EVIL.

Believing in Gods goodness and His
infinite and everlasting love, l bel eve in
evil, as part Of the divinely appointed
means by which my soul is to be edaca-
ted and disciplined for its highest possible
destinv-as a means rendered necessary
by nv nature and by my destiny. be
lieve that if now, in my souls Infancy, l
make my acquaintance with evil, and
grow up through it into my souls man
hood-leaving its relations to divine law
and to my own personal, God like free
don-that | shall be safe through the in
finite ages that stretch before me. | shall
not be like the angels who lost their first
estate, and plunged, full fedged, from
nights Of heavenly power into an infa-
NOUS perdition. God might as well have
gwen me my infancy in heaven as here,
If evil had no ministry Of good for me. |
might as well have been ushered at once
into the spiritual life, as to have been the
tenant of death doomed body, if there
had been nothing to be gained by proba-
tionary subsection to the power of evil

Mr.. Willis of the Home Journal saw .
pretty picture during his recent Railway
trip to Virginia. 1t was nothing but "a
little bit of log school-house right in the

The cars happened to stop directly il
front of it, and Mr.. Willis aud his party
paid it a visit:
"A modest and dgnified courtesy from
the school mistress gave us welcome. -
There was spare bench near the door
which accommodated the most of us, and
Judge Warren and Poet Thompson occu-
pied vacant spots on the sh ort seat of the
class up for spelling. Secretary Kennedy
leaned on his stick near the shut-up stove
in the centre, his kindlicst of voices and
faces encouraging the interrupted exercises
to proceed, and 'cloud-dispelling Maury'
stroked the head of the nice boy next him
in the corner. Bayard Taylor sat, in his
quiet observing way, studying the sur.
rounding rows of boys and girls faces

cry one barefoot. and MI seated against
tho rough hewn logs on the bench of nal
row plank which lined the room. Fancy
what picture for a photographer to have
brought away-thc celebrities, and the
little ragged problems of humanity, all

was a delicately formed young woman of
twenty or twenty-five years, perhaps,
dressed with exceeding plainncss, and Of
the most unconscious simplicity of de-
meanor, but her pale and thoughtfully re-
fined features had an expression which
seemed to mo the perfection of what we
recognize as tho beauty of the soul. She
looked as if she felt born only to be good
and kind to others, while life should last,
aud that she was here in her place, some
what overtasked, but doing good, she
hoped, and willing to be forgotten. At
the same time, in her subdued gentIeness
of tone, her exquisite propristy of replies,
| and her calm sweet manner to us, party
of strangers, there was selfpossessed
dignity that it was impossible not to pay
homage to-difficult I may as well say)
not to record for others as admiringly as
one remembers it for ones self. ASH sat

TINE FUTURE.

The shadowy future--ah! how many
shulder when they think of it! How
many shrink from even the thought Of il.
How it poisons every present delight, and
emli.ters every pleasure, and haunts ev-
cry hour of hollow mirth! declare this
to be utterly unnecessary-eyen inexcusa-
bic. We are content to live here in this
world of sorrow and pain, and shrink from
a world in which it shall be done away
with if we are only manly enough to get
ready for it! Accepting our life rs an
OK, er ment a period of education-en-
tering into the plan by which We are to
be fitted for everlasting happiness and
safety, and suhjecting ourselves to the nee
essary discipline-we lift tho great shad-
ow from us; the phantom Of the future re-
tires, and, calm in our trust, we live in tie
present a life of enjoyment. No man can
enjoy life in its full, blessed measure IN
til this tormenting fear be cast out; and il
can never be cast out by rational man
until the future looks safe to him. The
moment the future is taken care OF, pres
ent trials seem small, and present joys are
lifted to our lips, their d vine aroma unal
loyed.-Dr. Holland.

HAPPINESS.

Much Of the mystery that hangs over
the world, as world of evil, grows out OF
misconception of the highest life. If
the highest good of the short years that
are allotted to us on the earth be happi-
ness, then is the existence of evil indeed
a mystery; but it is not and cannot be.
Happiness is a legitimate object of life,
and l am even now endeavoring to show
how more of it may be secured; but it is
an object to be held subordinate to the ed
ucation necessary for service in another
realm, and the permanent enjoyment Of
another estate. / believe that the tru.st
happiness of the world is to be found in
heartily accepting and entering into the
scheme by which evil is made a powerful
agency in the development and eternal
security of the soul. Accepting this min
istry, aud trusting in the goodness-pro-
found and eternal--in which it vas con-
ceived, waht food of light and love is lie.
in upon the soul No! there is something
better for us in this world than happiness,
whatever tlioro may be beyond. We viii
take happiness as the incident of this,
gladly and gratefully. We will add a
thousand fold to the happiness of the pres
ent in the fearlessness of the future which
it brings, but We will not place happiness
first, aud thus cloud our heads with doubt
and fill our hearts with discomfort. In
the blacklist cells grow the richest flowers,
and the loftiest and strongest trees are
planted among the rocks.-Dr. Hollanl.

who can say what silent anguish of low
ing hearts sounded the dread depths OF
eternity with tho awful question:
Hhere2
In no other time or place of Christen-
dom have SO fearful issues been presented
to the mind. Some church interposed
its protecting shield; the Christian born
and baptisel child was supposed in some
wise rescued from the curse of the fall,
and related to the great redemption,-
to be member Of Christ's family, and
if ever so sinful, still infolded in some
vague sphere of hope and protection
Augustine solaced the dread anxieties of
trembling love by prayers offered for the
dead. in times when the Church above
and on earth presented itself to the eye of
the mourner as a great assembly with
one accord lifting intorceding hands for
the parted soul.
But the clear logic and intense ndlvid-
ualism of New England deepened the
problems of the Augustinian faith, while
they swept away all these softenipg pro
visions so earnestly clasped to the throb-
bing heart of that great poet of theology.
No lite, no form, no paternal relation, no
faith or prayer of church, earthly or
heavenly, interposed the slightest shield
between the trembling spirit and Eternal
Justice. The individual entered eternity
alone, as if he had no interceding relation
in the universe.
This, then, was the awful dread which
was constantly underlying life. II is it
was which caused the toling bell in green
holows and lonely dells to be sound
which shook the soul and searched the
heart with fearful questions. And this it
was that was lying with mountain weight
on the soul of the mother, too keenly
aconized to feel that doubt in such case
was any less torture than the most
dreadful certainty.

EVENING PRAYER.

/ come TO thee. tonight.
In nv lone closet where no eyes can see
And dare to crave an interview with thee,

While all sweet sounds ofevening on the breeze
Steal through the slumbering vine.

Now at the bright days close.
It's natures time for prayer;
The silent praises of the glorious sky.
The earth's orisons profound and high,
To heaven their breathings bear.
With them nv soul would berd
In humble reverence at thy holy throna,
Trusting the merits Of thy Son alone
Thy sceptre to extend.
I'll this day have striven
With thy blessed spirit.or have bowed the knee
To ought of earth, in weak idola,ry,
pray to be forgiven.
If in my heart has been
An unforgiving thought, or word. or look.
Though deep the malice which l scarce could
brook,
= ash me from the dark sin.
If have turned awav
From grief or suffering which might relieve
Careless the cup fwatsr cen to giye,
Forgive me, Lord pray.
And teach me how to feel
My sinful wandcrimrs with a deeper smart.
And more of mercy and of grace imTart,
My sinfulness to heal

Pure as the drops of eyes unsullied dew
AID as tie stars whose rightly course is true,
So would be TO Thee.
Not for myself alone.
Would / these blessings of thy love imrlore,
But for each penitent the wide world DER,
W HON thou hast called thine own.
And for my hearts best friends.
Whose steadfast kindnessO'er my painful year
Has watched to soothe affections, griets, ant
tears,
Nv warRest PRAYER ascends.
Should DER their path decline
The light of gladness, or of hope or health,
Re thou their solace, aud their Joy and wealth
AS they have long been mine.
And now, o Father. take
The he art cast with humble faith on thee,
Aud cleanse its depths from each impurity,
For nv Redeemer's sake.
