HEs1rArIoN--H Hesitation is often a sign of
weakness, for inasmuch as the comparative
good and evil of the different modes Of ac-
ton about which we hesitate are seldom equal
ly balanced, strong mind should perceive
the slightest inclination of the beam which
the glance of an eagle, particularly as there
are cases where tie preponderance will be
very msnute even although there should be
life in one scale and deaM in the other. 1t
is recorded Of the late Earl of Berkely, that
he was suddenly awakened at night in his
carriage by highwayman, who, ramming a
pistol through the window, and presenting it
close to his breast, demanded his money, ex-
claiming at the same time, that he had heard
that his lordship had boosted that he would
never be robbed by single highwayman,
but that he shonld now be taught the contrary.
His ordship, putting his hand into his pock-
ct, replied, I" neither would | now be robbed,
if it was not for that fellow who is looking
over your shoulder The highwayman turn
ed round his head, when his lordship, who
had drawn pistol from his pocket instead
of purse, shot him on the spot.
AS relates to hesitation, however, it may
be added that it is folly to decide too quickly
in cases where there is plenty Of time for de-
liberation.

Pity THE DRuNKARD.-I pray you do not
hate the drunkard he hates himself. Do
not despise him; oh, he cannot sink so low in
your opinion as he is sunk in his own. Your
hatred and contempt may rivet, but will never
rend his chains. Lend kind hand to pluck
him from the mire. With strong hand
shatter that bowl-rcmove the tempta-
tions which, while he hates, he canuot resist.
Hate, abhor, tremble at his sin. And for
PHYS sake. for Gods sake, for Cbrist's sake,
for humanity's sake, rouse yourself for the
question, What can be done? Without
needing othcrs-whether they follow or wheth-
er they stay-rushing down to the beach,
throw yourself into the boat, push away, and
bend on the oars like man to the wreck.
Say I will not stand by and see my fellow
creatures perish. They are perishing To
save them | will do anything. What luxury
will Tnot give up? What indulgences will
| not abstain from? What customs, what
shackles of old habits will not break that
these hands may be freer to pluck the drown
ing from the deep? God may help; His
word my law; the love of His son, my ru-
ling motives | shall never balance poor
personal indulgence against the good Of my
country and the welfare of mankind. Berth
rem, such resolutions, such high and holy
and sustained, and selEdenying efforts, the
height of this evil demands-Dr. Guthrie,

UNDoUBTING FAIrH.-The Christian must
trust in withdrawing God. The boldness
of faith ventures into Gods presence, as Es-
Their into Ahasueruss when no smile is to lie
seen on his face, no golden scepter of prom
Use perceived by the soul. Yea, faith trusts,
not only in withdrawing, but in killing
God. Now for soul to make its approach
es unto God, by a redundancy of faith, even
while God seems to fire upon it, and shoot his
frowns like envemoned arrows into it, is hard
work, and will try the Christian to purpose
Yet such masculine spirit we find in that
poor woman at canaan, who las it were) took
up the bullets which Christ shot at her, and
with an humble boldness Of faith, sent them
back again to him IN her prayers -GuynaN.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1858-05-13

FAIrH.-Faith, according to St. Paul, is
the means by which the whole being OF the be
liever-his intellect his heart and his will
enter into possession of the salvation which
the incarnation of the Son of God has pur-
chased for him. Jesus Christ is unprecedented
by faith, and thenceforth becomes everything
for man, and man. He imparts divine life
for human nature; and man thus renewed,
disengage from the power of selfisbness and
sin, has new affections, and does new works.
Faith (says Theology in order to express
these ideas) is the subjective appropriation
of the objective work of Christ. 1t faith
is not an appropriation of salvatio it isnoth-
ing, the whole christian economy is disturbed,
the sources of new life are sealed up, aud
christianity is overturned at the base.-

One summer afternoon as sat in my
room vainly endeavoring to solve difficult
mathematical problem, my attention was sud-
denly diverted from my task by a little boy
who passed under my window singing merri-

laid aside, and with ishing-rod in baud l
started on my novel expedition. The path
chose led me along by the side of limpid
rivulet which meandered through maple
woodland. 1t was one of those quiet days
in summer when it seems as if deep hush
were laid upon the lip of Nature, its many
voices are so softened and subdued.
The murmur of the little brook was scarce
ly audible; the leaves hung molionless upon
the branches; the Insects dreamy hum was
faint and low; and now and then wild bird
indolently warbed drowsy song. The &C.
casional lowing Of cattle, the fute-like tink-
ling of bells upon the hills, and the languid
voices of hay.makers in the valley, were
heard in the distance. The retreatng sun
beams peeped down through the rich foliage,
forming beautiful pictures with wavy out
lines, upon the green earth below, and the
wild flowers closed their tiny cups, as if
wearied with days brightness.

while, entirely forgottnl of the object of my

quaint old adage, "There's many slip be.

me- for in taking the fish from the hook it

further attempts at angling, but gave myself
up to the enjoyment Of my own reveries.
