“YOUTH IS THE TIME.” 
BY FLORENCE HOWARD. 
Oo, when the heart is warm with youth; 
Go, when the soul is free from care, 
Kneel, at the throne of Heav'nly Truth, 
And ask for guidance there. 
Oil 1 wait not till the bright days pans, 
And cares come thronging round thy way; 
This pleasant morn will flee, alas I 
And he who finds must seek to-day. 
Thrice happy and thrice blest is he 
“ Who hears religion’s warning voice;” 
Who seeks, in youth “ bright wisdom's tree,” 
Whose fruit will make his soul rejoice. 
OUR MINISTER. 
He is a young man, and one wc highly es¬ 
teem and very much love. His labors are very 
acceptable to us all, and we should be very 
loath to part with him, for we might try many, 
and not be so well satisfied. But there is a 
serious difficulty with him, and we scarcely know 
how to get along with it. We have resorted 
to various expedients, but they are all unavail¬ 
ing—they accomplish nothing. The fact is, our 
minister has no wife, and we all think he ought 
to get married, the good of the parish requires 
it The good Mrs. Make-matches , and that 
very benevolent and disinterested person, Miss 
Pell-more-tlian-she-knows, have talked and 
planned on the subject so much that they are 
well nigh exhausted, and our minister just pays 
no attention to them. Wc all want to know 
what his intentions are, we think we ought to 
know, for we are his friends. In truth, we more 
than half suspect, that he means to get a wife 
before long, and we all do so want to know who 
that wife will be. The other day, our minister 
was seen walking by the side of a young lady 
who is a member of bis church. We knoiv it
