LovE.-l.ove is the golden thread that
runs through the sombre hued wool Of life,
like single ray of light beaming ont on u
darksome midnight It Is "the one thing
bright" that makes life pleasant-the basis
Of all our enjoyments; and without il every.
thing void turn to bitterness and sorrow.-
1t is like oil upon the troubled waves of the
ocean; it aIlays our fiercer passions; it tram
qniIlizes us, aud makes us more humane
Yet there are some who sc0ff at it. You
may rest assured they are Doors. To them
is unknown the hottest and most ennobling
of emotion of which our nature is capable
and such persons we should rather pity than
desplse.

PHYSICAL ASPECT OF MAN.-An examina.
ton of twenty thousand infants at the Mater
mite, in Paris, gives for the weight of the new
born st lbs; the same mean value oblains for
the city Of Brussels. For about u week after
birth, this work undergoes an actual diminu-
ton, owing to the tissue destruction which
issues through the establishment of respira-
ton, and which for time exceeds the gain
from nutrition. For the same age, the male
infant is heavier than the female; but this
difference gradually dimnishes, and at IL
years their weight is sensibly the snme.-
Three years later, at the period of puberty, the
weight is one half Of what il is finally to b.,
when full development is revealed.
The maxlmum weight eventually attained
Is little more than twenty times that at
BIRTH this holding good for both sexes but
since the new born female weighs less than
the standard, and the new born male more, the
weight of the adult male is 1877 lbs, and of
the adult female l2l lbs. The mean weight
OF man, irrespective of his period OF life, is
above LOT lbs, and of n woman nearly "a lbs.
The mean weight Of u human being, without
reference either to age or sex, is about 80 lbs.
NJ. Quetelet, who furnished The above
statistics rs the result Of his researches, states
that communities seem to be under the influ
ence Of Interchangeable law MS much us the
individual. ain communities man commits
the same number Of murders each year, and
does ii with the same weapons. We might
eEnmerate, beforehand, how many individuals
will imbrue their hands in the blood Of their
kind, how many will forge, how many poison,
very nearly Ms we enumeratc, beforehand, how
many births and deaths will take place."

BRITISH PULPIT ELoQUNcE.-The London
Times expresses its opinion very plainly in
regard to the present character of English
preaching. Ii SAYS: awe would leave il to
the decision of any one of ordinary candor
intelligence, and education to say whether
men, in any other profession, could carry on
their business with success if they took no
more pains about the matter than an ordina.
ny preacher does in the composition and de-
livery of IN average sermon. The truth is,
that in.England pulpit eloquenco has fallen
to very low ebb indeed. With the finest
theme in the world before them, with all the
hopes and anxieties which agitatc the human
breast during the brief interval which sepa-
rates the cradle from the grave, as their sub.
jects, our preachers miss their opportunity.
