child into his family, makes him one of his
household, treats him as one of his own
family, and makes him szi heir of his estate ;
so God, in adopting ns into his family, num
bers us with his children, entitles us to the
privileges of sons, and makes us his heirs;
for if we are children, then heirs—heirs of
God, and joint heirs with Christ.—Rom. viii :
16, 17. Behold what manner of love the
rather hath bestowed upon us, that we
should be called the eons of God. Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth
not 'yet appear what we shall be; but we
know that' when he shall appear, we shall
be like him;'for we shall see him •as he is.

" Yes, Neddie," said little David, "you
give them something to eat out of your

shing to drink out of my water.pot, and they
will grow up just as we do, Bessie."
"Do. you .Imow, children," said the old

,do any unintentional. mischief at home nr at
school,- andfrankly confess ;it, without any
wicked attempt at concealment, you are
planting the precious seeds of truth.
"When you bring your pieces of money
to the contribution box, or give part of your
food and clothing to some half-starved and
suffering child, you are planting the seeds of
generosity and mercy.
"When you kneel down at night or rise
up in the morning to say your prayers to our
Father in heaven, you are planting the holy
seeds of piety.

"And these seeds will all grow up into the
most beautiful flowers , and i delicious fruits in
after life.
"If you take good and constant care, of
them, they will become like strong and thriv
ing, trees, which will shelter and support you
well."
'" But what are the weeds?" said Bessie.
"Ah I when you are impatient, when you
are out of temper, when you speak unkindly
to your cOmpanions, when you obey your
parents with pouting lips and an unwilling
mind,'when you forget your prayers and neg
lect your Sabbath School lesson, when you
try to deceive your te.achers, when you in
dulge in pride, anger, and selfishness, when
you say, do, or desire any thing wrong--
then you are planting the seeds "of noxious

Speaking of the historian Hume, Mr:
Everett, -in f his Address before the New
York State Agricultural Society says :
"Did this philosopher ever contemplate the
landscape°at the close of the year, when seeds,
and grains, and fruits have ripened, and stalks
have withered, and leaves have fallen, and
Winter has forced her icy curb even into the
roaring jaws of Niagara; and sheeted half a
continent in' her glittering shroud, and all
this.teemins vegetation and organized life
are locked in, cold and 'marble obstruction ; ;.
and, after week upon week and Tenth upon
month have swept,with sleet, and chilly, rain,
and howling storm, over the earth, and riv
eted their bolts upon the doorof nature's
sepulchre; when the sun at length begins
to wheel:in higher circles through the sky,
and softer winds to breathe over melting
snows; did he ever behold the long hidden
earth at length appear, and soon the timid'
grass peep forth, and anon the Autumnal
wheat, begin to paint the field, and velvet
leaflets to burst from purple buds, through
out the reviving forest; and the mellow soil
to open its fruitful bosom to every grain and
seed droPped from the planter's hand, buried
but to' spring'uP again, clothed= with a new
mysterious being; and then, as More fervid
suns inflame - the air, and softer showers
distil from, the clouds, and gentler dews
string their pearls on twig and tendril, did
he .ever watch the ripening grain and fruit,

"Taking Down" n IWO*.
• A dashing youngster, of twenty ortwenty
five, in a steamboat on . one of our. great
Western waters, was spouting largely on
various subject& Among the rest, he brought
up Christianity; and seemed mach pleased,
whenever.he could pronounce, with an ele-
vated tone of voice, such expressions,
" the impostor of Christianity,' " the fable
of the Christian religion," so that all the
company.might hear him, and perceive that
he.was not one of those tame and: bOll2lllOll
creatures that admit the truth of Revelation.
Aftar he "had pretty well exhausted his
rhetoric, and had drawn much . attention to
himself, in consequence 'or hill 'impieties, a
sorry-looking stranger, dressed in an humble'

the youngster. "Indeed," said.theinquirer,

:the young skeptic.,. ft Ah !".. returned the

was the next answer. "I am sorry," re
joined the poor looking span, " that yen can
not inform me on these subjects." Then
approaching• the gay stripling, and leaning
his bead over toward him, as if to whisper
something, be added, "Sir, I have only One
more question to ask, and as I do not wish
these bystanders to hear it, I will speak in a
low voice. The question is this: As I heard
you speaking about a matter which I thought
took a great deal of knowledge to under
stand so well, it occurred to me that you
would be a proper person to tell me several
things which I wished to know; but finding
that you do not know the matters that I have

Raveloek's Temple.
There is, in Rangoon, a famous heathen
temple, devoted - Ito the service of I3oodh,
which is known as the magnificent Shivey
Dagoon pagoda. .Tt is deemed the glory of
the city. Of a chamber in this building,
Havelock obtained possesion for his own
purposes. All around the chamber were
smaller iinages of tioodh, in the usual posi
tion, sitting with their legs gathered up and
crossed, and the haids resting on the lap, in
symbol and expre6sion of repose. No great
changes were necessary to prepare the place
for Christian service. * * * Accord
ingly, it was announced that that wou:d be
the place of meeting. An officer relates,
that as he was wandering round about the
pagoda on one occasion, he heard the sound
'(strange enough, as lie thought,) of singing.
He listened, and found that it was certainly
Pealin-singing. He determined to follow
the sound to its source, and started for the
purpose. At length he reached the cham
ber, and what should meet his eye but Hav
elock, with his Bible and Hymn-Book before
him, and more than a hundred men seated
around , him, giving earnest heed to his
proclamation to them of the glad tidings of
great joy. How had they got their light by
which to read, for the place was in dark
shade ? They had obtained lamps for the
purpose, and putting them in order, had lit
them, and placed them, one by one, in au
idol's lap.
