WHY HE FELL.

We often wonder that certain men and
women are left TO the commission Of sins
(which shock Us. We wonder how, un-
der the temptation of single hour, they
fall from the very heights Of honor and
virtue, into sin aud shame. The fact is,
that there are no such falls us these, or
next to none. These men and women
are those who have dallied with temp
tation, have exposed themselves to the
influence Of it, aud have been weakened
and corrupted by it. If we could get al
the secret histories of those who stand
suddenly discovered vicious, we should
find that they had been through this mos
poluting preparatory process; that they
had been in the habit OF going out and
meeting temptation in order that they
might enjoy It's excitements; that under
meath a blameless outward lite, they have
welcomed and entertained sin in Their
imaginatons, until their moral sense wa
blunted. and they were ready for tn,
deed Of which they thought they were in
capable.-7imothy 2itcomb.

FOOLISH THOUGHTS.

We are apt to believe in Providence
so long as we have our own way; but il
things 60 awry, then we think, if there is
u God, He 10 in heaven, and not on earth.
The cricket in the spring builds his little
house in the meadow, and chirps for joy,
because all is going so well with him.
But be hears the sound Of the plough, a
few burrows of, and the thunder of the
oxen's tread, then the skies begin to look
dark, and his heart fails him. The
plough comes crunching along, and turns
his dwelling bottom side up, and rs he is
rolling over and over without a home
his heart says, "Oh, the foundations oI
the world are destroyed, and everything
is going to ruiuw But the husbandman
who walks behind his plough, singing nnC
whistlng as he goes, does he think tin
foundations of tue world are breaking up
Why, he does not SO much as know Their,
was any house or cricket there. II,
thinks of the harvest that is to follow tn,
track Of the plough; and the cricket, toe
IT he will but wait, will find a THOUSAND
blades where there was but one before
We are all like the crickets. If any
thing happens TO overthrow our plans
we think all is gone TO ruin.
