SOMETHING LEFT UNDONE.

Labor with what zeal VIC will,
Something still remains undone;
Something, uncomplcted still,
Waits the rising of the sun.
by the bedside, on the stair,
At the threshold, near the gates,
With its menace or its prayer,
Like mcndicant it waits:
Waits, and will not go away
Waits, snd will not be gainsaid.
By the cares Of yesterday
Each to-day is heavier made,
Till at length it is, or seems,
Greater than our strength can bcar-
As the burden Of our dreams,
Pressing Oil us everywhere.
And we stand from day to day
Like the dwarfs OF times gone by,
Who as Northern legends SLY,
On their shoulders held the sky.

the heart OF a young heiress, and had given
parties in her honor, which spoke Of the
abundance of his love and-credit In order

champagne were bought on credit for the
summer supply for that boat. His credit was
good everywhere, and State street began 70

The Stage and the E.uIpit.

Fancy the thrilling effect of the Scriptures,

so? Is II right and proper that every book
for public reading should have Justice done
to it, except the Bible2 and that while every
other subject is allowed the advantage of a
natural and impressive delivery religion
(Which is the most important subject of ally
should be denied III The monstrous fallacy
with which wellmeaning but ohtuse people
have been beguiled or have begSiled them
selves IS, that such reading and recitation
would be Theatrical and that theatrical ex-
hibitions are not becoming in the house of
God. To this hollow and ridiculous fallacy
may be traced most of the execrabe pulpit
reading and delivery that rob the Scriptures
of half their power, and have often made the
dullness Of a sermon proverbial.
Set Kean to read the song of Miriam, or
the fight between David and Goliah, or the
story of the Prodigal Son, or of Christs de-
nuneiation Of the Scribes and Pharisees, or
to recite one of Chalmers sermons, and won

themselves in the corners of their seats for
their accustomed snooze sit up and listen TO
