P1Y YOUR MINISTERS. 1. Pay him, because it is the ordination of God, "that those who minister at he altar should live of the altar." When G sent you your pastor, lie laid you under obligation to support him. The Head of the Church is too just to call a man from secular labors for his service, without giving a precept for his suste nance. 2.Pay your minister because you owe him aridt he precept is, "owe no man" Having had the time and service of your minister, you can no more deprive hin of his wages, without sin, than you could "the reaper of your fields." The money you subscribed is not a charity, bit a debt. 3. Pay your minister, that he may be worth paying; How can he give instruction, if poverty drive him out of his study to dabble in worldly business. How can he buy books and periodt cals without means ? How can he think and reason-closely. if you allow his mind to 4p tor tured with fears of debts and insolvency, and .keep him running from neighbor to neighbor borrowing money ? How can he go before the Church as a pioneer in Godliness, if you compel him to be continually struggling with pecunia ry embarrassments ? 4. Pay your ministers so that he can pay his debts. The would expects ministers to pay their debts punctually. Not to do this is to bring reproach upon religion. Can the umnister be punctual, if his people withhold the means? The shoemaker, tailor, merchant &c., want their money, and will you compel your minister to defraud them ? 5. Pay your minister, if you would keep him, or ever get another as good. It is a bad thing for a Church to get the name of "starving their ministers." We know soie Churches who do this! The curse of God seems to be upon them worse and worse. They will soon becoiue "like the mountains of Gibeon, without dew or rain !" 6. Pay your minister, because you promised to pay him. Not to do this is to forfeit your word. It is a debt of honor as well as of law. Your pastor has trusted to your w'rd, thrown himself and his family into your keeping. Will you prove unworthy of this confidence ? y. Pay your miniater, because you are able to pay hifh. How small is the pittance which falIsto your share! With a littlq extra labor or unusual economy, how easily could you pay your pastor promptly! Will you think of these things? THE DRUNiAtDS DEATI. What a spectacle is this! What a lesson does it teach ! The destruction of man's cor poreal frame is not pleasant under any circuni stances. The taking down his " clay taberna cle," even when the hopes to enter a " building - not made with hands,' in the upper skies, has .wmetbing mclancholV in it. But when we see a mortal stretched upon his dying ccuch whose life has been spent iu debauchery and revelry, what is there connected with him or his, either past or present, or future, that does not present the most horrible and forbidding aspect'? Life is gone-property wasted-character blasted - wife and children beggared-there lie lies upon his bed of straw,' with parched lips, bloated countenance, and blood sh.t eyes, the very per sonification of rain. Tossing upon his hard and comfortless coueh, panting for breath, and call ing for help, but all in vain. Death marks him for his victim; and now, if for a while he is relieved from frightful ghosts and demons which hitherto haunted his disordered imagination, conscience, the sleepless monitor, with redoubled vigor assails his still conscious soul, and brings up before him every act of his worthless life, to blast all hope, to plunge him in deeper agony, and to hurry his affrighted spirit intto the pres ence of his God. How loudly and bitterly does he complain of himself, of life, of friends, of God. He prays, but, it is the angry imprecration of a doomed spirit, demanding of his Maker a speedier discharge. Tihe wild glare of his scorched eyes, his restless tossing, his retching hiccough, -and his deep hollow groans, tell us how hard it is for a drunkard to die. The very presence of once loved wife and children, kinidle in his bosom, in advance, the very fires of lhell. The soothing voice of mercy and the plaintive prayer of the man of God kneeling by his bed aide, add fuel to the already raging flame. lie .calls for water ! water ! water ! now, ere he takes up his habitation where " one drop" will not be allowed him; but, alh! the cool draught oly adds force to the devouring fire. Friends gather around to take a last farewell, and his tremulous hand is extended to bid them adieu; -thoughts of the past and of the future send their withering arro~ws, barbed with the poison of death, to his bursting heart ; and with one strong, agonizing struggle, his ruine soul stag gors into the spirit land, to receive its sentence. Pity, compassion, humanity, would let the veil drop here, and cover up till the great assize the doom of the deluded, misguided wretch ; but Divine truth has said, "All drunkards shall have their portion in the lake that burneth with fire and brimston."-Spirit of the Age. Tnt Mo-ruin's CinEs.--"When I consider the anxieties oif mothers, I wandler how inany of them can be sustained without religion. So many watchful hours, so many periods <of suspenlse, so many days of anguish, when their ollnprmg are ill, or in danger. Surely grace is doubly sweet to one in such circuszstances. Ihow unwise, eternity apart to remain without so great a solace! "Jt is true that religion bring~s anxieties all ats own to tho mothers heart. Hfaving' learn'ed to be concerned about her own soul, she becomes concerned for the sorid of her child. Matny a petition ascends over the couch of infancy. Only in eternity can we learn the valuo of such nursery devotions. A mother was onco heard to say, . "never did I take one of my numerous children to my bosom for nourishment, that I did not at the samie time, lift up my heart to God in praiyer, that he would bestow on it his salvation." 'lhe case of Monica, the mother of Augustine, is well known. Her son was yet unconverted, profligate, and addicted to the heresy of the Manichees. She went with her cares to a pious minister of Christ, who, after witnessing her aniguish and her devotion, dismnissed her with these words: "It is impossible that the son of such prayers and tears be lost." "What powerful inducements arc here offered for mothers to become true Christians. An un ehristian and prayerless mothers! L'et the very phrase carry horromr to the soul, anid drive the oonvinced sinner to God." AxoIn.-Prayer is the great remedy ninmst anger; for it must suppose it in sonie degree re~ moved before we pray, and then it is the more likely it will be finished before the prayer is donse. We must lay aside the act of~ anger, as prepara. tory for prayer; and the curing the habit will be the effect and blessing of prayer, so that if a man to cure his anger resolves to address him -self to God by prayer, it is first necessary that by his own observation and diligence, he lay the anger aside, before his prayer can be fit to be presented ; and if we do pray, anid so endeavor, we have all the blossinigs of prmayer wich God hath promised to it to be our security forsuccess. Humility is the mnost excelleut natural cure ihr anger in the world ; for he that lby daily considl. eringe his own infirmities nmakces thme error of his neighbor to he his own case, anmd remnembers that he daily needs God's pairdona and his broth er's charity, will not he alpt to rage at thme faults of another; greater than which he' feels that he is frequently and more inexcusably -guilty of. Jeremy iyyor._ Tamx TfwE~rf-TInD I'5.U.M.-1What a quiver full of arrows for the Christian's use against all }us foes, is that beautiful twenty-third Psalmi. Let us read it: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want; He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters; He restor. eth myv soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name saka. Yea, though I walk through the vallevof the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for 'l'hou art with me; Thou preparest a table before me in the presencet of my enemies; thou annoinitest miy headl with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life ; -a I~ wildel in thehouse of the Lord forever.' NOTHING BUT AN HONSST HEART, nY IIERMLIE. Nothingl and whit more would you have, young , when that is all, indeed, and the rest littleess that nothing? Smile on now, in quiet happiness, for with that blest assurance you may look with hope upon the future; there will be no ills, and griefs, and heartaches, but still will throb an honest man's heart to love you. Nothing I Are the pure devoted love of an honest heart, the generous impulses of a noble soul, the virtues which insure your future happi ness to be counted nothing? AhI rather let prayer arise on high to Him who has given you so much of happiness. How many as young, as good, as lovely,.bend the knee to ask Almighty God the precious boon of an honest heart to love them. A time must come when youth, and grace, and loveliness will fade away; when hopes and dreams, and yearnings change to quiet, all trust in Providence-when earth's surface will seem void of dazzling roses, and life's sky unlit by glorious sunheams-when friends, and relatives, and lovelineas will pass before you to the grave; but still will bloom sweet flowers of happiness along life's way, and softened, holier sunlight flood the sky, if on the desert land there throbs an honest heart to love you. Nothing! There will be anhouria.which earth, with all its pomp and showy wealth, with its pleasures and delights and beauty, with its charms and power, will seem to you like nothing;.while the memory of a love that blest maidenhood,aud cheered you mid the storms of life, that went be fore you and gave your spirit strength to follow, that crushed the thorns of ailliction placed upon your brow, and culled each flower that blossomed on life's way, will rise in pleasautness before you; and while your spirit, quiet and .serene, awaits death's suinuion4 from this world, reimem ber that the peace, the crown, the happiness is yours, because of the virtue, truth, and bright example of the honest heart that loved you. DRINKING AMONG YOUNG MEN. The Philadelphia Sun says truly, that indis criminate drinking among our young men must eventually make its mark upon the population of our cities. We can see it already betraying itself in the rising generation. It is impossible for any man to drink even pure liquors six or seven times a day without sufiering severely in constitution. And when he transmits this im paired constitution to his son, who in turn im pairs it still further by the same course, it re quires little foresight to see that we are preparing a population for our cities that will not in phy sical frame be much better than the wretched Aztecs. This love of drink and bar-rooms is every day increasing. Every day sees fresh sa loons starting up in our midst. Every day sees our youth becoming more and nore the victims of this habit, for really we think it more a habit. than a provision. It is no love for joviality that tempts them, except in a few cases. It is not the hot exuberance of youth. It is not the evanescent impulse of the gay young fellow w) -o is sowing his wild oats. It is, as has been said, a cold, deliberate, coufirmed habit. No atmos phere of recklessness or jollity surrounds the drinking groupes, except on occasions, and no peals of merriment atone for theact, by proving that it is at least unusual. A grim and melan choly air pervades each countenance. The drinks are poured out, the glasses raised and touched with a loathsome air of custom, and each man swallows hii lrtion with the same impassive countenance he would wear if he were drinking a glass of plain water. All the concomitants that partially redeemed or excused, are wvanting in this sad and formal ceremony. The actors drink, not because they love it, and want to be merry, but because they have been accustomed to it ever since they were boys, and that has now become a habit which is 'muoro imperious than if it were passion. " TIIY WILL BE DONE? "I shall never be happy again," quivered the pale lips; " earth and sky are alike dark to me, since they laid my only one in the dust." " Does religion, then, afford you no consola tion ?" asked the white-haired pastor solemnly. "IDoes niot the thought that you shall go to him lift t his veil from your spirit?" "No, no; I know nothing, think of nothing, but that I have lost him-.dost him. All is a dead blank ; my heart is like a stone. O,1I would give worlds to lose this weight ! worlds, worlds !" "And if I abould say that this terrible weight may be cast off; this cold heart he made warm again !" "0O tell me how, 'for I am in despair!" she cried. "In one year, dear madam," Maid the white haired man, " my only son, grown to manhood, was drowned; my wife laid in the grave; my daughter takemn from ime by death, and mny own health so prostrated that 1 could iio longer miin iter in hlyi thingr. to my peolel." " llow sad !" cried the young wvidow, clasping her hands, whiie her eyes filled. "Ihow did you. how could you bear it ?" "'By looking up to my Father, aind ..iying, ' Thy will be done on earth as it, is in heaven.' Is thme p~rayer new to you?~" "0, no," murmured the disconsolate onie, her pale face bowed upon her hiands; "1 say it every day, ha;t I never felt it." The Slibathm day came romud, and the young widow. for the first time since her hiusbiad's death,'went to the house of God. On her way she met the whiite.hiaired man, and with a gen te hut r-uihmissive smile, she sid: " I can bear it now~." A light as from heaven beamed on his aged face. '" Then you find llis strenigth sufiicienmt ?" " Ye'," she answered. " It wvas a struggle, but as .soon as I felt it was right, thu load fell Anid the white-haired pa.stor, as lie stood up to talk to thme pjeople, took for his text the words: " Thy wvill be dlone." MrrMov aNu RoaroxiO-It is better that man and wife should be of one religious faith, but when they do unfortuniately differ, one should mot attempt to annov the other, for that would lead to discord anid mnisery : let each respect the oinion of the other. Timem, that, great healer of wounds, quietly adjust these kind of differ nces,. it' there by no stri Il to mar his efforts. CARRIAGE REPOSITORY ! C H RI STIE & H UR11LB ERT.
