OF social converse seem ru .c, and the
smile OF pleasure uniting; places
where friendships hands have lin.
gerel in each other, where vows have
been pIighe ed, prayers offered, and
tears of parting shed. Oh, how the
hover around such places
and travel back through unneasured
space to visit them. But OF all the
spots on this green earth, none is SC
sacred as where rests, waiting the
resurrection, those we once loved and
cherished-our brothers, our child
rem. Hence, in all ages, the better
part of mankind have had chosen
and loved spots for the burial o
dead. and on these spots they have
loved to wander at eventide, to med.
itate and weep. But of all the
places, even among the charne
houses OF the dead, none is so sacreC
rs a mothers grave.
There sleeps the nurse Of our in

counsellor of our ripper years-oul

whose heart was stranger to every
other feeling but love, and who coulC
always find excuses for us when we
could find none for ourselves
There she sleeps and we love the
very earth for her sake. With sen

Scripture Difficulties.

The liberty Of man, and the fore
knowledge and providence Of God,
are equally certain, although the
proof Of each rests on different prin-
ciples. Now when two distinct pro-
positions are separately proveds each
by its proper evidence, it is not a
reason for denying either, that the
human mind, upon the first hasty
view, imagines repugnance, and
may, perhaps, find difficulty in
connecting them, even after the dis
tinct proof Of each is clearly per-
ceived and understood. There is
a wide difference between a paradox
and a contradiction. All intellect
to which nothing should be paradox
ical would be infinite. Bishop
Horsely.
