The Unchun0able Land.

Things do not change in the East. As
Abraham pitched his tent in Bethel, so
does an Arab sheik now set up his camp
as David built his palace on Mount Zion,
so would Turkish pasha now arrange
his house in every street may be seen
the hairy children of Esau, squatting on
the ground, devouring a mess of lentils
like that for which the rough hunter sold
his birthright along every road plod
the sons of Rechab, whose fathers, one
thousand years ago, bound themselves
and theirs to drink no wine, plant no
tree, enter within no door, and their
children have kept their oath, at every
Khan young men sit around the pan of
parched corn, dipping their morsel into
the dish; Jobs pillow is still used, and
the seed is still trodden into the ground
by asses and kline; olives shaken from
the bough as directed by Isaiah: and
the grating of trees is unchanged since
the days of So ul. The Syrian house is
still, as formerly, only a stone tent, as a
temple was but marble tent. What is
seen now in Bethany may be taken as
the exact likeness of the house of Laza-
rus, where Mary listened and Martha
toiled, or as the house Of Simon, the
leper, where the precious box of oint-
ment was broken, and whence Judas set
out to betray his master.-Dicke,as' III

COP loves beauty, and is eternally the
Author Of it and that which proceeds
from Gods hand, and is in eoasonance
with it, is always beautiful. Beauty
and divinity go together; and sin and
ugliness go together Things wrong,
and vicious, and criminal are ugly; and
they make themselves appear SO at last.
Things right, and the dispositions and
actions to which they lead, natures that
are high and pure and true, these are
beautiful and not only do they make
themselves appear 50, but they make
their vehicle. or that which may present
them, also appear beautiful. For it is
i'll the power Of the soul TO strike its own
colors through. and stain The body with
them; end that which is beautiful in
side, 1t last makes the outside beautiful.

LABoK.-Horacc Greely. who has re-
Gently made a long journey through the
Western States, says in regard to The
employment Of laborers.o
We could hear of 10 deafth Of en-
pieyment anywhere. We doubt that
there are one thousand men looking for
manual labor in the two States of Wis
consin and Minnesota, which together
have about one million inhabitants. An
average mechanic receives in Central
Minnesotz the price Of three bushels OF
wheat or fifteen bushels of potatoes for
a days work; a common aborer is paid
the price OF two bushels of wheat or ten
bushels Of potatoes; and tnere is work
for more men than can be had. We do
not believe there We're hundred men
looking for work or wanting it in the
two cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis,
with a joint population Of twenty thous-
and.''

To look at literature, how many fine
thoughts has every man had! how few
fine thoughts are expressed! Yet we
never have q fantasy so subtitle and ethe-
real, but that talent merely, with more
resolution and faithful persistency, after
a thousand failures, might fix and en-
grave it in distinct and enduring words,
and we should see that our dreams are
the solidest facts that we know.

Burn, O, evening hearth, and waken
Pleasant visions as of old
Though the house by winds be shaken,
Safe | keep this room of gold
All, no longer wizard Fancy
Builds its castles in the air,
Luring me by necromancy
Up the never-ending stair
But instead. it builds me bridges
Oyer manya dark ravine.
Where beneath the gusty ridges
Cataracts dash and roar unseen
And | cross them, little needing
Blast of wind or torrents roar,
As follow the receding
Footsteps that have gone before.
Naught avails the imploring gesture.
Naught avails the cry of pain!
When | touch the flying vesture,
lis the gray robe of the rain
Batfied l return. and leaning
Ger the parapets Of cloud,
Watch the mist that intervening
Wraps the valley in its shroud.
And the sounds of life ascending.
Family. vaguely, meet the ear,
Murmur of bells and voices blending
With the rush of waters near
Well | know that there lie hidden
Every tower, and town, and farm.
And again the land forbidden
Reassumes its vanished charm.
Well | know the secret places.
And the nests in hedge and tree:
At what doors are friendly faces,
In what hearts a thought of me.
Through the mist and darkness sinking,
Blown by wind and beat by shower,
Down l flung the thought ] IN thinking,
Down toss this Alpine flower.

THERE are not a few places in the BIZ
bic where men are exhorted to act like
men. 0feourse something meant
than manhood I'M its weak, and sinful, and
degrading aspects. Quit you according
to Gods ideal of manhood according to
that ideal which prevails in every age
and country in some things. The word
hero, heroic, heroism is not to be found
in Scripture, but the quality is recog-
nlzed there, and is made subect-matter
of eXhortation and command 1t is in
deed included among the Christian vir-
tues, and you can give no proper descip-
ton of heroism without making it sub
stantially Christian. You will find that
the line of instruction in respect to the
various Christian graces will make men
heroic, if it is followed out.
