THE SEASON OF LENT.

Among the many episodes in the
life of our Saviour to which Chris
tians in all parts of the world look
with awe and veneration, there is
none which receive more general
substantial remembrance than the
forty days in the wilderness. The
commemoration Of the sacrifice in be-
half of mankind, was instituted, &C
cording to most of the fathers Of the
fourth and fifth centuries, by the Apos
ties, although many Protestant wri-
ters claim that il was not inaugura
ted until the second or third century
of the Christian era. However that
may be, il is certain that as early as
the beginning Of the second century
the observance Of the Lenten fast
was made obligatory. The origion
of the word lent is uncertain some
writers claiming its derivation from
lencten q Saxon word meaning length

man lenten, to thaw, because the sea.

the time when the days lengthen.---
The general mode of observance i'll

throughout the world, but there are
various notifications of the rules pre-
scribed in different countries The
season commences with the festival
of Ash Wednesday, called by the faith.
ers of the church capat jcjunmii, begin

for the tributations endured by our

LAYING Up FOR CHILDREN. Parental
affection naturally inquiries what it
can best do for the welfare of its chill
dren in future years, and when the
bosom that now throbs with love to
it's offspring shall be cold in death.
Many plans are laid, and many hours
of anxious solicitude are spent in con-
triving ways and means of rendering
children prosperous AMI happy in fu-
ture life. But parents are not always
wise in the provisions they seek to
make for their children nor do they
always seek direction and counsel
from God in this matter The best
inheritance for children, beg ond all
contradiction, is true piety tswards
God, the salutary truths and pEinci-
Piles of religion laid up in the hearts
of the ,children-a good education
good and virtuous habits-unbending
principles of moral conduct--the fear
of God, and the hope of Heaven
This is the inheritance for children,
duu "HASu Oil pdicuLo cuoulu Uc uLoSG
anxious to lay up for them.
Many an unwise parent works hard
and lives sparingly all his life, for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children start in the world, as it is
called. Setting a young man afoat
with money left him by his relatives,
is like tying bladders under the aru.s
of one who cannot swim ten chan
ces to one he will lose the bladders,
or 60 to the bottom. Teach him to
swim, and he will not need the blad-
ders.
Give your children sound educs-
ton. See to it that his morals are
pure, mis- mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made subservent to the
laws which govern man, and you
have given what will be more valu.
able than the wealth of the Indies
You have given him start which nc
misfortune eau deprive him Of The
earlier you teach him to depend upon
his own resources and the blessings
of God the better.

Bf JOHN e. WHITTIER.
The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made, and praise is given,
By all things near and far
The ocean looketh up to heaven,
And mirrors every star.
Its waves are kneeling on the strand,
As kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowling to the sand,
The priesthood of the sea!
They pour their glittering treasures forth,
Their gifts Of pearl they bring,
And all the listening hills of earth
Take up the song they sing.
The green earth sends her incense up
From many a mountain shrine;
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer
The altar curtains of the hills
Are sunsets purple art.
The winds with hymns of praise are loud,
Or low with sobs of pain,
The thunder-organ of the cloud,
The dropping tears of rain.
With dropping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues of Pentecost
From all its sunlit leaves.
The blue sky is the temples arch,
Its transept earth and air,
The music of its starry march
The chorus Of prayer.
So nature keeps the reverent frame
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The prayerless heart of man.
