MISCELLANEOUS.
An ELOQUENT Extract.

FROM AN ADDRESS BY HON. HORACE MANN.
alt were better, far better, that the atheist
and the blasphemer, and he who since the
last setting sun has died his parricide or sunk
his soul in sacrlege should challenge equal
political power with the wisest and best, than
that the great lesson winch Heaven for six
thousand years, has been teaching the world,
should be lost upon 1.-THE lesson. that the
intellectual and moral nature Of man, is the
one thing precious in the sight Of God, and
therefore, that unless this nature is ensighl-
ened and refined and purified, neither opul-
ence, nor power, nor learning, nor genius,
nor domestic sanctity, nor the holiness of
Gods affairs can be safe. Until the immor~
tai and god-like capacities of every human
being that comes into the world are deemed
more worthy, are watched more tenderly
than any other thing, no dynasty of men, no
form of governments shall stand Or can stand
upon the face of the earth, and the force of
fraud that would seek to uphold them shall
be but as letters of fax to bind the flame.
Let those who are jeoparded or lost by fraud
or misgovernment, let those who quake with
apprehension for the fate ofall they hold dear,
let those who behold and lament the desc

counsels are perplexed, whose plans are baf-

them all know that whatever of i'll they fear

age of man, he has neither the heart nor
the soul, nor the feeling Of a man. No,
there is nothing just, nor manly, nor noble,
nor honorable about him. He is hardly on
"a level with the brutes-and is far below
the smallest specimen Of humanity that ever
existed. His heart is harder than STEEL
He is unfit TO live in civilized society. No
one should associate with him. All should
avoid him as they would tiger or hyena-
or as they would the pestiIential air of an
infected city, where some frightful maIady
is sweeping of its victims by thousands.
There is something poisonous and contami-
mating in the very breath Of the slanderer.
The ignOble wretch who is guilty of the
foul crime Of slander-he who wantonly
and maliciOusly assails the character of his
fellow man-ought to receive the contempt,
the hatred, and the curses of the whole
world.

How deep inspired is all below
The earth, the sea, the silent air;
Where'er we be, where'er we go,
That viewles spirit still is there.
The flower that holds within its breast
The pearly, starlit drop of dew,
The verdant woods in beauty dressed
Are writ with praise in every hue;
And man in life's rejoicing day,
Believes in dreams as bright as they,
The changing seasons as they roll,
The purple morn, the days decline
Those splendors thrill the Utmost soul,
And speak an architect divine;
The rustling leaf and running stream,
There's language in their si!very tone
The solar ray, the moons pale beam,
Proclaim the wisdom all His own;
Oh, deep the power, sublime the skill,
That walked existence at His will.
Nature, with silent eloquence,
Unfolds its vast, exhaustless page,
'TiS deeply frOught, il speaketh thence,
Delights, instructs, from age to age;
IT'S Omnipresence fills all space,
On all around, below, above.
Infinite wisdom there we trace
It's source is pure, its name is love,
And men arise, and dust will claim
It's dust, but Nature is the same.

TRUE.-The history Of the world, as we'll
as the biography Of those who have played
prominent part in it's concerns, teach one
lesson, worthy Of everlasting remembrance.
It ass ures us that il matters but little what
form Of danger may assail man, il be be
true TO himself. Poverty may lay its chill
ing hand upon him, and freeze up the foun.
tain of his brightest hope-disappOintments
may meet him at every step--affiiction may
strike down those who are dearest TO his
fieart-the BreariI OF SANDER may attempt
TO suIIy his name, and tarnish his reputation
still let him be true to himself; let him
maintain a stout heart and clear breast; and
he will eventually cutride the storm. Let
those who are struggling with slow birth
and iron fortune," remember this truth: and
let them remember, too, that no man can be
destroyed by others without fault and weak,
ness in himself.-Skenstone.

The GENrLENEss OF CHRIsT.-What an ex-
preston! How much to admire; how much
to initiate! Christ performed great deeds,
such as no one ever did; but not that we
should initiate them. He spake to the tenn
pest, and stilled the rolling bilows-but not
that we should lift our voices when the wind
blows, and the thunder rolls, and the waves
are piled mountains high, and attempt to
hush them to peace. He stood by the grave
and spake; and the dead man left his tomb
and came again to lfe-but not that we
should place ourselves by the grave of the
dead and attempt 10 restore them to life.
He opened the eyes of the blind, and
taught the lame man to leap as an hart. and
the tongue of the dumb to sing-but not
that we should initiate him, in this, or at.
tempt by miricle to give vigor TO the feeble,
or health to the deceased. But Christ was
meek and gentle, that we might be so too
Christ patiently bore reviling, that we might
do it also; he was not irritable, and unchar-
table, and fretful, and envious, and revenge
ful--and in all these we may initiate him.
His was life of benevoIence; difusive like
the light Of the morning without clouds; a
life undisturbed by conflicting emotions; I'M
broken BY harsh and dissatisfied temper;
kind when others are unkind; gentle when
the storms of furious passion ragged in their
bosOms; and tranquil and serene while all
round him we're distracted by anger, and am
bitOn, and envy, and revenge. To Us may
the same spirit be given; and while the world
around US is agitated with, passion, and pride,
and wrath, in our hearts may there reign g the
gentieness of Christ"

A BEAUTIFUL FIGURE.-Life is beautiful
compared to fountain fed by thousand
streams that perish if one be dried. Il is
a silver cord twisted with thousand strings
that part if one be broken. Frail and
lhOughlless mortals are surrounded BY in>
Vulnerable dangers, which make ii much
more strange that they escape so long, than
that they almost all perish suddenly at last.
We are encumpassed BY accidents every
day TO crush the mOuldering tenements that
We inhabit. The seeds Of disease are plant
ed in our constitutions by nature. The
earth and the atmosphere whence We draw
the breath Of our life are impTegnated with
death; health is made to operate its own
destruction! The food that uonrishes the
body contains the elements Of its decay;
the soul that animates it by viVifying Ere
tends to wear it out by its own action, death
Turks in ambush along our paths. NotWith-
standing this is the truth, so palpably con.
frmed BY tho daily examples before Oul
eyes, how little do we lay it 10 heart. We
see our friends aud neighbOrs perish among
US; but how seldom does il occur to GU
thoughts thatour knelI shall, perhaps Civ
