has spread its tents In the valley Of the
Checanqua. Sitting in my little rock
ing chair after the blowing ofthe trum-
pet, the shouting and the noise Of the
camp thereof, I am thinking that camp
meetings are not the means of saliva
ton to the sons and daughters of Ad-
am, now at least. 1t might be when
man lived in patriarchal simplicity that
the s'groves were God frsttemples-"
In them the dewy incense of flowers,
the singing of birds from tree top to
mountain peak, helped him in his sim
pier nature to adore that Being, whom,
he so imperfectly understood. But
now when the celestial journey is so
distinctly marked out; when you know
just how much good you need to keep
your passport vised for St. Peters
gate; when you can cheat your broth
er, and lie to your sister every day in
the week, and then go to church that
you have help build from that ''capital
trade, the next Sunday, it is hardly
worth while to catch cold by sleeping
in leaky tents, so as to be in communion
with Nature, and through her look up
to Natures God.

black bugs in d spoiled bacon ham, and

skiting about the streets ike Eeazels
in barnyard-whare they hev cream
cOlOred horses, gilded kerridges, and
sugar in everything-whare honest
men are scarcer nor hens teeth, and
strange woman once took in your be-
loved preeeher and bamboozled him
out Of two hundred and twenty-seven

tail, but she can't do it again, Hallelu-
jah! fur "they shiIl gnaw file and fee
unto the mountains of Hepzidam,
WHARF the lion roareth aud the Whang-
doodle mourneth for its frst-born."
My breethering, I'm capting Of that
fat boat you see up thare, and I've got
aboard of her -four and bacon and po-
taters and apples, and as good Monon-
gahaly whisky as you ever drinked,
but oh, my breethering, what would it
all be worth to me eff l hadn't relidgin?
Thare amt nothing like relidgin,
my breethering. Is better nor silver
and gold and jimcracks, and you can't
no more git to heaven without it than
a jay bird can fly without tail. Thank
the Lord, I'm an unedicated man, my
breethering, but I've searched the
Seripturs from Dan to Bursheeby, anC
found old Zion right side up and the
hard-shell relidgin the best of all re
lidgins. And it's not like the Meth
dis what expects to git to heaven BY
hollerin hell-fre, nor the United Breeth
ering what takes each other by tht
seats of their trowsers and tries to lif
each other into heaven, nor the Cath
erlicks what buys through tickets iron
thare preests, but it may be likened
my breethering, to man what had t
cross a river, and when he got thar
the ferry-boat was gone, and he jes
rolledup his breeches and waded across
hallelujah fur ''they shiIl gnaw fl
and flee unto the mountains of Her
zidam, WHARF the lion roareth and tn
whang-doodle mourneth fur It's frs
born"
Pass the hat, brother Flint, and Il
every hard shell shell out. Amen!

Immortality.

How beautiful the following gem
from the pen of Prentice, and how hap
py the heart that can see these beau
ties as he portrsys them:
"Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with beauty that
is not of earth and then pass away, and
leave us to muse on their faded lowell
ness? Why is it that the stars, which
hold their festival around the midnight
throne, are placed above the reach of
our limited faculties, forever mocking
US with their unapproachable glory ?
And why is it that bright forms of hu-
man beauty are presented to our view,
and then taken from US, leaving the
thousand streams of affection to flow
back in Alpine torrents upon our heart?
We are born for higher destiny than
that of earth. There is realm where
the rainbow never fades, where the
stars viii be set out before US like is
that slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful being that passes before
US like a meteor, viii stay in our pres
ence forever"

A Continental Story.

A woman employed as housekeeper
to the Chateau of London, near this
city, recently inherited sum of 800
francs. A peasant employed to take
care of the grounds of the chateau,
hearing of her good fortune, determin-
ed to possess himself of the money!
Accordingly few nights ago-the
owner of the chateau and all the ser
wants being absent-he got the woman
on some pretext to visit him at a room
which he occupied in one of the depen-
denotes of the chateau. After a while
he locked the door, and with the most
dreadful threats, declared he would
murder her, unless she would at once
give him the 800 francs. The woman
being seriously alarmed, took him to
her chamber and gave him the money.
The man then declared that he must
murder her to prevent her from accus-
ing him, and he summoned her to say
what kind Of death she would prefer
The poor woman prayed for mercy, but
he peremptorily told her she must
either die by the rope or the knife, ant
she at last selectedhanging. The mar

The Hand that Saves US.

Two painters were employed to fres
co the walls of cathedral. Both stood
on rude scafOlding, constructed for
the purpose, some forty feet from the
floor. One of them was so intent up
on his work that he became wholly alb
sorbed, and, in admiration, stood off
from the picture, gazing at it with in
tense delight.
Forgetting where he was, he moved
back slowly, surveying critically the
work of his pencil, until he neared the
edge of the plank on which he stood.
At this critical moment his companion
turned suddenly, and, almost paralyzed
with horror, beheld his imminent peril;
another instant, and the enthusiast
would be precipitated upon the pave
ment beneath. If he spoke to him, it
was certain death; if he held his peace,
death was equally sure. Suddenly he
regained his presence of mind, and
seizing a wet brush flung it against the
wall, scattering the picture with un-
slightly blotches of coloring.
The painter flew forward, aud turn
ed upon his friend with fierce upbraid-
ings; but startled at his CHASTITY face,
he listened to his recital of danger,
looked shuddering at the dreaded space
below, and with tears of gratitude he
blessed the hand that had saved him.
Just so, we sometimes get absorbed
upon the pictures Of the world; and, in
contemplating them, step backward,
unconscious Of our peril, when the Al
mighty in mercy dashes out the beau
tiful images, and draws us, at the time
we are complaining of His dealings, in
to his outstretched arms of compassion
and love.
