Peace.

| The word which Fenelon has most frequently
used to express the happiness to which the mine
ascends by a supreme love of God-'pcace, per-
haps, is the most expressive which language at
fords. We fear, however, that its full import i:
not always received. There is atwo-fold peace
The first is negative. 1t is relief from disquie1
and corrnding care. 1t is repose after conflict and
storms. But there is another and a higher peace
to which this is but the prelude, "a peace ofGod
which passeth all understanding, and properly
called "the kingdom of heaven within u.s." This
state is anything but negative. 1t is the highest
and most strenuous action of the soul, but an en-
tirely harmonious action, in which all our powers
and affections are blended in a beautiful proper
ton, and sustain and perfect one another. 1t is
more than silence after storms. 1t is as the con-
cord of all melodious sounds. Has the reader
never known a season. when, in the fullest flow
of thought and feeling, in the universal action Of
the soul, an inward calm, profound as midnight
silence, yet bright rs the still summer morn, full OF
Joy, but unbroken by one throb of tumultuous pas
sion.has been breathed through his spirit, and given
him a glimpse and presage of the serenity of a
happier world? OF this character is the peace of
religion. 1t is a conscious harmony with God
and the creation, an alliance oflove with all beings,
a sympathy with all that is pure and happy, a
surrender of every separate will and interest, a
participation of the spirit and life ofthc universe,
an entire concord of purpose with its infinite ORR
ginal. This is peace, and the true happiness of
man; and we think that human nature has never
entirely lost sight ofthis its great end. 1t has al
ways sighed for a repose, in which energy of
thought and will might be tempered with an all
pervading tranquility. We seem TO discover as
~pirations after this good, a dim consciousness oft
in all ages of the world. We think we see it in
those systems ofOrientiai and Grecian philosophy,
which proposed, as the contamination of present
virtue, a release from all disquiet, and an intimate
union and harmony with the Divine Mind. We
aspiration, in the works of ancient art which time
has sparedt 10 us, in which the sculptor aiming to
embody his deepest thoughts o fhuman perfection
has joined with the fullness of life and strength, a
reposc, which breathes into the spectator an admit
ration as calm as it is exalted. There are yearn-
ings, sighings, which man does not himself COM
prehend, which break forth alike in his prosper
Gus and adverse seasons, which betray a deep, in
destructible faith in a good that he has not found.

THE NEW GENEsEE FARMER.

The cheapest Agricultural Paper in the Tn
ion-Only FIFTY CENTS a year, (in ad-
%vance.) Sixteen large pages monthly,
with cnls. }. J. THOMAS & NJ. B. BATE
HAM. Editors. DAVID THOMAS and others,
assistants. One Hundred Correspondents.
THE fattering encouragement which the
Il New Gcnesee Farmer has received du-
ring the past year, has convinced the p~roprie
tors that the paper can be sustained in its
naiire soil, and al lis economical price; and
while they express their gratitude for the as.
SIS ;nce they have thus far received, they
wou.d now, with renewed confidence, ap-
peal to The friends Of Agriculture in behalf
OF the Second Volume. The paper is so
well known, and so highly approved, that it
is unnecessary TO speak of its character,
further than TO say, that it will not suffer bv
a comparison with any other paper of the
kind in the United States. Each successive
number has shown an increase of talent and
correspondents. 1t has received during the
past year, original communications from
ONE HUNDRED WRITER'S, most of
whom are well known practical Farmers.
1t also contains the most useful seIec ions
from other Agricultural journals, reports of
the Markets, DC.
The object Of the New Genesee Farmer
is 10 advance the great interests of Agricul-
ture and HortIculture-to benefit the com.
munity liz general, and Farmers in p~ar,icu-
lar. Experience proves that il is well cal.
culated to promote this object; and there
fore it is the duty Of every friend of i'm.
provement to extend its circulation, in order
that its influence may be felt throughout the
Agricultural community.
The friends of Agricultural Societies
should especially encourage this paper; for
unless farmers read on the subject, and get
their minds interested in thier profession, they
will not act efficiently for its advancement.
The Societies formed last year in western
New York, and their fine exhibitions, have
given a new impulse to the cause in
this section of country; and it is confidently
expected that much more will be done the
season.

The Christian Warfare.

Oh! speed thee, Christian, on thy way,
And to thy armor cling:
With girded loins tie call obey
That grace and mercy bring.
There is a battle to be fought
An uphill race to run
A crown of glory to be sought
A victory TO be won.
The shield of faith will blunt the dart
That Satan's hand may throw;
His arrow cannot reach thy heart,
If Christ control the bow.
The glowing lamp of prayer will light
Thee on thy anxious road;
Twill keep the goal of heaven in sight;
And guide thee to thy God.
Oh! faint not, Christian, for thy signs
Are heard before his throne:
The race must come before the prize
The cross before the crown.

Never Despair.

Though the pillows of life around thee should roll,
And the waters of darkness break over thy soul:
Tho thy brow should be clouded with sorrow or
Yet there is a promise-then never despair
Though the friends of thy youth should be alter'd
and chang'd,
And the hearts that were fondest for ever es-
trang'd;
Though tears should embitter affections warm
prayer,
Yet there is a promise then never despair"
Though the wings of thy spirit be broken and
crush'd,
And the voice that is loved, in eternity be hush'd;
Tho death blight the prospects of all that is fair
Yet there is a promise-then never despair! =
Although by the world thou art coldly forsaken,
Let thy faith in that promise be ever mistaken
1t will cheer thee through life, and bless thee in
death,
And wing with delight thy last dying breath.
For that promise is life in yon heaven above,
Where justice is throned with sweet mercy and
love;
Where blessings immortal and glories divine,
For the chosen of God everlastingly shine.
Then cling not to earth with its struggle and
strife,
Let it crush not thy spirit, though it darken thy
life;
But in thy dark moment of anguish and care,
Remember the promise, and never despair!

The Lightning Flash.


Two persons, an old lady and a girl, were kill
ed by lightning in the Presbyterian meeting
house, in Montville, CT, on Sunday, June l
1928, while the congregation were singing
The following is not an exaggerated account ofth
particulars -
The sabbath morn came sweetly On
The sunbeams mildly shone upon
Each rock, and tree, and flower;
And floating on the southern gale
The clouds seemed gloriously to sail
Along the heavens, as if to hail
That calm and holy hour.
By winding path and alley green,
The lightsome and the young were seen
To Join the gathering throng:
While with slow step, and solemn look,
The elders of the village took
Their way and, as with age they shook,
Went reverently along.
They meet-,he "sweet psalm tune" they
raise
They join their grateful hearts, and praise
The Maker they adore.
They met in holy JOY but they
Grieve now, who saw His wrath that day,
And sadly went they all away,
And better than before.
There was one cloud that overcast
The valley and the hill, nor past
Like other mists away.
II moved not round the circling sweep
OF the clear sky, but dark and deep
Came down upon them, sheer and steep,
When they had met to pray.
One single flash! 1t rent the spire,
And pointed downward all its fire.
What arm its power could stay?
There was an aged head and there
Was beauty in its youth, and fair
Floated the young locks of her hair:
1t called them both away!
The sabbath eve went sweetly down;
Its parting sun-beams mildly shone
Upon each rock and flower:
And gently blew the southern gale;
But on it was a voice of wall.
And eyes were wet, and cheeks were pale,
In that sad evening hour.
