An Eloquent Passage.

One of the finest things George
ID, Prentice ever wrote, is this mimi
table passage
at cannot be that earth is man s
only abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our life is bubble, cast up by
the ocean of eternity to float mo-
ment on its waves, and sink into
nothingness. Else why is. it, the
high and glorious, which leap like
angels from the temples Of our hearts,
are forever wandering unsatis6ed ?
Why is it that the rainbow aud cloud
come above us with beauty that is
not of earth, and then leave us to
muse on their loneliness? Why is it
that the stars, which held their fes-
tival around the midnight throne,
arc set above the grasp Of our limit
ed faculties, forever hooking us with
their unsproachable gloryp And
finally, why is that bright forms Of
human beauty are presented to our
view and taken from us leaving the
thousands streams of our affections
10 flow back in an Alpine torrent
rron our heart We are born for o
higher destiny than that of earth
There is realm where the rainbow
never fades; where the stars will be
spread out before us like the Islands
that slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings which pass be
fore us will stay forever in our pres
ence."

ILL KEEP EN- AwAKE.-Near
Newark lived pipus family who had
adopted an orphan, who, by the way,
was rather under witted He had
imbibcd strict views ON religious mat
tiers, however, and once asked his
adopted mother if she did mt think
it wrong for the old farmers to come
to church and fall asleep, paying no
better regard to the service. She re-
piled she did. Accordingly before
going to church the next Sunday, he
filled his pockets with apples. One
baldheaded old man who invariably
went to sleep during the sermon,
particularly attracted his attention.
Seeing him at last nodding, and Civ
ing usual evidence of being in the
Gland of Dreams" he took the as
tonished sleeper blow with an ap-
pie on the top of his bald pate. The
minister and aroused congregation
at once turned round and Indignantly
gazed at the boy, who merely said to
the preacher, as he took another ap
pie in his hand, with a sober honest
expression of countenance, You
preach I'll keep 'em awakew
