Losses by Religion.

Near London there dwelt an old
couple. In early life they had been
poor; but the husband became chris
tian, and God blessed their industry,
and they were living in a comfortable
retirement when one day stranger
called on them to ask their su description
to charity. The wife had less relig-
ion than her husband, and still banker
ed after some of the easy shillings which
Thomas had forfeited from regard to the
law of God. So when the visitor asked
their contributions she interposed and
said:
Why sir, we have lost deal by re-
ligion since we first began; my husband
knows that verywell have we not Thorn
as. After a solemn pause, Thomas
answered, Eyes Mary, we have before l
got religion Mary / had an old slouched
hat, sa tattered coat and mended
shoes and stockings; but l have lost
them long ago And Mary, you know,
that poor as / was, had habit of
getting drunk and quarrelling with
you, and that you know / have lost.
And then I had burdened conscience
and wicked heart, and ten thousand
guilty fears but all are lost, complete
ly lost, and like milestone, cast into
the deepest sea. And Mary, you have
been loser too, though not so great
a loser as myself. Before we got re-
ligion, Mary, you had washing tray,
in which you washed for hire but
since then, You have lost your washing
tray. And you had gown and bon
net much the worse for wear but You
have lost them long ago. And you
had many an aching heart concerning
me at times but these you happily
have lost. And / could even wish
that yon had lost as much as | have
lost; for what we lose for religion,
will be an everlasting gain
The inventory of losses by religion
run thus; bad character, a guilty
conscience, a troublesome temper, sun
dry evil habits, and set of wicked
companions.
The inventory of blessing gained by
religion, includes all that is worth hav-
ing in time and eternity.

NARROWER STILL NARROWER

NARROWER STILL NARROWER
The narrow limit of the longest life
is every day becoming narrower still.
The story is told of an italian state
prisoner, who after some weeks con-
fnement became suddenly aware that
his apartment had become smaller.
He watched, and saw with horror,
that movable iron was gradually
eucroaehing on the space, and that as
the movement came on, it must soon
crush him to death, and be could cal
culate it to day. But you have not
that advantage. John Foster yet
more appropriately resembles our time
to sealed reservoir, from which issues
daily a certain small quantity of wa.
ter, and when the reservoir is exhaust
ed, we must perish of thirst but wa
have no means of sounding it to as
certain how much it originally con-
tanned, nor whether there be enough
remaining even for tomorrow.

The KEY TO THE HEARr.-If had
a lock of very complicated construc-
ton, and there was only one key that
would unlock it, | should feel very
sure that key was made by one who
understood the construction of that
lock. So when / find that, notwith-
standing all the windings and mystic
ries of iniquity in the human heart,
the Bible, and the Bible only, is adap-
ted to it throughout, and is able to
penetrate its most secret receSses. Z
am constrained to believe that the Ri.
BILE was made by Him who alone
knoweth the hearts of the children Of
men. DANIEL Webster.

CONFIDENCE BETRAYED. There is
no earthly trial SO severe, as that the
youthful heart experiences when it first
finds its confidence betrayed. That
such an experience comes to all, few
who have had long commerce with the
world can doubt. That itcomes more
than once-that many encounter it un-
til all faith in man is lost, we well
know; and knowing this it seems
strange that we can still believe that
there is any soul so pure and good that
we may safely trust them.
But, by the very sympathies that
arc implanted in our natures, by orr
longing for approaching in our strug-
giles and efforts, by our need of COM
fort in our sorrows, and of sharers for
our joys, we are still impelled to place
in our fellows the confidence that has
so often been betrayed. Again to
know the pangs of having been de-
ceived where we trusted
There are few indeed whom we may
safely trust. There are few who can
understand and appreciate the reVela-
tions of our innermost lives. Better
bury all sacred thoughts in our own
bosoms forever, or utter them only in
the ears of the angels who minister to
every child of earth, than expose them
before profane eyes that viii look care
lessly upon them, and to the lips that
win surely betraY.

MY MOTHER.

My mother! Sweetest name on eartn:
1t hath the magic power
To soothe and calm the sdddest heart,
And cheer the darkest hour.
The pen to write that holy name
Should be no common thing;
A feather should the task perform.
Plucked from an angels wing.
Ny mother! Dearest gift to me,
From Heaven that ever came,
Was she the gentle, loving one,
Who bore that sacred name?
Thro' all my helpless infancy
And childhood's hayward hours,
Hers was the hand to draw my tears,
And strew my path with flowers.
Oh / remember long ago,
When in our garden-tree,
Within pretty robins nest,
Dwelt tiny birdlings three.
With childish joy spied them there,
And watched them, day by day,
Until the little things were fedged,
When 10 they few away
I wept to think the little birds
Far from their home had flown,
And now, without the old bird care,
Must wander forth alone.
Ny gentle mother hushed my sobs,
And took me on her knee.
And whispered in my ears soft words,
That then were blind to me.
But now full well I understand
The meaning of her words,
As then she said, So thou, my child, :
May'st like those little birds,
Be called to try the world alone,
Without thy parents care;
But, oh may God mig birding keep!
Thisis thy mothers prayer.
Alas! too soon l understood
Those words my mother spake,
Too soon I saw like that lone nest,
Our own home circle break.
Beneath the silent churchyard's sod,
That mothers form now lies,
But her pure spirit dwells with Christ,
In bliss above the skies.
Ny mother Oh we would not call
Thy spirit back to earth,
For thou hast fathomed all its joys,
And witnessed all its dearth.
But all extinguished is the light
Upon our hearth stone now,
And tears flow, while to God we try,
Submissively to bow.
My mother! Oh! the fervent prayer
Thou breathed'st for thy child
The holy life thou lived'st on earth
Thy words of precept mild
Now that thou can'st no longer here
Thy only daughter guide
May these be with me till stand
With thee at Jesus side.

GERMAN SIMON PURE.-In Nagler's
Kunstler- Lexicon, is whimsical error
concerning living English artist, Geo.
Cruikshank, Some years ago, the re-
lative merits of himself and brother
were contrasted in an English Review,
and George was spoken of as the real
Simon Pure" the first who h@} illus
trated scenes of Life in London. I"
Unaware of the real significance of a
quotation which has become proven
bal amongst us, the German editor be-
gins his memoir of Cruikshank, by
gravely informing US that he is an En-
glish artist, whose real name is ST.
mon Pure !! I" Turning to the artists
under the letter P, we accordingly
read, " PURE, (Simon) the real name of
the celebrated caricaturist, George
Cruikshank."

Newspaper Puffs.

THE "local" of one Of our country
exchanges gives the following schedule
of tolls for the benefit of those who
need and seek after puffs -
For moderate puff-3 juleps.
A tolerably good one-l box of Sc
gars.
A good one--1 pair of boots.
A very good one-1 vest and two
shirts.
A splendid one-1 cloth coat.
A perfect sockdolager-1 whole
suit.
The above tariff may, perhaps, suf-
fee for country editors, who, if un-
married, lie abed till their shirt is wash
ed, or if married, cultivate their own
little acre and live on its products !;
but for the editor of frst-class daily
city paper the "tolls" are about as
follows:
For modest puff-a gold watch
and chain.
For a tolerably good one-a fast
horse.
For a good one-a pair of horses
and carriage.
For very good one-a house and
lot
For a splendid one-a consulship.
For a perfect sockdolager-a minis
ter plenipotentiaryship to st. James
or the Hague Printer.
