PEACE.

How beautiful is peace-at the home
hearth, in society, in the nation, and
over all the earthl Obliterator of feuds,
washer out of blood-stains, and uniter
of the worlds races in loving brother
hood! Six thousand Years-since Cain
smote his brother at the altar-the earth
has travelled with war, and in blood
The chief landmarks spared by the ages
have been trophies of ferocious con-
quest. Ruin and terror have swept over
hills, and valleys, and seas; and human
ity, born with so noble and glorious Wis
age, has walked a perturbed and terri
BILE spirit in this erst earth garden and
paradise of God. Peace, which should
have been the companion of man, and
the inspirer of beauty and joy, has only
flashed at brief and wide intervals
through the cloud and storm of earth 6
life. But it will mott cannot be for
ever thus! The war of humanity with
itself-its suicidal strife-its estrange-
ment from its original nature, and from
God, cannot always last. Eighteen
hundred years ago, one came upon the
earth, heralded by angels, who sang,
''Peace on earth and good will unto
men" And the prophecy of that song
must fully come to pass. The unnatu-
raj war among men, societies, and ma
tions must cease. Slowly, but certain
| ly, the cloud and tempest will roll back,
unveiling the clear and serene sky
and humanity, self-bound, like Promo
theus to his rock, will shake off the val
ture which tortures it to agony. Peace
will come to all the earth, for God has
sent token, and given promise of it
Then shall divine dove fly out from
the human ark, over the vide sea of the
worlds ruin, plucking fadoless olive
leaf, and the bow of promise shalta st
in the heavens, that the blood of wars
dcso1ation shall no more cover the
earth

NUMBER XVI.
Bob and Charley.

Bob and Charley grew side by side,
like two fine young saplings in wood,
for some years. After awhile, however,
the brothers were separated. Bob went
to a large city, became merchant, grew
rich, lived in fine house, was Bank
Director, and an Alderman. His young
er brother, pursuing a more modest but
equally manly and elevated career, sell
dom met Bob during some years, and
then only briefly at their fathers house,
when there was family gathering at
Thanksgiving, or some other similar
occasion.
Once, when [ chanced to see these
young men together, thus I remarked
that, while the sisters of each clung
around the neck ofthe unassuming, but
-harted, right-minded Charley, at
his coming, and lost no opportunity of
being with him, the repellent manner of
the elder brother held more or less aloof,
though none failed in polite observance
towards him. Egotistical and pomp-
Gus, he seemed to regard those about him
as an inferior race. AS his brother and

the rudeness to reach between us for

his brothers face as to almost touch It'll
There was more of shame than indigna-
ton expressed in that fine, ingenious
countenance, when it again met my un-
obstructed gaze and though detected
slight tremor in the sentence he ut
tered next in the order of our conversa-
ton.
Before my visit shat day was at end,
[ found myself exceedingly embarrass-
ed as an unwilling auditor of apolitical
discussion between Bob and his father
which grew, atlength, into an angry dis
pute, little creditable to least the young
er of the two word -combatants.
As stood in the hall that night,
awaiting my carriage, I saw Charley ad-
vance to the door of the library,
opening near, and knock lightly. The
voice of his aged father bade him enter.
Opening the door, the young man, tax
ing his hat quite off, and bowling almost
reverentially, said only, 81 bid you good
night, sir" and quietly closed itagain.
/ hen they turned towards me, there
was almost woman's softness. in eyes
that would have looked undimmed upon
the fercest foe or deadliestperil. Think
you the Recording Angel few up to
Heavens high Chancery with testa-
mony of that days deeds and words.
Once after this Charley had occasions
to visit the city where Bob resided
Breakfast over at his hotel, he sailed
forth to call on Bob, at his own house,
and attend, subsequently, to other mat
ters.
He was shown into an elegant draw
room, where the master of the man
sion sat reading newspaper. Without
rising, he offered his hand, coldly, and
before inviting his visitors to sit, took
occasion to say that his wife's having an
engagement to spend the day out of
town would prevent his inviting his
brother to dine!
As Charley descended the steps of his
brothers stately mansion; at the termin
alton of his brief call that day, he sill
emily registered VOW never again to
cross his threshold, unles impelled by
imperative duty. And yet Bob is not
only rich merchant, an Alderman, and
Bank Director, bu man Of fashion!
