4. from the New York Observer. THE BLESSED MISTAKE. The following narrative, recently reported o the Board of the Cry Tract Society, very pleasingly illustrates the Divine promise?4,I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known." A late miss'onaryof this Society, while passing through the sircet, was accosted by n stranger as an olJ acquaintance, and requested to call and see the family of which the stranger was a member, and the name and residence of which were mentioned.? Although lie had no recollection of having seen the individual be/ore, he did not name that circumstance, and as the place and lamily were resectable, he obeyed the invitation the next day. He was politely re coived by the lady of a navai cap:ain, bul instantly discovered that some error had ? I I. in, I ha I been made; yet as it occcurrou iu mm probably the hand of God was in this matter, he ii' Uher offered nor requested any ex< piuuution, but entered into conversattor with the lady on the importance of religion, address ng her in a very respectful yet very so'emn and impressive manner.? Ue then, with her approbation, parted About this time the person who had invito him returned home, and it was found thu the invitation hud been given in consequence of the missionary having had been mistaker tor another person who was an old acquain tance ofihe family. The whole affair, the conduct of the strange and still unknowr Visiter, the importance of his subject, anc the solemnity of ti?e prayer, all combined ic awaken the attention of the lady to a sens* of religious obligation. G.viug heed to tilt precepts of God she become wise to salva. tion; and when the lo\c of God was shet abroad in her heart, she uni'ed in the bond.' ofholy fellowship with his people. nf,I# IIIKKSIKI lAtiii'n UUUItlilUC rtJIVt ??

At the close o the service she named to her husband the whole of the circumstances, and the imprcsvou made on hi* mind was such that he became concerned to be himself a Cnristian. He has since experienced the peace of God the* passcth all understanding, an as a fellow member now unites with his wife in commemorating the love of Christ at the ' sacramental board. Doctrinal Knowledge?The duties ol Christianity arise out o.' hadoclrincs. There, fore, properly to understand and appreciate the former, it ir absolute y necessary thai the christian have a clear and distinci acquaintance with the latter. For exam, pie the duty to repent can never be suitably felt and thorou?.ily performed, without a correct hnowledge of ftuman depravity and ~ > - * n . m. ot actual irangress;ons arising worn it. i ne duty to worship Curist never can be properly performed, without an acquaintance with his character?ms divinity, as well as his humanity. We ate requireJ to believe on him in order to salvation : but what shall we believe on hun as finite or infini e?as creature or creator ??What has he done for cur salvation ? Shall we regard him merely as a teacher sent from God, and as a viartyr to the truth ; or shall wo trust in hun as our substitute, standing in our tplace, meeting the demands of God's law against us? We must not only understand, who is, but what he has done. Again?wo are exhorted to "g~ow in uruce"?to M follow holiness." But how d shall we progress in holiness ? Merely by reading and hearing the truth, and by our own exertions ? Or shall we look and pray for the operations of ihe Holy Spirit ? We might multiply examples, but these are suffi ci-jnt to show the importance of doctrinal knowledge. If what we tuve said is true, our piety wiii be as defective or as supeificial as our acquaintance with the doctrines of the Gospel. This may account for the superficial character of the piety of the present day. But few of the members of our churches have any thing like a clear discriminating knowledge even of the most important doctrmes of the Scriptures. Hence, too, the troubles in our church. Bp form in the Church.?Ail cndcav. ours of reformation in a Cnurch are 01 s ;raOi> defective when they come short of this ; unely, ;he repentance and conversion > mat dwell under the shadow of it. *V 4 i msetii tlmt the eve. of the blind opened, the ears of the deaf shall i .siopped, t:ie lame shall leap, thedunib snail sing, tho parched ground shall be a pool, the thirsty land springs of water,'(Isa. xxxv. 5?7. The wolf, ihe leopard, the lion, the bear the uss, the cockatrice, shall be so tamed from the fireceness and malignity of their natures, that, 'tl.;y shall not hurt nor destroy in all the holy mountain,' but * a li.tle child shall lead them all.' (Isa. xi. G, 9.) It is a great huppiness and advantage to i ve under the shade of a godly Government. Many men have reason to bless God all their days, that they were, in their childhood, trained up in such a school where pie'y was taught them as well as ! arning ; that they lived in such a family, where the master of it was of Joshua's mind, * I and my house will serve the Lord,' (Josh, xxiv 15 ) Salvation often comes to a whole house, when the governor thereof is converted. (Luke xix 9 ; Acts xiv. 33, 34. 1 shall never look upon a Church as reformed to purpose, till I find reformaion work conversion : till p.ety and charity, i justice- and humility, gentleness, goodness, kindness, meekness, singleness of heart, and zeal for godliness, mutual edification, and the hie and power of religion are more conspicuous than before. When the very headstone w s brought forth, and the last work in the building of the temple was finished, yet the people must then cry ' Grace, grnce it' (Zee!?, iv. 7,) intimating that reformation is never indeed consummate t II the blessing cf God make it effectual unto those uses, for which it was by liirn np. ' pointed. Cnurch reformation should be like j St. Paul's epistles, which always close in dui tics of obedience.?Bishop Reynolds. Forgiveness of injuries?It is wei known that the Koran of Mahomet con'uin: many passages copied from the sacred wri tings. Among others, the Arabian prophe lias given a place to those precepts of ou adorable Redeemer, which recommend for. giveness of injuries, and overcoming cvi with good. One day the Caliph Hassan son of Mali, being at dinner, a slave unfor : tunatciy let fall a dish of meat reeking hcl ; which scalded him severely. The slave fel ; on his knees, exclaiming, in the languagi | of the Koran." Paradise is for those who re I strain their anger." " 1 am not angn j with thee."replied the Caliph. 44 And lo .! ihose who forgive offences ngainst them,3 11 w /% i ? (j continued tin slave. i torgive mee mi c, ] responded the Caliph, " 13nt above all fo ihose who return good for evil." added th slave. "I set thee at liberty," rejoined th< \ Caliph, and I give thee ten dinars." Wi not this Mahometan rise up in judgement j and condemn many who call themselve j the followers of lite merciful Jesus, but liv under the power of a merciless and unfor j giving temper ? SCENE IN A CII1STIAN FAMILY. * I was about to enter into a dwelling.plac j which had been consecrated to tlse Mos High God. I know that from the family al * ter beneath this roof, sweeter tiian the pet fumed breath of morning, arose the early in cense of grateful hearts, to Israel's sleepios j watchman, and more precious than the bal i my air of evening went forth the might '1 orison. But he whose voice had offered u 1 the d volions of the household, was fa ' | away, where, though lie doub:les often pray [ j ed for those he loved, ho might not will '! them blend his supplications. The door was ajar, and I gently enterec ; for I heard in a soft voice the tone of prayer |! One step further and my eye rested on th P group wiihin, and oh, it was a lovely sigh I saw ! Jn the centre of the room a tab! was laid, upon which was spread the ye untasted morning repast : and on whicl also, lay the precious book which contains the bread of life. On one sido of the room knelt the mother. The bloom of youth hai not yet departed from her chock, arid he brow was fair and placid ; huh fairer thai all, there rested on her countenance th 1.1?otrai inn Tli?

Next her moth t er by a low stool, knelt a dark eyed girl o t two years, her hands were still, but the res tless tossing of her eye, and moving of he ' head, showed that nothing but solemnity c L prayer res'rained her in silence. A littli I further fiom the mother were a curly-huire< girl, and a manly boy ; their heads rested 01 their hands, and no motion or sound escnp i rd thorn, save the soft breathing of thei breath. A servant girl with a babe in liei arms, completed the eioup, and even tbi: liltie one seemed charmed into stillness bj the music of his mother's voice. I lis'enod to the words of the mother.? She ofTered thanks for mercies past, an< implored future blessings. She invoked al mighty assistance, that a mothers dutie might be performed, and children dwell to gether in unity : that all beneath that roc , might live alone to God. She paused, and then besought the bless ing of God upon the absent husband an< , i father; the tones of her voice wore tremul j ous as she said, " We know not his condi . j tion"?but again she spoke in the fullness o j trus?, " We commend him into thy hands.' , She remembered the fatherless, and be j sought that Jehovah's will be done on earth j! and his holy name be glorified forever. : As the li;tle ones arose from their knees , : they ca3t upon thoir mother looks of confidenci .^and affection, for they could feel that J<* .

Christian Watchman Private Prayer.?Thou, whtn thoi ; prayes?, enter into thy chamber and shu the door.?And the reason is plain. He who wojIc! pray, must first retire ; the spiri of the world and the spirit of prayer art contrary the one from tho other, and cxper ience will teach any one that lie cannot wel pi ay in a crowd. Business, or pleasure, 01 even common conversation, if it be aboui the things of this world, and continue foi any long time, will strangely indispose the mind for devotion : and the soul, before she can take her flight to heaven, must plume and balance her wings by holy meditat on ; she must rally her scattered and dissipated thoughts, and fix them on the business she I is ??',lg about; she must consider the nature I ot God, to whom she is to pray ; of herself, j who is to pray to nim ; and of those things .. _ __ i , ; mr which is ij pray ; sne musi Know I t!ie sins she has been guilty of to confess them ; and the graces she s'tands in need of, to petition for th?m.

J Profession not Practice.?Some men I j talk like angels and pray with great fervor, 5 and meditate with deep recesses, and speak - i to God with loving affections, and words of II union, and adhere to him in silent devotion, r j and when they go abroad are as passionate - as ever, peevish as a frighted fly, vexing i themselves with their own reflections ; they i | are cruel in their bargains, unmerciful to | their tenants, and proud as a barbarian j prince ; they arc, for all their fine words, ll impatient of reproof, scornful to their neigh. 5 bors, lovers of money, supreme, in their . i own thoughts, and submit to none : all their '/ j spiritual life they talk of, is nothing but r' spiritual fancy and illusion : they are still un" dor the power of their passions, and their i ' sin rules them imperiously, and carries them j r away infallibly.?Bishop Jeremy Taybr. From the Jjurnal of Commerce. ! B -| ( THE MEMORY OF THE DEPARTED, t,! About ihree years since, while residing s i in the village of N , I was first introf; duced to Miss L. She was the orphan . daughter of the late General L. (a distio^ guished officer in the U. S. Army,) and the only child of her widowed mother. When I first saw her clad in the e weeds she wore for ber recently deceased it father, I was particularly struck with her I- personal loveliness and beauty. Tne charm of "rosy cheek" and ruby lips were dis. tinctly mnrked upon her lovely face?while s ber full bright eye bespoke unusual iotoliL I- genco of mind and omiableness of heart? y and her dark hair, parted plainly upon her i p beautful forehead, gave a soft finish to the r striking contour of her features. Mrs. L. and her daughter had come to h make N their permanent wiiter residence, and more mature acquaintance 1, discovered that Miss L. was not dependent solely on her personal charms to recome mend her admiration. She was indeed t beautiful?but more than this, she possessed e a highly gifted mind, which had been it carefully cultivated. No pains nor expense h had been spared in her education, and her d attainments wero already quite superiori, For though at this time but 18 yean of d age, she was familiar with several an. r guages, her reading was extensive, tnd a she was skilled in many of the elegantace complishmcnts. Indeed one needed bit a s short acquaintance with her to be assired it that for solidity of character, intelligence ;, of mind, and loveliness of temper, as well - as elegance of manners, Miss L. was ies>f lined to shine in every circlo which enjoyed - her presence. It was not strange then that r she was the pride of that widowed one, who if i clung to her, as her earthly all. Cften s j have I looked upon that mother JI and daughter, so happy in their rrutual i affections?the former so blessed in the - child, who seemed to realize her .ondest r expectations, and the daughter so ievoted r so confiding; and have said to myself, sure- j s ly there is domestic bliss, even for ths widow J and the orphan ! Tujrt vonre nnccArl r\n 1.. WftS the ' more beloved as she was more known, but ^ best esteemed by those who knew her best. * For while she mingled occasionally in the 8 social circles of N., and was universally * admired and caressed, the greatest fart of ^ her time was devoted to the happiiess of her mother, and to the continued in^rove^ men of her own mind. My distance from J her was such, that 1 could not often s?e her; * but I al ways met her on ' the sacred solemn * day," in the sanctuary; and he* meek ? and solemn aspect, her fixed and careful attention, to the instructions ofdiviie truth * caused me to hope, that with all her jetlings ?; she was seeking that wisdom whiclicometh ' from above. The sequel of her history '?| encourages the belief that I was nd mistaBI taken. She was still sometimes seen in " the "gny and festive hall," and those scenes s of amusement to which her statior in life andher early associates had led her,but now there was on expression in her coun? tenance, which said hef heart was noj there. About a year since, I met her it com. nmiT n-itk a four a(* n/.n.iOintnnWC nf M UII u w \ji uut avvjuuii?iu*iwvw| ? j the home of a friend. She was not well. I A cold had occasioned an unpleasant ? cough, which still affected her.* It was t not however regarded as a serious indispo? sition, and excited little apprehension, 6ave . in an anxious mot er's heart. I saw her ; | in the spring. She was better, but not well. r The rose had faded upon her cheek, and ' l her face was thin and delicate. But it was j believed by her friends that the warm weather would restore her. The summer , was passed in travelling and visiting her ( friends, and in September she returned to i N. I soon called to sec her. She was I "better, much better, except that a little cold ' had renewed her cough." But she was . now sadly changed. I noticed the anxious { expression of h? r mothers face, as she look- ( ; ed upon her lovely child { and as I heard ] the gentle soothing words, "Mother, you are too anxious for me, I am mucli better," { my heart sunk within me with dread fore- ' bodings. ] feared that permanent disease i had fasfrnnd iin??n hnr. The New Year's day had come. It was I, a day of gladsome joy?friends were greet- j i ing friends?parents and children were j i gathered round the fireside hearth to | j mingle their congratulations?and the # ( village of N. was rejoicing in the festivities t of the season. But there was an upper . chamber in that villigo, which presented a j solemn scene. There was a lovely, beautiful girl, whom scarcely twenty sum- r mers had ripened into womanhood, who c had grown up amid the facinatior.s of the ? world, the object of admiration and love? *' "the only child of her mother and she a widow"-?Sho had now come up and laid t her down upon the bed of death. There / was the agonized, heart stricken parent, b looking upon the wasting away of all she I lo*vvl "pop. earth. TVre ware kind and - n loving friends, and there was one to whom this dear young girl had given her early j love?to whom she was affianced ! Oh how they all strive to keep strong her hold i on life ! And there were Christian friends ! who "gathered round her bed, and bent J their knees in fervent supplication to'ho ] throne of mercy" that the dear loved one < might live. But she for whom they wept ] and prayed was calm?composed. She did not long for life. Sue could leave the mother whom she loved as her own soul? him to whom her heart was ph'dgpd, and all those doting friends. She looked on all unmoved, and only desired of them, and prayed that they might be reconciled to. God's holy will. A few more days, and the last morning of her briefexistence dawned?(it was ihe 2lst insi). 44 My dear mo her," said she, * rr* .. altera season ot great sun ring," you musi give me up, I cannot live. Do, d ar mother give me up to God." The agonised mother replied, 44 I do try, my dear, I will." 44 Oh, how happy slid she, ui now feel, for I would rather depart and be with Cnrist? I want to be with the Saeior." The shadows of evening had scarce begun to gather, when she said to a fri'-nd who sit beside her," A cold wind blows over me, and I feel strangely?the room is dark, bring more light." A light was brought, * and her friend observed (to her great sur? prise, for it was not supposed that her end was near) that tho seal of death was on lu*r! She said,44 My dear A. I believe you are dying, shall I call your mother ?" 44 -Yes," j said, she, 44 and call A.?and call tbe children." To her they came. She could not speak, but kissed them all. Then placed her attenuated arm around her mother's neck?her hand iu his to whom it nud been pledged. The An el of tho Covenant, Was come?and faithful to his promise stood, Prepared to walk with her thro' death's dark valo. And now her eyes grew bright, and brighter still, Then closod without a cloud, They set, as sets the morning star? That croes not down behind the darken'd west, Nor hides obscured among the tempests of tho j sky, But melts away into the light of hoaven! Dear youth,who may re td this sketch believe \ me it it is no picture of the fancy, no tale I of the imagination. You have read highly colored descriptions on the page of romance, and your sensibilities have been was ted in ideal sorrows. But here is a scene, the realities of which have been recently enacted?here are hearts now bleeding un. der this bereavement, and the wounds thus made, the consolations of the gospel are alone adequate to heal. * And what, think yon, can reconcile one to such a sceno to such a death ? What is there that can reconcile one in the spring time of life, surtounded by the fascinations of the world, endowed with every gift and grace to charm and captivate?the onjectof admiration and esteem?fnll of new-born hopes of life and happiness with a chosen one,?what is there to reconcile such a one to death ? How ] could she leave such a home, such fronds, such prospects, to go alone through the dark valley to the eternal world ? It io the cross ; ?the cross, that giveth power. Oh how s strong a proof is such a scene to the reality j of tho Christian hope ! that can rejoice tho heart in every final separation?enable it to break every tie, and wings its way triumphantly to the untried scenes of another world ! j Reader,hast thou such a hope? youth, beauty, talent, learning, the best of friends, the fondest love, aro all vain to keep thee when God calls. He may soon summon thee. If not this month, perhaps the next--~-perhaps before another year-?Whither then will thy spirit fly ! M. S. S. January i9th. a child's driam. A curious little book lately published in Boston, called "The History of tho Striped Pig." gives the following humorous account of the ! effect w^ught upon a rum-selling professor, by a dream of h.'s son. "Good Brother M?, after a hard day's ' work in retailing liquor, washes his face and hand*, nuts on his sanctified manner and his go-to-meeting coat, and proceeds to the vestry of his church to exhort his brethren to good works and godly lives, and to make long pray, ers! We remember the conversion of a pious deacon of this spiritual description from his delusions. It happened in this w se : , "Papa," said one of his boys to the deacon, "I had a funny dream last night!" , " Well, Tommy, what was your funny j dream?" I "Why, I dreamed that the devil came into s your store"? "The devil!" 1 " Yes, pa, the devil, and that he found you | uiuwiiig a gia?a ui iiijuui iui puui ixi[ James, who has fits, and who broke his little baby's arm the other day, because she cried when he came home drunk. And I thought the devil came up to the counter, and laid the end of his long tail down on a chair, and leaned over towards the barrel of gin where you were stooping to draw it out, and asked if you J want a deacon. And I thought you didn't , look up, but said you was, and then he grinned, and shook his tail like a cat that had a , mouse, and says he to me, "Thai ere's the dea- . :on for me\" and laughing so loud that I put my fingers m my ears and woke up " This dream was more than the father could stand; but it put an end to his delusion, and to his trado in ardent spirits.
