Religion is Beautiful.

Always! In the child, the maiden,
with the wife and mother, religion shines
a holy benignant beauty of It's own, which
nothing on earth can mar. Never yet
was the female character perfect without
the steady faith of plety. Beauty, intel
lect, wealth; they are like pitfalls, dark
in the brightest day, unless religion
throws her soft, beams around them, to pu-
rify and exalt, making twice glorious that
which seemed all loveliness before.
Religion is very beautiful-in health or
orsin sickness, wealth or poverty. We
never enter the sick chamber of the
good, but soft music seems to float on the
air, and the burden of the song is, $40
peace is here" Could we look into thou
sands of families to-day, where discomfort
sits fighting sullenly with life, we should
find the chief cause of unhappiness, want
of religion in women. And in felon's
cell-in places of crime, misery, desti-
tuition, ignorance-we should behold in
all its horrible deformity. the fruits of ir.
religion in woman. Oh religion! be-
nignant majesty! high on the throne thou
sittest, glorious and exalted. Not above
the clouds, for earth clouds never come
between thee and the truly pious soul-no
beneath the clouds, for above thee is hea
ven, opening through a broad vista Of ex
ceeding beauty. Its gate is the splendo1
of jasper and precious stones, white will
dewy light it neither flashes nor blazes
but steady proceedeth from the throne o
God. It's towers bathed in refulgent glo
ry ten times the brightness, of ten thou
sand sans, yet soft and undazzling to tn
eye.
And there religion points. Art tho
weary it whispers "rest-up there for
ever" Art thou sorrowing ''eterna
ioy." Art thou weighed down with un
merited ignomy "kings and priests i
that holy home" Art thou poor 18Th
very streets before thy mansion shall b
gold" Art thou friendly! angels shall b
thy companions, and God thy friend an
father. Is religion beautiful? We ar
swer all is desolation and deformity wher
religion is not.

Gently gave birth to four children, two

The two boys are connected at the

the boys: that they have but one arm
issuing from the junction of their shoul-

to the foot, the two legs ending in one
foot. In regard to the color of the chill

The Coliseum at Rome.

The Coliseum is one of the grandest
most magnificent ruins in the world.
1t is one of those rare buildings whose
reality surpasses any engraving. Every
body knows the form of it, but few can
rightly estimate its magnificent pro-
portions without seeing it. The seats
rose in terraces four stories high. In
fact, the height of the outer wall was one
hundred and ffty-seven feet. The area
was two hundred and fifty-seven feet
long by one hundred and eighty wide.-
Including the walls. the building measur-
ed six hundred and twenty feet by five
hundred and thirteen, being as usual,
elliptical. The material was the traver-
tine stone, in large blocks, with which
brick masonry is intermingled. The blocks
of stone were not cemented together, bu.
were kept in their places by iron pins
between each two blocks. The wallis have
all been defaced by holes made to get
out these iron pins or bolts. The work Of
destruction on this, as all the other ruins,
is arrested, and the present pope is doing
ali he can to preserve them.

sole ElrginnY Never Tire

The Wheeling Intelhgencer says -
We saw yesterday, going up towards the
upper ferry, team of four animals
horse, pony, a mule and bull. The
horse had the heaves, the pony was blind
the mule was lame, and the bull had no
provisions for fly time. In the wagon,
which was an ordinary one, there sat a
white man, crippled niger, and a tame
skunk, fraily bound with withe Of straw.
The white man held the lines, the team
held its own: and the nigger held the
skunk, and they all moved forward. To
mike this worthy of its place, it is essen
tial to say that it is true.
