Time Wasted.

A dreadful account most be given Of all
this lost and wasted time. When the
Judge shall ascend his throne in the air,
and all tho sons and daughters Of Adam
are brought before him, the grand inquiry
will be. What have you done with all the
time of life in younger world ? You
spent thirty or forty years there, or per
haps seventy or eighty; and | gave you
this time, With thousand opportunities
and means OF grace and salvation, and
what have you done with them all ! How
many sermons have you heard How
many seasons did give you for prayer
and retirement, and converse with God
and your own souls ? Did you improve
time well ! Did you pray ! Did you
converse with your own souls and with
God Or did YOU suffer them TO slide
away in thousand impertnences and
neglect the one thing necessary
irui1ess and bitter mourning for the
waste ard abuses of time will be another
consequence Of your folly. Whatsoever
satisfaction you may take now IN passing
away time merrily, and without thinking,
it must not pass away forever. If the
approaches of death do not awaken you,
judgmen. will do it. Your conscience
will be worried with terrible reflections
on your foolish conduct.-Dr. UanS.

EOl. The RfriSt.
TO A FRIEND ON HER BIRTH DAY.
BY FRANK FRoLLICKE.

Now when freshly blooming hnwers
Brightly deck the brow of May.
And sweet birds sing in leafy bowers,
And sunny pleasures crown the hours,
Comes again thy natal day.
With fairy step thou hast ever tread
I,ite's rose-sirewn path along
While Heaven e'er smiling Ger thy head
On thee has e'er its choicest blessings shed
And made thy life pleasant song.
Ard if amid thy sunny skies
Same clouds have fitted o'er,
They've passed away like a zephyr's sighs
As in the distance ii calmly dies
And left thee gentler than before.
Yet all The years that now have fled
Thou may ST with happiness review,
For though some hopes have faded-dead
Otrers have brightly bIoomed instead,
And with sweet joys thy pathway slrew.
In YOUTHS bright morn hopes golden beam
With radiance bright doth gid thy way,
May these visions bright be all they seem
And life TO thee be happy dream
And all thy year one "howery May
And as thy onward footsteps rove
This "vaIe of tears" adown,
May richest gifts If Heaven above
And all the sweetest joys of love
Thy pathway ever crown.
