THE INNER MAN.

Most men make the mistake of living too
much outside of themselves. They throw
themselves into the out-ofdoor activities of life
with an ardor of devotion that unhinges their
true nature. They accumulate wealth, they
acquire knowledge, or they become warped
cramped or deformed-one portion of their
powers expanding at the expense Of others.
How many men who have spent their lives
in some worldly pursuit, find themselves in old
age, the slave of iron habits, and incapable OF
enjoying all higher and purer pleasures of life !.
New life was not given merely for an out
ward effort, but mainly for inward cultivation
We are to make the most of ourselves-give
all our powers due expansion and cherish an
inner life that will make us Independent of out
ward circumstances The man who lives only
in his worldly pursuits is ever in danger of
moral bankruptcy. When the outer world
fails him he has no inner world from which to
draw strength for the battle of life. Not long
since in this State man hanged himself be
cause Ill health deprived him of the power to
labor, When he could no longer work he
said, he no longer wished to live, He had
lived too much in his labor and had neglected
to provide an inner retreat from the pains and
msfortunes of life.
What a miserable mockery it il to know
that we have accumulated fortune, or achiev-
ed an object Of ambition, if in the pursuit we
have wrecked our manhood Inward growth
not outward accumulation, is the true object
of existence Life rightly lived mounts ever
upward, and may reach at its latest hour its
happiest condition-the crowning beauty and
perfection of earthly existence.

sTxR1HEG THE soxL.:

Zethro Tuli, an Euglsh farmer; $50 years
ago advocated the frequent pulverization of
the soil as a substitute for manure. He
thought that the earth alone did everything for
vegetation, and so he sats III bis work entitled
Horse Hoe Hasbandry too much inter cor

theory was that all the arabic soils in the
world were iiearlr alike, ard the difference in
their fertility arose from the coarseness or fine
ness of their PARTICLES. With him no soil

or free passage for its roots; throagh it's mel

WHAT rs MAN ?

While listening on Monday and Tuesday,
with real sympathy, to the desponding reports
of the farmers of our country in regard to the
effects of the frost on their crops we could not
help feeling with peculiar force the truth of the
scriptural teachings as to the utter helpless
ness of man, the vanity of his calculations, and
the insecurity of his hopes, save those found ID
in absolute faith in Gods wisdom and good
ness It is indeed hard to bow in genuine
submission to that Providence at such mo-
ment of distress, and the heart will murmur
and rebel, but of what avail is it? On Satur-
dav, 4th, at sundown, there were doubts
and fears of mischief perhaps, but who dream
ed Of the desolation which Sunday mornings
sun revealed? of the withered fruits, and
blipbted blasted vegetation, which had sue
ceeded the grand promise ofa few hours before
What is man." says the good Book, and what
indeed is he? He may plant and water, but
what is secured to him of all his labor? A
little frost comes in the calm, still night While
we sleep undisturbed, and the apparently trl-
fiji. e agent cuts down more hopes and fortunes
than confagration or a war of long duration
The destroying Angel has passed by, and though
we hear no rustling of wings, the work OF
warning or of chastening, has been done nc

HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF UN-
HAPPY.

In the first place, if you want to make your
self miserable. be selfish. Think all the time
of yourself and of your own things. Don't
care for any thing else. Never think of en-
joying the satisfaction of seeing others happy
but rather, if you see smiling face, be jeal
Gus lest another should enjoy what you have
not Envy every one who is better off in any
respect than yourself think unkindly towards
them and speak lightly of them. Be constant
afraid lest some one should eDcroach upon your
rights be watchfal against it, and if any one
comes near your things, snap at him like a
mad dog. Contend earnestly for every thing
that is your own, though it may not be worth
pin, for your rights are just as much con
cerned as if it were a pound of gold. Never
yield a point. Be very sensitive, and take in
the most serious manner every thing that is
said to you in piayfullness. BE jealous of your
friends. lest they should not think enough of
you. and if at any time they should seem to
neglect you, put the worst construction you
can upon their conduct.

EARrE rs NOT QUE HouE.

Where is the heart that hath not in some
dark hour, leapcd with an exulting bound at
the thought that earth is not our home? 1t
comes like the "balm OF tIilead," to the child
of sorrow and poverty, giving him new strength
to tread the thorny pathway of hie- lie feels
that every swelling billow of hatred waits him
nearer the heaven of unchanging love. Every
disappointment weayes for him "a brighter gar
land of lifeis immortal tree. Has genius stamp
ed upon his brow her own Godlke image p
Does he feel that he was made for nobIer des-
tiny. and vet conscious that his talents must
sumber in obivious shade? To him the
thought is full of joy-that though his name
may not be written on Fanle's gilded page yet
it may be engraved on heavens everlasting por-
tails Though honor withholds frem him her
fading laurels, he looks onward to a glorious
diadem reserved for the pure in heart Al
ready he sees angel hands placing the hast
gem in the conquerors crown; already he hears
their shouts of triumph, as they throw wide the
gates of the heavenly city and welcome him
to his eternal home. Is there, then, no Joy in
the thought that earth is not our abiding-place?
Why should we despair, though trials gather
around us-though happiness, like phantom,
tries but to destroy? Though death loves a
shining mark, taking with unerring aim, those
we love. There is a brighter world where
those we have loved will be forever in our pres
ce-happness like a boundless sea, where we
may drink and never thirst, will richly repay
for every sorrow, every disappointment that
darkens our pathway here below. Yet who
would drink at the fountain ofknowlege, is there
no joy unspeakable in the thought of "a world
beyond the grave?
Where are those high and glorious aspirants
that continually point to something more holy
and pure? Do they not whisper to the letter-
ed spirit, thou shall soon be free, and bask in
the unclouded sunlight of thy native home
Unnumbered worlds shall be spread out before
thee, like islands that slumber on the oceans
triumphant bosom. Beings more beautiful
than fancy ever pictured, will lead thee to foun-
tains Of knowledge, exhaustless as the river of
life Mourn not that earth's troubled and i'm
pure waters are denied thce-look onward to
those immortal streams that flow through the
garden of God yea rejoice that earth is not
thy home-that mortality is not thy destiny.

A Great Country.

The Rev. Bishop Pierce; of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, gives the following
picture of the State of Texas: Texas is a
curious country-a paradox. Everything is
in the superlative, or contradictory, or mar
veous It is the richest and the poorest-has
the best land and the meanest water; is the
hardest country to live in, and has the most to
live OF the days are the hottest, and the
nights the coolest; here are the most rivers,
and the least waters the best roads and the
sowest travel the finest building material,
and the least use made Of it; there are more
Clouds and less rain; more plains, and less
timber; more ropes to tie horses, and more es-
trays poor country for farming, and yet the
most productive the least work, and the larg-
est yield the horses are small and the cattle
big; the frogs have horns, and the rabbits
have ears like mules; the people are intelligent
without general education-inventiye without
being tricky-refned without mannerism-
rich without money : hospitable without
household, generous, and brave. In fine
here is an empire in extent and resources, but
in the slowest process of evolution, and yet
destined to population wealth and power.

A Negro Scared to Death by an Ele'
phant.

The Ouchita, Louisiana Herald relates the
following; hnd calls it a case Of elephant
cide:7
A negro man belonging to DIR. Saunders, OF
Holly Springs, Dallas county, we understand,
was frightened to death by one of Mabie's ele-
phants, week before last. The circumstances,
as we learned them, were these: After the
performances Of the company at Holly Springs,
the elephants were removed a short distance
from the pavilion and confined in the bushes,
to await the time of starting to the next place
of exhibition. The negro, not knowing they
were there, was passing near by, when one OF
them passed his trunk around the body of the
boy, drawing him gently towards his elephant
ship. The negro seeing the colossal proper
tions of the animal which the darkness of the
night no doubt greatly magniied, made a Her
culean effort and succeeded in escaping from
the disagreeable embrace. He ran short dis
tance and fell to the ground, arousing the
whole neighborhood with his cries being un-
able to rise he was taken up and carried to the
house, where he soon after died, the doctor says
from no other cause than fright.

WHAT ILosT BY KISSING KATE.
WILLIE z. PABOR,


There was Lizzie. Kate and Mary,
All three beautiful and young;
But the name Mary ever
fingered longest on my tongue,
And [ hopes in secret cherished
Of home where she was queen,
But one day those sweet hopes persisted
And left my life desert scene.
They and were once together,
Frolicking beneath the moon,
In the mildest of mild weather.
In the odorous moth Of June,
And sweet Mary said, ''Since kisses
In the moonlight time are due,
l would take the best Of kisses
From Kate's lips-if ! were you
Scarce had the thought been spoken,
Ere, with heart and eye eIate,
had claimed the honored token
From the rosy lips of Kate.
But alack in thus obeying,
[ had made sad mistake
For in heart the girl was saying,
Kate will loose what | will take -
kiss Kate - this was what she told ME;
But its meaning was-kiss me
Oh vain heart and oh, eyes silly
Thus to fail the truth to see
So we parted [ with SORROW,
She with scorn, perhaps with hate,
And my heart grows sad by knowing
What I lost by kissing Kate.
