Effect of one Wrong Act.

Have you ever considered the effect of one
wrong act? The thing may net seem wrong
IN itself; soon douo; and viewed alone, may
appear OF no Importance. Bat you must trace
its ramifcatons, and follow up link by link, its
results. That single insignificant act, done
thoughtlessly, in an unguarded moment, must
send forward an influence through your whole
subsequent life. The historian OF British India
speaking Of the voyage Of Warren Hastings to
that country, says, concerning a circumstance
which occurred on that voyage: 1t is doubt
! full whether this act did not exercise an unfa-
vorable Influence over his whole mora! nature
and over his career Of how many persons
might the same remark be made One wrong
act brings the murderer to his ignominous end.
One wrong act stamps, with indeIible stains of
dishonor, a character hitherto above reproach.
One wrong act 10 youth has thrown many
young person from under the controlling love
of kind Providence, and launched him on
sea OF trouble and sorrow to a late old age OF
how much peace, OF how much spiritual pros
perity and holy joy, has single sin at the out
set robbed the true child of God !? OF how
much deep, unavaiing sorrow and mortifca-
tion has it been the inlet 1t was an act per-
haps, as soon done as the turning of key by
the angel that opened the bottomless pit but
with more distressing power for evil it has
caused darkness, as the smoke of great fur
mace, to overcloud your prospects, and has let
forth amid the wide spread scenes of all your
following years, memories and regrets with
kcener power than scorpions, and leaving hard
ly green thing 10 the waste of life that
opened with so much to animate and cheer. 1t
has drawn down on you the displeasure of
God. 1t has arrayed his providence against
you, and shut you off from the fulness of his
| love.
An unadvised expression from the lips Of
Moses shut him out from the green pastures
and still waters beyond Jordan. Never till we
reach heaven, and there have all our secret his
tory unrolled to our view, shall we know from
how many scenes of earthly and of spiritual
happiness single wrong act has excluded
US; how many sore Affections it has drawn
around our weary pilgrimage; and from what
degree OF advancement it has shut us off even
amid the glories and blessedness of heaven. .

rebel troops in those departments were fighting
on the Rappahannock And it is not easy for
us to see what advantages we have gained or
are likely 10 gain by holding Yorktown,
Suffolk, or Newborn, to compensate us for de-
feat of the army of the Potomac. The $4,000
men thus scattered are doing us little good,
while we are weakened by their dispersion in
fniteIy more than we weaken the rebels. 1t is
of more consequence to crash rebel armies than
to take and hold rebel cities or towns, and we
hope the costly lessons Will BE- learned before it
is too late.
