In all my changes here below, Of transient weal or trying woe, It may be given my soul to know— Be Heaven my stay. When the faint heart would fail for fear, No human eye to pity near, No hand to wipe the bitter tear— Be Heaven my stay. When I must bear the worldling's scorn, Derided for my lot forlorn, E'en of itself but hardly borne— Be Heaven my stay. When of the friends whom once I knew, Around me I can find but few, And doubts arise if these be true— Be Heaven my stay- When days ot health and youth are flown, My path with faded roses strown, And thorns are all I find my own- Be Heaven my stay. When full of tossings on my bed, I cannot rest my weary head, Scared with dim visions of the dead— Be Heaven my stay. When sorely chastened for my sins, And pleasure ends while grief begins, Aud agony no guerdon wins— Be Heaven my stay. When all in vain I strive to brave The gloom of Joi dan's swelling wave, And hand of mortal cannot save— Be Heaven my stay. When prayer no longer will prevail, When praise sinks to a trembliug wail, When faith itself begins to fail— Be Heaven my stay. Trials and Comforts. We all have trials to bear in this, our pilgrimage. What a train of evils follow ed the entrance of "Sin into the world and death by sin ' and all our woes. Notwith standing the curse pronounced upon us by reason of sin, we have many comforts and blessings. We must not however look for continual sunshine. Clouds will often in tercept the rays of the sun and when we are least expecting it, sometimes a storm will arise. Our trials are varied according as God may be pleased to order them, and as shall be for liis own glory and our good, if we put our trust in Him. Some are blessed with health, while others are lee ble and sickly. Some have an abundance of this world's goods and more than heart can wish for, while others are struggling with poverty and want. We see those who have kind and pleasant companions for life, while others have the reverse. Some have children who are comforts to themselves, and blessings to society, while others have children who are a cause of continual anxiety. We see those who have many friends and relatives to comfort them and whose society they can enjoy, while others are almost alone in the world, and feel as if they would have no one to smooth their dying pillow. Some persons possess natu rully a happy temper of mind, while others are desponding and gloomy. But we sel dom, I might say never, see all those bles sings concentrated in one individual; if tbev have comforts they have trials also— our highest enjoyments are mingled with pain. Strong and devoted attachment to our friends, make the trial of separation greater when called to part with them. Some persons appear to have more than their share of sorrow, but we see those who are thus afflicted among the truly happy— "For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiv ed." A Salutary Thought. —\Y hen I was a young mou there lived in our neighborhood a farmer who was usually repi rted to be a very liberal man, uncommonly upright in all his dealings. When he had any of the produce of his farm te dispose of, he made an invariable rule to give good measure— rather more than was required of him. Une of bis friends observed hiui frequent ly doing so, questioned him as to why he did it; be told him he gave too much, and told him it would be to his advantage. Now, dear reader, mark the answer of this' excellent man : ''God has permitted me but one journey through the world, and when I am gone I cannot return to rectify mistakes." Think of this. There is but one jour ney through life. An Old Sermon. —Skeleton of a ser mon preached by Rev. Win. IJiscox, in Newport, R. 1., August 8, 1792, from Eccles. 1, XII. The time of youth is the best'time. 1. For good impressions. 2. For strong resolutions. 3. For fixed affections. 4. For closest applications. 5. For diligent observations. Not to remember God in youth is : 1. To slight His invitations. 2. To disregard His legislations. 3. To disbelieve His implications, 4. To reject His operations. Virtues confessed by our foes and vices acknowledged by our friends are probably real. He that falls into sin is a man; he that grieves at it is a saint; he that boasts of it is a devil. aawasffowsja EcnffffaHS?
