In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief;
And oft escaped the tempter's snare.
By thy retar►r sweet hour of prayer,.
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear;
To - Rim whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.;.
And since he bidg o tne seek his face, .
Believe his word, and trust his grace,
cast on him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty hight,
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
--And-shout, while wising through the air,
• Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
MtSINGS.
Arms that have clasped us are far, faraway;
Lips that have kissed us,have gone to, decay;
Hair 'midst whose ringlets our hands have playedr
Have long, long years in the church yard laid..
Hopes that we've cherished• are buried there;
Hearts once happy are crushed to despair;
Hrurs once joyous are long and drear;
Smiles give place to the, scalding tear..
Father of heaven! oh teach us to know
-4-hy—harti
Thy rod, though sore, in mercy is given
To lead us from earth to 'our home in heaven.
HOPE
Behold, away out on the broad ocean of
life, a single white sail, glittering, shining,
sparkling upon the dark, deep, threatening,
angry waters. Such is hope, rising triniu
pliantly in the human heart, rising'over sor
row, rising over disappointment, buffeting
the waves of despair. The vessel of Hope,
chartered by Deity, conveys the troubled and
broken heart to a happy resting•place, to a•
verdant bank, to a quiet harbor, to a flowery
shore. -
The mother, sitting quietly in her humble
abode, reads the Bibl, and, placing implicit
faith and confidence in her Saviour, hopes
that her darling boy may safely return from
the battle-field to gladden her heart 'once
m )re; t 3 smooth her snowy hair; to help her,
with strong arms and kind' words, down to
the •rave whither ehe is haste_nino., Ah
without Hope how desolate, how sorrowful
would be that mother's heart. Now she la
ments, but still she hopes. The glimmering
sunshine of Hope breaks in•throngh the dark
clouds. The diamond. Hope, glitters at the
bottom of the turbid stream. Hope is that
mother's comforter.
Tennyson, in his "In Memoriam," has
said,—
•
a We trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal of ill."
How expressive that, when we look back up-
on our own lives, review our own actions,
start with horror at crimes ttat have 'been
committed in the world, and upon one great
balance .did, as it were, wonder at the world's
account, ;wonder how : little good it has been
credited with, and how great a charge of e.
vil appears against it, then Hope challenges
despair, steps in to our aid, rescues us from
the wretched condition of believing that our
case is . hopeless. ! Hope is our guar.
dian angel. She watches us; she hovers o
ver us, and spreads her shining wings over
our pathway; she !Aids the iron railing of life
that hems us in; she raises us from the, ruire
and clay"; she points upward to a celestial
city.' The last words et Keats are full of
pathos and beauty.
"I feel," lie said, "the flowers growing o
ver me "
How great was his hope, how lofty, how
noble, how satisfying in the hour of trial.
Faith'and Hope, twin sisters, beautiful in
syminetry, in whose countenance beam sweet
smiles of affection and love!
How valuable was Hope to the Bishops
Latimer and Ridly. To Quiogle, the great
German Reformer, killed in battle. Gazing
upon the blood, isauing from his wounds, he
exclaimed,—
"Tbey may kill the body, in feed, but have
no power over the soull"
How beautifitl . the Sun 'of'. lope, rising
upon at world chilled and bennmbed by de
spair, in all its fall, lustr ous heauty,, sending
its warm, enlivening 'rays down into the

Mitispent Time.
Among all the losses which we: hitie. to
deplore, and which we can never retrieve,
we count. the "loss, of time the greatest l —
Considering how short is life, at The longest,
and how much , each• of us have to do in the.
way of cultivation awl self-improvement, life
seems all too short, and we are impressed
with the absolute necessity of economizing
every moment. Not that we should work
perpetually with mind or muscle, but thut
when we work with either, it should be for
a purpose, and not "killed" by being worse
than. thrown away. -- For example, see how
much time is utterly lost by our soldiers , in
camp! Here are hundreds of able-bodied
men, whose duties occupy them but a por
tion of tluirtime, and who could, if — they
would, acquire a thorough knowledge asome
useful art of science while in the service of
their country. But how do they spend their
time ? Is it in reading scientific or educa
tional works, such as.engineering, surveying,
architecture, agriculture, mechanics, chem
is try, geology, astronomy, phonography,
mathematics, geometry, etc.,? Or do they
buy the yellow-covered trash, the filthy and
obscene ? Or do they "kill time" by playing
cards ? These men will again be thrown on
their own resources, and required to enter
'into the ordinary pursuits, when, from dis,
-- u - s - eTth - cii. - faculties will be illy prepared to
grapple in with those whose minds are wide
awake and well stored will real knowledge.
So on our steamers, and other ships where
passengers are voyaging for days and weeks;
how many improve their time? and hoiv many
kill it with worthless games? We do not
ob . ect to rational amusement, to recreation,
nor rest. e onyri --- )rote - stliltoim . st - tire — tr.tt
loss of valuable time, when the mind or body
'could be made to expand. grow, and streng
then—when the spirit could be exalted and
the man lifted up and improved.
Time flies, and we can never recall a mis
spent hour. An opportunity lost for learn
ing a single fact, obtaining a new thought,
or of gaining an inch of time, is worse than
the loss of friends. And we admonish the
reader to consider the,value of time, and to
see to. it that he makes the most of it.
Sentimental Fragment
"Thou heavenly orb that riseth. from the
ocean, and doth gild its blue watts with thy
beams, thy course knows' no check,' thy
brightness no interval i The vapors. o£, the
air may for a moment obstruct thy rays in
their progress to the innumberable worlds
who owe their light to thee. But thou art
still 'the same, and thy glory triumphs in un
impaired splendor: The• clouds, which are
blown on between thee and me, are emblems
of that life which I shall shortly leave;
itite-thott - art - tire - symbol of tlurt-immortrd-
ity which I hope shortly to enjoy."'
The voice came film' a rock; and; look
ing thither, I viewed the venerable form
whose lips proceeded the solemn exclama
tion. He stood upon a crag, and a staff
supported him ; his beard was silvered by
age ; .and, tvilile I gazed with curious won
der at him, he raised his baud and continu
ed his orisons.
"If this day, which is the last of eighty
five years that I have passed in this misera

thy goodness; I trust in thy mercy; and
that the severe penance of thirty years in
this solitude will haVe satisfied thy justice.

BELIEF.—Is a 'man accountable for his,
belief ?. Yes, to a certain extent. For ex
ample, he has no right to remain ignorant or
uninformed when .the means of knowledge
are within his reach; nor is he'justifted in
cherishing skeptical opinions, or a negative
unbelief, when, by opening his mind, he
would permit the light to enter, his faith to
grow,and his belief in the truth to be
es
tablished. Idiots, the inside, and the un
oeveloped will be judged according to-their
states 'and conditions.. Well-organized hu
man beings will: be held accountable even
for their belief.
Neither sincerity nor 'integrity are to be
stibstituted for not• offset against a want of

* MRS: HARRIS VERSUS.MIS-
CHIEFMAKER.
"Just as I've always said," remarked Sa
rni Going) to her friend, Betsy Prig,,at the
tea-table, "folks will talk; and how could On
expect_tLltm to tell the truth?;;--It's not in
Habig' l—for folks as talks much; must get
b*
up su pets to talk about; because they won't
listen to others of whom they could learn i

Just the other day I says to Mrs. Harris,
soya I, now Mrs. 'Harris, what's to bkdope
when One is belied and slandered,and cook
ed-up so ? and Mrs. Harris said, said she;
"why Sarai l its troublesome, which it is; there
are in every community persons Who by their
envy and jealoitsy, are always miserable, and
they like to-have "partners in distress," and
so they let no opportunity slip to put their
neighbors in hot water; and this is especial
ly true of very vulgar addle:pated •people,
whose .. sery only finds relief in inventing
silly stor -a which they know by circulation
I will be so 0. agnified and "colored, as to over
whelm th -'r victim; and , yet the rapid spread

go scott-free, la. 7hitig at the' numerous! pha
ses and gyrations heir little innocent story
has gone through; and then there are persons
who lend themselves to these human devils,
by , cshihitiny suspicious feelings, though
they may be excellent and clever people.—
These are to be pitiedi•for they wish to do
right, but circumstances in themselves triv
ial, become, to their imaginations, by the
artful shifting of the Gossip, arguments
strong as holy writ; and thane poor creatures
will not listen to reason or sense." You'r
right, says I, Mrs. Harris, but then what is
one to do? There is suspicion on one side
and the Gossip on the other,—you can't de
fend, yourselLagainst mn- i, • suffer
and suffer, and be kept in a stew, be blowed
I about town by rattling, low-flung, high-tea
' thered, but low-depraved suckers; which a
bound everywhere,--be pittied by folks who
hate you, and scolded by your friends, be in
jured in your business; and reputation,—and
not be able to show yourself up all right?—
"Why, my 'dear Sara i," said Mrs. Harris,
said she, "don't you remember what JimMy
Buchannan or Davy °rocket said once, "Be
sure t'ou'r right and go ahead,"—you can't
do better; find comfort in the belief that
"Truth is mighty," and "will ont;" your
friends will probe the matter, sift the dream
stances and finally reach the truth; and then
they will take pleasure ill vindicating you;
and even the persons who so unjustly impugn
you motives, or bear false witness against
you. will finally be mollified, and set you up
right, It's true, calumny and envy and jeal
ousy have ridden their• victims to the grave
and then piped there for many a long day ;
but this seldom happens. Besides, you have
this consolation, that the individual who thus
I 1 •II "a a aI o I'
py as yourself; and be is a great fool if he
does net listen to reason and thus be reliev
ed of harborin„,,o. such unpleasant feelings.—
Believe, me, Sarai, the Gossip's character
soon becomes known; she is eschewed by ev
ery one, avoided as a pest, and' soon suffers
more - filen her victims; and then too, as I
said before, genteel and respectable people
though they are sometimes entrapped by the
Gossips, yet, generally this occurs but once,
and forever after they regret that theyshould
have lent their ears to such miserable twad
dleohey know 'something of human nature,
and cannot lend themselves to such ignoble
practices,—moreover they are incredulous,
and you seldom suffer in their opinions, by
street rumors," Now, Betsy, I think Mrs.
Harris told the truth, which it' is; and I
shan't, bother myself about sick folks any lon

rite Cheering Word
Little Charley was the dull boy of his
school. All the rest either laughed at him
or pitied him. Even his master sometimes
taunted him With his deficiencies.' lie be
came sullen and indifferent, and took no
pains to get on. One day a gentleman whp
was visiting the school looked' over some
boys who Were making their first attempt to
write. There 'was a general burst of
at poor Charley's efforts. He colored
but was silent.
"Never mind, my. lad," said the gentle
man, cheeringly, "don't be discouraged';
just go on and do your, very best, and you'll
be a brave writer some day. I recollect
when I first began to write, being quite as
awkward as you are, but I persevered, and
now look hero." He took a pen and Wrote
his name on a piece of paper in fine legible
characters. "See what I can do now/' 'he
added.
Many years afterwards that , gentletban
met ehorley again a had turned out—o
of the most celebrated men of his day, and
he expressed his firm conviction•that he ow
ed his success in life, • under ,God's blessing
to the encouraging speech made by the
school visitant..
All living things need,eneourngernent:—
The eagle encourages and aids its young to
fly. The cat encourages her kitten to hunt
and catch the mouse. The hen encourages
the chicken to fly to the roost, And so the
horse, the o; and other auhuals encourage
their young in every proper way. But it
often happens that poor sensitive children,
who most need cheering words, get only re
buff: 4, scoldings, and hard words. "Kind
words" make our sufferings less; encouraging
words give us energy, hope, and *nfldence.
Flattery puffs up, makes us vain, and gen
