Eggs.

An egg is one Of the most surprising pro-
ductions in the world. Suppose an egg were
put into the hand Of person who had never
known or heard Of such thing, and the ques-
ton were put to him to what good purpose
could it be applied? He would, of course,
ascertain what were its contents; and what
would he find them to be2 A glairy, colorless
liquid, surrounding another liquid Of an orange
or yellow color You might let him make
thousands of conjectures but could it ever en-
ter his mind that such substance would pro-
duce a sparrow, thrush, a swan, or an eagle?
But give him hint upon the subject: give
him an egg and let him know that it will bring
forth doVe oS After this advance in a knowi,
edge of the thing, put him in possession Of an
other egg. He may seedof course, that its color
and size are different from the one that pro-
duced the dove but the contents are exactly
similar, so far, at least as human perception
can ascertain and what would then be his
conjecture! Could his imagination ever con-
iure up, even in the brightest moments Of
inspired genius, the idea of a peacock2 Yet
the peacock, in all its glory of dazzling colors,
is the product of a little glairy fluid contained
in a capsule of chalk, and in no wise different
so far as we can perceive from that of the barn
door fowl. Has not the hand OF DIVINITY here
written, almost without metaphor, in letters
of gold, the wonders of its creative power ?
Look at single feather Of q peacock consider
that its shining metallic barbs, its superlatively
beautiful eye, and all the wonders it exhibits
of radiant, rich and changeable hues, accord
ing to the angle in which it lies to the light !;
that its form, its fexibiity, its strength, light
ness, and all its wonders (for in the eye of in
telligence every part of it is wonder) had
their origin in little mucilage and then con-
slider, whether, in looking on such an object,
we should be content with thinking no more
about it than simply, it is a peacocks feather.
Yet this is too much the practice above us
and below, on the right side and on the left in
every element, in every situation, the works Of o.
Almighty power are present, and all abound
ing in instruction Of the highest kind and that
they make not the impressions that they
should do upon us, is chiefly owing to the

Ethan, Allen.

"A good story is told of that old reprobate
Col. Ethan Allen, whose services to his country
in the times that tried mems souls,' were only
equalled by his daring assertions of the riphI
OF private opinion on theological matters. A
wel-known divine the pastor of the village
chu called one evening on the colonel, and
while enjoying his true New England hospi
talty, at the supper table the conversation
naturally turned upon church matters.
Quoth the minister, Colonel, how does il
happen that man of your extensive influence
ard information has never seen il to be his duty
4 lin our society," You know we want labor.
er N the vineyard ~ecially such laborers as
you. Your example would tend greatly tc
strengthen our hands and fortify our hearts
against the dire assaults of the evil one."
"Well, brother" replied Allen, {" have often
thought as you do about this business, and one
day 1 had almost made up my mind to fall into
the ranks, but that night had dream which
caused me forgive it up.n -. =, Z. i5, -
"And," exclaimed the minister, what did
you dream?"
"Well, thought was standing at the en-
trance of paradise, and saw man go up and
knock"
"Who's that" asked voice from within.
"a friend wishing admittance," was the re-
ply.
"The door was opened and the keeper
stepped out.
"Wcll, sir, what denomination did you be-
long to, down yonder?"
~ was an Episcopalian," replied the candi-
date for admttance.
"Go in, then, and take seat near the door
on the east side"
Just then another stepped up :he was Pres.
byterian, and the guardian directed him to a
seat A large number were admitted and re-
ceived directions where to seat themselves. !
then stepped up to the entrance.
Well, sir, what are you?" asked the guar
dian.
"Iam neither high-churcfman, Presbyterian
Lutheran, Calvinist, Catholic or Jew, but I an
that same old Ethan Allen that you probably
have heard of, from down below" .as
"What, the same man who took Ticonde-
roga?"
1.-The same," replied.
"All right, Ethan" said he, "just step in
and sit down wherever you please!"
