Ncibuhr in his youth was employed in
one of the public offices OF Denmark, wher0
part OF book of accounts having been lost,
he restored il from recollection.
Seneca complains of old age, because he
cannot, az he once did, repeat two thousand
names in the order they were read to him /:
and AYERS that on one occasion. when at his
studies two hundred uncoEuectcd verses
having been pronounced by different pupils
OF his preceptor. he repeated them in re-
Scrsed order, proceeding from the las: 10

memory, both of words and things, is an
invaluable treasure, and may be had by any
one who will take the pains
Theodore Parker, when in the Divinity
school, had notion that his memory was
defective and needed looking after, and he
had an immense chronological chart hung
up in his room and taSkod himself to com
nit tho contents all the names aud dates,
from Adam aud the year one down through

God n Lover of nenutN.

We doubt not that God is a lover of
beauty. We speak royercntly lie fash
ionod the worlds in beauty when there
was no eye to behold them hut his own.
All along the wild old forests he has carved
tho forms Of beauty. Every cliif, and stem,
and flower is a form Of beauty, Every hill,
and dale, and landscape is n picture OF
beauty. Every cloud aud mist-wreath, and
yapor.yail is shadowy reflection of
beauty. Every spring, and rivulot, river
and ocean, il glossy mirror of beauty.
Every diamond, and rock, and pebhly beach
is mine OF beauty. Every sea, and planet,
and star is a blazing face Of beauty Al
along the aislos of earth, all over tho arches
OF heaven, all through the cxpanscs of the
universe, are scattered, in rich and mhuite
prOtusion, the lite-gems Of beauty All
natural motion is beauty in action. The
winds, tho waves, the clouds, the trees. the
birds, the animals, all move beautifully, and
beautifully do the lightworlds of tho skies
dance their eternal cotilon Of glory. From
tho mote that plays its frolic IN the sun
beam, 10 the world that blazes along the
sapphire spaces of the armament, are visi
ble the eVeryaryiug features of the enrap,
turing spirit of beauty All this great
realm Of dazzling, bewildsring beauty wss

what Are We Living For 7

From Moore's Rural New Yorker
A traveller passed along a smooth level
road which wound through beautiful
farms by the side of quiet streams, over
hill and through dale. His attention was
entirely engrosscd with the new and lovely
scenes which burst upon his view, and all
careless aud needless he pursued his way,
not once thinking whittier he was going I;
aud the shades Of evening found him in q
strange country, and without guide.
We are all EdpclerS and many, many,
like this person, pass along through Life,
never thinking Of their journeys end, or
stopping to ask the solemn question,
What am living for?" Are we placed
in this beautiful world merely to pass away
time as we choose, not casting thought
Of the vciled Future away beyond No!
indeed wo all have n mission TO perform
"a great high and holy work to accom-
plish.
A few glide smoothly adown tho stream
of Life in fairy barks, enjoying the golden
sunshine, tho fragrant breeze, and music
of each singing bird" and do not try to
help tho poor shipwrccked beings around
thcm. oh what selfish life How widely
different from what He intonded. at il
not all of Life to live" As wo Journey
we should scatter flowers around tho path
way place cooling drinks in Wow. and ar
range shaduwy arbors, that those following
may be rcGalod by the sight of beauties
refreshed by cooling drinks and strength
onod by rest. We cdH do his. Are not
encouraging smiles and kind sympathizing
gances HOWe,S which bud and blossom in
tho genial soil of l.ovo and Hope! And do
not gentle words often refresh the heart OF
the sad and despairing, even like a cooling
drink to tina weary, heated traveller? And
do not acts Of kindness, and doods of mercy
strengthen us all
Not mighty dee Is make up the sum
or happiness below.
But little acts uf kindlimsss
Which any child may show"
We may think il but HRkr we can do, to
make tho world happier, wiser or better
but who can toll the inlluonce of Kind doedr
and words'
