BEECHER ON HYMNS.

If the Bible should perish oatIof our
language, itIcould almost be gathered up
again IN substance from out OF our hymns
that take wing from the very period Of
creation, and fold their wings only when
they touch the crystal battleIaehts.q " hen

ward IN autumnal weather, few. spring.
ing from the reeds and shrubs of labara.
dor, begin the aerial caravan, and as they
wind sonthward, out ofevery treeand every
! capse, from orchard and garden, come
forth new singers, increasing in numbers
at every fur ohs, until at length coming
down from their high pathways IN innu-
merable Hocks, they cover provinces and
fill forests, and are heard trlum ohing
through unfrosted orchards amidst the
vines, the olives, and the oranges, WITH
such wondrous bursts of song, that as one
lies between sleeping and waking, he
might think the Advent renewed. and
Gods angels to be in the air. And SO it
has pleased us often, in thoughts to liken
the rise, and spread, and flight, and null
titude OF hymns that have come dowu
from the beginnings Of time iLto Gods
pleasant gardens and vineyards, in our
lays increasing as they flew. Only, there
is no bird that can sing like hymn.
There are no meanings in the mingled
sounds Of all the singers of the grove, or
hedge, or lawn, like the voices of hymns
that utterall the mysteries Of Christ's love
in the human soul. The hyran- book is
the liturgy of the congregation. Singing
is the natural language of masses of men.
Reading is not. Reading leaves its edges
ragged and irregular. But singing isaa
flowing stream that hides the roughness
of It's bottom, and lifts its fluent waters up
around the bank till they meet the appro-
pirate edge of grass and flower, hiding
deformlty and revealing grace and beauty,
But there is no river that flows on earth
that, for majesty and subGmity, can equal
the stream of song In Gods sanctuary, Of
thousands of worshipers. It is like the
voice of thunder, but more significant.
/ 1t is like tho sound of many waters. It
may ftly be called river the streams
whereof shall make glad the city of our
God. aa aa ea fua5 a-ro7a
1t is no wonder that singing llas died
out from the regasion, when choir
is put to reeite words that nobody knows,
and the people are left to listento newly
converted opera airs which last week were
Brought over by a f. esh troupe ofopera
singers And those sweet melodies that
stilted propriety has long ago driven from
the churches but which have gone forth
among the people, and rung out glorlously
in camp meetings, shaking the TO. est leaves
| with the ascending shouts OF a mighty
| people OF which, more gently, have
filed rural school-rooms and humble
lecture-rooms, and village churches, not
+ yet corrupted by the false pretenses of
classical music those sweet melodies
that norone can hear with his ear and not
feel his heart beating within his bosom
all the faster for the sound--are become
the ridicule and contempt OF men who
think that God must be praised to the
sound Of Meverbeer or Rossiui, and not
70 the sweet, and humble melodies Of our.
/ own land.

ENDURANCE.

How much the heart may bear, and yet not
break!
How much the flesh may suffer and not die
question much ifany pain or ache
Of soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that is sworn
All evils may be borne.
We see a sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching i'll;
We seek some small escape-weap and pray
But when the blow falls, then our hearts are
still,
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn-
But think it can be borne.
We wind cur life about another life
And hold it closer, dearer than our own
Anon it faints and falls in deathly strife,
Leaving US stunned, and stricken, and alone
But ali we do not die with those we mourn
This also may be borne.
Behold we live through all things-famine,
thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inflcts its worst
On soul and body-but we can not die,
Though we be sick, and tired, and faint, and
worn;
Lol all things can be borne!

tween the natures of the English,
French, and German: ..., .. 81.
You arrive in England a stranger,
and'preseut a letter Of Introduction to
some gentleman. His reception strik,
you as cold and formal; he makes no
special offers of assistance, and you are
1nclined to suspect his acquaintance
will be of little service. By and by,
however, you find that he has been 81
lently interesting himself in your be-
half. He has remembered wishes that
you have carelessly uttered, and procur-
ed you opportunities for realizing them;
the want of demonstration has been
more than compensated by solid SER
In Paris you find just the reverse.
Nothing can surpass the empressment
with which you are. received. Every
thing is at your disposal; you will
make the man happy by the treest use
of his tnae aad trouble. Nevertheless.
you most beware of taking these offers
literally, unless you are prepared for
disappointment. The outshow of be-
nevolence has exhausted the capacity
for action. A few elegant cards are
exchanged, and there the matter rests.
In Germany we have the medium be-
tween the two extremes-a general,
