The chamber in which the infant opens
Its eyes Is universe Of mysteries. The
fathers voice, the motber's smile. reveal
to it slowly the mysterious world of the
affections. The child solves many of these
mysteries; but as the circle of knowledg is
enlarged, its vision is always bound by a
vail of mystery. The sun that wakens it
at morning, and again at night looks in at
its window to bid it farewell the tree that
shades Its home, and 10 whose ranches the
birds come and sing before the dews are
dry, the clouds with shining edges that
move across the sky, calm and stately like
the chariot Of an angel, oil are mysteries
Nay, to grown-up man there is not thing
whoa the bend touches, or on which the
eye rests, which is lot enyeloped in mys
terry. The flowers that spring at your feet
who has revealed the wonderful secret Of
its organization? It's roots shoot down,
aud leaf and flower rise up and expand in
to the Infinite abyss of mystery. We are
like emigrants travelling through an IN
known wilderness; they stop at nightly &
IL wing stream; they feed their horses, SCI
up their tents, sapd build fire; and as the
ilames rise mp, all within a circle of a few
rods around is distinct and clear 10 its
light But beyond and bounding this, are
rocks dimly seen, and trees with vague out
line stoop forward to The blaze; and be
yond the branches crack, and the waters
murmur over their beds; and wild, no.
known animals howl in the dark realms OF
night and silence - Westehester Neps.

1u TIE BIRD OF THE ToLLiNe BELL Among
the highest woods and deepest gleus Of
Brazil, a sound is sometimes heard, so sing
ular that the sound seems quite unnatural
II is like the distant and solemn tolling OF
church bell struck at intervals. This
extraordinary noise proceeds from the Ara.
wonds. The bird sits at the top OF the
highest trees in the deepest forests, and
though constantly heard in the most desert
places, il is very rarely seen. 1t Is impos.
sible TO conceive anything of more solitary
character than the profound silence Of the
woods, broken only by the metallic aud al.

bird, coming from the air and seeming to
