The Modern pulpit.

1t seems to us that theologyis fast falling
behind the other professions, in regard to the
character and intelligence demanded in its
professors. Depth, comprehension, a large
knowledge of life, skill in dissecting ev.
dence and motives, a general force of be-
ing which never yields to moral or intellect
ual timidity, are not now insisted upon as
necessary TO the clergyman. The federation
awarded 10 feeble sermons Is the sharpest of
all silent staires on the decline of divinity.
Forcible men, possessing sufficient vigor
and vitality 10 sfget along in the world % rush
almost universally into the other professions.
Law and politieein ms country, draw into
their vertex hundreds of scholars who ought
to be preachers of Gods word both to law
and politics. If youth of education does
not evince enough understanding to sift ey-
idence or tear away the defences of so.
phism-if he lacks sufficient nerve TO badg-
era witness or ampute leg, his parents
think HIM eminently calculated for that 9th
er profession, whose members are to scatter
the reasonings of Hume and Diderot, 10
smite wickedness in high places, TO lay bare
the baseness of accredited sins, TO brave
with an unhinching from, the oppression of
the selfish and the strong, and 10 dare, if
need be, all the powers of earth and hell in
the cause of justice and truth. This, we
need not say, is all wrong If the powers
of darkness and delusion are strong in all
the strength of bad passions and sophistical
vices, let them be opposed by men whose
spirits are of the "ereatest size and divinest
mettle y by men who have the arm to
smite and brain 10 know; by men whose
souls can thread all those mazes of deceit
through which sin eudes the chase of the
weak in heart and The small in mind. With
out force of character, there can be no force
of impression. Words never gush out with
persuasive or awful power from a feeble
heart.-E. P. Hhppie.

Want Of Courage.

Sydney Smith, in his work on moral D hill
osophy, speaks in this wise of what men
lose for the want of a little brass, as it is
termed
"a great deal of talent is lost 10 the world
TOR the want Of little courage Every day
sendst 10 their graves a number of obscure
men who have only remained in obscurity
because their timidity has prevented them
from making a first effort and who, if they
could only have been induced to begin,
would in all probability have gone great
lengths in the career of fame. The fact is,
that in order to do any thing in this world
worm doing we must not stand shivering
on tSs'sank, ard thinking of the cold and
the danger, but jump in, and scramble
through as well as we can. 1t will not do 10

SHAVING IN SPAiN.-An Irish gentleman
travelling through Spain, went into bar
ber's shop to get shaved. The man of foam
with great obsequiousness, placing his GUS
toner on the chair, commenced operations
by splitting on the soap and rubbing it over
the gentleman's face. 'Bood an 'ounds p
was the exclamation OF the Irishman-s'is
that the way you shave a gentleman w at
the same time preparing his wrath to ever
turn the wig minister.
"lrs the way we shave gentleman, Sc
nor"
"Then how do you shave poor man? 2"
"We spit on his face and rub the soap o.
yer that" was the Spaniard's reply.
"Och, then, if remember nothing OF
Spain but the one thing, it will be the Span
ish barbers distinction"
And SO saying, the Hibernian rose, paid
the demand. and departed.

Music OF THE PAcrlc-No one can be in
Monterey a single night, without being star
tied and awed by the deep, solemn crashes
OF the surf, as it breaks along the shore.
There is no continuous roar of the plunging
waves, as we hear on the Atlantic seaboard
the slow, regular swells-quick. pulsation of
the great Paci6e's heari-=ral- inward in un-
broken lines, and fall with Single grand
crashes with intervals of dead silence be-
tween.-They may be heard through the
day, if one listens, like solemn under tone
to all the shallow noises of the town but at
midnight, when all else are still, these sue
cessive shocks fall upon the ear with SEN
sation of inexpressble solemnity All the
air, from the pine forest to the sea, is filed
with light tremor, and the intermiting
beats of sounds are strong enough TO jar a
delicate ear. Their constant repetition at
last produces feeling something like terror.

ing sorrow, could scarcely bear the reverber-

The HOME OF TAsrE.-How easy it is to
be neat Ito be clean How easy to ar
range tie rooms with the most graceful pro-
priety! How easy it is TO invest our houses
with the truest elegance! Elegance resides
not with the upholsterer or the draper; it is
not in the mosaics, the carpe tings, the rose
wood, the mahogany, the candela5ra,. or the
marble ornaments, it exists in the spirit PIE
siding over the chambers Of the dwelling.
Contentment must always be most graceful
it sheds serenity over the scene of its abode;
it transforms waste into garden. The
home lighted by these limitations of a no.
bier and brighter life may be wanting in
much which the discontented desire but to
its inhabitants it will be palace, fai outviw-
ing the oriental in brillianoy and glory.
