we get to Heaven? have tested the
worlds pleasures, but religion is the
only thing that will make a man hap
py here, and the only thing that will
make him happy hereafter. There
are great many here that know me,
and il Is, no doubt, a mystery to them
that God should accept such a crea-
ture. Now is the time to step to the
altar. Don't say to God, let me ac-
complish this or that, and then will
seek you, When you receive the re
lsion of Jesus Christ YOU are the rich
est person on earth. Come at once.
Clear the way, here! Seats all around,
allow yourselves to be led to Christ.

Bad Company.

Among the many dangers by which
the rising generation are surrounded,
we know of hone so dangerous as
had company. How many promis-
ing Youths who bid fair to become
exemplary members in society, have
been allured from the path of virtue
and plunged into the path of vice and
intamy by associatlng with immoral
and unprincipled persons. If we
we're to approach the poor inebriate
md ask him how he became addicted
10 his miserable practice he would,
no doubt, tell you that his first step
from the path of virtue was bad com
pany. lfyou were to visit the pris-
oncr in his cell, and ask him the
cause 'of his degradation he would tell
YOU that his first step was keeping
had company. If you were TO visit
lhe penitentiary, and ask the convict
"a relate his history, he would, no
doubt attribute his shame and degra-
dation to his shame and degradation
10 his early associations. Visit the
gallows tree and hear the penitent
convict admonish the spectators to a
void a like fate by stunning the crimes
of which he has been guilty. In
giving history Of his wicked career
he will no doubt, tell you that his
first step from the path of virtue was
aeeking bad company.
How often do you hear that anx-
ous father czhort his son TO beware
the snarea that are set by the devil,
nd thoseunder his employ, in order
500 catch tbe uususpecting and care
,s.. Youth. How earnestly he is i'm
prrWued to avoid the society of those
who frequent the bar-room, gambling
table, and other places of debauchery.
Now, As it is natural !or us TO con-
form to the practices of our associates
we should be very careful in the
choice of our friends for nearly all
the evils to which we are addicted are
the results of our iniudicious asso-
cations. Profane swearing, Sab
bath breaking, gambling, intemper-
ance, &c, are contracted habits;-
the result of bad company.

Nearer.

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me Ger and DER;
I'm nearer my home to-day
Than I've ever been before.
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the jasper sea.
Nearer the bound Of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving my cross,
Nearer wearing my crown.
