There is no moral object SO beautiful to me

fore him, but we know that his light is behind
him, and will beam forth again; the blaze of
others popularity outshines him, but we know
that, though unseen, he Eliminates his own
true sphere. He resists temptation, not
without struggle, for this is not virtue but
he resists and conquers: he bears the sarcasm
of the proAigate, and it stings him--for that
is trait of vrtue-but heals with his own
pure touch. He needs not the watchword of
fashion, if it leads to sin: the atheist-who
says, not only in his heart, but with his lips,
there is no God-controls him not; he sees
the hand of creating God, and rejoices in it.
Woman is sheltered by fond arms and
loving counsel old age is protracted by its
experience, and manhood by its strength; but
the young man stands amid the temptations
of the world like a self.balanced tower
Happy he who seeks and gains the prop Of
morality.
Onward, then, conscientious youth-raise
thy standard, and nerve myself for goodness.
If God has given thee intellectual power,
awake in that cause never let it be said OF
thee, ne helped to swell the river of sin by
pouring his influence into its channels. II
thou art feeble in mental strength, throw not
that drop into polluted current. Awake

Of virtue! 1t is difficult to be pure and holy
Put on thy strength, then. Let truth be the
lady of thy love-defend her.

Mo-" you say; and wonder why res
ident Of Vermont should ask uch oues-
tion. But is it not, though? Suppose a
hurricane blew down your fence on Saturday
night, and on Sunday morning, you, as all
good husbandmen should, take cursory
glance over your farm, and discover that the
COWS are eating your corn, the sheep are feed
ing on the choice, sweet shoots Of wheat, the
pigs reveling in the new-blown clover, should
you not put up that fence, even if it takes
you and your son and your servant, one half
of the holy day of rest? Who will answer
no? But you say, " turn the Aocks into some
other feld--shut them up, or leave boy in
the shade Of near maple tree, with his Sab
bath-School book, to watch them" Very
well; but surely, there is labor in all of
these. Suppose the threatening clouds pre-
vent your hay from drying on Friday, and
you cannot have sufficient time to take care
of it on Saturday, and on Sunday you see il
drying up, or that it will be wet and severely
injured for want OF few hours labor, shall
one look on and see it waste?

in an unsightly garment, or a rent in one
which would attract the whole vulgar gaze ?

A BEAUTIFUL CLASSICAL ALLUsIoN.-Mr
Winthrop, Of Massachusetts, in his late adj
dress at the Musical Festival in Boston, al.
ludes to the contemplated submarine tele-
graph in these words
On Christmas eve, in the year 1914 the
treaty of peace between England and the
United States was signed at Ghent,-a wor.
thy oommemoration of that blessed event
when the Herald Angels were heard singing
to the shepherds on the plains of Bethlehem
" Peace on earth, good will towards men"
But that treaty was not known on this side
OF the ocean for six or seven weeks after its
date. The great battle of New Orleans, as
you well know, was fought at least two weeks
after that treaty of peace was signed. Our
modern system Of railroads and steamers and
telegraphs might have saved that effusion Of
traternal blood-might have deprived indi-
vidual heroes--might have deprived our
country and its history-of all the glory which
belonged to that really great victory. If
that gigantic ocean harp, which is at this mo-
ment In process of being strung, whose deep
diapason is destined to produce more magi-
Cal music on the sea than mythology or mod
ern fable ever ascribed to SIREN mermaid, or
aerlon, II the mysterious gamut of that pro-
found submarine chord had been in successful
operation then, as we hope it soon will be-
between st, Johns and Valentia Bay, those
ccotton,bag ramparts at New Orleans nigh,
never have been celebrated in history; while
OF those who SO CALAMITY defended them
many would not have been laid so low, anC
some, perhaps, would hardly have risen 8,
