BE CoMpREHENsIvE.-Talk to the point
and stop when you reach it. The faculty
some possess of making one idea cover a
quire of paper, is not good for much. BE
comprehensive in all you say or write. To
fill a volume upon nothing is credit to
nobody, though Lord Chesterfield wrote a
very clever pocmupon nothing.
There are men who get one idea into
their head and they make the most of it.
You can see it and almost feel it, when in
their presence. On all occasions it is pro-
duced, till it is worn as thin as charity
They remind us of "a twenty-four FOUNDER
discharged at hummiDg bird. You hear
tremendous noise, see volume of ofsmoke,
but YOU look in vain for the effects. The
bird is scattered to atoms.
Just so with the idea. 1t is cnveloped
i'll cloud, and lost amid the rumbllngS OF
words and fourishcs. Short letters, ser-
mons, speeches, and paragraphs, are favor
ties with us. Commend US to the young
man who wrote to his father, "Dear Sir, |
am going to lie married." and also to the
old gentleman, who replied, Dear Son, 50
ahead"
Such are the men for action, they dc
more than they say. The half is not told
in their cases They are worth thcil
weightin gold for every purpose in life
Reader, be short; andwc will be short with
the advice.

BEAUTY.--There is something in beau

in the pcnciled leaves of flowers, the
sparkling surface Of the sparkling foun-
tain, or that aspect which breathes over its
state, that makes us mourn its ruin. |
should rot envy that man his feelings who
could see leaf wither or flower fall
without slight tribute of regret. This
tender interest is the beauty OF becoming
grief and affection, for Nature in adversi
ty never deserts us. She comes more near
uSin our sorrows, and lealing us away
from the paths of disappointment and pain
into her soothing rccesscs, allays the an
guish of our bleeding hearts, bindsup tn,
wounds that are inflicted, whispers the
meek pledges of better hope, and ii
harmony with spirit of still hOlier birth
points to that home where decay and deatl
can never come.

Times Of Trouble.

Times of trouble are times Of honesty.
Then men are without art. The prevail
ing temper of the spirit is developed
The lover of the world for relief. The
lover of God to God. When the heart
most feels its weakness and dependence,
then it yoarns most sensibly after that in
which it trusts. And never does it feel
its weakness and dependence more than in
the days of tribulation. If, now, it is true
that Affections work together for good to
them that love God, and it is true that
special intercourse with God, and special
comforts, are-to such-the sure fruits Of
Affections, then it is plain that they who
experience them do not love Him.
Does a man in the hour of sorrow be-
take himself to the throne of grace? Does
he throw himself upon God with the spirit
of sorrowing, affectionate truStful child?
Does he find that the hour of trouble is an
hour when he criez, abba Father with
unwontcd emotionS Wheuhis soul seems
melted within him by the lively terror of
his secret communion. Does he thus grow
in grace?
Docs he find that there is an unseen
arm buoying him up amid the billOws3
that there is soothing balm upon bis
wounds' that there seems to be another
fountainopencd within him of peace and
quictncss mingled with the fountain of
his grief? Does he6nd that the secret
of the almighty is with him?' and the wit
ness of the spirit? and concord of tho'ts
and feelings and Affections blending them,
selves with the deCress and allotments Of
God? Does he thus find comforts from
God?
Surely there must be a medium of CON-
munication, bond of union, between him
and God, which cannot exist without love.

make me turn with sick staste from

For months. ever since our marriage,
AieIisand had s;riven to lead purely
childish, common place existence, es-
chewing all stirring events and strong
aasaoss, mixmg little in society, and

sociaiions beyond the moment.

since German was riding along Sar.
some street near Sacramento, when he
heard pistol shot behind him, heard the
whizzing of ball near his head, and felt
his hat shaken. He turned about and
saw man with revolver in his hand
and took off his hat and found fresh
bullet hole through it. ''Did you shoot
at me :" asked the German. eyes"
replied the other party "that's nv
horse it was stolen from me not long
since" You must be mistaken saws
the German, 81 have owned tho horse

na- Among the most beautiful of ma
ture's beautiful workmanship, are night
and morning; complicate and diversi-
fed in their effects, yet simple in their
manufacture. What an ado would men
make, the best of them-had they the
recipe and right to make such piece of
work as genuine summer morning;
such an array OF furnaces and crucibles,
Of scene painters and gilders-such
clatter of hammers and explosion of
chemicles, sHd roaring of furnaces and
rustling of curtains, and opening and
closing of doors And then what q
parade there would be, to let "the rest
of mankind know twas 'doing'-what
a flourish of trumpets and rolling of
drums, to let them know twas done.
