SORROW AND TROUBLE THE EXCEPTION.
There is always something to be thankful for.
In the darkest hours of our experience, in the
sorest stress of life, there is always some oc-
casion for rejoicing. But how few of us really
know this /! How few ofus recognize these occa-
sions even in our prosperous daysi What a
poor-house record the best of us make of this
world. One would almost think we had never
seen an hours enjoyment in our lives. Our
book of remembrance is filed with the record
of clouds and storms, of disappointments and
defeats. We are very careful to treasure up
the memory of our sorrows, but we seldom
take account of joys. We remember every
tear we shed, but where is the record OF our
smiles? Poor creatures, we have hard time
OF it in this world if our diary of events is to
be believed. No sunshine, no summer glad
ness, no enjoyment; but storms and troubles
in abundance. God has dealt severely with
us if this record of our experience be true
Surely there is little to be thankful for in such
a prison life as this. But Is the record fya.es
Has God SO far forgotten to be gracious to us
as our account of life would indicate? Shame
shame, on such ingratitude There is moth
ing manly, and surely nothing Christian, in
such course. For the most part, your life
and mine has been one of happiness and
peace. Sorrow and trouble have been the ex-
ceptions, not the rule of our experience. And it
is the pant of gratitude to recognize this fact,

PRAYER.-I have seen lark rising from
his bed of grass and soaring upwards, singing
as he rises, and in hopes to get to heaven and
climb above the clouds; but the poor bird
was beaten back with the loud singing Of an
eastern wind, and his motion made irregular
and inconstant, descending more at every
breath, of the tempest than all the vibrations
of his wings served to exalt him, till the little
creature was forced to sit down and pant, and
stay till the storm was overpast; and then it
made prosperous flight; for then it did rise
and sing, as if it had learned music and mo-
ton from some angel as he passed some time
through the ar. So is the prayer of the good
man when agitated by any passion. He tain
would speak to God, and his words are of this
earth, earthly; he would look to his Maker,
but he could not help seeing also, that which
distracted him, and tempest was raised and
the man overruled; his prayer broken, and
his thoughts were troubled, and his words as
cended to the clouds, and the wandering of
his Imagination recalled them, and in all the
fuctuating varieties of passion they arc never
like to reach God at all But he sits him
down and signs over his ipfrmity, and fixes
his thoughts upon things above, and torgets
all little vain passages of this life, and his spiI-
it is becalmed, and his soul is even and still,
and then it softly and sweetly ascends to
heaven on the wings of the Holy Dove, and
dwells with God, till it returns, like the useful
bee, loaded with q blessing and the dew of
heaven.-Jerenly Taylor.

LOVE OF LIFE NATURAL.-Death is al
ways looked upon as one whose presence we
would avert. True, when sickness is upon us
and we know that we must die, and we have
that true faith which is Of God, through
Christ, we may become reconcied to death, or
triumph over it; but this is not the natural
condition of man, or that which belongs to
him as being of this world. And this desire
ior life, this love of it, was implanted in us by
our great Creator, and given, doubtless,
among other things, that life may be properly
preserved.-Rec. Y. b, Stevenson

Purity.

Fuf1ty.
The atmosphere is sometimes in such a pc
culiar state that the spectator, on coast or
shore, looking abroad over the sea, can not
tell where the water ends and the sky begins
and as if some magician had raised them out
of their proper element, and turned their sails
into wings, the ships seem floating in mid-air
But occasionally no line of separation is more
difficult to draw than that which lies between
what is right and what is wrong. Whether
such and such business or amusement, pur-
suit or pleasure, is wrong, and one, therefore,
In which no christian should engage, is
question that, SO far as the thing itself is con-
cerned, may be difficult to answer. But it is
not difficult to answer, so far as you are con-
cerned, if you doubt whether it is right The
apostolic rule is, Let every man be fully per-
suaded in his own mind; and unless you are
so, then, "what is not of faith is sin"-sin at
least to you. Whatever others may feel them
selves at liberty to do, if you are not satisfied
in your own mind and conscience that the
thing is right, that the pursuit, or pleasure, or
enjoyment, is lawful, it may be right for 9th
ers, but it is wrong for you to do it. Hence
the Word of God says, He who doubteth is
damned! not that he is damned in the COM
mon sense of that terrible expression; not
that he is damned to hell; but that he is con-
victed, condemned of wrong-doing, in doing
budU WHICH, he Is uOI sure Is flgnC.
In regard to- the lawfulness of certain pur-
suits, pleasures, and amusements, it is impos-
sible to lay down any fixed and general rule;
but we may confidently say, that whatever is
found to unfit you for religious duties, or to
interfere with the performance of them; what
ever dissipates your mind, or cools the fervor
of your devotion; whatever indisposes you to
read your Bible, or engage in prayer; where
ever the thought of bleeding Saviour, or a
holy God, of the hour of death, or of the day
of Judgment, falls like cold shadow on
your enjoyment; the pleasure which you can
not thank God for, on which you cannot ask
his blessing, whose recollections will haunt a
dying bed, and plant sharp thorns in its IN
easy pillow,-these are not for you. Never
90 where you cannot ask God to go with you !;
never be found where you would not like
death to find you; never indulge in any plea
sure which will not bear the mornings refec-
tion. Keep youlself unspotted from the
world! not from its spots only, but even from
its suspicions.-G Guthrie.
