Animal Mechanism.

Students of natural history have per-
petual feast in the contemplation of the econ.
omy they discover in the structure and lodg-
ment of the various organs which gave per-
lection to the body. The packing of the
liver, to have it occupy least room, but above
all, the manner of slowing the brain so as to
have it exactly fill the skull, excites the
highest admiration of those most familiar
with this system of economizing room in
Nature handiwork. The human brain, for
example, is supposed to be made up of dis
tinct cords, lying side by side, too numerous
and too delicately small to ever be clearly
displayed, but rolled up in balls under the
name of ganglia, lobes, and hemispheres,
occupying the least possible space consistent
with their appropriate functions. If each
cord were carried out in a straight line they
might be from fifty to hundred feet in
length! There is one important character
istic gland in man which is scarcely larger
than nutmeg, wholly made up of parallel
tubes exceeding thirty feet in length. In the
nasal cavities of carnivorous animals which
hunt their prey by the sense of smell, the OIL
factory nerves, occupying apartmenthardly
the size of the little finger, if they could be
unrolled and unfolded would present broad
sheet of nervous surface several feet square.
These are but few examples of the curious
arrangements discoverable in animal organ
ization, where important and complicated
machinery is put into the smallest magma
bic space, so as to insure compactness, secu-
rity, and symmetry by economy in packing.
Birds present very marked examples of this
kind of animal perfection, but especially in
an additional continuance by which the
weight of their bodies when at roost acts
upon compound lever, the arrangement of
their legs being such that their toes cling to
a limb while they are unconscious or asleep.

Little Mabel.

In prayer meeting in Boston, a middle
aged man rose and said, Il have been thought,

and l will tell you how it came to pass that

"0ne Sunday evening l was lying on the
sofa in my parlor. My wife had gone out,
and no one was with me but little Mabel, a
sweet child about six years old, who was
making visit to US, and who sat by the
center-table, amusing herself with pictures
At length, getting tired of them, she came
up to the sofa, and began caressing me in
her winning, ehildlike way.
"'Uncle, said she, putting her soft little
hand in mine, dear uncle, 1 want you to tell
me something about Jesus: mamma always

it, talking of something else. But the little
creature would not be put off, Again and
again she came back with the same request,

Finding I did not comply, she at last said
opening wide her clear blue eyes, Why you
know about Jesus, don't you?
"That question awakened thoughts and

Your House.

Be true to yourself at the start, young man,
Be true to yourself and God;
Ere you build your house mark well the spot,
Test all the'ground, and build you not
On the sand or the shaking sod.
Did, dig the foundation deep, young man,
Plant firmly the outer wall;
Let the props be strong and the roof be high,
With an open turret toward the sky,
Through which heavens dews may fall.
Let this be the room OF the soul, young man,
When shadows shall herald care;
A chamber with never a roof or thatch
To hinder the lighter door or latch
To shut in the spirits prayer
Build slow and sure-'tis for life, young man,
A life that outliyes the breath;
For who shall gainsay the Holy Word?
"Their works do follow them, saith the Lord,
"Therein there is no death
Build deep and high and broad, young man,
As the needful case demands;
Let your title-deeds be clear and bright,
TIL you enter your claim to the Lord of light,
For the house not made with hands.

Hengstenberg.

A French paper gives the following notice
of the last illness of DR.. Hengstenberg, SO
widely known in this country by his "Chris'
tOlogy":
"Hengstenberg died as he had ived-a
firm and well-established Christian. During
his last illness, which continued for six
weeks, he exhibited great patience and great
faith 1t was his habit to recite the Psalms,
One day he said, Il am like peaceful sea,
full of praise and thanksgiving And again,
% my God, thou has heard me in letting
thy servant depart in peace. l yield thee
thanks for that thou hast recalled me from
this world, where there is so much to do and
so little strength for it,
Before his death he took the holy CON-
munion with his family, gave dying testi'
mony as to his faith, and declared his for
giveness of all his enemies. His last words
we're, The emptiness of Rationalism The
principal thing is Christ Jesus Christ lives.
One is already in heaven and so happy
Blessed indeed are the dead who die in the
Lord; they rest from their labors, and their
works do follow them

If the census of rhematic patients could
be taken, it is believed that even greater
ratio in favor of Florida would be found.
At present it is safe to say there are hun
dreds of individuals in various parts of the
North, slowly fading away, victims of con-
sumption, who in Florida would enjoy good
health for many years. Thus not only in re-
spect to her resident population will Florida
be healthy State;-she will ever be the
favorite winter residence Of invalids and per-
sons of delicate health from all parts of the
Union. This will always be source of great
emolument. The mineral springs of which
the State is full, will in due time, when their
sanitary virtue becomes known, be as numer-
ously resorted to as those of Saratoga, or
other fashionable watering places.
For years to come, Florida will be the
cheapest State in the Union to make liv-
ing in. Fuel is abundant for the cost of
hauling. The mildness of the climate makes

Genius and Character of Father Hyaointhe.

I
Father Hyacinthe is in every sense, and
to the fullest meaning of the word, an orator.
He is not a great thiaker-aometime hardly
logical even in the sequence Of his thought,
and far from remarkable for any power of
wide generalization. Much of his power lies
in that subtle, curious influence men call
animal magnetism. In the graces of elocu-
tion he is an adept, and more at home with
them than with the flowers of rhetoric. The
of his thought, if the phrase
may be allowed, is graceful, but with shade
more of fancy about it than is usually found
in men of his depth and power. For while
he is not great thinker, he is more than
man of fine and fervid imagination skilled in
the tricks of voice and manner that make
oratory powerful with the masses. There is
something for every man to learn from the
lips of the great priest. Every now and
then q sentence, clear cut as crystal, and
holding in its crypt the thought that it il.
Eliminates without Obscuring, flashes across
the thread of his speech, never disturbing
the hcarer, because never out of place itself,
yet serving to light up and mark for his flu
ture study some transitional point in the ar
gument where other men would have left
gap. Every now and then thought comes
like an inspiration to close the gaping incOn,
sistencies between two seemingly discordant
doctrines which the utmost ingenuity of or
binary thinkers could not so much as tenn
porasily bridge. To his elOquence and ora
tory Father Hyacinthe adds delicate and
poetic conception of life, acute and active
perceptions, and apower of realism, of throw
ing himself into close, earnest sympathy with
other thoughts and systems than his own,
which are both rare and wonderful From

PRAYER IN THE SABBATH SCHoOL.-It
should be offered by teacher, who has been
requested beforehand to lead in this solemn
act of worship. 1t should be the children S
prayer, not the teachers. These have just
come from the prayer room, perhaps, where
they have asked Gods presence with them
while they teach. Teacher, pray in childs
language, pray child's request, for childs
blessing, and God viii answer you. The
prayer, too, should be very direct-just in
the line of the lesson you are about to teach.

A SOUTHERN FATHER, learned judge,
once said; "What can be done to save our
children?" We know of no patent method
for securing their morals. No gilded, flow
cry path for their training for virtue has yet
been discovered; no railroad track to the
New Jerusalem has yet been laid.
The knife that is oftenest on the stone is
the sbarpest, and the diamond Oftenest on
the wheel is the brightest. The deer are &C
custOmed to leap from bank to bank, and
from hillOck to hillock, to train fawns to be
nimble and fleet
If parents would train their young, let
them get under the shadow of the cross
themselves. Let their lamps burn brightly,
and their light will be reflected by the face
and heart of a boly family circle.
