SU N DAY READING.

When the celebrated Dr. Samuel Johnson
was asked why SO many literary men were in
fdels. his reply was. because they are g>
no-ant OF the Bible. II the question be
asked why the lovers of general reading SO
often fail To aequaint themselves with the sa-
cred volume, one reason which may be as
signed doubtless is, they are not aware of its
interesting variety. This feature of the Bible
is well Illustrated by Mrs. Ellis, in the follow
ing extract from her recent work entitled the
s'poetry OF Life -
"Nith our established ideas of beauty,
grace, pathos. and sublmity, either concen-
trated III the minutest point, or ex ended to
the widest range, we can derive from the
Scriptures fund of qualification not 10 be
found IN any other memorial OF past or press
ent time.
'From the worm tina. grovels IN the dust
beneath our feet. to the track oil the leyiathan
in the foamiug deep--from the moth that
corrupts the secret treasure 10 the eagle that
scars above his eyrie in the clouds-from the
wild ass in the desert To the Lamb within the
Shepherd fold-fron the consuming locust
to the cattle upon thousand hils-from the
lonely path ofthe wsnderer, to the gathering
of mighty maltitude-from the tear that
falls IN secret. 10 the din of battle and the
shout Il a triumphant host-irom the solita-
ny IN the wilderness 30 the satrap on the
throne-from the mourner clothed III sack.
cloth. TO the prince in purple robes-from
the gnawing Of the worm that Gieth not. to
the seraphic visions of the blest--from the
still small voice 10 the thHuders Of 0mnipo-
,ence from the depths Of he'll to the regions
of eternal gory-there il no degree of beauty
or deformity, no tendency TO good or evil. no
shade OF darkness or CLEAN of light, which
does not come within the cognizance of the
Holy Scriptures and therefore there is no
expression of conception OF the mind that
may not find a corresponding picture no
thirst for excellence that may not meet with
its full supply and no condition of humanity
necessarily excluded from the unlimited
scope OF adaptation and of sympathy com
pretended i'll the language or spirit of the
Bible"

Harry HoaE.-The homes of people are
the landmarks of civilization. They are q
standard by which we may measure their
moral and social greatness. What il . ma
ton but family, possessing rights and du-
ties, interests and privileges The influence
Of each member of that family, whether for
good or evil, is reciprocal. As the shock Of
electricity yibrates and expands, so the in
fuence Of human action is ditfused from the
centre to the circumference If society.
Hence, how cold that heart must be which
does not beat more quickly at the mention Of
the word. What delightful associations and
recolections are connected with that sacred
spot 1t is hire that the virtues and chart
ties, the blessings and realities Of human life
are enioYed. Here the sympathies Of the
heart and affections of the mind are nour-
ished and developed, and all that is great
and good in our nature is. brought to ma
turity.

Tomorrow is day too far
To trust. whate'er the day be,

May be gallows tree.

He made us. great and small
But being made, it's Circumstances
That finishes us all.
The author of this worlds great plan
The same results will draw
From human life, however man
May keep or break His law.
The artist TO His art doth look,
And Arts great laws exact
That those portrayed in Natures Book
Should freely move and act.
The moral Of the work unchanged
Endures eternally,
Howeer by human wills arranged

If we are TO taste the glory. II justified By
faith, we must suffer tfibuiation. When God
saves soul he tries'it. Some believers are
much surprised when they are called to suf-

Is to suffer. Go round to every one in glory !;

THs METEoaic SHOWER ONCE MogE.-The
latest aud boldest explanation of the period
lea meteorie showers, is given in recent
number of the French journal Cosmos II is
founded on the old saying Of kepler, that
there are more comets and meteors flying
about IN space than fishes in the ocean, and
the idea of Ogden, that these meteorites are
almost erywhere moving in all possible
planes lie Fonvielle supposes that the earth
in the course of ages has followed for Itself
kind of empty rut among those flying me
teoric masses, attracting all within the reach
of its gravitaton but as from time to time
by the periodical inequalities in its orbit, and
the numberlesss pe-turbations to which il is
subjected. it does not move exactly in the old
track, aud attracts other meteoric masses
which have thus far escaped its attraesiTe
power. Most of those masses when coming
in contact sith orr atmosphere will burn un
The less combustible parts fail down, and are
occasionally found as the meteoric stones. Of
which specimens are fonnd in many muse
ums. In confirmation of such theory. it
must be stated that lie Nerrier demonstrated
many years ago, BY mathematical calculations
the existence of several belts of such mete
oric masses moving in orbits like the planets
He has determined not only the locality of
the orbits, but also the total weight OF the
masses belonging TO each belt.

Truth.

Truth is like Gods baptism upon the hills.
First, il is like the drops silently descending
shrough q cloud of mist aud vapos to kiss the
petals Of some droopmg flower Then it is
little pool gathering in some tiny basin in
fraternai embrace Of atoms. Then it is rill
that goes cutting its way through the green
moss and down the sloplng hillside, hasten
ing to the meeting of waters below. Then i,
is stream hurryiug over precipices and
down cascade rocks, turning the great wheel
of manufacture, grinding the grain and work
ing the spindes and shuttels of men. Then
ii is the river. slowly rolling onward through
its mighty channel, upon which great, lazy
barges rock, and the paddles of the steam
boats beat And ,hen-;hen it is the broad
sweep of the Atlantic, upon which il borne
from land to land, the products of an entire
world And that's the way truth comes.
And that the way truth acts.

POETRY.
THE cross,

Blest they who seek,
While in their youth, g
With spirit meek,
The way of truth,
To them the sscred Scriptures now display,
Christ as the only true and living way;
His precious blood on Calvary vas given,
To make them heirs Of endless bliss In Heaven,
And cen on earth the child Of God can trace
The glorious blessings Of his Savior's grace.
For them he bore r
His Fathers frown;
The thoruy crown;
Nailed TO the cross,
Endured it's pain,
That His lifes loss
Might be their gain.
Then haste to choose
That better part,
Nor ever dare refuse
The Lord Your heart,
Lest He declare
~ know you not
And Deep Despair
Forever be yonr lot.
Now look TO Jesus who on Calvary died.
And trust TO him who there was cruci6ed.
