Every Christian has to how the night cometh to him ? say to his neighbor and to his'hrother, “know the Lord.” Many around ev ery believer ore living'in sin, and dy ing in it; and he is bound by the com mon principles of humanity, by a due concern for tbe welfare of immortal souls; by the conduct of Christ our il lustrious example; by the direct pre cepts he bos given: by the encourag ing promises contained in God’* book; by a concern for the slonr of him who made us, and gave ms Son to redeem us; by every consideration which can have place here—to labor while life re mains in any one of those unconverted men, and in himself to bring them un to him who is “mighty to save.” Such is the appointed and appropri ate work of lire. A long protracted period, extending through many ages might seem little enough for its accom plishment. But how affecting the thought that all the representations of the life of man contained in the sacred page arc of a kind adapted to impress our minds rather witu tbe ideas of transient continuance—rapid flight- Upon the Statements which have been thus briefly made I beg leave to offer a few words of appeal to differ ent classes into the hearing of tome of whom it itpomiblomy words mav fall. h. he said, “Wist ye not t dc about my Father's bu- What consummate prudence! matchless eloquence, which elicit from officers oi publicjus- ic acknowledgment, “Never man My hearer l ore. yon a real, on avowed believer in the Son of God V Remember that the night cometh, in which no man can work.

Seriously re- cct upon, dread, aud shun the doom of the unprofitable servant He had been simply slothful, and his Lord calls him wicked. lie is not charged with what Christians com monly account inconsistent or unholy conduct; but he was unprofitable.— 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 unprofitable sezvant into outer" dark ness ; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Christian hearer, beware of the guilt aud doom of such a man! Bat on the other hand it is said. “They that be wfae shall shine as the brightness of th'c flrmautnt; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars tor ever aud ever.’’ Would you achieve this great work? Then must you walk, and that quickly, iu all wis dom to them that are without; re deeming the time, for the time is short. “Make baste*’ is the language of a New Zealand chief—‘Make haste; for their sun is fast goiug down, for whom you have tc work.” They arc dying urouud you.

If the night cometh to you had water yesterday—I have water to- as well as to others, there is a sense in trnctcdneos we might have anticipa ted! It is a shadow, a vapor, a day, 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 happens to man. it may occur prematurely, fa the life of maq the •uu often goes down while it u vet day.

There may lie no gradual decay; no admonitory symptoms; no wasting long-continued di*eaae; no preaagea or pretentinenta of deall^ An unexpected atUak of diseaae rapidly doing iu work; aa ac cident, the possibility of which never occurred to the mind, may in the case of any person destroy the remainder of his mortal life, reduce h» body to the dust of death, and introduce his •ul to that world where it most reap i it has been towiag on earth. Can 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. Be openly decided for God. Jf erer there were time* in which neutrality could be tolerated, these are not ouch. 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- § ard to the interests of your soul in- uce you to neglect it anv longer your self. Up, theu, and be doing. Let the recollection of those who are no more on earth—tho pious and the sinners— whom yon have known, and seen enter the dark valley, and whose remains 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 thq patient waiting tor Christ. 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 what I say to yon, and go along out of Hera it to* said Faiher rhil— “hen it to, and no denying it—down In block and white; hat if they who give ora down in black, how much blacker ora those who have not given at all! Bat I hope they will be ashamed of themselves when I howld up to those to hooor who have con tributed to tho dpbowlding of the house of God. And isn’t it ashamed 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 a good thatch on the place, and pre vent the appearance of the evidence from Heaven against you every Sun day, which is condemning yon before your faces, and behind your backs too, for don’t I see this minmt a slramo o’ wather that might turn 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 tod* under a very heavy drip from the 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 same time? Sure I have no chance of 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- dher with lus heavy words.” (Here a low murmur of dissent ran through the throng.) “Ha! ha Iso you wouldn’t like it, 1 see—very well, very well, take care, then, tor if I fiud you insensible to my moderate reproofs, you hard hearted haythens, you malcfacthore and persecuthors, that won’t put yonr hands in your pockets because your mild and quiet poor fool of a patthor has no tongue in his head!
