How wonderful the preservation.
"May 5 .-- Went to the Beach with three of the children.

The beast being frighted, when we were all out of the shay, overturned and broke it.

I desire it (I hope I desire it) that the Lord would teach me suitably to repent this Providence, and make suitable remarks on it, and to be suitably affected with it.

Have I done well to get me a shay?
Have I not been proud or too fond of this convenience?
Do I exercise the faith in the divine care and protection which I ought to do?
Should I not be more in my study and less fond of diversion?
Do I not withhold more than is meet from pious and charitable uses?
"May 15 .-- Shay brought home; mending cost thirty shillings.
Favored in this beyond expectation.
"May 16 .-- My wife and I rode to Rumney Marsh.

The beast frighted several times.
"June 4 .-- Disposed of my shay to Rev.Mr.White." Moral .-- Under conditions of like adversity, let every chauffeur cultivate the same spirit of humility,--and look for a Deacon White.
END.
