Brother Gruber.

Brother Gruber was Of an independent

thing for granted, simply because every
body else did He once took occasion to
refute, in his usual quaint style, the old
provcrb that +" Still waters run deep"
II used to shout aloud the praises OF
God, and contended that it was Spiritual
In answering the objections to shouting
he noticed this, "Still water runs deep II
"Not So" said he ,,stW aoater does not
run al all, for if it run it would not be
still. Furthermore, still water is not SO
pure as the water that runs 1t bccom-
es stagnant, slimy, and breeds tad-polos. u
He was a warm republican, and during
the revolutionary war, said in one of his
prayers Lord bless King George con.
vert him to Heaven we have had enough
and want no moro of him here e" The d"
Amen" to this prayer was unusually en-
phatic.
Another time, he assisted in divine ser.

- All the histories Of the Bible in

- I do not know any thing more hu.
initiating to man of common sense, then
to open what is called an illustrated
Bible Of modern days.
- Our habit of reducing the Psalms
to doggerel, before we will condesceud to
sing them, is a parallel abuse.
- The modern ideal of high art is a
curious mingling of the gracefulness and
reserve of the drawing-room with Ger.
tain measure Of classical sensuality.'
From Dannaekcr's Ariadpe down to
the amorous shepherd and shepherdess
in China on the drawiag-room time-pisco,
how far the charm of the art does indeed
depend on some appeal to the inferior
passions.
- The shallow spectator (ofthc beau.
ty of the Apollo Belvidere or Venus do
Medici.) delighted that he can really, and
without hypocrisy, admire what required
much thought to produce. supposes him
self endowed with the highest critical
faculties, and easily let's himself be- car.

which when al is said, if they be accurate-
" examined. will be found to mean
nothing more than that the figure has got
handsome calves to It's legs,and straight

- Physical beauty is indeed a noble
thing when seen in its perfectness but
the manner in which the moderus pursue
their ideal prevents their ever really

When such artists look at a. face
they do not give it tie attention necessu.

- The theory that beauty is merely
the result Of custom, was very common
in Johnson's time. Goldsmith has,
expressed it with moro force aud wit,
tnan any other writer, in various pass,
ages Of the Citizen of the World. And
il was, indeed a curious retribution Of
the folly of the world Of art, which for
some three centuries had given itselfreck'
lessiy to the pursuit of beauty, that at
last it should be led to deny the very ex.
istcnce of what it had so morbidly and
passionately sought 1t was as if a child
should leave its home to pursue ths
rainbow, aud then, breathless and hops

Our fair broadempire, state with state.
And deep the gladness Of the hour
When the auspicious task was done:
In solemn trust, the sword of power
Was given to glory's spotless sor.

So strongly forged are brighter yet.
