Hh brother hastened to assure him of the perfect forgiveness of his parents, nd that daily and nightly he was mentioned in their supplications as their loved, aud absent, and erring one. As his strength permitted he told Lhem the storv of his waudermgs and his suffer ings. He had been in battles by sea and by land.

Oaths, imprecations, and contempt of every thing sacred, are the elements ot his trade. In this harden ed career, though I exerted myself to appear hold and courageous, my heart -constantly misgave me. God grant that it may be purified by repentance before I am summoned to the dread bar of judg menl. , His friends flattered themselves that by medical skill and nursing he might e- venu..iiy be restored to health But he said 'It can never be. My vital enarfip are wasted.1 Brother,' he would say, 'vou have been a man of peace. In the quiet oc cupation of husbandry you have served uou and loved your neighbor. You have ' been mercilul to the animal creation. You have taken the fleece and saved the sheep alive, bat I have wantonly de faced the image ot Ood, and stopped that breath which I can never restore. You have taken the honey and preserved the laboring bee, but I have destroyed man and his habitation, burned the hive and spilled the honey on the ground. You cannot imagine how bitter is now inv sor- row for the pciforaiance of suchabomma tions.' He declined rapidly. Death came on . , with hasty strides. Laying his cold hand upon the head of the eldest little boy, who. had been much around hi bed in his sick r ness, he said, 'Dear John, never be a soU , dier. Sister, brother, you have been al angels of mercy to me. The blessings of the God of peace abide with vou, and up, on your house.' So saying, be expired.
