If everybody only would be kind and true what happy world this would be. To be sure, sickness and death and change and par ting would be in it still, and these would be sufficient to wiring out frequent tears, but the bitterness would be gone out of every sorrow. There might, and probably would, still be much poverty, but who would care for being poor if every body was kind to him? He would De sure of work when he was well and of care when he was sick, and how could he be unhappy? And sickness cou!d be borne when there was no neglect or forgedulness t0 be borne with it, and PardEgs would be as full of hope as they were Of pain and death would be only temporary parting. All could be borne.

THE BIBLE.-IIow comes it that this little volume composed by humble men, in a rude age when arts and sciences were but in their childhood, has exercised more influence ou the human mind and on the social system than all the other books put togcther1 Whence comes 1t this book has achieved such marvellous changes in the opinion of mar kind; has banished idol worship; has put down polygamy and divorce; exalted the con dition of women; raised the standard of public morality; created for families that blessed thing, Christian home; and caused its other triumphs by causing benevolent institutions, open and expansive to spring up as with the wand of enchantmcntI What sort of a book is that, that even the winds and waves of human passion obey itz What other engine of social improvement has operated 50 long and yet lost none of its virtue! Since it appeared, many boastcd plans of amelioration have been tried, and failed; many codes of jurisprudence have arisen and run their course. and expired Empire after empire has been launched upon the tide of time, and gone down. leaving no traces upon the waters. But this book is still going about doing good, leayening society with its holy principles, cheering the sorrow ful with its consolation, strengthening the tempted, encouraging the pcnitent; calming the troubled spirit, and smoothing the pillow of death. Can such book be the offspring of human genius? Does not the yasucss ol its effects demonstrates the e4ccllency of the power of God

BENJAMIN FEAEIlLIN.-IIon. George Ban croft once delivered an address~>bolore the New York Historical Society, in which he said:
 Not the half of Fran6Iins merits have heen tod. H. 5as the Father of the Amer ic&n Union. It was he who went forth to lay the foundation of the great design at Albany and in New York he lifted up his voice. Here among Us lie appeared as the Apostle Of the Union. l. was Franklin who suggested the Congress of l774; and but for lis wis dom, and the confidence that wisdom inspired, it is a matter of doubt whether that Congress would have taken effect. It was Franklin who suggested the bond of this Union which binds these States from Florida to Maine. Franklin was the greatest diplomatist of the eighteenth century. He never spoke word too soon; he never spoke word too late; he never spoke word too much; he never failed to speak the right word at the right season."

All wanted to touch her, and great surprise was expressed upon feeling her hair. The King of Nyinemo tribe called her very fne' and comp.imeated her husband greatly for his taste in selecting her; and when she told him he might see other white women who would surpass her, he said that would either never be, or else in a very long time Owing to her presence the attendance on preaching was extraordinary large. Dur ing her visit at the mission station hundreds went to see her, who sad they could feel sat- isfed to die now that they had seen such g wonderful being as white woman.
