Tilton & Co., Boston, is a specimen of the admirable manner in which the author commends the most important scriptural and evangelical truth to very youthful readers.--Ens,] In the night God spoke again to Abraham. He spoke terrible words this time. He told Abraham to take Isaac, his dear son, whom he loved so much, and go with him a long way from home, to the top of a high mountain, and build an altar, aid kill Isaac, and offer him for a burnt offering. Could Abra ham do this? It does not seem as if he could. But you know he had always obeyed God instantly. Would he now? The Bible says, 44 And Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and °lave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of whic h God bad told him." Yea, Abraham would obey God perfectly. He did not hesitate. He did not loiter. He did not wait till late in the afternoon. He rose up early in the morning and went. He did not, probably, tell Sarah where he was going, or what he was going to do. Isaac knew his father was going to offer an offering to the Lord, for he saw the wood and all the preparations. They were to journey three days. It was a sorrowful time for Abraham; but Isaac!, I suppose, talked pleasantly along with his father and the servants, little thinking what was to come. At last, on the third day, they saw a mountain in the dietance, and Abraham know that was the plane. Then he stopped, and took the wood . and laid it on Isaac's shoulders, and he took fire and a knife in his hand; and they went on, telling the servants to wait until they came back. As they were walking along together, Isaac spoke to his father, "My father, behold the fire and the wood; but lad An* 'C . ...-. ISM-Ta Car Ari VL--- -U7 4 father did not tell him. He said, "My son, God they niwseit at murk, Dor et wurutrofrerliigr — So they went silently on, until they came to the top of the mountain. Do you know what mountain that was ? It was called Moriah. On that mountain the city of Je rusalem was afterwards built, and there Jesus, our . Saviour, the Lamb of God, was crucified. When they reached the top, Abraham and Isaac heaped up Stones, and made an altar, and then Abraham told Isaac that he was to be Sod's lamb, He bound his hands and feet with cords, and laid him on the wood. How could Abraham do se? Because be loved and trusted God so entirely, that he would do anything God bade him. How could Isaac let his father bind him and kill him, without saying a word? Because he bad always been taught to obey his father and his father's God, without a question. Why did God try Abraham so, and tell him to do so dreadful a thing? I will try to ex plain this to yon. God wished to teach Abraham more about himself than he had ever known yet. Just as Abraham was lifting up the knife to kill Imo, God spoke to him, and told him to atop. "Lay not thy hand upon the lad," he said, "neither do thou anything unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou bast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me." So Abraham unbound Isaac, and offered a sheep, that he found near by, which God had sent there on purpose. It was caught by its horns in a•bush. Then God spoke again with Abraham, and pro mised to bless him with the richest blessings, be cause he had trusted him so perfectly. I suppose, too, that God now showed to Abraham the things that would come to pass in that mountain. I suppose he told him that he would sonic day give hie only Son, his well beloved Son, to die a cruel death, on that very spot, for the salvation of sin ners. As Isaac went up the mountain, carrying the wood, so would God's precious Son carry th e e heavy cross. As Abraham himself lifted th'e knife to slay his darling child, so God would permit wicked men to kill his holy Son, and would seem to be cruel to him, and all this he would do so that sinners might be forgiven, and made holy, and fit for heaven. 0, how good is God I how wonderfully good I And Abraham, hearing this, could not be sorry that he had suffered so those three sad days, for he had learned a great deal of the kindness and mercy that is in the heart of God. He had obeyed God, too, and • had been blessed for it. And after all, he was not going home alone, to tell Sarah , that she bad now no child. No; Ism was going with him, alive and well. I don't think Abraham ever wished he had been spared that trial. We may always obey God, and trust him, for be always loves us, and is seeking our good. He means only kindness when he tries us most se verely. You may trust him to save your precious soul, and forgive your sins, for he loves you so much that he gave his Son to die for you. Your mothers may give you to him without a fear. He has been planning your heavenly happiness thou sands of years. 'We need never be afraid of God, but only afraid of ourselves that we shall not be sorry for our sins, and love and obey him with all oar hearts. He says, "I love them that love me." 2ATXNG AND BLEEPING. BY DR. HUNTINGTON. Make it a matter of moral principle not to eat too fast,—one of the cardinal sins of Americans and of the nineteenth century. Count it no loss, in the end, to take ample time for your meals. Health is one of the forms of wealth, and, what is far better, it is one of the noblest conditions of hamar; service. Endeavor alwaYs to have agree able companionship in eating. The more you chat at your table, the less likely what' you eat will be to turn itself into your enemy afterwards. Friends at the board make the board friendly. Be cheerful there, even if you must be morose elsewhere. It is not skilful strategy to attack your diet with a grim visage. Within the bounds of gentlemanly moderation, pleasantry is the best of ail condiments; and an honest, hearty measure of it is never to be confounded with the unhal lowed levity, the silly simper, or the boisterous uproar of the , light n heade,d, the rude, or the pro- fans. One of the chief inisehiefe of the practice of dining at saloons, eating-houses, or hotels, which unfortunately prevails so much -in our mer cantile communities, is, that it puts each indivi dual into a practical solitude at the table, sepa rates him from his next neighbor, who is a stranger . , and leaves all the cares and anxieties of his business to troop and trample through his mind, neutralizing the nourishment he swallows, and making but a melancholy mastication. It has been the wisdom of wise nations from the beginning to render their meals genial and social. The old generations knew what they were doing when they employed jesters to stir up entertain. ment while they chewed and assimilated their viands. Forget all emulations and competitions, all bad debts and pending baegains, all Wrath and variance, all unkindnesses from man or wattle°, and every other disturbing thing. Eat in perfect. charity' with all men, eat at your ease, eat at lei sure, eat not like beasts that snatch at their foil der, or sullenly consume it, as if the only satisfac tion about it were that you have got it away from • the rest of the world. The refinement and cheer fulness of the table are one measure of the dignity and progress of civilization. Be persuaded not to crowd the consumption of a meal into five miCutes, or- ten, or fifteen. You may endure that for awhile, but nature will certainly take her yen . geance upon you in pains and infirmities, sooner or later. My next point is sleep. A great many young men, without the least , idea ef what they are doing, are planting the seeds of disease -in their constitu tions by not knowing how to sleep. Sleep col leets and treasures up vital power. To deprive one's self of it is to hat•ten consumption. We are all aware, perhaps, that the sleep taken in the earlier part of the night is more refreshieg and , invigorating, both to the body and the mind, than what is taken in the latter part. So that we never make nature a fair compensation, when we undertake to square accounts, for ,sitting up inor dinately late at night, by lying abed inordinately late the next morning. Such sleep may have some value,.but not the natural, value of what we lost. It would be exceedingly desirable that every one of us should be asleep for the night at ten o'clock, or half past ten at the latest. That prac tice would soon multiply the vigor, and lengthen the lives of our community to a very perceptible degree. How difficult it is to carry out any such rule, in the present customs and arrang ements of social life, many of us know very wel l; and the difficulty is increased in proportion as we are en-, tangled with these customs. I .will cheerfully pay an eighth part of my salary to the man that will make it practicable for me to go to bed at ten o'clock. In early life you have better facilities than you will have afterward for forming right habits in this respect. All you want is a little firmness at the beginning, and some temporary self•denial, for the sake of a permanent good. That is a poor kind of pleasure which asks the sacrifice of health; and the dissipation that runs far into the night is a double curser---on the body and on the soul. But perhaps literary aspiration, or some other honorable motive, induces you to sit up late. Necessary occupation engrosses all the day, and if you are to get knowledge you Must get it after the proper bedtime. But here again the laws that God has written on your frame are not to be circumvented. Any special attainment that you may acquire by defrauding the just claims of sleep is robbery. Too much has been written ' in praise of "midnight oil;" that oil is as fatal as' the oil of tansy. You may not feel the effects next day, in languor, headache, or a stricture about the eyes,—or-you may. But the copse quences are not finally escaped. A WORD AT THE MET TIME. Timing words should be a study; for they not only have a meaning, but a place. Spoken ever so eloquently and feelingly, they are powerless if ill-timed. The pious sailor who uttered a single sentence of admonition to his profane commander, when he should lhave_aneke,n_to_t_euch. that yeicked 'heart. ' That commander was James A. Haldane, and the man-of-war under his charge was "Mel ville Castle." At one time his men were cut down by a destructive broadside from the enemy, and be ordered a fresh set of hands to fill their places. But as the men came forward, a view of the mangled bodies of their companions caused them to shrink back with horror; whereupon Hal dane poured forth a most terrific volley of oaths, and wished them all tin hell. Afterwards, as oppor tunity offered, a pious sailor said to him pleatiantly, "If God had beard your prayers just now, where would you have been?" This pointed question went directly to his heart. He began to think of his soul, and was troubled in view of his sins, nor did he find peace until be gave his heart to God. Then he devoted himself to preparing for the mins try, and became known to the world as the Rev. James A. Haldane. Through his preaching his brother Robert was converted to Christ, and is known as a learned and pious commentator. For a season, Robert labored in Geneva, when a num ber of young men were converted by his agency, among them were Frederick Monod, a pillar of the Evangelical Church of France; Felix Neff, the renowned preacher of the Alps; and Merle d'Au bigne, the historian of the Reforvion. What marvellous fruits of a single sentence uttered by a sailor in "the nick of time!" Both the Hal danes, Monod , Neff, and Merle d'Aubigne, all brought to Christ by that wave of influence which the Christian seaman started on board the " Mel ville Castle." Perhaps if he had spoken the same words at another time, and in other circumstances, they would have irritated the commander beyond measure. But he uttered them at a time and in a manner that were favorable, and God made his words as arrows to the swearer's heart. True, the sailor did not fix upon a time to speak, defi nitely weighing the importance and value 01 his words; but this does not render the point in ques tion less noticeable. The fact remains that his words were uttered at just the right time to burn into the heart; and it teaches the necessity of wisdom and foresight in making appeals to the ungodly. The most pious appeal, not well-timed, will serve only to awaken sneers and ridicule. Choice words of wisdom to lead to Christ are only " pearls before swine " when they are uttered with out regard to the'cireumstances. PROF. RITCHCOOK'S ADDRESS. AT THE RECENT ANNIVERSARY OP TIM ANLERICAN TRACT SOCIETY. Rev. Professor 'Hitchcock, of New York, offered the third and list resolOtion Resolved, That it is incumbent upon us, at this time, to appropriate, as means shall be. fur nished, *lO,OOO, or whatever shall be neees sary to provide such books, tracts, and personal agencies as are specially suited to those who 'have been summoned by patriotism and duty, to the perils, temptations, and sufferings of the camp. The Rev. Professor said that he had willingly consented to address that meeting, because the resolution handed to him had the tap of the dram in it. Rethought that the work ought to be taken up and carried on for the soldier's sake. They are our sons, our brothers, our fathers perhaps; they are not, as is the case in some armies, the offscourings of streets and low haunts. They have volunteered in a good cause, as good as any that ever called a martyr to the stake or a saint 'to his knees. Few comparatively die in open fight; more are carried off by disease on the tented field proper, than are slain on the embattled plain. The moral peril of the soldier is always greater than the peril to which his life is exposed. There was therefore a large field, for the true and moral influences °t i the great 'Captain of Salvation. The colporteuli 'not be repelled from the tents of the camp. During the Crimean war, only three cases transpired, in which the missionaries and tract distributors were repulsed. Not alone for the men's sake ought the, society to look to this matter, but for the prospering of the war itself. War is a grand struggle of ideas, for there must be, thought even at the point of the bayonet to urge men on to fierce battle. The present ques tion is clear of all embarrassment; our struggle is Thayees Home Monthly Thayer o ethly ........... _ ___ ... .. ... a . ...intOgan -fx,,011.1tri4n,,,aiti:......14. a war of order with anarchy (applause;) between union and confederacy. (Applause.) It is a war of nationality against disintegration; and of dis integration that cannot stop with states, cities, or families—hardly with individual men. It is a holy war, and one which demands the prayers of the mother, who has sent forth to it her only son, and of the maiden who has been parted by it from her lover. The speaker extolled it as a most just conflict, and hoped that the North would strike so forcibly that the blow would be felt for ten generations to come. (Applause.) It could be done, and it should be done. (Immense applause.) Have we a flag, he asked, for which we are willing to spill our blood? The trouble hinged on the sentiment of Henry Clay, that his allegiance was secondary to bis state. He (the speaker) loved his state, but if his state should strike his mother, the United States, then would he strike tier. (Tre mendous applause.) In conclusion, he observed that the men of tried courage are ever men of prayer. He who prays best can fight best ;he wbo trusts most implicitly in God is most likely to keep his powder dry. THE AMERICAN PULPIT. BY HON: WM. asssur,T.D. D. The American pulpit, in eloquence; learning, ability, and influence, may well challenge compa rison with that of any nation. Ours is a land of free speech, and - nowhere is that freedom to be more prized, to be more Valued, and more fearlessly sustained, than in the 'pulpit. He who would fetter a free press, or a free tongue, does violence to the fundamental principles of -liberty; but he who muzzles the pulpit. does sacrilegious violence to liberty in her purest, holiest temple. God is Lord of the conscience of his ministers in a peculiar manner. Called to his holy ministry, they may not fear man more than God. 'l`lo men, and no institutions Of men, have a right to prescribe to them what they may or may not preach. With the Word for their guide, with the wants of the perishing around them as their incentive, they have a responsibility above that which belongs, to any man or any usages of society to overawe or con trol. As an element of sound instruction, no institu tion can compare with the pulpit. Blot out our colleges and schools, but leave us our free pulpits, and we will rebuild them all, endow them all, and fill them all in brief time. Break 'down our pul pits, and we merge into Irrevocable barbarism and heathenism.. Our ministers most deservedly ea ercisi a larger share of influence and control than any(perhaps than all) other professions. It is matter of congratulation that it is so, for as a class, they, are cultivated and refined gentlemen. Their vocation is one of love and mercy; their characters, blameless and 'harmless, without rebuke. They are every where the champions of education, of good morals,. and good order. They stand fore most in every good enteiprise, aria in self-denial, and labors of love and charity, they leave all other classes far behind. ,This is a tame eulogium upon the American pulpit .of this day; and the only purpose in view cou . this occasion is to speak in plain terms of this profession as it deserves. It needs no vindication; but it may be permitted a layman to render this slight tribute of. regard to a profession he deems the most important to all the vital interests of a beloved country and a sin stricken world. _ RBut even in this free country, and in this en lightened age, there is much mistake, misappre hension and ignorance in respect to the true free dom of the pulpit, - as well as open op in order to curb its The delightful dut verted to; and whil lie services to impai made to restrain it less imperious, bu rebuke. There an thous which will not their foinidations other basepassion auu ttv oy. - some of theplainesi and subversive of ti from their power and influence, and perhaps con trol, they must not be rebuked. These institu tions may darken the hopes, destroy the happiness, and rest as a deadly incubus upon millions, per "verting the right, and sustaining the wrong, but ministering to the ease, and comfort, and enjoy ment of others, and promoting the interests of thefeza at the expense of the many. They may not be rebuked. It is the glory of our age that we have, for the most part, a free and fearless pulpit; and come evil, and sin, and wrong, in what shape they may, their guises are torn off in naked deformity; they are held up to merited rebuke. Address' before the Lineman Assoc, of Penna. college. STATISTICS OF SICKNESS. Six hundred thousand itirionk die in 'the United States every year, six hundred thousand funerals move in, procession to the grave, and three million mourners go about the streets. This is the conclusion at which we must arrive, assuming the population of the country to be only twenty-five millions, (and it is doubtless much more than that,) and applying to that population the mean death-rate deducted from calculations. The vital statistics of England show that for each death there occur about twenty-eight cases of sickness, or two years of perpetual sickness., From which it results that these six hundred thou sand deaths which take place in the IL States every year are accompanied by sixteen million eight hundred thousand eases of sickness, or one million two hundred thousand years of sickness; that is, one million two hundred thousand persons, are perpetually sick. Now every enlightened and candid physician will tell us that at least one halt - of these deaths and one half of this sickness is unnecessary and preventable, and is produced by the violation of the laws of health, either in regard to the air we breathe, the food we eat, iiethe clothing we wear. The highest English authority upon Physiology, says that the average annualmortality of England "is just clouNe that to which it might be re duced" by proper attention to Hygiene; that "only 198,000 (of the annual deaths) are inevi table, the remaining 198,000 being preventable.' l But so far as We have the data necessary for making the comparison, it appears that the stand ard of health and the length of life in this country are lower than in. England; the mortality here being about-22 in every 1,000 inhabitants annu ally, while in the 'United - States it is about 24 per 1,000. Therefore we May, without exaggeration, as sume that one half of the entire sickness and mortality which prevails in the United States is avoidable; or, in other words, that not less there three hundred thousand persons die unnecessary and preventable deaths every year; and that eight million eases of sickness, or that the perpetuii sickness of six hundred thousand persons, results from the same artificial and preventable causes. Well does the Dm?lora Times, speaking of the terrible sacrifice of human life, and of the great sanitary movement now going on in England to prevent it, exclaim, "'Talk of war, indeed! Why what battles or contests ever wrought havoc like this? havoc, be it remembered, not occurring at intervals as an exceptional calamity, but carried steadily and incessantly through the ranks of the population." And all this terrible amount of sick ness and death might be prevented by_a proper knowledge and observance of the laws of health, as taught by sanitary science. A Scottish Queen of the Sandwich 'lslands. —Some months ago, we referred to the fact that Mr. Wylie, a native of Stewarton, Ayrshire, held the ho norable position of Prime Minister to Kamehatneha IV., the King of the Sandwich Islands.

AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS. • Are you sick, . ?Whim, and complaining? Are you oat of order—. with your system deranged, and your feelings uncomfortable? These symptoms are often the prelude to serious illness. Some fit of sick. nesis is creeping upon you, and should be averted by a timely use of the right remedy.- Take Ayer's Tills, and cleanse out the,disortleted burriors--purify the blood, and let the fluids move on unobstructed in health again. They stimulate the functions of the body into Vi gorous activity, purify the system from the obstructions which make disease. A cold settles somewhere in the body, and obstructs its natural functions. These, if not relieved, react upon themselves and the surrounding organs, producing general aggravation, antler. log, and disease. While in this condition, oppressed by the Oe =gement, take Ayer's Pills, and see how directly they restore the animist action of the system, and with it the buoyant feeling ct health again'.' What is tine and so apparent in this trivial and common'complaint, is also true in many of the deep-seated and date germs distempers. The same purgative effect expels them. Caused by similar obstructions and derangements of the natural functions of the body, they are rapidly, and many of them surely, cured by the atone means.
