He had not beaten his fellow-servants,
nor been eating and drinking with the
drunken ; but he was unprofitable'.—
He had not said in the language of
avowed enmity, “I will not have this
man to reien over me;” but he was
unprofitable. His crime was not pos
itive, but negative. It is not said that
ho had done harm, but that lie lmd
done no good. He had not used his
talent, but had allowed it to remain
idle. Ucnce it is said; “Cast ye the

beware of the guilt aud doom of such

soon to be succeeded by a long and
dark night Let ns dwell on the last
representation. How 8lrikiu*»ly does
itconvcy the idea of brevity: How
soon is the longest natural day gone4
You look with admiration on the ris
ing sun* a tew short hours and it has
attained its meridian splendor, It bc-
6 ins to decline. It sinks beneath the
orizon. The night is come. So it is
with the day of human life. “We
spend onr years as a tale that is told.”
This is true in relation to those who
attain the greatest number of years
allotted to mortals; but still more ap
plicable to the multitude to whom is
assigned a (lay resembling those of
the natural world during the season
of winter—few are their hours and
soon gone. The work of life should be
quickly begun, for life is short
There is another thought suggested
by the comparison of life to a day—it
is that oi unity. There is one period
of probation, aud no more, allotted to
every human beiug. Let it be short
or long—let it be improved or neg
lected—once gone, it will never return.
There is no other such day. If the
mau neglect the fair scasou, if he die
useless aud unsaved, he will never
have the opportunity of retrieving
himself—of effacing the mischievous
consequences of his inexcusablo neg
ligence.
Moreover, if life be a day—one
day—no one of you my hearers can
have it now all before him. Each is
living in it and upon it. With some,
indeed, it may still be fair morniug ;
but with others noon ; and in the case
of others llio shadows of a long eve
ning begin to be, stretched out.—
‘Life,” says the late Johh Foster, “is
expenditure : we have it, but as con
tinually wasting it.” Suppose a man
confined iu some fortress, under tbe
doom to stay there till his death ; aud
suppose there is there for his use n
dark reservoir of water, to which it is
certain none can ever be added. He
knows, suppose, that the quautity is
not very great; lie cannot penetrate to
ascertain how much, but it may be
day ; but ray having had it, and my
having it tonlay, is tne very cause that
I shall not have it on some day that is
approaching. And at the same time
I am compelled to this fatal expendi
ture !” So of our mortal transient
And yet men are very indis
posed to admit the plain truth, that
life is a thing which they are in no
other way possessing than as neces
sarily consuming ; and that even iu
this imperfect sense of possession, it
becomes every day less a possession!”
Such, then, is the time allotted for the
pciforniaoco of the great work re
tired of man—such is the day of life:
iort at longest Already some of it
is gone; and bat one such period is
assigned to man.
Connected with the close of such a
period, there is mueh which the most
thoughtless feel to bo affecting ami
solemn. The decline of the natural
day diflhtcs over the mind a feeling of
melancholy which, were there no oth
er and far higher considerations sug-
S ested by the assurance, would be suf-
cient to induce us highly to pzize the
declaration of God’s word respecting
heavcu: «“There shall be no night
there.” But far more serious aud
solemn are the feelings, which should
be .produced by the setting sun of hn*
man life—the e'.ose of that day in
which, or not.at all, salvation must be
secured, and good done to those around.
Not to dwell on the thought that
“the day of graoo” may ho brought to
a termination by other means than by
the death ot the body ; for instance,
by insanity occurring in ^ch a form
and to sucu an extent, as to preclude
the possibility of attention being giren
at all to the concerns of eternity; let
us far a moment think of the more or-
dinaiy method employed by divine
Providence for closing the scene of
probation. “The living know that they
shall die,” There is no need to ex
haust the powers ol body or of miud
in laborious argument on this topic ;
the midnight oil needs not to be con
sumed ; no elaborate demonstration is
requisite. The distract statements of
God's word; the experience of past
generations, viewed iu connection
with their entire disappearance from
the globe on which we dwell ; the in
dications of deascasc and decay often
experienced by the living within them
selves ; all render it a certain thing
that “it is appointed unto men oacc to
die.”
The event, however, which i« bo cer
tain, is, as to its details in individual
cases, more uncertain than any other

which, to you and your fellow-chris
fians only, it may be ssid, the night is
far spent, the day is at hand. “Now
is your salvation neater than when
you believed.” “Wherefore gird up
the loins of your mind; be sober, and
hope to the end for the graco that is
to bo brought unto you at the revela
tion of Jesus Christ.” “Seeing you
look for such things, be diligent, that
you may be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless.” It may
be not proper to suppose that some
hearer of my words may feel a painful
apprehension that, to him, such ap
peals as those already made, do not
pertain;-since, although not devoid of
serious thoughts or powerful convic
tions, he lias not decidedly yielded to
God the life and talents which he po-
scsses. He thinks and feels about di
vine things, but is still halting between
two opinions. I would affectionately
remind such a one that the great ques
tion respecting his soul's salvation can
be only in appearance undecided.—
There is no such thing as neutrality
in matters of religion. He who had
not entered the oity of refage under
the law, was liable to die by Hie hand
of the avenger of blood, although he
might be on the road thither; there
was no safety but within the walls.—
So is there no salvation for any soul
that has not actually come to Christ,
complied with his terms, accepted his
gracious overtures. How long, dear
hearer, will you delay to do this? I an:
no advocate for precipitancy in mat
ters of religion; but I believe that in
regard to the first and decisive act,
that of faith in Christ, the duty is im
mediate. God’s commands contain
not one word adapted to sanction de
lay. The urgency of the caso Is such
as. to a right-minded person, renders
delay iptolcrable. Deliberation here
can he but the cloak of a mischievous
and perhaps fatal, procrastination.—
Hasten to intrust to the gracious Sa
vior the keepiug of your undying souL
Then let it not be long before you pro
claim yourself on the Lord's side; and
yield to bis cause, by active devoted
ness, all your time, your talent*, tour
energies, your influence. Be able to
adopt tne noble confession of the
anoetlo Haul: “Whose I am, and
whom I serve.” Remember that the
night cometh, in which no man can
work. The grare cannot praise God,
death cannot celebrate him; they that
go down into the pit cannot hope
for hi* trnth. Tho living, he
shall praise God. What we intend
ever to do for God most be done now.
Awake, awoke, then: put on strength.

ness, place this melancholy fact be
yond a doabt Yon are not in the
road to heaven, and there ts bnt one
other world in which the path of life
terminates. How to it witn yon? Are
yon afflicted and tormented day and
night with the tense of your present
son condition, and approaching des
truction? Or to it to that yon can
really take year ease, eat, drink, and
be merry? Canyon trifle, and laugh,
and sport, and enjoy the world, not
withstanding an yon know to be ap
proaching? If yon were hopelessly,
and by the mere force of destiny,
without any fault of your own, con
signed to perdition, I could not blame
yon for this. It might, perhaps, be
your wisest course to select the pleas
ures most congenial with your toads
and appetites, and in their peisuit
joyously to consume the few hasty
years which intervene between the
present moment and everlasting woe.
But this is not the case. The Bible
teaches you that yob may be saved,
Christ is still set forth a Fnnce and a
Savior, that whosoever believeth in
him may not perish, but have ever
lasting life. He is exalted to give
repentance and remission of sins.—
Justified through faith in his right
eousness; punned from sin by his
blood; sanctified by his Spiritr—you,
even yon, whatever tbe number, the
kind, the aggravation of your sins, and
however long yon may have persisted
in their continuance,—yon, dear hear
er, may he saved.
You know what you need in order
to have real and endless happiness ;
you know, also, where and how it may
be secured. Why delay for an hour
in making it your own ? “Give glory
to the Lord your God, before he cause
darkness, and before your feet stnmblc
upon the dark mountains, and, while
ye look for light, ho torn it into the
shadow of death, and make it gross
darkness.” “Yet a little while is the
light with you. Walk while ye have
the light, lest darkness come upon
you.” “Whatsoever thy hand flmfctli
to do, do it with thy might; for there
is no work, nor device,aor knowledge,
nor wisdom, in tho grave, whither
thou goes*.. Let not the criminal
apathy which may havo been inani-
fested by professors ef religion in re-

uce you to neglect it anv longer your

recollection of those who are no more
on earth—tho pious and the sinners—
whom yon have known, and seen enter

you have followed to the hous$ ap
pointed for all liviug; let tho voice of
years, the worth of thesoul, the claims
ot eternity, the commands of God, tho
life and death ofChriat—all exert their
appropriate influence in leading you
to work while it is called to-dny. And
may the ever-blessed and Holy Spirit,
tho Author of all good, direct your
heart into the love of God, aud iulo

Father Blake’s Collection.
Father Blake was more familiary
known by tho name of Father Phil.—
By either title, or in whatever capaci
ty, tho worthy father had great influ
ence over bis parish, and tuero was a
free-and-easy way with him, even iu
doiug the most solemn duties, which
agreed wonderfully with the devil-
may-care spirit oi Paddy. Stiff and
starclied formality in any way is re
pugnant to the very nature ol Irish
men. There are forms, it is true, and
many, in the Romish church, but they
are not cold forms, but attractive rath
er, to a sensitive people; besides, I
believe those very forms, when observ
ed tho least formally, are the most in
fluential on the Irish.
With all his intrinsic worth. Father
Phil was, at the same time, a strango
man in exterior manners; for, with an
abundauce of real piety, he had an
abruptness of delivery, and a strange
way of mixing up an occasional re
mark to his congregation in. the midst
ot the mass, which might well startle
a stranger; but this very want oi for
mality made him beloved by the peo
ple, and they would do ten times as
much for Father Phil as for the severe
Fattier Dominick.
On the Sunday in question Father
Phil intended delivering an address to
his flock from the altar,urging them to
the necessity of bestirring themselves
in the repairs of the chapel, which
was in a very dilapidated condition,
and at oue end let in the rain through
its worn-out thatch. A subscription
was necessary; and to raise this among
a very impoverished people was no
easy matter. The weather happened to
be unfavorable, which was most favor
able to Father Phil’s purpose, for the
rain dropped its argument* through the
roof upon the. kneeling people below,
in the most convincing manner; ana
as they endeavored to get out of the
wet, they pressed around the altar as
much as they could, for which they
were reproved very smartly by hw
reverence in the very midst of the
mass. These interruptions occurred
sometimes in the most serious places,
producing a ludicrous effect, of which
the worthy Father was quite uncon
scious, in bis great anxiety to make
the people repair the chapel.
A big woman was elbowing her
way toward the rails of tbe altar, and
Father Phil, costing a side-long glance
at her. sent her to the right-about,
while he interruped his appeal to Hea
ven to address her thus;
l Ag*u» Dd—Ton'd betther jump
over the rails of the altar, I think. Go
along onto* that, there’s plenty o’room
in the chapel below there—”
Then he would turn to the altar*
and proceed with the service, til!/
turning again to the congregation, be
perceived some fresh offender.
“Oral*, jrairt* /—Will you mind

ashamed of themselves when I howld
up to those to hooor who have con

o’ yonrsehres yon ought to be, to lave
His house in such s condition? and
doesn’t it raina’most every Sunday,
as if He wished to remind you of your
duty?—aren’t you wet to the skin
amost every Sunday? Ob, God U
good to yon! to pat yon in mind of
your duty, giving you such
cowlds that you are coughing and
sneerin’ every Sunday to that degree
that yon can’t hear the blessed mass
for a comfort and a benefit to you; aud
so yooll go on sneerin’ until you pot

from Heaven against you every Sun

your faces, and behind your backs
too, for don’t I see this minmt a

mill running down Micky Macavoy’s
back, between tho collar of his coat
and his shirt?”
Here a laugh ensued at the expense
of Micky Mackavoy, who certainly

imperfect roof.
“And is it laughiog yon arc, you
haythens?” said Father Phil, reprov
ing the merriment which he himself
had proposely created, that he might
reprove \L “Laughing is it you are,
at your backsliding* and insensibility
to the honor of God—laughing because
when you come here to he saved, you
are lost entirely with the wet; aud
how, 1 ask you, are my words of com
fort to enter yonr hearts when the rain
is pouring down your backs at the

turning your hearts while you arc un
der nun that might turn a mill—but
onco put a good roof ou tho house,
and I will inundate you with piety!—
Maybe it’s Faiher Dominick you
would like to have coming among you,
who would grind your hearts to pow-

low murmur of dissent ran through the
throng.) “Ha! ha Iso you wouldn’t like

mild and quiet poor fool of a patthor
has no tongue in his head! I say, your
mild, quiet, poor fool of pasthor, (tor I
