to enter into the kingdom of heaven, not
on stands upon sacred authority, but is
confirmed by all human reasoning. For,
what kingdom of heaven can there posi-
bly, be, from which love and sympathy,
and the tenderness of common brotherhood
are excluded and the man who boards
superfluous wealth while there is famishing
in the next street the man who levels in
luxuries while the houseless and breadless
are driven from his door; the man who,
though an ostentation of literature, walls
himself in with libraries which he cannot
read, while thousands of children around
him are destitute even Of school books
the very seed wheat of knowledge such
a man has no love, nor sympathy, nor
feeling of brotherhood for his race and,
therefore, 90 where he will, the kingdom
of heaven must be .h:s antipode. One
point in the circumference of revolving
wheel may as well attempt to overtake the
opposite point, as he to reach that king
dom. The casting off Of his loved bur-
dens will alone give him the agility to at
tain it,"
"When he has acquired that golden
mean of property, which carries its pos
SCISSOR out of the temptations of want, with
out carrying him into the temptations of
wealth and which, as a patrimony for
his children, will nourish, and not blast
the vigor that is in them, he leaves the
money-making treadmill, and betakes him
self to some walk Of public usefulness most
congenial to his taste either to adorn lit
erature by his genius, or to advance sci
ence by his studies, or to organize charl-
ties for supplying the privations OF sense
or relieving the loss of sanity, or,to COM
bine and strengthen the conservative forces
of civilization or to combat, hand to hand,
with some of those terrific monsters that
infest society-ignorance, bigotry, intem-
perance, slavery, or war-which need some
hunter mightier than Nimrod for their ex-
tirpation. Or, if he still c, c,ntinues to
gather in the golden harvests of wealth,
he opens set of books with heaven, be-
coming the Lords steward for mems re-
demption from suffering and crime"

Eternity.
by JAMES LAME NICHOLSON

Thou reigned ere God gave Nature birth,
Ere He created this stupendous earth,
Ere oceans rolled, ere skies were known,
Ere orbs revolved around His throne.
What mysteries are concealed in thee,
Thou antipodc Of Mortality!
What everlasting woe, immortal bliss,
Unknown chaoses fathomless,
Invisible elements; Immortality's womb;
The paths of God and Natures tomb;
IIelPs torrid zone Heavens balmy cline;
Unknown prodigies wrought sublime!
Primcval beings thou dost contain
The nurse Of Time, Oblivion main.
Thou'lt gulp the stars, yea the regal sun,
When thy guests proclaim their race is run.
Man shrinks to thee each passing hour,
His soul thou draw'st with mighty power
His destination s found in thee,
Endless, boundless, Eternity.
Westerly, April 10.
