\ Young merchant of the city of New
York. thirty years since, WAS oh liz
way from his place Of business 10 his
residence when il began to SHOW. 1t
WAS before the day, OF aianlbus con-
NenieHeCs, and he had Il Walk OF some
distance before him. lie Wended lis
Wy homeWard the storm came on thick
ef and thicker. It Wis tie evening OF
the weekly lecture i'll the church I'll
Which he WAS I'LL exemplary member.
lie said within himself, il is 100 stormy
TO attend the lecture this CIV, ning-i
will say at home. After s3pper i..
storm continuing, he closed his windows
and sat before blazing fire smoking ii
cigar and reading the papers. He Was
i'll q comfortable condition., but The
church bell, the sound OF Which was III
hearing, reminded him OF the Christian
privilege and led him To inquire Whether
he WAS not yielding too easily 10 Il him
dranee not Very formidable. As lie Was
smoking his cigar in the consciousness
OF comfort and enjoyment, the thought
occurred TO him that he would not yield
to such difficulty IN his secular con-
Germs. lie honestly put the question To
himself" Would you not go down to
the store, which is much more distant,
ii you had an engagement with a south
err customer::p With equal honesty he
said to himself, Il think | would"
Old John Bunyan would say that the
recorder conscience Kept posting him
with the simple question. Every few
minutes his mind would slip the news
Of the day, and the question would re-
turn, " il you had AN invoice OF goods
to make, or expected to meet a customer.
Or make a sale, the profit of which was
Il. i'm a
rise and go?' He WAS a good and honest
man, and at once he responded, and
said TO himself, think would. u
Ought you not, then, to go 10 the
place where by your profession God is
accustomed tomeetand bless his people,"
-, think | OUGHT
With prompt decision he arose, put on
thick overcoat and FASTENED to the
church, and as he entered the door he
heard the last toll Of the bell. He was
there at the time t. II moment.
From that time he adopted it as a
fixed rule of his life, never to let diff
Guilty hinder him in the performance of
his religious duties, which would not
hinder him in his secular business.
That merchant died recently, and the
Christian world morn his loss. His life
was embodied benevolence. He was a
moving spring in every Christian enter
prise. When he died he left a large be-
quest to the Bible, Tract and Missionary
societies. His name is an everlasting
remembrance.
Reader. so may it be with you, if in
simple integrity Of purpose you do as
he did--consecrate yourself to God-to
his rising kingdom, and adopt it as the
fixed rule of your life never to let diff
iicuIty hinder you in your religious
duties, which would not hinder you in
YOUR secular concerns. This is not q
fiction to point moral but was received
in substance from his own lips. 1t is
certainly an important rule Of life.
Let it be ours, and then life, activity,

Millions Last Poem.

The following beautiful poem is from the Oxford
dtion of Mitons Works: and as the work is rare
nd the lines compar lively littie known, we pro-
luce them:
am old and blind
Men point mt me as smitten by Gods fown
Afflicted, end deserted by my mind;
Yet am not cast down,
am weak; yet diving.
] murmur not that no longer see;
Poor, old, and helpless, the more belong,
Father supreme, to r.
oh Morciml Occ,
When men are arthcst then Thou most near
When men pass coldly by-my weakness sllun-
Thy chariot heart
Thy glorious face
Is leaning towards me. and its holv light
Shines iu upon my lonely dwelling .place,
And there Is no more night
On my bcnicd knee
recognize Thy purpose clearly shown;
My vision Thou hast dimmcd that | may see
Ihyself- Thysclf alone.
Ihavc nausht to fear
This darkness is the shadow Of Thy wing;
Beneath il an almost sacred; here
Can come no evil thing.
oh l seem to stand
Trembling where feet OF mortal never vet have been
Wrapped in the radiance OF Thy sinless hand,
Which eye hath never secn
Visions come and go;
Shapes ofrcsplendent beauty round me throng
From angels lips seem to hear the flow
OF soft and holy song
II is nothing. now
Wicn Heaven is opening on my sightess eyes
W hen air from Iarndis refresh my brow
That earth in darkness lies.
In a pure cline
aiY hcing fills with rapture, waves of thought
Roll i'll upon my spift strains sublime
Break over me unsouglit.
Give me now my lyrec
feel tie stirring OF gift divine;
Within my bosom gows uncarthly fire,
Lit by no skill OF mine.
