Reason nnd common sense should prevail

rich or poor, to expend their money

ntJfi such destinations and such wants, let
Christians conic as near as possible to the
Master's precept and to apostolic example,
in making religion cheap and its labors effective;*

prayer, " Thy Kingdom conic."
Fon.JivF.NKSs.?No aspect in which tho
Creator is presented to ua so clonrly exhibits
his bencticcnco. as that which represents
Ilim an continually exereising forgiveness
towards tho violators of His law. Xot tho
terribloness of His majesty so stirs our emotions,
nor does that constantly persorving
care, which our reason convinces us is over
active, so impresses us with a sooso of His
giodnoss. It subdues tho pride of hearts
which could never bo reached by the fe.'r of
punishment, or m?vcd by tho mandates of
4'lty. It draws tlic man into a closor and
V dearer communion with his Maker?a cum'
inunim ot feeling, which has nothing to du
with o nd, forma! reason.
Similar in kind, though infinitely removed
t in degree, are the nature and effects of human
forgivones?. Ii lias a power t?> break down
n r;ho barriers which pride ami selli'-hnoKS have

I- deoper love for each other than when thoy
.. have mutually confessed their errors and
1 been mutually forgiven, i iioro is a 11 <<> < >ty
f'f in tho position, but it in a humility from
no..>vhich all the.shame has been taken. If each

It Is unfortunately tho ca?o in regard to
human forgiveness, that if it duos not follow
"'ch'ifo upon the stops of tho offenco. it rarely
at all. It must always bo a positive
tobftot. People cannot forgive by forgetting.
?|, Time inoiifios, bat never totally extinguishes
the ro*entin?nt which arisos from an offence.
\Vhon this has summoned to its aid pride and
1 tho other passions, although its violence may
have passed away, it is far more unyielding
than %i first. The first voice that bids forgivones*
should be hearkened to?the first
opportunity embraced?Otherwise, the mftn
may pass on for years, cherishing an anger

plouding the whole aspect of bis life.

I give you ono from real lifo :
i Ten year# ago I wns seated in lUy office
i at No. 12, Wall-stroet, busily driving tlio
J quill, whon I heard a quiet step behind
j and then a mild voice inquiring if I hud
i the transcript of u certain judgment against
one J. (r. ().?the projector of the grsat
Peg-gho-wah-wah Company for selling Indian
Medicines. I looked up and s.v.v a
man whose twisted foot and palsied arm
were quite familliar to me, but of whose
iiamo or callinc I knew nothing.
" Yes," 1 replied, " I have the transcript."
" W'oll. I want it," he said, "I'm going
to collect it for the creditor."
" Going to collect it!' X exclaimed,

" What's that to me?" broko out tho
visitor, in a gruff, strong voice, quite different
from his lirst tones. " Perhaps you
don't know who I am. I'm Burling, the

Snobbish High Life.
The country is running wild. Extravagance,
folly, and fraud are tho great prevniling
vices of the times?the grand characteristics
of tho ago. It in manifestly
more or less in our cities and villages, and
its influence is scon in tho debasement of
men and women, and the complete ruin of
children. Every successful speculator or
fortunate operator must imitate, and if pos|

or a fantastic residence, but not a room in j

From tniinly. love-lit eyes.

She was ii oreaturo full of pride,
And full of lofty ??irs busido?
She would not smile on any.
Her suiters watched her every gaze,
llcr gl incos not their hearts ablaze.
And these were rich ami many.
She waltzed with grftoe. and polkn'd, too,
There were no figures but she knew,
How stately were her motions!
Her tapi'r fingers, sweetly gloved.
Seemed all the things in life she loved,
All else were simply "notions."
Thus whirling in the graceful dance,
And trying every ohaVin to entrance-She
paused! ami blushed! while o'er
Her cheeks ran tears! how pride was curst!
The string slys trusted, too. had burst?
Her /wops lay on the lloor.
She gathered them up and ran as speedily as
possible to the dressing room, and from there
home, and for several weeks was seen no more.
