The following impressive passage
is from Mr.. Mears' late work on the
Bible and the Workshop:
And what, after q life of toll, can be
more soothing to the overtasked wor.
king man than the hope he is permit
ted 70 indulge Of rest and refreshment
in heaven9 The prospect Of that re-
pose, under the smile of reconciled
God, like river Of peace eternally
flowing through his soul, may be cher
ished by the Christian working man.
Doubtless the successful artisan,
whose abilities and diligence the
world has acknowledged; who has ris-
en- TO comprehend the highest bearings
of his craft; accomplished something
material for his advancement; and
who, not being compelled to extract
from it, day by day, asmeager subsis-
tence, is thereby enabled to cherish
some enthusiasm in il: he doubtless
may prefer to contemplate heaven as
rather vaster theater, where, under
the headings Of more spiritual motives
and plans, he may with still greater
zeal pursue the earthly calling. But
the jaded working-man, whose hopes
of advancement have been disappoin-
ted, and whose pursuits, despite the
leavening influence of piety, will be-
come a drudgery, finds in the image
of heaven, as aplace Of eternal rest,
the source Of his deepest consolation
There the wicked cease from troub-
ling, and the weary areatrest.' There
the prisoners rest together; they hear
not the voice of the oppressor and
the servant is free from his master.
There remaineth there a rest unto the
people of God And / heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from the Ia
bors; and their works do follow them.

WOMAN.

As the dove will clap It's wings TO
its side and cover and conceal the ar
row that is preying on its vitals, so it
is the nature of woman TO hide from
the world the pangs of wounded affec-
ton. With her the desire Of the
heart has failed. The great charm OF
existence is at an end. She neglects
all the cheerful exercises that gladden.
the spirits, quicken the pulse, and
send the tide Of life in healthful cur
rents through the veins. Her rest is
broken, the sweet refreshmcnt Of
sleep poisoned by melancholy dreams,
"dry sorrows drink her blood" until
her feeble franc shrinks under the
last external assailant. Look for her
after little while. and you find friend
ship weeping overhe untimely grave,
and wondering that one who but late
ly glowcd with oil the radiance Of
health and beauty should now be brot
down to darkness and the worm"
You will be told Of some wintry chill,
some slight indisposition, that laid
her low; but no one knows the men
tai malady that previously sapped her
strength, and made her 80 easy prey
TO the spoiler.- Washington irping.

We learn from . private note, that the

War 10 needed to elevate the soul
Is, not that man should know all that has
been thought and written In regard 10
the spiritual nature, not that man
should become an Encyclopedia, but
that the great IDEAS In which all dis.

sciences which the philosopher extracts
from infinite details. may be eompre-

but the quality Of knowledge. which

with little knoledge has yet seized on

the Fathers, in the history of sects; nor
is this needful. All theology, scattered
as it is through countless volumes, 4, 10

this idea shine bright and clear in the
laborer's soul, and he has the essence Of
theological libraries, and q far higher
light than has visited thousands OF re-
nowned divines. A great mind is form
