In no scene of earth, in no condition, are
we exempt from the incursions of temptation.
Ii we flee to the desert, and brock not the
sight of our fellow creatures face, we bear
thither the fend within: we cannot build
out or bar out the indwelling evil spirit The
gratings OF the monastery cannot exclude the
wings of the fallen seraph, nor solitude sane
tify the unregenerate heart In the garden
or the grove, the palace or the hermitage, the
crowded city or the bowling wilderness, sin
tracks us and self haunts US. If the poor is
tempted to envy and dishonesty the rich, as
Agur testified, is equally endangered by pride
and luxury. If the man of ten talents is
pulled up with self-con6dence and arrogant
impiety, the man of one talent is prone to
bury slothfully the portion entrusted to him
in the earth, and then to quarrel with its holy
Oliver.
The great Adversary has in every scene
his snares, and varies his bats for every va.
riety of condition and character. Each man
and child of us has his easily besetiing sin.
The rash and the cautious, the young and the
old, the rude and the educated, the visitant
of the sanctuary and the open neglccter Of
il, the profane and the devout, the lover Of
solitude and he lover of society, all have
their snares. Satan can msquote Scripture
and misinterpret Providence, and he Ca.
preach presumption Or despair, heresy or SUI
perstition, or inGdelity, as he finds best
He can assume the sage, the sophist, or thu
butfoon, the canonist or the statesman, at will
He spares not spiritual greatness Paul wa'
buffetted. The most eminent of Gods saint:
of the Old Testament and the New, Noah
Abraham, David, Hezekiah, aid the Apostles
have suffered by him. He spares not thu
season of highest spiritual profting. Err,
you rise from your knees, his suggestions
crowd the devout heart Ere the sanctuary
is quilted his emissaries, as birds of the air
CLEAN away the scattered seeds of truth from
his memory. When our Lord himself ha'
been at his baptism, owned from heaven a

it to be tempted And how often does som
fiery dart glance on the Christians armo
ust after some season of richest communion
with his God. Descend from the mount G
Revelation with Moses, aud at its foot in al
idolatrous camp dancing around golde

from the mount Of Transit guration, and tn

LAWFUL MEAN."-The bell rang, and
Bridget answered it. No one was at the
door. Not long after it rang again, and no
one could be seen when the door was opened.
So for several evenings the bell of Mrs.
Wayland's hall summoned Bridget, and when
she appeared there was no one there.
1T must be some child that rings it," she
said to Mrs. Wayland, and so thought the
family.
Henry Wayland determined to surprise the
offender, and taking his seat in the hall, the
next time the bell was pulled he suddenly
opened the door, and at the foot Of the steps
stood little boy who Immediately ran away
Henry followed and caught him. The child
denied ringing the hell, and charged it upon
another boy, and very good boy, too
Finally however, he acknowledged that he
did it, and with pretty severe admonitou
Henry sent him home.
You can see how one wrong thing leads
to another" said little Walter Wayland.--
&C First he rang the bell. Then he told a liz
about it, al tried to throw the blame upoI
another, and that soaS awtM mean."
1t was, indeed, very mean to accuse an
other boy of what he had not done, and Mrs
Wayland was very glad her child felt it 81
strongly
If we do wrong, the only proper way is t.
confess it, and apologize for it, and determin
to do SO no moro. ANNA II.

Marriages.

Much has been said in England regarding
the falling off in the number Of marriages.
Persons who took this view of the question
based their opinions upon insufficient evidence
They found that in certain classes of mar
riages there was IA falling off, and they con-
cluded rather hastily that there must be a
similar falling off in other classes. Recent
returns show that the price of provisions in
auences very greatly the marriages among
the lower classes, but that there are no
grounds for the assertion that the marriage
institution is in reality falling into decay in
any class of the population Of England. The
London Times, in speaking Of this subject,
holds the following language, which is equally
applicable to Gel tain classes in this country:
The only truth with which the argument
was tinctured was this, that in certain class,
where the education and habits generally ac-
quired are considerably above the pecuniary
competence usually possessed, there does APP
pear growing difficulty in making matches
in sufficient number. The class in question,
which would be found in the upper levels of
the great middle order of society, is not large
enough to affect the returns of the whole ma
ton, but it is one in which there is much ac-
tivity of tongue and pen, and where any de-
rangement attracts good deal Of attention.
The people comprised in it are cminently
writing and talking people, and they talk and
write of what comes home most forcibly to
themselves. They are also people of no small
influence, and for this, as well as for general
reasons, it is much to be wished that the
anomaly could be removed. A young lady
Of this class has not fair chance of getting
comfortably married, but the fault and the
remedy can both be indicated in moment.
Mothers must not expect for their daughters at
the age of twenty-one such an establishment
as they enjoy themselves after thirty years
of matrimony. Neither professions nor for
tunes can be obtained full-grown. The mis-
take lies in the endeavor to reproduce the
parent establishment on its full scale in the
case of each child at its first settlement Just
as if land-holder with $4,000 a year were
to expect that every one Of his daughters
should enter by marriage upon exactly such
property. Fathers should remember that
their elevation came by degrees; sons that
they have naturally the same probation to &C
through; and mothers, that what they have
!, now they had not when they began To the
daughters we say nothing, for the fault is
rarely theirs; but the whole evil would van
, ish at once if it wereb but openly acknowledged
that people might move on the same socia
3 level with broad distinctions of living ant
, means.

Be CHEERFUL.-There are not few who,
even in this life, seem to be preparing them

they look forward, by banishing all gayety
from their hearts and all joyousness from

street not unfrequently, a person of inteli-
gence and education, but who give, me, and
all that passes, such rayless and chilling
look of recognition, something as if he we're
