The Scottish Martyrs.


Their "life was hid with Christ in God"
They habitually "saw Him who is invisible. "
They fed on the "hidden MAMMA heav-
enly and immortal food. Like the steeds of
Achilles, no pabulum less than celestial
touched their spiritual palates. 1t was this
which supported them in the moors, and
gave them in solitudes and on scaffolds meat
to eat of which their enemies knew not
In a manner we can hardly even now con-
ceive, they seem to have realized God in all
their ways, and to have felt that His word
was nigh them. His awe was as shadow
along their path. His love was felt like
another mantle around their chilled and
covering frames. They renewed, in many
points, the Hebrews feeling of His Maker.
No need Of demonstrating a God to them,
or of demonstrating Him to others. This
process process in itself impossible, they
never even attempted to perform. They
lived, moved, and had their being in God
Every shadow or sunbeam which fell on them
was that of the Great Whole. He watched
over their slumber; he was the real guard
upon their mountain,top, he delivered them
out of the hand of their enemies, and some.
times he delivered their enemies into their
hands. 1t is curious how the religion of the
Jews has rooted itself more deeply in Scot.
land than in any other quarter of the globe;
how this fiery exotic of torrid cline has
fourished best in the land of mist and snow
Many reasons might be assigned for this
Both countries, amid their divorsities of eli.
mate, are mountain lands, full of bold, rocky
scenery, of ravines and of rivers, and with
lakes reposing in the midst of barren noun
tains, and with rich wales alternating with
gloomy desolation.
Owing partly to their scenery, and partly
to their poverty and insulation, both the He.
brews and the Scotch have been thought
full people, inclined to religion, awe-strucE
by the visible phenomena of the universe
and fond of looking at things in their great
masses. More of the analytic element has
gradually indeed been developed from the
Scottish mind, but the fragments of Celtic
and border poetry which are extant, serve
to prove striking original resemblance be-
tween the genius of the two nations, which
in both was bold, fgurative, lyrical, and
fonder of the rude sublime than of the deli
cate and the beautiful. Hence one reason
of the ready and warm reception with which
Christianity was welcomed in Scotland, the
tenacity with which it has been retained, and
the deep and solemn coloring with which il
has tinged the popular mind. Hence, too
the reason why the spirit of the Old Testa
ment has met with profOunder respons,

The Two Prayers.

% Two hands upon the breast,
And labor is done;
Two pale feet crossed in rest,
The race is won;
Two eyes with eOin.weights shut,
And all tears cease;
Two lips where grief is mute,
And wrath at peace"
So pray we ofentimes, mourning our lot,
God in his kindness, answereth not.
''TwO hands to work ADDRESSED,
Aye for His praise;
Two feet that never rest,
Walking His ways;
Two eyes that look above,
Still through all tears;
Two lips that breathe but love,
Never more fears"
SO we cry afterwards low at our knees,
Pardon those erring prayersl Father, hear the

HARD WoRK.-No doubt hard work is a
great police-agent. If every body were
worked from morning till night, and then
carefully locked up, the register of crimes
might be greatly diminished. But what
would become of human nature? Where
would be the room for growth in such sys.
TEN of things? 1t is through sorrow and
mirth, plenty and want, variety of passing
circumstances, and temptations, even through
sin and misery, that mems natures are de-
veloped.

ASLEEP IN JESUS.
WRITTEN FOR FRIEND on THE DEATH OF HER SISTER

I.
Cease thy weeping, Christian sister,
Look upon the farther shore
With an eye of faith, and whisper,
"She has only gone before,
She viii meet me,
When the ocean-storm is O 'erp'
II.
Thou art lonely, Oh how lonely!
Days are sad without her here,
Every winding in ifes pathway
Brings some sadden'd mem'ry near
Weary longings,
Start afresh the bitter tearl
When, An when, viii shadows leave US
When these frequent partings cease?
An ! we know they'll not be over
TIL we reach the port Of peacei
OH the brightness
Of that morning of released
".
Oh how sad to see them nearing
One by one the swelling tide;
Some We love are daily crossing
Many on the other side;
But, with Jesus,
All the bloOd-wash'd shall abide

Soon Wen see the Heavenly morning,
When the evening shadows hee-
Soon wen see the glory dawniug
