The Painting Soul.

GAS the heart panteth after the water brooks, so
panteth my soul after thee, o God" To mere
speculative believer in Christianity, this language
may appear extravagant, but it is portion of the
inspired word. The Holy Spirit never exagger-
ates There is such thing as painting after God
1t is a state of mind which every Christian should
experience.
The painting soul is one which longs with intense
desire fer communion with God The Christian
should be content with nothing short of this in
tense desire. 1t is not faGatical, but most
err, when separated from those dearer to him than
life is not content with making them the subject
of occasional thought and of transient desires He
would feel that he was an unworthy husband and
father, if his heart did not burn with an intense
desire to be restored to their society. Much more
should the Christian cherish an intense desire to
commune with his Heavenly Father. That Faith
er is the All-perfect. That Father loves him with
a love which no human calculus can estimate Tine
Holy Spirit does not attempt to describe the vast
ness of that love- ''God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whatsoever
believeth on him might not perish, but have ev-
erlasting life" He has called him with an effec-
tual calling. He has borne with his ingratiude
and perverseness. He has crowned his days with
loving kindness and tender merces Infinite iu-
trinsic loneliness and infinite loving kindness TO-
wards him should call forth his supreme affection,
and awaken an intense desire for conformity to his
image. and intimate communion with him.
MANY Christians desire TO walk more worthy of
their vocation They desire TO set a better ex-
annie, to have stronger faith, and clearer evil
dence of their adoption, This is WELL but it is
NOT panting after Cod God is the true portion
Of the soul. God is the fountain of holiness Eel
Iowsbip with him should be desired above every
thing else.
Many wearied with the tolls and cares of earth,
and gr0aning beneath the body of sin and death
desire the rest of heaven. They can say, that
had the wings of dove that / might fly away and
be at rest but they cannot say, "as the hart PAN
teth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee o God"
MANY desire the coming of Christs kingdom;
desire. and make efforts to promote the salvation
of sonls This comes short of painting after God
and his holiness. Christians ought to desire the
salvation of souls with great intensity, but their
desires towards God ought to have still greater in
tensity
Reader. does your soul pant after God Is he
the object of your chief desire? Thank God for
the nledge of eternal glory which you have in that
desire, That desire shall be gratifed in prefer
ence to oil Others. He whose soul pants after God,
shall assuredly have Him for his portion, for time
and for eternity

zoologist can assign him bis rank at the head of
animate creation but how is the psychologist baf-
fled, when he attempts to unravel the wonders of
his spiritual powers and the theolOgician when he
looks into the depths of his moral and immortal
nature! And did it demand no miracle to bring
such being upon the stage and fit him exactly to
his condition. What greater miracle does even
revelation disclose +? Admit, if you choose, that
all other events on the globe, even the creation Of
all other organic beings, might have been accom-
pished By ordinary laws; yet 50 long as the great
fact OF mans creation stands out so conspicuously
on our worlds history, we need nothing more to
establish beyond cavi the reality Of Divine inter
position in nature. God has impressed his own
sgnet deeply upon this last act Of creation that
scepticism dare not directly attempt to deace it.
And this grandest miracle of nature is also the
greatest miracle ofrevelation. Itstauds upon Iof
W and immovabe rock amid the ocean of existence.
to arrest and beat back the waves of unbelef, and
to reflect the gories of Divine power and wisdom.

A SOUND CABLE-At meeting of the London
Tract Society, the Rev. n Hall said: "He con-
ceived that, among all religious parties there exs-
ted far too great disposition to exaggerate their
minor differences; but this society went forth in
all its publications with the simple tit!e-Chris-
tan. He conceived, too, that this Society had
done much to meet the pressing want, so often re-
ferred to of late years. OF books general subjects
written in religious spirit. In all the cables
made for the government, he had been told. there
was twisted particular thread, which enabled
any one to tell, no matter into how small pieces
the rope might be cut, whether it belonged to the
crown and so with the publications OF this soee-
ty a thread of gospel truth was interviewer with
them all, large or small and it was this which
gave them their true value; for the rudest sermon
with Christ in it, was better than the fin est phi
losophical essay from which Christ was el ;euded"

A DISCOURSE ON ARr.-The following beautiful
extract is from Discourse on Art, delivered by
the Hon. Horace P. Biddle, at the Melodeon Hall,
Lafayette, Indiana, on the occasion Of George
Winters annual distribution of oil paintings, Dec.
30, 1854:
"As nature, in all It's stupendOus greatness and
infinite variety is composed of a very few elements,
so is all the beauty and variety in Art formed by
a very few principles. Simply the line and curve
will account for every form and shape in Archi
lecture and Sculpture; and in painting, every ma
teral object in the universe be represented by only
three colors and their combinations Mankind has
been singing on the musical scale, which contains
but seven sounds, since the creation. and the
variety is still exhaustless and with few letters,
not exceeding eight different characters-for the
consonants are nothing but the vowel sounds, with
o peculiar beginning aud termination every pos
sible thought within the range Of intellect, and
every image and object in the ideal and material
world, may be represented by poetry. How few
the principles, how endless the variety, how vast
the domain of Art And nature herself in all
her works. is but the Art OF God. The heavens
are His architecture. His statuary is Man, form
ed in His own image Ills painting is on the earth
and in the sky the harmony Of the rolling spheres
s His music and His poetry IS universal ard eter-
nal praise"

But from its loss;
That is proverb; so is the pointed declara-
"All, all on earth is shadow all beyond

and still more unquestionabIe the following, for it
has long since passed into the common parance of
the world, in use among many people who know
not the name of its author:
"All men think all men mortal but themselves
What filter apologize to the conscience than this
imaginative line
"The spirit walks of every day deceased
An aspiration is hardly proverbial, or we would
instance the appeal to Lorenzo:
40 for yesterdays to come !"
OF the following there is no question it is de-
clarative, and fulfls every condition of prOverb
"LOve, and love only, is the loan for love;
Similar to this is the expression:
Hearts propretOrs of all applause"
So, too, the often-remarked creative efforts of
the imagination in enhancing the terrors of death.
"Man mlketh death which nature never made.r
1t is to Young, and not to Goldsmith, that we
should assign the sentence-they both have it, but
the latter borrowed it ..
"Man wants but little nor that little long,"
A proverb should be in one line but the priv
ilege may be extended to so fine saying as the
celebrated as -
"Earths highest station ends in Here he les
And dust TO dust concludes her nobest song"
1t would be well if some of those loudest in their
praises of Young, would bear in mind the follow

Solomon has been before Young with this:
"The man Of wisdom is tn man of years"
How often has the experience of the world
pointed the following
Death loves shining mark, signal blow"
There is a nobleness which cannot be too famil-
lar to US in this:
"0ur hearts meier bow but to superior WORTH

"Pgmes are pignies still though perched on Alps"
A great hero who acquired reputation some
years since by jumping off precipiees into rivers,
immortalized himself by an advance beyond the

There is also much virtue in the lines

you may hear anywhere, on change, in counting

These examples might be multiplied at will.

others, which, if not exactly proverbs, bear strong
family relationship to those tenacious dwellers in

QuNting Scrintnre.

A worthy deacon in the town of -, was re-
markable for the facility with which he quoted the
Scripture on all occasiOns.-The Divine Work was
ever at his tongues end and all the trivial as well
as important occurrences OF life furnished occasion
for quoting the language of the Bible. What is
better the exemplary man always made his quo
tations the standard Of action. One hot day he
was engaged in moving with his hired man, who
was leading off the deacon following in his swatb,
coming his apt quotations, when the man sudden
ly sprang from his place, leaving the swath just
in time to escape wasps nest.

deacon
"Wasps," was the laeonic reply.
"Pooh p said the deacon, ''the wicked fee when
no man pursueth, but the righteous are as bold as
a lion And taking the workmans swath, he
moved but step, when swarm of brisk insects
settled about his ears and be forced to retreat
with many painful sting, and in great discOm-
fture.
"AhT shouted the other with chuekle, "the
