vandalism Of the werId.

Fancy what we should have had
around us now, if, instead of quarreling
and fighting over their work, the ma
tions had aided each other in their
work, or if even in their conquests, in
stead of efacing the memorials of those
they succeeded and subdued. they had
guarded the spoils Of their Victories
Fancy what Europe would be now, if the
delicate statutes and temples of the
Greeks-if the broad roads and massive
walls of the Romans--if the noble and
pathetic architecture of the middle ages
had not been ground to dustby mere hu-
man rage. You talk of the scythe of
time, and of the tooth of time: tell you
time is scytheless and toothless; it is we
who gnaw like the worm--we who smite
like the scythe. 1t is ourselves who
abolish-ourselves who consume; We
are the mildew and the fame; and the
soul of man is to its own work as the
moth that frets when it cannot fly, and
as the hidden fame that blasts where it
cannot illuminc. All these lost treas
ures of human intellect have been Who'll
ly destroyed by human industry of de-
struction-the marble would have stood
its two thousand years as well in the
polished statue as in the Parian cliff
but we men have ground it to powder,
and mixed it with our own ashes; the
walls and the ways would have stood--it
is we who have left not one stone upon
another, and restored its pathlessness to
the desert; the great cathedrals of old
religion would have stood--it is we who
have dashed down the carved work with
axes and hammers, and bid the noun
taingrass bloom upon the pavement, and
the sea-winds chant in the galleries.

Disappointment.

There are two ways of bearning dis
| appointment. One is to call in aid of
philosophy, the other to fall back upon
religion. The stole aud priest hagesboth
had their place in the world; and though
Christianity has espoused the cause of
the latter, and taught US through it
alone was the way to triumph, yet it has
not been able to tear off the cloak of
the former, as he holds it tsternly around
his rigid form. Christianity needs no
mans patronage; and when we say its
decision is right IN the matter, We would
do it with thes eye of: faith lifted ador-
ingly to its Supreme Founder. If dis
appointment were a fierce. unfeeling
tyrant, who sought to play with our
misery, we might worry well lift our
selves defantly before it and declare we
would not yield. There is a spirit Of pride
an unconquerable will in man which
prompts him to an indignant protest
and a fierce struggle against such bust
ness as this. He may be broken, but
he will not bend to any power of the
world. But every one ought to know
that disappointment does not possess
such spirit. It is handmaid of God,
and every visitation it makes to the hu-
man heart is an errand of mercy. No
woman's heart is so tender as that of
God. The softly falling snow, defying
the hearing of the sharpest ear, is not
SO gentle as his hand. And five would
look upon disappointment as the angel
it really is, we should be more disposed
than is our want to bow in humble ac-
acknowledgement Of the divine warning,
and yield to the chastening designed to
call back our wandering hearts to their
Creator
Blessed is the man who is tried by
disappointment, if there is enough reli-
gion in his soul to respond to the soft
whispering of the angel voice which un-
derlies and breaths through the Attic
ton. Miserable, hopeless, indeed,
