You say that it is all the same to you to look to the uncertainty oflife and the certainty of death, and so you put the extinc-

second advent, which was the bright- est candle ofthe primitive church.— Now, ﬁrst let us look at the fact.— It is a fact that you Christians who any so, meditate your-death and the uncertainty of your life continually? Do you every morning think within yourselves,—this day may be rry Inst, therefore let me be watchful?- lin you say every morning,--I am one day nearer death, let me be thankful? I ask you. is the idea of «'enth before your soul continually, darkening the brightness of worldly joys, unmasking world’y pleastrre,en- r-ouraging you to nobler acts of self- deninl end of service in the cause of Christ, Comforting you under the oppression ofthe World,strcngthen- in: you against the might ofyour rpiritunl enemies, and recompensing you for the worldly losses, the baton of the 'wounde of this life, and the loud ofthe power and faculties of.

THE WIDOVV.

Mine has been a trouliloua end It perilous life in matters of lovez—no sooner have I emerged from one ocean ofsighs and tears, than I have plunged headlong into another. It is

passing strange that 'I never fell in},

to mm in m’y very early days; my father did so, and so did my mother, and also my respected grand- dame. She, good soul, originally Miss Letitia Simpson, at ﬁfteen ma‘r- ried her ﬁrst husband, a Mr. Jeffrey Wilson; at sixteen, gave birth.to my mother. Her husband than died without any other issue, leaving her more than well provided for. At sevorrteen,she espoused all] r. Winch- worth, who, in his turn, consigned her to single h-lesseduess and afst dower; after which, having quarrelled with ail her race, or all her race with her, she ahjiired them and the realm, betook herself to the Con- tinent, and was barely heard of af- terwards. lily mother, following one

. part ofher example, married at six- ‘ teen, and enriched the world with me

at seventeen. Fate, however, I suppose, tfor I am a believer in fate,) destined me to—

“Waste my sweets upon the desert sir;”

and thus only can I account for my escaping all the matronly and ma— trimonial snares that beset me in my youth. Int to my tale.

On my arrival on the Continent, I

had been but a short time at ,

In accordance with their directions, I, nothing loth, (for a seat at- e desk. never was a dcsideratum with me,) sat out; and, as I was slone, and was not over- enamored of my monosylibic petrony- are. assumed one more suited to the euphony ofa billet-dour; end having, therefore, rebaptized myself, I made my appearance at my journey’s end as Augustus Montage, with, more- over, a dash of black down on my upper lip, which I digniﬁed, to my

At a party to which I liad,through these means, been asked, I one night met a Madame Perollet, whose ap- pearance, and more, her sufl‘erance of my attentions. made some impres- sion upon me.

She bore an easy, digniﬁed, and complacent smile; her ﬁgure was of the strictest pr0portions, and her carriage most graceful; moreover, she was rich, and conse- quently amiable. She was a widow, too; and, with all these qualiﬁcations, of course was greatly sought after by the men.
