Upon the rocky coast of Cornwall, there
stood some years ago, and may bo stand
ing yet.. ao old fashioned lighthouse. It
was placed amid some dangerous rooks,
and was founds great blessing to mariners
frequenting that coast, in directing them
in dark and stormy nights. • Many were
the shipwrecks it prevented, and many
the blessings. that wero breathed forth to
heaven by the sailors for its guiding and
cheering light.
You we id have thought that elrery bn. !

There was a set of wicked. nice who

Such is my little story. It is quite
true; and as I have told it to 3'oo, I have
been thinking of other miiiners and
! wreckers than those on the toasts of
Cornwall. I have been thinking of a
world of people alt io danger of missing
their way, and being forever- ruined by
' the results of folly and of sin. I have
. thought of wreakers in the shape of wick
ed melt and youths, who would fain
blight and destroy those by whom they ,
are surrounded. And I bare thought of
the Church of God, with the light of truth,
and the means' ofpresenting th; way of
i
peace and safety n her possession. as a
light.house for the world, in which even a
child may help to kindle the lamps, and
save some poor voyager for eternity from
destruction and woe.
• Look around you, dear child, and see
if you canoor light some lamp of truth and
love, which shall' help to save and bless
your fellow-men.—Lamp of Lune.
Wealth vs. Happiness.

and happiness .are useparatite.oompaw ,

pates the delusion. There was great, sig

man's life consiateth not in the abundance
of the things which he eossesseth." The
following sketch of the Euglish Rothschild

Time Or CHARACTItit.-.--We may judge
of a man's character by;what he loves as
readily as by hie associates. If a person
is ,wed to ion , sordid objects—il he takes
delight in the baehanalian revel, the vul-
gar song and debasing language—we can
at once tell the coMplezion of his mind.
on the contrary, it he is found in the so
ciety of the good—if he loves purity and
truth—we are satisfied that he is an up.
right man. A mind debased will not be
found in a holy assembly, nor among the
wise am! good. He whose Iffections are
encircled by goodness, seeks not his grit
ifiCation at the hitunti of vice. . •
