lfo Hlgbt in Heaven.
" And there thai I be ho night there.--Rev. 25, 5.
No night slytll be in heaven?no gathering
gloom
Shall o'er that glorious landscape ever come.
No tears shall fall In sadness o'er those flowers
That breathe their fragrance through celestial
bowers.
No night shall be in helves?no dreadful
hour
Of mental darkness, or the tempter's power;
Across those skies no envious clouds shall
roll,
To dim the sunlight of tbe enraptured soul.
No night shall be jit heaven. Forbid to sleep.
These eyes no more their mournful vigils
keep.
Their fountains dried?-lh?ir tears all wiped
away; '
They gaze, undnzzled, on eternal day.
No night shall be in heaven?no sorrows
rsign?
No secret- anguish?no corporeal pain?No
shivering limbs?no burning fever there:
No soul's eclipse?no winter of derpsir.
No night shall be in heaven-^-biit endless
^ lL * noon ;
No fast declining sun nor waning moon ;
But Ui?re the Lamb shall yield perpetual
light,
?? 'Mid pastures green and waters erer bright
No night shall be in heaven?no dsrfHMMj
room.
No hed of death nor silence of the tornb;
But breezes ever freehpvilli love and truth.
Shall braee the frame with an immortal
youth.
No night shall be in heaven?but night is
here?
The night of sorrow and the night of fear..
I mourn the ills that now my steps attend,
. Andshrink from others that may yet impend.
No night shall he in lieaven ! Oh, had I faith
To jresl in what the falUiful Witness saith?
That Faith should make these hideous phantoms
lloe.
And leave no night henceforth on earth to
me.

when alio suddenly started to her feet, pi

down the mossy avenue, her flat throwp. M ;

When f aro*e to my feet, Louise was SI
standing beside a tali, handsome, dark- ar

her waist, rikI her little snowy band wrs

back to the party. SI
A few moments nfter, the stranger af

knew liirn, and one of them turned
to me and ?aid, "Mr. , allow mo tl
to introduce you to my friend, Frank in

a troubled expression, then walking Hp er
to Louise, whispered something into her lo

Dkcisiok.?More than half a eentuv
ego, a boy waa put apprentice to one
f otir ordinary trade*. There era#
othing very remarkable about him,
ritli. p-obnbly, one exception : he prouiaed
to be a pious lad. But, alas I in
lis case, ns in many.others, his early
yolnesa soon passed away. lie had
o sleep with an ungodly apprentice;
md, on retiring to rest, shame of being
eon to prav. so shook his firmness, that,
ike his wicked companion, he hurried
o bed without bending the knee. His
egftrd for old lesson* got less and lese :
;?v and by lie threw them off altogether,
and scCmed like a boy who had
lever known anything better.
In cotirse of time, however, another
tppreniice came to his master. He alio
slept in the same room. Like a lad
rcenstorned to pray, the new apprentice
piietly knelt to offer prayer to God on
ctiting to rest. This was seen with
loep emotion by iho other. Co' -.c'ence
at once and severely condemned
I.is want of firmness. <
Shame to pray in the presence of his
fellow apprentice, was the first step in
Ids downward course. The poor, unhappy
and fallen vonlli was once more
brought to reflection; and -with n firmer
purpose than ever, he consecrated
himself to the service of God. In af'er
life he became a useful and honored
minister ; and a monlli or two ago, after
tinning very many to rigl?tcousne>s,
he passed away to glory. The minister
whs the beloved and reverend John Angell
James, of Hirminghr.m. How
much harm may we got from one act
of indecision ! and how much good mav
be done by one act of firmness! Who
can tell what may bo the lesult from
tlio turning of an apprentice boy to
goodness ? Who cannot be useful ?
'I his example of juvenile decision was
die means of turning a poor apostate
youth to a course whose issues eternity
ean nlono reveal.
