For the heroes that bled ; Arise in, your fury, • Arise in your - might, • And.dOwn with the foemen Of God and the Right! Nor the Presbyterian Banner The Power.of Example. " Example, is better than precept." • So says the old adage; and the reason is ob vious. Mankind are imitative beings. Whatever they see in others, particularly in those they love, they strive to imitate. From earliest infancy this is always-the ease ;, and, we think, no one will dispute , the point. Now, we are of opinion, that this inherent principle, or law of nature, is I'mplanted within ns by an All-wise Creator or a good purpose, and for our mutual, ben .fit. There are always those,,in every grade. f society, who may be justly styled-leaders, hose example, in almost' every particular, s followed with avidity; and that circle, n which theymove , takes its character nail from the conduct of those persona. I f such be of a serious and pious -deport ... ent, others will try to .be like them, and hus they, may by, thsittivine' blessing,. no,. complish an incalculable amount of good; but if, on the other hand, they be of a iddy, volatile, or dissipated : character, those who try to imitate them will be cor rupted, and led into very many, foolish and hurtful ways, So true is it, as Solomon says, "Ile that walketh- with wise ,men shall , ' be wiae, but, a companions of fools shall be destroyed 1 " Among no class of people is the power of example more evidently seen, than.: among the young. Hence the importance of good, amiable companions. Look ,at that young , man or young woman- who strives to conduct themselies in a becom ing manner, who endeavor tctshow.by their walk and conversation, that this world is not their home, that they.look beyond it, and trifling.Lenjoynients for their pleasures-1 The amount of good the influ ence of such Crone will accomplish; will be known 'only- in • eternity I fihetr=will their works fhiloW' them 1 But let such be thrown a little pif,their guard, ,(as all are liable to he,) letthem but step a ;little aside from the narrow path of rectitude; and how: soon will' .the votaries of pleasure grasp at this man excuse for their running into ev ery excess of sensual gratification ! How little does the youthful Christian think when they are thus drawn aside, •for adsea- • son, into the world—how: little, we say, do they think, that their `'influence, at that 'me, is,only on the side of evil! • Oh, bow .areful.should they be, that." their good be • of evil Spoken of!" How 'careful should they ,hat have '" named the name of Christ" .0 to depart from. all iniquity.", But if the example of even•the. Christian may be l at times, o•• la deleterious influence, what must be the etthose, who, like Gal lia, " care for none of these things.;'.'„ who can, deliberately and wilfullyy rush into ev ery species fof wickedness These, too, ave their...imitators, and . followers, .. and .ow often lorthe unwary youth led on, by ueh examples, to commit crimes, at length, om which he would price, haVe recoiled ith horror! First. the profane oath, •the • .toxicating bowl, or. , the gaming -table; is lowed with disgusty.tben. they.beceine tol-• able, then they begin .toy indulge a little, 'drawn on by the example of others,).and ery downward step accelerates their speed, 11 they descend to the very aink ef• in . city. Thus, as says the poet, wthey first ndure, then pity, then embrace!" Dear 'youth, ,if such be the,power and in nem* of example,: both good and ' , evil, hich will you choose for your ootorain insi the wise 'and good, or the vicious ? hich would you desire to imitate? And I. Which. would ,you influence others by • our example 7 Now is the time to form ,• our character, and remember.; the old say . ng, "A man's character is known'. by the Ompany he keeps." MARY.
