OVERWHELMING ARGUMENT.-Dr. Lathrop
in one of his sermons says, 'if it were true
that there is no God, what evidence can the
Atheist have, that he shall not exist and be
miserable How came he to exist at all ?
Whatever was the cause Of his existence
here, may be the cause Of his existence
hereafter. Or, if there is no cause, he may
exist without a cause in another state, as we'll
as in this. And if his corrupt heart and
abominablc works make him so unhappy
here, that he had rather be annihilated, than
run the hazard Of a future existence, what
hinders but what he may be unhappy forev-
err? The man then, is a fool, who wishes
there were no God, hoping thus to be secure
from future misery, for admitting there were
no God, still he may exist hereafter, as we'll
as here /; if he does exist, his corruptions and
vices may render him miserable eternally, as
we'll as for the present.

My second one, just past his second year
And talking seriously; for even a child,
So young, oft loves and wears the serious mood
Adopting it most naturally and sweetly.

A good obedient boy, loving and mild,
And innocent, he would be loved of God,
And God would take him up at last to heaven.

What more, indeed, do any of us know!

But soon an anxious shade passed DER its light,
And looking steadfastly, he said,

LEAVES FROM MEMORY'S NOTE BOOK.

The market Of Valparaiso is exceeding
good. Its chief excellence is the abundance
and cheapncss offruits and vegetables. They
do not equal the more cultivated kinds which
are to be had in the markets of the United
States. Peaches, Pears, Apples, Grapes,
Figs, Strawberries, (Which are strung upon
straws and sold by the rara, or yard, Plums
and Ounces, are the most plentiful. The
English steamers bring regular supplies of
tropical fruits from Peru and Guayaquil, so
that the luscious chirimoyas of the former
country, and the magnificent pine-apples Of
the latter are now to be had. The country,
in the immediate vicinity of the town, is too
rugged and dry to admit of profitable farm
ing. Most Of the produce is brought from
twenty to forty miles distance. There is
but little wild game. During the winter, par
tridges are common, and of excellent flavor.
There is neither variety or splendor in
the churches Of Valparaiso: The new church
near the plaza, may be excepted. A better
taste and more wealth is displayed in that.
/ was present at its dedication, and the cele-
bration of Corpus Christi; a festival the real
intention Of which | could not learn, though
my inquiries were made among a Roman
Catholic population. The pomp and display
was all that occupied the minds Of the crowd.
For Valparaiso, they were considerable.
The whole population Of the city and neigh
boring country, dressed in their holiday at
tire, poured into the streets surrounding the
church. 1t was an excellent opportunity to
compare the citizens and citizen soldiery
Of the most southern and hourishing re-
public Of the south, with those of their
greater sister at the north. The department
Of the former was most decorous. Their
picturesque dresses, in which bright %colors,
flowing robes, rich shawls and ponchos pre-
dominated, were Haunted gaily in the bril-
liant sunlight. Their fashions were their
own, but in the crowd was a goodly sprink-
ling Of the exquisites of France and Eng
land. Houses to their balconies and roofs
were filled to overlooking. The soldiery to
the number of 1000 or Whereabouts, were
paraded according to their regiments. They
were not regular troops, but drafted from
the people Of the town; and it must be
allowed, their bearing and appearance were
soldier-like in a high degree. Their uni
form was simple and neat, and the volunteer
hands Of music which accompanied them
were excellent. These bands play in the
public squares two evenings in each week.
Ihe professions and ceremonies were too
complicated for me to describe. All the
paraphernalia Of the church was brought
forward to add splendor to the august occa-
SION. But, to a protestant, there is little Of
interest in Witnessing these ceremonies.

ALPINE SKIEs.-Soon after sunrise, on a
fine morning, when the sky, which relieves
the silver white of the peaks of the Alps,
shows, by the intensity Of its blue, not only
that it's beholder is at a considerable eleva-
ton, but also that there is very little aqueous
vapor held in suspension in the atmosphere,
and consequently that in all probability the
day will continue clear, it is no uncommon
circumstance to see their first flying wrcaths
of clouds start suddenly into existence out of
its sercnity-almost, in fact, like a puff Of
smokc-and then as suddenly disappear; so
that the spectator is almost inclined to doubt
the clearness of his vision-when having
first swept the whole heavens with his eye,
and congratulated himself on its utter cloud
l~essness his glance a moment after falls on a
line of rapidly increasing and apparently low
clouds-when, after the lapse of another min
ute. the sky, to his establishment, appears a.
deeply blue, as purely vaporless as ever

REsIGNATIoN.-We are seldom contented
with our lot. If afflicted, we are impatient
to be freed. If prosperous, we are c%ontinu-
ally aspiring to be more so. IT'S thus thro'
life with the restless spirit of man. The
present he scarcely heeds. There is to him
no charm in the circumstances that surround
him. The impressions of the past lave ia
dcd like a dream. His whole soul grasps at
something in anticipation. How infinitely
happier might we be, were we to make the
most of our present condition, and enjoy life
as it is, and not as it is to be. We should
appreciate every flower of comfort as it un-
folds itself to our view, and sip its sweets be-
fore it fades nor thrust the thorn which cv-
cry rose %conceals, deeper than it would of
itself wound, merely to exaggeratc affection
and furnish IN excuse for a murmuring, re-
pining and fault finding spirit.-Eulalia.
