Left Behind.

The caravan was within few days jour
ney of the Syrian limit, and of its desert
Journey more than three fourths had been
performed. The tents had been lifted in
the first blush of morning, and the compa-
nv, before the sun was an hourin the heavens,
were out of sight from the spot where they
had halted. 1t was little deli which the
shelter of high rock had produced. A
fountain Of sweet water welled up through
-the-natted soil, which the waving of the
long tropical ferns produced; and under
meath the shade Of the rock was a double
shade Of the date and the aloe tree. There
still rested q young man in sleep. No won
der that the GOODNESS Of the shade and the
softness of his bed should have deceived
him, but still he was left behind. There were
leagues of danger between himself and his
company. Every moment the danger in
creased. In little while it would be in
surmountable. If ne had taken that mo-
ment for thought, he might then have I'M
derstood how time neglected becomes eter-
nifty.
Have you, my reader, been left behind
Has the caravan of Gods church passed out
of your sight2 Hurry on, for soon you will
find that the distance is insurmountable-
Left behind and by what? The lovely
and holy of all ages-the general assem-
bly, and church of the first born-the com
pany of the just made perfect! Only in
that blessed host-which thus in its solemn
procession has passed on--csn salvation be
found; for who is there who is ashamed to
acknowledge his Master on earth, and to
follow him without the camp, who will be
acknowledged by him in heaven a-EpiscO-
nal Recorder.

Are you a Lady?

The term lady is an abbreviation Of the
Saxon word 'leofday," which means bread
giver. The "lady of the manor" was &C
customed once a week to move among the
poor as an alms-giver, enriching their ia
BILE, and bearing away their blessings
She moved in queenly beauty, and to her
queenly robe chung the children of the
lowly, looking at her as if their little eyes
could never be satisfied with seeing
Their little hearts could never utter
How well they loved her bread and butter.
But they loved her smiling face more.
They needed not that any tell them how
priceless is smile. 1t was May-day With
them whenever she came among them with
smiles and bread, and it was always May
day with her, for the smiling poor loved her,
and crowned her queen of all the year.
Reader, are you lady? Are you queen
among the poor? Do the children of the
poor put crown en- your heada Do they
make your hair CLEAN with gems, or is it
burning with diamonds that the fingers of
the poor never set there! Do the poor
mans children cling to your gown, and find
protecting shadow in its fOlds2
Are your jewels the grateful hearts of
the poor? If they are, then they will
never lose their lustre, but shine brighter
and brighter the longer you wear them. l
would rather have Que grateful tear from q
famished child had fed, than all the jewels
that glisten on a queens brow. would
rather carry light and joy to one deSOlate
home than call the kingdoms of the world
nv own.

SELECTIONS.
Last Words of DR.. Kuypers.

The Rev. DR.. Gerardus A. KuyperS was
full of JOY and peace in his last moments.
" My dear colleague" said he to one of his
associates, sit is one thing to preach the
precious truths of the gospel, another to
exhibit their power in sustaining us in our
last moments" To a clergyman of the
Episcopal church who visited him, he said ::
" An experimental knowledge of Christ |

Humility l have always considered as the
brightest ornament of the Christian and
prayer which | have often heard from the
lips of DR.. Linn adopt as my own, LORD,

My desire has always been to avoid the road
of ostentation, which leads to the praise of
men, and to proceed in that retiring, hum

heaven. The time of my departure is at

Heavenly Father. l desire - close my pill

and distraction of my blessed Sariour, and

he whispered out, "My Saviour in agony

asked him Ny dear father, your faith
does not wayer?" my FAITH no, my
dear child" said he, sit is only the break
ing down of the earthly fabric" When
he received cup of cool water, he said in
soft whisper, "Oh the refreshment Of

Ny Times are in Thy Hand

Nv times are in Thy hand!
I know not what a day

But I am safe while trusting Thee,
Though all things fade away.
All weakness, l
On Him rely
Who fixed the earth, and spread the starry

If God provide,
IT'S for the best wish no lot beside.
My times are in Thy hand!
Many or few my days,

That by Thy grace l, every day,
Devoting to Thy praise,
May ready be
To welcome Thee,
Whene'er Thou CONTEST to set my spirit free.
Ny times are in Thy hand!
Howeer those times may end,
Sudden or slow my souls release,

HENRY MARTIN has become spontane-
ously canoDized in Protestant communions
for his singular union of genius, learning,
piety, and missionary zeal. 1t is, perhaps,
not generally known that these solid excel
lencies were accompanied with other light
er traits which contributed to render his
character still more attractive. The late
Mrs. Sherwood, the well known author,
mentions some of these. Among them was
o fine ear for music, and rich, melodious
voice, both of which were carefully cultiya-
ted in the signing of Gods praises, often
for hours continuously; habitual cheerful
ness, which one would hardly suppose. from
Martyrs diary would be the case; and "a
perfection of manners, which, from his ex-J
IRENE attention to all minute civilities,
might seem almost inconsistent with the
general bent of his thoughts to the most
serious subjects" This last point is worthy
of especial notice from those wbo seem to
think bearishness and godl;ness eonZertible
terms, and act as If . SgGo Christian must
needs be clogn
