Activity without PROGRESS,

Robert Hall that master of sarcasm, in
once speaking of certain popular preacher,
said that his preaching was perpetual motion,
but no adrance' He talked and talked, but
gave no progress to the minds of his hearers in
the truth, and aided not at all their growth in
grace Wethink this describes not few Chris
tians who are in perpetual motion in reference
to external religion, but who make no advance
IN the divine life. They are like trees of a Ger.
tain man of expedients, who never waited long
enough for them to become rooted, but in haste
to get fruit he kept changing them from place to
place. If he had set himself down and thought
one hour about himself,-his projects and bis
real claims as an orchardist, he would no doub
have been able to do better for the trees.-Thert
would not only have been planting, but growtl

How little do we think of the future destiny Of
those who daily gather round our cheerful
hearth-stone, that the time will come when those
who are now united by the most endearing ties,
who have drawn their sustenance from the same
beloved source, who have shared the same pillow.
and who have participated in each others Joys
and sorrows, must be separated and, alas how
often estranged in heart and affections, each fol-
lowing some favorite phantom, all eager to OBJ
tain what seems to them to be the greatest hap
piness independent of each other; and fortunate
are those, who, in the combat of life, are not ar
rayed against those of their own household that

Tbr 5amtIp GtrtIe,
Death not a Painful Process.

We think that most persons have been led tc
regard dying as a much more painful change
than it generally is, first, because they have
found by what they experienced in themselves
and experienced in others, that sentient beings
often struggle when in distress hence struggling
to them is sign, an invariable sign of distress
But we may remark, that struggles are very far
from being mvarlable signs of distress muscular
action and consciousness are two distinct things
often existing separately ; and we have abundant
reason to believe that in great proportion of
cases, those struggles of dying man which are
distressing to behold are as entirely independ-
ent of CONSEQUENCES as the struggles of recent
ly decapitated fowl. A second reason why men
are led to regard dying as a very painful change,
is because men often endure great pain without
dying and forgetting that like cases produce like
effects only under similar circumstances they in
fer that life cannot be destroyed without still
greater pain. But the pains of death are much
less than most persons have been led to believe,
and we doubt not that many persons who live to
the age ofpuberty, undergo tenfold more misery
than they would, did they understand correct
views concerning the change. In all cases of
dying the individual suffers no pain after the
senslbllty OF his nervous system IS often Destroy
ed without much and sometimes without any
previous pain. Those who are struck dead by a
stroke of Lightning, those who are decaptated
with one blow the axe, and those who are in
stantly destroyed by a crush of the brain, expert
ence no pain at all in passing from a state of life
to a dead state One moments expectation Of
being thus destroyed, far exceeds in misery the
pain during the act Those who faint in having
little blood taken from the arm, or on any 9TH
er occasion, have already endured all the misery
they ever would in this world did they not again
revive. Those who die of fevcrs and most other
diseases, suffer their greatest pain as general
thing, hours, or even days before they expire
The sensiblty of the nervous system becomes
gradually diminished their pain becomes less
and less acute under the same existing cause
and at the moment when their friends think
them in the greatest distress, they are more al
ease than they have been for many days previous
their disease as far as respects their feelings, be-
gins to act upon them like all opiate Indeed
many are already dead as it respects themselves
when ignorant by-standers are much the most tc
be ptied not for the loss of their friend, but fol
their sympathisng anguish Those diseases
which destroy life without Immediately affecting
the nervous system, give rise to more pain thar
those that do affect the system so as to impair it;
scnsibility, The most painful deaths which hui
man beings infict upon each other, are produc
ed by rack and faggot The halter is not sc
cruel as either of these, but more savage than the
axe. Horror and pain considered, it seems tC
US that we should choose narcotic to either.

BUNYAN's ToMB.-Bunyan was buried in Bunh
fields, where his tomb is often visited. Not long ago
funeral took place there, which attended, among
others, by the celebrated Doctor Maginn As soon as
the ceremony was over, the doctor said to the sexton
Grave-digger show me the tomb of John Bunyan
AS they approached the place, the doctor stopped ant
touching him on the shoulder, said, Tread lightly
Maginn bent over the grave for some time in melan

in solemn tones, as he turned away, Sleep on thol

Humble Life,

There is happiness in humble life-who can
doubt it The man who owns but few acres of
land, and raises an abundance to supply the ne
cessary wants of his family-can ask for no
more. If he is satisfied with his condition-and
there are thousands so situated who are-no man
is more happy Nopoitlcal movement disturbs
his repose-no speculative mania chases the
calm serenity from his mind-no scisms in the
church throw shadows beneath his golden sky.
His family is the world to him his little lot is
all his care Who signs not for such life Of
calmness and serenity 2 Amid the cares and
anxieties of business, who would not exchange
his prospects and his honors for the rcpose of
him who is contented and happy on his spot of
ground far from the noise and hustle, princely
luxury and squalid poverty, of city life If there
is situation congenial to the true spirit of man
and the growth of virtue, it is amid the rejoicngs
of nature-in the calm retirement of rural life.
