GETHSEMANE.
The darkness of night shrouded the sleep
ing city. No moon gilded with silvery light
the spires and domes that by day had re
flected the fiery brightness of a torrid sun.
No star sent forth its mild and cheering'
heams to relieve the gloom and desolateness
that like a pall had fallen on the earth with
the setting sun. The night wind moaned
hoarsely among the dark cedars and mourn
ful cypresses of Gothsemane-sad, desolate,
wild was the scene. There was a vague
oppressiveness and gloom in the very still
ness that reigned over that spot. But see!
A figure clothed in white glides slowly like
a spectre and kneels on the cold, damp sod.
Why is he here? Long since has sleep
sealed the eyes of the thousands that daily
throng the streets and marts of Judea's
Capitol, and even his most faithful followers
a little way off overcome by fatigue and
heaviness are wrapped in profoundest slum
ber. But hark! how clearly and sweetly
rise his mournful accents on the still air of
night. 'Tis the voice of a son pleading with
a father-'tis the voice of the long promised
Messiah-the Prince of peace-the Saviour
of Israel. For long years had he borne the
murmurings, scoffingsand persecutions of the
stubborn Jews. "He came unto hisown and
his own received him not." Wearily had he
travelled on his mission of love, healing the
sick, giving sight to the blind, waking the
deaf to hang with delight on the melting
accents of his own gentle voice, and calling
the dead from the icy embrace of the tomb.
He felt that now the hour of sacrifice.was
approaching, and sank in agony beneath his
father's frown. He heeds not the chilling
blast, too intensely bitter is the anguish of
his spirit. All the 9nergies of his soul are
concentratea and absorbed in the str a le
against the gloom and agony that crush m
to the earth. And from his brow, clammy
with the night dew of heaven, large drops
of bloody sweat trickle to the ground. See!
th2 anguish and woe that is depicted upon
everyeiineamest of his lovely face as he
cries, "Father, if it be possible let this cup
pass from me." Legions of shining angels,
unseen by nortal eye, gazed with intensest
sympathy on the scene, and bright seraphs
hoverimg on noiseless wing with mingled
awe and sadness watched the fearful conflict.
Nor were the black fiends of hell uncon.
cerned spectators of the struggle that was
to test the weakness of humanity and the
omnipotence of God. As Nature failed,
Deity came to his aid and with a smile of
resignation he exclaimed in sweetest accenV,
" Not my will but Thino be done." Hell's
dark legions fled aghast and angels with ten
fold rapture turned their golden harps be
fore the Throne of the Eternal. Comforted,
resigned, he arose and awoke his drowsy
followers to meet the embrace of the traitor
and to suffer the death of the cross. The
moon- threw off her canopy of cloud, the
stars one by one appeared in the firmament
and nought remained to tell of that scene of
agony and sorrow. Calvary received its
bleeding-victim. Fire, famine, sword and
pillage bowed that (evoted city in the dust.
Not one stone of its magnificent temple re
mained to iall the tale of its departed glory.
And the fulfilment of prohetic vision sent
Israel an- outcast among the nations of the
earth. Centuries have rolled away, and
Gethsemane still remains in its gloom and
loneliness, a perpetual memento of the an
guish of the "man of sorrows."
RNEN.
The Bible says but little about the scene
that will open before the Christian- after
death, and that little is in language very gen-.
eral and figurative. But what of that? i he
believer surely can trust his God. Why
should he krish to know fully concerning
those things which 'eye bath not seen, of
which the ear bath not heard, and of which
the mind of mortal man cannot form per
fect apprehension? Inquisitiveness must be
restrained. We must be satisfied to know
that in heaven perfect and eternal happiness
will be experienced. Yes, fancy may paint
before us the purest pleastire and the most
exalted joys, and they will be more than re
alized. Hope may expand to her utmost
limit and faith soar to her loftiest heights,
and there is no danger that the heart willibe
disappointed. Disappointed in heaven ?
No! Sweeter bliss than the most fertile im
agination can conceive, purer and more per.
feet enjoyment than the Christian can antici
pate, await him there..*
All past evil will be forgotten, and the
future be entirely free from sorrow. Every
blessing which a holy and intelligent being
could desire will be provided. The society
of all the good that ever inhibited earth,
and the angels who have never sinned, and,
what is infinitely more desirable, the fellow
ship and love of God the triune, will be en
joyed. Oh! how ravishing the anticipation.
To sec the great white throne, the fountain
gushing frodi beneath it, the river of life,
the tree of life, the glory of the Lord; to
wear the crown and bold the palm of victo
ry and strike the golden harp; to hear the
anthem of angels and all the redeemed, and
see the smiles of Jesus; to join the song of
triumph, to have unfolded to our view the
great mysteries of redemption, and learn
more and more the wonderful nature of
God, and the astonishing perfection of his
works-to do and experience this and yet
be so constituted as to feel no weariness ;
to behold eternal day and need no night to
bring repose; to see eternal sunshine, and
require no shadows to make us better ap.
preciate the full splendor; to eat but never
to feel satiety ; to drink, but never become
intoxicated; to glide along on a calm sea
that never has a rilple; to sing with mail
lions, and not one note of discord, and all
the while the voice becoming attuned to
higher and sweeter strains, the ear accus
tomed to-drink in more delicious melodies,
the mind expanding to comprehend riicher
truths, and the heart developing to the ex
pression of purer and fuller love !
Perfection, and going on to perfection!
Glory, increasing glory ! Praise, higher
praise ! 0! this is heaven. This is what the
poor, toiling, careworn, sick, disconsolate,
dying believer will experiernce wihen be has
crossed the ril of death, and reaches the
celestial city.
FAiTH, HOPE 10 CHARITY.
The paths of life are numerous-right and
wrong--pleasant and easy-intricate and be
tween with thorns. Who journeyson through
the maze of circumstances which infallibly
present themselves to mortal view, having
faith at his right hand, may succeed in gain.
ieg the open road and travel therein unto
the end. And he whose heart pulsates with
hope sinks not easily ; his mind, fortified
under its influence, succumbs to no ordinary
obstacles ; lhe has a friend by his side full
of might and courage-a cheerful compan
ion, who encourages, assists, and. even when
one hgemountain of trouble is overtuned,
attacks another, should It he pre.
se= ye em Ininag cnnsiant to the
end of life's journey. Yet antoher friend
would fain lighten the heart of man, and
cheer him on his way through life-a sweet,
consoling, sympathising friend, whose saim
pie name is Christ. Would that man listen
to har precepts and exercised them more
fully among his fellows! What heavenly
peace surrounds and accompanies through
life the mortal who acknowledges and obeys
her dictates! What biekerings, jealousies,
hatred, anger and strife, would not the full
exercise of this heavenly firtue remove!
Charity, thir sister! thou art the mainspring
of all virtues, there is a holy influence in
thy name; it is a purification to nature; it
is a balm the angels use; an inexhaustible
fount of peace and love, and good will to
wards men. In all things, Charity, keep
Faith at thy right hand; let Hope be the
pole-star of thy mind. But Charity is a
priceless jewel; bind her to thy heart with
the virgin gold of love; she asks no other
sustenance than tears.-Fanily Friend.
MARY AND HER MOTHEL
"Mother, why do you read the Bible so
much?" said little Mary ; "haven't you read
it all through?"
"Yes, my dear, a great many times," said
her mother.
" Well, then, you must know all there is
in it by this time, and yet you read it every
day." .
- "Do you remember, last summer, Mary,
when you were away at Miss Brookes'
School "
"Yes, mother."
"You told me that when you got a letter
from home, you used to read it over and
over till it was almost worn out."
" And so I did, mother."
" Well, what made you read that letter
so often ? you knew all that there was in it.
" Because it seemed a pleasure, and made
me think about home, and you, and faither."
"So, my dear, I read over some parts of
the Bible that I have read hundreds of times
before, for the same reason, that it reminds
me of my home, of my heavenly Father,
and my Saviour, and of what he wishes me
to do; and therefore I love to read it."
" Is heaven my home too, mother?" said
little Mary: " shall you take me with you
when you go ?"
" I cannot tell you, my dear; I cannot
give you leave to go to heaven, but I know
who can."
"Ah, you mean Jesus Christ, mother."
"Yes, my dear, you must ask him; and
you must read and learn to understald this
Book, which is like a letter from Him to us
to tell us all about himself and heaven.
When you can, I hope you will love to read
the Bible as much as I do."
TuE TRIAJ.S OF LAFE.-Lif4 is not entirely
uiade up of great evils of heavy trials; but
the perpetual recurrence of petty evils and
small trials in the ordinary and appointed
exercise of Lhe Christian graces. To bear
with the fhilings of those about us-with
their infirmities, their bad judgment, thei
ill breeding, their perverse tempers-to en
dure neglect when we feel we deserve atten
tion, and ingratitude when we expected
thanks-to bear with the company of disa.
greeable people whom Providence has place~
in our way, and whom He has perhaps pro
vided or purposed for the trial of our vi,tue
-these are the best execises of patience
and self denial, and the better because not
chosen by ourselves. To bear with vexgtion
in business, with disappointment in our ex
[peetationls, with interruptions of our retire
mnent, with folly, intrusion, disturbance-in
short, with whatever opposes our will, con
tradicts'our humor-this habitual acquies
eenee appears to be more of the essence of
self-denial than any little rigors or inflictions
of our own imposing. These constant, inev
itable, but inferior evils, properly improved,
furnish a good moral discipline, and might,
in the days of ignorance, have superseded
pilgrimage and penance..tHannak Moore,
