The Pr0dlgal.


1nheritors Of vast wealth are proyerbiallv
mine, refined, and coined, by the labor OF
other hands and the sweat Of other brows.
Like children playing with an expensive toy,
they can form no just estimate OF its value.
When the donor weighed it, he cast into the
balance 80 many days OF unremitting and ia
tiGulng toll, so many anxious and sleepless
nights, 80 much selt-denial, and 80 much care
But the inheritor into his balance throws only
pleasure. The one, values it by what it
chase. Like the prodigal in the Scripture par
able, he thoughtlessly expends it to crafty
the caprice and cravings of his nature. Then
comes the lastscene--the misery the remorse.
and the long and wearisome journey back to
the home OF frugal industry. But there are
other prodigals. On her tavorites our boun-
teous parent, Nature, has lavished her richest
lightly, tor it cost him naught, and recklessly
squanders it in riotous living: Present pleas.
ures obscures future want Soon the curtain
rises on the last scene We see him helpless,
impoverished, the rich treasures OF body and
mind all lost, in misery and despair. Re.
morseless Conscience holds up to him the
mirror of memory. In his own reckless folly
he Gerceives the cause OF his present pain. He
resolves to return. The journey is long and
tedious, but if he perseveringly follows tn
right road, he will at length see the haven Of
his hopes in the distance, and Nature, seeing
her invalid child afar of, will come out t.
meet him, and receive him back with love
and blessing. To find the right road home.

among the Shakers of Watervliet, we

from Col. W. S. Church. Making my

to dinner of which himself and Horace
