Our favorite prose writer, the venera-
bic and gentle Washington Irving, says
in one Of his charming essays, in speaking
of departed spirits:
"My mind has been crowded with
fancies concerning these beings. Are
there indeed such beings? Is the space
between us and the Deity filled up by
innumerable orders of spiritual beings,
forming the same grade lions between tie
human soul and divine perfection, that
we see prevailing from humanity down to
the merest insect 1t is sublime and
beautiful doctrine of the early fathers,
that there are guardian angels appointed
to watch over cities and nations, to take
care Of good men, and to guard and
guide the steps of helpless infancy. Even
the doctrines Of departed spirits returning
to visit the scenes and beings that were
dear to them during the body's existence,
though it has been debased by the absurd
superst;t;ons Of the vulgar, i'll itself is aw-
fully solemn and sublime"
No man who reflects in the solitudes of
his life but must be impressed with the
same belief so beautifully set forth by our
author. Because the busy part OF the
world the money makers, the schemers,
the selfish men and the ambitious men -
do not think of these things, and conse-
quently do not believe them, it amounts
to nothing to insist that they are any the
less true. It remains for the thoughtful
men alone to bring up these deep and
c:ii :;cii;g experiences to the surface; they
who pass hours alone in their studies,
communing with themselves--or they
who pass days alone in the woods, on the
hillside, down in the meadows, and by
the lakes and streams, communing with
nature. Il is the simplest souls that re-
ceve the blessing. The dews of Heaven
descend only upon the lands that have
been prepared and lie waiting for their
coming.

TAKE-oFF.-Ihe Har6;nger, a paper
printed in Rochester, n. Y, and an adj
vocate of the spiritual theory, has tho fol-
lowing ''high falut;n;" -
"In the twelfth hour, the glory of God,
the life Of God, the Lord in God, tho
Hoy Procedure shall crown the triune
Creator with the perfect disclosive illu-
mination. Then shall the creation in its
efficiency in the Seraphine, arise into
the dome Of disclosure, in one compre-
hens:ve, revolving galaxy Of supreme cre-
ated beatitudes.'
To this the Cayuga CAisf responds as
follows, and there is about as much
sound sense in one as the other.
"Then shall the blockheads in tho
jackassical dome of disclcsiN procedure,
bove the ALFRED great leather fungus
of Peter Nipninnygo, the goosebery
grinder, rise into the ac,ne disclosirs,
until co -equal and co extensive and con-
glomerated lumaxes, in one grand COM
prehensive mux, and rcyolve like bob

TSAXAssED TAYLOR.

The editor of the Locomotive, Plym-
outh, Illinois, who was !: printer in the
same office where Bayarl Taylor served
his time" tells some interesting remini-
cences of the great traveller:
We had the honor to succeed him in
our term of "devilship'' in the Village
Record office, Westchester County, Pa.
We well remember the time when he
started out upon his first tramp" with
his small satchel containing change OF
two of linen. and with fifty cents in capt
tai he onmenced his early history of lif'.
The apprentices in those days had to car
ry papers through the country on horse
back, and our route was past his house.
We do not know of a single time through
rain or shine, that old Mr.. Taylor did not
me. us at the end Of the lane, with II
happy smile, wishing us a good-day, and
as we would hand him the Record, he
would remark, ga fair exchange is no
robbery" filing one side Of our saddle
bags with nice apples and grapes. He
was q member Of the Society of Friends,
and with his little family around him he
was happy man indeed. He used to
inquire anxiously of Bayard, and said
He liked to rambie around too much !;
he was not steady enough" Little he
knew, then, that his Bayard, the printers
apprentice, would be one day quoted as
the greatest travelling historian that Amer
lea can boast of.

ADDRESS TO FARMERS.

Donald G. Mitchell, ok Marvel) deliv-
cred the annual address before the Con-
necticut State Agricultural Society. We
select the following admirable closing
paragraphs.
But there is something worth living
for besides money. That it very good,
bnt it is not all. With the rest, let US
raise a crop Of good ideas. While you
farmers remember that you are men,
with duties and responsibilities, live down
the old, brutal notion that a farmer must
be uncouth, uneducated and unthinking
a mere plodder.
You are brought in immediate contact
with the great heart of civilization. You
cannot get out ofthe buzz of the toiling
world. The trill of the wonder working

keep your boys corns cling all the long
winter evenings. Make your farm place
that your sons and daughters cannot help
loving. Cultivate trees--they are Gods
messengers. Don't say that you care
nothing for looks. You do care, else why
did you build that two story white house
with green blinds, and a cupola into
which you never go9 Or why did you
years ago, carefully brush your coat and
pluck up your shirt collar, when you were
starting on a Sunday evening, to visit the
good woman who now shares your home?
Care much more for books and pictur-
es. Don't keep a solemn parlor into
which you go but once a month with the
parse or gossips of the sewing soc ely.
Hang around your wa's pictures VIII .ch
shall tell stories of mercy, hope, courage
faith, and charity. Make your living
room the largest and most cheerful IN the
house. Let the place be such that when
Your boy has gone to distant lands, or
even when perhaps, he cIings to single
plank in the lonely waters of the wide
ocean, the thought Of the old homestead
shall come across the waters of desolatlon
bringing always Light, hope and love.
Have no dungeons about your house
M rooms you never open-no blinds
that are always shut.
Don't teach your daughters French be-
fore they can weed a flower bed or cling
to side saddle. Bring to your doors
the richest flowers from the woods; cult
vate the friendship of birds; scorn the
scamp who levels his lnurderous gun at
the blue bird or robin. Study botany,
learn to love nature, and seek a higher
cultivation than the fashionable world
can give YOU"

OF DIR. CHAPLIN.

Among the most eminent, and by no
means the least witty of the Cougrega-
tionsl clergyrnen of tho last generation
was the Rev. Calvin Chaplin D. D. The
following anecdote is related Of him.
Many years ago, before Albany was
linked to Boston by iron bands, a meet
ing of the American Board of Commiss-
toner's for Foreign Missions was held ct
Albany and DR.. Chaplin, with number
of tier clergymen performed the jour
ney by stage. At the close Of the meet
ing they returned in the same way. Thu
sta.e started at four o'clock IN the NOR
ming, which at that season of the year
was before daylight. All the passengers
in the stage but one were Congregation
lists but one; that one was young Epis-
copal minister. At first starting the pas
seengers were all silent, til, after some
lime, our young Episcopal friend, with
somewhat moro Of courage than discre-
ton, proceeded to deliver himself as fol-
lows;
81 have boen examining those portions
Of the Scriptures lately. in which prayer
is spoken of, and have satisfied myself
that prayer is never spoken of in the BIZ
bic here the circumstances do not make
tprobable-yes | may say certain, that
the prayer must have been read'
To this somewhat startling PROPOSE
ton no one made any reply, but our
young friend nothing daunted, went on
Il will defy any gentleman present to
bring forward an instance where this is
not the case"
There was again short silence, which
was broken by DR.. Chaplin who said in
his blandest and most deferential tone.
81 do not mean Is deny your position
Sir, but there is question | should like
to ask, if you will be SO kind as to answer
it,
"oh, ssk as many questions as you
| please will answer them" was the re-
ply of the young man.
The question wished to ask" said
Dr. Chapin very deliberately, twas who
held the candle for Jonah whom he read
prayers in the whales belly9"
It is said that the Juvenile divine main
tanned dignifed silence during the res
of that journey"

PoINTLEss SERMoNs.-In one of his
discourses, John Newton has this pithy
remark -" Many sermons ingenious in
their kind, may be compared to letter
put in the post office without a direction.
1t is addressed to nobody, it is owned by
nobody, and if a hundred people were to
read it, not one Of them would consider
himself concerned III the contents. Such
p sermon, whatever excellencies it may
have, lacks the chef requisites of SER
mon. It is like sword which has n
polished blade, a jeweled hit, and gor-
geous scabbard, but ret will not cut, and,
therefore, to all real use, is no sword.
The truth properly presented, has an
edge, it pierces to the divi ing asundor of
soul and spirit, 1t is q discerner Of the
thoughts aud intents of the heart"
