THE FAMILY CIRCLE

A traveller in Scotland observed some
choice and rare plants growing on the edge
of precipicc. He could not reach them,
but offered to little Highland boy hand
some present if he would consent to be low
cred to the spot by rope around his waist.
The boy hesitated, he looked at the money,
and thought of all that it would purchase.
for his parents were poor, and had few of
the comforts of life; but then, as he glanced
at the terrible precipice, he shuddered and
drew back. At length his eye frightened,
and he said, with decision, "Ill go if father
will hold the rope" And he went.
"This boys trust" says the Rev. DR..
Wise, g is a beautiful illustration of the
faith which saves the soul; for as he put
himself into his fathers hands to be bound
with the rope and lowered down the gorge
to pluck the coveted flowers, so must you
put yourself into Christ's hands to be par
doned.
As THE mariners compass, though COM
plete in all the varied beauty and the SYM
metry of its parts, yet lacks one thing to
make 1t effectual, the points being touched
with the magnetic influence; so Christians.
though endowed with all the learning and
culture of ancient and modern love, are in
cfiectual for the advancement of the spirit
ual interests of their fellow men until their
hearts are touched with the vitalizing, mag
netic influence OF the Holy Spirit.
THE TRIAL OF S. II. TYING, JR.-Thc trial
of S. II. Tying, Jr., goes on. Mr.. Tying
having declared TO the Bishop his detcrmi-
nation not to choose fiom the twelve pres
byters named by the standing committee
five to form the court for the trial of his
case, the bishop of the diocese has selected
five, as provided by canon. He has select
ed Messrs Tuttle, of st. Luke's, In New
York Beach, of st. Peters Hoffman, of
Grace church, Brooklyn Heights Dean
Moore, of Hampstead, and Samuel Hollings-
worth, of Portchester.
ALMOST ALL mankind are constantly
catching at something more than they pos
sess, and torment themselves in vain. Nor
is our rest to be found amongst those enjoy
menis of the world, where all things are
covered with deuge of fluctuating, rest
less waters; and the soul flying about, look
ing in vain for place on which it may set
its foot, most unhappily looses its time, its
labor, md itself at last, like the birds in the
days of the flood, which having long sought
for land, till their strength was quite ex-
hausted, fell down at last, and perished in
the waters.-Leighfon.

II was like Harvard College without thc
District School-a planet without satellites,
and too far removed from the world of the
people for its light to shine in the cottage
and in the homes of the masses.
''Now, chromo-lithography. although still

of art merely among the people at large, but

ralized in America. Its attempts hitherto
it was not Homer and Plato that werc first
honored by the printing press. 1t was dreary

with this new art. As the popular taste i'm
psoycs the subjects will be worthier of an
art which seeks to give back TO mankind
what has hitherto been confined to the few. :"
