DESPONDENCY.
BY 4. d. W ALkER.

Much has heen written and said upon
this subject, but what we call " low
spirits is very frequently the result of
bodily weakness or disease. People,
with few exceptions, love to be cheerful,
and do not have to hear sermons and
lectures upon the subject to appreciate
cheerfulness.
But these lraI bodies are easily put
out of tune, and dependency is very
apt to accompany the small ills which
seem but light, and for which we find
but little sympathy. When Elijah sat
down under the juniper tree in great
dependency, so great that he longcd to
die, the angel of the Lord did not say,
Hoitv, toity! man, you give up too
easily; dependency is dreadful thing,
never give way to it, No, the Lord
is too wise a physician for that. He
knew that the prophet was suffering
from bodily weakness and WEAKNESS.
The good man was allowed to rest, first
of all mark that. Sleep and rest are
often all that is needed to cure low
spirits. Then a miraculous meal was
prepared, and the angel touched the
sleeper and said, "Arise, and eat, for
the journey is too great for thee" How
sympathizing and tender were these
words? Elijah did according to this
bidding, and We have no more com
plants Of that kind from him. Now,
Just here is the secret in numbers Of
cases where dependency holds sway
The journey is too great for thee. =
The tolls and cares press so heavily that
the mortal frame is out order, and de-
spondency is the result. Well, then, it
| follows that the way to be cheerful is
to do all in our power to be we'll in
bod7. Avoid over-fatiguc, taking too
much thought forthe morrow, grumbling
and brooding, and anything that is hurt
full to the physical nature And now,
in conclusion, we add, that the greatest
cheerfulncss is induced by firm trust
! in the Lord. And when the journey is
necessarily too great for thee, the angel
will come and give thee meat that shall
strengthen for many days.

FRIGHTENING Nothing
can be worse for child than to he
frightened. The effect of the scare it
is slow to recover from 1t remains
sometimes until maturity, as is shown
by many instances Of morbid sensitive
ness and excessive nervousness. Not
unfrequently fear is employed as a
means of discipline Children are con-
trolled by being made to believe that
something terrible will happen to them,
and punished by being shut up in dark
rooms, or by being put in dark places
they stand in dread of. No one with
out vivid memory of his own childhood
can comprehend how entirely cruel such
things are. We have often heard grown
persons tell the sui1crings they have
endured, as Children under like circum-
stances, and recount the irreparable in
jury which they are sure they then re-
cclved. No parent, no nurse, capable
Of alarming the young, is fitted for the
position. Children, as near as posi-
bic, should be trained not to know the
sense Of fear, which, above every thing
else, is to be feared in their education,
early and late

" Where Are YOur Sins :"

a young girl came to see her pastor
with regard to the welfare of her soul.
Are You saved 2" he asked, cor are
you only trying to be saved ?"
q | am trying" she sadly replied
How are you trying?'
a am praying, and reading the
Bible, and going to church, and striving
to keep the commandments
How are you succeeding?"
Not very well, she sorrowfullv an
.swered.
Do YOU not see that in all this try
ing you are leaving Christ out as truly
as if there We're no Saviour who has
come down from heaven to deliver US
from sin and all its dreadful conse-
quences -
30, | believe in Christ" she quickly
responded.
You do? Let us see. Do YOU
believe that Christ died upon the
cross?"
Yes, know it
How do you know it? You were
not there to see him die
Il know it because God saws so in
His word"
DO YOU believe, then, whatever God
says in His word ~
Yes, sir"
"Well, why did Christ die upon the
cross?'
He died for our sins"
You are correct, for God SAYS over
and over again that He died for our
sins. Your sins were upon Him, there
fore, when He was nailed to the cross,
were they 7"
Yes, sir
Where is Christ now?''
He is up in heaven"
You are right again, for God re-
peatedly tells US this in His word Are
your sins upon Him.
mo, sir"
"Observe, your sins were upon Him
once when He was nailed to the cross,
and to-day He is in heaven without
them. Where are your sins!
She looked down for few moments
in deep thought, and then, raising her
eyes, sweet smile played over her
face as she said, They must be in His

SNNY1R41 years, with a con-

intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re-
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to Children, and yet SO searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphiltic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system

dote and disappear. Hence its wonderful

LeucOrrhea, when they are manifesto

1t is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless Ian

for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and new lease Of
