TDLENEss NOT HAPPINESS. The most COM
mon error Of men and women is that of look
ing for happiness somewhere outside Of use
! ful work. It has never yet been found when
thus sought and never will be, while the
| world stands, and the sooner this truth is
learned the better for every one. Ifyou doubt
tho proposition, glance round among your
| friends and acquaintances, and select those
who appear to have the most enjoyment thro'
| life. Are they idlers and pleasure. SEEKERS, or
the earnest workers? We know what your
answer, will be. Ofall the miserable human
beings it has been our fortune or misfortune
to know they were the most wretched who
had retired from useful employment, in order
to enjoy themselves. Why, the slave at his
enforced labor, or the hungry toiler for bread,
were suprcmely happy in comparison. 1850

A BEAUTIFUL REooRD. the
length and the breadth of this nation there is
not an altar erected to IN idol god, not in all
our history has motion image been cast, nor
will there be. Never has carved clock re-
cieved the homage ofan American citizen Not
q temple has been reared in honor. Of Pagan
divinity, nor has the knee been bent to wor-
ship the hosts Of heaven. It Is remarkable
fact, and one which is Significant about the
future history OF our country that they who
reject Christianity in our country have no al
tar. no temple, no worship no religion. They
offer no sacrifice, they have no books Of
praise or Of prayer, they have no priesthood.

wrote to book-sclling firm in New York,
asking them to send him the history of a eel

in their catalogue. The firm replied that
they were "just OUT of that particular book,
but would send him the history Of almost any
other celebrated criminal case he wanted /;
whereupon, taking them at their word, he
sent for copy Of 1.-THE history Of the trial Of
the two thieves who were G lcifiad with the
Savior" remarking gravely, that he has " al
ways had much anxietv to know what those
two irascals had stolen" The book selling
firm didn't reply.
That was a "coor' man, who, after having
given over a marriage which it had 5beencur.
rently reported was@aboat to take place, on
being asked the reason, said: 81 had been
with her, you know, ?, good while, and no.

and hinted that she would rather 70 alone
than have me with her, but I didn't mind
that, you know. Well, one night when we
got to the door. says she, .Mr. -, do not
