Lost—many sunless years Upon the road of life; Old, faded relics, stained with tears, And scarred by fruitless strife. Lost, never, to be fotnd— Gone, gone - for evermore; Swept on the ebbing Spring of time, To an-eternal-shore. They vanished one by one, Each bearing on its breast A life not lived, a work undone, A tree- ure not possessed; Something for which, it seems, My soul has vainly sought, The waking truth of happy dreams, That lime has never brought. Alas ! the weary days, Unwelcome in the past, Are with me yet; my skies are dark, And night is gathering fast. I strain m v teartess eyes To pierce th.• thickening gloom; And, 'mid the shadows, seems to rise A vision of thr• tomb. Life and Death Life is but Death's vestibule, and our pilgrimage on earth is but a journey to the grave, the pul4e that preserves our being beats our dead march, and the blood which circulates our life le floating it onward to the depths of death. To day we see our friends in health; to morrow we hear of their decease We clasped the hand of the strong man but yesterday, and to day we closed his eyes. We rode in a chariot of comfort but an hour ago, and in a few more hours the last black chariot must convey 119 to the home of all the living. Oh, bur; cloaely allied is death to life ! The lamb that sport. (oh in the field must soon feel the knife.— The 9$ that is in the pasture is fattening for the slaughter. Trees do but grow that they may be felled. Yea, and greater things than these feel death. .Empires rise and flourish, they flourish but to decay, they rise but to fall. Haw often do we take up a volume of history and read of the rise and fall of em pires? We hear of thicoronation and death of Kings. Death is the black servant who rides behind the chariot of life. See life and death is close behind it. Death reaches far throughout this world and has stamped ter restial things with the broad arrows of the grave Stars die mayhaps, it is said that conflagrations have been alar off in the ether, and astronomers have marked the funerals of other worlds—the decay of these mighty orbs thatwe have imagined set forever in sockets of silver to glisten as the lamps of eternity. Blessed be God there is one place where death is not life's brother, where life reigns alone, and 'to live' is not the first syllable whier is to be followed by the next, 'to die.' There is a land where the death knells are never tolled, where winding sheets are never woven, where graves are never dug. Blest land beyond the skies. To reach is we must die.—Spurgeon.

Touching Incident. Some days after one of the English steam ers had left Liverpool, a bright looking boy; about eight years old, was found aboard, who had been concealed in the vessersinee she left port, (which, by the way, is quite a com a , occurrewee - .)Ili was questioned-by-Hod officers as to how he came there. He stated that beLwas an orphan, and had an aunt liv ing in Halifax, and that hie uncle in Liver pool being poor - and unable to support him, had hid him in the vessel just before sailing, so that he might go up to Halifax and live with his aunt. It seemed like the old story to the officers of the vessel and they accused him of being helped by the crew; and tried their utmost by conking, and threatening to have him di• vulge that some of the sailors had taken him aboard and gave him foi:ml. Bat they availed nothing—the little fell'ow would tell no oth er story. At last one of the officers, feeling -sure - that the boy was dreeivinv, them, took _him by the--arm,-and-said,ALam-going-to make you tell the truth;' and taking him to what is called the bridge, says, •In one half hour I shall hang you unless you tell me which of the sailors has been feeding you. It was of no use—the boy would not lie ; and when the officer-told-him sternly-that he had only two minutes to live, the little fel low said, 'Sir, may I pray F' and immediate ly sunk on his knees. and lifting his little - h d s ---- in - an -- attitud e-of-p rape rs lo wly-rez peated the Lords Prayer, amid the upturned faces of the passengers_and crew of the ves• eel, who had anxiously been watching the re sult of the ttffieer's experiment; but on see ing the brave hoe wh , ,se love of truth was stioneer than that of life and hearing him so fit trily repeat his prayer, it was too much for their doubts, and caused a very affecting scene. The apparently rough officer burst into tears aad eau: , rms and hugged him as thoui , h in reality he had_ just escaped death. After this event the boy was a young hero in the ship He was praised and treated with daßities, each one anxious to do something for such a noble boy; and when he arrived in Halifax, ho was taken by the same officer who had doubt ed him, and fitted with a . nice suit of clothes, tiAaTtv mfs -- earnes — tei - is aunt Mt a seafty blessing for his future career. .• To•day and To-morrow. To-day we gather bright and beautiful flowers—to-morrow they are faded and dead. To-day a wealth of leaven shades us—to _morrow _sere-and.fallen,they crumble beneath our tread. To-day the earth is covered with a carpet of green—to morrow it is brown with the withered grass. To-day the vigorous stalk only bends be fore the gale—to morrow leafless and sapless, - a - child may break the brittle stem: To-day the ripening fruit and waving gain ;—to mot row 'the land is taking its rest after the toil.' To day we hear sweet songs tors of mea dows and forest, and buzz and hum of myriad insects—to•morrow—breathe softly—all na ture is hUsbed and silent To-day a'stately edifice;complete in finish and surrounding, attracts the passer by—to- morrow a heap of ruins marks the site. To-day tbere are cattle upon the thousand hills—to morrow they fall in slaughter. The fashion of the world passeth away. But let Christ dwell within us, and though we may pass away like the faded leaf and the sapless stalk, we shall 'arise in newness of lire, 4 11' here everlasting spring abides, And never withering flowers.' Peter Cartwright and Wife• Peter Cat twi ight, who is serving his fiftieth year as Presid;ne Eider in the M.

'No, no,' said his friend, 'God brought yon out of your illness, not the Doctor.'

The weather had been miserable, the rains were violent, the roads almost impassable, horses arid caissons and army wagons floundered in the quicksands. As • far as Grant's left stretched out, so far Lee still confronted him. Sheridan had been fighting at Dinwiddie, and Lee bad reached around almost io Grant's rear to strike at Sheridan,— bad, indeed, dealt him a heavy blow. But to do this the enemy had to divide his own "force. hoping to get back before Grant could- attack the broken from.

One of them had already returned, bringing word of success,—how complete was not yet known. Finally, the ottter_arrived with a full report from Sheridan He was in great excitement, having ridden hard, ten miles or more, from the field of victory. Five Forks was won. Grant listened calmly, only now and then interrupting the officer to ask a question.— When all was told, he rose, without saying a word, entered his tent, where a candle flick ered on the table, invited no one to join him, hut wrote a despatch in sight of the officers outside, and gave it to an orderly Theo, aoming_ont._to_the—fire-agaiii,he-rernarked,— as calmly as if he were saying, 'Et is a windy have ordered an attack all along the lines to-morrow at daybreak.' When one remembers whit - That meant,--how many such attacks had been made and how often with little result; in what light the North had come to regard these assaults upon fortified works , how disastrous repulse would have bee• : , part-1 of his army ten miles away, —the promptness of the decision can be better appreciated But Grant felt that the hour and the oppor tunity had arrived; he had that intuitive sympathy with his soldiers which every great commander feels. he knew that they must be inspired by Sheridan's victory as much as the Rebels would be depressed, and now was the time to take advantage of this feeling, and make the fioal'assaurt.

When within fifty yards of the vessel he cried out for help and io an instant one of our boats was being rowed in the direction of the cries. When brought on board he told a pitiful sto ry. His term of service was originally twee ' ty.sevett years and ten yet remained—charge, contempt of some petty. official. He begged us net to send him back saying he would be immediately beheaded. The captain told him he could not keep him, but would give him a chance for his life.
