Worldly Miudedness.

What is the reason that many know
their shops better than their hearts, and
are acquainted with the temper of their
body more than with the constitution
of their souls; that they are so careful
and industrious in the prosecution of
their worldly designs, so negligent and
remiss in looking after heaven? What
is, or can be, the reason of these things,
but that inOrdinate love and affection
they have for money, or the things of
this world, which makes them so eager
in the pursuit of them, that they forget
they have anything else to mind and
so much taken up with worldly bust
ness, that God and Christ, and heaven
and soul, and all, must give way to it {?
o, the folly and madness of sinful men
What strange, corrupt and degeneI-
ate thing is the heart of man become,
that we should be so foolish and unwise
as to prefer our bodies before our souls,
earth before heaven, toys and TITLES
before the eternal God, and the worst
of evils before the best of goods, even
sin itself, with all the miseries that at
tend it, before holiness and that eternal
happiness which is promised to it and
all for nothing else than the love of a
little pelf and trash, which hath no
other worth but what our own distract
ed fancies put upon it Bishop Beu-

The Queen and the Sabbath.

A correspondent writes to the Leeds
Mercury :-"On one occasion Her Ma
jesty had invited distinguished guests
to dine at Windsor Castle. 1t was
therefore necessary that the Court band
should prepare itself to perform special
selections of music. The pieces chosen
were difficult, the time for practice lin
tied, and the leader, declaring that he
could not afford to lose a day, summon
ed the men to meet for rehearsal on
the Sunday. There were two Germans
in the band, named Schrader and Gehr-
mann, who were Wesleyan Methodists,
and whose consciences would not allow
them to spend the Lords day in must
cal rehearsal. They told their scruples
to the leader who, however, perempto-
rily ordered them to be present on paiu
of instant dismissal from the band.
They did not hesitate moment. On
the Monday morning, on presenting
themselves at their quarters, the leader,
iii violent language, ordered them to be
gone. The poor fellows walked sadly
away, and not far from Windsor met
the Bishop of London driving to the
Castle. Stopping the carriage on their
signal, he heard their tale, and prom
ised to speak for them to the Queen.
Before the day was over the leader of
the band was summoned into Her Ma
jesty's presence. The Queen inquired
what had become of the two German
Methodists, one of whom, as being one
of the best trombone players in the
country, was a favOrite at Court. The
leader explained that he could not al
low absurd religious scruples' to stand
in the way of a soldiers duty. The
Queen at once gave commands that the
men be Immediately restored to their
posts, and added, 4 will have NO more
persecution in my service for conscience
sake, and l will have no more rehears-
ais on Sunday.'"- Mercury.

with the sledge, the tramps are taken

PAY Your DEBTs.-Clean hands in
matters of money among the young,
certainly ought to be the Indispensable
condition of gentlemanliness. No man
who berrews and does not pay, and
does not care whether he pays or not,
is gentleman, no matter how witty,
or gay, or fine he may be. To speak
in good plain English, the man who
dresses himself at anOther's expense,
not knowing how to pay, nor caring
whether he pays, is genteel scoundrel !
and yet such things are done by good
natured folk, by kind-hearted people,
by persons who never probe them NOR
ally to ascertain what their tendency is,
and what they lead to,

Shiftlessness.

81 have often been struck with one
fact,n said 1. ga man will come and
ask for work. He is apparently very
anxious about it. He tells me he has
been out of employment for a month.
| tell him to come in the morning and
help us to draw out manure. He seems
relieved, and replies: q cannot come
tomorrow, but will come the next day.
l have several things | must do to-mor-
row. Out of curiosity l sometimes ask
him what he. has to do. And he will
tell me he has wood to saw and split,
or something to do about the house
something he could have done days and
weeks before. / will not call the man
idle, for he will work well when he gets
at it. The only trouble is, that he has
not energy enough to set himself to
work, and the less he has to do the
greater is the disinclination to do it.
1t is better to work for nothing than to
be idle. do not know how it is in the
cities and villages, but in the country l
would be willing to send copy of the
American Cultivator for year to any
married man, who has house of his
own, who can honestly say there is
nothing he can find to do-no wood to
saw and split, no kindlings to get, no
pump to repair, no doors or windows
or gates that need little fixing; moth
ing about the barn or outhouses OF yard
or garden, that cannot be done to ad-
vantage; no trees to prune, no paths
to shovel, nothing that needs doing
about the pig-pen or the hen-house; no
chairs to mend, no pail or barrel with
hoops to tighten, no cellar that needs
cleaning and whtewashing. If such a
man can be found, who is out of en-
ployment, would like his photograph"
