CHOICE SAYING.

The following words of wisdom are from Matth'
ew Henry, the learned English Biblical comment
ator
Divine vengeance comes with feet Of lead, but
1t strikes with hands Of iron.
Men die like lambs and yet have their places
w'tN .he goats.
II is common for those who are farthest from
God to boast themselves most Of living near the
church.
Events are not determined by the wheel of for
tune, which is blind, but by the wheels OF ProYi,
denCe, which are full Of eyes.
reckon him Christian, indeed, who is neither
ashamed OF the gospel nor q shame to 1t.
Nature is content with little, grace with less
but lust with nothing.
Gods presence with man in his house, though
1t be but cottage, makes that house both castle
and palace.
Length of days is wlSdOm's right hand Of bless
Ing typical OF eternal life; but 1t is In her left
hand that are riches and honor.
Itis good to be early at our devodons. The
morning is as good friend to the graces as 1t is
to the muses..
We ought 10 know the Scriptures as the physi.
clan does his dispensatory, the lawyer his books
of reports, aud the sailor his charts and compass
Gods laws were never designated to be like
cobwebs, which catch the little flies, but suffer
the large ones to break through,
Venture not into the company of those that are
infected with the plague, no, mot though think
thyself guarded with an antidote,
And when we are in prosperity we are ready to
think our mountain will never be brought low, so
when we are in adversity we are ready to think
our valley will never be filed up.
When Christ was about to leave the world, he
made his will his soul he bequeathed to his Fa-
ther, his body he bequeathed to Joseph, to be de-
Gently buried his clothes fell to his soldiers, his
mother he left to the care of John but what
should he leave to his poor disciples that had left
all for him7 Silver and gold he had. none but
he left them that which was indefinitely better,
