The language oflove is that ofnaIure. Man
is inadequate 10 express the joy the gladness
that all creatures pour forth in the morning Of
spring; no music ofmoral ar, can initiate: no
felicitous touches of the pen describe il; the
dew drop that trembles in the blossom is more
eloquent than the choicest word Of the poeI.
What then mus, be the rapture Of the singing
bird, as it swells forth in the voice given by
God to his breathing universe! HIS eyes filed
with beauty drinking fragrance with every
breath, every pulse beating TO the exquisite
harmony OF praise .he soul of man reels in
the fulness OF its gratitude; but he is dumb
while around him rises the glad eternal an-
them Of nature and of love.

closely written manuscript exhibited 10 US q

Now we have made discovery in law; and
one probably Of ils grandest mysteries: we
never before thought Of such a thing! How
ignorant we sometimes are! Then! Them

NEwspAPERs.-A newspaper taken in a fam
lily seems TO shed a gleam Of intelligence ar
ound. 1t gives the children taste for reading;
il communicates all the important events in the
busy world; il 10 never failing source Of amuse
ment and furnishes fund Of instruction which
will never be exhausted. Every family hoW-
ever poor if they wish 10 hold a place in The
rank Of intelligent beings, should take at least
one newspaper. And the man who possessed
Of property sufficient 10 make himself easy
for life surrounded by children eager for
knowledge is insigaled by the vile spirit Of
