BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

BY REV ORvIILE DEWEY.
 ! confess that if could build church in all respects to suit my own taste, l would build it in the solemn and beautiful style of the churches of England, the Gothic style; and would build it in enduring stone, that it might gather successive generations with in it's holy walls, that passing centuries might shed their hallowing charm around it, that the children might worship where their fathers had worshipped from age to age, and feel as if the spirits of their fath- CTS still mingled in their holy rites. Nay more do say, and farther would go-I am not speaking, of course, as proposing any thing, but as individually preferring it but say for myself that I would place altars in that church, where prayer might be said daily, where daily resorts might be had by all whose inclination prompted so that whoever passed by might have liberty at any hour of the day, to turn aside from his business, his occupation, his care, or his leisurely walk-in his sorrow, or his joy, or his anxiety, or his fear, or his de- sire, and want or trouble, and temptation, so ofaor b<set,;ng ti'0S S'vPs UfvsuTy 'HuTtaI life--to turn aside, l say, and bow down amid the awful stiffness of the sanctuary. Let it not be said as detracting from the importance of the religious architecture of a country, or as an apology for neglect or irreverence tow ards the churches, that all places arc holy-that the universe is the temple of God. 1t is true, indeed, that the whole frame of nature is temple for worship, but is it mean or an unadored temple? Nay what structure Is i, and what glorious adorniHg is put upon it, to touch the springs of imagination and feel ing. to excite the principle of devotion What painted or gilded dome is like that arch of blue that swelIs above US r What a blaze of clustering lamps, or even bur- ming tapers, is like the lamp Of day hung in the heavens, or the silent and mysterious lights that burn forever in the far-off depths of the evening skyl And what are splen- did curtains with which the churches of Rome are clothed for festal occasions. to the gorgeous clouds that aost around the pavilion of morning. or the tabernacle of the sitting sunl And what mighty pave ment of tesselated marble can compare with the green valleys, the enamelled plains. the whole variegated, broad and bOundl ess pavement of this worlds surface, on which the mighty congregation of the children of men are standingi What, too, are altars
