The USEFUL AND THE BEAUTIFUL.-The
tomb..of Moses is unknown; but the traveller
slakes his thirst at the well of Jacob. The
gorgeous palace of the wisest and wealshiest
of monarchs, with the cedar, and gold, and ivo-
ry, and even the great temple of Jerusalem,
hallowed by the visible glory of the Deity him
sef-are gone; but Solomon's reservoirs are
as perfect as ever OF the ancient architec-
ture of the Holy City, not one stone is left up
on another; but the pool OF Bethesda com
mands the pilgrims reverence at the r-esent
day. The columns of Persepolus aro mould
ering into to dust; but its csterns and acque-
ducts remain to challenge our admiration
The golden house of Nero is a mass of ruins;
but the Aqua Claudia still pours into Rome
its limid stream. The temple of the sun at
Tadmor, in the wilderness, has fallen; but its
fountain sparkles as freshly in hisrays, as when
thousands of wershippers thronged its lofty
colonnades. 1t may be that London will share
the fate of Babylon, and nothing left to mark
its site save mounds of crnmbling brick work.
The Thames will continue to flow as it does
now. And if any work of art should still rise
over the deep ocean of time, we may well be-
lieve that it will neither be palace nor a tenn
pie, but some vast acqueduct or resivoir; and
if any name should sill flash through the mist
of antiquity it will probably be that of a man
who in his day sought the happiness of his
fellow men rather than their glory, and linked
his name to some great work of national utiIi-
ty and benevolence. This is the true glory
which oullives all others, and shines with un-
dying lustre from generation to generation =
imparting to works something of its own i'm
mortality, and in some degree rescuing them
from the ruin which overtakes the ordinary
monuments of historical tradition or mere mag

BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-Do trees talk? Have
they not leafy lungs-dO they not at sunrise,
when the winds blow, and the birds are car
oling their songs, play a sweet music? Who
has ever heard the soft whisper of the green
leaves in spring time, on sunny morning,who
did not feel as though rainbow CLEANS of glad
ness were running through his heart? And
then when the peach blossoms hang like ru-
bies from the stem of the parent tree-when
the morning glory, like a nun before the
shrine of God, unfolds her beautiful face,
and the moss-roses open their crimson lips,
sparkling with nectar that falls from heaven,
who does not bless his Maker
