When the summer of youth is slowly wasting
away on the night-fal of age, and the shadow
of the past becomes deeper and deeper, as life
wears to its close it is pleasant TO look through
the vista OF time upon the sorrows and felc-
ties of our earliest years. II we have home
shelter, and hearts TO rejoice with US, andiriends
have been gathered together around our fire
sides, then the rough place of wayfaring will
have been worn and smoothed away, in the
twilight of life, while the many spots we have
passed through will grow brighter and
more beautiful. Happy, indeed, are they
whose intercourse with the world has not
changed the tone of their holier feelings, or
broken those musical chords OF the heart whose
vibrations are so melodious, so tender and touch

4 SCoTCHMAN's SERMON son MODERATION"
A Scotch parson once preached long sermon
against dram-drinking, vice prevalent in his
parish, and from which, report said, he was
not free himself:


"What ever you do, brethren, do il with
moderation, and above all be moderate in dram
drinking. When ye get up, indeed, ye may
take dram, and anither after: but dinua be
always dram-drnking. II We are out in the
morn, yon may Just brace yourself up with
anther dram, and perhaps take ami ther before
luncheon, and some I fear, take one after,
which is not so blamabe but dinna be
always dram-dramming away.

after it is ta'en away and perhaps ane, or it

to KEEP you from drowsylng or snozzllng ];
but dnna be always dran-drinking. Afore
tea and after tea, and between tea and supper,
is no more then right and good, but let me
caution We brethren not to be always dram
drammng. Just when ye start for bed, and
when We are ready TO pop intot, to take a
dram or twa is no more than Christian may
lawfully do but brethren, let me caution you
not TO drink more than I've mentioned, or may
be we may pass the bounds OF moderation"
