The shortest Way.

Some twelve years ago Napoleon, Ind
was celebrated for two things, one fol
the carousing propensities Of its citizens
and the other for the great number Of
Cross roads in its vicinity. It appears
that an eastern collector had stopped al
Dayton to spend the night and gain
some information about his future
course. During the evening he became
acquainted with old drover, who appear
ed to be we'll posted as to the geography
Of the country, and the collector thought
he might as well inquire as regards the
best route to different points to which he
was destined.
Il wish to go to Greenfield said the
collector. now which will be my short
est way?'
We'll sir said the drover, you had
better 90 to Napoleon and take the road
leading nearly north
The traveller noted it down.
We'll sir, if 1 wish to go to Eding-
burg?'
Then go to Napoleon and take the
road leading west
well if I wish to 60 to Vermont
GO to Napoleon and take the road
southwest
sOr to Indianapolis p asked the eollec-
tor, eyeing the drover closely, and think
ing he was being imposed on
GO to Napoleon and take the road
northwest
The collector looked at his note book
every directiod had Napoleon on it;
and he began to feel his mettle rise,
and he turned once more to the droVer
with
Suppose my friend, wanted to 60
to help
The drover never smiled, but scratch
ed his head, and after . moments besi-
tation said
We'll, my dear sir, / don't know
of any shorter road ysu could take than
to 60 to Napoleon

Hope.

"I hope on-hope uver!" Thus spoke
one who had reached the peak of victo-
~. Storms had come upon him-shad-
ows dragged their burdens on his shoul-
ders, trials and vicissitudes assailed him;
but amid them all he kept his hope, aud
now, ere the middle watches was passed,
the angels had set their seal upon him,
and dropped upon his triumph-the
gloom was gone forever; and as he stood
with his feet secure, the sunshine from
the "Eden hills" fall around him far out
iu the valley of the future be saw her
fadelsss laurel trees" within whose
shades his evening damp should ebb
away, softly and gently as dream of
heaven.
"Hope on-hope everl'' this is the
true philosophy. If life is chilled by
passing woe, or dimmed by care, hope is
q song-bird in your heart, breathing
hymns continually. When Alexander,
as he was about to undertake his expe-
dition against Persia distributed the es-
tatcs of his crown among his country
men, he was asked what he had re-
served for himself? He answered
"Hope." So every soldier in life's bat
tle-feld should reserve his hope, for it
shall lead him on, no matter what oppo-
,es. to fame and conquest.
Brother, give up all else you have, if
you viii, but like Alexander, keep your
hope

The General Appearance Of the
Apostles.


| From st. Paul's expression, before
ALL" (Galations, ii, IA, it is evident thai
his rebuke of Peter took place on some
public occasion.
The scene, though slightly mentioned,
is one Of the most remarkable in sacred
history; and the mind naturally labors
to pictures to itself the appearance Of
the two men. It is therefore, at least,
allowable to mention here that general
notion of forms and features of the two
Apostoles which has been handed down
in tradition, and was represented by the
early artists. st Paul is set before us
as having the strongly marked and prom
inent features of the Jew, yet not with
out some of the finer lines Indicative of
Greek thought. His stature was dimin-
utive, and his body disfgured by some
lnmeness or distortion, which may have
provoked the comtemptious expression
of his enemies. His beard was long and
thin. His head was bald. The char
acteristics Of his face wore a transparent
complexion, which visibly betrayed the
quick changes of his fceling-a bright
gray eye, under thickly overhanging
united eyebrow cheerful and win
ming expression of countenance, which
ievited the approach, and inspire the
confidence Of strangers. It would be
natural to infer, from his continual jour-
neys and manual labor, that he was pos
sessed Of great strength of constitution.
But men of delicate health have often
gone through the greatest exertions !;
and his own words, on moro than one
occasion, show that he suffered much |
from bodily infrmty.
st. Peter is represented to us as q
man of larger and stronger form, as his |
character was harsher and more abrubt. |
The quick impulses of his soul revealed |
themselves in the flashes of dark eye.
The complexion of his face was full |
and sallow; and the short hair, which is
described as entirely gray at the time Of
bis death. curled black and thick round
his temples and his chin, when the two
apostles stood together at Antioch, twen-
~ years before their martyrdom. Be-
lieying, as We do, that these traditionary
pictures have some foundation in truth,
we gladly take them as helps to the i'm
And they certainly must
help rs realizing remarkable scene,
