That on!'j u true holiness tchi^A vill bear / c trials that (rod appoints. Such seeming graces ns have never been fried, or will not bear trial, ought not to pass < f>r genuine. They will neither comfort j men now, nor fit them for heaven at last. 1. All is not gold that glitters. Great , numbers of persons in the protbssing world f *ire deceived and destroyed by trusting to ' apparent grace; they cannot deter- , * rtiine that they have true holiness uuless , some trial be made of it, and if a trial be , made which they cannot endure, the conclusion must be against them ; hence they ^ grope in uncertainty, and finally stumble where neither deliverance nor mitigation can , roach them, ?>uch was the miserable con- , dition, and such, probably, was the fate of the Laodicear.s mentioned in the text ;* they ( imagined themsehes rich, but were, in truth, poor and wretched ; their fancied gold had ( never been tried in the tire. Reader, pass not over this topic u ithout some serious reflection in rogarJ to your own spiritual state, j 2. The promises of salvation are made to siiMi hr?!i?ii?ss_ <etir*h n-lifrinn. ns udll endure ? ' 7 o * ~ ; trial: " Blessed is tho man that cndurcth temptation; tor when he is tried lie shall receive the crown of lite which Clod hath promised to them that love him.'' Not to him who sets out in the morning { .with resolution and gallantry, but to him who holds out till the evening of life, docs 1 the promise apply, " lie that eivlureth to the ! end shall be saved."' Hence, if any who | have sustained slight troubles shall afterwards faint and fail under severe trials, all ' their labors and their hopes will prove vain. 1 3. Every man's character must be scrutinized at the final judgment; and if those 1 who pretend to religion cannot endure the 1 trials to which they are now exposed, how 1 can they bear the investigation to which 1 they will then be subjected ? Surely, if we have not such holiness as will bear the sc. ( vcrcst tests to which it can be brought in : this life, we can hardly hope it will sustain 1 the ordeal of the last day. If we cannot I 1 bear these lighter trials : if a little prosperity,! or a light stroke of adversity discover so i1 much firisetiess, pride, and selfishness in 1 j the heart ; if we cannot resist temptation, j < but yield ourselves servants to sin ; if we |( ran neither keen nnr hearts with (IdiI in i duties, nor mourn for our wanderings from . him ; if a few scoffs from wicked tongues, j or trials of persecution from the hands of; i men cause us to taint in the way, and turn < back from following the Lord?what shall wc do when lie comes, " whose fan is in i his hand, and who will thoroughly purge his < floor," and who will "tryevery man's work," as by fire," of what sort it is ?" i 4. True holiness is willing to be tried, i T"1 True saints greatly desire to know their i condition, and choose to be searched and < proved ; but false religion strives to avoid the touchstone, and shrinks from scrutiny, i Saints wish to know the truth resnectinsr , themselves, whatever it may be, while those i who prefer that their supposed grace should j not bo tried, are secretly conscious of its j falseness and of their insincerity. , O proibesor, if thy heart be right, thou \ wilt wish to know the worst of thy si-If; and when thou hast made the deepest search, , thou wilt still fear thou hast not been severe | enough ; nothing will give thee more con- , tent than w hen thou feelest the word divi- , ding thy soul and spirit, thy joints and mar- ] row ; nothing so much comforts thee under! ( allliction as the discovery it makes of thy ' ( heart. Thou wilt seem to feci with what1 , affection those words fell from the prophet's lips: 44 Thou, O Lord, knowest me, thou hast seen tne, and tried my heart towards j thee." O what refreshing sweetness will j stream through thy soul, when thou canst | make the like appeal to God, and with like sincerity ! And surely, with no such wil lingncss to have your graces tried, you can j. have little evidence that they are genuine.? I' ' Flavd. ! Rev. 3; 17, 10. i COUNTERFEIT GRACES. If Satan can counterfeit those operations | tfif?

It is 11 abundantly evident that there is false humil- j, itv, as well as false comfort. Saul, though j a very wicked man, of a haughty spirit, and a great king, when brought, bv the convic- < tion of sin, to condemn himself before Da- j vid, one of his subjects, and one whom he t had long hated and treated as an enemy,! t Cries out, " Thou art more righteous than | r I; for thou hast rewarded me good, where-! us I have rewarded thee evil!" And at j j another time, " 1 have sinned?I have play, j t ed the fool, and have erred exceedingly." j, 1 Sam. 24: 16, 17, and 27: 21. And yet; fl Saul, at that time, seems to have had very I kl little of the divine influences, this being after j the Spirit of God had departed from him,1 ^ and an evil spirit had troubled him. If, then, j this proud monarch was brought to humble j e himself so low before a subject whom he hated, we may doubtless exhibit appearances ( of great conviction and humiliation before God, while we yet remain enemies to him. ^ There is often, in men who are terrified through the fear of hell, a great appearance , of being brought from a dependence on c their own righteousness, when they are not ' in all respects brought from such depend- * once. They have only exchanged one way jv of trusting in their own righteousness for ' another, which is loss obvious. Very often !* a great degree of discouragement, as to c some things upon which they were accust- J omed tc depend, is taken tor hurfiiliation, and denominated submission to God ; tho' c it is no real submission, but arises from s some secret compromise which is difficult ! to be discovered.?Edwards.? I A Mother's Prat/ers.?It is said that the t late Bishop Emory was destined by the f choice and determination of his father for !< the practice of law, but his mother had con- c sec rated him from infancy to God, as a s minister of the gospel: and never relin- f quished the idea, but continued her prayers t and pious instruction with this in view, till t the saw him sty ruing on the v. of /ion. t ' I VI!AT WJ2 MAY* EXPECT BEFORE THE LATTEH PAY GLOUY*. We may expect believers to be so full if missionary zeal as to count no labors 11 (bis field any self dfhial. We may expect devout mothers to train ip their little ones with the perpetual re"e re nee to the conversion of the world.? l'hey \yill lay their infants finger on Christ's ?reat command, and pointing to the dark nap of the earth say, My son, here isyour work? We may expect ministers of the gospel ;o urge upon all their hearers,, without ex- , :eption their personal privilege of being [not simply contributors, but) co-workers with God, in this blessed undertaking. We may expect to see Christ's ministers preparing themselves, not lor this city or that city, this field or that field but k.xirt ,rl?t. nmt nnt d.iriii" to fore IUI IIIC Wllllll. - , stal the indications of Providence by anj> engagements or alliance?, which would C . binder if they desired to go to the Pacific lies, or to Africa. W e may expert to see Christian com- i inanities more interested and excited by news Irom Christ's kingdom, than men of the world now are by wars and rumors t>f wars. We may expect to sec whole Churches roused by the mighty appeal of the word i>f God, rising as with one heart, and offering themselves joyfully to this work; those who are fit to be sent, to go, those who ought to remain, to yield their substance to the labor of lore. We may expect to see merchants and mechanics, and farmers, and men of learning and men of inherited wealth, count ing up their gains, not for themselves or their families, but for the work of the Lord. Wo may expect to see young men in colleges and schools ardently pursuing studies which may lit them to interpret the word of (iod to people of every nation. We may expert to see vessels loosing from our quays, freighted with the (Jospel, and manned by pious crews who shall carry to remote countries the savor of Christ's name.

We may expect men of talent and wealth in the bloom of life, going singly, und w ithout seeking patronage, to j ropagate the Gospel in foreign parts, just as wc now =ee the same things taking place in the selfish concerns of com:ney:e. We may expect to see our monthly concerts for prayer thronged with warm-hearted worshippers, panting for tidings from the harvest of unconverted nations, praymrr fur Christ's mmin^. and reioicinr? to " B ~ ? ""O' J o aether at the establishment of his kingJoin. We may expect the Bible to become more truly than ever, the book, the one hook of Christians; that it will be more studied than ever before, and more than all Dthcr writings; and that other works will be valued, in proportion as thev are nearer jt more remote with respect to the Scriplure^; in proportion as they explain or corroborate the word of God. We may expect, in consequence, that pious mechanics, jdain disciples, will so grow in Christian knowledge that when iheyjourney from place to place, they will i>e teachers of the Gospel. Thus the tent maker and his wife were to Paul "helpers in Jesus Christ." (Compare Actsxviii, 1, $, Horn, xvi, 3, 4.-? Lutheran Observer. a mother's wish The following conversation was related :o nie by an ear witness, as having occured a short time since between a mother in J grandmother. The sabject of it was i fine boy, a few months old: The mother brought her infant into the oom to show him to some of her friends ,vho were visiting her. She calls him her ittle missionary. The grandmother, who is particularly ittachcd to the child, began playing with iim, and says, "Before a great while? hough grandmama won't live to see it? his boy will make the senate camber ing." The mother replied, "It will be is chaplain, then." The old ladv again, hope you will be minister plenipotentiary 0 the court of St. James." The mother ook up the word?"A minister, I hope to 1 higher court*" The old lady continued; J hftno vnn will he nn pnrthlv minister or . ??r;vU ..... ... J _. >reaoher." "No," says the mother, "a ery heavenly minded one, I hope." The ;randinother, still playing with the infant, ays;?"Soon these little bands w ill be exended in making speeches for your counry."?"Yes," rejoined the mother, "and he first I hope, w ill be from Romans viii. 0." Time only can show whether the confilent anticipations of the grandmother, or he fond hopes of the mother will come rue; or whether both will be entombed vith the child in an early grave. I have me question to ask mothers, after reading he above. When you stand with your :hild at the judgement seat, which career vould you covet him not only as safest, mtnsmost honorable and dignified, the me drawn by the grandmother, or that vished for by the pious mother 1? A. TEXT AND COMMENT. " Reasons for not joining the Temperance Society." A minister in Virginia recently mblished a pamphlet with this title. Not cmg afterwards the neighbors of another pponent of these societies deemed it necesary, on a certain occasion, to remove him rom horse-back to a place of greater safety , 0 his neck, and upon looking after his chatles they found among them a copy of the 1 foresaid pari: pi ft.; tied to his saddle,? i To meet the calls that are made at our depositories every year for a handsome Annual, suitable in all respectsfura Christian present, we shall publish early in the ensuing season a beautiful volume, that will be adapted especially us a gift to the young, but which will be fitted also for the instruction of Sunday-school teachers, and all classes who take pleasure in religious reading.

The blue Ticket.?At the JuneSab. bath-school concert in Philadelphia, a dislingushed clergyman of Massachusetts, addressing unconverted teachers, stated that when lie first undertook the duties of a teacher in his youth, he was not pious ; but on one occasion, ns he was about to give a blue ticket to one of his ' ' ..If .1 pupils, he read this verse on it, tie mai being often reproved, hardencth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." lie felt that this was n description of his own character, and that he had reason to tear that such would be his punishment. He kept the ticket for his own use; he carried it with him to college ; the words never left iiis memmory, and he believes that they were one of the principal means of leading him to the Saviour.?Ibid.? The Deaf and Dumb.?The Asylum for the deaf and dumb at Hartford, is in a highly prosperous condition. The total number of pupils, who have enjoyed it$ benefits during the year ending on the 14th ultimo, was 1:19; of whom 18 were supported by their friends, 15 wholly or in T ? * - I- - IT L.. part by the .Legislature 01 <>iaine, 1/ uj that 0? New Hampshire, 18 by that ol Vermont, 40 by that of Massachusetts, 14 by that of Connecticut, 5 by that o! South Carolina and 0 by that of Georgia, while 3 were exclusively indebted to the funds of the Asylum for the means ol subsistence and the facilities of education. The present annual charge for each pupil is only S100, though the actual expense every year exceeds 130 dollars. The balance is contributed by the institution itself. Since the incorporation of the Hartford - t r .1 1 1 institution, incnumoeroi muw whu uuvu enjoyed its benefits, is 515?289 males and 22G females. The New Hampshire Patriot, states that the above were members of 457 families, of which 95 contained more than one deaf and dumb person?viz: 57 have contained 2 each, 19 have contained 3 each, 10 have contained 4 each, 6 have contained 5 each,2 have contained 6 each, and one 7 persons of this class?although in threw instances onlv was one of the pa ...

Ofthe pupils, 372 have been educated by the bounty of their respective States, and 139 by the assistance of their own relatives. Their ages on admission were as follows?under 15,213; between 15 and 25, 260; and 42 upwards of 25. Nearly 400 pupils have ceased to be connected with the Asylum, a large part of whom sustained unblemished characters in society?36 are married, 33 are communicants in different churches, several are employed as teachers, while many are successfully employed in various other occupations and pursuits.
