I have lust my' whole fortune;" said a merchant as he returned one evening to his home, '*wo can no longer keep our carriage* We must leave this large housn*? The children can no longer go to expensiveschools. Yesterday 1 was a rich man. To day there is nothing I can cull my own." 'Dear husbnnd," said the wife, we are still rich in each other and our children ? Money may pass away, but God has given us a better treasure in those active hauls nod loving hears." *'De>>r lather," said the children, 4,do not look so sob* r. We w.U help you to gel a living."

"I shall help," said the youngest girl, hardly four years old. "1 will not have any new things bought and I shall sell my great doll." The heart of the husband and father, which had sunk within his .bosom like a stone, was lifted up. The sweet enthusiasm of the scene cheered hiin, and his nightly prayer was like a song cf praise.

The little dwelling which had always been kept neat, they were soon able to beautify. Its costruction was improved and the vines and flowering trees were replanted around it. The merchant was happier under his woodbine covered porch, in summer's evening, than he had been in his showy drawing-room* ' We arn now thriving and prosperous," said he, "shall we not return to the cityj" *Oh, no, no," was the unanimous reply. "Let us remain," suid the wife, "where we have found health and contentment." "Father,"said the youngest, "all we chil. dren hope you are not going to bo rich'again; for then," she added, "we little on s were shut up in the nursery, and did not see much of you or mother. Now we all live together, and sister who loves us, teaches us, and we learn to bo industrious and useful. We were none of us happy when we were rich, nnd did not work. So, father, please not be a rich man any more." Mrs. S'gourncy. READING AND STUDY One of the groat delects in self-training at the present day is, that there is much more rending than study. Both of these are indispensable in their proper relations, but neither of them can lako the place ol the other. Reading is necessary to furnish us with the facts of former ages, it gives us 'he materiuls of thought; it directs our minds, without much effort on our part, into nqw and delightful channels,and thus perfec'sour taste and forms our style; and it affords, at n cheap rate, a high mental luxury. But reading is not study. A man might rend a world of books, and good books too, and yet not possess the shadow, of a claim to scholarship. A trr 'ned mind, a thoroughly educated mind, is the product only of study. Every person should devote some portion of his time to tno acquisition of a definite branch of knowledge, and he should set about it with a full purpose to master the subject: and he would ilius superinduce those hab'ts of mrn'al discipline, and selfcontrol that facility* i:i consecutive inquiiica, which would prepare him to grasp, and tr i y-UUUMEl'MBL.-JLW .1 !Ui~ L'UJ J.'XJ.1 analyze, and comprehend other subjects.? This is a business that. every man must do for himself. No school or col'cge can perform it for him, no learned professor or . public lecturer can point out any ro>al road to tlvse attainments. 1 need not dest cnd to particulars. FKAYKIt. Pravcr moves the hand that holds the i heart. It is not absolutely necessary that tve should pray over a book of mathematics, or a volume ol history to understand it.r Vet ti the reader had the? opportunity of daily and hourly access to the author, would he not frequently avail hin>S"If of it and go to hiin for explanation? The Bible is the book of God, and it treats of subjects on which our feelings are strongest, our prejudices most violent, and our ignorance most profound. We have daily and hourly opportunity of consulting the divine author. Are we not manifestly without excuse, if' not availing ourselves ol this privilege, we fall into mistakes and adopt false interpretations? The lever that is destined to move the* world is the Gospel; hut prayer is the only way in which God's people can apply any power to that lever; and wo behove that when the universal Church shall make a combined effort in tins way, the world will bu moved and the kingdoms of the world become the kingdom of the Lord.? fly pray r we'bring down the might of ueaven to do-what the strength of the hu. man arm cannot cio; by this wo muke omnipotence our ally. The prayers of GoJ's people constitute one Ink in the chain of salvation, cornier, ted on one side with ihe power of God, and on the other with the conversion ol men. Break not that golden chain. Oil, if men did hut pray for each other as they# ought, what a blest fraternity the human family would be. It is intercession made in heaven, founded on the a'onointni offered on earth. that preserves this revolted world from merited destruction, that procures forbearance for the wicked, and sustains the principle of divine life in the soul of the righteous. ] feel sife in saying.that the intercessory # prayers of Christians avert more evil and procure more good than all o her human means together. It is always a great encouragement in prayer, when we can plead w.th Cod former mereies, when we remind hin? that the thing we ask him to do for us is only what he has done before. YVi'h what confidence may a church which God has otton. or even once revived, plead with him, ? Wilt thou not revive us attain?" The w ant of success in the prayer of the foolTsh virgins, proves that prayer may be rightly directed to the Lord?may be short ?may be unostentatious?may be sincere?may be fervent?may be lor that which is good and necessary?may be importunate, and yet fail of its object. Not every prayer is beard, though it have many qualitios of good prayer. One defect, if it relate to that which is issential, will spoil it. In the prayer of those virgins, there wosno faith and no love, and it was ill-timed.? The time was, when, if they had asked and knocked, tb' y would have received and gained entrance agreecbly to the promise, - ? * * i> i i .1 hut that* lime lusis not -always, uenoiu me contrast between the prayer of the foolish virgins and holy Stephen. Acts vii. 29. He is a dead man. who does not pray. Vhe Scriptures plainly teach the duty of specification in prayer, and expecially in private prayer. Think not that your pray, ers will be of much, if any avail, so long as they do not partake of this property.? lie who asks lor a great many things Jit a time, cannot be very desirous of getting any one of them. -It is in prayer, as in some other things, the way to accomplish much, i$ to do one thing nt a time. Take a single case and lay that before God. The woman of Canaan came to Christ on a single errrand, and urged one only suit. When Peter was in prison, and the Church desired his release, they prayed, not Tor all good things, but "for him" He, who in his secret devotions, prays only for his friends or his enemies in general,-is not sufficiency interested for any fine of them. Jt is thought by some, that Christians do not netd to be prayed for. Hut they need it hs inltch as any others, and we are more frequently reminded of the Ju:y of praying for hem tha'n any other class of persons. Our consistency us Christians, and our progress in religion, depend very much on our prayers for one another. Perhaps the low state of religion among professing Christians is more owing to a neglect of this duty than any thing else. When Paul prayed for the Ephesians, it is remarkable that he prayed for but One thing, and that one in order to others. Eph. i. 17. The truth is, we do not want but one th ng. Thy want, O man, is of the soul, and thy soul has but one riant? ' One thing is needful.. W ould to G"d thy soul had hut one desire, so as to say with David?"One thing have I des red of the Lord; that will I seek after.'' i\cwtns. Lord Ersklve.?The following note is said to h ive been fontid among the papers o! the late Lord Erskino; and when we take into view the character, standing and coun try of its distinguished author, we conceive it to be the most valuable, and one of the proudest compliments ever paid to the "Father of our country:" "To General Washington, S.'r?I have taken the liberty to introduce your august and immortal name, in a short sentence, which is lo be found in the book I send to you. 1 have a large acquaintance among the most valuable and exulted classes of men, but you are the only human being, for whom I ever felt an awful reverence* I [ -sincerely pray to God to grant a long and ' . serene evening, to a life so gloriously devo.. ' ted to the universal happiness of the 0 world. T. ERSKINE. London, March 15; lT'dd." $ m?: v 1 " ppjjt uivatimBMweWMS?aggaBMg The late Mr. Hirdcastle, orvone occasion, being charged rather uncouTffeously, an well as unjustly, with finesse, (artifice.) he replied, "On entering the Missionary Society, I, in the sfreng h of the Lord, made this resolution?never to be offended; and I have, hy the-graeeof God,endeavored to maintain if. -1 shall, therefore, take no notice of the remarks just made, but proceed to the business before us." "Let it be our care fo abide sledfastly by the communion to which we belong, while we presume not to condemn others, but liw in amity and kindness with those 4by whom we dwell securely.' Their respect nnd good opinion we certainly shall not deserve, und are not likely to obtain, by denying or dissembling the principles by which we ought to be distinguished.". An "Affair of Honor" Vetoed.?A . . ri couple ol gennemen, oeionging 10 oavanMali, wlio wanted to settle a personal difference, repaired a few days since, with their friends, to Cockspur Island, the property ol the United States, for the purpose of taking a shot at each-other. The manager of* the island interlerred and prevented it, inasmuch as the general orders ore that "no shooting is to be done on the island," not even that of birds, and much less that ol men. The Emperor Alexander duriug the occupation of Paris, was present at on anniversary of one of the Hospital. Plates were handed for contribution, and .ijiey were borne by some of the patrons' wives and daugbers. The plate was held 10 the , Emperor by an extremely pretty girl.? As he gave his Louis d'ors he whispered. "Mademoiselle, this is lor your bright eyes.'* The girl curts ed* uhd presented the plate again. "What," said the Emperor, "more?-" "Yes sir," said she" I now want something for the poor" A HINT TO THE GIRLS. ' We have already considered it an unerring1 sign of inmate yuJgarity when we see ladies take particular pains tp impress us with an' idea of their ignorance of all dnncstic matters, save sewing lace or weaving a net to encase their .empty hands. Ladies, bjsome curious, kind of hocus pocus, have go: iito their heads that the bnst way to catch a hustand is to show htm how profoundly capable they are of doing nothing for his comfort. JFrightaning a piano into fits, or murdering the king's French may be a good bait for certain kinds of fish, but they inusf be of that very small kind usually found in very shallow waters.
