DEATH AND SLEEP.
A Parable.
TRANSIATED FROST TU GElardlt of SRU2LYAQBEA
Death and Sleep, the angels oe Slum
ber and of Death, in - brotherly embrace,
`wandered through the earth. It was
evening.:
_They laid themselves down
upon a hill, not far from the abode of
Men. A ; melancholy_ silence prevailed' s
around, and the vesper bells In the
distant village ceased.. Stiilandsilent,
as was their custom, the two beneficent
spirits of, the human race sat in sad em
brace ;—and already might approached.
. Then arose tbe angel of Slumber from
his mosgY coueb, and scattered with a.
light hand the invisible seeds of sleep.
The evening Winds bore them to the
4ulet dwcllings of, the weaey 7easant.
Now"iswaet sleep enlded In Lis arms

beneficent spirit laid himself again at

- THOS AL BEEOHER ON LENT.
1 .
-..TAaving further inquirly into t h e
cense ef the prevalent non-church-go-• •
ing ter next week's." column," we ask
the reader's attention to the newspaper
articie.on Lent, with which the above
named gentleman has favored the pub
lic. s Wei , refer to it as one of " the signs .
of the times." We deem it of value as
Oki:ming a growing consciousness on
the part of not a few in the variouePro
testant denorninatione, that those near' .
gee' which have borne tile teat of the
ages since the first establislitrient of the
Christian Church,—however• for a tune
they may halve been looked upon by a
portienof 'Cliristendom,—are not only
founded ,in reason, butare indeed India
peneable.to the health -and permanent
growth .of the ,Chilstian Life. We
trust, therefore, that such utterances
will 'serve both to skew one portion of
'the Protestant world the value of a true '
Catholicity in a religious communion,
and to confine another portion, no less
truly Protestant, in the good old paths.
Nay, we cannot but exprefla the hope
that the author of the, article in qUes•
lion will In thne see both the consisten- •
cy and the necessity of following the
example of other members of the same
fluidly, in forming such ecclesiastical .
connexions as will bring him, not mere. ,
ly touching the observancelof Lent, but
in regard to all the essential features
and usages of the• Primitive Church,
into full "agreement with the vast ma
jority. of nominal Christians through
out the world." We presume it is gen
erally known that both Miss Catharine
Beecher an d- Mrs. 'Harriet Beecher
Stowe and her daughters have entered
the communion . of the, BpleCepaJ
Church. .
The following is Mr. BeecheW testi
mony in behalf of Lent: "That there
should be a holy season in eachyear, is
,as reasonable and as profitable as that
'there should be a holy day 'in each
week. It would be unfortunate if Chris- ,
•Han bell Overs should fall into' dissent
and-confusion as to the day of the week
which' they reckon holy. Although
one day is as good as another, Yet the '
day that all or nearly fill agree to ob
serve, is better than any other, because
of the agreement, There is, powbr in -
consenting usage,
• "In like manner, a season of prayer
and religious quickening; which most
Chrifitiane observe, ,and all Christiana
need somewhere in the winter season,
Would be Ivory much increased in val-,
tie, if Christians throughout the world
could agree upon the same season. To'
have Sunda y dribbled along, through
the week would be a Joss. • To have
Lent ribbled along through winter—
and) spr ng, s is a loss. For our week of
prayer, writs corktinuation, according
to bane t received;A:is only out silent
&stir° y that the venerable usages of
Lent 'a
e verily pro fi table. ' It-w - e - r - r - 3
therefo e an act of graceful intelligence
for an y church to' accept the Lenten
season of the Christian year, and thus
come into agreement with the vast ma
jority of nominal Christians through
out the world." • - •
All this , evinces a' philorophiCal in
sight and an independence of thought
which cannot fii 'to command the n
& E. -
ape of every c ndid reader. We must
confess, howev r, that our feeling, in
reading Mr . Beecher's art l icle, has not
been one of unmingled satisfacticm.— -
We regret that, by indulging in certain
" criticisms," he has (no doubt uncon
sciOmly)lent his influence to the en
couragement of that superficial and ir
-reverent spirit already sufficiently min
t-lint in our own time. For, be' it un
derstood, we , do not ' deprecate his criti
elern because of the impression it may
make upon the .minds of intelligent
" Church people," but as calculated to
mislead, those who stand in need of in ,
struction much more than of criticism.
To shoW the reader the nature of what
we have taken exception to, we quote
still further : ' Lent - is not a ' rag of
Popery.' The histbry andtraditions of
Lent may be epee to criticism, and may
be amiably criticiSed, and yet Lent it
self
be observed with profit."
And then follows the criticism the
reverend writer has been moved to of
fer; "As an old schoolmaster, I object
'to mixing the rude Jewish calendarand
the exact 'Gregorian calendar in the
Christiarvor eccle lastical year.- This
Christian year, be ltrtanernbered, is la •
device of holy ins rublion, They who
observe its days nd seasoinii are led
Moog .and made f miller with ail the
prominent events'' ii-the life Of Jesus;
yet it seems odd to find hrlstimas and

'ward over a space of thittyLnne days,
according to the nioonsbine- in March:
This seems like saying that Jesus Sad
a' definite hirth-day and very luncertain
death, and'resurrection days." , -
Mr.:B l eed:lees difficulty is owing to
the fact that, in his ecclesiastical life,
he hafi 'not " come into agreement with
the vast.inajority of nominal Chrkatiane
throughout the World," and therikore
fails to &cern things from the truly
Catholic stand-point., The Chureprnan
sees nothing odd in fi nding " Christmea
