tavern in South Bend, l walked the foot

great weariness. [ saw light through a

the man and his work, and about the late

Professionalism acknowledges this, and this
acknowledgment constitutes its superiority

The sincere reader of the New Testament
Will be ever more and more disposed to
make his religion matter lying directly
between himself and the Divine Being
His outward conformity to all Just laws
and good institutions will be, not the less,
but the more perfect because his scale of
obligation is an individual one, the spring
and motive of his actions a deeply inward
one. Church and state gain in soundness
and efficiency by every individual con-
science that functions within their bounds
Religion of this sort leads away from hui

He is forced to teach those who will listen
to him that God is much nearer than the
priest, and that their own simple and sin

at once more Just and more precious than
the fallacies and sophisms of an absolute
theology. Such teaching will scarcely be
more relished by the Greek than by the
Romish clergy; yet the Protestant must

COMMON EVENTS OF LIFE-Of old
times Michael Angelo took his copies from
the persons in the streets, and wrought
them out on the walls and the ceiling of
the Vatican, changing beggar into
giant, and an ordinary woman who bore a
basket of flowers on her arms into an
angel; and the beggar and flower girl
stand there now in their lustrous beauty,
speaking to eyes that wander from every
srie of the green world. The rock slum-
bered in the mountain, and he reached his
hands out and took it, and gathered the
stones from the fields about him. and built
them into that awful pile which covering
acres of ground reaches up its mighty
dome towards heaven, constraining the
mob of the city to bow their foreheads,
and to VOW great prayers to God. So out
of the common events of life, out of the
passions put by God into your hearts, you
may paint on the walls of your life the
fairest flowers, angels and prophets Out
of common stones of your daily work, you
may build yourself temple which shall
shelter your head from all harm, and
bring down to you the inspiration of God.

A FROG SToRY.-One is half inclined

us about the water snakes and frogs of
Egypt The former have. he informs us,
passionate liking for frogs-that is, for
devouring and digesting them. No one
knows this better than the frog, and ac-
cordingly, when they meet in a pond
wonderful is the cunning that ensues. The
water-snake glides up as if intentioness of
evil but our other Shiny friend is quite
aware of the intentions of the passionless-
looking snake. He makes for the nearest
twig seizes it, and carries it across his
mouth, and then fearlessly approaches the
hydra. The latter now makes at the frog
with open Jaws; but the twig across the
frogs mouth is much wider than the Jaws
of the snake, and he can by no possibility
swallow the much desired frog. The latter
looks down his enemy's throat from the
outside, holds fast to the protecting twig,
and laughs. The water-snake tries again
and again; he glides around his antici-
pated victim, but the frog always contrives
to keep him in view, and the end of every
attempt is that the foiled snake finds the
bar carried by his anticipatory victim ly-
ing across his open jaws, and the frog once
more laughing down his throat The
hydra at length gives up in despair, and

he knows his kindred to be assembled, tells
his exciting tale, raising a very din of
