Life is at stake, but the wilful lad, ashamed
and hardened by defeat, clings to his oar
His strength is exhausted and gasping for

Alas how many noble youths set out up
on the broad sea of life, when all is calm and

managing their own souls.
Allured by the enchanting scenes that
surround them, they neglect to steer for the
desired haven until the lowering clouds of
disappointment and the bleak winds of ad-

then, when it is too late, they cry out-Ohi

der who fell at Roanoke uttering With his
expiring breath: "Lord I commendmyself
to thee"
Oh! how very ungrateful in US to spend
all our best days in selfish pleasures, and Of

rifce for our sins. God give US more CRATE
full hearts! Especially would we urge our
brave soldiers to daily commit their souls to
Jesus who alone can guide them safely into
the port of eternal deliyerance.
We cannot conceive any thing more heart
rending than q poor care worn soldler, who
cannot claim Jesus as his best friend, and
who has no hope beyond the grave: But
what scene is more cheering to us, or more
praiseworthy in the sight of heaven, than a
soldier, who, though surrounded by wicked
associates, is not ashamed of the cross of
Christ. Great indeed will be his reward
We as a nation, have launched forth upon
the mighty ocean that separates US from the
land of peace. Our proud ship has SO far
defed the storm of malice that threatens her
destruction and rides majestically ovs the
raging pillows of envy. But many # her
noble crew have fallen by the way, and she
is in eminent danger of being dashed into
atoms. We are relying too much upon our
own strength. Oh! let US commit our eause
to Jesus the good captain, who alone il able

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE
A Fact and a Query.

Mr.. EDITOR Before this terrible war, when, with
many, money was scarce and profits small, they la
mented their inability to do much to support the
preaching of the gospel at home or aid in sending it
abroad; but now when, with many such, money is
plenty and profits great, they, instead of doing pro-
portionably more and thus supporting the gospel at
home and abroad, do no more and many less. Why
is this ? is it-can it be for want of interest in the
ministry, or worse still, in the cause they advocate f!

The Power Of Kindness.

We have never seen a better ILLUSTRATION
ofthe power of kindness, than the follkving
anecdote of VIM. Slavery, a distinguished
preacher among the Quakers, whose hame
is to this Gay a sweet SAVIOR with the S4iety
of Friends:
Slavery was a tanner, and one nisht a
quantity of hides were stolen from his tann-
cry, and he had reason to believe that the
thief was a qT1arrs9ls99mg Hpf d gh Z =I nGtgh lhS9grt
.-aek the following advertisement appeared
IN the county news paper:
"Whoever stole a quantity of hides on the
9th OF the present month, is hereby informed
that the owner has a sincere wish to be his
friend. If poverty tempted him to this false
step, the owner will keep the whole ~transac-
ton secret, and will gladly put him in the
way ofobtaining money by means more like
~ to bring him peace ofmind."
This singular advertisement attracted con-
siderable attention, but the culprit alone
knew who had made the kind offer. When
ne read it, his heart melted within him and
he was filled with sorrow for what he had
| done.
A few nights afterward, as the farmers
family were about retiring TO rest, they heard
a timid knock at the door, and when it was
opened, there stood John Smith with a load
OF hides on his shoulder. Without looking up
ne said Il have brought these hides back,
Mr.. Slavery, where shall | put them?''
"Wait till L can get a lantern" replied Sa-
very, "and will go to the barn with thee;
