CRI1IclsM.-Thero is wel.known fable
Of an ancient painter who opened picture
to public criticism, requesting that every per-
son who observed fault would put mark
upon it. When the artist came in the eve.
ming to fetch his painting home, he found it
one mass Of marks of disapprobatiou. Eve
ry. critic had found in it something to con.
denim. The next day, having carefully eras-
ed the marks, the painter again displayed
his work of art, requesting that every behold
er who noticed beauty would put mark
upon it. At evening he found the canvas
was covered with signs of appreciation Eve
ry part had found admirers in similar touches
with those that had, only the day previous,
been condemned by the critics. Is not this
fable true of the world to-day? Do not the
majority of those who criticise, either to
praise or condemn, follow each one, the bias
of their own taste, rather than any just STAN
dard of literature or art

Heather Won by Kindness.

la recent letter from Southern Africa
we find the following statement : The wild
ow OF a man who had been killed for witch.
craft narrowly escaped the same fate. She
secrcted herself and TWO children in the
woods, being for two days and tAo nights
without food ungcr and reflection brought
10 the poor sufferer miud the fact that mis-.
sionaries were men Of kindness. She was in
duced by this thought to leave the scenes of
her suffering in the wilderness, and soon
stood with her two children before the mis-.
sionary. Having been welcomed and protec-
ted and fed, her language was: Teacher,
you have saved US, and now we are yours
Do with us just as you please; VIC will live
ard die by YOU The missionary reoices in
being able to say that the mother and two
children are now members OF the Church, and
find greater mercy in Christ than the ever
hoped to find from the missionary. Blessed
are the merciful, for by showing mercy, they
attract tho benighted and the miserable to
the God Of mercy.
A missionary in Southern Africa states
that Christian civilization goes steadily on
among the natives. Houses are being built
with the needful accommodations oxen and
the plough are extensively used-land is
coming into the possession of individuals,
greatly stimulating industry and enterprise
many are laying aside money, that they may
purchase farms. Thus Christianity and civ
iization advance hand in hand. The month";
ly missionary prayer meeting is largely
attended, and tie interest is much increas-
ed by the use of large missionary maps,
which were presented by the Sabbath School
Of the Winthrop Church in Charlestown,
Mass.-BoSton Traveller.

Death by Casualty.

Our senses are very apt TO delude and i'm
pose upon us in respect to the methods and
circumstances through which people make
their transit from one world to another
While the waves are closing over the one hun
dred people who went down in the stcam-ves-
sci, ten thousand more are making their ex-
it from sick-roJms, where the strings of life
have been s!owp sawed asunder by torturipg
End grating diseases, till the worn and hag-
gard sufferers sigh for the refuge Of tue grave.
These die slowly and painfully those with
hardly any pain at all, perhaps rise into an-
other life without knowing that they have
ever died. Their case will lie announced as
hcavenly triumphs over the king Of terrors.
The concomiants of dissolution are Of less
impo lance than we generally make them, ex-
cept to our own frig htened imaginations, for
the nearer death comes to US, the more does
he battle the senses in Lethe more perfect
than the anesthetics fhuman discovery; and
while on the side of mortality we see only
the ship lifting its murderous blaze into the
midnight sky, and then plupging to be
quenched in the awful caverns below, this
world with its horrors and glories alike is fad
ing out or has disappeared entirely from the
sufferers, and the morning gate is wide
open on the other side, through which lies
the gardens of Paradise in green and tran
quill repose This is true, we doubt not, in
innumerable instances of death by sudden
disasters, when, by the suddenness ITSELF sem
sation is annihilated, and Immortality dawns
without the consciousness of dissolution

LOVE, A WREATH OF FLOWERS ON THE
OLDEST BRow.-No man ever forgot the visi-
tations of that power to his heart and brain
which created all things new; which was the
dawn in him of music, poetry, art which
made the face Of nature radiant with purple
light, the morning and the night varied en-
chantments when single tone Of one voice
could make the heart bound, and the most
trivial circumstances associated with one form
is put in the amber of memory; when he be-
came all eye when one was present, and all
memory when one was gone; when the youth
becomes watcher Of windows and studious
of glove, a veil, ribbon, or the wheels Of
carriage; when no place is too solitary and
none too silent for him who has richer COM
pany and swceter conversation in his new
thoughts than any old friends, though best
anb purest, can give him tor the figures, the
motions, the words of the beloved object are,
like other images, written in wate., but, as
Plutarch said, & enamelled in fire" and make
the study of midnight.
In the noon ami afternoon of life we still
throb at the recollection OF days when happi-
ness was not happy enough, but must be
drugged with the reishof pain and fear; for
he touched the secret of the matter who said
OF love, all other pleasures are not worth
its pains, and when the day was not long
enough, but the night too must be consumed
in keen recOllectiOns when the head boiled
all night on the pillow with the generous deed
it resolved on: when the moonlight was
pleasing fever, and the stars were letters, and
the flowers ciphers, and the air was coined
into song; when all business seemed an i'm
pertinence, and all the men and women rum
ming to and fro In the streets mere pictures.

1t is suggested in some of the papers that
the Bible may be read through in a year by
reading three chapters on every weekday
and five on the Sabbath. Such reading Of
the book would be better than none at all,
and we presume that parts of it would be new
to some people. But the careful and sudious
reading, if not half chapter, should be daily
gone over, would bo more valuable than this
hurried perusal for the sake Of getting over a
given amount in given time.
