He that lives without prayer or prays without life has not tho spirit of God. We must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ. Remember that you aro at the door of eternity, and have other work to do than to trifle away time. Turn to God and he will turn to you; then you will be happy, though all the world turn against you. He that lovcth not, knowcth not God, for God is love. If we forget God when we are young, he may forget us when we are old. If we expect to live with Chri3t iu heaven, we must live with him on earth. Christ satisfied the law of God to the uttermost, and therefore can save those who believe iu him to the uttermost. Benefit your friends, that they may love you more dearly still. ' Benefit your enemies, that they may at last become your friends. Hope is the sweetest friend that ever kept a distressed soul company; it be guiles the tediousness of the way all the miseries of our pilgrimage. Christians arc not so much required to live out of the world, as to live ulovc it. A hard duty, indeed! yet there is a vic tory which overcometh the world. Many flowers open to the sun, but only one follows him constantly. Heart, be thou the sunflower, not only open to God's blessings, but constant iu looking to him. He that is good may hope to become better; he that is bad may fear that he may become worse; for vice, virtue and time never stand still. In matters of conscience, first thoughts arc best; in matters of prudence, last thoughts arc best. Religion is much talked of, but little understood, till a man's conscience is awakened; then a man knows the worth of a. soul and the want of a Saviour. Religion must be our busiucss, then it will be our delight. Four things a Christian should spe cially watch after; to be humble and thankful, watchful and cheerful. If we would not fall into things unlaw ful, we must sometimes deny ourselves those that are lawful. If you follow Satan, you will find the tempter prove a tormcutor; if you follow the Spirit, you will find the Counsellor prove a Comlortcr. TLcy that spend their days in faith and prayer, shall end their days in peace and comfort. Pleasure of Contentment I have a rich neighbor, that is always so busy that he has no leisure to laugh; the whole business of his life is to get money, and more money, that he may still get more aud more money. lie is still drudging on, saying that Solomon says, " The diligent hand mak eth rich." And it is true, indeed, but he considers not that it is not in the power of riches to make a man happy, for it was wisely said by a man of great obser vation, " That there may be as many mis erics beyond riches as on this side , of them." And yet God deliver U3 from pinching poverty; and grant that, having a competency, we may be conteut and thankful. Let us not repine, or eo much as think the gifts of God unequally dealt, if we see another abound with riches; when, as God knows, the cares that are the keys that keep those riches, hang of ten so heavily at the rich man's girdle, that they, clog him with weary days and restless nights, even when others sleep, quietly. We see but the outside of the rich mau's happiucss; few consider him to be like the silkworm, that, when she seems to play, is at the very same time spinning her own bowels, and consuming herself. And this many rich men do loading themselves with corroding cares to keep what they have already got. Let us, therefore, be thankful for health and competence, and above all, for a quiet conscience. Isaac Walton. Wonderful Mechanical Genius. A youth, aged eighteen, belonging to a respectable family of Paris, had, about a year ago, been condemned for theft to five years' imprisonment. His conduct in prison being quite exemplary, he gained the good opinion of the director, who soon remarked in him a peculiar aptness for mechanical contrivances. A few days ago he begged to tell him what o'clock it was that he might set his watch. " You have a watch, then? " asked the director. " Only since yesterday, eir." said tho prisoner, and to the astonishment of the director produced one made of 6traw! The little time piece is two aud a half inches in diameter, about half au inch think, and will go three hours with out winding up. The dial plate is of paper, aud a pretty straw chain attached to the whole.- The instruments the youth ad at his command were two needles, a piu, a little straw and thread.

A week or two ago the wife of a very respectable merchant residing on Twellth street, in this city, died after a short ill ness, and tho usual arrangements were made for the funeral services.

The Pennsylvania Election Frauds; The following remarks of the New York Daily Times, in reference to the revela tions made in the Centre county contested election case, seem to us to hit the nail right on the head : "The wholesale frauds. .of the Pennsyl vania Democratic State Committee in the Sharswood election having now been proved, the question is what will be done with the guilty? Wo are told that 44 the: case has concluded " with the ousting of a Democratic Senator, and the swearing, in of a Republican. It fctrikes us that the case should not conclude, but aouij mence, at that point.
