"a mote uneasily shifting in the boundless
space. l get no hope in this direction; but
look down, and find that the shoulders of
all inferior creation are under me- lifting me
into the very presence of God. find that
God has been at work below me in a mass
of minute and munificent detail by the side
OF which my life is great and simple, and
satisfyingly significant.
So, if may not believe in "pistareen
Providence" must make God Of the uni
verse itself, or pass into the hands of many
Gods the worlds creation and governance
If the God that made the bee and the ant and
the daisy made me, then He is not above
taking care Of me, and of maintaining an in
terest in the smallest affairs of my life. The
faith that lives in reason is never stronger
than when it stands on flowers. There is
not a fly that floats, nor fish that swms,
nor an animalcnle that navigates its little
drop of sea-spray but bears burden of hope
to despairing humanity eff God so clothe
the grass which to-day is and tomorrow is
cast into the oven," then what, Mr. Emerson |?
This subject is a very large one, and can
present only one more phase Of it. A great
multitude-the larger part, in fact-of the
human race are engaged in doing small work
the Almighty Maker Of all things has done a
great deal of the same kind of work, and has
not found it unworthy or Improbable en-
ployment. Let them remember that it is
jus, as hard to do small thing well as
large thing, and that the difficulty of deed
is the gauge of the power required for its
doing. Let them remember that when they
go down they are going just as directly
towards iniinity as when they go up, and
that every man who works Godward works
i'm honor.
1t was very forcible reflection to which a
visitor at Niagara Falls gave uttcrance, when
he said that, considering tho relative power
Of their authors, he did not regard the catar-
act as so remarkable piece of work as the
Suspension bridge; and it may be said with
truth, that there is no work within the power
of man so small that God has not been below
it in work smaller and possibly humber
still, il,-certainly humber when we consider
the infinite majesty and the ineffable dignity
of His character. My maid is too proud to
go into the street for pail of milk my God
smiles upon me in flowers from the very gut
ter. My ncighbor thinks it beneath him to
till the soil, working with his hands, but the
Being who made him, breathes upon that soil,
and works in it, that it may bear food to keep
human dignity from starving. There are
men who set themselves above driving
horse no part of which the King of the uni
verse was above making Ah human pride /!
Alas human dignity! ] do not know what
to make of you.

dreary journey, how pleasant to his listening
ear is the maine of home! 'Tis hallowed
spot, where only the wanderer can seek and

formalities and conventiohalities ofthe world.

cold grasp ofthe fatterer's hand Though
the olden days ofyouth rpay long have passed
away, yet, when in after life, drifting alone
in chcerless ocean, It'd then we can Rase
back upon that childhood's home, and for It
shed the heartfelt tear of regret. The con-
genial companion, the wife alone, can make
home again for is, and render it paradise.
