SAVED.

There is a word of JOY shut up in that
little word, saved How many dawn
of rich and golden beauty for the soul
has it ushered in, after gloomy night Of
deferred hope and anxious watching 1t
is always a sweet word to hear-a sweete-
word to speak. So full of happy music
when the lips utter it-so full of happier
meaning when the heart feels it, The
voice never breathes it, but the face be-
comes radiant with joy, and the eye spar.
kles with delight. Every chord of the
heart vibrates with inexpressible pleasure,
as its music falls upon the ear long waiting
in anxious expectation.
1t has history of its own, written in
the mingled experience of sorrow and ioy
of many a soul. Few there are who have
not uttered it in more or less meaning,
through whose soul has it not sent thrill
OF delight, filing it too full for utterance.
Sound it out in the still of night, and
some aching heart will take it up, and send
1t joytully back again through the gloom
and darkness. Whisper it ever SO softly,
and there will be some soul that cannot
contain itself for very joy 1t is the ave-
nue. through which the soul breathec out
Its overlooking gratitude. Its whole ex.
preston is that of thankfulness.
Saved and for what? All. from a
life of intemperance, of misery, of
crime, of degradation, of shame, of in.
fanny, and from death. If you have known,
kind reader, what it is to have had the
dear object of your hearts best affections
snatched from any of these calamities,
you have found no word that would SO ftly
express the outgushing thankfulness Of
your heart, aa the little word-Savsd
