aLook UP.n

Misfortunes,7 ii is said never come sim
ely" This was certainly verified in the
family OF Wm- Thornby. The world had
gone fortunate with him FOR time. bot soon
promising speculalions failed entirely, and
his affairs became sadly involved Some
hopes of recovery presented themselves,
when fire broke out in the place, his house
of business fell prey 10 the flames, and to
render The misfortune greater, the insurance
had expired the day before.
Thnrnby and his large family were redu-
eed TO absolute poverty. Nor was this all
his anxiety and exposure during the fire
brought on fever, and for weeks his wife
and daughter hung over him almost des-
pairing of his life- At length, however, the
fever abated, and though he was left weak
and helpless as an infant, reason had return
ed, and nothing was needed for his restora-
ton to health but good aursins and freedo m
from mental anxiety.
Careful and affectionate nursing were no
wanting, but it was impossible TO prevent
mental uneasiness. His children must be
supported, but hnws They would share
with him in the poverty, perhaps the dis
grace, which the involved state of his affairs
would bring upon him, and many would
heap upon him unmeri;ec reproach.
There remained but one way by which
bis fair name could be entirely retained and
on this he ct once resolved. The house in
which they lived was valuable and would
command ready and favorable SALE It
was hard 10 part with home he had made
50 comfortable, but there was no aherna-
tive. The house was offered for sale and a
purchaser soon found.
Every just claim was satisfied and the
family removed 10 distant part of the coun-
try.
Here in small, neat dwelling, they found
themselves in the possession of many COM
forts, and in their affection for each other
the mother and child soon found contert-
msnt and happiness
Bot the fathers heart was still sad. He
felt want of confidence in himself, and
mistrusi OF his fellow-creaiures His whole
appearance was changed His counienance
was downcast and sad, his steps lingering
and irresolu.e, and no one would have rec
oenized The once happy merchant in the iI-
dressed and uDhsppy looking man, who
now busted himself in cultivaiing a small
piece OF land sha surrounded his little dwell

His wife sought by every means in her
power 70 arouse hls dormant energies
The little property they had saved from the
wreck would soon be exhausted, he was
ys: in the prime Of life, his health was fully
restored, Why not again go forward and
endeavoF 10 regain at least a part OF what
they had Iasts Surely il was duty which
be owed to himself and his children. But

with what he deemed cold and nnfeeIing

success OF his wife and daughter. Why
was it that he alone should be rejected be-
cause he was unforiunate2 How was il they'
had raised so many kind friends aroun,l
them eager and able to assist them In what
did the difference consist?
The words of the quaker always came to
his mind, and though he had first regarde |
them as mere expression of insanity he now
began 10 suspect that :hey in reality cor
tanned the advice which the old gentleman
had said il rightly followed, would insure
him success.
Look Up.' Surely, man formed in tho
image of his Maker, should not, like th >
beast that perisheth cast his eyes upon III 3
earth Even when bowed down by misfor-
tune, he should strive 10 look up the light
which may YET illumine his path. Thes 3
thoughts had crowded forcibly upon Thor
by's mind, and he was beginning 10 act in
accordance with them, Sarah bounded into
the garden where her father was busted wi b
some vines, and told her father that + q
should smile upon her cheerfully as he uss d
to do, for that she had good news to tell
him.
"You deserve to be smiled upon, indee
my child" said he, gazing fondly on her
animated countenance, but what news
have you for me?'
Gone of the young ladies who attended
our school asked me to day il my father was
in want OF situation as clerk, and wh,,n
| answered in the affirmative, she said her
uncle requested you to call at his Office TO-
worrow morning. Here is the address y
Sarah continued handing her father slip OF
paper
"WelI there may be somthing yet in store
for me, Sarah /"
''Indeed there may, my dear father Only
think how well our school is succeeding. =
The income from that alone would afford us
comfortable support Onr Heavenly Fah-
er is always near 10 help US in The hour oi
need.''
The heart Of The strong man was bow ed
down and he trembled with emotion Te rs
of real sympathy stood in The eyes of ais
daughter, as she whispered
"Yonr heart will be no longer sad, father
you will smile on Us once more"
"My child, the dark shadow has long boen
on me, but with the help of God, will no
| longer be cast down. Even if the new
opening should prove delusive, will not
be discouraged-l will now look up"
With cheerful counienance, and S, sps
which fell sweelly on the ears of his Is lie,
bringing TO her remembrance the days
gone by, he descended 10 breakfast ,ne ext
morning, and al an early hour was on his
way TO the city. AS he entered the Office
answering 10 the address given him by his
daughter, he was met by the same bene vc-
lent old Quaker who had profered him ad-
vice on a former occasion.
"Wel, friend,' he exclaimed, extending
his hand, al am glad thou hast followed my
advice and learned TO look up. l have a
situation now at my commando where hee
can obtain good salary and without W ,rk-
ing harder than is filling at thy time oI
lie."
The best remedy for man who is g1iDg
down hill is TO loook up when earthly hopes
fail there is still hope in heaven.

merchant, turned farmer, in letter 10
one OF his old city friends, says:
'You seem 10 think that the society of
farmers and rural residents must be exceed
ingly dull and stupid. can assure you it
is not so My neighbors IN the county may
not be quick and ready in conversation as
ms old friends in the city, and their auen>
ton may not have been directed 10 so great
diversity OF subjects, but their knowledge
is less superficial, and their judgement far
more sound and reliable. Bat even if in>

they are certainly morally superior. Take
a hundred individuals, without any picking
from my new neighbors, aud "a like number
from the old, and there will be found more
among the former than the latter who de-
serve and might command your mo al re-
spect and approbatou-men who are hon
esi, sincere and reliable, and OF good moral
habits and worth OF character. For my own

prucipled, be the later ever 90 smart
