delightful alternatives! But then,
to be sure, was an only son.
lay urake nearly the whole night
considering what answer should give
my uncle next morning, for he had al
lowed me that time for deliberation.-
But alas I had got no further. 1 was
like the ass between the two bundles of
hay-both excursions seemed equally
tempting and if one moment I pictur-
ed to myself in vivid colors the delight
of bestriding a pony, the charms of
water party, SO exciting to novice,
would the next minute, bear away the
bell In my estimation. Like the ass in
the fable was likewise doomed to end.
For my father, exasperated at my de-
lays, promulgated this sentence without
appeal: " Sebastian shall stay at home,
to teach him to be little quicker an
other time in making his choice"
saAlack and a-well-a-day would that
my childish experience had been warn
ing to me ss
In my case the boy was father to the
man. The same as I had trifed away
toys and cakes, 80 did let slip in youth
various chances of securing an adyanta-
geous career. At one time thought of
entering the army, and might have OBJ
tanned great chances of advancement in
the Prussian service through a connec-
tion on my mothers side of the family,
who mad some influence with the minis.

Look on the Brightest Side.

Old man, prithee tell me why
You always wear smile,
Though others oft look wan and sad;
How do you care beguile 2
Though doom'd to toll and penury
And bowling down with age;
Yet still Light hearted blithe and gay
You tread life's weary stage.
: I'll tell thee all, my youthful friend
The good old man replied,
What e'er may hap always look
Upon the brightest side.
O'er all the land there's not a man
How hard so'er his lot,
But if he will, can often find
A bright and sunny spot.
I've lived and toil'd for many year
Beneath the summers sun,
And in the winter cold and drear
My labor still went on;
And in that varied course of years
Did much of i'll betide;
But still 1 always strove to look
Upon the brightest side.
When sickness came, and hours of pain
Dragged wearily along,
And mourning sad and murmurings vain
Dropt from my feeble tongue,
Kind hearts were there and kindly words
Fell softly on my ear,
And loving ones were always nigh,
My fainting heart to cheer.
And through long and varied life
I've learn'd this lession well,
That in this world of care and strife
There's more of good than ill.
And e'en in poverty and toll
Peace with US will abide;
Man may be happy if he will
But see the brightest side.

wards heaven like the lark of the morn

dency in his worldly engagements to chill
his piety, or to enchain his affections to
the earth. His business became to him
a means of grace, and helped him for
ward in the divine life, just as truly as
truly as reading the Scriptures and pray
