Young aiun- - -Death- -The Three Messengers. ' From the Sunny South One evening, Bays the allegory, a young man was sitting in His' little cottage,- talking’ with hia wife as to their future.

He' was ' blestf. with a good mind, Arid full ot 1 en ergy and industry t Sitting in ,ltis lap, was his littlq^pn, who ,had apt' numbered', hi? first .twelve months. The young mother was bjjsywith hotyiceble. , 't JVuit'tiidn a : )knouk waa heard at the door, and a cordial and free invitation given to come in. A neighbor, thought-the young con pie. But rauoli to tlifir alarm in walkod Doatjli. his eyes h|idri th'e yoqrij^^dnj He 8aid, in an author lint IvcSnan nor: Young man, 1 liave coino for you, and shall make you a citizen of my silent kingdom.” “Have me'uoyr oxolainiod the young man. ‘'You have^iiatak- en tho hoiiae'l you certainly mtiat have come for my old and rich neighbor, whdfn you have permit ted to journey ou life's bourse over his threescore miles and teu.

J Said the.yoimg man, iu the ter ror of dispairi “Let me reason with yntil Let mo plead rfi’y easel Beur my peti tion fora longer lile!" Death said I Speak on, and let me hear your case. 1 do sometimes relent, tor a season, at least." Said the young man f •‘In the first place. I think you have come to soon for me. °1 have just started life, and thore you see my young wife, and liero iu my lap our little babe Would you make her a widow so soon, and niy child fatherless ? Who will take care of them if you take mo away ? Besides, Ueie is my little home X have just bought; my pros- peots in life are lair and iuvitiug; wonld you blight all in a moment? I am young, ns you see, stroug aud healthy, aud 1 thought I had a good many years yet ahead of me, are my hopes to be thus soon blasted? Lettue live to mature my plans, and see my boy grow up to man's estate, so that lie will he ablo to tako oare of his mother; and the last,•'but not least reason I have is this; 1 have not made that preparation I should have made liir so important a journey as you would send me on. I have neglected my soul's great interest, in looking at, and thinking of my temporal, 1 am not prepared foi you, O Death! Neither to meet niv Creator.” Death arose from His seat, mid said; “Young man, you have stated your case mid oondition fairly and with fpiod reasons; I will leave this time without you; but mark me well, I will return at some fu ture day, hut will hear no reasons —you must then go. But belore I come again,.I will send you three messengers, each will tell you I am oomiug—take care that you heed them I “I will! X will!” exclaimed the young man, “and thank you for your kindness in now going, and your generous consideration in sending me notice. v Time rolled on.
