Christ In Everything.

How comparatively easy it would be
for US as Christians, if we were disposed,
to verify in our blessed experience, tho
truth OF Paups declaration-"Christ is
all in all, to be reminded of Him even
by the common occurrences of our daily
lives, and the objects which constantly
surround our path.
In awaking to behold the pleasant
light Of day, our thoughts may rest upon
Jesus, who is the "bright and morning
STAR" the "light of the world" the
"sun Of righteousness" beaming with
holy radiance upon the nations. In the
work Of purifying the body, we may
think of that blood which has been
shed for the cleansing away oi all sins.
In eating food for physical sustenance,
we may be reminded Of Him who is the
"bread of life" to the souli in partaking
of tho cool draught, we may remember
that we'll of water, springing up into
perennial fountains Of joy and blessed
ness, which Christ imparts to oil who
will come unto him and drink.
As we commune with the friends we
love, we may mediate upon that friend
who "sticketh closer than q brother"
who never changes, never grows old,
never dies. AS we gaze in silent ad-
miration upon the beautiful flowers
which loving God has scattered along
our pathway, we may contemplate Him,
who is comlier than the Rose of Sharon,
and fairer than the Lily of the Valley
As we look abroad over the plains and
rivers of the natural landscapes, we may
rejoice in the guidance of that good
Shepherd, who leads his sheep through
the green pastures and by the still wa
ters Of earth, and gathers them safely
at last into the heavenly fold, Then,
10 spirituaize the words OF Shakespeare,
the Christian may find
'Sermons in stones,
Books In the running brooks,
And good In everything"
saying at all times and in all circum-
stances, 'For me 10 live Is Christ"

1t cannot be from want of subsistence,
for insects, as every one knows, are
more abundant at that time, than earlier
in the summer; it cannot be from the
cold, for August is one of the hottest
months of the year; besides, it arrives
among us in March or April, when it is
as cold as it is in October. Other in
stances Of the same nature, show that
food and climate are not the sole causes
of migration.
The rapidity with which the migra.
tons of many species are performed is
very surprising. The celebrated orni,
biologist, Audubon, relates of the
common pigeon, that they have been
killed in the neighborhood of New
York with rice in their crops, collected
in the fields Of Georgia and South Caro-
lima, the nearest points at which this
supply could have been obtained.
Reasoning from the fact that the food Of
pigeons is entirely digested in twelve
hours, Mr.. Audubon concludes that
they must have travelled between three
and four hundred miles in six hours, or
about a mile a minute. The flight OF
the rapaclous birds, and also that of the
geese and ducks, is very rapid.
One of the most curious particulars
connected with the annual migration of
birds, is the circumstance of individuals
returning for a series Of years to the
same nesting place. The Abbe Spal-
lanzani having tied thread Of red silk
around the leg Of swallow, which
built its nest in his window, saw for
three seasons the same stranger with its
progeny annually appear. / have no.
ticed the same fact myself with regard
to some of our common birds; as for
instance the blue bird, a pair of which,
have, for three successive years, occu-
pied a bird-house put up for their
special benefit 1t is worthy of remark
that this pair always arrive two Or three
days in advance of the other blue birds,
as if desirous of obtaining undisputed
possession of their nesting place.
The migrations Of birds furnish us a
subject which more clearly than any
other, shows forth the abundant wisdom
that pervades the whole economy of
nature. Most of our summer birds
leave us at the approach of winter, to
seek food and shelter in summer climes,
hundreds and sometimes thousands of
miles away. Who taught them thus to
know the changing seasons7 What
hand guides and gives strength of wing
to sustain them in their homeward
hightl How natural is it for us, when
we think of the Supreme Power, that
guards and protects them in their limit
less wanderings, to think with the poet,
that:
HE who, from zone TO zone
Guides through the boundess sky their certain
flight,
In the long way that must tread alone.
VIII lead my steps Alright. ,"

history. An hour in the morning is
spent in gardening, the girls having nm
der cultivation about two acres of land.
Besides this the girls do all their own
work, such rs washing, ironing, and
other house work. Some of them are
quite skilled in Crooheting and other
fancy work. Every afternoon the whole
company, with theirlady teachers, either

sport of bathing and swimming, fol
which the river affords 0 fine place.

maids in the celebrity and grace with
which they glide through, over aud un.

the art Of swimming before they enter.
