/.V 7 HE SPRING. In Be Spring Ihf young man's fancy lightly turns to thought? of lovp, And all animated creatures to the same emotion move. In the Spring the birds of passage woo their mates npnn the wing. Ard the kite deserts the small boy weeping o’er the broken string. In the Soring the mother beckons—calls the darling to her knee— Waves her silken slipper, saying, “PoD’t yon play no tricks on »,ie !” In the Spring thp mild esnary carols from his happy heart. At d the mild mule kicks his owner over the potato cart. In the Spring the turkey stupid roosts with Cup d on a limb ; E’en 'ha bzzard in his gizzard feels the wiz- Kurd poking him. In the Spring the life throbs quicker in the puke o? innocence, And the bootj*ek seeks the cats conversing on the moonlit fence. In the Spring the hnnsew'fe tries to make the turkey gobbler set, And sows cabbage seed on flower-beds, thinking it is mignonette. In the Spring the youth and maiden linger in the evening air, And fbp sighs, in broken necents, ‘ Joseph ! don’t yon muss my hair !" In the Spring thev saunter homewards, never dreaming it is late. And eaeh keepeth each from falling ns they swing upon the gate. —Puck. A Letter on Ministerial Ability, Taken from the writings of Wm. Hnnf ington, a minister of ihc gospel, who never Imlnnged to any sect church, nor was bap tised in anyway by wafer. This letter was republished by William Mosely, M G O. S. B.: 7o Mine/inter Rnw: Dkar RnoTnEn in Christ — l wish thee abundant success in thy labors, and nppirove Wt.neh of thy proceedings. It was the holy resolution of the apostle Paul no* to build on another man’s foundation, or rejoice (as some do in our day.) in another man’s line of things, made ready to their hands. Paul’s helv ambition led him to strive to preach, where Christ Jesus had not been named, and that he might see the spirit communicated and truth established by his own instrumen tality. He was for ploughing as well as sowing, jnd as a wise master builder lie was fond of lnying the foundation ; and others were ns fond of building bay, strnw and stubb’e thereon but the work was done at their peril. Aim more at being a father than h nurse. Paul says, ‘‘Though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers ; I have begotten you.” I. Cor ,iv : ]5. I bare observed some who are very fond of breaking through ail bonds into another mnn’s labors, and with a party spirit and fiery zeal will draw a wonderful train after them, both bad and pood, and if they eon tra n them up in a bigoted spirit and pet them to hate the poor pastor that first begot them, then they my. Wo have c#»- tabliihed a church. This Paul calls “zeal ously affecting them,’’ but not well. (Jo!, iv: 17. And il the father of this runaway Hook exclaims against those thieving meas ures, as Paul did. (when he called them de ceitful workers,) then these seaitering gen tlemen call it being “persecuted for right eousness sake ’’ However, Peter is of another way of thinking ; lie calls it being buffeted tor their faults, and tells them to take it pa tiently, hinting thereby that they justly de serve it. I have olten thought that if such ministers were to go into a barren soil ami cultivate their own land they would cut a very poor figure in the ministry. However, they rather choose to go amongst a simple flock with warm hearts, as they think such are easily decern d by a false zeal; and he Hint is so fot d ol warming his hands at an other man’s fire gives on* room to suspect that lie is one of Solomon’s “sluggards, who will not plough up a barren soil, by reason of the co/d, therefore he shall beg in harvest aid have nothing”—nothing tint other men’s labors. I hare watched some of these poor simple souls who have been thus led away, and all their work appeared to he condemn ing those as disorderly who were more right- eous than themselves—boasting of their or der, prejudiced against others, bitter against those who stood fast in the liberty, (where with Christ had made them free and refused to put on the yoke of bondage, viz.: “Juda >»m,”) and ei joyed the love of Christ. Tea, some wl om God has called by me, who were as dear to me as my own life, have 1 beheld with many tears, being grieved to s e the •Saviour’s image so defaced on them ; indeed, they seem to have no more features than an oyster. This taught me to understand Paul’s meaning by the following passage: “But 1 fear least by any means” [mark,any means,] “as the seipent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your uuuds should be co-ruptcd from the simplicity there is in Christ.” H. Cor., XI.: 3. Indeed, poor souls, thus led into prejudices, stripped of simplicity, taught the art ot scorning and prohibited hearing* and communing with warm-hearted, sound ministers ol Christ, are as much priest ridden as a bloodthirsty papist on Ins pil grimage, or walking barefooted, doing peu ance. ( hrist's yoke is easy, and his burden light; but all other yokes are made ol iron ; however, the yoke of priestcraft, (which all sects wear) as well as others, will be destroy ed by such as enjoy God's anointing, (which is the Holy Ghost.) Il God's grace reign and rule in the htart, there will be goed order in the affections, and such cannot walk disorderly before men; but if the heart be not changed by grace, let them appear in as much order as they will, or talk ever so much about it, they are but refined Pharisees at most,—and such are said to dwell nearer the gates ot bell thau either publicans or ballots. As to the ; r doubting ol year being sent of God, it is nothing. If God has sent tbee, he will bless thee; and let his hand 1* known toward thee, and his ioc’ignutiou to ward them that bate you for his sake. Dis senting churches (counterfeits) have sent out many into God’s vineyard whom God never owned, but batb discovered them and sent them I'flelc ini/'-lt' - ’ whency*' „ • r "ivk east lots to rhnose a minister in the plaoc of Judas, and the lot fell on Malhins, and he was numbered with Hip eleven Apostles. Thus the lot of men fell on Mathias, (as it often does in our times,) but the Saviours lot fell on Saul of Tarsus; and he, into whose lap the Lord’s lot fell, must be one of the chiefest Apostles. This was the Lord’s doing ; it was marvelous in (he eves of many. If tied giveth vou to see clearly your inteiest in his everlasting covenant, and also a door of utterance to speak soundly and boldly, and peps before you in providence to open a door for you to com municate the word of life io others, sends many sinners to hear you and opens their hearts to receive the glad tidings, and you CBn see silmera renewed in mind and re formed in life, these are full proofs of your being sent of God ; and you may say as 4’aul did : ‘‘l am a preachpr, not of man, nor bv mnn." ‘‘l have chosen you, and or dained you,” says the Saviour, and that is sufficient. As u free ngpnt, he often shows his übsolnte prerogative nowadays in the some way ; hot such as God sends are. by stiff gentlemen, (or Jinlaiz-rs) stigmatized with the name of ‘‘irregulars,” ns if the God of nil good order dealt in nothing but irregularities. However, we believe a mnn commissioned from hpaven to bo in divine orders though lie stands aloof from priestcraft, (Judaism.) Do nothing without consulting Christ.— wear no yoke but bis; have no master but him ; covet earnestly his approbation ; rejoice in no testimony but his ; watch his hand all the day long, and if God appears on thy side tlinn hast no cause to fear what flesh and blood can do unto thee. Stand fast in Christ Jesus, and you will be as an iron pillar, and a brazen wall ; but if you are looking for man’s testimony only, you will be nothing but u reed shaken with the wind. I can traly sympath.ze with you, for I have had enough of ibis false fire cast in among my sheafs, which I have sowed in tears and reaped in joy. But this he Fine of, that all those persons who communicate a narrow contracted spirit to a flock, or fix prejudice in the minds of simple souls—who divide the affections of a society, or community, and .scatter discord among them, are seedsmen ot Satan ; for God hates that man, and holds him in abomination who soweth discord among brethren, or in a community. II you will watch those dividers und seatterers, yon will see their joy counterfeited, their love feigned, their ni liter borrowed, and their way into God’s fold to be by hypocrisy, craftiness and the cunning nrt of the devil. .Surely we may get into the fold of Christ without lulling council of devils. If God gave thee a discerning rye, you will see a fallen countenance, which is a certain in dication of a guilty conscience through all tlwi mask of their feigned love; but if you stand fust in Christ .Jesus, your lace will shine, ai d God will appear the health of your countenance ; and that, with the power which attends the word, will establish you us a minister of* Christ in the conscience of those discerning Christians who beur yon : II Cor., iv : 2 The light troop that followeth him shows of w but spit it the leader is. It has been a grief to my very soul when 1 have seen a person, whom I had great reason to believe was u hypocrite, fond of me. Alas, said I, surely 1 am of the wo. Id, for this worldling loves me; but soon God liu9 turned his heart to hate me and deal subtly with my soul. 1 bless God lor the world’s hatred, and 1 bless God for the Saints’love. Be not astonished at his gifts. A musician can play at any lime if he has the use of his hands, and a minister, with a gift only, is compared to an instrument, without life, giving sound—he can play when he pleases if be lias but the use of his tongue. However, F’uiil knew what it was to want a door ol utterance, yea, and what it was to go bound in the spirit. Ezckial knew what it was to be dumb belore a whole audience, und what it was to have his mouth opened to him that.escaped. And il this man is never burdened with the cross —if never bound in spirit—if never on the mount —if always alike—he Iris no changes, therefore he lears not God. He only stands in the testimony of men. feeds on human ap plause, and is furnished for the pulpit by Mr. Brown’s Comments, and Mr. Keatb’s Metaphors. I have nothing to say against the divinity of those good men, but you must get your divinity Irom Christ as those good nien did. or else you must eon ess at last, as the prophet’s son did, “Alas, master, it was borrowed!” I have heard some preach sound discourses, which I admired, and when I have been in conversation with them they appeared never to have experi enced anything they said. Such are subjects of blame and objects ol pity. Grace be with thee. VV. H. I have requested the republication of the above letter for the due consideration of the people and benefit of the present ministry. 11. T. PICKKN. Something Saved fk> m mi Wreck.— The scene waR hereabouts ; the characters, a rising young merchant and a pretty woman. He had an affection for her; she n liking for him, so they became betrothed. After n time she found out that she didn’t love him well enough to marry him, and the match was broken off. It was a severe blow, and he staggered under it ; hut he fought well for himself, protested that lih life was ruiued, asked if she could not learn to love him. and in all ways did the proper thing. She was immovable, however, and he sadly and re luctuntly took his leave. While" his eyes were foil of gathering tears he bade his (alt ering faiewtlls. then closed the door upon his hopes. A moment later he opened it, stepped back into the room, and, with tears in i'is voice, brokenly murmured, “I hope this will make no difference about your coming to the store, Miss ; and that your mother will continue to trade with n j . I shall be happy to give the usual discount- Our stock is large and varied ; our aim to please.’’ And the door shut finally, leaving him alone with bis grief. —Poitlund (Me.)
