A BEAUTIFUL PAssAGE.-The following
is from the reTtries of bachelor by Ike
Marvel: a poor man without some kind
of religion is at best but a poor reprobate,
the football Of destiny, with DO tie linking
him to infuty and the wondrous eternity
that is even worse-a fame without heat, Il
rainbow without color, a flower without per-
funle. a man may in some sort tie his hope
and his honor to this shifting ground tack le,
to his business or the world, but a woman
without that anchor called faith, is drift
and wreck A man may be in sort of
moral responsibility out of relation to man
kind but woman, in her comparatively is
olated sphere where affection and not pur-
pose Is the controlling motive, can find no
that of faith. a man may ciaze his tho is
to truStfulneSs, in such poor harborage as
fame and reputation may stretch before him,
but a woman-where can she put her hopes
IN storms if not in heaven? and that sweet
truthfulness-that abiding loye-that en-
during hope mellowing every page and
scene in life-lighting them with radiance,
when the storm breaks like an army with
cannon, Who can bestow its all but holy
soul, tied to what is stranger than army with
cannon? Who has enjoyed the love of a
christian mother, but will echo the thought
with energy ard halow it with tears p

One Hundred Years Ago,

On hundred and ten years ago there was
not single white man in Ohio, Kentucky.
Indiana and Illinois. Then, what is now
the most fourishing part of America was as
little known as the country around the
mountains Of the moon. lt was not until
1867 that Boone left his home in North
Carolina to become the first settler in Ken
lucky. The first pioneers of Ohio did not
settle until twenty years after this time. a
hundred years ago, Canada belonged to
France, and the whole population did not
exceed a million and half of people. 4
hundred years ago, the great Frederick of
Prussia was perf6rming those great exploits
which have made him immortal in military
annals, and with his little monarchy was sus-
tang sinsl handed contest with Austria,
Russia and France, the three great powers
of Europe combined. 4 hundred years ago
Napoleon was not born, and Washington
was a modest Virginia colonel, ,and the great
events in the history of the two worlds in
which these great but dissimilar men took
lending parts. were scarcely fore e-shadowed.
4 hundred years ago the United States
were the most loyal part of the British EN-
pre- and on the political horizon no speck
indicated the struggle which within score
of years thereafter established the great re-
public Of the world 4 hundred years ago
there were hut four newspapers in America.
Steam engines had not been imagined and
railroads and teleeraphs had not entered into
the remotest conception of man. When we
come to look back at it through the vista of
history, We find that to the century passed
has been allotted more important events, in
their bearing upon the happiness of the
world, than almost any other which has
elapsed since the creation

had she been spared awhile, they would have

Deacon B.. of Ohio, very piohs man.
was noted for hi. long prayers. Que Mon
day morning, as was his custom, the deacon
prayed, after breakfast, but having an unu-
sual amount of work to do that day, he cut
his prayer short, took his hat and started
to his work. His wife, being deaf, did not
hear him go out. and thought he was still
praying. On his return in the evening, he
was surprised to find her kneeling. He
stepped up to her and shouted Amen,
when she arose and went about her work,

The solemn Feast Of Lent.


The term "Lent" is derived from the
Saxon word signifying Spring fast, or
the time Of humiliation observed by
Christians before the festival of Easter
The fast corresponds with the prepara-
tons Of the Jews for the yearly expia.
tion, and is, like other observations. of
Jewish origin. Their humiliation was
forty days before the expiatory saeri.
fee Of the Son Of God upon the cross ior
the sins Of the world Il will be found
by consulting EnseJiias. that il was Gus.
tomary for the Christians from the ear
liest ages to set apart portion Of time
for humiliation, prayer, fasting aud 9TH
er devout exercises.
The nupber forty has been rendered
in various ways quite significant, and
was appropriated 10 those special sea.
sons of repentance. For forty days the
deluge covered the earth--forty years
the Israelites wandered 10 the desert
until the whole generation except one
was cut off-Moses tasted forty days on
the mount--Eljah forty days 10 the
wilderness--the Nineyites we're allowed
forty days for repentance, aud our
blessed Lord tasted forty days in the
wilderness at the commencement Of his
ministry on earth. Hence it Is that
this practice has been followed for more
than eighteen hundred years. The
ancients observed the season with great
strictness. No marriages were ceisbra-
ted-no festivals were held, except on
Saturday and Sunday--and except on
these two days the Eucharist was not
consecrated during Lent. Other fasts
ended at three o'clock in the afternoon,
but this was kept up till evening. The
propriety and duty Of observing this
season, We leave TO those whose psoper
Office is to enforce tkem from the sacred
desk.
The observance Of this season 10 an
other view is highly beneficial. Dur
ing the holidays, the rejoicings have
been connected with the choicest viands
and consequently as Spring approaches
the system is more predisposed than al
other times to disease, and unless these
hsmors be eradicated in time, win pro
duce much sickness. BY proper ab
stinence, then, the body resumes it.
natural tone, and good health continues
Fasting, then, is good; indeed, much
better than physic.

The Absurdity Of Drinking.

It has become a sort Of pophlar--al-
most national--faith that il is not pos
sible to be truly happy unless yen drink.
Among certain olasses--and they are
by no means exclusively the lowest
drink is the beginning and end Of every
thing. The very name Of liquor 10 held
to be Synonymous with enjoyment, and
the dearer the liquor the more is il
priced aud coveted. Yet every man
who is not downright drnnksrd, is
well aware that the pleasures Of drink
ing are, beyond certain point, mock
cry, delusion, and snare. / put It
to amy Que who has stood half the night
at bar, or sat half the night 10 club
room, drinking, smoking aud bandying
reckless talk, If the enjoyment Of such
an evening has beenanything like that Of
few quiet hours at home with book
or newspaper The evil iuAnenco or
tavern pleasures on the health is too
obvious to be denied by any one, and
the illusory nature Of the pleasures
themselves would be undeniable also,
If the persous Who indulge in them did
not deceive themselves aud put the
truth out Of sight.
No one ever brought any good out Of
drinking about yet. II is short, fever
