Remember, then, wheso hands have crashed,
Those flowors, and coldly torn apart;
y The tendrils of that vino, so long,
Most fondly twined around uty heart:
Farewell! nor tkiuk that I regret,
, That thus thou oasts aside to-dar.
The heart that teould hat e hired thee ?till,
Though all the irorfd had turned utcay.
Ah no 1 for It were better far,
To let the tic be severed now ;
Tbatt watch tbo heart grow cold and strange,
And shadows gather on the brow :
I'd rattfef keo my fairest floWer,
Torn from its slam and east away
Than know that alowiy, hour by hour,
'Twas falling sadly to decay.

iron in politics, now let us have it in agri'
euTture. M.
Tm<i? uuts on Chmistia* Pi;tt.?A cvlebrated
diriiiu has declared that nil religion consisted
iu right thinking, right feeling, and |
right aeting in rotation to tJod. Thin is cer
tainly a comprehensive and correct definition.
What then are sumo of tlio duties wo owe to
(Jod as respects our actious? I would bvro
state that if our thoughts and feelings ho correct
in reference to Qod and ourselves, then
our actions tuuet bo correspondingly so. Our
first duty then, will be to o^n and honor tiod
by a public profession of faith in hiin. " Out
i of the abutiuanco of tho heart tho mouth
! kpnakctb," and having bclitvcd with tko
hoarl unto righteousness," is it hut right "that
wo repeat confession with the mouth T Tho
command is, " Deny thyself, tako up tliy cross
an?f follow Christ." " Whosoever therefore
shall confess-mo before men, him will I ennf.Sf.
etc." And he thut takcth not his cross
and followoth after me Is not worthy tif inc."
In the days of pure Christianity there wcro
no christians but made open ntid public profusion
of their faith in Christ. But in these
latter days, when tho world' and the 'chur-h
six flooded with so uiunli spurious religion,
and the church has become so corrupt, to a
great extent by its confirmation to the firms
end fashions of the world, many who profuse
faith in Christ, refute fir rears, nnd some
unto death, to publicljr own God, autl connect
themselves witU ifie church, rhouhl that
church happen, to lie rigid !n discipline, or
is not euctigh confirmed to' to the world,
to farhion and ceremony to' ?nit tlieir t iste.- And
yet such profess loro and loyalty to
God, while supposing tholr fins to have t>?oii
tur&?ven at all, to the very Grst duty repaired
they rc'use to yield ohcdienco !
.1 do assert that such a declaration is a fair
teat of man's chrirturlly, and If hi* relig'on
will not stand tbif, It will I think, he exceed
Ingly diUcult t<i conceive on what grounds it?
genuineness can ho established.
Christ snys, " If yo lore roe yo will keep
ray commandments," "ye aro my friends if yo
do whatsoever I command." Or la It fur any j
one to lio a lover of the hlcsscd Josus, who
lives in the continued neglect of Ills dying |
instructions and thus declaring practically
that the world may remain ignorant as far n?

Scotrn MimiSteus.?Many amusing storio.i
are tolA of Mr. Robert Shirra, minister of the
Recession church of Kirkcaldy, Here are n
few that arc vouched for as authentic:
One Pundnv the heat or some other agency (
worldly-mlndodness, or possibly had ventila- ,
tion, caused a largo numhur of the congregation
to become drowsy. Mr Rhina suddenly
Stopped short, mid said :
'Hold np your beads, my frieuds, and mind
that neither saints nor (inner* are sleeping in
tlia other world 1"
Nearly every drowsy number heenmo attentive;
hut oromru foil aslerp again, and snored.
The minister stopped at ouce, and addressed
liitn ;
"John Stewart, Ibi* la the second time that
I've itoppit to awi^kcn j"?; hut t give you
fuir warnln' that if 1 nocd to atop again, I'll
xpose^-ou by naind to Ae congregation."
Ooec whop ho was reading tbo Tlth Psalm,
"I will run the way of thy commandments
when thou shall enlarge tny heart," he snid :
" Well, David wba' ia your flrwt resolution.
' / Hill ruft.' Run away, David, what hinders
you? What l? your next? 'I will run the
tppy of thy rcw??iifiwfNh.' Better rnn yet*
David. What ia your next ? 'T will run the
way of thy commandments trhm thmi thnft

of Professor of Theology, I fearyd that tho
frequuuer with which I should have to pass
over the same portions of Scripture would
shale the iulcrcst of my own mind in reading
them; but after more than fifty years of
study, it is my exporictieo that with every
class my interest increase*."
Daniel Webster said : ' From the tiiae that,
at my mother's feet, or on my father's knee, I
I first learned to lisp verses from lha acred
Writings, tbey have hocn my daily study and
vigilant contemplation. If there he anything
in my style or thoughts to he commended, tho
credit is due to toy kind parents in instilling
into uiy iniud an early love of tho Scriilures."
Fisher Autcf said : " I will hazard tho assertion
that no man nrnr .mi t.*

reader of tba lliole, and nn admirer of the
purity and sublimity of its language.
The great Milton said: "There are no

no politics like those which the rienptaree

Kven the brilliant infidel RouMcnw said: "I

Wutfo kept a tavern in one of oar
Wn?rttn villages, but though hi* house
bad n very good n*me, it wns rntue
then lie hud himself, for it was sur
mired by hi* neighbors that ho used a
great deal of fodder, corn, etc.. which
lie had never paid f?>r, although it had
never been clearly proved upon him.?
Early oue morning he whs met by an
scquaintar.ce, named Wilkes, as he
was timing before liiin a heifer, which
lie had most probably borrowed from
toin^fai mer.
V Ilnlloa, Well#, where did you gel
the V.etfer !" cried Wilkes. (
" Bought Iter of Col. Steven*was
the unhesitating reply.
" What did vouvay for her!"
' Twenty dollar.,' said Wells, m he
hurried on.
About an hour afterwards, as
Wilkes was sitting in Well's bar room.
Col. Stevens entered. After a few
minutes' conversation, Wilkes said :
* A tine animal that you sold Wells."
' I don't understand you ; I never
sold Wvlls any animal."
" Didn't you f Why, T mot him this
mottling with a heifer, which he said
he l??>iighl of you for twenty dollar*.*"
''lie did, eh I Well, since he said
so, he has to pay tue for her, said
Steven*."
Wells entered soon after, and Stevens,
stepping up to him, said:
"Come, Wells, I'll trouble you for
the money for that heifer, it was a cash
bargain you know 1"
" I never bought any heifer from
voti."
" Don't yAu remcmher you 1,ought
one of me for twentv dollars I Lkrti's
Wilkv* call prove it."
' No'he can't," said Weils.
A curious exprefhion passing Aver
Well's lace ; he felt hi'hsrlf cornetcd ;
he had either to tell whete he got the
animal, or lose twenty dollar*; and,
thinking it not safe for him to do the
flr?t. he pulled out his wallet, counting
out the money, and handed it to Ste- .
vena, saving:
"So I did?so I did. I had forgotten
all about it : you must excuse tue."
