The Mental Faculties.

1. The perceptive faculties are those by
which we become acquainted with the ex-
istence and qualities of the external world.
2. Consciousness is the faculty by which
we become cognizant ofthe operations of
our own minds.
8. Original suggestion is the faculty
which gives rise to Original ideas, occasion
ed by theperceptive faculties or conscious
ness.
a. Abstraction is the faculty by which.
from conceptions of individuals, we form
conceptions of general and species; or, in
general of classes.
5. Memory is the faculty by which we
retain and recall our knowledge of the
past.
6. Reason is that faculty by which, from
the use of the knowledge obtained by the
other faculties, we are enabled to proceed t.
other and original knowledge.
7. Imagination is that faculty by which,
from materials already existingin the mind
we form complicated conceptions or men
tai images, according to our own will.
8. Taste is that sensibility by which W
recognize the beauties and deformities c
nature or art, deriving pleasure from tn
one, and suffering pain from the other.

Alone at the Judgment.

There is no escape, alone, or in the
crowd at the judgment day. 1t is not a
multitude amid which we may hide our
selves and escape notice. AT that tribunal.
each man will be as transparent before the
searching eye Of the Son of God, as if that
man and Jesus were the only twain in the
whole universe, such will be the intense
light of that day. that one reason why the
lost will call out for the bills to cover them
and the mountains to overshadow them,
will be, that they can not bear the intensity
of that searching and unutterablesplendor;
and such will be the dread silence of that
moment, that each man will heari he very
pulsations ofhis own heart if that heart be
unregenerate, each pulse will sound death
knell to his hopes and prospects for ever.
There is no escape in the crowd; there Is no
escape by wealth; there is noescape by tai !.
ent, there is no escape any way; for "how,
if we neglect so great a salvation, ''says the
apostle, as satisfied that there is no escape
whatever, ':shali we escape"-[Dr. Cum
ming.

Prosperity and Adversely.

The virtue of prosperity is temperance;
the virtue ofadversity is fortitude. Pros
perity is the blessing of the Old Testament
adversely is the blessing of the New.which
carrieth the greater benediction and the
clearer revelation OF Gods favor. Yet,
even in the Old Testament, if you listen to
David's harp, you shall hear as many
hearse-like airs as csaols; and the pencil Of
the Holy Ghost hath slabored more in de-
scribing the Affections of Job than the fe-
licities of Solomon. Prosperity is not
without many fears and distastes; and ad-
versity is not without comforts and hopes.
We see in needleworks and embroideries
it is more pleasing to have lively work
upon sad and solemn ground; therefore
of the pleasure of the heart by the pleasure
of the eye. Certainly, virtue is like pre-
cious odors, most fragrant where they are
incensed or crushed; for prosperity doth
best discover vice, but adversely doth best
discover y;r.ue.-I0.d Bacon.

ACurious snake.

The eye-snake, so called from suppos-
ed habit it has of striking cattle in the eye
when grazing is without exception, the most
beautiful and least repulsive of snakes
1t is about four feet long, of the brightest
grass green; the intense green of an En-
glish meadow in early summer. 1t is very
thin and graceful in its movement, and al
though very rapid when moving, it is so
instantaneously rigid when alarmed, and
adapts itself so wonderfully to the shape
and hue of the grass or reeds among which
it moves, that although watching one in
tently at your very feet, it is most difficult
to discriminate between it and the vegeta-
ton with which it mingles.

SPEAK KINDLY.
By AUGUSTA MOORE.

Close your lips over it-let it not get
on its viel mission-that harsh, ungentle
word. Shut your teeth tighter as it strug-
giles for egress, for il is bent on mischief.
No doubt. tbs hard work TO master the
headstrong thing. A mouthful of unEnd
words is the veryhardest thing to swallow,
thalcan be thought Of; but It's far better to
swallow them. even at the great risk Of
choking in the act, than to spit them out.
Unlike other foul places, which may be
emptied and cleansed. the place where
hard words are nursed into life becomes
only the fuller Of them. the more they are
allowed to flow out. Let bat the first un-
kind word escape your lips, and there is no
telling where the eruption viii end.
All! if old and young would only live.
even half way. up TO the golden rule" or
to the precept Of that sweet song of child
hoods days
''Let love through all your actions run
And all yeur words be mild"
how much misery, how many bitter pangs
of suffering would be spared to ALL Pleas
ant words are perpetual sunshine; and
the sweet flowers of meadow and mountain
side may as well be expected to grow and
thrive when transplanted to cavern, as
the flowers and blossoms Of the soul, infu-
enced by this light and warmth, which
play over the countenance, ,and strike down
into the heart.
And pleasant words are cheap; smiles
are not costly. The giving of them does
notimpoverish; the face over which they
pass is not paler and sicklier, it is even
more beautiful and beloved. Plea SAINT
words enrich; for while they brighten and
cheer him to whom they are spoken, they
reflect gladness also on him who utters
them.
How much more blessed the life Of one
who is conscious Of having scattered smiles
and kind words about him than of the
harsh and morose man, whose words are
like the fabled toads and serpents. which
dropped from the lips of the selfish beauty
of old, and which caused mist and hor-
ror of great darkness wherever they fall.

CONSCIOUSNESS AND REvELAT1oN.-"Yo ou
remember the custom of ancient hospitali-
ty. Before parting with stranger, the
father of the family, breaking piece of
clay on which certain characters were i'm
pressed, gave one halfto the stranger, and
kept the other himself. Years after, these
two fragments, brought together and re-
Joined, acknowledged each other, SO TO
speak, formed bond of recognition be-
tween those presenting them, and in at
testing old relations, became at the same
time the basis of new. So in the book OF
our soul does the Divine Revelation unite
itself to the old traces there. Our soul
does not discover, but recognizes the
Truth. 1t infers that reunion (rencoun-
tire impossible to chance-impossible to
calculation-can only be the work and Sc
cret of God; and it is then only that we
beleve-then when the Gospel has for us
passed from the rank Of external to the
rank ofinternal truth, and, if | might say
so, of instinct-when it has become in us
part and parcel of our consciousness.

EARLY PIErY.-1t is storied of Hani-
bal that when he could have taken Rome,
he would not, and when he would have Ia
ken it. he could not. And is this not the
case with many? When they may find
Christ, they viii not seek him; and when
thew would seek Christ, they can not find
him. When they may have mercy, they
do not prize it; and when they would have
mercy, they can not obtain it. He that
in his youth reckons it too early to be con-
verted, shall in his old age find it too late
to be saved. NdtIew Mead.

A Catholic priestin Manchester. n. H.,
refused to baptize child, because its faith
er desired that its name should be Frank
lin. 1t sounded too much like an Ameri-
can, and too little like that Of a Catholic
Saint. So says the father in a letter to the
New York Evening Post.

EE Here is beautiful sentence from
the pen of Coleridge. Nothing can be
more eloquent, nothing more true:
Call not that man wretched who, what
ever else he suffers, as to pain inflicted or
pleasure denied, has child for whom he
hopes and on whom he doats. Poverty
may grind him to the dust, obscurity may
cast its dark mantle over him, his voice
may be unheeded by those among whom
he dwelIs and his face may be unknown by
his neghbors-even pain may rack his
Joints, and sleep flee from his pillow, but
he has gem with which he would not
part for the wealth defying computations,
for fame filling worlds ear, for the high
est stpowcr, for the'sweetest sleep that evel
fell on mortal 'seye.'

THE MAN WHO DAREs TO DO RIeHT.-
That man who can stand in the breach of
universal public censure, with all the fash
ions of opinion disgracing him, in the
thoughts Of the lockers on-with the tide
Of obloquy beating against his breast, and
the fingers of the mighty, combined many,
pointing him to scorn,-nay, with the fury
of the drunken rabble threatening him
with instant death,-and, worse than all,
having no present friend to whisper word
of defence or palliative in his behalf to the
revilers,--but bravely giving his naked
head to the storm. because he knows him
self to be vrtuous in his purpose: that
man shall come forth from the fiery ordeal
like tried gold. Philosophy shall embalm
his name in her richest unction. History
shall give him place on her bright
est page, and old, yea, hoary far off poster
ity Shall remember him as of yesterday!

A BEAUTIFUL CoMPLMENT.-D During
the recent illness of Jonathan Yale Clark,
ons of the Oldest and most esteemed citiz-
ems of Pitts6eld, poor old man came all
the way from the montain, and thrust his
head in at the door, and inquired of the
daughter in attendance:
sIs Yale Clark here?' "He is" els
he sick?" "He is. "Is he Very sick?''
"He is considered dangerous" Well, !
don't know who you be, but I Istopped to
tell ye, that you ought to lay him on cush-
ions of velvet, and take the best care Of
him during the rest of his days for his
kindness to the poor. ."-BostOn Traveller.
