An TmpreanIve Narrative.

A few years ago was travelling in South
America. As approached the base Of
mountain which lay in my route, found it
covered with what supposed to be an uu-
dergrowth of weeds Bat pressed my way
onward, aud climbed up its sides till |
reached the summit. When gozed around
me with delight and happened to look back
upon the winding path in which | had as
eended, and 10 my whole path was clearly
marked out, to the very foot of the noun
tain. found it was caused by my having
walked through q growth Of the sensitive
plant, as it is Familiarity known to us, which
grows indigenous there. 1t had left all
my way plain before me, so that | could
trace my footsteps IN all their curves and
deviations, as mad struggled up the sides
of that beautiful mountain.
A few months after that, as | was re-
posing in my tent in California, at / clock
at night. a man came to the door Of an ad-
Joining tent and called OUT
." Are there any Christians here, gentle
men?"
One man sprang from his bed.
81 love my Saviour" said he.
"Come with me, then" said the stran.
ger. There's man dying out here just
beyond the walls of Captain -'a fort,
and he says he wants to talk with Chris
tian."
They ran out together, although the rain
poured down in torrents, until they came
to where the dying man lay. lie was
stretched on a couch, l was going to say,
but hardly know what to call it, for it was
made up Of broken branches. On these
ne lay while few bed-spreads were thrown
over him. lie was dying. Let US hear
bis testimony:
He said to my Christian friends who
gathered around him =
= have now reached q point at which
the whole scene Of my life seems to lie WISH
bly, before me. Every action that l
have committed, every sin, every crime
that have perpetrated before God, seems
to stare me right in the face. can see
my way clear back to my youth; and, as |
lock, the scenes of iniquity and guilt in
which l have engaged, pass one another
before me in terrible review"
They sang With him, and prayed with
and endeayored to console him, and point
him to Jesus; but, said he:
Its all over noa-all over! l have
rejected Christ, and there is no salvation
for me-"
He ceased speaking. They sang and
prayed with him agaiu; and while thus en-
gagged, he closed bis eyes in death. His
immortal spirit passed into the presence Of
that God vhom he acknowledged to have
sinned against aud rejected all his life.
Uncouyerted friend, you will reach that
point by aud by when every scene of your
life, like the lie Of this dying man, or like
my path up the mountain, will pass in ter
ri6le review before you, Then your an
gush and your agony will be terrible to
witness, when you reflect that you have re,
iected Jesus Christ, and that he is about to
leave YOU to perish Ia your sins.

themrcspcns be for every talent committed
to them, and for shortening those days
which might have been many; and for turn
ing those hours into darkness and distress
which might have been hours of sunshine
and peace. That must be no small sin IN the
eve Of God, which he so often visits with an
early death or premature old age; and which
has deprived many family Of its most
precious treasure, and the church of Its
brightest hopes.-MacleOds Memorials Of
Mgcigtosh,

CHILDRENS' COLUMN.
a Child hearing mr. Sturgeon.

A Young girl of fourteen, daughter Of
one of our friends, now abroad for her edu-
cation, had recently the opportunity at
Geneva, in Switzerland, Of attending SER
vice in the Old cbgrch in Which in his day.
the celebrated John Calvin preached, and
of hearing a discourse by the Rev. Mr..
Spurseon of London, who is travelling on
the continent for his health. she writes
description of it to her friends here. We
wish all our young friends were as much
interested in the Saviour and his cause on
earth, as we believe this young girl to be-
"To. day." she says, "we started IN a
carriage at eleven, to join party at Gene
va to hear the Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon at ot'
Peters church. | never in all my life
heard, or saw, or felt any thing to equal
it. He looking SO young, ana preached
in such manner that | told NJ felt
as if it was not humaa being who was
speaking! His sermon alone lasted one
hour, aud it did not seem to me more than
quarter Of an hour, and at the close ne
said be was afraid of firing his hearers |
wanted to tell hin that if his hearers were
no more tired than was, he might preach
till night. GA, it was splendid.
"And then too, his explanation OF the
fIty.third chapter Of Isaiah. He was SO
earnest and so fervent just as a little
child. He seemed as though he could lie
in minute for Christ, he was so strong in
faith. OH, I iOue him. He said ne wished
every one could be made followers of Christ
that day-that many souls might be brought
to the Sayiour-that hosts of angels might
be reporting in heaven the news OF saved
sinners"

Words of Consolation TO the Bereaved

DR.. Juison once wrote to friend in the
hour Of trial tbus:-'So the light of your
dwelling has gone out, my poor brother,
and it is all darkness there, only as you
draw down by faith some faint CLEANS Of
the light Of heaven, and coldness has gath
cred round your hearthstOne; your home is
probably desOlate, your children scattered,
and you homeless wanderer over the face
of the land. We have both tasted Of those
bitter cups once and again, we have found
them bitter, and we have found them sweet
too. Every cup stirred by the finger of
God becomes sweet to the humble believer.
Do you remember how our late wives aud
others used to cluster round the well-curb
in the mission premises, at the close of the
day. can almost see the IN sitting there
sith their smiling faces, as | look out of the

Many weary step we may yet have to take

With patient heart l go;
Now restless World ] ask no more
Thy wiling guest to be;
Mine is the rich and heavenly feast,
And Jesus sups with me.
Now everywhere I take my way
Are pastures soft aud green,
And waters ever cool and sweet,
Where he before hath been;
Ol, never hos the day seemed long,
The night proved drear or cold,
So that l heard his loving voice,
Or rested in the foldl
You wonder at the songs I sing,
That thus my face should shine;
Remember, friends, that | am Ills,
Aud He forever mine:
So 7, pilgrim through the world,
His princely portion share;
While He makes every burden light,
Or doth the burden bear
Come join me in my pilgrimage,
And those long gone before;
Though narrow is toe way, and strait,
There still is room for more
What if the road be rough to-day,
The night prove drear or cold,

How short a span
Was long enough of old,
To measure ont the life of man
In those well temper days his time was then

And this, how soon, t. gray-bair' d night

Before We count our days, our days they flee
50 FAST
Francis Qu2rles.
And one Of the best men when asked
"How old art thou7'' was constrained to
say, "F,,c and er,I hare The days Of he gears
of my It5 beea."
Stretched as the life Of man then was over
a lapse Of time that seems incredible now,
if the days Of ones pilgrimage were few
and evil then, how short our sPan!
Yet the length Of the years is shortening
as each one flies. Who has not observed
that every successive year is less than the
last; that the new years come more quickly
now; and what is only twelyemonth, was
almost a lifetime when We were young.
How long it seemed from one Christmas 70
another! Now it was but yes erday and
these holidays we're here, and 10 they are
with us again.
But short as the past year has been, it
has had its share Of days Of JOY and days Of
grief, and its private history if written out
would be as full, perhaps more abundant
than the years before 1t.
Death has visited many Of our homes,
"Change" is written upon all that is around
rs. So many events have marked the rapid
year that is now gone, that when we look
back upon it, truly it seems as though 1t
were one of the longest and most eyeuuul
of our experience. Many Of our 0eqaa Mt
ances have gone to the war, never perhaps
10 return. Many have died from fevers,
and some have fallen on the field, they have
left those here who weep when they remem-
Der them; and all the glory Of war us built
by tears"
But now the year before US is to be in
proved. God grant it may be better
year than the past: more full Of usefulness,
more full of prayer, and if it is more full
Of tears may it also work cut more exceed
ing 10Y for those Who mourn We desire q
better even q heavenly country, and are
rapidly Fastening to our eternal dwelling
place. And here on the threshold Of the
NEW YEAR, would make this covenant with
God.

Take care Of the Casket for the sake
of the Jewel.

In many cases in which true Christians
complain Of the "hidings of Gods counte-
nance" Of darkness and depression, the
cause is solely physical disease; produced
not unfrequently by an obstinate disregard
to the will Of God as expressed in the hu-
man constitution; made up Of soul and body;
and by which a certain amount Of repose
relaxation, and exercise are essential to the
right working Of both. Let me earnestly
press it upon young and ardent students,
that it is very mistaken manlness to des-
pise the demands of the body; that it is no
self-deuial, but self-indulgeuee, to sa,rGce
health and life in the pursuit Of knowledge.
Let me remind them that God viii make
