The Worlds Sheer Answered.

In letter to Sir Horace Mann,
Horace Walpole wrote:-"Young
friend Doddington is 40 reduced as ia
be relasping into virtue" This was
no doubt suggested by the common
say ing, that the last resource of peo.
pie who have became disappointed
with the world is to turn saint. A
great preacher has answered the sneer
in these words "Let the world cur
its lip if it will, when it sees through
the causes of the prodigal's return. If
affections crushed in early life have
driven one man to God if wrecked
and ruined hopes have made another
man religious; if want of success in O
profession has broken the spirit if the
human life lived out too passionately
has left a surfeit and carving behind
which end in seriousness ; if one is
brought by the sadness of a widowed
life, and another by the forced desola.
ton of involuntary single life; if, when
the mighty famine comes into the
heat and not q husk is left, not q
pleasure untried, then, and not until
then, the remorseful resolve is made
Il will rise, and 60 to my Father =
we'll, brethren, what then? Why,
this that the history of penitence
produced, as it so often is, by mere
disappointment, sheds only brighter
lustre round the love of Christ. Who
rejoices to receive such wanderers,
worthless as they are, back into His
bosom."

Young Peoples Tongues.

Many of our troubles are the resul
of our own actions. The larger hal
of these troubles comes from the i'm
proper use of our tongues. The rOya
poet was aware of this in his day
"Come, We children, hearken unto me
I will teach you the fear of the Lord
What man is he that desireth life
and loveth many days, that he may
see good? Keep thy tongue from
evil, and thy lips from speaking guile
Even the meekest man, Moses, spake
unadvisedly with his lips, and in con
sequence was debarred from entering
upon the promised land.
There is common fault which is
fruitful source of evil. 1t is MT re.
garded 80 base as lying or slander, but
it is nevertheless great evil. I mean
the taking up of evil reports against
our neighbors. These reports may
have some foundation in fact, or they
may be sheer fabrications; but we can
not handle them without injury tc
ourselves-without staining our char
acters and regulations. "Keep thy
tongue from evil" is the only safe
rule for ourguidance. We wish not thai
others may speak evil of US; we must
not speak evil of them. The tongue
is an unruly member, and needs care
full watching. Happy is the man OF
woman that keepeth the tongue from
evil and the lips from speaking guile
There is no better evidence of magnan
nifty and self-controle; and "greatel
is he that ruleth his spirit than he
that taketh CITY,"

where we neither understood the Ian
guage not the customs of the inhab.
itants, and were treated by them with
reproach and cruelty, do you think
we should not esteem it happiness
that We could unburden ourselves to
each other, and communicate oul
griefs and troubles? And shall we
think it less so while we are in such q
world as this, in a strange land, ant
at distance from our Fathers house

Said the late w. B. O. Peabody:
"Christ meant that His religion should
endure; and therefore He would not
write it with an iron pen in the rock
forever; he choose rather to have it in
craven on the only immortal thing in
this worldland that is the heart of man.
Did you ever stop to think what inn
mortal means, and what shall be the
existence of your own soul. in conf
parison with that marble building,
that pyramid of Egypt, or the sun and
moon themselves? Even in our poor
short lives here on earth we can see
how q personality outlasts kingdom
or a city; what shall we not see perish
in the eternal years which lie before
the immortal soul!
