The Fate of the Apostles.

All the apostles were assaulated by the en-
emies of their Master. They were called to
seal their doctrines with their blood, and no.

slain with a sword at a distant city of Eth-
opa
st. Mark expired at Alexandria after hay-

of that city.

Always Busy.

The more man accomplishes, the more he
may. An active tool never grows rusty
You always find those men who are the most
forward to do good, or to improve thefimes
and manners, always busy Who start our
railroads, our steamboats,, our machine shops
and our manufactures Men of industry
and enterprise. As long as they live they
work, doing something to benefit themselves
and others. 1t is just so with man who Is
benevolent--the more he gives, the more he
feels like giving. We go for actiylty-in
body, in mind, in everything Let tho gold
grow not dim, nor the thoughts become stale
Keep all things in motion. We should rather
that death should find US scaling mountain
than sinking in a mire---breasting q whiri-
pool than sneaking from cloud.

Quiet Virtues.

1t is the bubbliug spring which flows gem
tly. the little rivulet which runs along day
and night by the farmhouse, that is useful,
rather than the swollen or warning cataract,
Niagara excites our wonder, and we stand
amazed at the power and greatness Of God
there, as He "pours it from the hollow OF
His Hand" But one Niagara is enough for
the continent; while the same world requires
thousands and tens of thousands Of silver foun-
tains and gently y-nowing rivulets, that water
every farm and meadow, and every garden,
and that shall flow. ON every day and night,
with their gentle, quiet beauty. So with the
acts Of our lives. 1t is not by great deeds
alone, like those of the martyrs, that good is
TO be done but by the Christian temper, and
the daily quiet virtues Of life.

Row., April Is, 1868.


To-day bid farewell to the Eternal City.
/ have called as one does on his departure on
his friends, upon the chief places which have
interested me. St. Peters, the Roman Forum,
the column of Trajan and arch of Titus, the
Coliseum, the 0belisk in the Piazza del Popo-
10, have received my adieus. 1t is almost
with sad emotion | prepare to quit a place
that has so deeply impressed my mind. And
perhaps not for years will the full lessons of
this brief visit be fully learned and the true
conclusions be formed. In the excitement Of
new scenes one has little time to arrange his
thoughts. All his faculties are absorbed in
seeing. The rapid observations Of the hour
need to be stored in the memory as material
out of which a ripe and correct Judgment is
TO be formed. But some things are already
maturod in my thoughts, and years cannot
change them. Let me tell you some Of them ;
| have aimed to look on Rome with such
eyes as Hillard's and see with the vision of an
artist or religious enthusiast. have tried
to put myself into rapport with all the cere-
mony and display | have witnessed, to permit
my senses to be RECALLED with pomp and gilt
ter, with painting and architecture, with in
cense and music | have sought to learn the
secret OF this power, and fathom the mystery
of Rome. But | cannot be false to my train
ing and TO my conscience The delicious
strains of silver trumpets the magnificent an
thems and misereres of the Papal choir, the
sensuous splendor of Roman ceremonies, have
only confirmed the opinions | have inherited,
and established my confidence in the simplci-
ty of Christian Faith.

A correspondent of the New York Times,
who recently visited General Grant at
Gslena, reports the latter as saying:
The morning that Lee surrendered he
rode out between tbe lines and went out
and met him, aDI we had couple of
hours talk. Les said he hoped would
offer as maguaiimous terms to the other
Confederate armies as his had received,
told him he should, if he wished to serve
his friends go to the other armies ia person
and prevail upon them TO surrender. He
said he would wish to see Mr.. Davis FIRST.
/ didn't encourage a conference with Mr.
Davis, so that suggestion ended. But what
WANTED TO call yonr attention to was this:
Lee thought the Southern people would be
perfectly satisfied to give up all their prom
eTay. and all thaV eynaet.Ad of the. n.->-.
ment was to be secured in life and right
to go back unmolested to try 10 live in
