Beautiful Ertract.-The annexed beautiful
lines are taken from Sir Humphrey Davy's Sal
monia:
envy no quality of the mind or intellect in
others, be it genius, power, wit or fancy; but if
could choose what would be most delightful,
and Ibelieve most useful to me- should prefer
firm religious belief to every other blessing,
for it makes me disciple of goodness, creates
new hopes when all earthly hopes vanish, and
throws over the decay, the destruction ofexist-
ence, the most gorgeous of all lights; awakens
life even in death; corruption and decay call up
beauty and divinity; makes an instrument Of
fortune, and scales the ladder of ascent to
Paradise, and far above all combinations of
earthly hordes, calls up the most delightful
visions palms and amarinths, the gardens of
the blest, the security ofeverlas'ng joys where
the sensuaist and the skeptic view only gloom,
decay, annihiation and despair.

Beautiful Pictures.-The man who stands

man as the lord of an inanima.e world Of
this great and wonderful sphere which, fashioned
by the hand of God and upheld by His power,
is rolling through the heavens, a part is his
his from the centre to the sky. 1t is the space
on which the generation before moved in its
round ofduties, and he feels himself connected
by a link with those who follow him, and to
whom he is to transmit home. Perhaps his
farm has come down to him from his father
They have gone to ther last home! but ho can

those to whom he owes his being. Some inter.

planted by his fathers hand. He sported in
boyhood beside the brook, which still winds
through the meadow. Through the field lies
the path to the yiilage>school Of earlier days.
He still hears from the window the voice of the
Sabbath bell which called his father to the
House Of God; and near at hand is the spot
where his parents are laid down to rest, and
where, when his time has come, he shall be laid
by his children; these are the feelings of the
owner of the soil. Words cannot paint them.
They flow out of the deepest fountains of the
heart; they are the life-spring of fresh, healthy,
and generous national character. Edward
