Nature may lavish mm}, on im- person—the enchantment .ii' the countenance—the grace of her mieii—orthe strength of her intellect; t-et her loveliness is uncrowned till piety throws around the whole the sweetness imdthepower other charms. She then becomes unearthly in her desires and as- sociations. The spell which boundher sfl'ectionstothings below is broken—and she mounts on the silent wings of her [my anilhopo to the habitation of God. where it is her delight to hold commu- iiioti with the spirits that have been ran. mined from the thraldmn of earth and wmlhrd with a garland of glory. Ilerbeauty may throw a magical charm over many; princes and conquerors may liowwilh admiration at the shrine of Iter riches-the sons of science and poetry my embalai liei: memory in history and sang; yet tier piety must be written in the'Booli ofLife,’ that when mountains ladeaway, and every memento ol’earthly greatness is lost in the general wreck of nature, it may remain and swell the list otthatiiiightv throng, which have been clothed with the mantle ofrighteonsness, Ind their voices attuned to the tuclody of heaven.

The sweet suffering wife of this covetous man, having ex: liatisted much of her disposable per- sonal substance in procuring things necessary to her invalid state, and having long since. relinquished all hopes of obtaining relief from her‘ husband’s purse, had recourse at length to her own manual industry and mental ingenuity. While young she had been usefully educated, and had learned fine needlework and embrin dery. To these useful arts she ap-l plied herself notv in the day ofneces-e sity, and with some success.

The mean miser Cochou lived a monument of the wrath of God poured ont on covo etousness, always feeding. but never satisfied. An tinrepeiiting conscious- ness of sin in being the murderer of his wife bereaved him of his reason, but altered not his passions. As a lunatic he lost his estate, and all his life was spent in asking for supplies to his voracious appetite. 'I'hnse supplies Were given hint: still from all. nev as his’wife held it towards him, and, though this was in silence. he agreed thereto, and ratified the cove- nant to do and perform the duty ex- pressed by his wil'e—for a covenant it was, and that a solemn one. God, the protector ofall such as put their trust in him, witnessed the covenant, and miser Cochon was bound in heat- ven to buy, with the money tied tip his wife the pine apple; and if he failed to perform this, thejudgments of God wouldjttstly be his due. “ Let it not be imagined here, as I llr‘. ing procured from a shop in town the many timlishjuconsidcrate people are loan of a little muslin and lace, sheiapt to imagine, that the smallness of was in hopes to make an article that the sums. or the intpotency of the would sell again with profit.

The lady hated con- cealment. To send by any other than , her loved husband for any thing of} personal enjoyment to herself would" in her eyes look clandestine. With- r ottt further deliberation, therefore, she applied herself in her sweetest manner to her husband. ‘ My dear- est,’ said she, ‘ to-morrow you go to market, and will you have the good- ness to attend to a little matter n'f business for me ?
