VIRTUE and vice divide the whole world be-
twiIt them; the one hath the greatest part,
but the other is the more desirable; this maxi es
miserable, but that happy; the former affords
true pleasure, but the latter piocures certain
misery.
NIRruoUs persons are by all good men open
ly reveTenced, and even silently by the bad az
much 40 the beams of virtue dazzle even un
willing eyes.
We should be careful to deserve a good rsp
utation, by doing we'll; and, when that care !,
once taken, not to be over anxious about th,
success.
IT is better that mans own works. thar
that another mans words, should praise him
Know thyself said Bias; so shall no fiattorel
deceive thee.
MANY take less care of their consciencs than
their reputation. The religious man tears, the
man Of honor scorns to do an Ill action.

IT is easy for an undecided man to become

tuous motives, he will be an honest man, and
we know where to 6nd him ; if a man OF de-
cision and vicious motives, he will be a dis
hohcst man, and we know where to find him
also. But if he be man Of indecision we
know not where to find him. To day he how
ers about the armies Of virtue, and perhqps
stands brayely Tor while to morrow he 1e
serts to the ranks of vice traitor to his man
hood. Even the honesty OF a man who may
possess character, which is ia the main
strongly disposed to virtue, is to be trusted
with great caution, If from a lack of decision
we lind him vacilating in the midst of con-

fHR Methodist Episcopal Church is making
rapid progress in the former Slave States. In
Louisiana and Texas, more than 10000 colored
Methodists have broken of their connection
with the Southern Methodist Church and Joined
the Northern Church. Bishop Thompson Or
ganized in December, at New Orleans, the
Mississippi Annual Conference of the NJ. e.
Church, which already numbers II preachers
and over "a, 900 members. A "Biblical Insti-
tute" has been opened in the City of New Or
leans, and new church organ, The New Or
leans Advocate, has been started by the Rev.
j. P. Newman.
In Kentucky, 25 ministers of the Southern
Methodist Church, with about 5000 OF the
white members, have declared their intention
OF joining the Northern Church. The colored
congregations either have already taken the
same step, or intend soon TO iALe 10.
la d-0rgIa, the Rev. Mr.. Caldwall, a mem ber
OF the Georgia Annual Conference, is now
laboFing as missionary of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. There, as in every other
Southern State, it is highly probable that the
entire colored membership of the Southern
Church will connect itself with Northern Meth
odism.

TRANSFORMERS OF THIS WORLD.

ut Is twice told tale that the world is pass
ing from us and there is very little new to be
said on the subject God has written il on
every page of His Creation that there is moth
ing here which lasts. Our affections change.
The friendships Of the man are not the friend
ships of the boy. Ourvery selves are altering.
The basis of our being may remain but our
views, tastes and feelings are no more our for
mer self than the oak is the acorn. The very
face of the visible wsrld is altering around us,
we have tho grey mouldering ruins to tell of
what was once. Our laborers strike their
ploughshares against the foundations of build
ings, that once echoed to human mirth, skel-
tons OF men to whom life once was dear--urns
and coins that remind the antiquarian of a
magnificent empire. To day the shots of the
enemy deface and blacken monuments and
venerable temples which remind the Christian
that into the deep silence of eternity the Ro-
man world which was in its vigor in the days
Of John, has passed away. And so things are
going. 1t is work OF weaving and unweav-
ing. All passes. Names that the world heard
once in thunder are scarcely heard at the erd
OF centuries good or bad they pass. A few
years ago and we were not A few centuries
further and We reach the age of beings OF al
most another race. Nimrod was the Conquer
er and scourge Of his particular age. Tubal
Cain gave to the world the iron which was the
foundation of every triumph Of men over na-
ture. We have their names now But the
philologist is uncertain whether the name of
tue first is real or mythical and the traveller
excavates the land mounds OF Ninevah to won-
der over the records which hecannot decipher.
Tyrant and Benefactor both are gone. And
so all things are moving on to the last FIRE
which shall wrap the world in conAagrstion
and make all that has been the recollection of
dream. This is the history of the world and
all that is in it, 1t passes while we look at It,
Like as when you watch the melting tints OF
the evening sky-purple, crimson, gorgeous
gold, few pulsations of quiyering light and
it is all gone-we are such stuff as dreams are
made Off,. W. RoBERrsoN, OF Brighton,
