had only forty men; that he had hung three
men for kidnapping, and was responsible for it,
Gov. Medary thinks the matter can be settled

Think Tor One Hour.

During season of religious interest
among my people in c., there was u
class Of young pcrsobs who remained careless
and unooncerncd about their souls salvation.
At a prayer meeting, where many Of
them were present, they were exhor'ed to
consider their ways and be wise. When
about to leave the house Of prayer, which
was as solemn as the house of death, those
young persons were kindly asked to 90 homo
and think for one hour Of their souls saliva.
ton, One thoughtIeSs md protane young
man resolved that he would regard the re-
quest, and consider the subject for one hour
before retiring for the night. After r feet
ing for an hour on his lost and guilty condi-
ton, and o. God mercy to him, his heal t
relehted and he began to play earnestly for
the pardon Of his sins. Nor did he stop
thinying and praying when his hour had
closed hut he continued even unto breaa OF
day, to think OF his life Of transgressiOn, and
pray Tor forgiveness Of God, neither did he
find rest to his spirit, until he submitted lis
heart to God, and found joy and peace in Je-
sus. lie my great surprise, on the next day,
the young man who had been so careless,
thoughtless, aud reckless, came to my study
to tell what the Lord had done Tor his soul.
At first | thong it was too good news to
be true, for it seemed, ii true like Il resuuec-
ton from the dead; but on conversing with
him concerning his spiritual state, | found
him a changed man. He said to me, " |
went home from meeting last night, and
thought, as you requested, for one hour,
about seeking the salvation Of my soul, and
| did not sleep until gave my heart to the
Savior and became new creature in Christ
Jesus The news Of his conversion spread
like wildfre through the village and town,
and some Of his thoughtless and wicked com
panions were Influenced by his example to
sees and secure the Lord.
This led me to ask, why is it that so ma
ny Of our youth, and so many of our young
men, neglect their souls salvation and live
in impentence in this Christian land ? From
the testimony Of this young man that wa,
converted 30 God, | am led to believe it is
because they do not think upon their ways.
The impenitent youth do not think for one
hour of their deprayed and guilty condition,
and Of what Jesus Christ has done to save
them from the awful consequences of their
sins. The sin of reconsideration is the great
and crying sin of the majority of the youth
Of our land. In view Of it, [ cannot help
excaiming, f." Oh that they were wise, that
they understood this, that they would con-
slider their latter end (" Oh that they would
think for one hour

Sneak A Good Word,

Ifyou say anything about neighbor or
friend, or even stranger, say no ill. 1t is
a Christian and brotherly charity, to suppress
our knowledge of evil of one another, unless
the evil have such relation to society that
our higher public duty compels us to bear
accusing witcnss, And if it be true charity
to keep our knol0iedge Of such evils to our
selves, how much more should we refuse to
spread eOil report Of one another Discred-
table as the fact is, it is by far the common
est tendency TO suppress the good we know of
our neighbors and friends. We act in this
matter as though we felt that by pushing our
fellows down or back peg we were putting
ourselves up and forward. We are jealous
Of commentator unless we get the larger
share Social conversation, as known to ev-
cry observer, is largely made up of what is
best understood by the term scandal. 1t
would be difficult to find talkative group,
of either sex, who could spp nd aud evening
or an hour together without evil speech of
somebody. BLESSED are the peacemakers,'
is not the maxim by which we are chiefly
governed in our treatment Of personalities.
Better thousand lines, stand or sit dumb,
than to open our lips never so eoquently in
the disparagemeit Of others. What we
should do in this, as in all our human rela-
tons, is to practice the Golden Rule. II we
do unto others as we would that others should
do unto us, we shall be exceeding careful not
to volunteer i'll words about thea. Where
other than good word is to be spoken, let
it be spoken to the person concerned that be

aud sinister, and that he may have chance

The Two Lives.

Beautiful is old age-beautifu is the slow
dropping, mellow autumn Of rich and Clio
rious summer. In the old man, Nature has
fulfilled her work she loads him with the
fruits of well-spent life; and surrounded
by his children's children, she rocks him soft
ly away to grave to which he is followed
with blessings.
God forbid that we should not call it beau
tilul: but not the most beautiful. There is
another life, hard, rough, and thorny, trod.

life of which the cross is the symbol bat.

A Religious Belief.

The following lines were taken from Sir
Humphrey Days Salmonia ." l envy no

it genius, power, wit, or fancy-but if |

and, believe, most useful to me, l should

Young Men and Tree Frogs.

The following quaint comparison is forci-
BILE and, true. 1t would be well if our young
men would note the moral of the terse pas
sage we quote below:
The tree frog acquires the color of what
ever it adheres to for short time. If it be
found on the oak, it is brown color on the
sycamore or cedar, he is Of whitest brown
color; but when found on the growing corn,
he is sure to be green. Just so with young
men.-Their companions tell us what their
characters are; ii they associat with the vul.
gar. the licentious, and the proIane, then
their hearts are already stained with their
guilt and shame, and they will themselves
become alike vicious. The study of bad
books, or the love of wicked companions is
he broadcast and most certain road to ruin
that young man can travel, and few we'll
directed lessons in Gather will lead him on
step by step, to the gate Of obstruction. Our
moral and physical laws show how important
ii is to have proper associations of every kinds
especially in youth. How dangerous it is
to gaze on picture or scene that pollute,
the imagination. or blunts the moral percep
tons, or has a tendency to deaden sense of
our duty to God and man.

Time and Eternity.

We step on the earth; We look abroad
over it, and it seems mmense-o does the
sea. What ages had men lived, and knew
but portionY They circumnavigate it now
with speed under which its vast bulk
shrinks, But let the astronomer lift mp his
his glass and he learns to believe in total
mass Of matter, compared with which this
great globe itself becomes an imponderable
grain Of dust. And so 10 each Of us walking
along the road the road of life, year, day
an hour, shall seem long. As we grow older,
the time shortens; but when we lift up orr
eyes to look beyond this earth, OR seventy
years, and the few thousands Of years which
have rolled over the human race, vanish into
a point; Tor then we are measuring Time
against Eternity.

Rushing yet, rushing yet-in accord with yon Spheres
Mighty harpors Of God-lo! the Torrent of Years
Hark billow to Eternity calls
In a weird, awful voice as it mournfully falls.

While feel the cold sweep of thy last failing breath
And offer the dirge and the funeral tear

But no loud naughty trump in the sad measure sweeps,
As you soemnly sinkin Eternity's deeps;
Only faint tender ntes in the symphony sigh
While we gaze on the gulf where the Years grandy die
Teo great thy issues, thou large breasted Yeal
With the hope and the fear with the cradle and bier;
With the march of the nations the of strife,
And the mystery hangs of old over Life
To solemn thy race for q soul shaking sound,
While we thee, Old Year, by Eternity crowned
Disappear disappear to a dirge-hymn so low

FEALTY TO AN ETERNAL PRINo1PLE.-The
greatest spirits of antiquity manifested a
close sympathy with the religious feelings of
their contemporaries; and such sympathy
is to be considered as the fealty Of noble

eternal principle, even when it seems to afford
counteuance to evidently aeeting and fanciful
forms Of worship.
