Preparation for Death.
The aspcct of our subject suggests to us
the importance of prepaYation. While it
?l l l-.-i-i?l-ii- a... ? .1
. |uvuiuiuia tuu mciuuuuuij uuui, uiai aeatn
passed upon nil men, it reveals to ti.s the
pleasing intelligence, that if any man bclievo
in Christ, though he were dead, yet
nhall he live. 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. Wo should dread above all other
curses, tho doom of the "Wiokod and slothful
servant"?"wicked," f*:-av*c " sloth

saviour's soul, tho cross wo are called tc
bear will foci "light and easy," indeed 1?
i Wo shall count it an honOf to be employed
in any service for Ilim. Ilia will we shall
regard us our law ; and fiud that it is the
law of love. It will be our meat and oui
drink to glorify Ilim on the earth. To bt
silent in his praise trill bo impossible. 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."

tho other day in a stngo conch
all alono with an Irish gentleman, we beonmo
qnilo sociable, and ho gave tuo this
;?ccount of his life.
" When twonty years of ago I wa: at

and you may eat white bread in
your old age." At a littlo more than 21,
I sailed from Cork in the good ship, Queen
Dido, and landed in 57 days at New Castlo.
I hied me up to tho city in a trico, and wandered
through iW streets as a stranger for
l\vo <lnye, whon, on tho third, who should
I happen to meet butNed McClosky, an old
townsman. "Hallo!" said he, if this isn't
our old friend John Varnham ! Whon did

waiting for an answer,) what's your mot'.o?
enquired I, what is that. " A short hit of
ascntonco to direct you through lifo. You'll
have to lake one." "See," continued lie,
touching a flask of whiskey which he carried,
and pointing to a buxom looking hussy
that was just passing?" A short life and
a merry one, is my motto, good bye John,
I'll see you again"?and away ho flew half

whether for a sad or merry one, was a mat

Let 1110 see?when upon an inner door, 1
saw in largo letters?PUSH?"That bliall
be my motto," said I?and on the impulse
of the moment, my right band was on the
door, my foot over tho threshold, I found
myself in tho middle of an oftio.o of some
sort. After pausing a moment a genteel
man stepped up and enquired my business.
To tell tho bouest truth," said I, " none
special with any one mortal man in particular,
but I am an Irish lad, a perfect stranger,
just come to America to seek my for
tune." "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. Yon
can write very well?then copy that paper."
I did so, and found myself in a snug berth
with plenty to do for an industrious man?
plent}' to eat and drink for a temperate
man?and satisfactory compensation for a
reasonable man.
My employer was a scrivcner, and somotimes
dealt in tlie purchase of real estate,
on speculation. Hearing him deliberating
one day, doubtfully about a purchase,
" Push," whispered my good genius. " It
will not fail, sir, said I, and if 1 might be
permitted, I would gladly take half the bargain.
"On your luck and judgment, John,"
said my employer. Wo bought tho property
aided by a loan, and in ninety days re
I alized n thousand pounds. I was now two
and twenty; the blovm of my chcuk had
the freshness of youth and health?* pit or
two of the small pox did not mar my lookn;
my liair twisted about my forehead in clusters
of curls though I seemed careless about
them, were matters of some little vanity,
and I did not liko to part witt> tliein,

The same e\ nning roturning from hath

sultry, a sudden bustlo and cry of distress,
arrested my nttenlion, at that hour, in an
unfrequented place. Tho cry of a fellow
man in trouble is always you know, a command
to a true Irishman to Push. My enne
was my shelalah ; one villain reeled in an
instant with a broken head, and the other
twice my size, sunk benenth an arm that
was nerved by humanity and duty. Assistance

Then Push, and fortune you shall find.
TilEUr. is a vast (.leal of a certain kind of
originality ahout negro composition. Take
this example of an illustration, lately used
t>y a colored oxhortcr at an evening conference
mooting in the lower part of Philadelphia
: " My bred re n, God blosa yJfur souls,
'ligion is like the Schuylkill riber. In the
spring come the fresh, and lie bring in all
the old logs, slabs, and stick flat haW been
lyiil' on tie bank, and carrying dem down
in the current. Bimcby de water go down ;
den a log cotch here on dis island, den a
slab get cotohed on do shore, and de sticks
on de bushes ; and dere dey lie, wid'rin'
and dryin' till cornea 'noddcr fresh. Jist
so dere comcs vival 'ligion j dis old sinner

dure dey lie till nodder 'vival. JJelovcd

through the logical " divisions" of a
discourse which has not, in its whole compass,
so forcible an illustration aa this !
How Fashion's Change.?In 1828,
narrow skirts and large bonnets were all the
rage, * vast skirts and small bonnets are
now; and the press of 1828 was ns full of
squibs about large bonnets as the press of
1856 and 1857 lias been of squibs about
hoops. For instance an F<nglish pnper in
credited with tl e following account of the
advantages of a large bonnet:
"A lady was walking on a cliff at Margate,
with a child, when her bonnet flew
into the sea; the lady, starting to sffvo it,
fell, dragging her infant with her into the
ocean; fortunately, she and her child
fell exactlv in the. midxt. nf tliA
- v --- - ? """"V")
when tho lady, using her parasol by way of
scull, paddled herself ashore to tho great
admiration of the. spectators."
Fkmat.e Lawykrs.?The proposed admission
of females to practice in our courts
of law, flays C. N. Boveo, is subject to p. serious
objection. The handsome would win
all their causes, and tho homely would lose
thom. At least this is my feeling in the
matter. A beautiful woman, who has added
the graces of art to the charms of nature,
and who by assiduous cultivation has
made her mind as attractive as her porson,
would h.lVrt hilt litflo rllffini.lti. T :

Etkrmtv.?" Eternity lias no gray ha'as!"
The flowers fado, tho heart withers, man

Eternity! Stupendous thought! Tho
