Dignity Of PRAYER.

Consider the dignity of thus being adj
mitted into SO near converse with the hioi,-
est majesty. Were there nothing to fol-
low-no answer at all, prayer pays itself
in the excellency of its nature, and the
sweetness that the soul finds in it. Poor
fallen man, to be admitted into Heaven
while he is on earth, and there TO come
and speak his mind freely to the Lord of
heaven and earth as his friend, his alher /!
to empty all his complaints into bis bosom,
to refresh his soul in his God, wearied with
the follies and nliseries of tho wo. ID
Where there is anything of His love, this
is privilege of the highest sweetness, for
they that love find much delight to dis
course together, aud count all hours short,
and think the day runs too fast that Is 50
spent. And they that are much in this
exercise, the Lord docs inpart his secrets
much to them Leighton.

Man of lin to Every Creature

Prof. AGAss1z, in his preface to HuGH
MrLLER's great geological work "Foot-
prints Of the Creator" says:
at is a singular fact, which viii yet lead
to singular results, that Cuvier's arrange
ment of the four classes of vertebrate ami
M ais should exhibit the same order as that
in which they are found in the strata of
the earth. In the fish, the average pro-
portion of the brain to the spinal cord is
only as 2 to /. In the reptile, tie ratio
is al to 1. In the bird, it is as to L.
In the mamasalia, it is to /; and In man,
it is % to /. No less remarkable is the
fetal progress of the human brain. Il
first becomes a brain resembling fish
then i. grows into the form d that of a
reptile; then into that of bril- then in
to that of mammiferous quairuped, and
finally it assumes the form IF a human
brain, thus comprising in its total progress
an epitcme of geological history, as # man
were ia himself compendium Of all AMI
mated nature, and Of kin to every creature
that lives 81

A LOVERS PLEADrNG.-"When re-
call the stories of my friends" he passion
ately pleads, 81 could tell you volumes Of
tragedies. One loved maiden, and was
loved in return; but he was poor-she
was rich. Parents aid relations despised
him, and two hearts we're broken. Why
Because, it was thought a misfortune that
a lady's dress should be made front the
wool of plant in America rather THAI
from the fbeis of worm in China. An
other loved a maiden, and was loved in re-
turn; but he was Protestaut-she was a
Catholic. Mothers, priests disagreed, and
two hearts were broken. Why? Be-
cause, three centuries before, Charles the
Fifth, Francis the First, and Henry the
Eighth, played political game at chess.
A third loved maiden, and was loved in
return, but lie was noble-she was pie
bian. The sisters were jealous, and two
hearts were broken. Whys Because, a
hundred years ago, soldier slew another
who was threatening kings life in battle
He was rewarded with titles and honors,
aud his great grandson atones, with a
blighted life, for the blood which had
been shed by him. Each hour, says the
collector of statistics, some heart is bro
ken; and l believe it, Frazier's Maya
zine.

EThe Emporia (Kansas) News, a
neat-looking six column paper, started a
few weeks since, says of the emigration to
Kansas:
.sScarce day passes but long trains Of
wagons, filled with wife and little ones,
and furniture of the hardy pioneer pass
through this place. Many Of them push
on to the Walnut and Little Neosho, while
numbers go up or down the Neoslto or
Cottonwood, "setting their stakes" on
some vacant claims along those streams.
Next fall will witness such a covered
wagon" emigration into Kansas as WA
never before seen.
