RELIGIoUs.-The reason there are
more pious women than men is not be
cause women are weaker or their pas
sions less powerful, but because feel
ing Of dependence is native in the fe.
male heart. 1t is because the pride Of
independence has little or no place
there. 1t is because the female mind
has TO undergo comparatively a small
revolution to become religious. One
powerful barrier that stands before the
path Of every man in his approach to
the valley of humiliation does not OPP
pose the passage of the true woman
It is very rare that those who are demo-
minated strong minded women be-
come religious. The pride of porso-
nal independence prevents this.
So sweet and so natural a thing is
piety among women that men have come

Rev. Mr.. SPURGEoN.-A recent Wis
itor at London. John Glen parker, resid-
ing near Kilmarnock, Scotland, went
to hear the Rev. c. H. Spurgeon, to
whom he tenders the following moral of
admoni,ion -
There is no denying it. sir, that you
are clever lad, and have little doubt
that your piety is of the right stamp.
At the same time you must excuse me
for saying that the fewer you print of
your sermons the better. George White
field Ito whom you have been likened
fell ninety degrees in the public esteem
after volume of his discourses had
been published. Folks wondered that
words which made them half crazy
when they heard them spoken, were SO
tame when in the book. There is some
thing in the way you comb your hair,
and in the appearance of your uncom-
mon mouth bristling W tn buck teeth.
This cannot be put in print, and conse-
quently what seemed gold in coming
from the pulpit, is dull volume. Il

Pleasant Memories.
ooh, memory. thou lingering murmerer,
Within JOYS broken she'll
WHY have not in losing all loved,
Lost thee as we'll
Thus sings poet, who fer the mo-
ment, and for the moment ONLY would
bury the sad and beautiful memories of
the past, in 'Lethe's Tabled Stream
and live but in the anticipations Of the
future. But to the tender and afec-
tionate heart, nothing would coinpen-
safe for the loss of the remembrance of
past joys, flown forever though they
may be-Washington Irving beautifully
says: Where is the mother that would
willingly forget the infant that persisted
like blossom from her arms--though
every recollection is pang? Where is
the child that would forget the most
tender of parents, though to remember
be but to lament? Who even in the
hour of agony, would forget the friend
over whom he mourns? Who, even
when the tomb is closing over her he
most loved-when he feels his heart as
it were crushed in the closing of its
portals, would accept of thu consolation
that must be bought by forgetfulness?
Our tenderest emotions are those
awakened by the recollections of the
loved and lost Our best moments are
those in which the heart, wearied by
the toll and strife Of the world, looks
back through the long vista of years,
and finds in the communion with the
blessed dead soothing and heavenly
calm, that no present or future earthly
bliss can give it.
To many, the recollection Of the past
brings their only earthly happiness
Who can tell what sunny memories
enrich and enliven the barren life of
that poor, care worn woman, between
whom and poverty the struggle never
ceases-what tho her heart is saddeped
by the contrast-would she be happier if
the past were blank and nought remain
ed but the cold realities of her every day
existence ? Would she accept of the
consolation that mus. be bought by for
getfulness?'
Who can tell what rich and tender
visions fill the heart Of him, who pausing
between busy life and the life eternal, sits
for time in the sale Of second child
hood May we not suppose that his
thoughts. leaving the { to him) cold and
cherries present. turn to the warm and
joyous light of his youth--that his mind
mercifully freed from care, reverts with
the tenderest delight to past pleasures,
which are but the foretaste of those
which await him in Heaven.
It seems to me that there is no life
which has no oasis in its oft-times seem
ingly barren desert--that there can be
none to whom that guardian angel, Mem
DRY, comes not with healing on her
wings
'sThere's not hearth. however rude,
But has some little flower
To brighten up its solitude,
Aud scent the evening hour.
There's not heart, however cast,
BY grief and sorrow down,
But has some memory Of the Past,
To love and call its own."--LITTLE DoRRIT.

The great popularity which MorFAr's LIFE
Pills and PHOENIX Buffers have attained in
consequence of the extraordinary cures ef1cc-
ted by their use, renders it unnecessary for the
proprietor to enter into particular analysis of
their medicinal virtues or properties. Having
been more than twenty years before the public,
and having the united testimony of more than
Three Millions of persons who have been restor-
ed to the enjoyment of perfect health by them,
it is believed that their reputation as the best
vegetable medicine now before the public, adj
mits of no dispute. In" almost every city and
village in the United States, there are many
who are ready to testify to their efficacy in re-
moving disease, and giving to the whole system
renewed vigor and health.
In cases of Scrofula, Ulcers Scurvy or Erup-
tons of the skin, the operation Of The Life Med
icines is truly astonishing. often removing in a
few days, every ves'ige OF these loathsome dis
eases. by their purifying effects on the blood
Fever and Aguc. DYSPEPSIA, Dropsy, Piles, and
in short most all diseases, soon yield to their
curative properties. No family should be

fering and expense may be saved.
