Bcnuty ON Earth.
"Thorc is beauty enough on earth tc

"Thore is beauty enough on earth TO
make a home for angels t..f
There is a strange proclivity in man to
nisarply or neglect altogether, what was
intended by the Creator Of man for his
comfort and profit. Those whom he has
crowned with uncommon gifts Of mind
are rrorc 20 abuSa tho trust, by pervert-
ing to buse uses or dim its lustre bv ins
difference or excess. Those whom he had
adorned with peculiar charms of person,
are too trt to cmplo: those charms for
unholy purposes. Those whom ne has
gifted with the hallowcd influences Of
poetry, who have the power To entrance
their ic.,cwS with single sweep Of the
Tyre, too often tune baachanal notes, and
write for the hall of rrvrlry, rather than
IN praise of the King Witness the case,
Of isabella OF Spain, Of Byron, aud tell
us if these things ARE not so.
+" How use doth brrrda habit in man :"
The ['uccr who gtafecrS cnHcr load of
jewels soon learns to lespisc the brilliant
things, and count them as drosS. Tho

and regards them as mere matters Of mcr-
chandi>". The naturalist soon lOoScs his
al;;,'lation for charms aud wonders Of the
natural universe in wild speculation and
scientific research. And Man, walking
in the light of Gods material smile, sur
rounded by the lovclincSs that tod has
prepared, and pNrtating &C the bountieS
that God has dispensed, soon becomes in
/ different to them all
Possession is wont to bcgct neglect
Because we may enjoy thc enchanting
beauties 9f Nature, without money, with
out molcStat'on !; comes that they fah

We have though; that If men would

\ WoRD To WwTERs.-Ncvcr ask an
editor who has rejected your manuscript
his reasons for so doing. lf he chooses
to inform you, take the criticisms without
debate. An editor is often obliged to dc.
cline articles which personally he would
be glad to publish because he thinks them
not such as his readers may desire, or for
other reasons equally valid. Remember
an author usually sees merit in his article
not perccptihlc to others, while there may
he defects in it Of which he is not aware.
1t Shonld be considered that an editors
time has been consumed in the cxamina-
ton, and that to ask moro would he to de-
mand that which should be devoted to his
readers. lie hns undoubtedly reason for
the rejection which to him are satiSfacto-
ry. Accept the fact in a kindly spirit,
rccollccting that what these reasons are is
Of no very vital Importance TO you.
