1 fTHE VALUE OF SELF"ExERTIoN. val
ue of self-exertion appears nowhere more de-
cided than when we follow the track of those
who become eminent without having the van
background of instruction from which to
start. There is scarcely any thing more
gratifying to the mind than'the weu-written
life of person whose intellectual struggles
through every difficulty arising from want of
instruction, want of books, want of patronage,
and who, Notwithstanding these impedments,
continues to struggle till he triumphantly
emerges into notice. Art surrenders some Of
her choicest secrets, science smiles, and fame
or emolument, Or both, place the successful
experimenter far above common names. Not
scantily are the inches in the temple Of Fame
ornamen'ed with lasting memorials of persons
thus claiming their well-deserved honors--
persons who have been the boast and blessing
of their country by dint of unsubdued pa
tience, fortitude and vivacious genius. Every
department of art and science is filled with
them. The stimulating examples are on
every hand. From the lowest rank of life
they start forth. They break all the shackles
of ignorance. The repulsive frowns of the
crowd can not daunt Them The fears of the
humorous they do not listen to. Determined
to excel, they do excel Their native ener.
gies urge them forward in the honorable Ca
reer, till success, more or less complete,
crowns their glowing ardor,

Our Social Circle,
The Bible in Schools,

There ought to be no question about the
place, power, and right of the Bible in our
schools. Whatever other points are mooted,
this ought to stand clear, in the system of
common education. If the Bible is excluded,
the common school system, with all its advan-
tages, will come to be curse, for religion
will be excluded, whenever the Bible is shut
out. This is one effcctual mode of "oppres-
sing man and his house, even man and
his heritage" to tax the community for school
money, and then keep the Bible from the
children in the schools. 1t will be found
much easier to exclude the Bible, on various
pretences, than to bring it back again and
if this work goes on, there will be no diff.
Guilty, even in regard to us, in the way of the
fulfllment of Gods prediction, "Behold the
days come. saith the Lord God, that will
send famine in the land, not famine of
bread, nor thirst of water, but of hearing
the words Of the Lord. And they shall wan
der from sea to sea, and from the north even
to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek
the word OF the Lord, and shall not find it,"
because thou hast rejected knowledge, I
will also reject thee. Seeing thou hast for
gotten the law of thy God, | WILL ALSO FOR
GET THY CHILDREN"
Our religion will become as dead meu's
bones, when the Bible is prescribed in the
schools, and its freedom muzzed in the
churches. ut shall come to pass, if there
remain ten men in one house, that they shall
die And mans uncle shall take him up,
and he that burneth him, to bring out the
bones out of the house, and shall say unto
him that is by the sides of the house, Is there
yet any with thee? And he shall say, No.
Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue; for we
may not make mention of the name of the
Lord" There are plenty of Jeroboams and
Baals at this very day, ready for such edcts,
and priests ready to exclaim, Prophecy not
any more at Bethel, for it is the kings chap
el, and it is the kings court. Neither the
Bible nor its preachers must be suffered to GO
against existing institutions or organ sins.
We are receiving letters from time to time
asking for the work published year or two
since by the Carries, entitled, the "R1GHr Oh
THE BIBLE IN OUR COMMON SCHOOLS" Tn,
publishing house of the Carriers is nowi
Broadly, $50, and any application to them
by mail, for this work, will doubtless be i'm
mediately attended to, and the book forward
ed to order. At the same time, and in tn
same way, the work "God against Slavery
may be obtained although this volume VIA
not published by the sane house. $50

institutions and organic sins. THE BDLG I

tiou may be laid, on which this right will

ADVICE TO LADIEs.-Have the feet we'll
protected, then pay the next attention to the
chest. The chest is the repository of the vi
tai organs. There abides the heart and lungs.
1t is from the impression made upon these
organs, through the skin, that the SILVER
comes. 1t is natures quake-the alarm bell
at the onset of danger. A woman never
shivers from the effect of cold upon her limbs
or hands, or head but let the cold strike
through her clothing on her chest, and off
goes her teeth into chatter, and the whole
organism is in a commotion. One sudden
and severe impression of cold upon the chest,
has slain its tens of thousands. Therefore,
while the feet are we'll looked after, never
forget the chest These points attended to,
the natural connections of the dress will sup
ply the rest, and the woman is ready for the
air Now let her visit her neighbors, 90
shopping, call upon the poor, and walk for
the good of it, or the fun Of it.
Keep away from the stove or register. Air
that is dry or burnt, more or less charged
with gases evolved by the fuel, is poison. Go
up staias and make the beds with mittens on.
Fly around the house like mad, and ventilate
the rooms. Don't sit pent up in single
room with double windows. Fruit will not
retain its full form and flavor in air-tght
cans; neither will women. They need air.
IF the shiver comes on during these opera
tions, go directly and put on something more
about the chest.
Again do not live in dark rooms. Light
fades the carpet, but it feeds the flower. No
living animal or vegetable can enjoy health
in darkness. Light is also as necessary as
air, and brown tan is far preferable, even
as matter OF beauty, to a sickly paleness of
complexion.

The DARK sIDE.-There is something mex
pressihe tragic in the thought of what is
going on benath many surface apparently
so calm. We are shouting with laughter at
the drolleries of an actor whose heart is
aching for the little one dying at home, or
whose life is Swallowed by some terrible ca
lamily; and we read with captious severity,
or the merest Indifference, the book or article
which has been written under conditions of
moral or physical torture such as would not
simply disarm criticism, if we knew of them,
but make us marvel that anything was writ
ten at all. Tie pleasant author of Tangled
Talk" in Tait's Magazine, writes like the
gayest of serene and happy minds; and yet
this month he informs u.s. when referring to
former article, that "the writer penned this
buoyant passage propped up on "a sofa, with
the Precipitation in drops on his forehead, and
hyosciamus rapidly lowering his pulse."-
What II picture The buoyant sentence,
jotted down in such a condition are, perhaps
not a whit the worse for the pain which &C
compauied their production, but he, the writer
was the worse for them! Nor is the case
rare Que. A friend of ours for more thai
two years has written almost daily when tn
state Of his head emphatically told him h
should do no work, had not necessity spoke
with still sterner emphasis and it is know
to many that Harriet Martineau has fo
months been writing id the intervals Of sui
ferings which would have quelled spirit les
energetic, and obscured mind less bright.

THE GREAT END OF Society. Property
continually tends to become more vivid idea
than right. In the struggle for private ac-
emulation, the worth of every human being
is overlooked. The Importance of every mans
progress is forgotten. We must contend for
this great idea They who hold it, must
spread it around them. The truth must be
sounded in the ears of men, that the grand
end of society is the place within reach of all
its members the means of improvement, of
elevation, of the true happiness of man.
There is higher duty than to build aims
houses for the poor, and that is, to save men
from being degraded to the blighting influence
of an alms-house. Man has right to some.
thing more than bread to keep him from
starving. He has right to the aids, and
encouragements, and culture, by which he
may fulfill the destiny of man; and until
society is brought to recognize and reverence
this, it will continue to groan under its pres
ent eries.-Chanming.

Close-his eyes--they look so cold
Ont across the snowy wnld;
Draw the curtains close around.
That the bells with joyous sound
His dull hearing may not wound.
Clasp his hands-so long and thin;
They were full (when he came in
Just twelve months ago. with grain
Seeds Of happiness and pain,
That he scattered round like rain!
Hush !-he's gone--adown the wind
Died that last vague underlined
Word =" Farewell twas more sigh
Than word. heard 1t die
On the breeze, that moaneth by.
Smooth the wrinkles on bis brow
He'll not feel the pressure now.
Hark the rain sobs at the door,
Thinking how itsaw of yore
Old Year Gie-and shall see more.
Lay him out ere he grow cold,
Clothe him for the churchyard mold
Who is this among US here,
Standing by the Old Mans biers
IT'S his heir--'tis the New Year,
Hail to thee thou last of Years,
With thy young eyes wet with te RS;
But TIE woe Of youth is brief,
Thou wilt soon forget thy grief;
Thy new power will bring relief!
Leave us-gray old men, New Year,
To the earth his corpse to bear.
Go the world with mirth and glee,
Waits impatiently for thee.
Leave the dead SO cold and grim!
Some day thou shalt be like him!
