How many have reason to bless the Temple of the Lord-bow blessed the participation uf it hallowed rite and ordinances, and th sweet fruits of pure aud uudefiled religion.

The world destitute of religion is a wilderness, hot and burninu as the desert, without a stream, with out a tree, without one green spot to cheer the eye or refresh the heart of the weary traveler.

"It is good for me that I have been in trouble" How many have suffered in this way how many experienced some life sadness, and yet have they not eventuated in lasting benefits May they not say, then, even while suffering the depths of woe "it is good for me to be here." But Christ's g.acious presence is peculiarly manifest at the hour of death. Death is the test of truth, of principle). It tries, as with fire, all the promises, all the motives, all the capabilities of the world. If the King of Terrors be met with firmness, resignation and child like trust, the Christian is more than couqueror.

An offioer of the army, a passenger in the Uuited Steles steamship Susquehanna, ho furnished us with the subjoined acoouot of the rescue of a seaman fom drowning under peculiarly perilous eircumstanoes.

During the run from San Francisco to Philadelphia of the steam frigate Susquehanna, many occurrence, which displayed the ready, prompt jugdment of her commander, and the zeal and reliability of her officers and crew, came under my observation, and I cannot refram from giving publicity to the iu which these qualities were brought out in a striking manner: On the morning of the 7th of March, when off Cape Hatteraa in the Gulf stream, during a severe gale of wind, the startling cry of "A man overboard" was heard. He had been washed off by a heavy sea. The wave wer running fearfully high, and the gale trong that our two topsails and forctop staysails were carried away witlnr. that very nour, ana a scnoouer mroMaa laying to under balanced reefed mainsail. The ship was driving through the, water at the rate of more than eleveu and, considering the difficulty and danger of lowering and managing a boat in suca sea, the rapidity with which we were leaving the poor wretch behind, and the length of time which must elapse before assistance could reach him, if sent, I felt satisfied that he was irretrievably lost.

Small, however, ns the chance seemed of saving the man, and dangerous the attempt, there was not moment's hesitation. Captain Buchanan ordered the helm put down, engines stopped, and quarter boat lowered. A volunteer crew of a dozen brave fellows, beaded by Lieut. Cooper, leaped into her stud the boat was lowered at the great risk of being capsized or crushed by the heavy rolling of the ship. By a sudden jerk during one of these rolls Mr.

Cooper was pitched overboard, aud it seemed that the next wave would sweep him away fortunately he held fast to the rope or fall which be had been handling, and grasping the side of the boat he wee dragged in, escaping with a few about the head and shoulder The little boat seeming by compar'son with these enormous billows a mere shell upon the surface, proceeded upon her errand of mercy, and was soon lost to view. In the meantime the ship was put about, (a thing "easier said than done" in sucb a gale,) and followed the small boat. Our hopes of Aving the man wer increased by learning that be had been last seen clinging to a water bucket which he happened to have been using at the time, and to our great joy we found, on reuching the siuull that he had been rescue in an almost exhausted condition The bucket, reversed, had served him aa a buoy and saved his life. Th detention of the ship was but one hour. Peaea has its victories well it War," but how faintlv ar its heroes appreciated iu comparison how poorly rewarded So much the more to their honor.

No method could hove been more effectual in dissipating their ears, arousing ine.r pious seusiuitiiies, or reviving their drooping spirits. The person talking with Jesus on that occasion, wer none other than the two great prophet Moae and Elias, on th giter of th Law nd th other it restorer, They spoke of his pproaahiog death. Yes! eis in th4 miitt hit glory, they referred to his suffering and shame.

Instead of th garment of light, now wreathed about hi sacred body, should be th purple robe of scorn. Instead ol the heavenly crown which now decked his august brow, should be the crown of thorns. That face, beautiful, n.a- jestic, beaming like th sun, should be marred, buffeted spit upon, covsred with blood. That body erect vigeruu without spot or blemish, should be bowed low in lb garden of agony, a sweat exuding from each pore, and finally be fixed, quivering--with anguish to the accursed tree. Well indeed was it far the favored few that they witnessed thi vivid manifestation of his power and glory, tlse wncn streiciiea spun the cross, stricken, bruised, piereed, and crying in piteous tones "Eloi, Eloi, lama tabacktham" they must have fallen into the deepest gloom end despair, and have given all belief, all hope.

But when these things did come to pass, then they remembered the mount of Transfiguration and wer not a little comforted. But other important purposes were likewise subserved, by thi remarkable display. The appearance of Moses and Elias proved most con clusively, the existence of the soul after death a very important fact to all the disciples, be cause'the miserable doctrine of the 3adducese, (that there "was no resurrection, that the soul nerished with the body, wss annihilated) was daily taught aud constantly gaining ground among the Jews. The appearance, therefore, of these two prophets, was proof of the contrary thi evidence was strengthened afterwards by the rising of many saints it th Cru cifixion, and waa confirmed and forever set at rest by the resurrection of our Lord. The con-1 venation between Christ and hi companions, also showed the entire consonance of Moses and the prophets doctrine, with his eufforiugs and death, before he entered into his glory.

It was also source of much gratification to the apostles as well aa the believing Jews, to find Moses and Elias assisting Jews in the new dispensation, which was undoubtedly the completion and perfection of the Law. By their assent the seal of truth was affixed to the new covenant, and the law, th shadow of this "good thing" was abrogated. Christ was that great prophet whom Muse declared th people should hear," and the voice of the Father confirmed it: "Thi is my beloved son, hear ye hill." The Transfiguration further demonstrated, that all the misery and shame Christ was about to undergo, was perfectly voluntary on his part: since it was quite aa easy for him to avoid- suffering and. death, as to adorn himself with the dazzling brightness of the upper world; while it further exhibited the beauty and periecuon of the glorified bodies of his saints, when the mertal shall put on immortality. Peter's wrapt remark, therefore, was very opposite, as he stood gazing upon the glowing spectacle, Lord its good for us to bo here." Although He is absent now in the flesh and will come no more until the time when He shall assume th throne of David and reign supreme on earth, still He is present with men in all ways and in all places by His spirit But He manifest himself more particularly iis-.

the prayer eoniecrated closet. There the Christian bas the most abundant and delightful evidence of His presence. He shuts out the world, its cares, fts turmoils, and seeks in His hallowed retirement that communion and fellowship with I Christ which he ean have aud enjoy no where else and wilh no other person. There, even the sigh of penitence and faith, springing from a broken and contrite heart, ascends to Heaven, with its angel attendant There, in the agony of a sin stricken spirit, when pain and grief are scarcely to be borne, he feels the influence of the Invisible comforter, dittusing ligiit ana peace and joy in the soul. There, he moy freely confess his manifold and great transgressions, where no eye but God's sees, where no ear but His hears.

Express without fear all the varied feelings of his heart, and urge the promises of the Gospel in Ins own behair. there be may find that happy, pnre and quiet intimacy which the world eauuot afford, and know that the intercourse is as unrestrained as it ia blissfull. He is alone communing with Christ and his own thoughts. There, the silent but expressive tear may steal unheeded over the cheek and fall upon the book of Life: sorrow is not embittered by a frowning face or harsh expression, lit knows thai pardon is to be obtained for the sincere penitunt, and having a sure promise, he goes boldly to the throne of grace aud finds help in time of need; all is still, peaceful and happy. But who can adequately describe the seem of a retired closet the alteruation of grief, hope or joy, swelling in upon I he soul, like the waves of the sea retiring, when the Holy Spirit applie th nnction from above Ahl to be there i one of th believer chief- est delight ha is indeed never less alone than when thus by himself he people in past ana the future, he limrcrs o'er the mercy ol God, as displayed through the atonement of bis blessed Koderoer: he can realize in some slight degree the vastn the inSbiteiiess ul the saciiuce, whilst he deplore the depth of the depravity that made it uecery.

At such times, when burning love melt hi very heart, under deep sense of Christ' intervention in behalf of his perishing soul, he exclaims with emotions of the deepest gratitude and adoration, "Lord it i good for tne to be here." At the family Alter too, ne it present. Here the incense ie kept burning, and tb oil unconsumed, th Christian may fully realize the precious promise that whes-o "two or three are gathered together, there will he be in the midst Ihem." Here many a heart baa fe.t tbe influences of the noly Spirit. Father, mothers, children have, perhaps, traced to that still hour mora or eve, around the family altar, the faint dawning of religion. Here the faith the husband or wife has been exercised and trengtbened iu behalf uf each ether and their beloved offspring. In prosperity they knelt by aide in devout thanksgivings for untold blesaiugs and jaereiee; and ia aorrvwa dark night, when friend wer few, and joy had fled away, when cruel malice bad triumphed e'er honesty aod fame, th fervent prayer for God' friendship and love ascends, snvro towelling, more faithful, mre humble; thea while aighuig departed joys and hopes, while loot in the gloom of deudery sod grief, the bright of faith arises, to shed iu hallowed light lustre, to quiet th heaviag breast, to calm raging (101111.
