1t is not well that man should ALWAYS
labor. His temporal as well us spiritual inter-
est demand a cessation in the decline of life.
Some years of quiet and reflection are necessa-
ry, after life of industry and activity. There
is more TO concern him i'm life than incessant
occupation, and its product, wealth. He who
has been a drudge all his days to one monot-
onous mechanical purpose, can hardly be fit
for another world. The release from toll in
old age most men have the prospective pleas
ure Of; and in the reality, it is pleasing as it is
useful and salutary.

"Let none decry innocent amusements !:
they are the means of much real good 10 the
human family. Social merry-makings, not in
trinsically sinful, are good and healthful in
deed Let the laugh, the innocent joke, the
song, the tale, go round, for blessings follow in
their wake. Many have naturally cravings
for excitement, which, if not satisfied in the
manner referred to, will lead their subject to
scenes of sensuality, from whence only wretch
edness can flow. The producers of innocent
amusements and recreation for the people, are
then beneiactors of their fellow men,

The career of General Beauregard as
rebel officer, is more remarkable than admira-
ble He made brilliant beginning, only to
come very early to an ignoble end. As the
saying is, "He went up like rocket, and came
down like the stick" So much for military
career. As to the rest, he began gentleman,
and proves, in twelve months, a thorough
blackguard. The truth is las Solomon said
long ago), a man cannot meddle with pitch
without being defiled. A good cause enobles
the humblest of its servants; while bad cause
and there was never a worse one than that
of the rebels-degrades and disgraees the few
decent men who support it.

have highly valued. may again general support

From Professor D. 7. Smith.

II would be difficult for me to express too strongly
how desirable every account, II seems TO To bc
that the MIRROR should be well sustained. Nowhere
l. the influence of good religious newspaper more
important than it is in Maine In state Is il more
important that the Congregational churches should
have organ of their Nor do l see how any
reasonable man can ask for better organ than tho
MIRROR. Some other papers indeed enabled to
supply greater quantity of reading for the same
prices but other things being equal, medium sized
paper like medium sized book is better than larger
a anu as eau - say y ~ n una. hnow ol no
which, with so little intermingling of what Is of q
different character contains q larger amount a
greater variety of readable, reliable and every way
valuable matter original and selected, than the MIR
RoR. Rarely do place number upon file without a
distinct feeling of regret In regard TO less of
what il contains that cannot have il in volume ON
my shelves where il will be constantly at hand.

From Rev. DIR. Chickering.

All necessity for two papers having ceased we
ought TO have one taken in all churches good
as you and a hundred contributors can make it. The
most patriotic and liberty-loving among us cannot
complain of its tone in these stirring times; and
sometimes almost wish were compelled to rely upon
your weekly summary instead of reading so many ex-
citing details in the daily papers You tell what We
really need to know; and great many things that
we ought to do.

From Rev. prs. shepard and Harris.

MIR. LORD, Dear Sir Permit us to express our do
sire that the MIRROR receive the confidence and
support of the members of our churches and Congre
cations in Maine. II is conducted with painstaking
and ability. 1t is a judicious and earnest supporter
of the doctrines and poty of churches of their
missionary enterprises and their spiritual interests
Its religious articles for family reading choice. Its
summary of news, though necessarily condensed, is
comprehensive and wc-dgcsted The occasions for
difference respecting the application of Christian
truth 10 civil and social affairs passing away aud
Christian people rapidly approaching unanimity;
candor, forbearance and patience, with the grace and
providence of God, will enable them to obtain it,
Under these circumstances hope that those who
take religious paper will make trial of the MIR
RoR; and we expect-we think with good reason
that they will be satisfied with it. Maine paper has
obvious advantages TO Maine people, above one pub
hshed abroad, and presents obvious claims to their
support GEO. SHEPARD.
