The Image of Christ.

The image of Christ, drawn by the pencil
of the Spirit, to which Scripture directs cur
aims, is painted in such colors, that it is I'M
possible often to contemplate it without its IT.
resistably affecting the heart. AS the bodily
eye that has looked long at the sun retains
bright image of it, so the spiritual eye that
gazes steadfastly on the face of Oh ist is filled
with light. We carry this image with US
wherever we 90, and it blends with all our
thoughts and actions. 1t n,ver ceases to be

beautiful as we gaze upon it. revealing ia

version, as it is in spring, when the sun melts

deepest valleys patches o. it still remain. So
the rays Of the spiritual sun may penetrate
our souls, and still there remain in each heart
heights and depths, where yet all is cold and

himself up to the discipline of Scripture.
The longer we contemplate Christ. the
more do we discover how unlike him we are,
how sefshness has penetrated our inmost ma
ture, how poor We are in humility, in love.
When we enter this school of discipline, it
does not seem So This beholding ourselves
in the image Of Christ has the popularity,
that whilst we more and more discover the
darkness in us, upon us all the while nncon-
scious it is pouring its light. Paul has ex-
pressed this in a particularly rich passage in
his letter to the Corinthians. He says, ." But
we all, with open face, beholding as in a
glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same from glory to glory, even as by the
Spirit Of the Lord" A wonderfully rich say
ing, indeed. Just as when we behold our
selves in a metallic mirror, he would say, it
spreads over us its own effulgence; SO we
Christians, looking with unveiled face at
Christ, as into mirror Of humanity, are
adorned with his light, made partakers Of
his spirit, changed as from glory to glory
into the same resplendent Tholuck.

Water...Its Beautifying Power.

Water, an element necessary to the susten-
tation of animal and vegetable life, is beau
tiful in all its forms. The benefcent Creator,
in giving US boon so cheering and vivify-
ing, has not only made its use pleasurable,
but has so varied the mode in which it is
presented, that not the palate alone, but the
eye, the ear, the touch are gratifed.
From the mountain spring that gushes
pure as air, beneath the overhanging rock, to
the illinlitable ocean; from the dew-drops
sparkling on the rose, and the gobule Of
mercurial color resting in the hollow OF a
cabbage leaf, to the brilliant spray pouring
over the summit edge of marble fountain,
all is grace, all has the inimitabe touch of
heavens finger upon it.
Every little meadow rivulct mirrors its
bending grassfower by day, and its glittcring
star by night. In the long sweep of an ex-
pansiVe river. the green islcts that seem to
float upon its CLASSY surface are pictueed in
wavy lines and tender tints below. Pebbles
enshrined in running brooks, to the admiring
eyes of children glow like gems, and are
gathered by little hands as treasures worthy
the cabinet of kings The sea-wave beating
with incessant repetition on the hard sandy
shore of the bay; the white sail floating
swan-ike at a distance, giving its softened
reflection below its darkcned shadow to the
expanse beneath; the sparkling star-ike
points playing together, that a morning sun
in winter aw kes into brilancy upon the
breast of some neighboring pool Or lake,
flashing in and out, fainting, reviving, inter-
mingling, darling, quivering like living things
in the hey-day Of enjoyment, illustrate the
identifying power Of water, and thus magnify
the handiwork of God.
Let those who lift the pure draught to their
lips from the cool natural fountain, the city
hydrant or the village pump, bless Him who
created the healthful fluid, and remember the
fainting traveller on the desert, and be content
How many blessings congregate, how many
exquisite forms, how many holy associations
in that one word-WATER. The preparation
of our food, tho heightened beauty of our
landscapes, and the baptismal font
The Clouds towering into snow mounds,
piled one upon another in the evening sky ;
the gloomy gathering of dark shadows over
the western horizon portending a storm, and
anon coming down in heavy and continuous
rain; the beautiful frost-work Of winter cur
rescating the waterfall into forests, towers,
and palaces glittering with gems; the icicle
hanging from our caves; the string of dia-
monds pendant from the fairy finger that dec
crates the edges of a blade of summer
grass, all proclaim the praises of that
creating fiat that pronounced all things to lie

A Mosr EXCELLENT Thing IN WOMAN
There is one part of womans education
often forgotten Or neglected--the culture and
formation of gentle voice. 1t is a great
gift of nature, to be aided by culture-an
instrument of powerful influence for good |
speak not of singing hymns now, and the cul-
ture of harmony and musical purposes, though
these tend to Gods praise, or to give inno-
cent amusement; but this gentle voice will be
able to guide and persuade to good the manly
heart of faithful husband, will mitigate
sorrow. lessen trial, and speak of hope and
joy to her dearest friends and connections in
accents at once powerful and pleasing. Let
US then be careful in our schools to cultivate
this most valuable requirement. How differ
ent, in all respects, to a family, for friends
and nelghbors, are the kind, gentle, persua-
slve accents have described, from sounds we
sometimes (alas too often) hear in the close
abodes of poverty and trial--high, harsh,
female treble tones Of bitter import, scolding
and approaching and driving away from the
hearth and home (perhaps to sorrow and to
sin) the husband and the children.

Our Social Uirrle.
Formally.
Written rof the Green Mountain Freeman.


Many persons doubt the expediency and
advantages Of Formally. They advance the
doctrine and endeayor to sustain it, that
Formally tends to restrain and deprive them
Of their liberties, and therefore is of no ad.
vantage.
VIVA is Formality We consider it to
be order, and who doubts the expediency of
this? 1t is desirable in everything as well
as necessary. 1t forms one of the strong
barriers against misfortune in the business
man. 1t gives a creditable appearance and
great advantages to the teacher and scholar
1t renders Society desirable, and offers in
ducements for the educated and refined to
mingle in the same. In this view it will be
seen that Formally is Of great Importance
and advantage.
But it is in Society where Formality is the
most appreciated and desired. If certain
forms are observed, it gives an air of refine
ment to the observer but if not, it places him
in an awkward pasition and makes his situa-
tion truly embarrassing and unfortunate.
Some may ask, what is Society that we
should obey its forms? To this inquiry
would say, it is one Of the greatest and most
important of our Institutions. 1t keeps
community respectable, if it is the right So
ciety. 1t drives away those awkward and
vulgar habits which 50 mark the uncivilized,
and it makes man higher ia the scale of inn
provement But it cannot be pure and exert
good Influence unless those forms are Oh
served which now distinguish Society. II
Society is good, it exerts good influence
if it is bad it excrts a bad influence. Con.
sidering this. we should strive to make Socie-
ty good and render it desirable.
How shall we .accomplish this? We can
do it by observing those forms, rules
which we find in good Society. If we dc
not have certain established forms in Society
what il the result? We should have dis.
parity of opinions, no tgo observing he same
thus creating disorder and diminishing the
benefits which arise from ningling in Society
Finally, we conclude that Formally re-
strains our vulgar feelings, serves to turn ON
minds into the right channel of thought
dresses man in a more cultivated nature, and
removes all improprieties which We find il
debased Society. G.

Each period Of life requires especial gifts
and graces. Therefore, independently of the
progress Of character, persons shine particu-
larry in one Or another period, according TO
their natural temperament and endowments.
Those who most charm US in youth, do not
always dispense the steady fragrance of good
deeds in middle life and our ideal of old
age is often best satisfied by those who have
passed unnoticed through the more active pc
RODS of life.

And memories deep haze bound me.

Within a far-gone May.
But what are these, the marble stones,
With grassy mounds behind themi
These towering obelisks that soar
And ivies that entwine themi
These flowers, so beautiful and fair,
Among these scenes so lonelys
Who gave them all this tender care'a
Affection's hand could only.
And here are names used to know,
In childhood's radiant morning,
Whose hearts were all like mine aglow
With young hopes rosy dawning

And wept that we should sever,
That must dwell on his cold earth
While they were blessed forever.

Where is the house, whose time stained walls

Although in memory painted;

In sacred peace reposing,
Until the morn when from the grave
Their long sealed eyes Enclosing,
They wake and rise on wings Of light,
With songs of triumph ringing;
For them no more the tomb's dark night
OF bliss and glory singing.

In dust and silence sleeping,
Where all that takes the dread from death
Is every where Astounding,
And thought could resign my breath,
With all this fair surrounding.
Yet, fair Greenmount, thy scenes, though far,
Have flung spell around me;
These cares, these joys not quite may mar
