'AITIM " Blessad are they who die in the Lord." DY ALF. BUaSETT. I watched beside a dying child, And mourners stood around, While others wept, he only smiled 4nd prayed to lie unbound Prayed that his spirit might go free, And soar to realms a far Immortal realms of purity, Beyond the shining star! I stood beside a maiden fair, When on her dying bed And saw the tears of d'rk despair By friends, and loved ones, shed: But smiles alone lit up her eye, As when she bade farewell; And peacefully-resignedly In death's cold arms, she fell! I stood beside a dying man, In agony and pain * His cheek was thin, and pale-and wan And fever racked his brain! Yet ever and anon, he prayed, And with his latest breath, Did tell of wondrous love, essayed Of love, unquenched in death! I gazed on o-e whose locks were gray, Whose form was bent with years, Who'd journey'd down life's weary way, Amid its smiles and tears; I saw him tottering toward the grave, With caln and peaceful breast: In faith the lid man's heart was brave, With faith his heart was blest! Oh! blessed hope, to mortals given, Which, on the bed of death, Can point the partingpsoul to Iheaven, With life's last fleeting breath! Thrice blessed Faith-how pure-how free Its fountain-how divine it springeth iever ceasingly Oh! he it, FATHER, Mine! THE DUTCR.AN'S EXPERIENCE. - BY R n U. IBBARD The testimonies of our brethren who have attested that God is merciful and good, as I have often heard them in our love tast., are not only instructive but also always animate and cheer the soul. And although some of our Dutch brethren speak English incorrectly yet to hear them relate the means of their conver sion, as I have heard some, at once evinces their sincerity and is the evidence of the work of God's grace in tLeir hearts. I wish I could re late one as it was spoken in love feast more than thirty years ago, when the Methodists first be gan to preach in the northern part of the State of New York. I have forgotten his name, but the substance of his testimony is as follows. IHe said, "Mine dear bredren, I want to tell you nomo iine experience. When de Mttodist first came into deie parts, I toL I was doing very well' for mine wife and I had two sons, Ned. and Jiam; and we had1 a good farim dat Ned and: I could work very well, so I let .Jimn go' out te work about fourtecen miles off fronm home. Bui de Metodists c.umne into our parts and Neddy went to dare meeinig, and he got converted, and I tot we shord all be undone; so [ tohld Ned be must not go to dese Metodists meeting for sc much praying, and so much goin' to meet i would ruin us all. But Nedldy said, 'C) fader,1 must serve de Lord, and save miy soul.' Ut said, ' ycu must do do work too.' So I gav< him a hard stint on de day of dare imeetinig but he wor'' so hard dat he got his stint done and went to he meeting after all. While I sel on my stoop and smoked mine pipe I see bin go up dehbill to de Metodist meeting ; and I sait to mine wire Elizabet, ' we shall be undone, foi our Ned will go to dese meetings;' and she said 'What can we do ?'-' Well,' I satid, ' den ivwil stint him hardler,' and so I did several time: when de meetinga conme. But Neddy worke< hard and sonmetinmes he got seine boys to helj him, so dat he would go oftr to de meeting while I set on mine stoop and smoked unmi pipe I could see Ned go over de hill. 1 said on day, '0O mine Got, what can I do--dis boy wi1l go to dese meetings after all I can do.' So wher Ned come homie I said, ' Ned you mxust leavi ol going to dose meetings, or I wvil! send foi Jim to come home, and send you away.' 't. fader, I must serve de Lord and save my soul. ' Well, den I will send for Jium,' so I sent foi .Jimn ; and when Jim come home. den I heart he had been to the Metodist meeting where he had lived, and was conver'ted too. And Net and Jim both said, 'U fader, we miust arv de Lord, and save our sotds.' But I said to mim wife, ' D)ese Metodi:-t must be wrong ; da wil undo us all, fihr da have got Neil and Jim bot: I wish you wonid go to dare meeting, and vol can see waat is wrung ; but Nedl and Jim can' see it.' So dl. next mzeetinmg day de old womam went wizd Ned and .Jim. But I set on miii stuoop, and smoked mine pipe. But I said te mineself, 'I ge:.s dese 3Metodlists havc got danr mnatch to get the old wvonman, and she wi .se< what'~s wronig. So I smoked mine11 pipe, am lookt to see demi conie back. By and by I ses dem coinlg ; and when da come near I see de tears run down mine wife's face. Den I said '0O mine (ut, da have got die old woman too. I tot I was undone, for da have got Nod ant Jim and de old woman, and when da come o: de stoop, mine wife said, '0 we must not speal against dis people of Got.' Bitt I said notun for I had not been to any of dese meetings, so was in great trouble. But in a fewv days after heard dat dare was a Presbyterian muissioniara going to preach a little ways off; so I toti would not hurt any body to go to dis meeting and I went wid Ned and Jim, and mine wife aind he preacht but dare was nothing done ti] after de meeting was over, and deni d:tre was two young men in de toder room dat sung an< prayed so good as any body ; and da p~rayedl foi dare old haider too. And many cried and I to dat di prayed very weel. After dis I was going out of the door to go home 'and a woman said to me, ' Mr. -, you mnua be a happy man to have two .,ueh voting me:~ as denm dat pirayed.' 1 .-aid, 'Wats tdat Ned an' .Jim?' She said, 'Yes.' ) I felt so mnail te tink da had prayed for me, and expos.edl me he fore all do people. But I said nothing, but wens right to bed. But now mine mind wa:s morn troubled dan ever before, for I began to tii how wicked I was to stint poor Neddy so hard and try to hinder him from savimg his soul-bu I said noting; so I tried to go to sleep; but a soon as I shut tuine eyes, I could see Ned gomn over de hill to go to his meeting, after he ha done his hard stint, so tired and weary. Den felt worse and worse ; and by and by'I groanei ont and mine wife axt what's de matter, I said 'I believe!I am dying.' She said, ' Shall T cal up Ned and Jim ?' 1 said, ' Yes." And Jim cain to de beud and said, '0O fader, what is do mat. terV? I said, 'I believe!I am dying.' And hi sail, 'Fader shall I pray f.'r you ?' I said, '( yes and Neddy too.' And glory be to Got, I be lieve he heard de prayer for dough I felt ni si,s like a mountain load to sink me down, t< hell, I ci ied, '0O Got, have mercy on me a poo: sinner;' and by and by I feel soimeting run all over mue, and split miine heart all to pieces; and I felt so humble and so loving dait I rejoice and praise Got, and I am resolved to serve Got mut Ned and Jim and mine wife, and de Metodists. GOOD ?EWS. N~o poverty there ! Millions of good men have left the earth poor ; but never has one entered Iheaven poor. Lazarus the moment be fore he,died, was a beggar at the gate, but in ai inom~nt after his death his estate Tiad grown so dast that the haughty worldling, still survivzg in all his influence, in comparison with him was a penniless pauper. 0, poor believer ! rejoice in prospett of your grand inheritance ! It is "incoirrtr tible, undefiled and fadeth not away." it.i a if.:.m..as inestimable. unsneakable. Has it not been your endeavor to "lay up (for yourself) treasures in Heaven?" Why not of. tener think of results there ? Fear not. There is good news from that " far country." Unsuc cessful as you may seem on earth, your Heav- f< enly schemes have all prospered. The treasury of 'God overflows with your wealth. And it is safe-perfectly safe. Neither " moth nor rust" corrupts it ; nor can " thieves" break through t. steal it. Moreover, it shall in. crease-forever increase. As long as you live 9 on earth, you may add to the principal, and its interest will multiply. beyond all computation, to all eternity. Croasus was rich, Solomon was rich, Luculus was rich, and the Rothschilds are rich-but the humblest heir of God is richer far than all. It may be that the stores you have already accumulated in Heaven, would'buy this town, buy the district, buy our country. buy the world-and still be comparatively untouched. Nay, think not this extravagant I I would not barter the heritage of the most destitute of Christians for the whole globe and all its im I provements. Lift up your heart ; let it expand, and fill and overflow with bliss. At the close of P the short journey through time, you will see eternity open before you, all radiant with the variety of your boundless and endless posses sions. Be not proud, indeed-alas, for the folly 1i of all pride !-but, be grateful, thankful, hope ful and happy.-Stockton's Sermons. - - - -TH E T R EE W I E S. " You saved my life," the master said, " At risk of yours, my faithful Ned; And that a service so immense May fail not of such recompense As lies in human means to make, (Would mine were god-like, for your sake!) Three dearest wishes straight unfold, Each shall be granted soon as told." "Well den," grinned Ned with ivory show, "Since massa please to hab it so, My firs' s'ai be for-for-eyah!
