LEILA ADA [Conlimied]

Our travellers now continued their journey to Italy. Here they visited Milan, Verona, Ve- nice, Ferraro, Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples. Leila’s reflections upon.the various scenes witnessed. display power of no ordinary strength. as well as deep ‘seriousness. We quote a paragraph or two. , “Passing l\‘auii” says she “and its picturesque but ruined bridge, and the beautiful Civitii Castellona, we entered the dreary solitude of the campaigns di Rome. The aspect of this desolate waste. combined with a recollection of the scenes of grandeur and tumult to which it had been wit- nesss, ﬁlled me with it deep melancholy. To feel that you are treading upon the ashes of a nation, whose sway once ovcrned the world. of an empire which once existed in the greatest earthly splendour, the cultivation of whose intellect had attained to a high degree of per- fection, and then look around and witness this majesty humbled to the dust and silence and desolation, seated ii on its ruins how Impress- ive! The air, which I am this moment breath- ing,'uiioe resoundcd with the loud notes of the martial trumpet; mighty legions and trium_ phant cars have coursed upon this very ground ; the victor and the vanquished have trod its surface. the regal diii-iciii has on this spot been led captive at the conqueror's victorious char- riot: the ini tiest princes of the earth have here licked: the dust and I'(.‘Ildt'I'e(l the most an inissivefhomage to their proud mistress. l.te1<‘*9. and I am pointed tosoiiie stunted sbru s,a few )l§ﬂ,lIIllt0CI,¢0Il3l)lll5 and broken statues, which here and there liaburieii in the soil, the disse- vered and ruined archcs of an aqueduct, or, at intervals, some inolanulioly tower.‘

Dread- ful are the e_ ectii of the unrestrained passions of men. Nnions. which -have ﬁlled the measure of llniiuisiiquities, are hauled from the pinna- cleof power, -their’ country given to ruin and

I desolation; but all work together for good, in

the wisdom of him who governs the universe, and sees from beginning to en .” ‘From Italy, Leila and her fiither pursued their way to Greece, where they visited Athens andwitiicssed all tliat,-remained of what was once ,'t'li'e fnuious city of ‘Lycurgus. From Greece, they sailed through the romantic and wildly beautiful isles of the blue Aigean, to Constantinople Here there was much to excite tlieinterest of Leila.

e have already seen that Leila had begun to read the New Testament. — While she was car- nestly scsking div.inc direction in regard to the way of salvation, while she was unreservedly submitting herself to divine guidance and de- termined to follow the loadings of the Lord, whatever it might cost her, she seems still to have been in some uncortsint . in regard to the right way.

MAKING Fans wirii -riia Comsuivnsiasrs. ——The late Dr. Lockliart. of the College Church, Glasgow, when travelling in Eng- land, was sojourning at an inn when t e Sabbath came roun . On entering the public room, and about to set out to church, he found two gentlemen preparing for a game of chess. He addressed them in words to this eﬂ'ect:—-“Gentlemen, have ‘ u locked up your portmsnteaus care- fully?” “ No. What! are there tliievcs in this house?” Answer: “I do',not say

that, only I was thinking that if the waiter

“ It is a solemn sccncl From my windows‘ I see the Mount of Olives, the deep ravine that; forms the bed of the brook Kedrpn, and tlicj valley of Jeliosliaphiit, where fathers lic buried. Beneath me lies most “We Holy City With_a sli ht turn ofmy head, Isee the Mount Moriah an the enclosure wlicre‘oiice stood the; Temple of the Lord. A in phifting my view,; I see the, few thin-leave olive which are sup-’ posed to mark the garden of pthseuiiine—the, scene of the agony of the divine Redeemer. A I solemn calmness hover ever where around me. 5 My spirit liarinonizes with t e time andscene.”;

From Jerusiilem,l.eilaandlier father returned I by the way of Alexandria, Malta pnd'Frauce to i England, to their beloved residence in" Corn- wall. Her lirst solicitude was to find a com-l pany of simple earnest Christians, as she her-l self expressed it. t a dbapel about three1 miles from her father's house, there worship-l ped such a congregation us she desired. "o. avoid the displeasure of her father, which slio knew would fall upon her’, she attended by stealth and mostl in the evenings. At iirsts she kept herself closely veiled, so as not to be 1 known by the con regation. But, as the Holy’ Spirit applied to her the truths declared, she by degrees cast olfrcserve, and at length sought an interview with the minister, by wboiii she; was baptizcii, in presence of the congreg:itioii~ and partook with them the ordinance of the| supper. At that time, she attained to lllthhl peace which she had so long earnestly sou lit.‘

Iler next solicitude was in regard to ‘liar- father. Not only did she feel herself bound by the near relation in which she stood to him, but by a regard to tliristian principle, to attempt his conversion from Judaism to Chris- , tianity. But how this was to be effected cost her uiuch anxious thought iind many earnest;

rayers. Slic at length determined to leave ii.’ ibtter on his dressing table. "l‘lie night on’ which this was done, was s ent in pra‘er fora blessing upon it. This otter is re ate with a sound sense and tho iuost touc ing ﬁlial aﬂbction. ‘

The meeting with her father in the morning‘ was deeply alil-cting. lle expostulutcs wit her on her renunciation ol'Jiiduism, endeavors to reclaim her from what he considered lier spostasy, while, on the other hand, she respect- full and adectionately pleads the cause of Christianity. lie then informs her, that she must be excluded from his presence for it week, when, if she renounce not the religion of Jesus, she must be sent toy‘ her uncle's. All this is painful to her in the extreme, but her religion supports her in this trial; she linds strength at the throne of ace. The week having=‘tlapsed, the faith of lﬁlll in the Chris- tian religion is as firm as ever and therefore slicis sent to her uncle's. Ilcre we must leave her in the mean time. R

Errncrs or TOO MUCH \’Vi.\'i;.-—\Viiic heightens indilfei-ence into love, love into jealousy, and jealousy into madness.

It gives bitterness to resentment, it makes vanity insupportublc, and displays every spot of the soul in its utmost deforiiiily.
