The lack of piety shows itself in our day, in
straning after popularity. One is truly popular
by the force of his talent, and the fer7or of his
pety another, because he seeks it as a main
end. Between these there is a wide difference
One is simple and solemn the other is mag
nioquent and affected. The one impresses by
his thoughts; the other by his manner and
words The one attracts by the so1emnity and
power with which he presents and applies divine
truth the other, by his newspaper notices, his
qunt subjects and texts, his odd illustrate ons
The one wins converts to Christ the other,
admirers of himself The one breaches boldly
the doctrines of the cross the other witholds
or modifes them lest they should offend; and
blunts' every arrow lest they should penetrate,
emnlous only Of the reputation Of popular
preacher !
How many and sad are the lessons taught us
by the history Of the church, at to the great
evils arising from an unconyerted ministry =
How sadly the Jewish church suffered from false
prophets ! It was an unconyerted apostle that
betrayed the Lord of Glory For how many
ages were the boosted successors of the apostles
the Yilest of men And how, even now, in
Germany, the lowest infdelty is decked in the
robes of the ministry ! and in England, the
merest wording, because second or subsequent
sons of the gentry, are promoted to church
benifces; and how, in communions regarded as
evangelical, an unsahctifed ministry are prosttu-
ting the order and ordinances Of Gods house to
the purposes of superstition, and to the sup
planting of a spiritual by formal and ritual
religion.
Piety, then, is the first great, essential element
of true minister of the Gospel Without this
preacher is but as sounding brass and tink-
ling cymbal. He is minister only in the tech
ncal sense of the word-Dr PIumer

Success in Life.

You should bear constantly in mind that nine
tenths Of us are from the very nature and neces-
stiles of the world, born to gain our livelihood
by the sweat of the brow What reason, then,
have we to presume that our children are not to
do the same? The path upwards is steep and
long. Industry, care, skill, excellence in the pa
rent, lay the foundation of rise under more ia
vorable circumstances for the children. The
children of these take another RISE and, by-and-
by, the descendants of the peasant laborer be-
come gentleman. This is the natural progress
1t is by attempting to reach to the top at sin
gle leap that SO much misery is produced in the
world The education which is recommended
consists in bringing children up to labor with
steadiness, with care, and with skill-to show
them how to do as many useful things as posi-
BILE to teach them to do all in the best manner !;
to set them an example of industry, sobriety,
cleanliness, and neatness-to make all these
habitual to them, so that they shall never be la

my ideas adzactly.
"About week after her husband died she
started down to the graveyard, whar they plant

onto his monument. When she got thar she
stood minute a looking at the stones which
was put at each end of the grave, with an cpl

Then she burst out
{" Oh boo said she; Jones, he was one
of the best of men. | remember how the last
time he came home, about week ago, he
brought down from town some sugar, some store
goods for me, and lots Of little necessaries, a

got his mouth all yaller with sucking of it and
then he kissed the children all round, and then

THE REpENTANT YoUTH.-In metropolitan
criminal court eight years ago, poor woman,
whose boy had been sentenced to long term
in the penitentiary, for some not we'll proven
offence, said, {" Won't your Honor give him al
shorter term He IS a good boy to me, your
Honor-he always was. I've just made him
some nice clothes, your Honor which fit him
beautiful, (and she looked, as she spoke, as only
a mother can look at her boy,) and if you give
him long time to stay in theprison, the clothes
won't fit him when he comes out, for he IS grow
ing boy"
Poor mother she had saved much (for her
boy,) from her scant earnings, to clothe her boy,
:" like the neighbours children" This was too
much for her son. He melted-he wept-h6
repented-he was forgiven. And he is now
one of the most promising, enterprisine, and,
honorable young merchants in our city. Every
word of this is true, and know it to be soby very
many parties. KRickerbocker.

Is the World a Mistake,

One of the saddest mistakes which good peo-
pie have made is in supposing the world to be
mistake. To these people-and their number
is not small-the earth is a theatre Of pain and
sickness, sorrow and death Joy is illdsive
pleasure, cheat, laughter, a mockery, and
happiness thing impossible, and not even to-
be looked for on this side the grave The
performance of all duty is the taking up Of That
they call "a cross" They are actually afraid to
be happy, under an overshadowing impression
that they have no right to be happy in this life
They believe that there is something intrinsieally
bad in the world they inhabit and all the JOY
that proceeds from it. They have an idea that
the moral evil which aflcts the human race has
struck in. AL the sufferings of the brute crea--
tion-their throes of labor, and sicknesses OF
body pains of death-are so many voices pro-
claiming the failure of Adam Human nature
itself is an awful thing. God is great law
giver, an memorable avenger, an awful Judge,
and Being to be feared more than loved. Life
is a trial-severe, unrelenting, perpetual. All
that seem good and graceful and glorious in the
word is hollow sham for The deception of the
unWeary and the ruin of the unwise.- Timothy

The Opinion of Others.

Many a man has ruined himself by being too
often guided by the opinion Of others. Ask the
advice Of twenty different persons on the same
subject ten to one you will receive as many diff
ferent answers each borne out with fitting ar
gument to make it appear the better reason. A
man who has no reliance on his own judgment,
becomes perplexed endeayors to take sort of
middle path, assimilating as near as possible
with the various adYices he has received; and,
as matter Of course, fails in the undertaking he
may have in hand.

ago to-day, (the 18th Of May) there was quite
an accident in Egypt Had there been papers
issued in that vicinity at that tine, what mag

The accident referred to, took place in this wise
A lot Of Israelites had taken it into their heads
to escape from the brick-making business and
accordingly left their masters, the Egyptians =
They crossed the Red Sea in body, the Egyp-
tians behind close after them; but Pharoah,
the leader Of the Egyptians, with his host, met
with fearful catastrophe, and all were drown

fore, of witnessing terrible retribution, and
feeling the satisfaction of individuals who were
thoroughly avenged
People do not cross the Red Sea now for any
purpose-a railroad has been built across the
Isthmus of Suez, and people ride now on pat

toned chariot wheels We can just imagine the
announcement made in the Red Sea Morning

TWENTY THOUSAND HORSES DROWNED
DISASTROUS DETAILS!

This morning, about o'clock, Mr.. Pharaoh,
of Egypt, well known to our readers as " Old
Pha" with retinue of forty thousand men, ten
thousand chariots, and twenty thousand horses,
attempted to cross the Red Sea by an unfre-
quented path. His guides suddenly lost their
way, and before they could get on their route
again, the whole body marched into exceedingly
deep water and were drowned There was not
single fe-preserver in the crowd.
We have just returned from tbs scene of this
unparalleled disaster, and with three able report
ers have gone over the whole ground We could
see nothing of i" Old Pha," who undoubtedly
got his leg entanged in a chariot wheel, and not
being tall enough to keep his head out of the
water, misersbly persisted Our reporters pick
ed up a few scythes that were floating around in
the water and several thousand iron shields
which Aoated ashore, and which the friends Of
the deceased can obtain l,y calling at oar of

The coroner is now holding nque8ts at the
beach-only thirteen thousand bodies have yet
come ashore He has held inquests on about
