i fi | | I, i - Mm From the Episcopal Recorder. YBE CT7IHE OF THET GRANTED PRAYER. It was a beautiful summer's evening, and the hist rays of the setting-nun threw a bright radiance upon two lonely ones, w!iq had else been dark in sorrow. * It wnS a young mother an J her first-born. Tno boy hud just crossed the threshold of early child. hood, and though disease had laid a heavy hand upon him, the lineaments of a lair and noble countenance were strongly marked. The soft, br-glit, curling hair ; the broad, expansive foreheud ; the finely arched brow; a noso anif mouth which might have afforded a study to a Grecian sculptor,- lending grace to an expression of intelligence beyond his yoars ; his eyes were closed in a disturbed slumber, and the frequent start and sol spoke of extreme bodily pain. The mother that bent over his couch was fuir and lovely too ; but her's was a countenance distorted by mental anguish ; with clapped hands and streaming eyes she prayed for his life. She prayed with that earnest, ag. ArtiTin? nraver which mothers only pray I . over their dying children, that he might bt spared to live for her?to be her comforl and her stay ; and then the thought came, perchance he may follow in a father's footstep-*, and ihou wilt be stricken mother as well as a neglected wife. No : that coulc never be surely the son for whom she hac borne so much, for whom she^Hiust expeel j to bear n|Mb rould newer prove an ungrnte ful child^ ami again she asked for his life, But as the shades of evening fell darkly around her the feeble pu!?c and labored brea th'Dg of her infant socmed to say, 44 The spirit must return to God that gave it.' Then what a wild prayer come bursting forth from that overcharged heart. Unwdling, unable to give him up?unable to resi entirely on the mercies of her heavenly Pother, she yet besought Mimio give her buck the hfe ot her child ut any risk. Long one rebelliously her sp;rit strove against wha eemed to be the will of her Master. Sue asked not for submission ; she asked not tc be enabled to say, 44 Thy will, not mine, be done." Slie had but one request, and thai she urged importunately,44 My child ! mj child !" M dnight carae? but the boy was still struggling between life and death. Tht morning dawned, and then first the mo'lnn felt the daivniugs of hope : moro peaceful slumber, and gentle, quiet breuthing visited the couch of the dying chil J. Vet with the joyful conviction that her beloved would be restored to her arms were miuged feelings of apprehensioo. Though not avowedly a disciple of the Savior, she had been leJ-to nuditii te deeDlv on the state of her soul, and ~m~ r ^ from iho frequent perusal of the Scrip'ures had obtained many and clear views of faith and practice , and she felt that she had not prayed according to the mind of the Spirit; that she had resisted the pleadings of that * still small voice" which bade her leave all in God's hand ; that she had, so to speak, wrested him from the hands of One wiser and morer loving than herself. Already the painful question occurred, "What iPthis boy so prayed for live to be a curse, rathei than a blessing to me ?" But new hope; chased away these doubts ; the unwelcome question was dismissed from her mind, anc he turned to the engrossing cares incident to his recovery. Years passed by. The sorrows of lift had gathered arobnd the mother of Ernest. The companion of her youth had been removed to the eternal world. She was in name as well as in loneliness a widow. Day by day twined new ties to bind her ro ht r first-born. Too young to be yet the stay he expected, his studious mind, his noble and grnrrous feeling*, seemed to give ground for every hope. The fair beauty of childhood liad given jriace to more manly grace, and -the lofty brow already shone with elevated intellect. Yet, although the mother had prayed often who him, and daily auked for hu conversion, she saw no tok?n for goood beyond a tone ofhigh moral feeling, He loved, respected, obeyed her ; he was reverent to his superiors, dutiful to his teachers, kind to his playmates. He read bis Bible when she wished it, but not otheiwise vhe attended the services of the sanctuary with her, but it was more because he Joved to attend her than from any pleasure )>o derived from the worship of God. Many envied her the possession of snch a son ; yet deep in the core of the heart of the now truly pious mother was felt the conviction, that ** weighed in the balance he wou'd be found wanting." The time drew near when 4n lh8 course of his visitations the Bishop was about to hold a confirmation in the -church which they attended. The mother took the opportunity of pressing upon. her is obligations to his God, and earnestly besought.him from this time to make his V .Father-ioteaven the guide of hie youth ; but the Itfiibeard her almost unmoved, and - ? her urgent entreaties seemed not only to produce coldness on his part, but for the first time in his life he felt her with anger and disrespect; left her to add sin to sin by reviling the pure and simple faith which that mother had taught him. He felt that he ? -??t l... ?:.l .L. _nv_? . c was sinning, uui wnn i:ie euuu ui a powerful mind strove against ail conviction. Years had again passed by,but a change iiad come over the spirit of that mother, and ehe no longer look pride in her son, for a change, a fearful change, had passed upon him too. Enticed by wild and vain companions he had turned aside not only from the holy religion taught him in his childhood, but from the high-toned morality and Reeling that had character zed him in the <Jays of his early youth. By slow but certain steps he had trode the downward path to ruin ; he had become reckless, dissinpaied, careless of friends and relatives, aye almost forgetful of the mother that bore him. The intellect from which admiring friends j had expected so much wns debased to low ends, and his reasoning powers were principally directed to the subversion of the little religious belief that yet remained iu his own bosom, and to the skdrui endeavor to turn the minds uf o hers from its contemplation. , >He,Tt>e graceful, the intellectual, the noble* "minded Ernest now stood before the world j an abandoned d'ssippatcd man, a confirmed and vaunting infidel. ' How oft in the shades of evening did tbnt mother seek her lonely chamber, and weep over" tho curse of her granted prayer.'* How often did- the midnight hour find het keeping Iter sad vigil, and praying still with all the fondness of un. dyingaffection for her prodigal son. Hum. bly an J submissively she now sought ihe feet of Jesus, and s rove to drink quietly tho cup for which she had asked. Nor did she go uwuy from a Father's throne unblessed. Though sti 1 the spiritual life of her child seemed to be denied, the boon of a meek und quiet spirit wasgran.ed her, and she reverently said, " Shall not ^ie Judge of all the earth do right V Cut off by his dissipated habits from the esteem and confidence of his fellow-men. Ernest ut lengdi found himself without those pecuniary resources which his activity and energy had hitherto procured him. Reason and conscience partially awoke, and he resolved io go to a distant clone, and there seek to retrieve his fallen honor. There was but one parting that grieved him, and as i he hung upon his mother's neck the strong I man was bowed. lie wep>, bitterly wept, , the long and sinful career of the pas!?<> .{few whispered vows of ain'*iidm?jiit, one i firm reserve to break the clia ns thai bound | j him, and Ernest a^ain entered the walks of | j busy and industrious life, vainly imagining : | himself to be a new creuiure. Vain indetd . ' are man's promses when not bas? d on sure , j foundations. Ernest trusted in his own . | poor strength, and despised ihe aid of ttioae . counsels contained in tho book of life, ; j which had been his mother's parting gift ; ' j and ho fell once more into the fuHies and > i vices of his former life. Once more had years passed by. A t i lonely chamber, u setting summer's sun, a . | low couch, on which lay a suffering foim, | and part of the scene of Ernest's childhood, j i was again realized ; but he was alone No i mother's hand to stnooih his pi.low; no moth; er's prayer to plead for him at heaven's g?tt: > no gentle voice to speak of a Savior's love. ? All .was- silent, dark and sorrowful. Over t the troubled mind of the dying Ernest came ' recollection's of his youthful hours. The s shades of evening gathered around : thev ; were t ut faint shadows of the deeper. d*rtc ness that was settling upon his soul. Doubt# I' w hich had long been driven from the mind of the sceptic now came like I'gtning fl.isht-* over his waking conscience. The reiign n 11 he had so oft reviled seemed to put on beau. 11 ty and strength as it was viewed in the light i of eternity, lie felt that he could no long { er despise it. The thunders of an insulied i law sooke terror to th s prostrate spirit, ill * 1 I . i was contusion, dismay and agony in mind i of tho last failing sinner. One vain attempt to pray, one bewildered cry for his child hood's nurse, and Ernest spoke no more. ; " Sirangers closed his eyes, and his grave I is in a foreign land." , Wo draw the curtain over the grief ol that stricken mother, and loave to others to t " Read what lessons may be read , Beside a sftfner'e dying bed."
