There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief are over; Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever. Safely Home in Heaven at last I Did you wonder I so camly Trod the valley of the shade? Ah! but Jesus’ love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And be came himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s will. There is a work still waiting Aar you. So you must not idly stanjfr: Do it now while life femaineth— You shall rest in Jesus’ land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home : Oh. the rapture’ of that meeting! Oh, the joy to see you come ! — [Charlotte Murray. RIGHT IS MIGHT. As sure as God liveth, as the Holy one of Israel is the Lord of Hosts, the Almighty, right is might, and ever was and ever shall be so. Holiness is might; meekness is might; patience is might; humility is might; faith is might; love is might; every gift of the spirit is might. The cross was two pieces of dead wood, and a helpless unresisting man was nailed to it; yet it was mightier than the world, ami triumphed, and will triumph over it. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but no pure holy deed, or word, or thought. On the other hand, might, that which the children of earth cal) so, the strong wind, the earthfpaake, the fire perishes through its own violence, self-exhausted and self-con sumed. RESOLUTIONS OF LAVATER. I will never, either in the morning or evening, proceed to any business, until I have first retired, at least’for a few moments, to a private place, and implored God for his assistance and his blessing. I will neither do nor undertake anything which I would abstain from doing if Jesus Cnrist were standing visibly before me, nor anything of which I think it is possible I shall repent in the uncertain hour of my cer tain death. I will, with the divine aid, accustom my self to do everything, without exception, In the name of Jesus Christ, and as his disci ple; to sigh to God continually for the Holy Ghost; and to preserve myself in a constant disposition for prayer. Every day shall be distinguished by at least one particular wish of love. Wherever I go,I will first pray to God that I may commit no sin there, but be the cause of some good. I will never lay me down to sleep without prayer; nor, when I am in health, sleep, at most, longer than eight hours. I will every evening examine my conduct through the daj* by these rules, and faith fully note down in my journal, how often I offend against them. O God! Thou seest what I have here written. May 1 be able to read these my resolutions every morning, with sincerity, and every evening with joy and the clear approbation of my conscience. THE SABBATH A FRIEND. 1.
