OF CHRIsT-Christ made himself like to
us, that he might make US like to Himself.
Christ must needs have died, how else
could sin be expiated, the law satisfied, the
devil conquered, and man be saved?
They that deny themselves for Christ,
shall enjoy themselves in Christ.
Men would rather hear of Christ crucifed
for them, than be crucifed for Christ
If Christ denied innocent nature of love
to US, shall not we deny corrupt nature out
of love to him
Christ by his death appeared to be the
Son of man, by his resurrection he appear
ed to be the Son of God
Christ was the great promise of the Old
Testament, the Spirit is the great promise
of the New
Christ's strength is the Christians
strength.
If we would stand Christ must be our
foundation if we would be safe, Christ
must be our sanctuary.
In regard of natural life, we live in God :;
in regard Of spiritual life, Christ lives in
us.
He that thinks he hath no need of Christ
hath too high thoughts of himself he that
thinks Christ cannot help him, hath too low
thoughts of Christ
Presumption abuses Christ, despair refuses
Him.

RAPIDITY OF THOUGHT IN DREAMING.-A very
ant point in analogy, is to be found in the
extreme rapidity with which the mental
operations are performed, or rather with
which the material changes on which ideas
depend are excited in the hemisphercal
ganglia. 1t would appear as if a whole
series of acts, that would really occupy
long space of time, pass ideally through
the mind in an instant We have in dreams
no true perception of the lapse of time--a
strange property of mind, for if such be al
so its property when entered into the eter-
nal disembodied state, time will appear to
us eternity The relations of space, as
well as of time, are also annihilated. 50
that while almost an eternity is compress
ed into moment, infinite space is travers-
ed more swiftly than by real thought There
are numerous illustrations of this principle
on record. A gentleman dreamed that he
had enlisted as soldier, Joined his regi-
ment, deserted, was arrested, carried back
tried, condemned to be shot, and at last led
out for execution. After the usual prOpar-
alton a gun was fired :; he awoke with the
report, and found that noise in the next
room had, at the same moment, produced
the dream and awakened him
A friend of Dr. Abercrombic dreamed
that he crossed the Atlantic and spent q
fortnight in America In embarking on his
return, he fell into the sea, and awaking in
his fright he found that he he had not been
asleep ten minutes

\ BEAUTIFUL THouGHT-A writer whose
life has passed its meridian thus discourses
upon the flight of time Forty years once
seemed long and weary pilgrimage to
make. 1t now seems but step. And yet
along the way are broken shrines where
thousand hopes are wasted into ashes foot
prints sacred under their dust green mounds
whose grass is fresh with the watering of
tears shadows even which we would not
forget. We will garner the sunshine OF
these years, and with chastened steps and
hopes, push Oh toward the evening whose
signal lights will soon be swinging where
the waters are still and the storms never
beat

CosvuLsros OF NATURE" Some three

CONFUSION OF NATURE" Some three
weeks SINCE" says the correspondent of
Quebec paper, writing under date of the 9th
instant, "a peaceable family, residing at
Bon Desir in the county of Tadousac, were
reused from their slumber in the middle of
the night by horrible noise and quaking
of the earth around their dwelling. Rush
ing out into the darkness, but not knowing
where to turn for safety from a danger
which threatened to engulf them every
minute, their fears increased thousand
fold, they decided to await the return of
day before departing from the spot. Their
fears were not without foundation, as the
ground around them shook and grOaned in
the most dreadful manner Morning at
length came, and with it an alarming spec
tacle for the eyes of all the inhabitants Of
the locality to behold.
can immense moral hill had slidden
down. a house. barn, and number Of
other. buildings had been removed to dis
tance of about two acres below their origi-
nal sites, land the beach close by was strewn
with immense boulders, and raised TO
height of from twenty to thirty feet above
its usual level while the ground all around,
for the space of twelve or thirteen acres,
was cut up with deep crevices. The slide
covered an extent of over twelve acres in
depth by four or five in breadth The un-
fortunate proprietor of the land covered by
the slide is in the deepest despair at the
catastrophe. Almost all his crops, hay, po-
tatoes, and grain, are destroyed, and the
better half of his farm useless for the fu-
ture. There is, very fortunately, no loss of
life to be recorded"

DIsCoURAGING CHILDREN.-It is somewhere
related that a poor soldier, having had his
skull fractured, was told by the doctor that
his brains were visible 'Do write and tell
father of it." said he, "for he always said
| had no brains" How many fathers and
mothers tell their children this, and how
often does such a remark contribute not a
little to prevent any development of the
brain? A grown person tells child he is
brainless foolish or bockhead, or that
he is deficient in some mental or moral
faculty, and in nine cases out of ten the
statement is believed; the thought that it
may be partially so acts like an incubus
to repress the confidence and energies of
that child
We know boy who, at the age of ten
years, had become depressed with fault
finding and reproof, not duly mingled with
encouraging words The world appeared
dark around him, he had been SO of
ten told of his faults and deficiencies.
\ single word of praise and appreciation,
carelessly dropped in his hearing, changing
his whole course of thought We have of
ten heard him say. THAT word saved me"
The moment he thought he could do well he
resolved that he would and he has done
well. Parents, these are important CON
siderations.

A BOYS PRAYER--A Presbyterian clergy
man in Northern New York had two smart
boys, just old enough to have inquiring
minds, but not to discern the reason of things
They were taught to pray and the efficien-
cy and need of prayer daily impressed up
on them Both boys had patch of tnck-
ct" or "pop" corn in the garden, and the
growing blades We're watched with intense
interest, small reward being held out to
stimulate their industry One day, the
father walking near the patch" heard the
voice of the youngest solemnly engaged in
prayer, and drawing near listened to the
following petition 90 Lord, make my
corn grow great big corn, but make broth
er Sans grow all little nubbins !"

ABsTRACrED GENT" Old Bumblebee"was
the cognomen of Mr.. T, of Newbury-
port. He gained the title from the fact Of
his catching humble bee, one day, as he
was shingling his barn, and in attempting
to destroy the insect with his hatchet, cut
off the ends of his thumb and fore-fnger
letting the insect go unframed Other
mishaps happened to the old codger, on the
same barn. In one of his distractions, he
shingled over his spare hatchet and cut
ting a small aperture in the building to let
a little daylight in, this man actually set in
a wooden pane, as being economical and
not likely TO be broken Uncle t
in one of his obvious freaks, nailed his
left arm so firmly betwixt two boards of a
fence he was putting up. that he had to call
for help to get extricated from his selfim-
prisonment. He once put button on the
gate instead of the post But the rarest
freak of all was when he ran through the
streets with his hands about three feet asun-
der, held before him, begging the passers-
by not to disturb him, as he had got the
measure of doorway with him

TEACH YOUR BOYS TO AsrIRE.--Much pro-
sy advice is bestowed on boys and young
men that never gets beyond the drums of
their ears. One of the most useful ideas
you can introduce in young head is that
its owner is bound to make his mark in the
world if he chooses to try Teach him that
it depends solely upon himself whether he
scars above the dead level of mcdiocrity or
not, whether he crawls or flies Give him,
as far as possible, confidence in his own in
herent capabilities Argue that he has the
same faculties by which others have risen
to distinction, and that he has only to cul-
tivate them and apply in their exercise that
mighty propulsive agent, a determined will,
in order to rise Bid him shoot his arrows
not at the horizon, but at the zenith 4
boy who sets out in life with the Presidency
in his eye, although he may fall short of the
mark, will be pretty sure to reach higher
position than if his ambition had been lim-
ted TO the position Of town constable, or
tide walters berth in the Custom House
This is not land where poverty is a seri-
Gus impedimcnt to advancement Very
few of our miliOnaires were born with gold
spoons in their mouths, and several of the
most distinguished of our statesmen earned
their bread III early life by the sweat of
their brows. Fortunes gifts are wrung
from her in this country by heads andhearts
that know no such word as fail, and Fame
has no special favors for the siIk-stocking
class. Action, says Aristotle, is the es-
sence of Oratory, but it is more true that
energetic uiU is the soul of success. The
best temporal advice father can give
son is "aspire.'
Boy, let the eagles flight ever be thine,
Onward and upward and true to the line.
