Conviction from Time

A YOUNG man attended a ball and was highly delighted with the diversion. In the midst of their enjoyment the clock struck one. That striking passage of Dr. Young's instantly rushed upon his mind:
"The bell strikes one—we take no note of time, But from its loss:—to give it then a tongue Is wise in man. As if an angel spoke, I feel the solemn sound; if heard aright, It is the knell of my departed hours."
Conviction seized the youth. He left the ball-room, retired to his closet, and gave himself to Christ.
