To submit to an inevitable evil, will find an apology in its necessity} but perish, when by a single exertion, or a simple application of a remedy, wo may live, betrays an unpardonablo insensibility.? The principle of death, with all ita attcnJ A 1 xl. - 2 ? ? 1 - * ' l uuuii uvub, au? uiu principle 01 eternal ino, through Christ with its elevated enjoyments j the fear of death, 011 one hand, to alarm, and the love of eternal life 011 the oth^r, to persuade, aro but different modes employed to accomplish the same object. There is a spirit of love in both, and to resist their merciful intentions, is to incur the highest censure. The loss of an object is not to be estimated by itself, but by the adverse evils which that loss inflicts. The lo.sfj of eternal lifo excludes the .soul, not only from its pleasures, but consigns it to the most excruciating remorse. Preparation for <leatli is ono of the * plainest lessons taught by revelation, and one which the providence of God has enforced more impressively than any other. For nothing else has there ever been such an august and imposing array of motives to bear upon the consideration of man. It Kccmw as if the wisdom of God had exhausted itself in striving to accomplish this end. And when we look for a corresponding effort on the part of man, alas ! there is a marked, a painful negligence, aggravated by a preparation for everything else.? The death of a friend may oxoite a momentary fear, lest we may fall the next; but we soon recover our confidence, aud float as tvirolessly upon the stream of life, as though there were no dangers to surprise us. u .i_? i:... - J. __i-- t-_i jyvuiy uuy jfuu nv?:, not ouiy urmg.s yon nearer the grave, but lessens your ability for preparation. That which you .seek with ko much fondness at the expense of yo\ir spiritual good, will cover you hereafter with shame and dishonor. The experience of tho world should teach you the vanity of nil earthly advantages. The attainment of the highest distinction is no security against the evils of lifo^ and nothing will be of any permanent advantage to you, that is disconnected with your duty to man, and your duty to God. The secret of human happiness consists not in wealth ; not in human honor; not in sensual pleasuro; but in a sanctified affection. This, and only this, can nrni you lor unit paumii crisis, wnicn will occur in th? history of every man.? Had wo nothing by which to determine what sphere of life God intended us to move in, but our capacities for enjoyment, we would select heaven as the proper clement of our being. Tt is an unpardonable disregard of our interest to prosecute these objccts that degrade such capacities. The costly expenditures of divine grace never would have been made, were our importance like that ot tlic brute that perisiietn. Kisc, then, to the station which God design* you to fill. Thero is a real ami a solid dignity in such a station. It libera tea you fro.n the scrvitndo of sin. It elevates you abovo tho ignoble fear of death. It unites you tofiod, by a relation tho most pleasing. It clothes you with honor, glory, and immortality.? Itise ! my perishing fellow creatures, rise ! The hour of death is at hand ! The day of grace is ebbing to its finish ! The grave is almost open to receive you ! Your friends ore almost gathering around your remains to pay you the last testimony of respect! Your funeral requiem in almost ready to bo Ming ! The bell is almost tolling you^funeral knell! Another month, an. other day, another hour, and all may be a reality ! "Time is short! ask deathbeds, and they vfill tell you."?tS'uarc'n Sermons. Tub Tkst of Lovk.?The test of lovrt to Christ is, that wo keep his eomrnandjnonts;" and the remotnbranee of how jnuch ho has done nod suffered for us, should qnickon our foot in tho wny of oV>< dionce.

Hi* love will constrain us. We shall feel the attractions of His cross and ponder our obligations His grace. Every prinoiplo of justico, and every sentiment of gratitude? every dictate ot our judgment, and every emotion of our heart will prompt ub to run in tho way of his commandments. Under the influence of love to Jesus, duty will be cheerfully performed, trial magnanimously sustained, and prosperity meekly employed. Not "drawing back into perdition," nor resigning om- hope of heaven through love of earth, nor selling our birthright for a moss of pottage ; but cheered by the promises of God sustained by the grace of Jeans, and strengthened by the might of the Spirit, we shall be able to " comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth, length, and depth, and height of "the lovo of Chriot." ?lh v.

"Have you money," said the gentleman. " Nothing but fivo guiueas, the gift of an aged mother," said I, common leamiu-j, Irish honor, and a-grateful heart to any one that will put me in a way to be useful.', " Why," said the inan, smiling, "I like your frankness, and really will venture to trust something to that face.
