Te sniddiatat.— II Qvus. There was a man named Ferguson, ' . Ito lived on Market, street— i He had ia" ckled s omas Cat , . That ' 1 well be held; .._--- He'd ca tch re rats and toleallAd Itch, ',•.? 14 Than Porn eta could eat. , tirl- • ';`kr " i • Ilds cat would come into thezteont 'And climb up on a cheer, - .. An 4 P 3 Pre he'd sit anallck brawl" loaknrr eCt atvial goner, ; ' '- ", That Ferguson - w4mld yell atidna; But stilt 110 Ptirr-sevore-'. And then be'd d eitmb the moonlit fence, And loaf around and yowl, spit, and claw anothei cat • Alcingtdde of the Joni And then they both woultlehake their tat* And Jump arold and howl. • Oh. this hero cat of Ferguson's_ Was fearful then to see; He'd yell predtmely like-ho was In awful agony; You'd think a first-class stomach ache Had struck some small baby. And all the mothers in the street, Waked by the horrid din, - - ' Would rise right up and search their babes To did some werryiu. pill; 1 And still this vigorous cat would keep N i i A 11011e:ire sin. I. And as for Mr. F son, 'Twas more than e could bear, And so ho hurled his oot-jack out, Right through the midnight air; But this vociferous Thomas cat ' Not ono cent did he care— For still be yowled and kept his far A standin` up on cud, And his old spine a doublin' up As far as it would bend, Mitt hfit \ hopes of happiness Did on Ida lungs depend, But while a' ; curcia' of his spine, And Wallin' to attack , A cat upon the other fence, There cattle an awful cinch; And this here speckled Thomas cat Was busted. to the back. When Ferguson came down next day, Thereby:lds old feline, ' And not a life was lett in him, Although he had had nine. "Ali this hero comes," said Ferguson, ~ O f curvin' of his spine." Now all you men whose tender hearts This painful tale does rack, Just take this moral to yourselves, All of you, white and !?lack; Don't ever go, like this here cat, To gittin' up your back MOOD WHOIJGHTS He.who talks sows; he who listens reaps. Alas ! for the piety which ends in feelings and words ! It is vain as the foam of the sea. . Ife is always the severest censor- of the merits of others who has the least worth of his own. The plainest and best instructions,are of no avail, unless there be an understanding heart to receive theta, priVate life, I never knew any one to interfere with other people's disputes but that he heartily repented of it. That which makes heaven so full of joy is that it is above all fear, and that which makes hell so full of horror is that it is be yond all hope. Better have God for your guardian than the bank of England for your possession.— You 'might spend the wealth of the Indies, but the infinite riches of God you can never exhaust. It is a greater mercy to have a spiritual appetite for the means of grace, and to be providentially debarred from enjoying them, than to have opportunities of attending them without an appetite for them. Oh I if men were wise, they would; see that all earth'sljoys are like the bubbles which our children blow with soar, they glitter and they,shine, and then they are gone, and there is not even a wreck left behind.' Times of general calamity and Confusion have ever been productive of the greatest, minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thun derbolt Is elicited from the 'darkest storm. The intensely practical character of Chris tianity might be inferred from the life of its founder. In Jesus we see no display, no aiming at effect, nothing spoken or done_to decorate or ornament the simplicity of his daily life. How strange it is that anxious souls do most of all doubt the willingness of Christ to be their Saviour; yet these should least of all doubt him. If he is a willing Saviour to any, O, surely he is a willing Saviour to the Weary soul. • • To endure the present evils with patience and wait for expected good with long suf fering, is equally the part of the Christian and the hero. Those evils would break a proud man's heart that would not break a humble christian's sleep. A worldly man having infinite cares, cositatiolis and anxieties hanging on his mind, can never have rest or quiet, day or night, but is enforced to be Forking his brains when other men: sleep -to compass those trifles wherein lie is encumbered. To die in a respectable position, What is the use of it ? What are a few more plumes on the hearse, or a longer line of mourning coaches ? Will these ease the miseries of hell ? Ab, friends, you hive to die, and why not make ready for the inevitable,? The rich and poor, the prince and peasant, are all upon Care's broad seal; and there are times when the humble barkJsafely moored in harbor because of its frailte, - eitcapes the storm, when the big ship that Coots. forth in its strength is overwhelmed arid wrecked. To-day the churches are sickened with es says and "intellectual" treats. Fine language amuses ,the ear,. as the tinkling of little bells pleases the coach horsei,:but it cannot satisfy thesoul any more trtan.the aforesaid tintinabfilations can supply the place of corn and hay. • .. How much all our , divisioriseand disputes --EttiSC out of our unfaithfulnes&fsi Christ ? Each one seems anxious fojniitifYlls own little selfish reserve .frorn tto '_,, Qrd rather than to seek to be helped:4), dti,'Pley his whole body, soul, and spirWati,' , -Vs most worthy and loving service. The apostles blows were laid oril,with a will, and left their impi-esA where they fell. Fussy officials they were 'not ; pompous dignitaries they could not be, butreal work men of the Lord they evidently wEdre ; hence their power under God to move their age and all succeeding ages. 1' Many professors play at being Christians; they are not real in their church member ship, not in very deed separate from sinners, or devoted to the service of God ; hence the world has no care to oppose them, and leaves them perfectly ignorant of the very meaning of the word "persecution." A dozen or two General Grants, eloquent ly silent, would form a fine board of church management ; men who can give, and work and pray, are worth a hundred times as much as those who can compose resolutions, cavil over expressions, move the previous question, discuss and re-discuss i , till all is blue-moulded or green with verdigris. • Our neighbors perish for lack of the gas- I pet; but do we carry it to them ? The poor swarm around ilS;in what measure do we feed them ? They would be well enough off if good intentions anti excellent sugges tions could clothe and feel them, but us it is, they derive stl benefit from us. To know how to do ood and to leave it un done is no small sin. One of the, most evident weaknesses of most religious societies is a lack of practical common sense. - They are great in red tape, rich in committees, and positively gorgeous with presidents and vice-presidents, and secretaries, and honorary secretaries, -;and Eno.llto secretaries, etc., etc. ; but what comes of it all ? We behold a fine display of wooden cannon and pasteboard soldiery, but conquests there are none. We cannot sink too low in humility, nor yet rise too high in heavenly mindedness; but we may soon be lost in the wilderness of needless 'speculation. Such as are sober minded will keep within their depth, and when the Lord directs us to launch forth wo may do it with safety. If we are wise according as It is written, we shall be prof itably wise, but if we want to be wise be yond what it is written, we shall smart for our folly. It has been the misery and the disgrace of -the Church, that too many theologians who have held the truth, and held it, too, in its best forms, have held - it like the heath ens, in unrighteousness; have held it in nar rowness, and bigotry. They have forgotten that the rich man can afford to be liberal that the strong man need not be constantly anxious; that a scientific and vigorous ortho doxy should ever look out of a beaming And not a sullen eye. , All this world's riches and glories cannot prevent the least calamity, nor make up the want of the least mercy. If is not the crown of gold that can cure the headache, nor the golden scepter that can stay the shaken hand, nor the honorable garter that can cum> t.bn gout, nor the necklace of pearl that can take ho of goidvio. aln ...,21„ the.. teeth, and a - rest on.
