The HEARTsEAsE.-There is a good

which, all at once, the trees and flower.

Then the king saw q little heartsease,
which all the time, held up its little
cheerful face, while all the rest were

Little reader, are you like the oak,

nothing because you cannot do as much
as others are doing? Or viii you be
like the heartsease, and do your very

in which Gods hand has put you?

FRUIT AND OYSTERS.

Fruit should be eaten alive, like Oys-
tiers. There is an edge to the taste of q
fresh-opened oyster, which comes, sup
pose, from the surprise he feels at being
suddenly scoOped out of his shell. In q
few minutes this gives place to a feeling
of alarm and then, in an hour or two,
to one of despair. When he is laid out
with his brethren in dish, the whole
brood is hopeless and sad. They may
still taste of life, but it is of life disap-
pointed. But the fresh-opened oyster
has no time to grow feverish or melan-
chofy. He is caught in a state of serene
Inconsistencies of sorrow. He has q
sound mind in a sound body, and is
therefore wholesome and nice. Allow
him to reflect before his dissolution, and
the brightness of his spirit is gone. But
the quick operation of detaching him
from his shell sends spasm through his
being, which startles all the latent ex-
celleEce he may possess into sudden and
unique perfection. If eaten at this cri-
sis of his healthful powers, he conveys
all the qualification which an oyster is
capable of giving TO the superior ami
mai, man. So analagously, believe, is
it in eating fruit. 1t must be eaten alive,
before the reaction begins to set in from
its severance from the 1ife-carrying stem.
While plum, for example, hangs upon
1tS btd3As IL 10 III sOulo KIM Oh maR0oLlc
correspondence with all the powers of
nature; it shares the life of the earth
and the SKY it has sunshine in its veins,
and dew in its cells. Cut il of, and i'm
time it dies, corrupt, unwholes0me and
every moment in its progress from life
to death is marked by a decadence of
that essence which makes fruit delicious.
Therefore, supposing that you pluck It
ripe, the sooner q plum is eaten the bet
ter for you. This, of course, applies
most to tender, thin-skiRned fruit A
firm apple dies slowly. A nut holds
out long against the debasing influence
of separation from its source of life.
But plums, figs, peaches, apricots, and
straw berries begin to suffer directly af-
ter they are gathered. This is the case
even with pines, which are suscepti-
BILE of bruises, but they contain each an
apparent surplusage of flavor. that the
first stages of their decay are not per-
ceived except by a cunning palate.

A Fatal MIsrAKE.-Bishop Heber
said cit is fatal mistake to suppose
that there can be no apOstasy from Christ
where we are not absolutely called ON to
deny his name or to burn incense TO an
idol We deny our Lord whenever, like
Demas, we, through love of this present
world, fofsake the course of duty which
Christ has plainly pointed out to us.
We deny our Lord whenever we lend
the sanction of our countenance, our
praise, or even our silence. to measures
or opinions which may be popular or
fashionable, but we ourselves believe TO
be sinful in themselves, ortending to ain.
We deny our Lord whenever we forsake
good man in affection, and refuse to
give countenance, encouragement and
support to those who, for Gods sake
and for the faithful discharge of their
duty, are exposed to persecution and

SENATOR REvELs ADVICE TO HIS RACE.
Senator Revels. of Mississippi ,iectured
the other day in Baltimore to the men,
bers Of eoIored church, and among
other things said:
Education was the great lever by
which to raise and ennobIe the African
race on this continent. The colored peo-
pie should be fitted mentally and moral
ly for the duties swaiting them. The
eoIOred people should pay attention to
primary and then collegiate education,
and select such schools as are best fitted
for mental culture. To the young men
he would say that intellectual and moral
Attachments depended much upon how
youth was passed They should spurn
the thought that they would never sue
coed. The press, the chuFcs and polifi-
cal organizations, he said, ought to as
sist the coIered people in eleYasing their
race, and he advised the eolOred people
TO give their leisure hours to reading the
neWspapers, as they would keep them
acquainted with the great issues Of the
day. sa

the tax laws:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
| OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
WASHINGTON, March %, 1S70.N
| SIR: desire to call your attention to the
fact that frequent complaints are made
by taxpayers, that Internal Revenue off,
GERS are uncivil and offensive in the exc
cution of official duties. You will es-
pecially eHjoin it upon your Assistant
Assessors to guard against giving cause
for such complaints. The greatest civ
ility and courtesy should be observed
by officers in the discharge of their OFF,
cial duties. No rude or offensive lam
guage should be INDUCED in, and no
harsh or improper conduct practiced.
Any violation of these directions should
be regarded as cause for removal. These
suggestions are not intended in any way
to diminish the efforts of officers TO en-
| force the laws. That work must be
done efficiently and resolutely, without
fear or favor; but it should be done
kindly, decorOusly, and in such a man
ner as to give no just grounds for of
tense. ] am aware of the difficulties
which internal revenue officers have to
encounter. During the war, the abund-
ance of money and spirit of patriot
ism prompted men to pay their taxes
without complaint. Now, money is
more valuable, business less remunera-
tive, and all fear for the stability and
perpetuity of the government has van
ished.
Persons now resist taxation who,
heretofore, paid cheerfully and rulings
of this Office, made by former Commits
sioners, and which have hitherto been
cheerfully obeyed, are now not unfre-
quently opposed with bitterness, and
denounced as the arbitrary and illegal
decisions of the present Commissioner.
This is referred to in order to show
the necessity of prudence, courtesy and
Cancellation on the part of officers in
the discharge of their official duties,
and not in any manner to justify any
neglect or omission to enforce fully and
fairly the laws against all persons, with
out distinction and without favor. Tax
alton, in order to be just, must be i'm
partial and enforced upon all classes,
according to the exact measure of their
| liability. A great wrong would be done
if we found the laws were enforced on
ly against q portion of those who are
embraced within its provisions, and
nothing could justify executive officers
in allowing any discrimination in this
regard. Very respectfully,
(Signed) C.. DELANo,
Commissioner.

A very remarkable collection of relics,
contained in a Roman church dedicated
to st. Augustine, has been noticed in
the papers lately. A little while ago an
article on relics appeared in a Roman
Catholic periodical called the month,
and it was there explained that very
great pains, whatever incredulous Prot
estants may say to the contrary, are al
ways taken by the ecclesiastical author
tiles of Rome in the standardization ofrel-
les. A saints bone or piece of the true
cross must always be able to show its
written title-deeds. 1t must never be
established in any place of honor, or
receive the homage of the faithful. with
out having been identified by documents
which invest it with authenticity be-
yond reproach. Bearing this in mind,
the relics of the Church of st. Angus
tire cannot fail to inspire a feeling of
reverence which few sacred remains
have ever yet produced. The fortunate
monks of the convent to which that
church belongs rejoice in the possession
of nothing less than wing of the
Arehangel Gabriel. They keep it in a
glass case as if it were q stuffed bird,
and tempt forward enthusiasts, to whom
they exhibit occasionally, by offering to
sell a feather for an adequate considera-
ton. They are also the proud possess
Ors of the cord with which Judas Isca-
riot hanged himself, the comb of the
cock which crowed when Peter denied
his master, and the beard of the late Ia
mented patriarch, Noah. A Roman
Catholic priest from Hungary, attracted
to Rome by the -AcumenicaI Council,
who gave the first account of these rel
les to German paper, seems 10 have
been rather staggered by the large de-
mands made upon his faith, a result
which is not Hnfreqaently achieved
when modern Catholics, pious enough
at distance. come face to face with the
startling facts of the Papai city.
