Growing Old.

A man may die at three-score and ten, and
die all too early for his eternal peace. lie
has not wrought the will of God. On the
other hand, a child may drop out of life, and
not too soon it had more true wisdom than
the man of many years. The prediction of
the prophet may be fulfilled And the child
shall die an hundred years old" Years of
time are not the measure of life The truest
life brings eternity into its embrace. There
is a depth and broadness about it which time
cannot span. think can imagine the feel
ings of a man when the consciousness that
age is creeping on first impresses itself upon
him, when he says for the first time, " am
getting old; the morning of life is all gone
the best part is past; | am on the down-hill
side of life-only the remnant remains" A
sad moment for him who lives for this world.
Living for the world and the world going
| from him-the best part gone. The idol
| slipping from his grasp while the worshiper
| still clutches it and has nothing besides.
| Whitening for the grave, and yet life's real
work undone, not even begun the very pur-
pose for which God put him into the world
cast aside. A sad state Nothing more sad.
What solemn, dreary things must birthdays
be to such man so many strokes of the
death-knell heard beforehand. But oh, not
sad to the ChriStidn to grow old. Listen to
what the late Dr. Guthrie said of his ad-
vancing years They say | am growing old
because my hair is silvered and there are
crows'-feet upon my forehead, and my step is
not so firm and elastic as of yore. But they
are mistaken. That is not me, The brow
is wrinkled but the brow is not me. This
is the house in which | live; but | am

Lord Br0ugham on Good Breeding.

The same observations which were made
on the arts are applicable TO certain refine
ment Of manners, which is common to all
civilized states, but which, perhaps arises
in despotic countries at an earlier stage of
society. This refinement, in itself, is of lit
tie merit or value, if, indeed, it is not rather
TO be accounted defect. Its chief charac-
teristic is luxurious indulgences of various
kinds, and a polteness which consists so
much in suppression of the natural feelings
that it is nearly akin to falsehood. Never
to say anything that may give pain, unless
where our duty requires it, is rule of sound
morals as well as good manners. But never
to say anything which those present may dis
like, nay, from which they may dissent, is
the rule of refined and courtly breeding
Absolute command of countenance and fig
ure, calm, placid department, uubroken ease
sustained dignity, habtual smiles, indis-
criminate respect; nay, the semblance Of
esteem or even love for everything that ap-
proaches and the taking a ready interest in
whatever concerns every one, but showing
none at all in what regards ourselves merely
these are the constituents of highly refined
and courtly manners and these imply such
an unnatural suppression of feelings such
an habitual restraint upon the emotions Of
every kind such a false position of the
mind at all times, as is most easily learnt
under the sway and the dread of despotic
prince or his provincial representative. Ac-
cordingly the manners of the orentals are
known to be polite to an extravagant de-
gree while there is n want of polish in the
subjects of free state which has made the
roughness OF a republican almost proverbial.

Casting all Your Care Upon Him.

How much the anXieties of life are in
creased by forgetting the little, but compre-
hensive word "dN" of the text What
father might not learn lesson from his
child, with whom he is starting for jour
ney. His little boy says, " Father, you will
have to carry the big bag, | cannot and
will carry the little one" The strong father
smiles, and says, | think you had better
let me carry both" They start. After a
few minutes, the little bag becomes great
burden, and the child, overheated and weary,
says, " Father you had better take the little
bag too" One of the greatest lessons Of
life is for a child of God to let his Heavenly
Father carry every burden 10 cast all his
care upon Him. Little trials are a Chris
tian's great temptation. " BE careful for
nothing; but in everything, by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your re-
quests be made known unto God" Truly"
says Archbishop Leighton, the godly are
much in the wrong to themselves by not I'M
proving this, their sweet privilege. They
too often forget this, their sweet way, and
fret themselves to no purpose; wrestle with
their burthens themselves and do not en-
tirely and freely roll them orer on God."
Many a man who never doubts Gods care
of the whole church, to the minutest par
ticular, is tempted to distrust Gods interest
in the little things that concern his own
daily life Christian Treasury,

Then his pride was up, and he said, "No,

The Rich Man a Pauper.

\ friend of mine in America went to see
Jacob Strong, the great farmer, during the
war, TO try 10 get some money for the Door
soldiers. After dinner my friend was taken
by him up TO the cupola on the top of his
house, and he said to him Reynolds, look
over yonder, as far as your eye can reach.
There is no finer land in the Mississippi
valley than that land and that is all mine.
! came out West a poor boy, and have
earned all this property by my own energy
and effort" Then he took him to another
view from the cupola, and pointed out farms
and pastures for thirty miles around, with
large herds of cattle and sheep grazing, and
he said "Ihese are all mine" And then
he took him to another view, and showed
him farm after farm, all stocked and i'm
proved and he said: Those farms are all
mine" And then he took him to another
view, and showed a town where he lived.
There was a great hall named after him
there were great blocks of buildings, and
there We're shops, and he said "All these
are mine" Then my friend said, "Well,
what have you got up there z" And the
mans couutenance fell; he knew what my
friend meant, but he said, Where 2" My
friend said, "What have you got in heaven ?'

lating this wealth, but you will die beggar
and enter eternity pauper." "Well,' said
the old man, "it does look foolish" -Four

For Each Day Of the Seven.

Fbsi-It is good 10 take up and bear the
cross, whatever it may be, which God sees
fit to impose. But it is not good and not
safe 10 make crosses of our own-and by an
act Of our own choice to impose upon our
selves burdens which God does not require
and does not authorize Such a course al
wavs implies either faith too weak or a
viii too strong; either a fear 10 trust Gods
way, or a desire to have our own way.
Second-lIere is the ground ofinfnite pa
tence. Patience not to submit 10 what is
inevitable, because, we cannot help our
selves but the patience Of sure and joyful
hope. Wait on the Lord be of good cour-
age, aud lie shall strengthen thy heart wait,
/ say, on the Lord"
Third" The kingdom Of heaven is at
hand" Not that any time is near or any
succession Of events but that each man has
at hand and may attain for himself that self
command and obedience to God which
makes up heaven or the kingdom Of heaven.
" The kingdom OF heaven Is within you
My kingdom is not of this world
Fourth ri-God is especially present, in the
hearts Of His people, by His Holy Spirit and
indeed the hearts Of holy men are temples
in the truth of things, and, in type and
shadow, they are heaven itself. For God
reigns in the hearts Of Ills servants there is
His Kingdom. The power Of grace hath sub
dued all His enemies there is His power
They serve Him night and day, and give
Him thanks and praise that is His glory.
This is the religion and worship Of God in
the temple The temple itself is the heart
Of man.
.FUM-Labor is not the result of sin. 1t is
not a curse sent upon man for transgressing a
law. For the Diety Himself toiled, in the same
account that tells us of the fall Of man and
before the fall, Adam was placed in the gar
den to dress it. The toll that followed sin,
and that still follows it, must have been un-
successful toil-the toll Of a wicked soul for
peace, the struggle Of the misery for salts
fation, the struggle Of the vain for the per-
feet qualification of vanity, and the general
labor of all the wicked toward results that
never should come.
SndA-The resting days Of Christians aud
festivals of the church must in no sense be
days of ideness, for it is better TO plow upon
holy days than to do nothing, or to do
yiciously but let them be spent in the works
Of the day, that is, Of religion and charity
SsrenM-Let everything you see represent
TO your spirit the presence, the excellency
aud the power of God and let your conyer.
sation with the creatures lead you unto the
Creator; for so shall your actions be done
more frequently with an actual eye to Gods
presence by your often seeing Him in the
glass of the creation.

The Silver BelIs.

In Eastern poetry they tell of a wondrous
tree, on which grew golden apples and silver
bells and every time the breeze went by
and tossed the fragrant branches, shower
of these golden apples fell and the living
bells chimed and tinkled forth their airy
ravishment. On the gospel tree there grow
melodious blossoms sweeter bells than
those which mingle with the pomegranates
on Aaron's vest holy feelings, heaven-taught
joys; aud when the wind bloweth where he
listeth the south wind waking, when the
Holy Spirit breathes upon that SOUL there is
the shaking down of mellow fruits, and the
flow of healthy odors all around, and the
gush of sweetest music, where gentle tones
and joyful echoings are waited through the
recesses of the soul. Not easily explained
TO others, and too ethereal TO define, these
joys are, on that account, but the more de
lightful. The sweet sense Of forgiveness ;
the conscious exercise of all the devout af-
fections, and the grateful and adoring emo
tions Godward the lull Of sinful passions
itself ecstatic music an exulting sense of
the security of the well-ordered covenant F;
the gladness of surety, righteousness, and
the kind spirit of adoption, encouraging to
say, Abba, Father !" all the delightful feel
ing which the Spirit of God increases or
creates, and which are summed up in that
comprehensive word, "Joy in the Holy
Ghost. ."-Dr. lanes Hamilton.
