And lowered the trampled sod;

And a home for his priestly race,

While the endless ages roli

Go through the most dirty, narrow.

occasionally, on window-sill, you
will see pot with plant growing
therein; a vine. perhaps. its climbing
way guided by strings, until it forms
a curtain of living green for the whole
window, shutting out from the gaze OF
the occupant inside, the scenes OF
wretchedness in the world without.
We often picture to ourselves what
may be the condition of those who
live there Poor they must be, for nc
one, from choice, would live there; in

taken to tend the flowers would be

have been assailed by temptations in
various forms. and yielded--may be
guilty before God and man-but down
deep in their hearts there is a spark ol
goodness that occasionally sparkles
with diamonds brilliancy. and
wants but the breath of kindness. and
the fuel of advantageous opportunity
to kinllc flame so bright and vigor-

Character is Essential to Hap.
piuess

Without good character, happi-
ness is never known. All that exalts,
ennotlcs, embellishes, and dignifies
humanity is blended in the beauty and
the glory of truly genuine character.
All the treasures Of ten thousand
worlds will not compare in value with
one pure heart. FOR the production Of
all that is satisfying and blessed
They will not purchase peace, nor Joy,
nor sacred rest, nor the sweet tran
quillity of an unsullicd conscience, nor
one single moments real bliss
They can never be exchanged for those
golden-gloried virtues that blossom
all over good character. like the
blossoms on thick bed of roses, and
which are as rich in the sweet incense
that the heart loves most, as the
flowers are in refreshing fragrance.
The youth who places a proper
estimate upon good character has
learned lesson that is more valuable
to him than any thing else possibly
can be. He has learned the source Of
his purcst joys.
But the happiness and blessedncss
of a good character are not confined to
the sunny chambers Of its possessor.
Character IS catching. Ii one has a
good character, he gives something of
its goodness TO all with whom he
associates. If his heart is radiant
with the light of virtue, that light
gets out. and shine, in upon the hearts
of others. He can scarcely look at
another without impressing some
mark of his own character OH the heart
of the one upon whom he gazcs. y
mans face is almost always radiant
with the light of his true character
Character. like murder. will out. 1t
can not long bc concealed. You
might as we'll attempt TO chain tae
lightnings in the black cavcrns OF the
surcharged cloud. or put hood over
the great bright face of the sun, as to
lock up mans character from the
sight of his fellows. God never de-
signed that it should be. Character
was made to be seen. 1t is the gov
ernment OF the soul, put on. not only
for the comfort and convenience OF the
wespsr, but for the pleasure OF other
peoples eyes. 1t is no, worn for sell

An Eiouuent Extract.

Generation after generation have
felt rs we now feel, and their lives
were as active rs our own. The
heavens shall be as bright over our
graves rs they arc around our paths.
Yet little while and all this shall
have happened, the throbbing heart
will be stilled, and we shall be at rest.
Our funeral will wcnd its way, and
the PRAYERS will be said, and We shall
be left in darkness and silence of the
tomb. And it may be but for short
time we shall be spoken of-but the
things of life shall creep on, and our
names will be forgotten. Days will
continue to move on, and laughter and
songs will be heard in the room where
we died; and the eve that mourned for
us will be dried and animated with
JOY, AMI even orr children will cease
to think OF us, and viii remember to
lisp our names no more.
